Percy Harvin Is A Hero To The Cannabis Community

A Story Sent To Us for Sharing by Mitch Santell

​This story is yet another example of how Cannabis can provide a benefit to a person who chooses to use it.


Former NFL star Percy Harvin claimed he never played a game without smoking marijuana first.

Harvin played for multiple squads during his career, and starred on the Seahawks Super Bowl team with Russell Wilson and the legendary Legion of Boom. He famously housed the second half kickoff against the Broncos. Apparently, smoking weed was his way to relax for games.

“There’s not a game I played in that I wasn’t high,” Harvin told Master Tesfatsion in a video segment released Wednesday. He added that marijuana was the only thing that “seemed to work” when it came to battling his anxiety, despite being prescribed pills to help.

He also discussed the infamous Golden Tate fight before the Super Bowl, and discussed how they “locked up.”

Where Music Meets Weed

A Happy Reflection by Mitch Santell

When I saw this article I had to share this so check it out. Yes it is true! The Australian Capital has officially legalized recreational marijuana.

Why did I call this blog posting "Where Music Meets Weed?"

Answer: Now our Big Reggae Mix listeners in Australia can smoke out! Check out this story and enjoy the magic!

Picture

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia's capital has become the first part of the country to legalize recreational marijuana for personal use.

The Australian Capital Territory Legislative Assembly voted on Wednesday to legalize possession by adults of up to 50 grams (1.8 ounces) of dried marijuana and cultivation of two marijuana plants beginning Jan. 31.

The assembly is the local government of Canberra, the national capital with a population of 400,000.

The law requires that adults not use marijuana near children and to store it out of their reach. Owners cannot sell or supply their marijuana to anyone else. Households are limited to growing no more than four plants, regardless of the number of occupants.

Attorney General Gordon Ramsay said it was time to treat drug addiction as a health issue rather than an issue of "right and wrong."

The opposition voted against the legislation, arguing that the change would encourage more people to use marijuana and lead to more drug-induced psychosis.


Possession of small amounts of marijuana has been decriminalized throughout Australia, but the Australian Capital Territory is the first of Australia's eight states and territories to take the next step of legalizing possession and cultivation.

But marijuana users in Canberra will still face some legal uncertainty because possession of small amounts of marijuana remains illegal under federal law.
Chief Minister Andrew Barr said such prosecutions would require approval of federal prosecutors, who are "concerned with larger matters than the possession of a small amount of drug."

Federal prosecutors have declined to provide the government with advice on the likelihood of such prosecutions.

Barr said police charging Canberra marijuana smokers under federal law "would be outrageous," but the smokers could cite the territory law in their defense before a judge.

Australian Federal Police Chief Police Officer Ray Johnson said Canberra police had been advised to "focus on the traffickers," but that officers were free to enforce federal law.

Coming Out As A Cannabis User

Commentary About Cannabis by Mitch Santell, Producer / Co-founder Big Reggae Mix

Each of us has our own story as to how we discovered Cannabis or how it discovered us.

The first time I tried Cannabis, I was 35 years old. It was an enjoyable experience, and to this day, I am now 61 years of age, I still use it daily.

There has been an enormous shift in our culture because of Cannabis.

There is still a massive divide between Cannabis users and non-Cannabis users. There is nothing that is still as misunderstood as the green herb.

What are your reasons for using Cannabis? I can tell you mine. Ready? 

First, back in 2016, I cracked two of my ribs, and I was able to put Cannabis Cream on my two cracked ribs, and within 2 minutes, the pain was non-existent.

Second, if you have concerns about Dementia or Alzheimer’s, a single “puff” each day might help.

Third, don’t sell yourself short by not looking into some of the new strains grown every day. Which medical patients do you think have received the single most significant benefit? 

Cancer patients.

No, I am not a medical professional. I am a street smart music and radio producer who is willing to take responsibility and accountability for my health. How about you?

Do your research and take back your health now.

California Cannabis Producers Meet Tougher Standards in 2019

1/17/2019

Reflections On The Cannabis Movement by Mitch Santell

California has come a long way since I returned home from New Zealand in 2013.

In 2019, it feels like Cannabis and Marijuana related products are shifting into the mainstream.

A lot of what is driving the Cannabis movement here in my view is the medical uses. 

Countless videos have appeared on YouTube over the past five years. 

Here is a local story here in Orange County, California that provides a current overview here in 2019.

Picture

Tougher requirements for marijuana purity that kicked in this year in California aren’t triggering the high failure rates that emptied shelves at cannabis shops last summer, when the state began phasing in mandated testing.

The better results signal that the cannabis industry is stabilizing in its second year of regulated sales, despite a roller coaster first year that included one testing lab caught falsifying marijuana test results, industry officials and others said.


There’s still concern about what will happen once marijuana shops sell off products grandfathered in before the latest testing rules took effect. But with tests showing that California cannabis is now cleaner than most fruits and vegetables, experts are encouraged.

“The consumer is getting a better product,” said Matt Haskins, chief of Certus Analytics, a licensed testing lab in Murrieta.

Though California launched legal recreational marijuana sales on Jan. 1, 2018, retailers were allowed to sell untested product through mid-year, giving the industry time to ramp up for testing and sell out old inventories.

In July, when the first tests were required, just 80 percent of the cannabis was approved for sale. But as of Jan 11 — with new, tougher rules in place — the pass rate was up to 86.8 percent, according to the latest report from the Bureau of Cannabis Control.


“I think people are just more ready,” said Chris Hoo, an attorney with Emerald Law in Los Angeles, which specializes in testing compliance.
“If you didn’t survive the first round,” Hoo added, “you’re not here to complain about it now.”
​
In the first round of testing, more than two thirds of the cannabis that failed did so because the product didn’t match up with claims made on the label. Typically, suppliers were overstating the level of THC, the compound that makes users feel high. Other problems included pesticides, microbial impurities and residual solvents.

NORML Gives Calif Gov Gavin Newson A Rating

1/17/2019

0 Comments

 
California has aggressively lead America toward the full legalization of Cannabis.

It is nice to have our new Governor Gavin Newsom recognized as a leader in pushing Cannabis into the mainstream.

Picture

To kick off the 2019 state legislative season, NORML is pleased to release our 2019 Gubernatorial Scorecard. This extensive database assigns a letter grade ‘A’ through ‘F’ to states’ governors based upon their comments and voting records specific to matters of marijuana policy.

“Following the publication of our 2018 Scorecard, there has been a dramatic shift in opinion among elected officials in favor of marijuana policy reform,” NORML’s Political Director Justin Strekal said. “Never before have we seen so many governors go on record and pledge their support for legalizing the responsible use of cannabis by adults. As a result, we expect there to be unprecedented levels of legislative activity at the state level surrounding the need to regulate the commercial cannabis market in 2019 and in 2020.”


Key Findings
​

Twenty-seven US governors received a passing grade of ‘C’ or higher (22 Democrats, 5 Republicans)

Of these, nine US governors – all Democrats – received an ‘A’ grade; this marks a significant increase since 2018, when only two governors received ‘A’ grades.

They are:


Gavin Newsom: California
Jared Polis: Colorado
Ned Lamont: Connecticut
JB. Pritzker: Illinois
Gretchen Whitmer: Michigan
Tim Walz: Minnesota
Phil Murphy: New Jersey
Kate Brown: Oregon
Jay Inslee: Washington


The Takeaway

There exists now, for the first time, significant political support among US governors for marijuana policy reform. However, this support is more partisan than ever before. While almost half of all Democratic governors are now on record in support of adult use regulation, no Republican governors publicly advocate for this policy. This partisan divide is not similarly reflected among the general public. According to national polling data compiled by Gallup in October 2018, 66 percent of the public – including majorities of self-identified Democrats, Republicans, and Independents – favor legalization.

The results of the 2018 midterm elections also show that advocating for marijuana legalization is a successful campaign issue. Several newly elected governors – such as Ned Lamont of Connecticut, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois, and Tim Walz of Minnesota – actively campaigned on a pledge to legalize the commercial cannabis market, while two additional governors – Gavin Newsom of California and Jared Polis of Colorado – have prominent histories as marijuana law reform advocates. One governor, New York’s Andrew Cuomo, moved decidedly in favor of legalization during his re-election campaign.

This shift in political support among governors bodes well for the prospects of the passage of successful legislative reforms in various states in 2019 and beyond. While to date only one state – Vermont – has moved to legalize adult marijuana use via legislation (as opposed to the passage of voter initiatives), NORML anticipates that as many as four to five additional states (e.g., Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Illinois, and Rhode Island) may similarly do so in the near future.

The Reggae & Cannabis Link

Written by Mitch Santell
Producer / Co-founder

My personal journey as a producer to learn as much as I cold from Scott T. Brown, my partner and our program director has been an interesting one.

One of the simplest things about of all is the connection between Cannabis a.k.a. "The Herb" and Cannabis.

As I prepared out newest show @Stoner_Studio, it naturally brought out the researcher in me and here is what I discovered so read on.



For most fans of music, reggae and marijuana are inexplicably linked. That is, when people think reggae, they also think about laid-back, dredlocked musicians who puffed a mariijuana pipe in-between laying down rhythms. Even reggae music’s most legendary figure, Bob Marley, is known as much for his pro-weed sensibilities as he was for his socially conscious lyricism and rousing beats. But the all-important question remains: How did reggae and ganja become so interlinked?

A popular modern reggae artist named Lutan Fyah suggests that reggae was a way for the poor people of Jamaica to express their views and way of life, which is how weed became involved with the musical movement. He says: “The originators, the ones who pioneered reggae music, those were the ones that used the herb to gain enlightenment and inspiration.”

These oftentimes disenfranchised artists used the herb to help convey their message. Fyan continues, “If you check where this music is coming from and the time when it started out, you realise that it really came from the poor. They saw reggae music as a chance to say what they wanted to say and share their views and that’s how weed came up in reggae.”

Of course, reggae’s roots are firmly entrenched in the Rastafarian movement, which requires its adherents to not only consume, but also distribute, cannabis as a sacrament and herbal medicine.

Hempress Sativa, another popular reggae artist, uses marijuana to help meditate before creating her music. In essence, ganja enables her to properly pay homage to Rastafari, as well as help her music achieve the right groove and vibe.
