Don’t Fuck with John Popper
March 9th, 2007 by Alex
John Popper and his pal Brian Gourgeois were arrested in Washington state for driving 111 mph.
Ok, people speed, fair enough. Then they found that John likes to partake in marijuana, as they found a small amount of pot and a pipe in his car. Then they found out that John likes to shoot things, is afraid of an upcoming apocalypse and perhaps likes to hunt humans at night.
It’s cool to collect guns, but bringing enough fire power to arm a Ugandan warlord might just be pushing the envelope. When police officers had a drug dog search his SUV, they found:
- 4 rifles
- 9 handguns
- 1 switchblade
- 1 taser
- 1 pair of nightvision goggles
- flashing emergency headlights
- a siren
- a public address system
John informed police that he installed all of these items into his car in preparation for a natural disaster.
I don’t know what sort of natural disasters strike Washington state, but usually things like emergency rations, communications equipment, candles, generators and clothing are what people stockpile. Not rifles, tasers and nightvision goggles.
John’s car was impounded and the Washington state police are charging him with misdemeanors. Perhaps he’s giving them the “Run Around?”

Avoid Hitting State Patrol Cars @ 70mph
March 8th, 2007 by Alex
It’s been a while since someone has straight-out qualified for our dumbass category, but this guy brings the game to a whole new level.
Instead of waiting for police to actually determine he was doing something illegal and then arrest him, the 54 year old driver (pictured above) decided to slam his Chevy Malibu into a police cruiser at 70 miles per hour.
After attending to the officer with minor injuries, police found 43 pounds of marijuana in his trunk. They also found a few smoked joints and trace amounts of cocaine. After everything was figured out, the driver was charged with possession of cocaine, driving under the influence and trafficking.
If there’s any lesson to be learned here by criminals, it has to be buy a redbull to keep yourself awake and don’t do cocaine while you’re driving. Dumbass.

Interview: Teenager who Gave Nephews Pot
March 8th, 2007 by AlexWhenever a polarizing subjects like drugs and children combine, it’s going to be a lightning rod for criticism. This video shows an uncut interview with the teenager who gave his nephews pot… and recorded it.
You can see the complete cultural opposites of an urban black youth while he’s communicating with the officer who’s doing the interview. In his mind’s eye, he hasn’t done anything horrible like pull a gun on someone or shoot them full of crystal meth, but he still hasn’t digested why people find this so offensive.
Obviously, this behavior is wrong. He knows it, he was just being a stupid kid. Everyone is to some degree, and I’m sure there are things that if you video taped them you’d be in the hot seat, but this sort of shit really puts a bad name on the mantle of pot smokers.

Unfortunately, this video seems to be generated by an anti-ethnic website (and hosted on YouTube). I wasn’t able to find another copy, so I’ve been forced to use this one. tFS doesn’t support the message of the people who generated this video, so we will not acknowledge them with a referring link. I suggest you do the same.
College Students on Amsterdam Trip ‘07
March 1st, 2007 by TimThis video is what happens when college students go to Amsterdam with full intentions to blaze the finest herb in Europe. It also goes without saying, that there’s no place quite like it.
This slideshow demonstrates only a few special characteristics that reinforce why this place is arguably ganja capital of the world.
Buying Ganja in India
February 28th, 2007 by AlexSince I’m going on a little international trip myself in the next few days, I figured it would be a good time to drop this video.
We all know Americans aren’t the only people who like weed. Tons of other people across the planet buy, sell and smoke marijuana.
Let’s take… Indians for instance! Here a silky-tongued ganja salesman keeps us up to date with Indian pot terminology. Now we know, and knowing is half the battle…
Josh Heytvelt Mushroom Bust
February 26th, 2007 by Alex
Our friends over at Celeb Stoner were able to locate some detailed pictures of Gonzaga basketball player Josh Heytvelt’s drug arrest.
Turns out that he’s using the old ‘that ain’t mine‘ defense. Yea, I frequently find 33 grams of mushrooms randomly placed in my backpack with no knowledge of how they got there. What a coincidence.
Looks like he was planning on having a lot of fun, which has now turned into a lot of problems. Too bad he’s a member of a nationally watched basketball team, or else this would go completely under the radar.
See all the pics after the jump.
ASA Sues US Government for Pot Mistakes
February 23rd, 2007 by Alex
As some of you may have read, an important legal motion has been filed by Americans for Safe Access against the United States government. They have intelligently changed tactics away from forcing the US to decriminalize marijuana, but instead admit that they have it inaccurately classified.
For decades, the United States has been ignoring fundamentally proven scientific studies (not to mention thousands of sufferer affidavits) that solidify the stance marijuana is a legitimate medical treatment.
Joe Elford, Chief Counsel for Americans for Safe Access, says it best:
The FDA position on medical cannabis is incorrect, dishonest and a flagrant violation of laws requiring the government to base policy on sound science.
Now, I believe this is the first attainable step towards 100% decriminalization and then (later down the road) legalization. This move shows that not only are medical marijuana groups intelligently approaching their ultimate goal of safe access, but they’ve got the guts to follow it up with action.
I can go on and on about this subject, but this has been reported in many, many different places - I just wanted to throw in my own take. Below are plenty of links that delve into this issue further:
- Americans for Safe Access Press Release
- New Study Shows Medical Value of Marijuana
- Government Sued for Marijuana Lies
- Medical Pot Advocates Sue Feds Over False Info
- US Is Sued Over Position on Marijuana
- Medical Marijuana Group Sues US Government
- Government Sued for Marijuana Lies (World News)
And with all of this scientific data backing us up, it’s always interesting to see a completely biased anti-marijuana post written on a supposedly “progressive” weblog - Progressive U.
It’s awesome to see how the article author gets crucified in the blog comments. Guess this puts the lazy, uneducated stoner myth to rest…
Big Sac’s 1oz. Blunt
February 21st, 2007 by AlexWhat happens when people have lots and lots of weed and too much free time? Well, this video I guess.
Still, these guys have a ways to go before they start approaching the world record. With practice their time just may come…
