RENEE BOJE TALKS ABOUT HER NEW LIFE IN CANADA

STIRING THE POT
TIME MAGAZINE -- "The new (Canadian) legislation, along with a new national drug strategy, will be the government’s response to a decade of data suggesting that antipot laws currently on the books have been counterproductive."

NEXT CANADIAN PRIME MINISTER VOWS TOUGHER WAR ON DRUGS
Ottawa Citizen -- Canada must take dramatic measures to win the "war" against illegal drugs, Liberal leadership front-runner Paul Martin said yesterday. (Note: Yes, just as has been sooo successful everywhere else??)

FEDERAL POT BILL HO HUM, SAYS DRUG COP
VANCOUVER COURIER -- Decriminalization of possessing small amounts of pot will have little effect in Vancouver, since the city already has "de facto decriminalization," says the head of the city's drug squad.

ROSENTHAL ATTORNEYS SAY PROSECUTOR LIED
OAKLAND, CALIF -- "Not only had the trial jurors been manipulated into a conviction they now regretted, but federal prosecutor George Bevan had actually lied to the grand jury to get the indictment in the first place."

It does not matter much what our Government does or says on our issue, it is the courts that have delivered us to this point, and only the courts will move us forward. Government is just fumbling around. You will be okay Renee, rest easy.

Good show kids, I am very saddened by the news about Ed Rosenthal, once again Steve your summation is perfect. It was good to hear from Renee B., I share her fears. As I've said before, remember who you are dealing with. Keep safe.. J8^)

It's great to be free, after having SHIT cramed down our throats for so long. I almost came here in '73. Better late than NEVER.

I find it hard to believe Ed didn't act on his own advice, and flee persecution. He should've known better! His advise columns will be sorely missed. Renee it was nice to her from you. I'd like to patronize your shop some day. Steve, I love ya man!

    also, escaping amerikkka would be great but it requires tens of thousands of dollars. maybe the underground railroad could be more inclusive and work on housing for refugees while they get on their feet. to live on the street in CAnada isn't an option.

The global marijuana movement is huge, and no government or group of governments can move quickly enough to slow the growth of this enlightened consciousness. Lots of people will continue to get arrested in this war on us, though we are winning over all**

Ed Rosenthal is a great man and a hero. If he is imprisoned, his work will continue to bolster the movement in a much broader way.

Great show. Thank you, Rene' for reminding us just how brutal this cultural cleansing war on pot smokers (even medical) can be down here in the USSA. We cannot rest until we have freed all the dungeons of the innocent and brought down the war criminals.

I have it on reliable authority here at UBC that pot-tv staffers create those comments. Pot-tv staff have been directed to immediately delete all posts which aren't extremely positive. It's not a democracy people, so don't expect it to be. :)

When Steve Kubby said, "A sinking ship" he wasn't kidding, this place hasbeen on a downward slide for a long time but lately it's been hard to tell one side from the other in this debate given the tactics and quality of message comig forth from both sides

Please DO NOT tell me this means Rene Bojee is going to be doing the "news" from now on. Please god no...

    Yes Shaggy, that's exactly what it means. If you don't like it marry the director and then you can do the news and constantly talk about yourself on pot-tv. :) Look around here, the Rene story is retold verbatim on at least 50 different pot-tv videos. Yay

This is odd, no one is removing posts, no one is adding shows??? Something bad must have happened, the pot-tv staff is obviously offline. [Bites fingernails]

    There are now too many of us Kings, one of us has to go. You and Don have fun, Im out of here. The problem must be that the pool is filling full of bitching cybernerds who complain about free stuff, and its expensive to entertain cheap bitchers.

"Ed Rosenthal is a *great* man?" For what? Check the facts, he's a great photo-op guy, but what did he ever do in terms of hard cold anything for anyone but himself. He wasn't exactly going broke doing the med-pot, he's enjoyed great personal prosperity.

    LNM: on Tuesday May 27 @1:03AM
    You guys use these labels too much like "great man" and "hero" . For example, if all it takes for Loretta Nail to qualify as a *hero* is a few months of promoting herself on pot-tv then you're far too easily awed. Do some time, you'll meet real heros.

    You want to talk about "great men" try the people who are out there making a difference each and every single day without asking for anything in return (unlike Ed Rosenthal and his baseless high times suit $$$$ ) or posing for a camera every 5 minutes.

    LNM: on Tuesday May 27 @1:16AM
    And if you want to talk about real heros please don't feed me "Loretta Nall" and "Rene Bojee". Let's talk about the people who don't have time to sit here and talk about themselves all day (as these 2 do) because they're too busy actually helping people.

Can someone please tell me what happened to the Kubbys ??? I go away on vacation and come back to find all hell seems to have broke loose with the comments (again) and comments seem to have been deleted. Now you can't comment except thru CC. What's up??

    no,no: on Wednesday June 04 @2:47PM
    It's all politics and you will never know what really happened. You can bet it had something to do with Mark hearing the "no" from one of his disciples
