Cameron Makes The Cover Of High Times Magazine

Image by ex_magician

My 24 year old stepson, Cameron, has been designing hydroponics systems for several years. Actually this is an "aeroponics system." His target market, he states, are people with medical marijuana cards – legal here in Oregon and also in California (where he lives).

Well, I guess he is on to something special because his latest aeroponics invention, the "Clone and Grow 12" has made the cover of High Times Magazine.

I have to be honest and say that I have mixed feelings about this. Margo and I do not smoke pot (although we both did when we were younger), and as prescribing doctor in Oregon I have mixed feelings about medical marijuana cards (because even though it is very helpful to some individuals there is a tremendous amount of abuse in the system – what I mean is that there are a lot of people with no bona fide medical condition that might be helped by pot who have medical marijuana cards just so they can smoke it legally).

Whatever!

But beyond all that we have to admit that he has really designed a system that has some merit if he made the cover of High Times!!! So we are proud.

HA HA – this is the first time we have ever gone into a store and bought a copy of High Times, isn’t life strange?

What¹s really in that medical marijuana law?

This November Arizona will vote on medical marijuana, and even supporters have reason to dislike Proposition 203.

Medical Marijuana MLM just launched, Interview with “King of Pot” Inside

Medical marijuana is about to hit the big time and one thing is for certain: if meth-heads can master rocket science, then potheads can master social science.

It was only a matter of time before someone would find a way to harness two exploding industries: medical marijuana and network marketing.  That time has arrived.

Banking on the explosive growth potential and legitimacy of the network marketing distribution model, Mary Jane now has her very own Multi-Level Marketing company: MJNA.

MJNA, doing business as The Hemp Network (not to be confused with the Trump Network) is a division of  Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA)

MMI, an Oregon Corporation, was originally founded in March 2009 for the purpose of providing advanced business solutions to the rapidly expanding Medical Marijuana industry.

The Hemp Network “soft launched” on 4/20/2010 and is currently in pre-launch until June 1, 2010.  For a 0 enrollment fee, new distributors will receive 0 worth of hemp products.  

For an Inside The Hemp Network conversation with CEO Bruce Perlowin, visit  http://rodalbers.com/inside-the-hemp-network.

Whether this news leaves you red hot with outrage, or fist-pumping and ‘high’-fiving, set your emotions aside for a moment and consider the mechanics of this decision.  It is sure to spark a blaze that will leave both industries abuzz.   

The network marketing industry clearly doesn’t need another start-up company to legitimize the industry, even though that is happening on a seemingly daily basis.  

While the traditional “corporate America” is failing people at an alarming rate, network marketing is exploding.  

Network marketing is simply the most viable vehicle to realize the “American Dream”, which most think is dead, but in reality has just been misplaced for many by the chatter of those who proclaim, “That’s just the way it has always been.”  

That’s NOT the way it is today, and Medical Marijuana knows it.  

The Medical Marijuana industry needs validation.  They understand, as do many other companies in many other industries, the network marketing model to be the most effective and efficient business model to bring products and services to market.

The Hemp Network is poised to create a “pipeline” wave that will surely take the network marketing industry by storm.  The medical marijuana industry is booming.  Network marketing is booming.

The marriage between the two could be a most magical recipe.

Facts:
- baby boomers have set every buying trend for the last 50 years.  

- baby boomers grew up in the 60’s and 70’s, where marijuana use was at it’s height in the United States.

- doctor’s are recommending it (and prescribing its pill form, Marinol) every day.

Many boomers recognize marijuana as the natural, non-pharmaceutical solution for pain relief and stress.  

The boomer voting block speaks loudly: 14 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana: Alaska, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington and as of January 18, New Jersey.  Illinois and New York are reportedly close.

There has also been a radical shift toward decriminalization of marijuana in recent years.  Barack Obama even supports decriminalization of marijuana.  “I inhaled.  Frequently.  That was the point.” – Barack Obama

Medical Marijuana Inc. gets it.  In fact, here’s how much they get it: The Hemp Network’s compensation plan is based off of the most powerful compensation methodology in the network marketing industry today – the binary.

More people make more money more quickly in the binary compensation model than any other – uni-level and matrix comp plans get smoked by binaries (no pun intended.)  

With The Hemp Network, you will be able to build your tree and smoke it at the same time.

All kidding aside, if you are involved in a company that does not utilize a binary compensation plan, chances are that you are getting smoked, too.  

Momentum, the the most critical aspect of a network marketing compensation plan, sets a binary plan far ahead of the pack.  

The momentum in a binary, especially for a company during its pre-launch and launch phases, is unmatched in the industry and it’s not even close.  After all, this is 2010, not 1910.  Not 1958.  Not 1998.

If someone is trying to convince you differently, kindly ask them to roll up a little of what they’re smoking and pass it over.  

The optimal time to get involved in any network marketing company is during the pre-launch/launch phases.  You want to be in front of the wave, not behind it.  If someone mentions “ground floor opportunity” to you, make sure you can see the wave is still to come and not already gone.

The Hemp Network is a legitimate way to potentially create an extra income stream, which may one day become very lucrative.

I don’t know anyone who couldn’t use an extra income stream.  The U.S. government certainly does, and once they figure out how to make the marijuana industry a primary income stream, The Hemp Network could be the largest millionaire factory the world has ever seen.

If you would like to join The Hemp Network now, during pre-enrollment and secure your spot on the power leg of the binary plan, along with the other 300 distributors who are currently enrolled, visit http://www.thehempnetwork.com/.  You will need to enter my name and phone number as the person who referred you: Rod Albers, 417-872-9921.

At Last! Medical Marijuana Bill Gets to Washington, D.C.!

It seems unbelievable, but medical marijuana might soon be making its way towards the capital of the USA, although it’s been repeatedly rejected by Congress throughout the years of research. Hopefully, soon medical marijuana doctors will celebrate the victory of their efforts as well as will people, whose only hope is medical marijuana treatment.

Back in 1998, Washington electors placed themselves next to the leading edge of the initiating movement of medical marijuana, when they polled about 3-7 for physician prescribed drug, which is now known as the medicine obtaining via a Medical Marijuana Card. This was a much larger number of people than in any of the other 8 statewide vote initiatives, which have been maintained throughout the country. But no festive smoking have then followed, at least not yet. In place, ballot workers expended that vote night disguising the voting results, in protection from a last-minute amendment of the congress drawing assets from Washington, D.C. for the consideration of any initiative of drug certification. By the way, the election bulletins were printed before the prohibition, but it was decided by the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics that to pursue the purpose of the law, the results must be kept back after the votes are figured.

However, 12 years later the political scenery seems to be significantly different. Bob Barr, the sponsor of the ‘98 congressional prohibition has gone the entire way from a drug hunter to a libertarian, a foremost fighter for medical marijuana legalization. He even wrote a law-lobbying once. 14 states have made medical marijuana legal since the time California did it first. There are some more states moving in this direction. In December 2009, the Barr Amendment was silently lifted by the Congress, which was already dominated by Democrats. This gave Washington an opportunity to activate its old drug law. Several weeks later, David Catania, a member of city council, moved to introduce a bill that would enact Initiative 59, and had 9 of 13 council members supporting it. He states that it is his concern, since the evidence he saw proves a powerful medical preference of marijuana, which can improve appetite and lessen pains. With this issue going to a federal level, medical marijuana doctors and medical marijuana clinic workers will soon breathe a sigh of relief. David Catania also says that the details of the policy still have to be arranged – medical marijuana clinic quantity to allow, should they be private or non-profit, which diseases medical marijuana card will be available for, where the plant will be cultivated, etc. He tends towards a more limited realization, understanding that any legal-marijuana law might be removed by following governments.

Catania also believes that such a system could make 5-10 non-profit medical marijuana clinics around the city, which would at least need to be 1,000 ft. away from parks, schools, and other medical marijuana clinics. Los Angeles has had hundreds of medical marijuana clinics, which were privately owned and had a 500 foot rule for years. But the L.A. city council enacted an amended drug law several hours after Washington, D.C. enacted its own, applying its 1,000 ft. rule and reducing the medical marijuana dispensary number to about 150. The D.C. city council spokesman states that the bill is probable to get approved by the Congress by the summer’s end.

Multiple researches have found medical marijuana to be efficient in curing nausea, improving appetite in cancer and AIDS patients and acting as a pain reliever, alongside with other effects. The AMA – American Medical Association – initiates for continuous well-managed and adequate researches of marijuana and associated cannabinoids in patients in its policy statement, which takes a thorough stance on the matter.

Certain Initiative 59 leading activists are same as contradictory, even though they’ve almost achieved some kind of light at the tunnel’s end. The electoral bloc of recreational marijuana smokers is probable to be even less interested, in case Catania does what he’s intended to do. Catania says that he doesn’t see this as an opportunity to widely legalize marijuana for recreational employment and he also says that he doesn’t support the use of medical marijuana “for anxiety or hangnails.” He rather says that this bill is meant to provide medical marijuana to those, who are severely ill
