If you live in North Carolina and you watch a lot of online TV, you might have seen the ads. "More weed, less war," exclaims a twentysomething dudebro in one of them, waving a pot leaf-emblazoned poster. "Vote Sean Haugh...Ohhhh Yeah." But Haugh, a Libertarian Senate candidate, has nothing to do with them.

As much as everyone would love to see a bunch of stoned little kids running around dressed like baby Groot, or whatever, it's probably a good thing that Colorado police are trying to make sure trick-or-treaters don't accidentally eat any weed candy this year.

At some point, the world's pot smokers lost touch with life's simpler pleasures: a nicely rolled spliff, or a toke from a bowl, or a one-hitter disguised as a cigarette. The impulse toward ever-more complex smoking implements has surely reached its apex with this, the "Mask of Moldauthein."

Robel Phillipos is accused of entering Boston Marathon bomber Dzokhar Tsarnev's dorm room and removing a backpack full of fireworks after Tsarnev was announced as a suspect, then lying about it to the FBI. His defense: he was too high to lie.

If you're going to leave your TV gig for a life toiling at marijuana legalization, do it with some panache. At the end of a segment on a cannabis club last night, Alaskan news reporter Charlo Greene revealed herself as the club's owner and availed herself of any journalistic conflict of interest with four words: "Fuck it, I quit."

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.
