Blunt Notes

Putting the “wacky’ back into “wacky tabacky.”

At the very end of the article we find…

Two of the authors of the study were invited experts on the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs Cannabis Review in 2005. Several authors reported being paid to attend drug company-sponsored meetings related to marijuana, and one received consulting fees from companies that make anti-psychotic medications.

As someone who was on prescription meds, specifically SSRi’s for years I find this laughable. Going off of SSRI’s (especially Effexor) made me go through the worst withdrawals of my life, and for that matter my imagination.

Of course psychiatrists and drug companies will tell you they are not technically addictive since rats don’t seek out more of the substance in lab tests. Instead stopping it just leads to something known as “SSRI Withdrawal Syndrome.” Great, good to know I’m not technically going through withdrawal but rather suffering from a brand new, unprecedentedly painful condition. Huzzah!

Unusual bust in Maryland.

The three other girls in the car, ages 14, 16 and 17, were all charged as juveniles and released to their parents.

Is it strange that I really want to see pics?

Police said Summer Rockenbaugh, 19, of Thurmont, was pulled over along Interstate 70 when police noticed the car weaving between lanes.

Is it strange I’m going to go look for her mugshot? I hope I am not disappointed. Here’s some hot drug felons for you in the mean time…

Viva Zapata!

I would not kick her out of bed for exposing me to a harboring a federal fugitive charge.

She can launder my monetary instrument any day! EH FELLAS! EH? ::nudge nudge::

Marijuana MILF (sorry I had to brahs).

And one for the ladies…dashing.

Your welcome.

Pop stars smoking (or eating) teh herb!

Sputnik also feared to be behind recent flying saucer sightings.

To be fair as near as I can tell this was only news in Ireland, but I hold myself responsible for blogging the first things that pop into my head while stoned.

Giuliani came out against medical marijuana.

“I believe the effort to try and make marijuana available for medical uses is really a way to legalize it.

And so what if it is dick?

“You can accomplish everything you want to accomplish with things other than marijuana, probably better. There are pain medications much superior to marijuana,” he said.”

This is true in the sense you can get A LOT more fucked up off pain killers then marijuana. You can also get a lot more cold sweats and nausea.

“We’d be much better off telling people the truth. Marijuana adds nothing to the array of legal medications and prescription medications that are available for pain relief.”

::pops his Percs, washes them down with vodka::

“The September 11th attacks have nothing to do with American foreign policy”

Nothing to do with marijuana but I thought I’d add that to help flesh out the larger picture.

…speaks for itself. I say he knows how to make the mug shot thing work.

Article here about the bust of a grow house situated in an former church.

I’m sure it seemed like a good idea at a time, after all who would suspect an old church of hosting a grow op? But if you ever get caught utilizing a present/former church (or school) it is very likely to cause some media notice, and that will without fail lead to an increased incentive for the prosecutor to be harder on you when it comes to plea bargining and/or a trial.

DA offices are filled with people eager to make a name for themselves by locking anyone they can up with about the same regard for guilt and innocence as defense attorneys are noted for. I’m sure whoever is prosecuting this case is all smiles about getting their name in the paper when these suspects are sentenced, and push the judge for a couple extra years in the name of one of Americas’ favorite past times being “tough on crime.”

At the same time I’ve never grown basil let alone weed in my life so I cannot give the Pollards too much greif and wish them the best of luck in beating stupid laws. Just trying to encourage others to keep their possible persecution to a minimum.
