Don't Flush

2011-01-13T10:43:53.575-08:00

If the cops come while you're dropping one, don't flush after you wipe or they'll bust in the door to save the evidence they think you might be trying to destroy. The Supreme Court is signaling they'll give law enforcement the green light if they do. Mark Sherman has the low down.

I Have To Rethink My Whole Way of Life

If Pat Robertson is for legalization, than doesn't that make it wrong? I'm so confused.

Run Uncle Jessie, Run

2010-11-28T22:11:00.823-08:00

This guy, John Robert Boone, is a legendary Kentucky outlaw who disappeared two years ago just before Roscoe P. Coltrane and Boss Hogg showed up at his farm to seize 2,400 marijuana plants. Look at him. He's totally Uncle Jessie, right? At any rate, Uncle Jessie, I mean, Boone, faces a life sentence because he's already been convicted twice for growing weed. Life! What a bunch of shit.[...]

Stop Arresting Willie Nelson

2010-11-27T22:10:35.254-08:00

Seriously, if you arrest Willie Nelson for pot possession, you are an asshole. That is like arresting a little kid for having joy in their heart. Like arresting a unicorn for anything. It's not fair. You know the dude has some. It's not sportsmanlike. Please, leave Willie be.

Shit.

There's a Cheeseburger Here Man!

People, please, know you're geography. In Florida, you do not want to have weed in your car at any time. The cops there are very active. Points for originality though. Attempting to swallow a bag chased with a double cheeseburger is a real nice try.

When are they going to leave Willie alone?

The World's Oldest Stash

2008-11-29T13:04:53.808-08:00

(image) From The Toronto Sun
(via Current.com):

Researchers say they have located the world's oldest stash of marijuana, in a tomb in a remote part of China.

The cache of cannabis is about 2,700 years old and was clearly "cultivated for psychoactive purposes," rather than as fibre for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

The 789 grams of dried cannabis was buried alongside a light-haired, blue-eyed Caucasian man, likely a shaman of the Gushi culture, near Turpan in northwestern China.
[...]
The marijuana was found to have a relatively high content of THC, the main active ingredient in cannabis, but the sample was too old to determine a precise percentage.

Researchers also could not determine whether the cannabis was smoked or ingested, as there were no pipes or other clues in the tomb of the shaman, who was about 45 years old.

The large cache was contained in a leather basket and in a wooden bowl, and was likely meant to be used by the shaman in the afterlife.

"This materially is unequivocally cannabis, and no material has previously had this degree of analysis possible," Russo said in an interview from Missoula, Mont.

"It was common practice in burials to provide materials needed for the afterlife. No hemp or seeds were provided for fabric or food. Rather, cannabis as medicine or for visionary purposes was supplied."

The tomb also contained bridles, archery equipment and a harp, confirming the man's high social standing.

Russo is a full-time consultant with GW Pharmaceuticals, which makes Sativex, a cannabis-based medicine approved in Canada for pain linked to multiple sclerosis and cancer.

So, Skip asks - with all this irrefutable scientific evidence that humans have been using cannabis for millenia, and no credible evidence that it's harmful, when are they going to legalize it?

...You should ever get busted

(image) But if you do, here's a link that provides tons of good legal advise for you and your attorney. In fact, you should read it anyway, in order to reduce the chances that you ever do get pinched. From the good folk at 420 magazine.com.

Thanks for the tips boys - now if you'd just pass that fatty while it's still big enough to get a grip on without roach clips, please.

...Aaahh!! Thanks!

Here, Have Some Weed

2008-12-08T21:26:44.171-08:00

Is this a blunder by Japanese security, or a promotional program trying to increase tourism to Tokyo? Airport security planted a bag of pot in a passenger's suitcase, (which they're not supposed to do) in a training exercise for the sniffer dogs. Makes it harder for the dogs if they aren't using the same suitcase every time after all. Come to think of it the dogs have no way of knowing whether they're being rewarded for detecting pot or a certain type of Samsonite. Anyway the dogs couldn't find the bag, and the trainer couldn't remember which piece of luggage he planted it in. Some passenger got home, started unpacking and found a freebie in the side pocket.(image)

Frank to Propose Pot Decriminalization

2008-12-08T21:26:44.360-08:00

(image) Last week on Real Time with Bill Maher Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank announced that he would introduce a bill to decriminalize pot. The name of the bill is priceless. It's called the "Make Room For The Serious Criminals Bill".

From NORML:

“It's time for the politicians to catch up with the public on this [issue],” Frank said. "The notion that you lock people up for smoking marijuana is pretty silly."

Frank's pending bill seeks to eliminate all federal penalties prohibiting the personal use and possession of up to 100 grams (3 1/2 ounces) of marijuana. Under this measure, adults who consume cannabis would no longer face arrest, prison, or even the threat of a civil fine. The bill also eliminates all penalties prohibiting the not-for-profit transfers of up to one ounce of pot.

NORML Legal Counsel Keith Stroup, who worked closely with Frank's staff to draft this legislation, said, "If passed by Congress, this legislation would legalize the possession, use, and non-profit transfer of marijuana by adults for the first time since 1937." The bill incorporates the basic recommendation of the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse (also known as the Shafer Commission).

When I watched this my first thought was to laugh it off because there's no way this will ever work. Was he high when he said this? I thought. I was high when I watched it and I even knew he had to be high to think this will work.

But after a little more thought I realized that he wasn't just talking out of his bong. This is a brilliant long term strategy. Getting this through the House will be tough--and it won't even get a vote in the senate--but it would be the first significant progress on drug law reform in ages.

Even if it doesn't get a vote, I love the sentiment. Thank you Barney Frank. If you ever come to El Paso, I'll pass you one.
