Some cops were driving through Leicester, England, when one of them farted. Then he farted again. And again, and again, and again. Then, another officer cracked a window to get some fresh air, and asked the offending cop what he’d been eating. After “fits of giggles and denials,” the officers noticed the smell of weed […]
Last week, Michael Bloomberg called medical cannabis “one of the greatest hoaxes of all time,” ignoring countless scientific studies that have shown the plant’s usefulness in treating everything from cancer to HIV. We figured the mayor could use some brushing up, so we sent a packet of summer reading to his Upper East Side townhouse. […]
See how many of your favorite indie musicians you can spot in the video for Vampire Weekend’s “Diane Young.” Look, there’s Chromeo, picking a fight with Vampire Weekend drummer Chris Thomson from across the dinner table!

Drug enforcement authorities in Washington are encountering an unusual but awesome problem after the state voted to legalize recreational use of cannabis last year: re-training drug dogs to “unsmell” weed. It’s not a requirement in the state, but departments in Seattle, Bremerton, and Bellevue have opted to either have veteran dogs go through unsmelling training or […]
Someday, weed will be a major American industry. We’ve known that for a while. Now, one company hopes to be that industry’s first serious player. Dubbed Diego Pellicer, the upstart brand is helmed by a six-year veteran former Microsoft executive Jamen Shively, and hopes to become the first national cannabis chain. They’ve started by buying […]
Earlier this week, many were buzzing about Seattle-based butcher William von Schneidau’s pigs and their weed diet. Upon closer examination, it seems that this diet has little to no effect on the pigs.
