From a national standpoint, marijuana reform efforts have been achieving a great deal of success as of late. Voters in Washington, Colorado, and Oregon will actually have the opportunity to legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana use this November. Even though the situation is not as upbeat in California, the state remains the epicenter for American …continue reading

While it is usually a difficult time to be a veteran integrating back into civilian life, last week was especially difficult. First the White House denied a petition to allow PTSD to be legally treated with marijuana. The petition was signed by thousands of war veterans though the White House maintains there is not enough …continue reading

The criminalization of marijuana has caused some head scratching for decades. Why exactly are naturally growing buds with few side effects (certainly far less than many FDA approve drugs”) and a wealth of medical potential illegal? Lobbyists? Political stubbornness? Lack of Compassion? Well if we cannot these questions about why our government has outlawed marijuana …continue reading

Despite having no military combat experience or even approving any federal cannabis research, President Obama has come to a very well thought out conclusion, marijuana has no benefit for sufferers of PTSD. Of course many doctors, scientists, and war veterans of this country feel very differently than the president. A coalition of returning soldiers has …continue reading

History credits alcohol prohibition with giving way for the rise of the American mob. The aftermath of marijuana prohibition is eerily similar with cartels dictating Mexican politics. Unfortunately the situation for our southern neighbors is even more out of control as governments in Central and South America are unable to end the extreme violence. The …continue reading

We at marijuana.net have spoken at length about all of the exciting news regarding national marijuana reform. We have also discussed the bureaucratic delays that have frustrated patients and activists, especially as no plausible explanation is provided for all the red tape. Again we find ourselves talking about New Jersey. Yesterday we posted an article …continue reading

During a recent speech at the Brookings Institution Chris Christie made statements that called for an end to the war on drugs. In fact he called it a failure and even referenced his pro-life views. At one point during the speech he said “If you’re pro-life, as I am, you can’t be pro-life just in …continue reading

From Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre to New York’s Broadway, plays have and continue to be an important outlet for entertainment, emotion, and art. Many social struggles are depicted through the use of live play actors. Popular plays such as “West Side Story” addressed cutting edge themes such as interracial relationships during a time where it was a very controversial issue. “Rent” dealt with a taboo topic of closely looking at how AIDS impacts the lives of those who contract it as well as those who close to them. “King Lear “ raised questions about God and humanity centuries before such topics could even be discussed in the mainstream, questions on God that are still taboo in many circles.
It seems the marijuana reform movement is no different than any other struggle. A new musical in North Humboldt County will deal with a new controversial issue, marijuana. “Mary Jane: The Musical” is currently being performed by Dell’Arte International. The group is known for colorful performances and the new marijuana musical seems to fit right in. The play takes a look at many marijuana related issues but often focuses primarily on the lives of growers, their family dynamics, and living with secrets. Also the issue of parenting and bringing children into a world of secret growing is explored.
As we have said previously at marijuana.net, art and creativity always seem to be the one positive by product to rise out of struggle. Of course there have been “stoner” movies for a long time (with several being hilarious) but it would be nice to see something lighthearted that is not totally ridiculous. Oliver Stone recently released “Savages” which takes an in depth look at Cartel life and the alarming level of violence associated with transporting Mexican marijuana. As acceptance of marijuana grows we hope to see productions that also reflect the problems that patients and growers are faced with on a more serious level, without forgetting to have some fun in the meantime. It appears that “Mary Jane: The Musical” has set out to do just that.
