Guy Misdials Himself into Sting
June 23rd, 2009 by Russ
Our bad-luck stoner of the week award goes to John Milligan of Salem, New Jersey. Apparently, instead of texting his local pot dealer, he rang the phone of off-duty officer Christopher Pew. Never missing an opportunity to chalk up a drug arrest, Officer Pew arranged to meet the texter at a local mall, where he arrested Milligan and his girlfriend for “loitering to commit a controlled-dangerous-substance offense.”
With some reluctance to add insult to injury, one might wonder why Mr. Milligan had failed to program his dealer’s name into his cell phone. And, if this was a first-time buy, is it possible that some mischievous type intentionally fed Milligan the policeman’s personal digits?
In the words of Obi-Wan Kenobi:
In my experience, there’s no such thing as luck.
Whether this was the result of foul-play, poor memory, dyslexia, or fate remains to be seen.
The Magical Mystery Tour
September 18th, 2008 by PerryOkay… so not exactly.
Actually the curator sounds a little baked and he probably should have organized his “exhibits” instead of just doing a wake-and-bake and just randomly pasting shit all over his walls. But the guy runs a pot museum and clearly loves his work, so what do you expect? It’s still kind of an interesting look into the history of smoking and some of the early devices used back in the day.
I Think I’m in Love

I’m not quite sure if this is enough to make me overlook the fact that she’s uber-underqualified to be a vice presidential pick, but I just learned to like Sarah Palin ever so slightly more. Why? Well, she smoked some pot. Not only was she a beauty queen in the 80’s (I’m betting she did blow all over the place in a Pat Benatar haircut, there’s just no proof), but she lived in a town of less than 25,000. There’s exactly three ways to live in a town of less than 25,000: you can join a religious group, you can do drugs or you can follow your parents there against your will. I guess we know which one she chose. C’mere you sexy, small-town librarian you.
The Cat’s Out the Bag, and Walking Funny
September 15th, 2008 by Perry
A recent study was done on the effects of marijuana exposure to cats.
Okay, for the sake of time we’re just going to ignore the search for the rationale behind why this study was done. Cutting right to the obvious, the article says keep your pets away from your drugs. Awesome advice. Not only are your lovable house pets not really made to handle it, it’s a waste of weed. And they probably aren’t paying for it, and who likes a mooch? For the good of your supply, and your house pet (since if you sit around smoking with a house pet you probably can’t or won’t pay the costly veterinary bills you will incur) try to keep second-hand smoke away from your pets.
Pot + Candy = Crazy Delicious
November 10th, 2006 by AlexI don’t think it’s possible to be more lame and un-interesting than this DEA agent. If I was playing show and tell with all those scrumptious looking candy bars you can bet I’d be putting some more emotion behind my presentation.
Oh, and I’ll take 1 KeefKat to go.
Kmart Pot Mix-up Gets 3 Arrested
November 9th, 2006 by Alex
Looks like Philadelphia police turned a simple mailing mistake into a decent sized drug bust. At Kmart, employees noticed a box that didn’t quite fit in with the surrounding products. What was in it? Only 25 lbs. worth of pot. That’s an estimated street value of over $100,000.
So, these watchful employees call the police and the police put in motion a nice little sting operation. The package in question was delivered to its original destination, as intended. Agnes Ortiz, not aware of the mailing mix-up, received it. Then a woman, Renee Garcia, picked up the package and took it to another house down the street.
The police showed up to bust the house. Inside, they found the original 25 lbs. of weed and then cocaine, PCP, heroin, packaging paraphernalia and US currency. Crazy.
Ortiz, Garcia and a 15 year old boy were arrested on charges of possession and intent to distribute. Sounds like a job well done by the Philly police.

Pot Delivery Network Busted in New York
November 6th, 2006 by Alex
Still, the government makes it their job to spend taxpayer money on hunting down and prosecuting people that are selling a natural plant to law-abiding, intelligent adults. Through sources, we posted a couple of pictures before this bust was even reported nationally. Before getting taken down, the Cartoon Network was one of the top delivery networks in both quantity and quality.
Luckily, there’s a high chance the government isn’t going to prosecute the weed receiving customers. Only the ring leader, John Nebel, and his associates are facing jail time. Still, it’s sad to see an entrepenuer get put behind bars for something that shouldn’t even be illegal.

Two Students Arrested Over Pot Brownies
October 30th, 2006 by Alex
Let me paint a picture for you…
It’s the season finale of ER. There’s snow on the ground and things are getting hectic. One of the nurses picks up the phone. It’s an emergency – the ambulance is coming in hot. Everyone hauls ass to get to the door, a stretcher is prepped to carry the patient into the OR. The ambulance backs in, its doors are opened and there’s a teacher’s aide strapped to the gurney shaking uncontrollably.
What the hell could cause all this mayhem? I’ll tell you – felony assault. But not just your every day assault. We’re talking felony assault… with pot brownies.
That’s right. In Manlius, NY two high school students face drug charges because one of them shared a weed-laced brownie with a teacher’s aide. After realizing the brownie contained some green leaf, the assualted teacher’s aide was rushed to the hospital.
Corrine Prigle, 17, was charged with felony assault and misdemeanor drug charges. The guy that sold the brownies to her, Zebediah Gallagher, 16, also faces a felony count – criminal sale of marijuana. It’s pretty amazing that something of this nature has the ability to ruin two kids’ lives. I know that 16 and 17 is a little young to be messing with ganja, and bringing it to school obviously isn’t the smartest thing, but charging them with felony assault and felony distribution? Seriously?
