All stories about "Weed"

Paul Mecurio is comedy's resident virtuoso; after graduating with high honors from Georgetown Law, Paul ditched a bright future in law for ... well, an even brighter career in comedy. He's even got awards to prove it. Let's see the firm Willkie, Farr and Gallagher hand out Emmys. We caught him in a brief moment between shows in the midwest and two headlining nights at New York's Comix (this Friday 26 and Saturday 27) and got him to dish on politics and why he's gotta have his 3am hot dogs with a side of "coffee milk."

A crowd of around 10,000 gathered at Colorado University to celebrate 4/20 with some marijuana: they "climbed trees, played the bongos, snapped pictures and had miniature picnics." For the first time, CU's police didn't attempt to arrest anyone participating. [via]

Weed is the greatest drug ever. It's all natural, it won't make you strung out, you can't OD on it, and it allows you to enjoy the happy feeling of dying brain cells. Best of all, smoking pot makes eating food awesome. Snacking while high is one of the greatest pleasures this world has to offer. It's hard out there for New York stoners. This city doesn't have medical marijuana clubs, and the NYPD actively pursues drug dealers and folks who smoke herb outdoors. But what New York does have are some damn fine munchie foods. Since outing purveyors of fine plant online is not cool at all, you're on your own when it comes to finding stuff to smoke, but once you do, this map will tell you everything else you need to know about getting high and pigging out in the Big Apple.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown wants to crack down on pot smoking, but his government isn't cooperating. Tony Blair, the previous Prime Minister, had downgraded marijuana to a Class C drug. Blair's move led to police having a more laid back attitude towards stoners, and some critics claim it also caused more young people to smoke weed. Brown wants cannabis to be reclassified as a Class B substance once again, but the Government's drug advisory body has come out against the idea. [Telegraph]
