Lindsay Lohan's "Marilyn Monroe-Inspired" Playboy Pictorial To Run in January Issue [PICS] Hosted by Blog Certified Mr. Hefner proclaimed the second shoot bonafied & sent the spread into production. Not a bad remake, Ms. Lohan. The originator Ms. Marilyn Monroe~ Lindsay Lohan has caused so many heads to spin, someone thought it obligatory to bestow a strain unto her amazing beguiling character. Wednesday, October 12, 2011 source:http://thechronic-le.blogspot.com/2011/10/medical-marijuana-strain-review-lindsay.html Medical Marijuana Strain Review: Lindsay Lohan Overview: I guess it was just a matter of time before America's #1 skank Linday Lohan got her own medical marijuana strain, unfortunately, much like the actual person, it is a bit of a disappointment. Looks: Lindsay Lohan is a beautiful strain with short, stubby and super dense light green leaves that are covered in a light frost and plenty of rust-colored hairs that come tangling out of the buds. Taste/Smell: The taste was a little bit hashy and a little bit spicy. Not really a strong flavor here, but not entirely unpleasant. Buzz: Lindsay Lohan has the looks and a fairly decent taste, but the buzz is where it falls short. It made me super lethargic and sleepy. I wasn't good for anything for the rest of the day. Not only did these buds shut my body down, but my mind was also slowed down which is unusual for me because weed usually gets my creative juices flowing and gets me thinking. This strain might be good for insomniacs looking for relief, but I probably wouldn't recommend it for any other medical uses and I have a feeling it could make the symptoms of depression even worse. Overall Grade: C- [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i5uCL5uZaQ&w=560&h=315] No word has been confirmed as to whether or not Lindsay has penned the possible penis pleaser.... To be continued. WE love you Lindsay!

Justin Timberlake Says He is 'Absolutely' a Pot Smoker

By Jeremiah Vandermeer, Cannabis Culture - Tuesday, June 14 2011 CANNABIS CULTURE - JT loves his MJ: Teenie-pop sensation turned rising Hollywood star Justin Timberlake says he is "absolutely" a pot smoker, and that "some people are just better high." In a recent interview with Playboy, the former 'N Sync frontman couldn't have been more upfront: PLAYBOY: You’ve talked openly about using drugs, smoking marijuana. Are you still a pot smoker? TIMBERLAKE: Absolutely. PLAYBOY: Is it a creativity booster? I read you were stoned for much of the time you made Justified. TIMBERLAKE: The only thing pot does for me is it gets me to stop thinking. Sometimes I have a brain that needs to be turned off. Some people are just better high. It's an interesting interview, and JT seems like a pretty cool guy. Hollywood seems to think so too: JT is playing starring roles in the upcoming Bad Teacher, Friends with Benefits and other films. This isn't the first time JT has talked about his herb-smoking habits. I thought he looked baked on that episode of Punk'd! I was starting to wonder if Timberlake had been hot-boxing the studio with the boys from The Lonely Island after seeing these hilarious collabo music videos from Saturday Night Live. I've been getting high and watching these for a month: Dick in a Box http://www.hulu.com/embed/JwB8oTlBc_BndPOX5NpuHw Motherlover (feat. Justin Timberlake) [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0DeIqJm4vM&w=560&h=315] 3-Way (The Golden Rule) (feat.

"Yeah, he doesn't smoke weed," Samberg picked up. "He smokes weeeeeeeed. He smokes weeeeeeeed. He does not smoke weed." Jeremiah Vandermeer is editor of Cannabis Culture.

Talk Host Tokers

Talk host tokers By Dana Larsen - Sunday, May 29 2005 TAGS: CC55 Late night talk show hosts tend to be pot friendly Talk show icon Johnny Carson died in January, and his death was mourned by fans around the world. But what many did not know was that, like virtually every major talk show host that followed him, Johnny Carson was a fan of the forbidden herb. In a 1982 documentary called Johnny Goes Home, Carson took his viewers on a tour of his hometown Norfolk, Nebraska. He rode in his old High School's homecoming parade, and also took viewers inside the local movie theater, where he explained how he and his friends had first seen the classic anti-pot propaganda film Reefer Madness. "As a kid I did grow up in what was called an innocent age..." said Carson. "We had heard about marijuana, we weren't very sure what it was, but we found out because one day, right up on that screen, a picture played here in the late 30's called Reefer Madness. We didn't know what "reefer madness" meant either, but it had to do with the evils of marijuana smoking. Wayward girls would have terrible, wanton behavior. We didn't know what that meant, but we wanted some of that." Carson had previously explained his marijuana views in a 1967 interview with Playboy, when Carson was asked his thoughts on pot and LSD. "I don't put marijuana in the same bag with LSD or any of the hard narcotics," said Carson. "People are wrong when they say marijuana isn't addicting, though. I've known people who use it, known them all my adult life, and I know they are at least psychologically addicted. But it's just a mild stimulant, actually. And I think that the laws against its use are repressive out of all proportion." Although Carson avoided openly discussing his own personal political views on his show, saying "I just don't feel that Johnny Carson should become a social commentator," he occasionally let his open-minded fondness for toking slip through. Carson liked to imply that his band leader, Doc Severinsen, was a heavy pot smoker. One classic quip came when President Carter recommended in 1977 that possessing under an ounce of bud shouldn't be illegal. "The trouble is that nobody in our band knows what an ounce or less means," joked Carson. To which Doc replied, "It means you're about out." Jay Leno Jay Leno took over hosting The Tonight Show in 1992, and he has made pot-friendly jokes a regular part of his monologue, continuing Carson's tradition by implying that bandleader Kevin Eubanks is a toker. Although we have no evidence that Leno himself partakes of the herb, he has made a point of promoting pot culture on his show. Pot icon Tommy Chong also made his first post-prison appearance on The Tonight Show, with Leno complaining about the injustice of the anti-bong laws. David Letterman David Letterman also went through a phatty phase in his younger years. In a pair of interviews with Playboy magazine, he described his pot experiences. "I went through one period when I smoked a surprising, a really breath-taking, amount of grass almost every night," Letterman told Playboy. "One night I smoked down a big joint and then went downstairs and ate two pints of Haagen-Dazs ice cream and then went back to bed. An hour later I woke up and thought my heart had stopped. And the next day I went to a cardiologist and he said, 'Well, no, it didn't stop. Everything's fine.' And that was the end of my pot experiences." Jon Stewart The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is a popular show among counterculture news junkies. According to right-wing pundit Bill O'Reilly, 87% of those who watch The Daily Show are "stoned slackers." Yet O'Reilly was forced to apologize after research by Comedy Central found that Daily Show viewers are more likely to have college degrees than those who watch The O'Reilly Factor. Nevertheless, stoners will find favor with Stewart's unabashedly pro-pot jokes and performances. Stewart had a cameo in Dave Chappelle's pot-comedy Half Baked, playing the Enhancement Smoker. "You ever seen the back of a twenty on weed?" asked Stewart. "Oh, there's some weird shit in there man. There's a dude sitting in the bushes. Does he have a gun? I don't know man, I don't know. What? Red team go! Red team go!" Conan O'Brien Conan O'Brien has always been the talk-show host most willing to educate and have fun with pot humor. One of the very first episodes of Conan's show featured a comedian riffing off hemp humor, jokes about how hemp could be used to make paper four times more efficiently than trees. One classic cannabis character from Conan O'Brien's show was "Tokey the Anti-Drug Bong." Tokey would spew anti-pot propaganda, while also spewing smoke from out of his chamber. When Conan asked Tokey what the fumes were, Tokey replied "That's my sweet, sweet marijuana smoke. I mean I'm a bong, it happens, it's natural. I might be giving the kids a mixed message, but man, it does smell good." Steve Allen The first host of The Tonight Show was Steve Allen, who has been an outspoken opponent of America's drug war for many years. In 1955, Steve Allen interviewed stoner comedian Lord Buckley (CC#53, Dead Funny). Interestingly, Lord Buckley had another unlikely friend in the TV industry. Buckley was busted for pot possession in 1943, but the charges were dismissed thanks to intervention from Buckley's friend, Ed Sullivan. The multi-talented Steve Allen has another fun cannabis connection. His jazz Christmas album, Cool Yule, was recorded by ganja icon Louis Armstrong.

LA Celebrities Who Support Marijuana

Tommy Chong When most people think ‘Tommy Chong,’ they think Up in Smoke. That was the title of his 1978 film with long-time comedic partner Cheech Marin of ‘Cheech and Chong’ fame. In more serious matters, Chong has in many ways become the celebrity face and martyr of the movement to legalize marijuana. In 2003, he was charged for helping finance and promote Chong Glass/Nice Dreams (a drug paraphernalia company started by his son Paris). To protect his family, he pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to distribute drug paraphernalia. Chong served his sentence from October 2003 to July 2004. http://www.cheechandchong.com Alanis Morissette Amidst a sea of vocal male celebrities in the legalize Marijuana movement, Alanis Morissette is often cited as one of the few female celebrity proponents of the drug. In a 2009 interview with People magazine, the Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter admitted to occasionally indulging in medicinal marijuana. This doesn’t of course make her the poster child of the movement like some of the others on this list. But in a celebrity world in which every little personal admission is weighed heavily, hers was quite the victory for medicinal marijuana and ‘legalize cannabis’ advocates. http://www.alanis.com Jack Black Marijuana advocacy is no laughing matter; not even to comedic actor and musician Jack Black. The Tropic of Thunder star is serious and very public about his support of the cause. Along with 'bud buddies' Bill Maher and Adam Carolla, he is also on the advisory board of the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). http://www.tenaciousd.com Woody Harrelson The original ‘natural born killer’ is also a natural born marijuana advocate. Harrelson’s name always comes up when celebrities and the cannabis cause are mentioned in the same sentence. Not only was he arrested in his native Kentucky in the ‘90s for planting four hemp seeds as a political act, but he has also been a member of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana (NORML)’s advisory board since 2003. The Transsiberian star often lends a hand appearing at cause-related events like THC Expo in Los Angeles. http://www.facebook.com/pages/Woody-Harrelson/20565816807 Snoop Dogg The star rapper’s relationship with marijuana has been a roller coaster ride in the public eye. In his career, he’s played marijuana dealers. In his personal life, he’s sworn off hemp and then returned to it. He has been fined and arrested for marijuana possession several times. Once, in 2006, he was arrested after an appearance on The Tonight Show. He was even arrested in Sweden for suspected use in 2007. Despite his less than clean record, he remains one of the key vocal celebrity supporters of legalizing marijuana. He has spread the message from TV talk shows to his own live performances. http://www.snoopdogg.com Adam Carolla The radio and TV host has paid lip service to the marijuana legalization cause but has also spread his message through more official channels. He is a member of the advisory board at the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). The Washington , D.C. based organization, of which Bill Maher incidentally sits on the advisory board, emphasizes removing criminal penalties for marijuana use and attempts to make marijuana medically available to ill people with doctor approval. There have been rumors that Carolla is no longer a weed smoker himself. Regardless, he remains a notable supporter of the cause. http://www.adamcarolla.com Bill Maher If you’ve ever watched one episode of HBO’s comedic political talk show Real Time With Bill Maher, you know what his stance is on marijuana. But beyond defending his own beliefs on his show, Maher is one of Hollywood’s leading proponents of marijuana legalization. He is on the board of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana (NORML), a D.C. based organization that supports the regulated legalization of the drug. Maher is also often an eager participant in pro-marijuana festivals and events. Like the vast majority of other supporters of the cause, he proudly admits to being a regular marijuana user. http://www.billmaher.com John Mayer When he’s not out romancing every beautiful starlet in Hollywood, somehow singer-songwriter John Mayer finds time to contribute his creativity to the marijuana cause. In 2009, his single “Who Says?” sent some light shockwaves around the media. The tune’s lyrics begin, “Who says I can’t get stoned?” Though Mayer’s response to the media on it seemed to differ from outlet to outlet (he sometimes said the song was not about marijuana, other times he defended legalization), he qualifies as a celebrity advocate. At least he had no problem whipping out his marijuana vaporizer in the middle of a 2006 interview with Rolling Stone. http://www.johnmayer.com Written content & pictures taken from: http://losangeles.about.com/od/artsentertainment/tp/celebritymarijuana.htm By Shana Ting Lipton
