Starting Early

I honestly don't know what to say to this one...

A 19 year old Jacksonville women is under investigation after posting this picture of her 11 mo old son smoking a bong on her Facebook page. The woman told police the picture was a joke, and that the "TOBACCO" pipe was empty. Looks like it has smoke in it to me, even looks like the baby is inhaling (note the bubbles where the smoke meets the water) And I thought I started smoking young.


Here's some news coverage of the story. And although any substance around a child is wrong, it's funny how the reporters condone taking a picture with a beer bottle, but death to thee with a bong. That's the kind of thinking we need to change.



Here's the same story with a Wisconsin woman. Actually has video of the child smoking the joint. There are some crazy people out there.

A Reason to Fly

A customs official at LAX was terminated last Wednesday after he stashed marijuana in a customer's luggage to demonstrate the effectiveness of a drug sniffing dog. A harmless educational game of fetch, except the dog failed to find the planted goods!

The official later admitted he had failed to record which bag it was in, and once passed on the carousel, could not pick out that particular bag. After the TSA blunder, a passenger left with a free bag of marijuana. Embarrassed customs officials urged for the passenger who found it to return it to the source, haha...right.

52 Year Old Arrested for Reporting His Dealer

A 52 year old Kentucky man was arrested last Thursday for the possession of marijuana, after trying to report his dealer for fraud, due to the "absolutely mediocre" quality of the drug provided. "He told me it was mids, then gave me a bag full of mexican boot scrapings. I can't smoke this stuff, I'll get a headache. You should be arresting him for running a fraudulent business." he argued while being arrested. The man, from Lexington, was refused a refund from his dealer, whereupon he took it up with the police who in turn charged him for his own crime - despite the "fraudulent" product he had been sold. Stand up for your rights, say no to SCWAG!

2,700 Year Old Pot Stash Found

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 fiber for clothing or as food, says a research paper in the Journal of Experimental Botany.

The 789 grams (DAMN!) 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 extremely dry conditions and alkaline soil acted as preservatives, allowing a team of scientists to carefully analyze the stash, which still looked green though it had lost its distinctive odor.

Remnants of cannabis have been found in ancient Egypt and other sites, and the substance has been referred to by authors such as the Greek historian Herodotus, but the tomb stash is the oldest so far that could be thoroughly tested.

The 18 researchers, most of them based in China, subjected the cannabis to a battery of tests, including carbon dating and genetic analysis. Scientists also tried to germinate 100 of the seeds found in the cache, without success.

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 region of China where the tomb is located, Xinjiang, is considered an original source of many cannabis strains worldwide.

Happy 4th of July!!!
