Snuggles Smuggles Weed
April 12th, 2007 by Alex
Hopefully, everyone read the Easter Grass article late last week.
It’s pretty impressive when people completely screw up at drug dealing, even when they prepare for police encounters. All Ian Lawrence had to do was drive legally. Assuming he wouldn’t be able to pull that off, he hid his weed in a damn Easter bunny.
The plan was flawless. The execution? Not quite as on point…
If you’re going to hide weed in your car, don’t leave some on the back seat. Oh and while you’re at it, try to take some preventative measures from having the entire car reek like dank. Police officers can be slow at times, but they’re not complete morons.
On top of the driving related charges against Ian, he was also tagged with possession of marijuana, operating a drug factory and possession with intent to sell within 1,500 feet of a school.
Ah well, at least Snuggles has been released from a life of servitude.
Exclusive: Sector 7G Twister Pipe
April 12th, 2007 by Alex
Early last month, we received a very interesting package from Oscar, the brains behind Sector 7G.
This little-known Stockholm, Sweden based company has two focuses – a commitment to stealth smoking and designing/building products with some of the highest quality craftsmanship in the industry.
One of those products is the Twister Pipe
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Category | Pipes |
| Company | Sector 7G |
| Made In | Sweden |
| Pros | Ingenious design |
| Cons | Bowl heats quickly |
| Price | $20 - $30 (depending on size) |
| tFS Rating | 8.0/10 |
As stated before, you immediately notice the thought put into the design process for this instrument of smokocity. Twister arrives in a styling, red suede pouch with an information booklet included.
The pipe itself is split into 3 pieces – a bowl, spring (the shaft) and mouthpiece. All 3 interconnect without actually needing a threaded interior – simply push and/or pull while turning counter-clockwise.
The fancy part of this device, the spring, keeps its shape surprisingly well and snaps back into place after being bent and twisted. Small touches, like a laser-etched Sector 7G logo beneath the bowl, add personality above and beyond the regular metal pipe.

The Twister Pipe has many interesting features. The first, and one of the most useful, is the ability to pack down the bowl with the mouthpiece.
Be careful though, after enough times bending the spring upwards, there’s a chance it might pop-out from its interlock with the bowl and catch you on the knuckles or wrist.

We found that even after one hit this pipe gets warm to the touch. Snap a full bowl and you’ll be feeling the burn in more places than you’re supposed to.
The spring shaft allows you to bend and adjust the rate of air-flow while you’re taking a hit. I find this acts very similar to a carb on your more conventionally designed pieces. There’s no actual screen, so be prepared for some ashes to make it through.
The Twister hits hard and smoothly. While taking a fat rip, as with the majority of metallic pipes, you feel that warm, molten taste on your tongue. Still, this product gets the job done effectively.

It’s rare to see a company pushing the boundaries of design while still putting out quality-built products. When it comes to stealth smoking, you have to live with the trade-off of some performance setbacks for the lower profile that’s provided.
This is definitely one of the most unique smoking devices I’ve encountered, and after working with it firsthand, it’s gotten on my good side.

Dumbass Gets DUI on Horseback
April 4th, 2007 by Alex
Melissa Byrum York, a drunk redneck Sylvania, Alabama resident, was charged with a DUI for riding her horse while intoxicated.
After riding in traffic and causing cars to avoid her, police were called into the equation. Feeling like there was more to be done, Melissa decided to evade police capture in style by ramming the police car with her horse while trying to escape.
Too bad she got her feet caught in the stirrups while trying to jump off the horse and run. Eh, not so smooth.
After being cuffed and searched, police found some of that magical riding powder known as crystal meth accompanied by some weed, pills and a pipe.
What a surprise that someone out drunkenly riding a horse in the middle of the night through city streets might have a small drug and a large reasoning problem.
Congratulation Melissa, you’re our first Official Dumbass of the Month.

Jesse Ventura’s America
April 4th, 2007 by AlexThis short clip from Jesse Ventura’s America show gives us an interesting, if not well-scripted, take on what an alien would see if they came down to observe the human species’ drinking and smoking behavior. More specifically, the hypocrisy that is apparent from an objective, alien perspective.
Mr. Ventura is a documented medical marijuana supporter, so anyone jumping to the conclusion that he’s just tackling a high-profile topic for some positive PR is mistaken. Check out a short bio and his emphatic endorsement towards the use of medicinal pot.
Anyone disagree with his observations? Let us know.

Keith Richards Combines Dad, Blow
April 3rd, 2007 by Alex
It takes something really unique to make me do a double take on a drug-related article. Well, Keith Richards, congratulations. You got me.
Quoted from the UK music mag, NME, Richards said:
The strangest thing I’ve tried to snort? My father. I snorted my father…
He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have cared… It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.
I don’t know what’s worse, having a mental picture of Keith actually mixing his dad with some of Columbia’s finest or just staring at this picture.
Keith Richards isn’t even human anymore, he looks like a salvaged 1950’s leather car seat with a skeleton crammed inside. I guess this puts to rest the notion that all guys who rock mustaches are badass.

New Mexico Approves Medical Marijuana
April 3rd, 2007 by Alex
Today is a good day to live in New Mexico.
The Lynn and Erin Compassionate Use Act, otherwise known as Senate Bill 523, was signed into law on Monday, April 2nd.
This will positively affect the lives of thousands of sufferers who can use medicinal marijuana to improve their day-to-day lives. I know that NORML has been lobbying hard for this one, and they finally got the reward.
This bill not only legislates a medical marijuana program, which will be run by the state Department of Health, but also “protects medical cannabis patients from arrest and state criminal prosecution.”
Although this bill does not allow patients to grow their own medical marijuana, it is a positive step no matter how you look at it.
Get the full breakdown over at NORML, and if you’re in New Mexico make sure to thank Governor Bill Richardson for his unwavering support.
