The United States Weed Channel, Inc. today announced the launch of a special video channel that provides educational and entertainment programming strictly based around cannabis content. The channel, now available on Roku is also being prepped for distribution on Amazon, Apple, Google and other streaming networks.
The U.S. Weed Channel (USWC) is the brainchild of entrepreneur and activist Shane Doull, who was arrested twice and forced to close down his medical cannabis dispensary and face California’s Superior Court system. “I did everything correctly–to the letter of the law and still was arrested,” states Doull. “When law enforcement can’t get it right, it sends the wrong signal to the general public. I felt it was important to have an outlet to inform the American public about everything related to marijuana.”
Twenty states and the District of Columbia already have legalized medical or recreational marijuana. (Missouri legislators have approved a limited bill to allow the use of hemp extract to treat some people with epilepsy; it is awaiting Gov. Jay Nixon’s signature.) Several states – including Florida (medicinal), New York (medicinal) and California (recreational) – are considering some form of legalization. Poll after poll reveal a march toward legalization, with a recent CNN national survey showing 55 percent of all Americans now favor it, compared to just 16 percent some 25 years ago.
USWC’s series of free programs keeps the adult viewer up-to-date with information related to the legalization of marijuana, provides factual knowledge in an educational format, safety tips, newscasts, medical updates and insightfully analyzes recent social acceptance. The channel also provides a lighter look at marijuana activity as well, with shows such as the “420 Honeys Gameshow”, “Happy Farmers”, “Comfort Cannabis Cookery” and even a “Chill Channel” where you can just watch the grass grow, literally.
USWC is advertiser and viewer-donation supported, thus free to the general public. However, viewers are encouraged to join the the ‘Be A Bud Club’ where members can receive prizes, free products from supporting advertisers, gain access to live events before other viewers and other benefits.
BuyCBDOnline.co, one of the Internet’s leading retailer of CBD-rich Hemp Oil infused products, is pleased to announce that it is now able to offer several new and innovative products to this young and growing market.
“The market is demanding the comeback of hemp based products to shelves across America,” site founder Jason Liss says. “In the world of nutrition, hemp is a rock star. This is enhanced by the fact that consumers are looking for nutrient dense and organic choices in their lives. Hemp will fill that void, as it has the perfect ratio of omega fatty acids, and contains all of the essential amino acids necessary for your body to thrive. With the constant media coverage of cannabidiol (CBD), as well as legislation being enacted across the country that is focused on CBD, I feel that we are poised to provide to consumers exactly what they are looking for: innovative, healthy, and easy to use options to introduce hemp-based cannabinoids into the body on a daily basis.”
New CBD Product Coming To Market
“We are pleased to announce that we are now carrying Java Joe’s Hemp Coffee, made with a proprietary blend of organically grown Jamaican Blue Mountain Ground Coffee, hemp seeds, and CBD rich hemp oil,” continues Liss. “These products signify the commitment we are making to providing tasty, simple ways to incorporate naturally occurring hemp-based cannabinoids, like CBD, into cannabinoid-starved bodies worldwide.”
Grown in the world renowned region known as the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, this coffee creates an incredible cup of ‘Joe’ with each and every brew. These highly revered beans are characterized by its sweet, mellow, lingering finish, with a delicate balance of floral aroma, acidity and full body. It is for these reasons that Java Joe’s utilized organically grown Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans to create the first ever CBD Rich Hemp Oil infused coffee.

Footage archived by the Campaign for the Restoration and Regulation of Hemp (CRRH).
A new era known as “The Green Rush” has arrived in the United States as prohibition has ended for marijuana (also know as weed, cannabis or pot). With the booming multi-million dollar marijuana industry in the United States, countless information sources are releasing marijuana-related news stories, opinions and features on a daily basis. The newest source is USMedicalMarijuana.net which aims to be a reliable source of medical marijuana news and information for people all over the US and around the world.
To date, more than 20 states across the country, as well as in the District of Columbia have ended the prohibition of marijuana for medical purposes. In Colorado and Washington, marijuana has been legalized for both medical use and responsible adult use. At the moment, many other states have some form of marijuana legislation in the books.
November 2013 was a historic month for the US and the world as two states, Colorado and Washington, finally legalized the recreational use of marijuana. The legalization of recreational cannabis in Colorado and Washington thus created a tipping point, and this is very much apparent in the economic changes that have resulted. In Colorado alone, marijuana made $ 1 million in sales on its first day. Washington State, which opened marijuana retail in June, is expected to do the same. Across the country, marijuana and hemp stocks dramatically rose at the start of 2014, following the two states’ legal conversion.
With the latest developments in terms of the legalization of medical marijuana, it is only natural that money has flowed into the industry. As the cannabis industry expands in size and reach, more sectors are getting involved. Firms are recognizing various opportunities along the chain, and have started to participate.
Companies have formed (and continue to form) that not only handle the plant or its product, but also to those that support them. These assisting firms are ancillary businesses, and they include insurance providers, security companies, consultants, and makers of complementary products such as vaporizers.
Also laws will continue to be rewritten over the next few weeks, months and years as the federal and state government figure out the best ways to deal with issues that arise from legalization.
USMedicalMarijuana.net will comb through the numerous materials on the marijuana industry and culture available both online and offline, and will make things more convenient for site visitors by publishing information that is both high quality and relevant.
The site strives to be a trustworthy source of information for individuals interested in the rapidly budding medical marijuana industry in North America. The website contains up-to-date news, as well as essential data and facts for individuals who wish to stay up to date on the latest that is going in this fast paced industry.
It is time to recognize the sweeping changes going in across the United States, as laws on cannabis use will continue to be rewritten over the next few years.
The group behind USMedicalMarijuana.net also owns a portfolio of cannabis related websites including http://www.potgrowing.net (legal pot growing technology & news) ,

The issue of breed-banning has stirred quite the controversy over the last few years, with concerned citizens and dog owners fighting it out over which direction to take such litigation. Seattle has informally considered banning some dangerous breeds such as pitbulls, but has yet to address the issue formally due to lack of consensus among city councilmen. The question is whether breed-ban laws have any appreciable effect on the reduction of attacks against humans. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), the answer is no. This organization relies on a 2003 study that addressed the effectiveness of a pit bull ban passed by Prince Georges County, Maryland. The ban forced the county to spend more than $ 250,000 each year to enforce the law. But the study concluded that “public safety is not improved as a result of [the ban]” and that “there is no transgression committed by owner or animal that is not covered another non-breed specific portion of the [County’s code] (e.g., vicious animal, nuisance animal, leash laws).” The study recommended that the breed-ban law be repealed.
ASPCA also points to a study by the United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) which did not support breed specific legislation because of several problems associated with this type of law, including the inaccuracy of dog bite data and the difficulty of identifying dog breeds (especially mixed breeds). The CDC also was concerned that the breed ban laws would merely encourage irresponsible dog owners to turn to other breeds in an attempt to make the non-regulated breeds more aggressive and dangerous to human beings.
ASPCA also argues that breed-ban laws actually help to compromise rather than enhance public safety. ASPCA states that when scarce animal control resources are used to regulate specific breeds without regard to behavior the focus is shifted away from routine, effective enforcement of laws that have the best chance of making communities safer: license laws, leash laws, animal fighting laws, and laws that require all pet owners to control their dogs regardless of breeds.
On the other side of the debate is the newspaper publication Animal People www.animalpeoplenews.org, which writes that certain breeds are statistically much more responsible for attacks upon people (e.g., pit bulls and their mixes can account for nearly three-fourths of all attacks). It further asserts that the harm inflicted upon a human being by a dog may be irreparable and no amount of punishment can undo the damage. Thus, breed specific legislation can prevent the most gruesome and extreme injuries and attacks by prohibiting possession of those high-risk dogs that are more likely to cause them. The essence of breed specific laws, Animal People argues, is that they better protect public safety from dangerous dogs then by relying on the uncertain deterrent effect of punishment after-the-fact.
Central to the argument that certain breeds should be banned, according to Animal People, is that those uniquely dangerous breeds like pit bull mixes and Rottweilers often tend to attack without the series of warnings that most other dogs provide first, and then often inflict immediate and severe injuries, whereas most other breed-types will inflict disabling, disfiguring, or fatal injuries only in sustained attacks or pack attacks. Thus, the breed-specific law will help to prevent if not eliminate those types of severe attacks that often come without any advance warning. Essentially, with certain breeds Animal People argues that it is much better to be safe than sorry after a gruesome attack has occurred.
Seattle dog bite lawyer Christopher Davis represents dog bite attack victims who have suffered serious injuries, rabies, puncture wounds and scarring, emotional trauma and wrongful death as a result of the attack. As a resource for victims of any dog bites or animal attacks, Chris Davis wrote the book “When the Dog Bites” to provide legal advice for those in need.

A door was opened some time ago that ushered forth a new era in government intervention into people’s life style choices and social well being. This trend was started as much by small special interest groups as it was politicians, but once the system found a formula that worked, they prepared themselves to drive a freight train in through the crack in the door.
What I am referring to is the continuing stream of new and evolving laws that are being built around legally forcing people to make life style choices that are being put forward as essential for the well being of individuals and society. By legislating these “essentials,” people are rapidly being driven toward having government dictating who, what, where, when, why, and how we are allowed live, at the penalty of law if circumstances do not allow us to see life the government way. All this subterfuge is being passed off as appealing to activities that are better ruled by common sense than legislation, but as the swelling invasion of rules and regulations grow, common sense will give way to controlling choices people are allowed to make on their own.
This article is intended to identify some of these areas that already exist, and outline where these trends could well be going for the future. Though every one of these laws has a positive side to its presentation, the fact that legal penalties are associated with non-compliance and restriction of the freedom to choose is the unacceptable consequence of bringing these ideas to the legal front. My label for these laws falls under the “for your own good” umbrella.
Examples of this type of legislation include wearing seat belts while driving automobiles, liquor laws, smoking restrictions, legal requirements to carry vehicle insurance, abortion laws, environmental legislation, taxes, and other forms of legislation that are designed not only to protect people from their own lack of common sense, but also add costs to every day living with or without being penalized for not complying with these regulations. Instead of penalizing people with the consequences of making wrong choices, our society is shaping itself around benefiting the special interests of some industries and penalizing individuals and other industries with non-elective costs that are being mandated by the government to meet legal requirements.
One of the more disturbing illustrations of how these types of laws can get out of hand relate to smoking. Since it is legal for adults to buy “harmful” tobacco products, and the tobacco industry has its own powerful lobbyist groups, the government has turned its power toward penalizing the individuals who use these products rather than the companies that manufacture them. Though it is legal to buy tobacco products, legislators are narrowing the number of places and circumstances where tobacco can be used, and adding heavy tax penalties to consumers on top of the purchase price.
Non-smokers may well be applauding these efforts, but they are not so happy when the government is allowed to dictate how much insurance they are required to have on their purchase of automobiles and personal property, and the taxes they are required to pay for using too much gasoline at the fuel pump. People are also not so happy about the government dictating where and how their children are allowed to receive an education.
For every legal mandate of how and where we are allowed to live out our lives, there are monetary costs associated with doing as we are told, and for not doing as we are told by the government. Every aspect of life that falls under legal jurisdiction carries more weight in what it costs to live in our country. By legalizing our lives rather than relying on individual choices and common sense agreements, it is the legislators and not the people who choose how we are allowed to live, and how much that control will cost. Regardless of your views on the current legal trends, this regulation of individual choices is likely to continue to escalate going forward.
When the government has succeeded in gaining absolute control over issues like alcohol, tobacco, education, fuel consumption, energy, and housing, the next loss of our freedom to choose our own life styles will come in areas of income, obesity, exercise, communication, diet, health care and recreation to a degree that is more intense than the current levels of government intervention. Abortion laws already regulate who is allowed to live and die from the ranks of the unborn, and it is only a small step to extend those controls to the elderly, the sick, the disabled, the handicapped, the disadvantaged or the poor.
Government is most beneficial in providing a means for resolving disputes between people in a society, and not in mandating the every day activities of people’s lifestyles. Providing social services should not extend to forcing people to conform to a government play book for how people should live to qualify for these programs. In judging what laws should be enacted for the good of society in general, one must count the cost these laws extract from the individual freedoms and income these laws will require from us. The question you must ask yourself is whether or not the government is truly acting to benefit you for your own good, or controlling aspects of your life that are better left to your own choices. Speak for yourself while it is still allowed for you to do so.
