As Whoopi Goldberg mentioned this morning on The View, marijuana is a lot stronger these days than it used to be. According to analysis from the University of Mississippi's Potency Monitoring Project, "the average amount of THC reached 9.6 percent in 2007, compared with 8.75 percent the previous year." The stiffs in D.C. say that this means that pot is so much more dangerous than previously thought. However, they didn't give any data to back up that assertion. Maybe they were high. [ABC News]

Deadbeat Dad Shows Up Stoned In Judge Judy's Court

As far as pet peeves go for Judge Judy, irresponsible parents are right up there with "um" as an answer. Yesterday's episode featured a man was being sued by his ex-girlfriend for the money she spent on his DUI fines and looking after his children, whom child protective services had taken away from their mom. (The children now live with the defendant's paternal grandparents.) The guy doesn't have a job, likes to party, and appeared to be high as a kite during his hearing. None of that escaped JJ, who challenged him to a drug test. Clip above.

Pot Psychology

Nerve has another edition of its "Dating Advice From..." column, and this time they went to the Miss High Times contestants to answer readers questions. We're not sure if the girls were actually baked when giving their answers (for our stoned advice column, it's a requirement), but it was still really pot-centric: My girlfriend always expects me to pay for our shared pot. How can I put a stop to this? Stop buying with her. Get your own stash and let her know why you did. If she were a real stoner she would have her own stash too, and this never would have happened in the first place. [Nerve]
