                                                Grannies smoking pot for the first time!
This is a great little video, these 3 true ladies are awesome and funny. This video has had millions of views and I thought it is well worth sharing. Whether your a pot smoker or not it's worth the look.
As with everything in life it's up to the individual what he or she partakes in and I think what ever we as people do, moderation and the right time and place is always a good measure to go by! With a lot of us these days it's hard to partake in anything with the drug and alcohol testing in the work place that goes on.
I still wonder how many top end management types this applies to! Im pretty sure they play with a different set of rules. Much the same as their pay scale!
For myself, I'm working towards freeing myself of the mans rules and work for myself! It's a work in progress and one I'll never give up on!

I'm not a greedy person and where I can I do what I can to help others in any way I can. This is now what I'm doing for myself now as well! Helping myself to be as free as possible to live out the rest of my life however short or long it may be as a free person! For freedom to me is ones greatest asset!

billion $ company betting big on marijuana.

                                       

As of not long ago, its been a couple of rich people who furtively financed thriving pot organizations, but for the first time, a noteworthy investment firm is going to put multimillion dollars behind pot.

It's an association between two speculators and the first institutional interests in pot,

Geoff Lewis' firm, Founders Fund, a $2 billion organization, made its name investing early in new organisations such as Facebook, Spotify and SpaceX. Be that as it may now its wagering on pot.

"We discuss all our investments  for a long time . ...So especially for this situation, we did an additional, additional profound jump on the business," Lewis said.

The business is recreational weed, now lawful in four states. Therapeutic (Medical) marijuana is legal in more than 20 now.

Privateers Holdings CEO Brendan Kennedy said it is a watershed moment.

"It's essential for our organization, but at the same time its critical for the whole industry," Kennedy said.

Privateers Holdings is the parent organization of three cannabis brands: Tilray, which develops pot in Canada; Leafly, an online database of distinctive pot strains and stores; and Marley Natural, from the family of reggae star Bob Marley, which intends to become the "Marlboro of weed."

Kennedy confronted difficulties along the way.

"Raising cash is constantly troublesome, but raising cash in this specific industry is the hardest thing I've ever done," he said. However Founders Fund is backing Kennedy's organizations on the grounds that it sees a future in what they says is now a $40 billion business in the U.S.

"One of our key fundamental beliefs is any individual who wants to consume marijuana is already consuming it," Kennedy said.

"We will see it move, change from being a market that's based on prohibition and an unlawful business to being a completely open, completely transparent business sector. and thats the opportunity," Kennedy included.

"The surest method for multiplying your cash putting resources into cannabis stocks is to fold it back over and place it in your pocket," UCLA professor Mark Klieman cautioned.

Klieman studies the cannabis marketplace and warns: investors beware.

"Quite a few people are gathering into the marijuana business on the grounds that they think they will have the capacity to offer a lawful product at illegal prices," Klieman said. "competition's not going to permit that. Legal cannabis will be very cheap, and I think quite a few people are going to lose their shirts attempting to sell it."

That is, whether they don't get arrested first. Under federal government law, marijuana is still illegal. While the Justice Department has said it won't prosecute cannabis organisations (companies) obeying state laws, that could change.













Kennedy said he doesn't see a danger, however.

"More than 80 percent of Americans feel the medicinal marijuana ought to be legal, 8 out of 10; you can't get 8 out of 10 American's to agree on  anything," Kennedy said.

Lewis said this isn't a politically motivated investment.

"We're investing in light of the fact that we think its an awesome business," he noted.

Both Lewis and Kennedy believe pot will be completely legal in the U.S. inside 10 years. Starting now, there are no numbers on what number of organizations have effectively begun, or how many jobs  have been created, but many experts agree  the cannabis business sector could turn into a $150 billion to $200 billion business sector around the world. Only time will tell.

Anyway, you be your own judge! it's a short video and well worth a look!

Alaska becomes third state to legalize recreational marijuana use.

Alaska becomes third state to legalize recreational marijuana use


On the day Alaska turned into the third state in the country to authorize recreational pot utilization, people in this party town best known as the completion line for the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race appeared to be more inspired by viewing snowmobile challengers impact into the city than smoking a joint.

U.S. sees significant social move on pot authorisation

That is to a great extent in light of the fact that purchasing, offering and smoking marijuana in public places is still illegal. The state law that came into effect Tuesday permits individuals 21 years old or more to have 1 ounce or less of pot and grow up to six plants on private property. They can give their homegrown pot to others, yet there are no retail outlets or business producers as of yet.

Voters in the Republican state endorsed legalisation  in a vote the previous fall, 52.15% to 47.85%. At the same time the measure did not clear up a few issues identified with pot regulation.

State controllers are still drafting guidelines covering tariff and sale of weed, which must be in place by Nov. 24. Applications for the first business licenses won't be put in place until February 2016, and weed won't be legally available to be purchased until at least May 2016.


"This is a historic day, marking a legal shift," Tim Hinterberger, head of the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol, the group that has led the push for legitimization, said at a news meeting.

"With great marijauana  laws comes great responsibility," he said, emphasising that his and other advocacy groups want people not to abuse the situation and smoke responsibly. Cannabis stays illicit under federal government law and driving under its influence remains illegal in Alaska.

Not everybody is in support of legalisation. Gene Fenton, who was bagging groceries in a local store, said Tuesday that he was against the law on the grounds that he was worried over who would in the end profit from the new business.

"The victors will be the pharmaceutical organizations," Fenton anticipated. "They are going to control it."

Among the fundamental questions left uncertain was a reasonable meaning of an open space, where pot use would not be allowed.

Alaska's Alcoholic Beverage Control Board met Tuesday and unanimously passed a measure to comprehensively characterize open space to incorporate roads, parks, schools and spots where individuals normally meet. The board is charged with creating regulations for pot utilization.

Gov. Bill Walker documented enactment Monday to create a pot control board, the same as the body that controls liquor sales. Making regulations will be a significant step, officials and proponents concur.

"Since the campaign is now over, now is the ideal time to make a robust regulatory framework that sets an example for other states," said Taylor Bickford, representative for the Campaign to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol.

Proponents maintain that a controlled, legitimate business platform would create a huge number of dollars in tax income and create many jobs. Law enforcement will have more of a capacity to address more serious crimes rather than enforcing failed marijuana laws, supporters say.

In January, Anchorage authorities passed a city mandate making smoking maryjane in public an infringement, punishable by a $100 fine. Police in Anchorage have said they will uphold the public smoking law.
In addition to Colorado and Washington state, Oregon voters in November sanction a measure like Alaska's, however marijuana will not not be legal until July.

A poll activity sanctioning pot ownership yet not retail deals was overwhelmingly affirmed in Washington, D.C.

Supporters of sanctioning are considering campaigns in California, Arizona, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts.
