Legalization Measure Short By 2,400 Signatures; Has 15 More Days

In a near-miss, the Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol Act has fallen 2,409 signatures short of winning approval for the ballot from the Colorado Secretary of State's Office. But the good news is, supporters still have 15 more days to reach the number of valid signatures needed.

RMLA submitted 163,632 signatures, reports Michael Roberts at Westword, almost twice as manyas the 86,105 required to make the ballot. But a shocking 79,936 of the signatures were deemed invalid by Secretary of State Scott Gessler's office, leaving only 83,696 that were considered acceptable.

"Today's news is unexpected, but it is really just a very small bump in the road on our journey to end the irrational policy of marijuana prohibition in the state," RMLA backer Mason Tvert told Westword. "Fortunately, we started this signature drive in 2011, so that we would have the opportunity to cure any shortfall in our count.

"We now have 15 days to collect approximately 3,000 valid signatures," Tvert said.

"Given that we were able to collect an average of 3,000 valid signatures per week during the first six months, we are confident we will complete this process successfully and quality the initiative for the ballot," Tvert said.

Tvert called the signature shortfall a "bump in the road."

Marijuana Buffalo Wings Recipe


This article was posted on Hail Mary Jane a while ago, so the words are a little dated. However, the recipe is stellar (right in time for Super Bowl!), and once again I tip my hat to ThisBuds4You.  He has to be one of, if not the best, marijuana recipe source on the planet:

What’s good Greenies and welcome to another tasty Tainted Tuesday from me, ThisBuds4You. Last week we made some Super Baked Potato Skins and this week we’re going to make the perfect companion for them, some Blazin’ Buffalo Wings. I don’t like to fry my wings but you can if you want. I prefer the slightly healthier option of roasting them…I think they taste better this way too. After all, once they get cooked we’re gonna drown them in canna-buttered hot sauciness, let’s cut the calories were we can.

30 bales of pot found floating in waters off Marina del Rey



Thirty bales of marijuana with an estimated street value of $500,000 were found floating in the waters off Marina del Rey, sheriff's deputies said Thursday.
Sheriff's Sgt. Michael Carriles said a recreational boater first found five bales in the water around noon Wednesday and alerted deputies and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Not long after, authorities found another 25 bales in the same vicinity - within a roughly 4-square-mile area about six nautical miles northwest of the harbor entrance, he said.
