<![CDATA[ Sticky Icky Icky ]]> 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]

<![CDATA[ "If You <i>Really</i> Like A Guy Should You Wait To Bang Him?" ]]> When we filmed our 420 episode of Pot Psychology with Street Carnage's Gavin McInnes, we went all out to get in the right state of mind for the special event. Actually, we sorta went overboard. By the end of the night I puked, Rich was ready to hide in my bedroom, and Gavin had a paranoid delusion that Betty the intern thought he was gonna rape her. But in between all that, we managed to film nearly four hours of rambling nonsense that was just too good to confine to one episode, so this week's Pot Psych is part 2 of that epic night, in which we answer questions about hummers, midgets, and the dangers of senior citizens masturbating.

The plaintiff and defendant used to be buddies, but had a falling out over some weed they were growing in the plaintiff's backyard. The fight turned violent—which is very unstoner-like—and the plaintiff is suing for damages and says he had nothing to do with the pot plants. The defendant is kind of kooky (he claims he studies Jiu-Jitsu), and he tries to win over JJ by telling her he loves her. Needless to say, she remains unaffected by his affections, and ends up ruling in the plaintiff's favor.

Dear Slut Machine, What do you do when you realize the person you've been sleeping with is a douche bag misogynist? Not quite at the level of Paul Janka, but still a douche. I've "dumped" him and cut him off, but what else can I do?



t feels like putting a glass bottle in the trash only to realize there's a recycling bin a few feet away, and you're like, "Had I known, I would not have contributed to this environmental problem!" You know? My usual solution, pissing on the asshole's mattress, won't work here. Help!


You know, whether it's recycling or not, it's all still trash. You used it for what you needed, you're done with it, and now you don't need it. Who cares about what happens to it now that you're rid of it? Just be a better judge of character next time. I understand your regret that you slept with someone like that, 'cause I've soooooooooooooooooooooooooo been there, but you can't think about it anymore 'cause you're just building him up to be on a level of notability that he probably doesn't even deserve. Oh, but if you really can't shake wanting to do something gross to him, my friend told me that if you fart in an empty Pringles tube and then close it, the next person to open it will smell it. So you could mail that to him. Although, you know what? Sometimes regular potato chip bags kinda smell like farts when you open them. This one time I was at the movies, and I thought someone farted, and it was just these people in front of me who snuck in a bag of Lays. Yeah, that idea is stupid. Never mind.

Dear Slut Machine, If I get high and eat an entire pint of Ben and Jerry's, but then wake up the next morning and don't remember doing it, do the calories still count?

I read this question and it seemed retarded, so I thought that maybe I just wasn't high enough, so I just smoked another bowl to my head and it's still retarded. It makes me want to hang myself with the strings of a shopping bag, or slice my wrists with the shards of a broken Cosmo glass. But just know that as a rule, nothing that you do when you're wasted counts as long as you can get rid of it shortly after you sober up, you know, like pregnancies, the Clap, the dude you woke up next to, etc.

Dear Slut Machine, I've been dating this guy for a little over a week. But we're in college and it's reading week (a vacation of no classes before finals) so we've been spending tons of time together. Last night, however, things got a little out of hand. And I plead not guilty to having instigated any of it. We went so far as to start having sex, but he stopped halfway through saying we were going too fast. I am at a school where most people haven't even had their first kisses yet, so I can understand why a guy would react like this in this particular social context. He freaked out, said he doesn't do this until he's "in love", I freaked out, and then I basically bolted. Now I'm not sure what to do or say. We are in a lot of classes together and involved in a couple of activities. So he will naturally be in my life for the next two and a half years. Oh, and we were completely sober during this whole ordeal. What do I do?

DUUUUUUUUDE, I think that what you need to do is transfer out of that college. NOW! Not because that guy is in all your classes, but because on your week off they make you read. When I got a week off, it was called Spring Break, and I only had to read the milligrams of the pills and the labels on liquor bottles. Also no one in your school kisses or fucks? I'd die. I'd absolutely die...of boredom. But I think if you're set on staying there, than the best thing you should do is like lure him into getting with you again, and then just start masturbating in front of him, and don't jerk him off and then tell him that he has to jerk off while you masturbate. And tell him to come on your tits. He'll probably think he's "in love" after that. But if you don't do that with him, you should def do it with someone else. 'Cause it's really fun.

Dear Slut Machine, I'm gonna get hate on this, but I'm in love with my best friend's boyfriend. We've had sex twice, and text message everyday. Keep in mind he is also my boyfriend's best friend. We don't think what we do with each other has much to do with them. Are we (meaning we are all close, like everyday talk kind of close, on) totally gross and fooling ourselves?

She may be your best friend, but you are her worst friend. Real talk. ]]>

<![CDATA[ "What Is The Appropriate Etiquette For Indicating That One Is Romantically Inclined Toward Another?" ]]> potpsychology2.jpgIt's time for another installment of Pot Psychology, the advice column in which everyone's problems are solved by inhaling copious amounts marijuana. (Did we mention? Don't do drugs!) Got a burning question? Send it to tips@jezebel.com with "pot psychology" in the subject line.

Dear Slut Machine, I have a crush on my guy friend's roommate. I'm tempted to tell my friend that I heart his roommate, but I'd rather handle my own business. How do I go about showing his roommate that I'm interested without using my friend as a middle-man?



Orchestrate a situation (without making it seem like an orchestration) where you guys are all together at a time you think you will all get drunk. Like, drunk drunk. It'll work itself out from there. If they don't drink, then I can't imagine them being fun to hang out with, so you should just fuck the roommate and then peace on them both. If you don't drink, then maybe you should, if you're having problems like this. Happy holidays!

Dear Slut Machine, There is a young gentleman whose company I enjoy greatly; he seems favorably disposed toward me, as he tends to compliment my pink hair and biker boots. However, I fret over the possibility that I have given him the wrong impression of me. I typically see this particular gentleman at dinner parties hosted by our respective churches. I generally am somewhat more ladylike in these situations than usual, as my clergywoman has expressed disapproval of the f-bomb and I do so like to please her. I have also been somewhat less ebullient than I ordinarily am over the past few months; my father has been ill and I have been worried. Also, as a respected pillar of the community and president of one of the organizations which host these events, I feel the need to keep the conversation flowing between all attendees. As a result, I fear that I may have inadvertently given him the impression that I was uninterested in what he had to say when we last saw each other a fortnight ago by jumping into another conversation...or four. I do have a definite tendency toward being overly self-protective and trying to avoid having others know of my crushes, which may have been the reason for my pointless exercises in ignoring the gentleman whom I think of quite constantly when we're not in the same room. What is the appropriate etiquette for apologizing for these indiscretions and subtly indicating that one is romantically inclined toward another? Further, any suggestions as to how I might get him away from the formal environs of church without having 15 other college students going, "Ooooooooooh!" about it and gossiping?

Oh my God. OK, if you are a respected pillar of the community, what in the hell are you doing asking me for advice? I don't do well with pillars, people who go to church...I saw the word "clergywomen" in there somewhere. Also, I had to use the dictionary at one point when reading this. All of this indicates to me that you're too smart to be asking these questions, and too much of an adult to follow any of the advice that I could possibly give you on this. I have to tell you that the church thing is what throws me off the most, because I feel like anything I could tell you would involve a lot of sinning—and maybe a broken law or two.

But listen, do you remember that retarded book that Paris Hilton wrote, Confessions of an Heiress? (The subhead for it was something like "tongue-in-chic" if that gives you any idea about it.) Anyway, she actually gave a tip on how to live that I found strangely useful and kind of wise. "Tell people what they want to hear, and then do what you want." So that's what you should do. Act like Paris Hilton. Act like someone that is not a respected pillar of the community.

Dear Slut Machine, What's the right response when a close friend asks you what you think of their potential or new or soon-to-be-ex boyfriend/girlfriend? Regardless of what I think, it seems like I'm always put on the spot to say exactly what she/he wants to hear.

Yeah, you have to say something nice. There has to be something nice to say about the person. And if you don't like him or her, don't say so, just pick an unimportant thing about them that's positive and mention it. Like, "His coat is cool." That way you don't look like a jerk, but you're also not endorsing the person. Don't ever say something negative, unless it's like so important, like you found out the person is a murderer or whatever. Learn from the mistakes of Lauren Conrad.

Dear Slut Machine, How do I nicely, and without sounding like my mother, tell my boyfriend that his table manners suck?

Start by saying, "Yo, what the fuck?" Then say, "It would be cool if you could act cool when we're at dinner." Then say whatever else and finish with, "Seriously, dude." I bet you wouldn't sound like your mom if you put it that way. ]]>

<![CDATA[ Pot Luck ]]> potbikini112007.jpgYet another reason marijuana is awesome: Researchers believe that it might stop breast cancer from spreading throughout the body. A compound called cannabidiol found in the plant could be a non-toxic alternative to chemotherapy, achieving the same results, but without any of the horrible side-effects. Scientists stress that simply smoking pot probably won't do much to fight the cancer, since there isn't a strong enough dose of cannabidiol in marijuana leaves. But it can't hurt, right? Right?

<![CDATA[ Nicole Richie: Yup, She Menstruates ]]> The first segment of Nicole Richie's much anticipated interview with Diane Sawyer aired on Good Morning America today. Yeah, yeah, we know, she's pregnant, she's taking responsibility for her DUI, she feels bad, blah, blah, blah. The new stuff we learned is that Joel and Nicole (hey, their names rhyme!) are making video diaries for their unborn child. Do we smell a Chaotic type of reality series coming on? Oh, and she took Vicodin to soothe her menstrual cramps. Who knew she had enough body fat to get her period? Basically, Nicole came off as well-spoken, but just because she's not retarded, it doesn't mean she's smart. (Bitch didn't know that smoking weed and taking painkillers could impair judgment!) We sort of can't get over the fact that she thinks child-rearing is the next logical step in her life.

<![CDATA[ Bongs Are Not A Hit With Mrs. Garrett ]]>
You know how the girls on The Facts of Life were kinda chubs? It's 'cause they had the munchies. In the vintage clip above, from the first season of the long-running series, Tootie and Natalie come home from a shopping trip with a bag full of bongs. They're not even high, but the girls totally employ stoner logic when they come up with alternative uses for their new pipes. I'm shocked that I didn't remember this very special episode that tackled everyone's favorite gateway drug. Maybe I blazed away the brain cells containing that information.
