A city panel in charge of overseeing marijuana possession crimes in Denver recommended on Wednesday that the fine for possession be set at $1.

Yup, you heard it right. This is not a joke. I know what you're thinking, but it's a good thing, really. The smart-money says this helps legalize the stuff nationwide.
It's beautiful how one can see the evening mist, just hovering there over the crowd. Legalize fog!
You might say he's unqualified, but I would say his former job took a whole lot of skills that you probably don't have.

Michael Phelps has become the new poster boy for marijuana legalization. Certainly more interesting than being the poster boy for…trying hard, or having really long arms, or whatever he was before.

Phelpsie! You're not alone! And some of your fellow marijuana enthusiasts might surprise you. Dionne Warwick? Huh?

In this essay, Carl Sagan reflects on the experience of being high and the many insights into art, music, and sociology that marijuana provided him. For example: “I can remember one occasion, taking a shower with my wife while high, in which I had an idea on the origins and invalidities of racism in terms of gaussian distribution curves.” Of course! We've all been there. Also: “I don't advocate driving when high on cannabis, but I can tell you from personal experience that it certainly can be done.” Awesome.

Scientists uncovered what they believe to be a stash of 2,700 year old cannabis which was clearly used for “psychoactive purposes.” The 789 grams of marijuana was found in northwestern China, buried with mummy believed to be a shaman of Gushi culture. But the best part is The Chronicle Herald's headline, which reads: “Researchers High on Ancient Pot Find.” Because we all know that there's gotta be some truth in that.

Politics Buzz US Congress Rep. Barney Frank proposes bill that, if passed, will radically curb federal penalties for personal marijuana use. The bill is titled the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2008, or HR 5843, and would be aimed at ending federal penalties for Americans carrying less than a quarter ounce. The bill comes at a time when general consensus has been reached that US drug laws are a misuse of valuable resources and disproportionately target Black Americans. Frank, a cigar-smoker, has indicated that if the bill is passed he will promptly switch to blunts…ahem, sorry, I mean not smoke marijuana anyway.
Culture Buzz Texas teen associated with Mother’s Against Drunk Driving delivers LSD laced cookies to police departments across North Texas. The culprit, who was serving a community service sentence with MADD for a previous offense, has been detained as the case pends further investigation. While one of the police departments was wary of the marijuana smell emitting from the treats (apparently weed was also in the mix), officers from Fort Worth dug right in. 10 bucks says they knew.
Music Buzz Snoop Dogg makes his country debut collaborating with Willie Nelson on a song about smoking weed. One love! This song is a message that smoking pot makes us forget our cultural differences (and other stuff, too).
Culture Buzz 260 tons of Marijuana was seized in Afghanistan making it the largest drug bust in history. The seized marijuana weighed the same as 30 double-decker buses and was worth $400 million.
