Ok so I'm sticking with a sports related theme here. I'm half-way through the NFL season while managing two fantasy football teams so I'm all about football these days.

Remember a few years back when Ricky Williams was suspended from the NFL for puffing the magic dragon? Well after a few year stint of chilling out and playing a year in Canadian football, Williams returned to the Miami Dolphins this season and is having a hell of a year playing backup to Ronnie Brown, and last night looked like a 25 year old on his way to having a spectacular game starting in place of the injured Brown.

Ok I'm not going to go on about how althletes that smoke weed can go on to have successful...

Flip-Flop. Actually, more like just a flop...

In the early 2000's I was confident that Canada was going to forge ahead into the new millennium a leader in cannabis reform, and eventually set an example for other nations that marijuana legalization was indeed more rational than prohibiting it. Then it all went to shit...

In the US the powers that be were deeply concerned with what was happening in Canada. A law contradicting complete and utter prohibition of marijuana in a bordering country was unacceptable, and something had to be done. A 2004 Parliament report clearly states subtle overtures from American officials threatening restrictions on trade if Canada were...

I am going ahead and posting the first two parts of this article that I started working on more than a month ago now. It's just snap shot of the last decade in pot politics in Canada and the US within the last decade and how policies have changed. Once I got to writing it kind of ballooned to include alot of pot history within the last century, and the outline just got to big so I'm going with the original drafts I began with. I still think they are pretty rough, but I've been busy lately and was sick for a couple of weeks to boot so I'm just gonna say fuck it and post it now. The second half is still just a jumble of notes, online bookmarks, and a decent outline-both on paper and in my head-of...

Hello everyone. Wow, went to Quebec City for Halloween weekend with some old high school buddies to see Metallica and had a blast. Caught the chest cold from hell however and passed it on to the kiddies. Been down and out for the better part of two weeks now, and just starting to come around.

Read this interesting piece from ESPN yesterday:Fans behaving badly? Never fear. It's about the general rowdiness that occurs at college football games in the US, and the new high tech measures many schools are implimenting to deal with the 'problem'. Rowdiness and rude behaviour is nothing new at sporting events, and it certainly isn't limited to the US. However, I find it interesting how...

Hello everyone, I hope all our Canadian members had a wonderful thanksgiving and that everyone on the forum is well. I'm doing great myself, settling into a life on land with my family in a new province. We moved here at the beginning of the year, and since then I've decided to find work on shore and not go to sea anymore. I still haven't decided what new career path to pursue, so I've had lots of time to spend at home and feed my DF addiction to no end. I'll break down eventually and get a job out of necessity if nothing else lol, but until then you should see my handle in the 'who's online' for most of the day, as it usually is.

I've been getting a little more active on the forum...

So Marc turned himself in last monday, four years after his arrest in Halifax. It's still kind of hard to believe this is happening considering the facts of the case, most importantly that he has never set foot on American soil. Anyways, we all know the case by now and that his situation would probably be alot different if Canada did not have a Stephen Harper led Conservative government at the moment.

Dispite the fact it appears the governments position is set and that our Justice Minister, Robert Nicholson, will not refuse Marc's surrender, Emery and his supporters have been urging people to voice there disaproval and write letters to various politico's, most importantly the justice...
