The Medical Marijuana Council provides a great deal of information on medical marijuana and studies that have been done regarding marijuana and it's effectiveness and safety with regard to various illnesses. Most all information they provide is in layperson terms and is extrapolated from scientific studies to help the patient who is considering medical marijuana make a decision.
Jack Herer (June 18, 1939 – April 15, 2010) passed away today. Jack was a hardworking marijuana activist, published Author of two books "The Emperor Wears No Clothes" and "Grass", a Public Speaker, and a man who had a strain of marijuana named after him "Jack Herer". He's been featured in High Times magazine and graced their cover on several occasions. As if that wasn't enough he also ran for President of the U.S. twice, once in 1988, and again in 1992. Jack died at age 70 from complications of a heart attack he had approximately 7 months earlier. He is survived by his wife Jeannie who was often by his side in his endeavors.
This is a pretty cool quote from Jordan Westfall regarding Jack
"He aint dead. He just became a God. He'll still be there. Just not as a mortal. Sitting next to jesus hitting a blunt bigger than his head looking at Buddah saying "see dude my shit is better than yours" and Morrison laughing his head off. While Garcia is asking "so.... when are we all going back for this apocalypse thing?"
RIP Jack Herer 
There's a new dispensary in South Park. The South Park TV show that is. When the family stops for their weekly supply of Kentucky Fried Chicken after their soccer practice, they come to find out the restaurant has been turned into a Medical Marijuana Dispensary. The kids are upset since that was the only KFC in town, but Dad can't get to the Doctor fast enough to get his Medical Marijuana Recommendation so he can legally buy medical marijuana.
