Now You Can Buy Weed Named After Blue Ivy Carter

Cassie Murdoch — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 22:45:00 EST

Well, you have to hand it to drug dealers. They're nothing if not enterprising, and they're not going to miss out on making a buck off the latest pop culture obsession just because that obsession is a tiny, innocent baby. Yes, Blue Ivy Carter, the blessed child of Beyonce and Jay-Z, may be just a week old, but she already has a strain of weed named after her. It's all downhill from here, kid. But seriously, "OG Blue Ivy" is actually on sale at pot dispensaries in LA. So, if you're still looking for that perfect baby gift for Beyonce and Jay-Z, you know what to do! More »

New Laid-Back TSA Lets You Fly With Weed

Margaret Hartmann — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 09:30:00 EST

TSA agents are aware that we all thinks they're jerks, so as part of their campaign to convince Americans that they can be our kind of cool big brother, they let a dude keep his rather large supply of weed. Rapper Freddie Gibbs Tweeted a photo of the drug in question along with a note of inspection that reads, "C'mon son." It's certainly possible that this is fake, but we prefer to think that the TSA's new policy involves simply guilting us into following the rules rather than acting like tweezers are a deadly weapon. You know the law, dude. Don't ask the TSA to give pot smoking the same endorsement it gave vibrator use. More »

Old People Accidentally Eat Pot Brownies, Results Surprisingly Unamusing

Margaret Hartmann — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 09:30:00 EDT

On Friday, three elderly people from Southern California brought a hackneyed sitcom scenario to life when they unwittingly downed pot brownies at a friend's memorial. During the service someone passed around a tray of brownies, but didn't tell anyone they contained medical marijuana. Sadly, the ensuing hijinks don't sound all that hilarious: Three seniors in their 70s and 80s were admitted to the hospital with nausea, dizziness, and the inability to stand unassisted. More »

Study Shows Girls Become Stoners Faster Than Boys

Anna North — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 12:55:00 EDT

A new study finds that while teen boys are more likely to smoke pot than teen girls are, the girls are quicker to become habitual smokers after their first hit. The study also uncovered racial differences: white girls were more likely to get stoned than African-American or Asian-American girls, but African-American and Hispanic boys were more likely than white ones. And participating in extracurricular activities lowered marijuana use for all teens, but the effect was biggest in girls. More »
