Stiletto Stoners - Women Who Smoke Pot NBC - Beverly Hills Cannabis Club

Marie Claire editor-in-chief Joanna Coles disagreed with Hollands view that there is a large social stigma attached to smoking marijuana.

I have to say, thats not what we are hearing from readers, she said on the Today Show. First of all, its decriminalized in 13 states, and I dont think this is a generation of people who get excited about the fact that its illegal.

The inspiration for the article, Coles said, was hearing from readers that they were feeling stressed. Clearly, the economy is a great deal of stress for people and they wanted a way to unwind. And they found more and more of them were doing this [smoking marijuana] and they found it had less impact on them when they were going to work the next morning. So they didnt want to drink. Its cheap and they felt they could do it in the privacy of their own home, and it was a very effective way to calm down.

Holland agreed that marijuana may be a less harmful drug than alcohol, saying that marijuana has psycho-therapeutic properties that booze lacks.

Its more of a mind drug, she said. Alcohols sort of a deadening, numbing maybe more like a body drug.

On pot, people are unwinding and theyre relaxing, but theyre also able to think and maybe analyze or think clearly I think cannabis is more functional than alcohol, certainly in terms of anxiety. It can be a treatment or a medicine.

Coles added that the Marie Claire article seems to have struck a nerve with readers.

Glad to finally see reality shown by mainstream media without all the government propaganda & lies.

[NORML90210]

During my youth, I actually bought in to the propaganda. When I learned the truth, I feel enlightened. Thanks for stopping by.

Are they serious when they revealed that the hollywood ficiton stoner isn't the only ones lighting up?

it was like they were saying breaking news or like a new study came out that the stereotypical pothead isnt the only pothead

Fuckin idiots. everybody smokes weed...

[NORML90210]

I think for some people it's difficult to know what's real because those in the closet only share their cannabis usage with their most intimate friends and circles. Isn't it great that we have an opportunity to finally educate and enlighten people? Thanks so much for your comment.

Best,

Cheryl

If there is the possibility the Cannabis will cure Cancer & you have these testimonials of people RICK SIMPSON has helped, the science, the historical use of Cannabis being used to treat tumors. When you are spending $9 Billion a year to arrest Americans for Cannabis why would the govt. now spend a few million to do a clinical trial & find out whether or not this stuff really cures Cancer? That's like a no-brainer again. It's proof that we have insane people running the government.

"I believe that it's very possible that some people are in fact getting cured (using Rick Simpson's Cancer Cure Hemp Oil) in 30-60 days from being treated with Cancer. I think that's a distinct possibility again in animal studies & in tissue culture it kills Cancers. Do I believe that it's possible absolutely, but no nobody's going to do the studies. Because none of these drug companies are going to make money, because they can't patent the plant."

@whitehiphop1 HAHA dude can I give you 1000 thumbs up. BREAKING NEWS, nobody's ever really melted into their couch from weed

[FreshlyCutGrass]

200- 300 for half an ounce, no way

[iknowit86]

The question at 3:00 is a good one aswell as a good answer from the brunett. I have not heard a truer statement on the news to this question. Its a shame people who are misinformed are to scared to type marijuana/stoners into the search box, its because they have been trained to fear the word as if it were devil himself.

It's more NORML than ever!
