Americans For Safe Access / ASA is an immense resource that I highly suggest to all readers, young to seasoned academics, to explore and absorb the immense archive of information they have to offer.

You can expect to find a vast spectrum of topics including: Medical, Legal, News, Publications, how to become an active in spreading information where it has been supressed for decades. The time to inform ourselves and educate the community has come.

I urge cannabis users, non-users, parents, industry professionals and advocates to unite our voice and sustain the freedom of information as it is intended to be. Let's teach the world about cannabis and learn about this magnificent plant, together. Please bookmark the ASA, it's truly a treasure trove of information and great resources!

Vaporizing the Cannabis Stigma: Turning "NO Cannabis" to "PRO-CANNABIS"

Image
The Stigma is Real For decades, the world has witnessed the proverbial 'throwing under the bus' that cannabis has endured. Although we have seen so much reform and progress around the globe, there are still countries like Malaysia where possession or sales of cannabis can result in the death penalty.

I'm not speaking on this topic to talk down to anyone, but rather elevate the plant that many of us agree is incredible and beneficial. Cannabis has taken on a bad name since the early 1900s. "Marijuana" or "Marihuana" as some archaic laws still, to this day, have it titled, is a word laced with some nasty shit!
