Transportation plays a key role in the marijuana industry. A large number of marijuana busts happen while the weed in being transported. Suppliers send thousands of pounds of marijuana daily via semi trailers, rapper’s tour buses, submarines and school buses. This article however, is intended for personal sized amounts of lets say, one ounce or less, that gets transported in a normal passenger vehicle.

For legal purposes, I am assuming the hypothetical situation that you legally purchased some medical marijuana and are not wanting trouble from police on the drive back home. Rule number one in any situation is to always remember your rights. If an officer does not have probable cause to search your car, you have the right to refuse the search no matter how convincing the officer may seem.

Jon Gosselin (of “Jon & Kate Plus 8″ fame) has been back in the news after he was spotted in France with his new girlfriend just weeks after Kate filed for divorce.

One important part of the new law was aimed at restricting flavored tobacco that anti-smoking groups say target kids. These flavored tobacco products include blunts and wraps which are used by many marijuana smokers to roll marijuana filled cigars. (more…)

Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) has introduced a bill to congress that aims to legalize posession of up to 3.5 ounces of marijuana at the federal level. The “Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2009″ would also legalize the not-for-profit transfer of 1 ounce or less of marijuana. This is a major achievement for marijuana activists but what does it mean for the marijuana industry or the average consumer?  (more…)

Hashtags are a common way to tag or group messages on Twitter. A hashtag is created by simply adding a pound sign (#) in front of a word or acronym within a tweet. This allows, say fans of the National Basketball Association, to follow the #nba hashtag to keep up with related tweets.

Marijuana has a large fan base on Twitter which has spawned many marijuana related hashtags over time. This is a list of the most commonly used marijuana hashtags and what they mean. While all are related to marijuana, they each have their own meaning or context in which they should be used. (more…)
