Blunt talk from Olympia: Are you feeling all Maureen Dowdish about legal weed — and you haven’t even smoked (or eaten) any yet? You might want to check out a new state-produced pamphlet titled, “Marijuana Use in Washington State: An Adult Consumer’s Guide”.
It is without a doubt the first government pamphlet to take a place of honor on the stoner’s bookshelf, next to the Bob Marley, Phish and Cypress Hill CDs.
Take this job, roll it into a joint, and smoke it: A TV reporter in Anchorage, Alaska, disclosed in a live broadcast Sunday that she owns the cannabis club she had just reported on, then uttered a word only heard on premium cable before walking off the set.
The only thing more dead than that woman’s journalism career are the playoff hopes of the Seattle Mariners.
Beer-lovers’ latte? Starbucks says it’s test-marketing a latte that tastes like a pint of foamy stout.
If the “Dark Barrel Latte” is a hit, look for Guinness to roll out a stout that tastes like charred, over-roasted coffee.
