Marihemp Network - CANNABIS.COM Announcements for Feb-17-2005

We apologize for sending so few announcements, but we have been extra busy
working these past few months on improving and adding new features.


The CANNABIS.COM Message Boards are now more popular than ever - nearly a
thousand new messages posted every day! With over 11,000 active members -
all in just about one year; it's growing like a weed! A big thank you to
everyone who participates there - for those who don't, check it out now!

CANNABIS.COM is just one of several websites in the Marihemp Network.

The Marihemp Network has its own popular message board system with tens of
thousands of members, and nearly a million posts dating back over 7 years
to January 1998!

We are pleased to announce our support, including the purchase of
advertising, of Cannabis Health Magazine - it's a relatively new, but
rapidly expanding publication ... below is an excerpt from their homepage:

"Cannabis Health Magazine is the voice and the new image of the
responsible cannabis user. The publication treats cannabis as one plant
and offers balanced coverage of cannabis hemp and cannabis marijuana.
Special attention is given to the therapeutic health benefits of this
plant made medicine. Regular contributors offer the latest on the evolving
Canadian cannabis laws, politics, and regulations..."

Now for something a bit different ... rarely, do I mention much about
myself, but I will today, since it's cannabis related topic and will be
very interesting to many folks:

There was just a stamp auction, this past Saturday Feb-12th, in New York
City, of revenue tax stamps, including 200 various "lots" of U.S. federal
marihuana tax revenue stamps.

NY Times: Stamps for Sinners and Other Taxpayers
http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread20224.shtml

Here's an excerpt: "The liveliest interest has been in the marijuana
stamps, which were used starting in 1937 when the Marihuana Tax Act was
passed to control, and, some say, outlaw, the use of cannabis. Only a few
such stamps are known to be in private collectors' hands. The stamps,
which are yellow, blue, green and red, are being sold singly and in
sheets."

The stamps themselves are no longer usable, since the U.S. Supreme Court
ruled the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 unconstitutional, in the case Timothy
Leary v United States in 1969 - that in large part led to the Control
Substance Act in 1970 that placed cannabis in Schedule I

Despite that, the stamps themselves are a neat piece of history. While
some people are aware of various related *state* tax stamps, most folks
are surprised to hear that *federal* marihuana tax stamps even existed;
gets people inquiring and thinking about the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 and
its related history; the drug war in general.

Below is a link to pictures similar to the lots I purchased:

I paid nearly $15,000 USD for the three lots I purchased ... are you still interested? :D

In regards to the email - the Marihemp Network / CANNABIS.COM Announcement list has existed since around 1999. This message board only existed since last year and thus many folks here were not aware of any such announcement list until they received the email today.

Only about a dozen email announcements are sent out each year - it's very low volume.

The boards are very reliable, but with the nature of the internet, it helps to have multiple ways of keeping in touch with others here - also a great way to remind folks who haven't visited for awhile that the boards are still here; provide updates, etc.
