The U.S. State Department said today that it was investigating reports that three American tourists have been detained by Iranians while hiking near the border in the self-ruled Kurdish region in northern Iraq. Two Kurdish officials, speaking anonymously because they weren’t authorized to release the information, said the Americans apparently were arrested after entering Iranian territory without permission. U.S. helicopters flew overhead and many U.S. Humvees moved into the Kurdish city of Halabja to search for the Americans, said a Kurdish border force official. A fourth American who had to stay behind at their hotel because he was sick said the missing Americans were tourists hiking near Halabja and the border town of Ahmed Awaa. According to his account, the four had traveled to Turkey, then entered the Kurdish region Tuesday through the Ibrahim Al-Khalil border point in Zakho, the official said. They visited the Kurdish cities of Irbil and Sulaimaniyah on Wednesday. The next day, three of them took a taxi to Ahmed Awaa where they told their companion that they planned to stay at a nearby resort, the official said. The three contacted their friend back at the hotel on Friday and told him “they had mistakenly entered Iranian territory and that troops surrounded them,” the official said, adding “that was the last contact with them.”

The very mountainous border is a popular hiking destination and well-known for its thick growth of pistachio trees. The border force official said Iranian authorities arrested the three Americans because they had entered the neighboring country without permission. State Department spokesman Robert Wood said the U.S. Embassy “is aware of the report and is investigating. We are using all available means to determine the facts in this case.”

No word on where the 3 tourists are being held and no clue on their well being to this point, but it’s pretty apparent that they are fucking idiots. While I semi-understand why the Iranian troops arrested the tourists I don’t believe they should be held forever. This blunt is for the safe return of the 3 American tourists, even though you have to be lifted already to not know where the Iranian border is while all this conflict is going on in the region.

Cannabis is truly an amazing substance and that’s why I smoke so much. I will probably live until I’m 100, don’t quote me on that one, but I know i’ll get close. In a clinical abstract just published online on the Cancer Prevention Research website, a team of U.S. investigators report that marijuana use, even long-term, is associated with a “significantly reduced risk” of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.

This is not the first of these clinical trials. Marijuana related research has been taking place for years. yet it has been ignored by our stupid government and lobbied against by pharmacuetical companies. as well as passed over by mainstream media for fear of losing advertisers that benefit from the prohibition of marijuana. Advertisers like beer and alcohol companies, who if marijuana were legal, would surely lose a large percentage of profits to a substance that can’t kill you.  The funny thing is, Bush was doing coke, ignoring things like stem cell research and cannabis related research, fighting wars that were unnecessary and fucking Condoleeza Rice…..get serious world, the people that were aiding in his most shady actions are still in congress. They haven’t gone anywhere and they won’t unless we remove them by electing officials with productive ideas and pro-marijuana stances. Tokes to the researchers who take chances and blaze new paths, all pun intended.

Looks like you’ll have to keep your shitty ass car a little bit longer like me, because the cash for clunkers program may be cancelled due to lack of funds. Yes they did just begin the program on July 1st and it was part of the huge 819 billion dollar stimulus plan, but apparently toomany people have taken advantage of the plan. The allotted 1 illion dollars for rebates to be given has been used by approximately 200,000 who have requested the credit. Congressional sources said early Thursday evening that the program would be put on hold. But Obama administration officials said later that Clunkers had not been suspended and that they were studying the situation.

Although Cash for Clunkers was due to end on November 1st or whenver the 1 billion dollars was used, an early version of the program called for 4 billion dollars to e the amount given. It makes me it look as though when discussing amounts to give things listed in the stimulus plan, politicians all just sat around and threw out random figures without any hard projectory facts that would lead them to believe they were making pr0ductive decisions. With this and presidential administration time being given to have a beer with two creepos from Boston, I’m beginning to wonder where their priorities are because it seems as though they are focsing a bit more on nonsense and less on passing a healthcare bill that nearly 50 million americans would benefit from. We run the house and senate democrats,why the fuck can’t we get this done???

In Harrisburg, Georgia a supposed drug house was raided just as a police substation was being opened around the corner. In the house they found pipes, but no drug and 5 people were arrested for drug paraphernalia and disorderly conduct, which means that they will be getting out of jail very soon if they haven’t been released already.

It’s shit like this, huge wastes of taxpayer dollars and uneccessary actions by law enforcemnet that pisses me off. There is no way that they needed as many cruisers and officers that they had. I know that the only reason this news station covered the story is because it coincides with what mainstream media wants you to know and see. They want you to see the shittiest , dirtiest, most disgusting side of people in another attempt to divide US citizens, no different than the actions of racsit political puppet Rush Limbaugh, who also happens to abuse prescription drugs, so maye he should be one of the “drug addicts” being arrested, but this is what America has become, but we can still combat it with our words and actions…Tokes for all the intellgent people int he world, including those of you reading this now

Illegally sharing files is why the internet is soooo amazing wrong and people really shouldn’t be doing it…OK I know that wasn’t very convincing, but only because I’m not quite so sure where I stand on this issue.

A Dutch court has ordered three of The Pirate Bay’s founders to block traffic to and from the Netherlands. The Pirate Bay, which has more than 20 million users, provides an index to BitTorrent files, which can be used for trading media such as movies, music and computer games. The court ruled in favor of antipiracy organisation Stichting Brein, which alleged that Pirate Bay has been infringing copyright in the Netherlands for a very long time.

The new ruling gives the  men who are allegedly responsible for the site only 10 days to shut down the site or they will face an inital fine of  3million euros. If the site is not down after the first fine has been imposed they will also face an  extra 30,000 euros per day fine for each day that the site is still live. Yesterday at the hearing one of the men was qutoed saying:

“None of us live in The Netherlands, operate from there or even own the site they are suing over. There are so many errors in this lawsuit that it’s almost a crime to spend the court’s time this way!”

It’s a sad day for Pirateay users, but if my memory serves me correctly, which I’m not so sure about because I smoke like Montell Williams, Piratebay has already been through such litigation, but since their are no anti-piracy laws in certain European countries they can simply move their servers like I believe they did last time. Long live the pirates…arghhhhh

Comic-con is not only a nerds paradise, it was held in California, where medical marijuana is legal, so there were bound to be throves of cannabis supporters as well as probably a hell of a lot of the special green on site. One of those supporters was for me an obvious fellow toker, writer and director Kevin Smith.While he looks 8 monts pregnant, he’s still a creative genius in our minds, making such greats like Clerks and Clerks 2 which is my favorite because they discuss one of my specialties…ass-to- mouth…Ok totally  fucking kidding, I won’t even eat an m&m off the ground, let alone put my mouth on something that looks like Renee Zelwegger’s desperate pouty smile. Ass-to-mouth is something for professionals folks, leave it to them but its ok to think about ass-to-mouth, just have some tokes before you seriously consider it.  Well here’s Kevin talking about his love for fatty cuisine the greatest herb ever.

This is some bizzaro crazy face shit. Teens in San Ysidr, CA were caught with cannabis and heroin taped to their bodies. WTF are these kids doing smuggling drugs. I’ve never been able to grasp why people are so intrigued by quick cash that comes with such a huge risk. People really do get caught smuggling drugs, check out locked up abroad, that shit is no joke. Check out the dumbest kids of the year above.
