When I woke up just before 6 am on the bricks of City Hall last Saturday and realized that I made it through the night safely I was relieved in a way I'd never felt before! My thought process went something like this..."omgosh, I didn't get arrested, YAY!!! Haha! I can't believe it! This is so awesome! Its like I proved that old quote that says, 'When the people fear their governments there is tyranny, and when the government fears the people, there is liberty!' MAN its cold out here, and wow my back hurts!" Then I rolled up my ...
I launched LaRoach.com on August 1st of this year with the intent to post news weekly if not daily. In the early morning hours of August 14th one of my closest friends committed suicide and to be honest I don't have a clue when or if I will ever get back to the goal of posting news daily on LR. I am sorry to those who had high hopes (no pun intended) for this site's quick rise to success and I hope that you will be patient as I instead take it slowly; day by day. Its no secret (or ...
I have been blessed to meet Elvy Musikka on a number of occasions and I can testify to her pure, altruistic, and compassionate character! Her story is the perfect example of the hypocrisy that the Federal Government bleeds in regard to marijuana as medicine. The US Department of Human Services owns the only patent on cannabinoids (the beneficial compound found in both the cannabis plant and our bodies) as a neuroprotectant and antioxidant. It was the Federal Government (under Nixon's administration) who first discovered that cannabinoids from marijuana kills cancer cells!

By now everyone who is more aware than the masses has seen the documentary that came out in 2008 "Run from the Cure; the Rick Simpson Story" and if not than please find the time to view the 58 minute documentary. Rick Simpson learned that cannabinoids kill cancer cells safely, so he figured out an extraction method and started using it to "cure" his own various cancers, then his family and friends, and then community at large. It wasn't long after this movie was made before he became a political refugee and is now a global hero for his activism ...
