I am in love with this beautiful HBG inline bong!  So easy to clean, and packs a real punch!  This is made of thick, high quality glass (I want to say Schott Duran like the other great pieces) – made in America – “CALI CERTIFIED”!   I paid less for this piece as I got a deal, but you can find similar inlines of this brand at local headshops or online for probably around $250.  I take a few big puffs with this, but must say I love using this mostly with my KO Titanium Domeless nail.  Either way, it’s a great piece that is easy to clean and very sturdy and will last you a long time!  That is, if you’re not a bong murderer

Here is part one of “The Science and Politics of Marijuana” – part of a series of talks from the MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) 25th Anniversary conference back in 2011.  All 7 parts can be found on YouTube through the video below.  Videos feature Donald Abrams MD, Lyle Craker PhD, Sue Sisley MD, Martin Lee, Clint Werner, Fred Gardner, Amanda Reiman PhD MSW, Dale Gieringer PhD, Debby Goldsberry, & Steph Sherer and is moderated by Allen Hopper JD (ACLU of Northern California).

The discussions you’ll hear in the videos go into detail on the topic of the science and politics of marijuana – what has been researched and discovered, and how politics is affecting the information from being released or used properly.  Over 10 years ago, an important government study was released regarding a few specific patients’ use of marijuana as recommended by their doctors. The Institute of Medicine, a branch of the National Academy of Sciences, issued what was then the most comprehensive analysis of the scientific and medical literature about cannabis, and it stated, “The accumulated data indicate a potential therapeutic value for cannabinoid drugs, particularly for symptoms such as pain relief, control of nausea and vomiting, and appetite stimulation.”  A vast number of doctors and other medical professionals continue to caution about harms that may result from smoking marijuana, though these need to be weighed against the other harms that patients could be facing. In the political realm, the debate over the legal status of medical marijuana continues on.  The videos run about 339 minutes in total – check them out at your leisure!

Hey, it’s Linda here! I know I have been slow on getting reviews done, mostly as I have been slow in acquiring new pieces. I wanted to at least make a video to say hello and give you all an update as to what’s been going on here lately.

I believe I mentioned the Cannabis Cup but forgot to mention the Medical Cannabis Cup here in the Bay Area in June – if you’re around, you should make plans to attend!

Either way, check out the video and don’t forget to head over to my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/itsweedandbombs) for my most updated posts

I love my Incredibowl i420, and someone recently asked about mine and I realized the old review I did for the Incredibowl i420 was hosted on a site that no longer exists, so I thought I’d share it with you again!

This is one of my very first reviews – as you can see my hair grew a lot and I lost some weight since then
I still absolutely LOVE my Incredibowl – it still packs a punch, still easy to clean and use, and is just.. well, phenomenal! I still use my mini (the m420) as well. Great pipes!

Marylanders caught with marijuana may soon face a small fine instead of time behind bars.

The Maryland Senate voted in favor of a bill to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana on Tuesday.

On a bipartisan vote of 30-16, the Senate approved legislation that makes possession of up to 10 grams of marijuana a civil offense, subject to the maximum penalty of a $100 fine, according to the Capital Gazette. Laws currently on the books for a such a possession invokes a maximum penalty of $500 and 90 days in prison.

If the bill becomes law, Maryland would join a growing number of states that are enacting more lax marijuana laws, including Colorado and Washington state, where voters chose to legalize marijuana on ballot referendums in 2012.

The sponsor of the bill, State Sen. Robert A. Zirkin (D-Baltimore County), said that the law was needed in order to avoid overspending on charging individuals with possession of small amounts of marijuana.

“It is a tremendous waste of resources,” Zirkin said, according to the Baltimore Sun.

According to State Sen. Allan Kittleman (R-Howard and Carroll), a co-sponsor of the bill, police made around “47,000 arrests” related to marijuana possession in the state last year.

Hey all! This video showcases a neat little boro glass portable vaporizer called the Vaponic. I got this vaporizer from a company in Spain that designs a few different, interesting vaporizers. It has a patented double air-stream vaporizing system based on heat convection and conduction which provides, cool, strong, and delicious vapor. I forgot to mention in the video that the vapor that came out was actually cool, not hot! This is a great little device for those that like to use a torch or prefer to use glass to vaporize.

In another study conducted on teen marijuana use, evidence shows no physical effects on brain tissue.  This is just one of many studies coming out that have been continuously hacking away at the myths spread over decades by the government’s various anti-drug organizations and task forces.   Although marijuana should not be smoked by teenagers, as it does have some effect on slowing development, it is a much safer substance to use than tobacco or alcohol, both of with are legal and readily available.

Here is “The History of Marijuana” – a documentary as seen on the History Channel.  I am not sure if I’ve posted this already, but this is a fantastic documentary that I’ve watched a few times now – something great to show anyone you know who may not have all of the right information regarding marijuana!

This doc is about an hour and a half long and here on YouTube in its entirety.  I like this one as it features celebrities chiming in, giving a better look into how most people really use marijuana.

Also, for other documentaries and great videos on cannabis and the history of marijuana, feel free to browse through my page as I have tons of videos!

Marijuana is now legal in the state of Washington!  Here’s a short news clip from CNN from December 6th covering the now legal status of the sadly controversial plant.  Washington voters passed legislation that legalized the possession of an ounce of cannabis under state law.

We’ve yet to see how the feds are going to act on this.  All we know for sure is that you can possess it – but you can’t buy it – something that will hopefully be worked out soon!

The second video in this post is another CNN news clip covering the multi-billion dollar potential of the cannabis industry once legalized.  Precedents are going to be set that will determine the course of marijuana for the rest of history.
