Houston Cops Accused Of Eating Evidence During Marijuana Arrest

Three officers face accusations of getting high on duty from eating pot brownies they found during an arrest. A police report says officers found marijuana, hallucinogenic mushrooms, weapons, and cash when they arrested Nicholas Hill in May, according to NBC San Diego. Hill says the officers took baked goods containing marijuana – allegedly eating them on the spot – and his defense lawyer said that transcripts from in-car computers provide evidence. Part of that transcript reads as follows: Officer 1: “So HIGH… Good munchies.” Officer 2: “Everything should be open [Continue Reading]

Russia May Legalize Hemp Production This Week

Russia may soon authorize the cultivation of hemp for agricultural and industrial needs, Russia’s Federal Drug Control Service said on Friday. On September 28, the country’s State Anti-drug Committee will decide whether to allow the cultivation of hemp, currently prohibited in Russia. Russia was a world leading producer of hemp, used as a source of oil, food, fibers, housing and industrial materials, until 1961 when the Soviet Union ratified the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs which declared cannabis – along with heroin – a highly toxic narcotic. Russia is [Continue Reading]

TWB Commentary: One Of These Kids Is Doing Their Own Thing

“This shouldn’t be an issue” is what comes to mind when I heard about Joe Jonas’s alleged pot smoking in a NY Club. Unfortunately if you’re an entertainer/athlete anything you do will make news but smoking pot shouldn’t be one of them. Since there’s an evil stigma passed on throughout the years, anybody famous (especially child actors that aren’t children anymore) are considered reckless for smoking pot. Kind of reminds me of when Joe (a.k.a Steve Burns) left Blue’s Clues (to the dismay of millions of parents, to pursue his [Continue Reading]

Cheech and Chong Pitching 'Magic Brownies' For General Mills

Cheech and Chong are back, and they’re pitching “magic brownies” — for General Mills. The stars of 1980s stoner comedies are featured in a funny promotion for Fiber One brownies, a new high-fiber snack targeted at aging baby boomers. The online-only commercial resembles a movie trailer, and the twist comes at the end: the “magic” ingredient turns out to be fiber, not marijuana. “Fiber — because now that you’re getting older, you need a new kind of magic from your brownies,” the announcer says. Cheech’s response: “This is the weirdest [Continue Reading]

Oregon Medical Marijuana Law Needs To Be Clarified

Medical marijuana is legal in Oregon — or at least it’s supposed to be. After all, the Oregon Medical Marijuana Act permits marijuana to be grown, possessed and used for medical purposes. Why, then, did prosecutors in Washington County bring charges against the owner of a marijuana dispensary who was, essentially, just doing her job? In August 2011, Kathleen O’Shea Cambron pleaded guilty to two counts of delivery of marijuana and received a sentence of three years on probation. This article will examine the issue of medical marijuana in Oregon. [Continue Reading]
