Welcome to Hempcon 2010 Los Angeles Convention Center! Check out some photos of Friday / Saturday of the event:

Big Ups to DJ Green Lantern and hip hop artists Planet Asia, Krondon, and the Strong Arm Steady Crew for performing at Hempcon  2010 Medical Marijuana Expo in Los Angeles.  Big Ups to AJNAG's entertainment partner, Klub Kush, for sponsoring the performance.  The fellas took the set on Saturday afternoon following the main event's speakers.  They elevated the Los Angeles Convention Center with dynamic 1’s and 2’s and potent lyrical flows, hitting heavy with the urban cannabis presence.

Ever dream of being able to grow medical cannabis on the go? Tired of searching for the right lease and dealing with the hassles of setting up and breaking down? Tow and Grow Advanced Mobile Grow Rooms are the next generation in cannabis cultivation technology. These pimped out custom trailers have been converted into mean green mobile laboratories.

LA Times Photo of Jeff Joseph, Organica Collective operator being arrested

Organica, a California medical marijuana collective located at 13456 Washington Blvd in Culver City, was raided today by Federal DEA Agents. The collective;s operator, Jeff Joseph, was arrested long with possible employees.  Organica was raided back in 2008 by the feds for the first time and again in 2009 by joint task force with LAPD, Culver City Police Department, IRS, and Los County Sheriff's Department.  Jeff is an outspoken advocate for cannabis reform who has been featured in High Times Magazine and in the documentary, How the Weed Won the West.

Some would think, why would you re-open for the third time after being raided by the DEA? Jeff is a true freedom fighter and willing to take one for the cause.  This raid comes at the wake of a Los Angeles ordinance and crack down on medical marijuana dispensaries.  This week the DEA also raided a laboratory testing facility in Colorado and a medical marijuana grower.  Many are questioning the Obama Adminsitration's new position to no longer arrest and prosecute medical marijuana providers and patients that are following state law.

First results in United States in 20 years from clinical trials of smoked cannabis

Researchers from the University of California’s Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) have found “reasonable evidence that cannabis is a promising treatment” for some specific, pain-related medical conditions.  Their findings, presented today to the California legislature and public, are included in a report available on the CMCR web site at http://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu.

In Los Angeles this Weekend and want to kick it with the cannabis industry? Check out the premier of the Hemp Con Medical Marijuana Show at the LA Convention Center Friday-Sunday February 19-21 2010.  The event is being put on by Mega Productions and sponsored by Beverly Hill NORML 90210 .  Key speakers include Cheryl Shuman and Frederic Rhodes of Beverly Hills National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).  HempCon is the second Cannabis Expo to come to Los Angeles. 

In July 2010, the THC Expo Los Angeles was harvested by veteran Cannabis / Marijuana advocate Todd McCormack making history as the first major Cannabis Industry Expo in the United States.  Hemp Con is another example on how mainstream the cannabis industry is becoming.

Last July Cannabis Apps by AJNAG harvested the very first Cannabis locator iPhone Application.  The AJNAG "Cannabis" App was featured on ABC, CBS, Fox, Drudge Report, Mashable, Mac / PC World, the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien, and more. 

Originally, the app sold for $2.99; now any iPhone and iPod Touch   users—over the age of seventeen— can download the app called   Cannabis from the iTunes store for free. 

The Olympics Commence in Vancouver Canada, among the top cannabis coffee shop destinations in the world. Vancouver is home to legendary marijuana activist, Marc Emery, founder of Cannabis Culture Magazine and Marc Emery Seeds, and the BC Marijuana Party.  Don't these burning olympic torches look like giant spliffs?

With great regret and chagrin to report, CBS has rejected a contract deal with NORML to place a pro-cannabis law reform advertisement on the biggest electronic billboard in Times Square (The CBS ‘Super Screen’ at 42nd St) claiming that the advertisement is too political. NORML had a contract for the 15 second spot below on the giant billboard (and a second one featuring President Obama and New York City’s high cannabis arrest rate with its shocking racial disparity in enforcement).

Robert Nesta Marley would have been 65 Years old today. Music was his platform to educate the people and spread awareness about politics, injustice, peace, and the great ganja herb.  The positive vibrations of his rhythms have influenced cannabis culture around the World. ONELOVE

"Just can't live that negative way, make way for the positive day"

"When you smoke herb it reveals you to yourself"

"It takes a revolution to make a solution."

"Music and herb go together. It's been a long time now I smoke herb. From 1960s, when I first start singing." Bob Marley

On Saturday, January 30th 2010, Oaksterdam University Los Angeles graduated its second harvest of cannabis freedom fighters. The ceremony took place at the West Hollywood Parks and Recreation center. The event began with a video message from Oaksterdam University’s Founder, Richard Lee. Lee congratulated and praised the former students for being part of what is not just a learning institute but also a movement that Lee himself is so passionate about. Richard Lee along with co-proponent Jeff Jones recently turned in almost 700,000 signatures supporting their ballot initiative Tax Cannabis 2010. Learn more at www.taxcannabis.org.

Tax and Regulate Cannabis 2010, the California ballot initiative that would legalize and regulate marijuana in California, submitted about  700,000 signatures today ensuring its place on the November ballot.  California would become the first state in the U.S. to legalize, regulate and tax cannabis for adults 21 and over if passed. Richard Lee, an Oakland cannabis entrepreneur and founder of Oaksterdam University is sponsoring the bill along with Jeff Jones, Executive Director of the Patient ID Center, formally known as the Oakland Cannabis Buyers Cooperative.  The two have been instrumental in helping to revitalize downtown Oakland through cannabis based businesses.  Oakland is now known as “Oaksterdam,” the Amsterdam of the West.

Iv'e spent all morning watching footage of this horrific incident. These people have suffered and lost everything in a matter of seconds. Homes, churches, and hospitals crushed. Haiti needs to be completely re-built, this will cost millions upon millions. Already many countries have sent supplies and money to help in any way that they can, but will this be enough?

Before the quake over 80% of Haiti people are living underneath the poverty line. 78% of the population live on 2$ a day, its a very poor country. Due to the recent deforestation, their forests have been cut down, leaving them with little building materials, and fuel. What could REALLY save these people?

 Send them hemp seeds. With it they can re-build stronger homes, bridges, feed the hungry,  and clothe the unclothed. If Haiti were to grow hemp, they could sell it to the world! Hemp production would provide thousands of jobs, and money to a country that really needs it...
