Don’t Drug Traffic in Columbia
February 5th, 2007 by Alex
At the end of 2006 and continuing into this year, certain Latin American governments have launched a heavy offensive against drug cartels. The most publicized of these was Mexico’s various efforts, including the use of it’s army to eradicate grow operations in extremely rural areas.
Columbia is another country pushing forward with anti-trafficking operations. The picture above is of police guarding more than two tons of marijuana that was confiscated near the border of Venezuela.
So here’s my question, are the red-packaged bricks individual size and the giant white one’s a valu-pack?

Medical Marijuana: Sour Diesel
February 2nd, 2007 by Ryan
One thing I have to say about this Sour Diesel is don’t under estimate it! For only $20 a gram this is a powerful sativa/indica breed. Sour diesels have always been a crowd pleaser and now I know why.
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Strain | Sour Diesel |
| Type | Sativa/Indica Hybrid |
| Pros | Intense head/chest high |
| Cons | Short lasting |
| Price | $20/g, $65/8th |
| tFS Rating | 8.0/10 |
This bud packs a powerful punch so be careful. However, I recommend putting on some beats (Rza – Afro Samurai is a good choice,) sit back, and let it do its job!
I greatly enjoyed this strain and for the price it is a solid purchase. You definitely can’t go wrong with this find. If spotted, grab it!

Hello Neighbor: Vanilla Nut
February 1st, 2007 by Tim
Back in college, I lived in a dorm and had a tough time smoking in my room without everyone on my floor catching wind. I’d try different things like standing near my window or taking a laundry sheet, stuffing in a toilet paper roll and exhaling out of that. Too bad none of those tricks worked. So every time I wanted to smoke, I’d have to go to the car and hotbox or leave school grounds (which was a bitch.)
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Category | Products > Other |
| Company | Hello Neighbor |
| Made In | N/A |
| Pros | Tastes decent |
| Cons | Doesn’t work well |
| Price | $7.00 |
| tFS Rating | 2.5/10 |
This chapstick-sized device has a pink tip on its end. In standard conditions, the Hello Neighbor works decently. It dissipates the strong scents of tobacco and marijuana as you exhale but doesn’t get rid of the odors completely. At first, the vanilla nut smell is there but it fades very quickly and is non-existent for the majority of the odor neutralizer’s life.
I think it’s funny that a product like this even exists when there’s not one, but two sources of smoke and odor that need to be successfully removed. Sure, its aim is the smoke you exhale, but what about the smoke rising from your blunt or cherry in the bowl? This basically defeats any purpose the Hello Neighbor serves in the first place.
Overall, this product is pointless, whatever you’re smoking will give off a scent or smell. If you really need to be that low key, just go for a walk and take some of the stress out from smoking. Just don’t count on this thing to be stealthy.
Just Say No to New Anti-Drug PSA’s
February 1st, 2007 by Alex
Ever watched an Anti-Drug PSA and thought, “What the hell are these guys smoking?”
You’re not the only one.
Studies have shown that these anti-drug commercials are not only completely unsuccessful but also a waste of millions of dollars in taxpayer’s money.
So, after years worth of supporting research into this topic, you’d think the government would change it’s tactics. Well, it has … kind of.
The newest stream of PSA’s have gone from high-budget, live action spots to badly drawn, poorly thought out excuses for anti-drug commercials. I mean, these things get more ridiculous every time I see them, yet somehow they keep getting made.
Today, we’re going to look at the latest batch of garbage from Above the Influence - the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s attempt at influencing today’s teens into going along with America’s outdated anti-drug program.
Read on to see the commercial mayhem.
