Price of Weed is a new site that aims to crowdsource the street value of marijuana. Users (double meaning!) can anonymously submit information on where they last bought pot, in what quantity, and what it cost. Judging from the Google map, on the homepage, it looks like Americans are paying a little under $400 for an ounce.
So what’s the street value of a site like this? Tough to say, though perhaps this sort of information-sharing is a harbinger of a time when pot is a legally traded commodity.

Tim Timmons once was a stalwart in the Church of Christ, a conservative Republican, a buttoned-down insurance executive with a busy life, a wife and three children. Slowly but surely, multiple sclerosis robbed him of that life.
Tim Timmons gets a light from his wife and caretaker, Lou-Ann, at theirGarland home. Timmons smokes marijuana at night to ease pain caused by multiple sclerosis.
Today, at age 54, Timmons is mostly bedridden and rarely sees the outside of his Garland home. What he lacks in physical ability, however, he more than makes up for with his ardent support for legalizing marijuana for seriously ill people.
In fact, he has become the poster boy for the medical marijuana movement in Texas. One organization has named a model law to set up a medical marijuana industry in Texas the Tim Timmons Compassionate Care Act. An Internet search quickly yields videos of Timmons smoking pot and daring politicians and cops to come arrest him.
At 54, Tim Timmons is mostly bedridden in his Garland home because of multiple sclerosis. Once a political conservative, Timmons now supports legalizing medical pot.
“I would love [Texas Gov.] Rick Perry to be the guy who arrests me,” he said. “It would cost the state of Texas $500,000 a year to take care of me in prison.”
Timmons and a small coterie of medical marijuana advocates are under no illusion that the Texas Legislature, which convenes in January, will join more than a dozen other states and pass a law legalizing pot use for chronically ill people.
But the issue is hot across the nation, appearing on at least three statewide ballots on Tuesday. In California, where medical marijuana already is legal, voters will consider a proposition to legalize recreational use. Ballots in South Dakota and Arizona feature propositions on legalizing marijuana for medical purposes.
“You know Texas and Oklahoma will be the last two states to do anything,” Timmons said.
He openly smokes pot for anyone who wants to watch. One toke from a handheld glass water pipe at bedtime, he insists, keeps painful muscle spasms at bay and leads to a good night’s sleep.
“Sometimes I start talking and forget what I’m saying, but who cares?” he said, joking about what he describes as the mild side effects of smoking pot.
Degenerative disease
Tim Timmons’ world has steadily shrunk since his diagnosis in 1987. Now, it consists mostly of his bedroom. He still has the manual dexterity to use a laptop and a telephone. So he is not completely disconnected from the outside world.
He lies on a hospital-type bed with an air mattress that automatically inflates and deflates. The varied pressure on his skin helps preventbedsores, which have ravaged his legs and hips. A motorized wheelchair sits on one side of the bed; a TV tray on the other side holds a cordless phone, a remote control for his flat-screen TV and a drink container.
Lou-Ann, his wife and caretaker, sleeps on a single bed next to him.
“He is the center of my life,” she said. “I just try and think of ways to make his life easier and more pleasant.”
Multiple sclerosis is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system. There is no cure. Doctors can only hope to slow the disease’s progression with various medicines and therapies. Painful spasticity of the leg muscles can be one of the worst aspects of living with MS.
The rectangular outline of a computerized device implanted in Timmons’ abdomen is visible just under the skin. The device is hooked to a catheter that delivers a muscle relaxant directly into his spinal fluid.
But the prescription medicines, which include an anti-depressant, are not enough to keep him comfortable. The peace and relaxation that comes with inhaling marijuana smoke is especially welcome at bedtime, he said.
“If I had nothing but marijuana, I would use much more of it,” he said. “But I take it in conjunction with my pharmaceuticals.”
Timmons keeps his marijuana in a glass jar – usually an ounce or less. He pays $350 an ounce, and he is purposely vague about where he gets it. Texas law classifies possession of 2 ounces or less as a Class B misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of 180 days in jail and a fine of not more than $2,000.
“I am totally against breaking the law,” Timmons said, “but who is it that’s forcing me to support organized crime?”
Far from hippies
Tim and Lou-Ann Timmons are not exactly pot-smoking hippies. Their children are grown and on their own. The lawn surrounding their middle-class brick home in a quiet Garland neighborhood is neatly manicured. Timmons’ parents live nearby.
“I talk to my mom every night,” he said.
Lou-Ann, a 64-year-old petite blonde with a round cherubic face, is not someone given to random lawbreaking. About her husband’s pot smoking, she said, “I saw what it did to help him with his spasticity and being able to sleep. And that’s it.”
Friends and family stream in and out of the house during the day, keeping the Timmonses company, helping with small chores and making sure they don’t want for anything.
Larry James, a former Church of Christ pastor and a longtime anti-poverty advocate, has known Timmons more than 20 years. James describes him with an unending string of superlatives: intelligent, witty, courageous, deep, grounded, hilarious.
“I don’t think he takes delight in upsetting people,” James said. “But he is very honest in what he believes.”
James said he has no opinion about whether Texas ought to legalize marijuana use for people such as Timmons.
“I trust Tim’s integrity,” he said. “He found in marijuana some medicine that gives him relief. Who am I to challenge that?”
Pat Carlson, president of the conservative Texas Eagle Forum, said she doesn’t advocate prosecuting chronically sick people trying to find relief. Even so, she and her organization strongly oppose changing Texas law to set up a system of pot production and distribution for chronically ill patients.
Some states such as California and Colorado license and tax “dispensaries,” storefront operations where sick people, who have obtained a recommendation from their doctor, go to buy the drug.
“If it is truly the wonder drug that everyone says, then it needs to go through the same government drug trials that every other drug has to go through to prove it is safe and effective,” Carlson said.
“But once you open the door, you see what some states like California will do – this proposition on the ballot Tuesday to legalize marijuana for recreational use.”
Obviously, Texas is not California.
State Rep. Elliott Naishtat, a liberal Democrat from Austin, said a full-fledged law setting up pot production and distribution “wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance” of passing the Legislature.
Naishtat favors a bill that doesn’t legalize anything. Instead, he wants a new law to provide an affirmative defense against prosecuting a chronically ill person.
Let’s say Timmons got arrested for pot possession. Under Naishtat’s proposal, he would prove to the court that he has multiple sclerosis and that a doctor has told him that marijuana might be an effective option to alleviate symptoms.
“I sincerely believe I’m right on this issue and I will continue to introduce it,” Naishtat said.
Carlson said the Texas Eagle Forum will have to analyze the bill’s specific language before passing judgment on it.
“You can’t send the message that it’s OK to use drugs,” she said.
Straight-A student
Timmons’ journey from evangelical Christian conservative to medical marijuana advocate began at Dallas Christian School in Mesquite, which is operated by members of Churches of Christ, a conservative protestant denomination.
In high school, Timmons was a straight-A student and president of the student council. He was active in speech and drama.
After high school graduation in 1974, he attended Abilene Christian University in West Texas. But he dropped out, got married and started his career. Soon after, he realized the need for a college degree. He enrolled in North Texas State University in Denton (now the University of North Texas) and received a degree in business.
Then, he began a career with Marsh & McLennan, an international company that provides insurance-related services to corporations and governmental entities.
In 1987, he was living in Garland and had two kids, with a third on the way. One night, he was playing softball and attempted to catch a fly ball. He missed, and the ball hit him in the head.
Then, he began losing his footing at work, stumbling and falling against walls.
“They thought I was coming to work drunk,” Timmons said.
But the real culprit behind the misjudged fly ball and the stumbling turned out to be multiple sclerosis. At 31, he got the diagnosis.
“I was in shock to the point where there can be nothing said. This is a dream and I’m gonna wake up,” he said.
Timmons worked for another 10 years and then retired early because of his disabilities. The multiple sclerosis got progressively worse.
By 2001, he was spending more time in his wheelchair, but he was still active and ready to take on a new project. So he organized a high school reunion. Back then, he could pull himself out of his wheelchair to stand and sing with his barbershop quartet. A former classmate showed up at the reunion with a half-ounce of marijuana in a gift bag. He gave it to Timmons, hoping it might help him better cope with his disease.
“I thought, ‘Wow!’ What a nice thing to do for me. The first thing I noticed was that it made me a little more introspective. And, for the first time, I didn’t have to fight my muscle spasms and I was able to fall asleep more easily.”
Today, Timmons is no longer attending the Church of Christ.
“My passion is for God and for every approach to God in the history of the world,” he said. “I follow the teachings of Jesus.”
And he’s ready to go to Austin next year and tell his story to lawmakers, the story of a political conservative who once was judgmental about other people and who now believes in the right of an individual to find comfort through smoking pot.
“For me,” he said, “my ultimate goal is to make anything I do the biggest show on earth.”

The Riverside County Planning Commission had endorsed new guidelines for Riverside medical marijuana dispensaries and cooperatives as an act of compassion for patients. A mixed reaction was discerned from Riverside medical marijuana advocates to the proposed guidelines that would require Riverside medical marijuana dispensaries to dispense products only to patients with state-issued medical marijuana identification cards.
So far, about 340 ID cards were issued to Riverside medical marijuana patients. It should be recalled that the Riverside County was the first county in Southern California to start taking applications for the card.
Lieutenant Steve Thetford of the Riverside County Sheriff’s office had encouraged the commission to require the cards in order to aid police enforcers in distinguishing between those in need of medical marijuana for medication and those who attempt to access the drug for recreational purposes. Thetford who is an assistant police chief in Palm Desert said that a Riverside medical marijuana dispensary has worked with law enforcement in making sure that only qualified and authorized patients obtain marijuana. Thetford had told the commissioners that, “I am not here to pose argument about how we in law enforcement are dealing with the vague laws.”
In 1996, California voters had approved medical marijuana use with the recommendation of a doctor through the Prop 215 despite the fact that federal laws do not acknowledge the medical use of marijuana. In 2003, California lawmakers had approved a voluntary medical marijuana identification program in an effort to aid patients avoid arrests and prosecutions by law enforcement officers. Such law had made it mandatory for counties to process applications for patients to secure their ID cards.
Ronal Naulls, Riverside medical marijuana clinic operator said the requirement of the county would hurt dispensary operators. Furthermore, Naulls said that most of his clients in his Riverside medical marijuana clinic come from the counties of San Diego and San Bernardino where Board of Supervisors have decided not to issue the ID cards.
The Riverside County Planning Commission had voted 4-0 favoring the recommendations. Simultaneously, the decision eases some restrictions that had been implemented by county staff members.
The commissioners had also agreed the selling of marijuana edibles at Riverside medical marijuana dispensaries with permission from the Health Department. Deputy Director of Public Health, Michael Osur said that issue of allowing marijuana edibles had not yet been resolved at state level. In agreement with medical marijuana advocates, the new regulations established by the commissioners prohibit patients from smoking or using the drug at Riverside medical marijuana dispensaries. However, on-site use of a vaporized form of marijuana was approved by the commission.
Judy Smith Scott, a Murrieta resident said that the Riverside County was disregarding the 1996 Compassionate Use Act or Proposition 215, which did not include retailers to open up storefront shops. She added that the conspicuousness of dispensaries would send wrong impressions to young people about marijuana’s legitimacy.

Six candidates for Governor of California are in the 2010 governor’s race until Election Day on November 2nd.
Which candidates for California governor are still standing, as of October 2010, to battle it out until the general election over the issues that California voters find most important?
Alphabetical List of California Candidates for Governor 2010:
Peace and Freedom Party. Gay socialist. LGBT rights activist. Anti-war protest organizer. Proposes $15/hour minimum wage, free college education, free health care, free abortions, same sex marriage, voting rights at age 16, giving vacant housing to the homeless, a sanctuary state, amnesty and rights for illegal immigrants.
CA: Let’s talk about the failed drug wars in this country. There is a related proposition on this November’s ballot, Proposition 19. What is your position on 19, and what do you think about the ongoing drug wars?
Alvarez: I am for the legalization of marijuana. I think people should stop ending up in prison for violating parole for smoking a joint. The war on drugs is a war on the poor. If you are talking about the health concerns, you know I rarely even hear them talking about the health concerns. What we hear about really is criminalization. We hear about how these people must be in jail, how these are criminals doing this, very gung-ho sort of language and you end up with the biggest prison population in the world. Instead of actually dealing with these issues as a health concern, which it could potentially be the case of drugs like heroin, for example—instead of treating it like a health concern, you treat them as criminals and you throw them in jail. What does that do for a person’s inability to cope with life or their inability to get off of heroin? That does not help. What that does is throws millions of people in prison and creates the sort of society that just funnels our people straight into prison, out of jobs and into further destitution.
Liberal standard bearer. California attorney general. Former Oakland mayor. Former California governor 1975-1983. 40-year career politician. Gun control advocate. Opposes marijuana legalization. Anti-Prop 8. Anti-Prop 23. Environmentalist who supports Global Warming Act (AB 32).
On legalizing marijuana: “I’m not going to jump on the legalization bandwagon. We’re going to get a vote of the people soon on that, but I’m not going to support it.”
Conservative. Former 25 year Republican. Constitutionalist. Businesswoman. Pro-military. Pro-farmer. Immigration reformer. Promotes lower taxes, part-time legislature, states’ rights, right to bear arms. Supports Prop 8. Supports AZ governor. Against amnesty. Promotes Prop 23. Will suspend Global Warming Act.
“This is seen most dramatically when the federal government ignores the will of California’s people and raids medical marijuana establishments confiscating property and imprisoning businessmen and women alike. As governor I will force the federal government to recognize our rights under the tenth amendment to govern ourselves as we Californians see fit. “
Calls for a permanent rollback of state spending to pre-1998 levels. Demands a part-time California State Legislature. Promotes radical state regulations reforms, bare-bones state government and numerous state cuts. Promotes open international borders and legalized heroin.
Do you believe in the legalization of marijuana and why?
Yes. I believe in the legalization of marijuana. The government does not have either the right nor the moral authority to prohibit what substances people put into their bodies for either medicinal or recreational or other purposes. Practically, the war on drugs has been a dismal failure. Just like prohibitions on alcohol, gambling, prostitution, etc., they do not work. They push the activity underground and create opportunities for the criminal element and, likewise, opportunities for the corruption of police and other public officials. Generally, such laws are enforced inconsistently and to the detriment of the most vulnerable individuals in society.
Financial systems developer. Supports tax structure changes and affordable access to health care for all. Proposes a state-controlled bank for California that partners with local banks and credit unions to invest in California’s infrastructure. Promotes statewide green energy program and water resources management restructuring.
We support reimbursement of health care costs for all residents, including costs of therapy to treat psychological damage, mental distress, and traumatic shock as well as the physical effects. California’s medical marijuana law should be fully recognized and implemented by all the appropriate local, state, and Federal jurisdictions. The Federal government must not interfere with or downgrade duly enacted California laws on health care or environmental protections that have health impacts.
Former businesswoman, billionaire. Fiscal moderate, social liberal. $140,000,000.00 spent on getting $174,000 governor’s salary. Seeks tax cuts for wealthy. Opposes immigration law. Anti-Prop 23. Proponent of Global Warming Act, which she has invested capital into and expects a huge financial return from.

George Soros was born August 12, 1930, as Schwartz György, is a Hungarian-American currency speculator, stock investor, businessman, philanthropist, and social activist. He became known as “the Man Who Broke the Bank of England” after he made a reported $1 billion during the 1992 Black Wednesday UK currency crises. Soros had correctly anticipated that the British government would have to devalue the pound sterling.
Soros is Chairman of the Soros Fund Management and the Open Society Institute and a former member of the Board of Directors of theCouncil on Foreign Relations. He played a significant role in the peaceful transition from Communism to Capitalism in Hungary (1984–89)and provided Europe’s largest-ever higher education endowment to Central European University in Budapest. Later, his funding and organization of Georgia’s Rose Revolution was considered by Russian and Western observers to have been crucial to its success. In theUnited States, he is known for donating large sums of money in an effort to defeat President George W. Bush’s bid for re-election in 2004. He was an initial donor to the Center for American Progress, and he continues to support the organization through the Open Society Foundations. The Open Society Institute has active programs in more than 60 countries around the world with total expenditures currently averaging approximately $600 million a year.
Billionaire financier George Soros on Tuesday donated $1 million to support Proposition 19, the California ballot initiative to legalize, tax and regulate recreational cannabis use.
George Soros: “Police could focus on serious crime instead”
The cash from Soros, a longtime supporter of marijuana law reform, should allow a much more intense media blitz in the final week before Election Day.
Prop 19, which has had some trouble raising money, had only just rolled out its first television ad in the Los Angeles area on Monday, eight days before the election, reports Josh Richman of the Oakland Tribune.

The Prop 19 campaign put out a crazy new poll late on Friday - it shows that up to 73% of young voters support Prop 19! Turning out young voters is the best, if not the only, way to pass Prop 19.
We’re organizing a Prop 19 Day of Action for Saturday. Our goal: call thousands of young voters and identify supporters for Prop 19.
This Saturday is the perfect day to reach young voters in California - it’s the day of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s big rally in DC. More than any other day, it’s when young people will be fired up and paying attention.
Calling young people is a sure-fire way to turn out voters most likely to support Prop 19 and help legalize marijuana. Plus, it’s super easy and fun to call right from your home.
We’ve already made more than 12,000 calls to young voters - that’s amazing! But with just 8 days left before the election, we need to at least double that number.

Rocker Melissa Etheridge, actor Danny Glover and comedian Hal Sparks came together Thursday with a former LAPD Deputy and former Governor of New Mexico to back Proposition 19, the California initiative that would legalize marijuana.
This unlikely room of supporters joined forces at Cafe Was in Hollywood, to announce their support for Proposition 19, a ballot measure that would allow adults 21 and over to grow and possess marijuana, and allow cities and counties to approve, growing, sales and taxing of pot.
Etheridge became a marijuana advocate after a cancer diagnosis forced her to undergo chemotherapy and was faced with drugs that had their own side effects from the brutal treatment, so she decided on a “natural solution.”
Glover called marijuana criminalization “draconian” and former city officials, Deputy Chief Steve Downing and Mayor Gary Johnson, say the majority of of pot users are White, yet, Blacks and Mexicans are the largest number arrested and incarcerated.
The news conference was called to promote BuddhaFest, a 10 stage entertainment festival downtown at Center Studios.

This country could become not only one of the few countries manufacturing marijuana-based medicines but also a key world pioneer in the field.
The standard image of cannabis is twofold. First is the one presented in the West’s films and pop subculture. Cannabis, also known as marijuana and “grass,” has been famous for centuries as a psychoactive, dreamy substance which, at the same time, is illegal in most countries and attracts a penalty if the user is caught.
The second attitude is one of recreational use in places like the Netherlands, where cannabis is openly ingested in the infamous cafes, with a denial that it is any more harmful than alcohol.
INNOVATIVE ISRAEL has taken a third path and put the nefarious weed into its proper place by recognizing it as medicine. And like all medicine, it has the potential for misuse. In any case, the use of cannabis derivatives as medicine is causing a small, silent revolution among hippies, squares and Dutch cafe users alike.
What is apparent, from much of the recent research, is that Cannabis sativa (the plant) has many properties that, administered correctly, offer a multitude of remedial benefits. In taking this forward, Israel is placing itself leaps ahead of worldwide competition, both scientifically now and commercially in the future.
Israel is one of the first countries to have permitted the use of medical marijuana. Tel Aviv’s cannabis clinics have been open for some time on an experimental basis, with government support.
They offer treatment for cancer, multiple sclerosis, HIV, colitis and other ailments. Recently too, Israel’s first-ever hospital to offer cannabis as a treatment, Sheba Medical Center in Tel Hashomer, started its pilot program. There patients obtain the necessary government permit, according to a strict protocol that the hospital developed, and then are provided with cannabis.
Soon smoking will be replaced with machines which vaporize the marijuana compound so they can inhale it with steam.
Cannabis for medical purposes is supplied by a Health Ministry approved, charitable company in Safed called Tikkun Olam, aptly named after the kabbalistic concept of restoring the world. Bags of neatly wrapped cannabis cigarettes from the company are distributed to licensed patients from various locations. The process is carefully controlled and monitored by the government under the watchful eye of Dr. Yehuda Baruch, director-general of Abarbanel Mental Health Center.
Medical cannabis guru Prof. Raphael Mechoulam of Hebrew University in Jerusalem famously pioneered research in 1964 to isolate tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the main active ingredient in cannabis, which he was able to synthesize.
In 1993, he and his research team discovered another compound called anandamide, which occurs naturally in the brain and acts in a similar way to THC. Recent research has found this to link to neonatal appetite stimulation in the womb.
Now Mechoulam uses cannabis provided by the police to create different chemical compounds that may be useful in treatment.
The benefits of cannabis as medicine lie in reducing pain, increasing appetite, modulating mood and various positive effects on the nervous system, as identified with sufferers of multiple sclerosis.
The uses are wide and the potential benefit is huge, but what are the risks? THE CASE against cannabis is wholly based on harm-related research and legality. The first, most obvious, risk is crime. Security on cannabis clinics is high (no pun intended). Recently, reports suggested that there was a “cannabis drought” in the Middle East. When illegal cannabis does arrive in Israel, most of it is courtesy of Egypt, Lebanon and Jordan.
The likely consequence, if there is indeed a drought, is a growing black market. The potential for sale of medical cannabis in such a market might prove too tempting for some. Criminal raids on legitimate cannabis providers may become an issue. Misuse and addiction are other issues. Usually, cannabis treatments are given in low doses to those with a significant health problem where other treatments may no longer be effective. Whatever happens, these factors will require careful monitoring.
