The Toronto Maple Leafs' historic record as biggest losers in a single game lasted all of one day until the BC New Democratic Party took the title away from them in an even more breathtaking fashion.

The Origins of April 20th as a Day of Celebrating Cannabis
Marc Emery
Apr 2 2013
The biggest celebration day in the cannabis culture is April 20. The April 20 (4/20) celebration originally started in the mid 1970s as the time of day after school, 4:20 pm, for high school students in San Rafael, California to meet to smoke pot. The phrase "I'll see at you at 4:20" became code for, "I'll be there to smoke a joint with you after classes are over".

Decriminalize or legalize?
Dana Larsen
Feb 17 2013
I often get asked about what I mean when I say that our Sensible BC campaign wants to "decriminalize" cannabis in BC. Some people tell me they don't like the idea of decriminalizing, and that we must legalize cannabis instead. Other people say they don't want legalization, and will only support a decriminalized model. Some people think that "decriminalization" means that people in possession of cannabis will still get a punishment, like a ticket or fine.

Marc Emery
Feb 5 2013
Upon learning that the Washington State Liquor Control Board is seeking consultant applications for a legal marijuana production and distribution system, Marc wrote this tongue-in-cheek submission. Marc was extradited to and sentenced in Seattle, Washington despite operating his seed business in Vancouver, BC, Canada at all times.

CANNABIS CULTURE - The best way to celebrate the holiday season is to light up a fat Christmas Tree with a circle of family and friends, then kick back with a spiced eggnog and a huge plate of festive baked treats. This was the scene at the 2012 Cannabis Culture Christmas Staff Party, held on December 12 at the BCMP Vapor Lounge.

Dec 13 2012
It’s December 6 today, I've got 4 months until I get my transfer-back-to-Canada application to the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. It’s 580 days to go if I serve my entire sentence here in the US federal prison system (up to July 9, 2014) with 1,010 days now served – that’s 33 months done, 19 to go (on a 60-month sentence, I'll serve 52 months with my good time credit).
