…but even though the actual patent itself, the government, many meteorologists and other prominent scientists have said so, you’re a scientifically unjustified conspiracy theorist if you do.

ROUND ROCK, TX (KEYE/CNN) — A Texas man accused of making and selling marijuana brownies is facing up to life in prison if convicted.
That’s because officials in Round Rock have charged him with a first-degree felony.
It’s a move that the man’s family and attorney outraged.
“It’s outrageous. It’s crazy. I don’t understand it,” Joe Lavoro, the man’s father said.
Like many familiar with the case, Joe does not understand why his son is in so much legal trouble.
The first of what may be many court appearances for Jacob Lavoro was Thursday morning.
The 19-year-old is accused of making and selling pot brownies.
He’s charged with a first degree felony.
“Five years to life? I’m sorry. I’m a law abiding citizen. I’m a conservative. I love my country. I’m a Vietnam veteran, but I’ll be ****ed. This is wrong. This is ***n wrong!” the father said.
Lavoro’s lawyer agrees.
“I was outraged. I’ve been doing this 22 years as a lawyer and I’ve got 10 years as a police officer and I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Jack Holmes, Lavoro’s attorney said.
The former high school football player has a clean record.

Dr. Wil has given me permission to post an article that will be published soon in Tesla Tech Magazine. It is a very succinct article that promotes the truth that personal health and empowerment begins with personal responsibility and education. Understanding how we actually function, and how brilliant that function is is of primary importance in knowing how to care for yourself.
This article will appear in the next Tesla Tech magizine;
We live in a world run by corporations. Corporate machines, with little, or no regard for natural, organic existence, methodically serving their own agendas, have systemically and adversely impacted the quality of life on the whole planet Earth.
The food chain has been severely deficient of minerals for over 100 years. The natural balance of beneficial microorganisms is destroyed. The understanding of what constitutes a healthy diet has long been corrupted along with the innate wisdom of the body to know what is good.
Junk corporate science and medicine does not acknowledge these critical factors. Much less can it even admit the impact of things like genetic modifications, atmospheric aerosol spraying, including a plethora of biological laboratory experiments accidentally released into the environment, weather modification, systemic industrial wastes, pollution, pesticides, artificially injected serum vaccines, petroleum and petrochemical spills and releases, to name a few, and the progressively more invasive and disrupting electronic frequency smog.
While alternative approaches to conventional health, healing and dietary choices do exist and are increasing, they are largely based on junk science and nearly void of natural law, rendering them ineffective, or at best a panacea of symptom relief.
It is true that at the quantum level there is nothing but energy. We really are energy beings and frequency, or energy healing not only makes sense, it may be the fastest growing healing modality in practice. However, there are several factors to the concept of energy healing that are not being considered which are key factors necessary for sustainable and lasting benefits.
The body flows its energy through meridians, much like electricity flows through the wiring of a house, with circuits and sub-circuits guiding the life force to animate and bring health and immunity to all parts of the organism. This is according to the blueprint of nature’s design.
Energy and frequency healing, whether performed manually or by utilizing a device, happens one of two ways. It is either working to correct and realign damaged and imperfect circuits in a body, or it is working to disrupt the frequency providing life force to a pathogenic invader occupying space within the body. In either case, if the treatment worked according to theory, which, by the way it does, then why is the healing not achieved when the healing work is applied? In our opinion energy work is the mechanical correction that should resolve the issue in short order. There are some very good reasons why that is not usually the case.
First and foremost, we cannot disregard the fact that we are a consciousness of pure energy existing, at least for the moment, inside a much denser energy vehicle called the body. This vehicle is so dense that we experience it as 3 dimensional solid form. It is also a symbiotic construct which, in order to perform correctly and have the ability to sustain its energy flow, or chi, has a number of 3 dimensional solid form requirements. In the existing environment on this planet almost none of those requirements are being met. With the existing food chain, the body is running on very low energy levels from malnutrition, pollution, and disease in the form of damage from incorrect low level nutrition, as well as the thousands of pathogens, many of which are just doing their natural function of recycling dead, dying, and damaged tissue in our sick bodies.
So, in order to receive and sustain benefit, or lasting benefit from energy, or frequency healing, the body needs to be able to sustain a frequency compatible with a healthy, vibrant existence. It doesn’t work to artificially apply the healthy frequency to a body that cannot sustain that frequency on its own. In that case, as soon as the outside source of frequency is removed, the body will begin to revert to a level compatible for a homeostasis it can sustain, which is where it was before the treatment.
The same is true when applying frequencies designed to kill invading pathogens. If the solid form 3 D environment is not corrected for sustainability, once the pathogens are killed and the frequency is ended, the environment that allowed the organisms to become pathogenic in the first place will again allow a pathogenic overgrowth.
Like a worn out guitar string that can no longer remain in tune, a body that is amino acid and mineral deficient, and pathogenically overloaded, with an internal environment that is extremely toxic, cannot be tuned to hold the resonance of the electrical therapy harmonics of energy or frequency healing.
Replacing the guitar string is actually a simple process once the basic principals are understood. The difficulty lies in altering ones perceptions and allowing the necessary changes to happen. Belief is one of our most subtle energetic functions and the most powerful influence on our condition of overall health.
The harmonics of belief resonate in the entire body all the time and they determine the resonance of daily life. The majority of our beliefs are subconscious and influence our automatic responses, opinions, judgments, fears and the like.
A large portion of the embedded subconscious beliefs that govern much of who we are, could be said to not even be our own. They are implanted in cellular memory and reinforced as the memories are passed from cell to cell through generations who inherit them and pass them on to us. The harmonics of belief can both sabotage and enhance a healing session. They can block the manifestation of a healed condition. Conversely, they can block disease. We all possess inside us the frequencies that define our very consciousness at the energetic level. By reconnecting with this subconscious blueprint, and by providing the corporeal body with the components it needs to assemble these frequencies, we each become our own perfect frequency generators.
Vibrant Health is the remedy for all disease. It begins with a diet that is correct for humans, rather than a corporate structure for profit. Augmenting the diet by replacing the elements that are no longer available in the food chain will reverse malnutrition. Steps can then be taken to kill pathogenic overgrowth while a physical transition takes place in which natural strength and immunity are restored. Then, in a Vibrant condition of health, energy healing and harmonic frequency therapies offer optimal benefit to the body, the body responds well and sustains the beneficial improvement. Additionally, health and wellness are sustained naturally so that frequency therapies can be applied for personal enhancement and the restoration of the vibrant consciousness to enable us all to manifest ourselves as the most complete divine creation that we were all intended to be.
The state’s Department of Revenue reports that marijuana retailers sold nearly $19 million in recreational weed in March, up from $14 million in February. The first three months of legal weed have netted about $7.3 million in taxes, not including medical marijuana sales taxes and licenses, which bring the number to $12.6 million. In it’s first few months, Colorado could already soon be outpacing those historic first-day sales on a daily basis.
Retail marijuana sales taxes brought in $1.4 million in January, $1.43 million in February and now $1.898 million in March — a clear upward trajectory. And total marijuana tax transfers and distributions went from $2.927 million in January to $4.077 million in March. And perhaps more importantly, while it’s still somewhat early, the up-trending numbers indicate that initial sales weren’t simply the result of “new-toy” excitement wherein everyone was buying pot just because they could. Coloradans wanted marijuana before, and they still do now.
(Un)intended consequences: Over the same time period, crime in Denver has slightly declined, making opponents who said it would result in more trafficking seem kind of silly. It’s created a modest number of jobs ranging from “budtending” and marijuana journalism to farm labor and ownership. (Weedmaps, a dispensary review site, grossed some $25 million in revenue in 2013.) And the state has even created a banking system that complies with the U.S. treasury system’s guidelines, clearing up the last regulatory questions. While certain parts of the rollout, like edible cannabis regulations, have come under question, the law seems to be operating basically as intended.
Legal cannabis sales in the United States are projected to reach as high as $2.57 billion this year, split among the 21 states that allow the sale of some form of marijuana. That’s up from $1.53 billion a year ago. As time goes on, the marijuana industry will grow its own stakeholders and perhaps become a political lobby in its own right.
How it’ll be spent: The Colorado legislature has already formed a plan to spend $33 million of the marijuana taxes on school nurses and public education on marijuana. Even Colorado cops plan to get a chunk of the new revenue, asking for 10-15% of the proceeds for DUI enforcement and fighting diversion to other states and unlicensed sales.
VANCOUVER — Just five weeks after Ottawa outlawed B.C.’s cottage industry of cannabis dispensaries, one of them has just opened Canada’s first marijuana vending machine.
“Half an ounce for $50, which is unthinkable in the city,” said local hip hop artist Ray Gill, speaking Monday in a YouTube video promoting the new machine. “It’s like they’re just giving it away!”
The machine is operated by the B.C. Pain Society, a recently opened medical marijuana dispensary located a few blocks from the heart of Vancouver’s hip Commercial Drive district.
Society director Chuck Varabioff worked in vending machines before he went into medical marijuana, so the machine was a natural marriage, he said.
“It’s safe, it’s secure and your product does not get contaminated,” said Mr. Varabioff.
“Most other dispensaries in town, you don’t know what that product is getting contaminated with — which is a big issue for sick people.”
Mr. Varabioff’s creation, decorated in a pot leaf motif, contains a cross-section of popular pot strains, from Cotton Candy to Lemon Haze to MK Ultra.
For $20 the customer gets a “sealed, tamper-proof” bag containing an eighth of an ounce (enough for about half a dozen joints). And, as indicated in the video by Mr. Gill, half-ounce bags go for $50.
Two re-purposed gumball machines also offer smaller quantities of marijuana at $4 and $6 increments.
The machines, like the various marijuana products offered at the Society’s nearby retail counter, are only open to licensed medical marijuana users.
A waist-high fence separates the machines from the location’s public area, and to enter the fenced-off zone customers must flash a card confirming that they have received a doctor’s prescription for the drug.
Within the space of 20 minutes on a Wednesday afternoon, three customers came in to use the new machine: A woman who appeared to be in her early twenties, a woman with a slight limp and an older man in a dress shirt.
“It’s a convenience thing for regular customers to come in and say ‘I know what I want, I can avoid the lineup, come right up to the machine, put my $20 in, grab my baggie and go; bada bing, bada boom, done,’” said Justin Johnson, a licensed medical marijuana user who uses the drug to treat lower back pain.
Another perk: the B.C. Pain Society does not keep tabs on how much product its customers are buying.
“We’re not interested in what they’re buying; that’s up to them,” said a clerk. “Whereas Health Canada growers, they keep track.”
The B.C. Pain Society does not disclose the exact source of its marijuana, other than to say that it comes from the Vancouver area, is inspected in-house and does not come from drug traffickers.
“All of our product is sourced from confidential sources,” said Mr. Varabioff. “That’s pretty much all I can say about that.”
According to Health Canada, the B.C. Pain Society’s whole setup is illegal. As per legislation that came into force on April 1, Canada’s only source for legal medical marijuana is a small network of large-scale, for-profit growers certified by the health agency.
But the B.C. Pain Society, like all of the other dispensaries in the Vancouver area, keeps its doors open thanks to what many proprietors openly call a “legal gray area.”
The Vancouver Police’s official stance is that while medical marijuana dispensaries are indeed illegal, raiding them is far from its top priority.
In a March press release, the Vancouver Police Drug Unit said it would continue to focus on targeting “violent gang members” and other operations that pose a “danger to the public.”
“For the most part, medical marijuana dispensaries operating today in Vancouver do not meet these criteria,” it said, noting that they were just as illegal before the rule change.
The B.C. Pain Society vending machine is only the latest unorthodox vending machine to show up in Vancouver.
Last October, a Waves coffee shop became the site of the world’s first bitcoin ATM. A few months later, it emerged that a crack pipe vending machine had been operating at a harm reduction facility run by the Portland Hotel Society, a Downtown Eastside non-profit since roiled by spending scandals.
And while the B.C. Pain Society’s marijuana vending machine is a Canadian first, it narrowly lost the global title to Colorado, a state that legalized recreational marijuana in 2012.
