Smoking Pot Is American as Heck
Max Read · 07/17/12 02:00PM Here's Romney surrogate John Sununu on Fox News telling Megyn Kelly someone that President Obama "has no idea how the American system functions" because "he spent his early years in Hawaii smoking something [and] spent the next set of years in Indonesia."
The Miami Cannibal Wasn't on Bath Salts or 'Spice' or Jenkem or Rainbow Parties
Max Read · 06/27/12 05:27PMWhich dangerous, trendy nightmare drugs was Rudy "Miami Cannibal" Eugue "tripping balls" on when he tried to eat the face of 65-year-old Ronald Poppo in May? Was it "bath salts" — "the new LSD"? Or "Spice," the "synthetic marijuana"? Or was he on LSD, the "old LSD"? Or was it cocaine psychosis? Or was it all of the drugs at once?? Let's look at the coroner's report to find out:
Finally, a Frozen Burrito for Stoners
Louis Peitzman · 06/17/12 02:43PMStephen Colbert Wonders If Marijuana Initiatives Will Drive Democrats to the Polls This November
Matt Toder · 06/14/12 11:01PMOn tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert discussed two interesting stories related to the election: whether marijuana initiatives on ballots in swing states will drive Democrats to the polls and the possibility of networks running out of air time to run all the political ads bought with Super PAC money. It's gonna be interesting, that's for sure.

Louis Peitzman · 06/10/12 02:33PMMitt Romney Is a Narc
Max Read · 06/07/12 09:39AMWhat's it like to be Mitt Romney's neighbor? Pretty shitty, according to a Times article about the candidate's $12 million, three-bedroom house (once occupied by Richard Gere) in the San Diego suburb of La Jolla. For one thing, he is trying to "quadruple the size" of the house, which is annoying to everyone. And for another thing, he is a dick about people smoking pot on the beach:
Deputies Surround Wrong House, Cause Kitchen Fire
Louis Peitzman · 05/27/12 04:26PMDeputies in Spring Valley, California thought they'd found their suspect when they surrounded a house and ordered its inhabitants out. But the man they were looking for — an armed gunman who had robbed a medical marijuana delivery service — wasn't there. Instead, the deputies interrupted a family having dinner.

Louis Peitzman · 04/29/12 04:30PMIt's not news that the Netherlands has decided to limit legal marijuana consumption to residents, but man, a lot of us were hoping that wouldn't stick. Alas, Dutch court has ruled to uphold the law. Here's what this means for you, anyone who isn't Dutch: you can't fly to Amsterdam to get stoned in one of the city's legendary "coffee shops."
'Marijuana Is the Greatest Sexual Stimulant Since They Invented the 12-Inch Penis'
Rich Juzwiak · 04/20/12 03:20PMAbove is a clip from the 1971 scare-film-in-reverse Aphrodisiac! The Sexual Secrets of Marijuana. The sexual secrets aren't really secrets, just: weed makes you horny and then you end up in soft porn scenes. But anyway, since it's 4/20, it's probably a really good day to get high and bang your secretary, like the guy in the clip above. Or at least get high and watch some raunchy, incompetent shit. Here you go.
Room For Debate: What Kind of Drug is Rihanna Doing On This Man's Head?
Gawker Staff · 04/19/12 02:04PMThe New York Times' "Room For Debate" is an entrancingly dumb recurring feature in which they get a handful of vaguely qualified people to opine on various important questions such as, "Is Veganism Good For Everyone?" As we have done before, we now offer our own perspectives on an issue of substance: "What Kind of Drugs Did Rihanna Pour on This Man's Head?" Please see this controversial photo of Rihanna preparing to do drugs off of a man's head at Coachella this week for reference.
Today's Song: Wiz Khalifa 'California'
Rich Juzwiak · 04/10/12 03:20PMDid you see that insane report from a questionable insurance agency on a fishy study suggesting that marijuana users are actually "safe" drivers? This contradicts older studies/common sense suggesting they're a hazard or at least no more dangerous than your average sober driver. I don't know what to believe, but I do know that I now feel less guilt about posting a song whose entire premise involves smoking and driving (it's a theme on the Wiz Khalifa mixtape from which it's taken, Taylor Allderdice). It's a dubiously scientific miracle. Enjoy the Jermaine Dupri-inspired 808 glide.
Snoop Dogg's New Book Will Literally Get You High
Emma Carmichael · 04/06/12 11:20AMYou know when you're reading a book, and the book is kind of meh, and so you decide to roll a joint, but then you realize you ran out of rolling papers and forgot to buy a new pack, because you are a stoner? Sucks, right? Problem solved, thanks to the melted brain of America's favorite burnout, Snoop Dogg.

Maureen O'Connor · 03/08/12 11:11AMPat Robertson, Christian Broadcast Network star and host of "The 700 Club," to the New York Times: "I really believe we should treat marijuana the way we treat beverage alcohol. I've never used marijuana and I don't intend to, but it's just one of those things that I think: this war on drugs just hasn't succeeded." Free the Virgin Mary Jane.
