Hot Dog And The Lady Bun - Neverending Weed
Dear Hot Dog and Lady Bun,
My girlfriend smokes weed every day. It’s like she can’t hang out with me unless she’s stoned. I don’t smoke pot but what can I do to make her feel like she doesn’t have to smoke to have fun around me?

WASTED PEOPLE SAY THE FUNNIEST THINGS - LONDON 4/20 WEED PARTY
Last Friday was the 20th of April. In addition to being Hitler’s birthday and the anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre, it’s also 4/20. Which I think is weed’s birthday or something.
To celebrate, we headed down to the annual 4/20 Smoke Out in London’s Hyde Park to ask stoned people some really deep questions. Which we found by googling “really deep questions”.
fter making millions by smuggling weed from his Moroccan plantation to the rest of the world, and then being captured and convicted for the seventh time, pot baron Cees Hendriks decided to change his life and focus on refining cannabis seeds. Now he’s revolutionizing weed growth.

Each week, we ascend into an ivory tower to deign which photographic clichés should be banished from the world forever. This week:
That GPOY you took while smoking a joint, holding a bong or covering your kitten in cannabis flowers.
It’s not that big a deal you smoke.
It is a big deal you feel you need to show the world.
It makes you look like a tool.
So, stop it please.

The first psychiatrist who diagnosed me as bipolar and suggested I go on lithium ended up facing the wrath of my mom, a master in the art of passive-aggressiveness. “Have you asked her how often she exercises? How healthy she eats?” (She said this while eyeing the McDonald’s Value Meal on the doctor’s desk.) “How much pot she smokes?” The doctor walked us out, empty-handed, with the demeanor of a dog who’d just shat itself.
I was confused. I was fifteen. I was sure pharmaceutical drugs would come of this outing. So in the car I asked my mom what the hell had just happened. “That stuff will turn you into a robot, a zombie,” she said. “You’re not going on lithium – you’re creative.”
“Fine,” I said, trying to give the air of an ultimatum, like I had a choice in anything. “I’m going to keep smoking pot then.”
“Go right ahead,” she said. And for the next nine years, I self-medicated with weed.

DO YOU WANT TO JOIN MY CANNABIS CLUB?
The liberal political party in Germany, “Die Linke”, is pushing to make marijuana legal as long as it’s been cultivated in so-called Cannabis Social Clubs (CSCs). Under the proposed legalisation, people could become members of a CSC club and take a gram of marijuana home with them each day. Furthermore, motorists who are caught with THC coursing happily through their bloodstreams would not lose their licenses as easily. Similar legislation is already in place in Spain and Belgium, and unsurprisingly crusties and amateur stoners alike are attending such clubs in scores.
Since 2002, Georg Wurth has been the spokesman, director and owner of the German Hemp Collective. In 1996, he was charged with possession of four grams of marijuana, and so took it upon himself to get the ball rolling on the legalisation debate. To his misfortune (or fortune?), his charge brought him to the highest place possible, Germany’s Federal Constitutional Court, but it’s his 2010 petition, titled “Cannabis Consumer Decriminilisation”, that has played a major role in getting Die Linke to take these proposals to parliament.
I spoke to Georg the day before Die Link put the proposals he helped shape to parliament.

A LADIES GUIDE TO BUYING DRUGS
When it comes to marijuana the degree to which you take your look is extremely important, because if you’re not careful you could easily go from dressing chill to looking like a slob, which to a drug dealer translates into “this bitch is sloppy so I’m going to show up late every time she calls because she probably doesn’t even know what time it is.” So clean yourself up a bit.
