Megan Fox Stands Behind Her Marijuana Position
June 18th, 2009 by RickLike hungry mosquitos sensing fresh blood, reporters were buzzing at a London press conference about Megan Fox and her recent comments she made in GQ magazine about smoking marijuana.
Fox said:
I wouldn’t call it recreational drug use… that makes me sound like I’m going into clubs and using cocaine. [...] I talked about the legalization of marijuana, which I think in the United States it should be. [...] If alcohol is legal, I just think marijuana should be, that’s all.
Fox also mentioned that it’s a toss up between being candid and tight lipped when it comes to interviewing:
I feel like I have the best intentions when I do these interviews and when I speak the way that I do, but it’s unfortunate when journalists choose to knowingly twist the meaning of my words. [...] And that discourages me from being outspoken and honest, but it’s something I want to do. I hate reading or watching bullshit interviews, and watching these things that have been created and presented to you on television, that are fake or manufactured. I am trying not to be one of those.
Regardless of what she says in the interviews, it definitely adds more publicity for Fox and her upcoming film, Transformers: Revenge Of The Fallen, which opens June 19 of this year.

Medical Marijuana: Hollywood OG
May 17th, 2007 by Ryan
There is one word that dominates this entire review — crystals! The medical marijuana strain pictured above is called Hollywood OG and has just about as many crystals as any strain I’ve come across yet. What better reason to review it?
| theFreshScent Product Recap | |
|---|---|
| Strain | Hollywood OG |
| Type | Sativa/Indica Hybrid |
| Pros | Long lasting high |
| Cons | Weak taste and pricey |
| Price | $30/g, $80/8th |
| tFS Rating | 8.0/10 |
This particular plant is not the strongest OG strain, but hey, can you really go wrong with any Kush? This bud got me medicated very quickly and effectively, starting in the head and slowly moving downwards to the body. Still, the strongest effects are felt in the head region. It left me high for almost 3 hours and provided a smooth come down.
While stizzied up on this bud, I strongly suggest watching a good movie or listening to a great album because once the full high kicks in, it’s tough do anything that requires lots of movement.
My overall impression of this Hollywood OG is that it is one high-end marijuana bud. Though a bit on the steep side, the high it provides more than makes up for any deficiences. Still, I’m not so sure why this particular OG strain is called Hollywood other than I purchased it in Hollywood. Go figure.
Temple 420: Police Raid Video
November 29th, 2006 by TimHere is the video related to the Temple 420 post directly below.
It shows post-raid footage and Craig X with the police. Also, the Reverend stands up and speaks clearly about his organization, its benefits, and his feelings on the subjects related to his arrest.
Temple 420: Church of Marijuana Ambushed
November 29th, 2006 by Tim
This organization is led and founded by Craig X Rubin, a vocal and persistent leader for the ending of prohibition on marijuana. He is also the author of a recently published book – 90210 Grow.
Reverend Craig X has this to say:
Our members will never be convicted of marijuana possession again. Marijuana is basically legalized at the federal level since religious pot is now protected by the Constitution, unlike medical marijuana, which is only protected by local jurisdictions. I have dedicated my life to ending the prohibition of Marijuana and I have finally had my day in court.
Already under intense scrutiny by law enforcement, on November 8, 2006 at 4:20 pm, the Hollywood temple was raided by more than a dozen armed Los Angeles police officers in hopes of finding drugs and anything else incriminating. Unable to locate what they had hoped, officers settled and confiscated temple documents and sacraments of Temple 420.
I swear, it is mystifying how police departments continually squander valuable time & resources on bullshit like this. Many cities in Los Angeles (including West Hollywood) already have ordinances in place that specifically direct police officers to make this their lowest priority. I refuse to believe there isn’t some gang member, rapist, thief or thug on the streets of Los Angeles more deserving of their attention. Kindly file this under “Things That Piss Tim Off.”
Although we at tFS find it ridiculous to pretend a plant is a religion to legally smoke weed, we fully support Craig and his organization and wish him the best.
In closing, here’s Craig X with a few more words:
Temple 420 needs people who are like minded to support the Temple by joining our congregation even in this time of need. We are fighting for the rights of all people who have faith in the Bible and feel as if law enforcement should respect the First Amendment of the Constitution. The right to use cannabis for sacramental purposes will not come easy. However, our rights are worth fighting for so please join the Temple and show your support.
