Welp, that settles that. Anybody who was wondering if authorities were going to keep going after the arrest of Silk Road kingpin Ross Ulbricht and start targeting users don’t need to wonder anymore. Multiple arrests have now been made worldwide, and it looks like more are on the way.

They say that the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and in the case of a Canadian man who happens to have a Twitter account, his online search for marijuana resulted in him getting fired. Sunith Baheerathan did raise up quite the online stir when he first tweeted his request for some marijuana, better known as pot. In his tweet, he requested prospective pot sellers to deliver their “goods” to Baheerathan’s work place – that is, a Mr. Lube location in a Toronto suburb.
Baheerathan tweet that raised a fair number of eyebrows read as follows, “Any dealers in Vaughan wanna make a 20sac chop? Come to Keele/Langstaff Mr. Lube, need a spliff.” Needless to say, this particular tweet eventually went viral, and with that, it also managed to catch the attention of the local police who retorted using the York Regional Police’s official Twitter feed, “Awesome! Can we come too?” Shortly after that, Baheerathan tweeted that he has just been terminated, although the cause of his termination has not been officially attributed to his online activities.
Baheerathan was obviously not too happy about his situation, tweeting, “I’ve lost complete hope in society man. There’s killers/rapists/people missing and all they care about is a dude asking for weed” and “Gotta watch what you tweet nowadays, even the freedom of speech & the right to an entitled opinion isn’t safe.” I guess plenty of people mix up freedom of speech with the responsibilities that come with it, just like how Baheerathan did.

Even as the body of evidence of cannabis’ potential as a potent medical precursor grows (especially with the development of CBD-rich strains), smoking it is not without long-term side effects. And we’re not just talking about munchie-induced weight gain, either. A number of recently published studies suggest habitually getting high not only kills your motivation, it might even alter your brain chemistry. Specifically, the part that makes you want to get off the couch.

It’s an honest mistake, thinking that marijuana and industrial hemp are one and the same. And in some ways they are: both are species of the genus cannabis, they both have the iconic five-fingered pot leafs, and both are widely sought after the world over. But aside from their outward appearance, they two have very little in common, including where it counts the most.

Don’t do drugs, people. But if you do do them, don’t overdose on ’em. But if you do overdose on ’em, make sure the drugs you’re doing are weed, LSD, opium and mushrooms and not pharmaceutical pills. That’s because pharmaceuticals kill more people in America than any other type of drug. What? More »

Border fences are really tall so it’s not like you can just throw your packages of marijuana over them. No, you’d need something like a weed-apult or, better yet, a weed cannon to heave them over the wall. More »

Drinking and driving is the worst. Texting and driving is pretty bad too. So what about getting high and driving? Apparently not that bad! Unless you’re freaking stoned as hell. Then you’ll fail so hard and maybe even lose a nose. More »

Don’t let their gentle demeanor and calming stripes fool you. Zebras are unstoppable killing machines. They’ll bathe in the blood of your children just as soon as look at you. That’s why keepers at Tokyo’s Tama Zoo aren’t taking any chances and are prepping for the day these murderous equines overcome their paddock locks. But rather than free one of these stripey psychopaths, even temporarily, zoo officials instead opted for a slightly less deadly option: furries! character actors dressed as zebras. The horror.

Livestock and art auctions share little in common beyond a name. While even the most ferocious bidding war at Christie’s or Sotheby’s will remain stately and reserved, cattle auctions devolve into frantic, rapid-fire calls the moment the steer enter their pen. But as Werner Herzog once quipped, these steer sellers speak “the last poetry possible, the poetry of capitalism.” More »
