Looking to Score Legal Marijuana? Check Your iPhone

Smoking marijuana is known to have an adverse effect on memory and concentration, but now, thanks to a new iPhone application, even the foggiest of users should be able to locate their connection -- make that medicinal marijuana provider -- with relative ease.

Launched by AJNAG (Activists Justifying the Natural Agriculture of Ganja), a Web-based community advocating for medical marijuana, the Cannabis app takes those seeking medicinal marijuana through the entire process of obtaining it. The app is downloadable from Apple's store for $2.99.

"Our goal is to put the power of cannabis change in your pocket while you enjoy the most sticky and potent iPhone application available!" the founders say in a statement on their Web site.

Here's how it works. The application displays an interactive map dotted with doctors who can prescribe medicinal marijuana treatment for their patients.

It also shows -- after, presumably, users have procured prescriptions -- the medicinal marijuana suppliers within the users' vicinity. And, what's more, the application includes a database of lawyers who specialize in marijuana-related cases, in should users encounter skeptical local authorities.

5. I wish it were legal in Florida. A friend's father is dying of colon cancer

he'd have a fighting chance if he would eat, but he has no appetite and just isn't forcing himself. He's gone downhill fast since Sunday. I suggested weed as a possible solution to the family and they were adamantly against it (Christian fundamentalists). So he would rather die and they would rather lose him than to do something illegal that might at least give them more time together. Sick world we live in!

8. Here in New Hampshire, the allegedly-Democratic governor is standing in the way of medical marijuana

He has "some issues" with the bill as passed by our actually-Democratic
House and Senate, even though they compromised the bill like crazy to
please him.
