Long lines to buy legal weed in California
Long lines to buy legal weed in California. Yes folks, the California government wants you to be stoned and disarmed so you don’t mess with their illegal alien voters.
Vermont’s Senate candidate demonstrates why marijuana shouldn’t be legalized
This may look and sound like a Saturday Night Live skit, but it’s for real. This is Chris Erickson, candidate for the U.S. Senate representing Vermont’s Marijuana Party.

Seriously. Vermont has a Marijuana Party, which goes a long way toward explaining the phrase “Vermont Governor Howard Dean.”
The only way this commercial could be better is if the candidate’s name had been Mary Jane.

Pitt hot for pot except when he’s not
Brad Pitt showed up on Bill Maher’s show the other night to show the world that you don’t have to be stoned to be incoherent. He seems to have taken diametrically opposed positions on the same issue – pot.
Brad Pitt showed up on Bill Maher’s show the other night to show the world that you don’t have to be stoned to be incoherent. He seems to have taken diametrically opposed positions on the same issue – pot.
Early in the interview, Maher asks Pitt about the rumors that he’s going to run for mayor of New Orleans.
“They were asking about running for mayor, which has been a T-shirt in New Orleans,” Pitt responded, “and I said something to the extent of, ‘No religion, legalization and taxation of pot and pro-gay marriage.’ Which is basically the Bill Maher going straight to hell campaign.” (1:10 to 1:48)
Later, Maher asks Pitt why he gave up pot and the movie star replied, “I’m a dad now and you want to be alert.”
(Time: 3:51 to 5:15)
The way we understand this genius’ position, it’s OK to smoke yourself senseless up to the moment you become a father. Maybe even light up a fatty and pass it around the delivery room while you’re becoming a father.
Yup, looks this guy’s dumb enough to succeed Ray Nagin as mayor of New Orleans.
Just say yes, California
A bill introduced by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-People’s Republic of San Francisco) “would impose not only sales taxes but a $50 per ounce fee on marijuana sales.”
It’s been suggested by a California Assemblyman that California could tax away its budget problems if only it would legalize marijuana.
The State Board of Equalization’s analysis says California could net $1.4 billion by taxing legal pot.
According to the Sacramento Bee, the bill introduced by Assemblyman Tom Ammiano (D-People’s Republic of San Francisco) “would impose not only sales taxes but a $50 per ounce fee on marijuana sales, which would be licensed by the state much as alcoholic beverages are regulated…”
“We can no longer afford to keep our heads in the sand when it comes to marijuana,” Ammiano said in a statement.
“I’m friggin’ starving,” he reportedly added. “Are you going to finish those pork rinds? How about those cupcakes? And your Fritos look delicious.”

UC Santa Cruz students launch hunger strike, battle the munchies
As you can see in this video, a group of students has launched a hunger strike to protest Governor Schwartzenegger’s budget cuts. This seems short sighted, considering the fact that UC Santa Cruz has a well-deserved reputation as the marijuana capital of California.
The hunger strike vs the munchies. Which one will win?

Obama’s internet town hall quickly goes to pot
“There was one question that was voted on that ranked fairly high. That was whether legalizing marijuana would improve the economy and job creation,” Obama chuckled. “I don’t know what this says about the online audience.”
“This was a fairly popular question. We want to make sure it was answered. The answer is no, I don’t think that is a good strategy to grow our economy,” he said to a laughing East Room audience.
More than 90,000 questions were submitted to the White House website. Forget energy, the economy, terror, and healthcare. Seven of the 10 questions receiving the most votes revolved around the legalizing pot.
As usual, President Obama blew smoke. But for once his audience appreciated it.

The Audacity of Dope. Obama’s brother busted for pot.
George Obama, half-brother of President Barack Obama, has been arrested and charged him with marijuana possession.
This is the same half-brother who several months ago was found to be living in a small shack in the slums of Nairobi. At the time, he said his annual income was less than $20.
The officer in charge of the investigation said Obama was arrested on charges of possession of cannabis (or “bhang” as its known in Kenya) and resisting arrest. He is scheduled to arraigned on Monday.
“They took me from my home,” he said from his jail cell, “I don’t know why they are charging me.”
“If Timothy Geithner can cheat on his taxes and become Secretary of the Treasury,” George could have said, “this should qualify me to become head of the Drug Enforcement Administration. I can start as soon as the trial is over.”
