			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hey guys I just wanted to post some pics of my grow room I just got done with... This is the first &quot;Grow Room&quot; i have built. I have had a few feeble attempts in a cabinet. What do you guys think? Anything I should change or do differently?  I am using 6 CFL bulbs with actual wattage at 158 producing 3150 lumens.... I currently have 2 computer fans hooked up with plans of adding 2 exhaust fans. Also i am using a 21/7/14 mix as a grow medium (it was all they had at home depot in the winter).</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I am thinking about getting some BlackJack seeds from Nirvana. Has anybody tried to grow or smoke this strain? I have only grown once and am looking for something fairly easy to grow but something I will be very satisfied with. I thought of going with Northern Lights but want a Hybrid. If you have not grown BlackJack what would you recommend for a beginner grower?</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>No pic sorry :(<br />
Plants have 6 nodes, on the top new growth, some of the new leaves have brown holes in them the size of rice with yellow trim around holes. At first I thought heat stress/burn, but I have a 2'x4' 8 bulb T5 light 12&quot; above them. Burn? really? How far should the light be? Am I underestimating the heat of T5's?<br />
Thankx for any info :)</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hey guys, been away for a while.<br />
So I've been on a smoking hiatus since about Feb or so... finally got my school stuff straightened out, I'm about to take my ACT (I'll let you know how that goes) and then start college this spring. So I decided to celebrate my progress by giving my guy a call. He said he had some bomb ass creeper, I picked up a dub last night.<br />
I got home, unwrapped that little nugget, cupped it in my hand and took a whiff of that beautiful bud in all its glory, you know, that orgasmic smell... I knew I was back. After I finished my basking, I sat it in the floor...<br />
Now since it's been so long since I've hung with Mary, I knew that my tolerance was basically reset so I decided to break out the bong, take it to the bathroom and &quot;pack&quot; it with the tiniest amount of weed you can imagine.. I mean look:  OO    &lt;&lt;&lt;See those to capital O's on your screen? Actual size of the amount of weed I smoked. I was trying to ease into it, you know? Now, having smoked that, I waited a few minutes to come up. After seeing that I had only a slight buzz, I assumed it was safe to smoke way more. Went back to the bathroom, the weed is gone. WTF!?! Where did it go? I searched every nook and cranny, gave up, turned around and...<br />
There he is. That little yapping ass poodle. He at my weed. Not a piece, not a part, all of it. Sonuvvvah bitch... I checked his breath, dank as hell. I love animals so I didn't beat him of course, or even discipline him (what's the point? What kind of message would I be sending him anyway? That it's not okay to eat?) <br />
He's not my dog, I've just been taking care of him for a few weeks for my mom. I swear dude, this is the lamest dog ever. He doesn't play or anything, all he does is bark non-stop and force you to scratch his ears constantly or he'll bark louder. It sucked so bad dude, it was some of the best weed I've ever bought and I didn't even get to get high once...<br />
<br />
Oh well, I'll call my guy in a few weeks (and NEVER mention this or I'll never hear the end of it) and pick up another bag. I tend to optimistic, so now I'm just keeping in mind that it will be that much sweeter when I finally do get stoned.<br />
<br />
So the point of this post is to vent and if any of you have ever had your stash consumed by a pet. Anyone?<br />
<br />
(BTW if any of you were worried, he's fine. As you probably know, weed is totally inert if eaten straight up; you have to cook into fat.)</div>

<img src="http://norml.org/images/blog/NORML_Remember_Prohibition.jpg" border="0" alt="" class="resizeimage" onload="resize_image(this, 'http://norml.org/images/blog/NORML_Remember_Prohibition.jpg', 599);" />Last January I <a href="http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle_blog/2009/jan/14/marijuana_law_reform_no_longer_a" target="_blank">proclaimed</a> in the <i>The Hill</i>&#8217;s Congress blog: <b>&#8220;Marijuana law reform is no longer a political liability; it&#8217;s a political opportunity.&#8221;</b> Ten months later it appears that an unprecedented number of state-elected officials are heeding the message. Here&#8217;s just a sample.<br />
<br />
<b>COLORADO:</b> Last week the Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_13785115" target="_blank">recommended</a> legislators to substantially reduce marijuana penalties so that the <i><b>possession of up to four ounces of pot would classified as a petty offense</b></i>. Offenses involving greater amounts of cannabis (up to 16 ounces) would be reduced to a misdemeanor. State Attorney General John Suthers <a href="http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_13785115" target="_blank">told</a> the <i>Denver Post</i> that he supports the Commission&#8217;s recommendations which, if enacted, would make Colorado&#8217;s pot possession laws among the most lenient in the nation.<br />
<br />
<b>RHODE ISLAND:</b> A special nine-member Senate panel <a href="http://www.abc6.com/news/headlines/70456252.html" target="_blank">met</a> for the first time this week to debate <a href="http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/592/rhode_island_marijuana_commission_legalization_prohibition" target="_blank">revising the state&#8217;s criminal marijuana policies</a>. The panel&#8217;s chair, Democrat Sen. Joshua Miller, said that the task-force will primarily focus on the subject of decriminalization, but that members will also likely <b>debate the merits of taxing a regulating the adult use of cannabis</b>. The panel&#8217;s recommendations to the legislature are due on January 10, 2010. In 2009, Rhode Island&#8217;s legislature became only the second to <a href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=13382391" target="_blank">approve legislation </a>licensing the establishment of medical cannabis dispensaries.<br />
<br />
<b>WISCONSIN:</b> Democrat Gov. Jim Doyle recently <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/news/statepolitics/70225322.html" target="_blank">announced</a> his support for <a href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=14115736" target="_blank">legislation</a> that seeks to make Wisconsin the fourteenth state to allow for the legal use of medical cannabis.  Both the <a href="http://www.legis.state.wi.us/w3asp/commpages/IndividualCommittee.aspx?COMMITTEE=Public+Health&amp;HOUSE=Assembly" target="_blank">Assembly</a> and the <a href="http://www.legis.state.wi.us/w3asp/commpages/IndividualCommittee.aspx?COMMITTEE=Health%2c+Health+Insurance%2c+Privacy%2c+Property+Tax+Relief%2c+and+Revenue&amp;HOUSE=Senate" target="_blank">Senate Public Health Committees</a> <b>are scheduled to hear testimony</b> in favor of the legislation, known as <a href="http://www.madisonnorml.org/" target="_blank">the Jacki Rickert Medical Marijuana Act</a>, <b>on Tuesday, December 15, 2009</b>.<br />
<br />
<b>WASHINGTON:</b> Incoming Seattle city attorney Peter Holmes announced this week that <i><b>his office will <a href="http://kuow.org/program.php?id=18834" target="_blank">no longer charge anyone</a> with simple marijuana possession offenses</b></i>. &#8220;We&#8217;re not going to bring any more (marijuana possession) charges,&#8221; he said. There are other more important, more pressing public safety matters in need of attention with the limited resources we have.&#8221; Holmes added that he supports legislation to be introduced in 2010 that seeks to depenalize marijuana. Similar<a href="http://housedemocrats.wa.gov/members/roberts/Roberts_2009_Podcast3.htm" target="_blank"> proposals</a> introduced in 2009 died in committee.<br />
<br />
<b>PENNSYLVANIA:</b> Next month legislators will hold their first hearing &#8212; <b>ever</b> &#8212; on legalizing the use of medical cannabis. The <a href="http://www.legis.state.pa.us/cfdocs/cteeInfo/cteeInfo.cfm?cde=20&amp;body=H" target="_blank">House Committee on Health and Human Services</a> <b>will hear testimony</b> on <a href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=13244866" target="_blank">HB 1393</a>, The Barry Busch Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act of 2009, <b>on Wednesday, December 2</b>, at 11am in Room 140 of the Main Capitol. Contact <a href="http://www.phillynorml.org/" target="_blank">Philly NORML</a> for further details.<br />
<br />
<b>ARKANSAS:</b> Democrat Senator Randy Laverty <a href="http://www.arkansasbusiness.com/article.aspx?aid=0.0.130828" target="_blank">announced</a> this week that he is considering introducing legislation to lessen or eliminate criminal penalties for marijuana possession offenses. Legislators in several other states, including <b>New Hampshire</b> and <b>Texas</b>, are also expected to debate marijuana legalization proposals in 2010.<br />
<br />
<b>CALIFORNIA:</b> In the coming months legislators are expected to hold additional <a href="http://blog.norml.org/2009/10/29/testimony-from-california-assembly-committee-hearing-on-legalization-of-marijuana/" target="_blank">hearings</a> on <a href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/alert/?alertid=12758896" target="_blank">Assembly Bill 390</a>, the Marijuana Control, Regulation, and Education Act, which <b>seeks to tax and regulate the commercial production and retail sale of cannabis to those age 21 or older</b>. The California <a href="http://www.assembly.ca.gov/acs/newcomframeset.asp?committee=57" target="_blank">Assembly Committee on Public Safety </a>is anticipated to <i><b>vote on the measure by late January</b></i>. The vote will mark the first time that California, or the legislature of any state, has voted on the issue of cannabis regulation in over three decades.<br />
<br />
By any standard, 2010 will be a historic year for legislative activity regarding marijuana law reform. <b><a href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/" target="_blank">Will you play a role</a> in bringing common sense marijuana regulations to your community? <a href="http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3421" target="_blank">Get active</a>, <a href="http://www.norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=3434" target="_blank">get NORML</a>, and <a href="http://capwiz.com/norml2/issues/" target="_blank">be the change you want to see</a>!</b><br />
