Stoned KidsMedical marijuana is legal in 20 states and the District of Columbia, but there are still use cases that are very controversial, like medical marijuana for children. Some claim it's a wonder drug for epilepsy, severe autism, and even to quell the harsh side effects of chemotherapy, while others decry pumping marijuana into still-growing bodies. We went to the small town of Pendleton, Oregon, where medical marijuana is legal, to visit Mykayla Comstock, an eight-year-old leukemia patient who takes massive amounts of weed to treat her illness. Her family, and many people we met along the way, believe not only in the palliative aspects of the drug, but also in marijuana's curative effect—that pot can literally shrink tumors.

A Eugene Jarecki Digital Short
Every day, more Americans agree the War on Drugs has failed and must change. The Smarter Sentencing Act will save billions of dollars and ease dangerous overcrowding in prisons by reducing sentences for non-violent drug offenders. It will also help strengthen communities and reduce racial injustice. Ask your members of Congress to pass the Smarter Sentencing Act. It's a vital first step.

Dr Sanjay Gupta's CNN Special "WEED"Want to make a difference? Donate $1 (or more) to help finance a trip to D.C. where I will personally hand copies of both of these videos to each and every Senator, Congressman, and Congresswoman. Knowledge and education are our best weapons and I would love to be able to spread this knowledge to the people who can make a difference. Donations can be sent to my Paypal email address: todd@toddedits.com
Dr. Sanjay Gupta's epic change of heart regarding medical cannabis is a momentous occasion for all of us who know the truth about cannabis. For him to publicly admit he was wrong and that we the people have been systematically lied to by the government regarding cannabis is a huge step towards awakening the masses. I personally cannot thank him enough for this.
Don't forget to check out the video of Dr. Gupta on Piers Morgan's CNN show live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1rAnuK88X0
I've uploaded both videos to DropBox for anyone interested in downloading them. Here is the link: http://goo.gl/7Hquek
I would recommend downloading the videos, burning them to a disc, and sending them to your local and state representatives to show that you support legalization. Education is the key to winning this battle. We have the facts on our side, we just need to share them with as many people as possible,
Donations for continued research are appreciated but not necessary for the download. If you'd care to donate, my Paypal email address is todd@toddedits.com

American Outlaw: The True Story of a Marijuana MillionaireA documentary chronicling the life of author Richard Stratton, from his early experiments with marijuana in suburban Massachusetts to his ultimate entry into the world of high volume, international hashish and marijuana trade. His involvement in the drug market, including the shipment of 7 tons of hashish from war-riddled Beirut into New York Harbor, led to his arrest and conviction to 25 years in maximum-security prison. This video, through re-enactments, stock footage, score and interview, tells the unbelievable story.
Marijuana Nation - (DOCUMENTARY) FULLThe National Geographic Channel, covers the ongoing global battle over marijuana prohibition, its history, and the growing culture of cannabis use for recreational and medical purposes.
Reporter Lisa Ling visits Vancouver's Pot Block, as well as some secret and not-so-secret marijuana growing operations and other relevant pot spots.
Marc Emery, former publisher of Cannabis Culture and founder of the BC Marijuana Party, is shown at CCHQ (307 W. Hastings in Vancouver - see map) before his extradition to the US and imprisonment in a federal penitentiary. Emery was targeted by the US DEA for selling marijuana seeds and using the profits to fund marijuana legalization groups.
Kings of Cannabis (Full Length Documentary)You might not know who Arjan Roskam is, but you've probably smoked his weed. Arjan's been breeding some of the most famous marijuana strains in the world—like White Widow, Super Silver Haze, and many others—for over 20 years.
In 1992 he opened his first coffee shop in Amsterdam and has since crafted his marijuana-breeding skills into a market-savvy empire known as Green House Seed Company, which rakes in millions of dollars a year.
He's won 38 Cannabis Cups and has dubbed himself the King of Cannabis.
VICE joins Arjan and his crew of strain hunters in Colombia to look for three of the country's rarest types of weed, strains that have remained genetically pure for decades. In grower's terms, these are called landraces. We trudge up mountains and crisscross military checkpoints in the country's still-violent south, and then head north to the breathtaking Caribbean coast. As the dominoes of criminalization fall throughout the world, Arjan is positioned to be at the forefront of the legitimate international seed trade.
