North Korea... What do you know about it? Me, not much. Communism - When the Chief dies, everybody is in panic for weeks in a row - Political prison camps - Neighbors of South Korea - And lately I read that the North Korean government is putting signs up everywhere with the message ‘Any drug users will face a firing squad should they be caught'. That's it, that's all I know. Well, that's easy, I just don't even wanna know more about North Korea. But check this! Cannabis is reportedly neither classified illegal or in any way policed! It's not even considered a drug... Lots of North Koreans are even smoking weed as a substitute for cigarettes that simply do more damage than good. Is North Korea seriously a weed-smoker's paradise? Surprising... Yo, big daddy Kim Jong-un, skip that commy stuff, fix those Human Rights over there and I will be happy to learn all you guys how to roll a proper joint.

Finally! A Drug Policy Commission that thinks straight. In the UK an independent advisory committee has advised the government to focus on damage limitation rather than the banning of drugs. They have compared taking drugs to eating junk food and gambling. As eating junk food can be more damaging than smoking a joint, it is a logical thought of course, but it’s nice to see that some officials think the same. Eating filthy hamburgers is not a crime right? So why would smoking a joint be?

Well, if you need a transplant that is. Norman Smith has cancer and has been using medical marijuana. Doctors told him he has about 90 days to live if nothing will be done. He has one chance though; a liver transplant. But he's not gonna get it because of his marijuana use. Unbelievable. Who's responsible? These fuckers.

Marc Emery, the Canadian marijuana activist who's in a US prison right now, receives many letters from aspiring activists. Many of those letters have the same question: "I want to do something to make a difference. I want to legalize marijuana. What can I do? Can you advise or help me start? Where do I begin?" Well, check out Marc's advise.
