Pot Delivery Network Busted in New York
November 6th, 2006 by Alex
Still, the government makes it their job to spend taxpayer money on hunting down and prosecuting people that are selling a natural plant to law-abiding, intelligent adults. Through sources, we posted a couple of pictures before this bust was even reported nationally. Before getting taken down, the Cartoon Network was one of the top delivery networks in both quantity and quality.
Luckily, there’s a high chance the government isn’t going to prosecute the weed receiving customers. Only the ring leader, John Nebel, and his associates are facing jail time. Still, it’s sad to see an entrepenuer get put behind bars for something that shouldn’t even be illegal.

Frank’s Brain Shop
November 6th, 2006 by AlexHere’s proof that America isn’t the only country producing retarded anti-drug PSAs. Other than being pretty disgusting, this one tries to promote the notion that weed makes you freak out and puke.
Uhhh, that’s a negative Mission Control…
Yes on Amendment 44
November 5th, 2006 by Tim
These are the two newest advertisements published in Colorado in support of Amendment 44 - the legalization of up to 1 ounce of marijuana.
The ad on Bush isn’t quite as convincing as the one on Cheney, but both outline a pretty valid point if you ask me.
Marijuana Reform Breakdown
November 4th, 2006 by Alex
TalkLeft has put together a nice, quick breakdown of the upcoming marijuana reform initiatives that are taking place in Colorado, Nevada and South Dakota. This years’ mid-term elections are not only important because of the obvious Democrat vs. Republican struggle, but also because these measures might be the first steps toward legalization.
Public opinion is starting to swing in many states. Organizations like LEAP and SAFER Colorado are doing their part to improve awareness and promote the benefits of herb rather than the demonization and scare tactics employed by the US government.
Overall, even if these measures don’t succeed (and I sure as hell hope they do), I still believe we are on the path towards a more intellectual approach to smoking. When you compare the benefits and drawbacks against many other legal substances in the US, it’s hard to argue otherwise.

Stoned in Suburbia: An interesting look into England’s weed scene and also an eye-opener that smokers come in all shapes & sizes.
Mariwana: Old shool music vid from the classic reggae group Soul Syndicate. Doesn’t look like they’re smoking the kindest of buds, but they’re definitely enjoying life.
Cellphone Plan Escape: CellTradeUSA is a company that is matching people who want to get out of their cell phone contracts with those who want to jump into without paying activation fees or being stuck long-term. Genius. [via Product Dose]
Hollis Home: An Arizona house built by architect Randall Fonce that exemplifies clean lines and lots of open space. Sure beats my apartment. [via Luxist]

Sheriff Arrested for Re-Selling Drugs & Ammo
November 2nd, 2006 by Alex
How to get the public to distrust it’s law enforcement officers - a tutorial by tFS:
First, make sure you are in a position that requires voters to elect you. Try and make it one that’s high up on the totem pole - like a sheriff for instance. Next, round up a gang of like minded individuals who are motivated to make the extra buck. You want some variety on this, really spread your troops around. I suggest a postal service employee, a probation officer, and then some regular Joes out on the street.
Next, start seizing and storing everything you can find - guns, drugs, steroids, - you name it. Here comes the critical part, use your position, its influence and your newly formed gang to re-sell everything you’ve confiscated back into the community. A great way to do this is by paying off a sheriff’s seargent to use his house as a distribution base.
What’s the last step? Enjoy the benefits for as long as possible, because eventually you’re going to get cornholed by the FBI and DEA in a massive raid that brings down everyone around you. Still, this is only hypothetical. Right?

If They Only Grew This Fast…
November 2nd, 2006 by TimThis is a cool time-lapse video depicting the process of herbs’ vegetation stage. If you’ve never seen any plants in person, this will give you a pretty good idea of how these babies develop in the early parts of the grow process.
Speeding up the frame rate shows just how much plants can move throughout the grow cycle.
Royal Blunts: Passion Fruit
November 1st, 2006 by Alex
Royal Blunts delivers some of the best flavors on the market. Just like other major players, their line-up is heavily filled with fruit based flavors - Mango, Peach, Strawberry and more. Passion Fruit is in the same category, and delivers like RB knows how.
First point, the wrap wasn’t dry, which is the only real drawback from Royal. If you spot any package designs with the see-through square be warned there’s a high chance it’s gonna be brittle as hell.
The smell is good on this wrap, not pinpoint accurate, but close enough to work. This wrap hits the usual notes after that - good to smoke, doesn’t add much flavor but the burned smoke does leave a good aroma. Royal Blunts has put together a solid product but it’s nothing that sticks out from the crowd.
Price: $1.50
tFS Rating: 6.5/10
