Mike Tyson & de Politie: Samen opnieuw
29 december, 2006 langs Alex
Toen ik de vertrouwde vorm van gegroepeerde brieven zag, creërend de naam Mike Tyson, kreeg ik een warm gevoel dat me aan mijn kinderjaren herinnerde. De zinnen van de gevangenis, chomped van oren, onvergetelijke citaten en meer - goede ol' Mike heeft altijd een plaats in mijn hart gehad.
Dit keer, Mike deed om het even wat niet outlandish als stampt op de kap van de auto van één of andere voorbijganger. Hij benaderde enkel het verpletteren in een voertuig van sherriff en toen werd gearresteerd voor geschaad drijven en bezit van cocaïne.
De ironie is dat de gevangenis hij werd gebracht aan de zelfde gevangenis was dat hij het vorige antidrugwerk met jeugdovertreders had gedaan.
Met bovengenoemd dat, behandelt alle belangrijkste nieuwsafzet dit verhaal, zo waarom de helderdere kant van Mike Tyson niet uitbrengen?

Hoe te om Knoeiboel te maken
28 december, 2006 langs AlexMaken van knoeiboel altijd scheen een weinig ontmoedigend aan me. Zover als `doe-het-zelf-`de projecten gaan, is de knoeiboel complexer dan uw dagelijkse pot brownies.
Deze video verklaart alles in detail en zal absoluut om het even welke vrees bij het doorgaan met het multi-step proces weghalen. It takes some practice, but man is it rewarding to make your first batch of brown brick.
Make a little, make a lot - there’s no limit on how much you can press.
Houston Law Enforcement 20,000lb. Bust
December 28th, 2006 by Tim
An agent staking out the warehouse the truck departed, entered in hopes of finding the owner when he discovered a few bales of weed inside.
Following further investigation, law enforcement were delighted when they found (and later seized) $20 - $40 million worth of marijuana cargo in the trailer. And to think, this all could’ve been diverted if Louis just had his damn headlights on at 10pm at night; they would’ve had no right to pull him over otherwise.
Charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, it doesn’t sound like Louis has much of a defense case - which ultimately means a long, long jail sentence.
Lt. J.D. Glesmann with the Sheriff Department’s Covert Operations Unit stated:
I’ve been in narcotics (division) since ‘93 and I’ve never seen a load of marijuana as big as this.
I guess that means this was big?
The bales of weed were packaged incognito-style, wrapped in plastic and coated in calcium carbonate to diffuse smell and placed in wooden crates, covered in coal. Lastly, the crates were labeled with car makes and numbers, most likely to be used for national distribution.
Obviously, this was the work of professionals and someone, somewhere is having a really bad day.

Former NARC Teaches How to Hide Drugs
December 28th, 2006 by Tim
So here’s the deal - there’s this Texas drug agent, Barry Cooper, that’s creating quite a stir in state law enforcement circles. According to his ex-peers, Barry’s turning his back on the good guys and now, to turn a profit, helping the so-called bad guys.
He’s produced a video called “Never Get Busted Again,” that will help potential traffickers better conceal and/or hide drugs, avoid narcotics profiling and fool canines every time.
Barry Cooper had this to say about his upcoming video:
My main motivation in all of this is to teach Americans their civil liberties and what drives me in this is injustice and unfairness in our system.
The former narcotics officer is highly decorated and was considered one of the top drug cops during his tenure in the police force. An ex-colleague had this to say:
He was even better than he says he was. He was probably the best narcotics officer in the state and maybe the country during his time with the task force.
Expect Barry’s website to launch by Tuesday of next week, with the video shortly following.
Cheers Barry Cooper, I look forward to checking out your vid.

The Sun Rip
December 27th, 2006 by AlexMany companies are tackling the quest to make smoking pot as healthy and tasty as possible. We’ve got natural gas lighters, vape lighters and more vaporizer designs than anyone can remember.
In the end, there’s on true method that the others just can’t touch - the sun rip.
It’s not an available option all the time, but when you have the chance I suggest you give it a shot. All you need is a clear sky, a magnifying glass and a nice summer day.
It tastes better, it’s healthier and you get to tell people that you’re in tune with nature. That’s what I call a win-win situation.
Afroman: Cali Swangin’ Tour
December 27th, 2006 by Alex
There are a couple of stoner anthems that come to mind from the past few years. One of the more popular ones was ‘Because I Got High’ by Afroman. Well, he’s determined not to be a one-hit-wonder and has dropped a 2 disc LP called Afroholic - The Even Better Times.
To promote the new album, Afroman is touring California with his Cali Swangin’ Tour. The first tourdate is January 25th in Hollywood and the last is January 28th in Santa Cruz. His new release is aimed at being a more dynamic rapper and showing there’s more beneath the surface than catchy drug-related jingles.
Check out Afroman’s website here or get more info on tour dates & ticket sales at Howard Presents.
Read on to view the flipside of the Afroman flyer.
Frank Gotti Agnello Headshot
December 26th, 2006 by Alex
One of our last posts in November had to do with Frank Gotti Agnello getting busted for morphine and oxycontin.
Well, The Smoking Gun sourced the junior Gotti’s mugshot and put it up on their wall of shame. I think the best part about this shot is the dollar sign hoodie that shows Frank is all about the benjamins.
