Filmed over a 2 year period, ‘The Battle’ captures a moment in British history; chronicling efforts to bring about reform and change. Chris Baldwin and friends opened a Dutch-Style coffee-shop (in Worthing, West Sussex), with soft drinks and Cannabis on the menu. Chris’s story is remarkable; a man on crutches standing up to the might of the British government. ‘The Battle’ follows his journey into unknown territory, and documents his smuggling of Marijuana into the UK. Challenging border control, Chris is prepared to sacrifice personal liberty for his belief in individual choice….. His aim was to prove that society is…
I started out life in a bad spot. I’m not whining about that, mind you, but I think I must make it clear how I got to where I am. We are, ultimately, the product of our environment to a certain degree. Almost everybody has one of those “when I was a kid” stories that explains why they don’t like clowns, or ice cream trucks, or the funhouse mirrors at the circus. Some of us have stories like that which explain why we can’t tolerate loud noises, or have trouble with confined spaces. My parents were pretty violent people. Mostly…
In America the tide is turning. Legalized cannabis consumption for recreational purposes is now a reality in two states. Okay, that is only two out of fifty, but it’s a pretty good start. So far the federal Justice Department of the United States isn’t making some kind of obvious move to stop this from happening, although they aren’t throwing their support behind it either. This example alone does a good job of showing the complete disconnect between the public and our elected officials. This situation also highlights some of the advantages of the American republic system compared to the Parliamentary…
Last summer, a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences sparked a new round of worries about the dangers of smoking pot—especially for those who start smoking at younger ages. The study found that consistent marijuana use gradually eroded cognitive functioning and IQ, and with the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado and Washington, it’s made an appearance in a number of articles arguing that legalized pot poses a serious health hazard. Today, though, a new study published in the very same journal—and using the very same data set—suggests that the case against marijuana is a…
A study just recently published has shown that low-dose, vaporized cannabis products, are effective in treating neuropathic pain. This is significant for a large number of people who suffer this condition. I suppose I should start with, what is neuropathic pain? Some conditions, diabetes and HIV amongst them, cause a kind of phantom pain in the body because of specific damage being done to the nervous system. To break it down to layman terms without spewing a whole lot of Latin phrases used in medicine, your nerves are like wires in an electrical circuit. There are signals travelling along those…
Under strict conditions severely ill Germans may be allowed to grow cannabis at home, the Supreme Administrative Court of Munster said in a judgment of 7 December 2012. The reasons have now been published. Patients for whom no other therapies are available or effective, but may have medicinal benefit from cannabis, can make an application to the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) in Bonn, so that they can treat themselves with their own grown cannabis, accompanied and monitored by their doctor. Previously, all such requests were refused by directive of the Federal Ministry of Health. This practice…
Variety is the spice of life, and that’s just one reason this mix of outstanding Indica strains is one of Sensi’s most popular selections. Unbeatable value is another good reason – Indoor Mix offers growers an assortment of the highest quality cannabis seeds at the lowest possible price.The 25 seeds in each pack are a random mix taken from the 20 mostly-Indica varieties on Sensi’s Indoor and Greenhouse seeds lists.

The Drug Equality Alliance has made multiple submissions to this inquiry from the outset; we have sought to demand a re-think about the errors of law within the terms of reference to the inquiry, but we have been almost entirely ignored (except footnote 27). The report thus fails to take note of these essential pervasive criticisms that subsumed the whole inquiry with various meaningless concepts. The failure of the HASC and key witnesses to address the proper issues, preferring to partake in the charade of debating the straw man argument about the merits of de-criminalisation / legalisation of drugs led…
This pure Indica seed-strain comes directly from the massive mountain range for which it is named. The Hindu Kush is the western spur of the Himalayas, covering half of Afghanistan and straddling the borders of Pakistan and India, reaching almost to China. This desolate and beautiful region forms an important trade-route between the Middle East, central Asia and the Far East and the ancient cannabis traditions of the surrounding cultures have met and merged here over centuries. Put simply, the Hindu Kush is the absolute centre of the world when considering true Indica or Afghanica genotypes and the various forms…
