Blunt Notes

The Austin Daily Herald is reporting a drug bust that I’m sure the DEA will soon report has cut weed prices in half, and caused purity levels to drop.

Anyway Blunt Noters (Don’t have a fit King…Mom I’ll be home late tonight) let us take a look at some choice selections:

The teacher reported the incident to the school liaison officer, who spoke with the assistant principal. The two called the 16-year-old into the assistant principal’s office to interview him about the matter; he allegedly said he borrowed the money from the other teen, though when asked by the officer whether the money was for marijuana, he allegedly said “somewhat.”

Somehwat?!?!?!? Somewhat?!?!?!? SOMEWHAT?!?!?!?! The hell are we teaching kids about the law anyway? Seriously what was this kid thinking?

“Hmm, I don’t think they’ll believe it wasn’t drug related at all so I’ll just say it was for weed….hmmm….SOMEHWHAT!” Unfortunately he was not just “somewhat” arrested.

The boy refused to disclose who he’d purchased it from, and said he’d bought it with the intention of distributing it, according to the report.

Ok, now to be fair he is a stand up guy evidently, even if he was ridiculously stupid to confess. Ahh….youth. Anyway kid if you are reading this sorry if I was harsh, I feel for you man, and we are all pulling for you here at Blunt Notes.

“I’m not mad, I’m proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learn two great things in your life. Look at me, never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.” -Goodfellas. Words to live by during these trying times.

“No, no, I don’t know, you said it. How do I know? You said I’m funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what’s funny!”-Goodfellas. That part is just classic and bears repeating on principle.

Record number of marijuana arrests in 2006.

::begins to drink beverage::

Of those charged with marijuana violations, approximately 89 percent, 738,915 Americans were charged with possession only.

::PFFFFTTTT!!!!::

2004 771,608

Wow, if it was not for me it would have been 771,607…whoooaaa maaannn…

I mean come on…

Common sense here people…

Recently Nick Diaz (who I mentioned in my last entry) was on Sherdog radio stoned out of his mind, and presenting the case for marijuana. Diaz is not the most educated or articulate guy out there, but he makes strong points most of us will agree with, and if you saw his last fight who are 99% of prohibitionists to talk gaga about this man? I mean Christ on the cross he got his orbital bone broken and still pulled a gogo. Anyway here is the link to the radio program…

Or if you do not want to listen to it here is a link to a thread featuring some of the best quotes (though to really appreciate the greatness one needs to hear all of what he says, and how he says it)…

A couple of choice picks…

For the record, right now, I think someone needed to come out and say it: I think smoking pot is good for mixed martial artists. It’s a new day and age, this is, uh, the year … Fuck year is it? I don’t know, because I’ve been training and smoking pot like I should, instead of paying attention to other bullshit, which I don’t do.

Making weed illegal is a little bit paranoid, don’t you think? It’s like saying God made a mistake, you know what I mean? It’s like, you’ve got the whole world and Earth and all its holy creations, right? And God is like, “Hmm, lookit, my whole world in all its holy ways,” and he’s like, “Oh-my-me-oh-shit, I left weed in here. Yeah right, I left weed in here. Oh, shouldn’t have smoked that joint on the third day.”

Like, what the fuck? You think he forgot? I mean, just looking at it from a religious point of view or something like that. Oh fuck, now he’s gotta create Republicans, right, or something or whatnot. I don’t know, I’m just irritated that I get suspended and that put a dent in my career because I want to smoke some weed.

The fact of the matter is, if you go home — okay, I’m gonna tell all you fighters out there something right now, from my experience — if you have friends that you get high with, get ‘em to train with you.

Because you get high all the time, you can’t find people that train all the time. But if you get high and train, you will get high and train all the time together and it will be fucking massive-takeover-smoke-weed-and-kill-people shit.

Let the fucking massive-takeover-smoke-weed-and-kill-people shit movement begin.

Ok, this is not exactly breaking news but as some of you might be aware I am a HUGE MMA fan and will look for any excuse to write about the sport. Anyway below is a fight from Febuary of this year between Nick Diaz, and Takanori Gomi who at the time (and through BS after, but more on that later) was the consensus number one lightweight in MMA. Any who here is the fight…

EDIT: Ok I can’t seem to get Dailymotion vids to work in here (Admin if you’d help my noob ass out I’d appreciate it) so here is the link

Anyway here’s the retarded part: Diaz (the winner) tested positive after the fight for marijuana and the victory was overturned to a no contest, and Diaz was suspended by six months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission! Aghhhh! In all fairness I can understand why the NSAC has marijuana as a banned substance, as dumb as it is it is an illegal drug, but Jesus Christ just make it some $500 dollar fine and/or three to four month (the amount of time fighters usually take between fights anyway) suspension, don’t just go and MAKE ONE OF THE BEST FIGHTS EVER A NO CONTEST!

Diaz is also quite comical as evidenced by this interview below after the fight…enjoy…

“Ha do gen fucking punch,” LOL.

So since I could not come up with enough material to write something on topic about Larry Craig (hopefully future senators are carrying an ounce or two when cruising for gay sex in public restrooms) I have decided to entertain all of you (King, admin, and…Mom?) by telling you about the owner of a head/CD/sex toy shop I have encountered several months back.

As I am sure most of you know someone running a head shop is supposed to play it cool to say the least in regards to knowledge of what their customers are using their products for, to say the least this guy does not follow that rule. As soon as me and my friend walk into the place we notice a middle aged couple checking out his glass at the counter.

“You tell you kids you smoke weed? I don’t tell me kids I smoke weed and I’m real honest with my kids,” said the owner in a hyper tone. He then went on to describe how well his glass could be used for smoking weed. Me and my friend both looked at each other and tried not to crack up. The guy looked like a burned out Bruce Vilanch which only added to the weirdness. Their conversation then turned to the subject of law enforcement.

“I got this girl working here who is scared she’s going to be arrested, I say if you don’t have at least a misdemeanor on your record you’re a nobody,” he continued. At this point I was wondering if I should get a discount because I must be a real somebody there. The couple soon left and he asked them to say hello to God for them. Anyway I went to the counter and asked how much their Salvia cost. I played it cool.

“Thirty dollars for ten trips,” was the response. Well so much for playing it cool. Now I’m SURE that is not standard head shop policy, you know blatantly selling substances for psychedelic purposes. We got into a small discussion about the drug where he told me how the drug had him “playing ping pong with Yoda in the Amazon in a diaper.” As we left we were also asked to give God his salutations.

Anyway here’s to you crazy Bruce Vilanch looking head shop owner, for openly stepping out of the gray area your industry operates in and flaunting your violation of the law. You are an inspiration to us all, and I shall be upset upon your inevitable arrest.

To his credit he was wearing pants.

Hilarioy article concerning the evils of marijuana from Nigeria. Just check the title: “BIG LIE! Marijuana cannot reduce weight or enhance sexual performance.” And to think the dealers around here have been marketing it as the latest diet supplement…fiendish.

Some choice quotes:

Marijuana is a product or “drug” made from the leaves, stems, seeds and flowers of a plant known as Cannabis sativa. Marijuana is usually smoked like a cigarette or in pipe or bong.

Do people in Nigeria really need to be told what marijuana is?

Some of the addicts also use it to prepare palm wine, food, tea, soup, while others add it to hair creams, body lotions as well as toilet soaps in some cases on the body.

LOL, at use of word “addicts,” even DEA publications do no refer to marijuana users as “addicts.”

those addicted to it run the risk of”running mad”

HAHAHAHAHHA! “Reefer Madness” just premiered in Nigeria I guess.

“In fact, what the smokers are inhaling are chemicals that can affect their mind and brain and consequently lead to mental imbalance and illness among other terrible diseases.

Diseases like….

Anyway brahs enjoy the whole article. To be fair to the people of Nigeria I do not know how serious this publication is taken but I found it humorous that Nigeria is fifty-sixty years behind on its drug propaganda.

…and was probably high.

It strikes me as somewhat laughable that someone would be required to speak out against marijuana after being convicted of simple possession for the reason that what real reason does the person have to reverse their position on weed?

Ok, they got arrested, but for what? Friggin possesion, the only reason they got hurt was because weed is illegal, it’s not like they went crazy on it and wiped out a family (though I’m fairly certain if you get busted for family killing you do not get to talk at school even if you were high). Therefore there is little reason to suspect he has experienced some great awakening about the harmful  properties of marijuana.

Anyway since I am completely certain Method Man remains a smoker in so far that he can do so and beat drug tests it brings me a degree of joy that the government is requiring likely stoned musicians to speak to children.

Who has the fun job of making up these names? Bush? Operation Hooked on Ponics.

But seriously this is a big one.

According to Nahmias, the federal indictment, and prior state court documents, to date, law enforcement has dismantled 44 active marijuana grow houses in a 14 county area. They have seized 8,638 marijuana plants and 2,279 pounds of processed marijuana.

Anyone in the Atlanta area who can say whether or not there has been a noticeable effect on supply and/or prices in the area? In all my years I cannot remember hearing about a big bust and seeing a noticeable effect afterwards, though logically it has to hurt some group of people somewhere (or I suppose one serious pot head). Anyway…

…hang tough brahs, you are getting locked up for braking a stupid law so you have the sympathy of myself, and any other right thinking person with a heart. Of course to be honest we have to admit that (and this is no doubt the result of prohibition) it is not always the best people who enter the marijuana business, and they often have criminal tendencies that are more destructive towards society. But seeing as how growing herb is the only thing we know about all of them they should be given the benefit of the doubt by not just stoners, but anyone who is anti-stupid law.

If anyone in the are knows how they got caught or have heard of any effects of the bust let me know, would love to hear what you guys have to say.

Announced today that the FBI is easing restrictions of past drug use.

Suck it J. Edgar Hoover.

Such uncertainty frequently led to problems on polygraph tests, which the FBI administers to all new employees. You cannot be hired if you are deemed to have failed the polygraph test.

“It was the drug question that was tripping up the most people,” said Mark S. Zaid, a Washington defense lawyer who handles many employment disputes involving the FBI and other intelligence agencies. “They realize they were losing good people.”

And once someone comes up with a strain that can help you beat a polygraph we’re all in like Flynn. Future potheads working at the FBI you betting hook it up…you know what I mean.
