On forums like Erowid, people have been writing about quitting smoking after tripping on mushrooms for years. A new study from Johns Hopkins University shows science may back up those claims.

Have pity on Grant O'Connor, a 25-year-old Tennessean who was arrested for pot possession after butt-dialing the cops while allegedly talking about picking some up from his dealer.

Kevin Smith, you maybe haven't heard, has a new film called Tusk coming out. It's about Justin Long turning into a walrus, and it also stars Haley Joel Osment as a child who grew up and has a beard now. To promote the film—sure, why not—A24 studios commissioned Tusk-branded medical marijuana.

Earlier this year, Yianni Sourovelis, 22, was arrested for possessing $40 worth of heroin, his first criminal offense.

Just as with open alcohol containers, driving through Seattle with smoking pipe in hand is quite illegal.

Earlier this month, Rodney Ray Stoner, and his son, Adam Lee Stoner, were arrested in Corvallis, Montana, after cops discovered a weed grow operation in their garage. And this week, Paul Scott Stoner of Orange, Virginia was busted for possession of over $10,000 worth of pot plants.

President Barack Obama, forever maybe-sorta-OK-with-but-not-exactly-jazzed-about cannabis, was unconvinced by the New York Times's late-to-the-party proclamation that the plant should be legalized on a federal level.

The first person I meet on PuffPuffChat lives in Scotland. It's dark, so I can't really see him, but he looks like he's freaking out a little, and he doesn't seem that interested in talking to me. Our conversation goes something like this:

Earlier this month, Gawker named eight big media companies that continue to screen prospective employees for drug consumption. This drew dozens of emails and hundreds of comments from working journalists willing to talk about their own company’s testing practices. It’s time to spill their secrets.

A ballot initiative that would make recreational cannabis use lawful in Oregon has earned enough signatures to secure a place on the state's November ballot, meaning voters will soon decide whether to make Oregon the country's third state with legalized weed.

Deb Greene waited in line for hours to become Seattle's first legal recreational weed customer, buying OG Kush from Cannabis City when it opened July 8. Unlike her counterpart in Spokane, she didn't immediately go home and get totally ripped, but saved the bud for posterity.

Paranoid parents have a new tool for exposing their children as the drug-addled loonies they are: privately owned drug dogs for hire, here to sniff out your stash.

This year, Dr. Sue Sisley became the only researcher in the U.S. to win federal approval for medical marijuana research. Last week, she lost her job.
