CANNABIS CULTURE: Foster Child Reunited With Canadian Family

'If Noah is faking that smile, he deserves an Academy Award, never mind a ticket home to Canada.

Grinning like a boy promised an ice-cream sundae to go with his brand new puppy, Noah Kirkman looks as pleased as a 12-year-old can be, snuggled up in a restaurant booth with his grandpa.

The photograph, of Noah and Michael Heltay, was taken just hours after an Oregon judge ruled the boy can finally return to Canada, almost two years after being seized by child welfare authorities in that state.'

Featured Review: California Grow Mugs

I recently started an internet newspaper devoted to marijuana, The Cannabis Post. I've been searching for good writers to contribute, and one such writer happens to be the owner of something called California Grow Mugs.

I love the guy's writing, but I had never heard of the mugs; so when he said he was going to send me a couple, I was like that's cool, whatever. As long as he was a contributor to The Cannabis Post, I was happy.

When I got the mugs in the mail, I still hadn't gone to the website and seen what the hell these mugs did. I just figured it was a black mug promoting the city of San Francisco - no big deal. But when I went to write this review I finally bothered to check the Grow Mugs website...and I learned a lot.

It just goes to show what you learn when you bother to put in a little legwork. It turns out these mugs are cool as hell; my girlfriend loves them. When you add hot water - for coffee, tea, whatever - the mug changes color and a beautiful array of pot plants come out.

That's so badass. Check out California Grow Mugs and get yours today!

CANNABIS CULTURE: Marc Emery's US Federal Prison blog #3

'I've been busy today (Friday, May 28th). I got up at 5:30am as usual, started reading "Parting the Waves", the Martin Luther King and civil rights movement story. Excellent book. My day is the same thing over & over again each day: I read, I write, I eat poor food, I see no sun and feel no fresh air and can't sleep, its like Groundhog Day (the movie) unless I get stuff in the mail, or photos, or articles, or anything that has some substance that changes my day.'
