Brown Sugar: Island Blend
August 31st, 2006 by Alex
These 1 1/4″ papers don’t quite stick out as much as previous flavors have. The leaves themselves are still coarser & slightly thicker than other Zen Smoke offerings like Juicy Jay’s, Chills or Elements. The smell is weird - it’s basically a combination between a scratch and sniff sticker & some cinnamon. Not what I would instantly associate with the tropics.
When smoked, Island Blend fades into the noise - no flavor added to any aspect of the leaf. Still, these papers are solid. They burn well and add some texture to your smoke. Not everything needs to get the job done with style.
2006 Stoner Voters Guide
August 31st, 2006 by Alex
Marc has done just about everything he can to facilitate action. He’s written about the House of Representatives, how & when to vote, using MySpace to further the cause, useful tips on how to initiate conversation, information on RockTheVote.com and then he starts going state-by-state on who he supports and who you should contact. Wow. Guess Marc blows the old lazy stoner myth right out of the water.
Since tFS is based in California, we are going to transcribe Marc’s section on who he supports for Governor:
Cop Cookies
August 30th, 2006 by Tim
Jonathon Smith, a Washington state police officer, was forced to resign after being told that two fellow officers witnessed him buying two $1 pot cookies at a rock concert. The two officers who witnessed the event described that Deputy Smith knowingly bought cookies laced with weed at a Tool performance. Acting Police Chief James Nicks gave him the option to be fired or resign. He obviously chose the latter.
Steven Cory Mack, the dude slanging the cookies at the show, was further investigated. Police found 2.8g of herb, cookie crumbs in a plastic container, along with $300 in $1 bills in his seized 99′ Chevy Blazer.
Damn, this cop was just kicking back - ready for Maynard to blow his mind - and his fellow officers ratted him out. You can be sure that dude would’ve beene extra chill with stoners too. Ah well, one less cool cop on the streets and the world keeps turning.

Also, we’ve removed the big ass, stock markers and replaced them with something a little more streamlined and compact. One more thing, expect another round of location updates sometime next week.
Enjoy.
Juicy Blunts: Apple Brown Betty
August 30th, 2006 by Tim
This wrap smells bomb and has just the right mix of its two main flavors. You don’t get any taste while smoking, but it does leave a sugary sweet flavor on your lips after every puff. Also, as a bonus feature, there is a 1″ wide ‘thin strip’ at the end of each Juicy wrap - this cuts down on rolling time.
Overall, this cinnamon treat is different enough from your average blunt to be worth a try. Pick it up and tell us what you think.
Pot Grows at Duluth Police Dept.
August 29th, 2006 by Tim
Recently, a Duluth reporter stumbled upon something ironic as hell. While visitng the West Duluth police substation on a seperate news story, reporter Janna Goerdt noticed a curious plant growing near the main entrance of the building. For confirmation, she plucked a leaf from the plant and brought it back to the newspaper for a closer look.
Tom Kasper, a city gardener, confirmed that the leaf she plucked did indeed come from a marijuana plant. Shortly after, Kasper notified neighborhood supervising police Lt. John Beyer that there were a dozen 4-6 inch tall pot plants growing in the front yard of the police department. The gardener estimated these plants were growing for around 3 weeks. Apparently, since the front entrance is rarely used by incoming and outgoing personnel, these little guys wouldn’t have been discovered for quite some time. Looks like someone’s pulled a joke on the Duluth Police that even Lt. Beyer can get a small laugh from.
The only thing I can say is somebody has a sense of humor. Now they’ll read about it in the paper and say, ‘Yeah, that was me.’
Too bad the reporter was a snitch, it would’ve been awesome to see fully grown pot plants next to a police station. Oh well, we’ll forgive ya Janna.

Golden Wrap: Strawberry
August 29th, 2006 by Alex
Finding a solid brand of papers you can always enjoy is like learning of a long lost brother - priceless. Golden Wrap Strawberry is one of 5 flavors that serve up a different angle on your smoking experience.
The papers are slightly smaller than King Size, the leaves are coarser and thicker than your average Joe, and the flavor seems deep soaked into each leaf. When it comes to the smell, these suckers are exactly like strawberry candy. You know, the ones with the strawberry wrappers and the gooey stuff inside? Ah well, just look to below then.
These are the first papers I’ve come across that are completely infused with flavor. Almost every aspect gives off strawberry overtones - the smoke, the taste, the smell … everything. Shit, they even burn nice, even and slow. Golden Wraps are definitely top notch and a solid choice to keep on you all the time. Expect more flavor reviews from this company soon.
Banksy Schedules LA Event
August 28th, 2006 by Alex
Personally, I believe he is one of the most influential artists so far this decade. His stencils, statues, and museum placements are among the most original and daring works placed in the public domain. You can be sure that whatever Banksy has to say, he’s going to put it out there loud and clear for the world to take notice.
If you live in the Los Angeles area, come to the showing and say what’s up. It’ll definitely be worth it.
