Show Me the Facts

I’m pretty proud about how my parody video came out. Check it out! http://bit.ly/1nKdF4 #marijuana #cannabis #mmot

So lately I’ve seen a lot of popularity and parodies of the now-famous iPhone, “There’s an app for that” commercial. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, click the link and go check it out first.

While I was watching it, a light bulb clicked on for a marijuana-related parody that I call, “Marijuana – There’s a Strain for That!”

If you enjoy it, please share it! Aside from the entertainment factor, I think this really makes a point about how versatile marijuana truly is.

Nearly two months ago I was fortunate enough to afford a trip down to the THC Expo hosted at the LA Convention Center in Los Angeles, California. At first, I debated whether or not I should go but after I received some feedback from a friend who went, it sounded like something too good to miss.

In the end, I had an amazing time. I met a wonderful assortment of marijuana activists, entrepreneurs, and plain ol’ enthusiasts. The spoils of my adventure came as an assortment of stickers, fliers, binders, pins, pens, and a few personal souvenirs.

The first thing I did when I got home was begin to go through my photos (I took nearly a thousand) and find the ones that best represented the show, then start writing while everything was fresh in my mind. It took a couple days, but I spent hours and hours writing the post only to have WordPress glitch out, refresh, and delete the entire draft.

Thankfully, the event was fun enough that I still vividly remember everything I wanted to talk about… I just need to exercise these fingers again to share it with you guys. It will be pretty long, so I will chunk it into two parts.

You heard it correct, folks. Some of you may have already known it was the site’s second birthday yesterday; mainly because I forgot to pay my domain bill and the site was down for most of yesterday. Whoops.

Two years ago, my goal was fairly simple: I wanted to create a website that would offer a professional, non-stereotyped source for debunking prohibition myths. It wasn’t until nearly a year later that I actually found direction for how I wanted to take the site and began updating as much as possible.

Though I started the site with simple intentions, I have really been inspired to strive for something more after my interactions with various people within the community. While my focus will remain on debating prohibitionists and providing medical studies as well as information on medical marijuana, I have decided to go forward with the forum idea mentioned previously.

As much as I was hoping to not have to spend too much out-of-pocket to get it running, it looks like I’ll have to dip a bit deeper into my matress to pick up the difference. A special thanks to those of you who have already donated or even those of you who sincerely would have if you could afford it, and I mean that (it’s the thought that counts). I will still keep the donations widget up in case anyone wants to donate after the fact.

Starting tomorrow, I’m going to be on the look out for a good price on a vBulletin license and hope to get it up and running within the month. My goal is to make it easier for the SMtF community to exchange ideas, share stories, and even help me out by offering research and links to manipulative prohibitionists .

What happened to me, you ask? Well, for those of you familiar with the site I really don’t like to give details about my personal life but I feel you deserve some sort of explanation for my absence. In short, I was hit with the perfect storm of summer events including a wedding, birthdays, summer school, etc. On top of that, as I said before, I am a poor college student that capitalizes on the summer to try and make money.

But fear not, for the storm has subsided and I am back to entertain all you folks with my marijuana related ramblings. Though I am currently back in school, I am going to reserve chunks of time each week to do updates, post articles, and write rebuttals; barring extreme circumstances, there shouldn’t be anything to stop me.

Looking forward to picking up where I left off!

Sincerely,
Eric
