theFreshScent v2.0
September 20th, 2006 by Alex
theFreshScent is going to be down until the beginning of next week. We are switching hosters, fixing site bugs and generally moving the site forward in our master plan to rule the universe.
Seriously though, our goal is to make this site unique and publish content that isn’t available anywhere else on the web. Hopefully, you all stick around as we take the steps necessary to make our goal a reality.
See you soon.

Big Willie Style
September 18th, 2006 by Alex
Now, when I think of misdemeanor weed possession I think maybe a gram or two, possibly even an eighth or an ounce. Not when Big Willie’s in the house. Inside his tour bus, Louisiana state troopers found 1 1/2 pounds of marijuana. To top it off, there was a healthy two-tenths of a pound of shrooms stashed away too.
Looks like Willie and pals know how to pack for a roadtrip. Count me in.

Banksy - Barely Legal
September 16th, 2006 by AlexAs promised, we visited the Banksy - Barely Legal art exhibit on Friday, September 15th in East Los Angeles. We’re going to completely skip the whole ‘painted elephant’ controversy that seems to have been sparked. Instead, we’d like to take you on a photographic journey of the exhibit and offer our small insights into Banksy’s work and his artistic statements.
View theFreshScent’s Banksy Flickr Set for complete coverage.
Enjoy.
tFS Debris - 9.15.06
September 15th, 2006 by AlexAnother week, another tFS Debris. Summer is winding down on the West Coast, but we still like to keep it toasty. As always, contact us if you see any links that are Debris worthy.
The Video
Even Steph(v)en: By far the 2 best things to ever come from the Daily Show - Steven Colbert and Steve Carell - have a serious, serious debate on medical marijuana and later organize a special get together.
The Feature



Benetti’s Ambrosia: This 213 foot mega-yacht left me speechless. Six stories, jet skis, a spare boat inside the hull, onyx counter tops, mirrored ceilings, enough satellite equipment to run a spy agency, a full restaurant-style kitchen and a gilded staircase mural are just a few of the features that make this beauty one of the most amazing personal crafts floating on our oceans.

Blunt Wrap: Blueberry Burst
September 14th, 2006 by Tim
As usual, Blunt Wrap delivers on leaf quality - serrated edges and perfect moistness. Right when opening the blunt you get an intense serving of blueberry. During the roll, you’ll notice it’s more of a confused blueberry scent. Blunt Wrap have mixed something in there that’s hard to identify. Unfortunately, the smoke added no smell or taste, but the leaf itself had a sugary coating on it.
Overall, I liked this wrap. Not too much on the flavor but a solid buy nonetheless.
RegulateMarijuana.org
September 14th, 2006 by AlexKeeping with the West Coast theme we’ve got going for today, let’s swing over to Nevada and the political side of things. RegulateMarijuana.org created a flash movie that helps explain exactly what their legalization initiative will do for the state. It’s well thought out and, if passed, will add a huge boost to the marijuana legalization movement in general.
Enjoy.
1,000 Plants Destroyed in Arizona
September 14th, 2006 by Alex
On September 6th, Arizona law enforcement discovered at least 1,000 healthy marijuana plants hidden in Horse Thief Canyon. Wrapped in bundles, it was obvious that these plants had been tended to carefully by growers - none of whom were caught. The crop was air-lifted out of the canyon and destroyed 15 miles from where it was found. In the picture above, you can see that all witnesses were standing downwind during the burn session. Coincidence? I doubt it.
It has become a growing trend in Arizona, and other west coast states, to hide large crops of marijuana in National Parks. The terrain is remote, the soil is great for growing and surveillance isn’t as likely. Over the past 2 years, law enforcement have discovered 12 grow sites with the majority being tended to by Mexican nationals.
To be sure that no other crops are growing in the area, investigators are going to sweep the entire canyon. Let’s hope that, with the increased bust rate, these Mexican cartel supported growers are sent the fuck outta here.

Damn These Bugs
September 13th, 2006 by Alex
Some off / broken functionality has appeared on the site lately. Specifically, the index reloads on certain posts and the archives is currently broken. Also, we are having an issue getting our translation system to work correctly.
I just wanted to let everyone know that we are well aware of these issues and are taking steps to fix them. Sit tight and we’ll drop an update as soon as there’s something to report. We might even throw in a few surprises while we’re at it…
