I have no choice but to appreciate what Rihanna is doing with her social media…from erotica…to weed head erotica….even though I am not a weed head….just a person who appreciates people who are so fucking delusional….you know with their insane lifestyle…yet still have time to appreciate the simple things in life…more importantly share the simple things in life with their millions of fans…especially when the simple things in life are semi pornographic and semi illegal… It’s like Lohan and other celebs all hid their drugs….even when walking around with coke all over their faces…yet Rihanna puts it out there like she’s fucking Gangster…and that to me…is amazing…but then again I am not the parent of 10 year old girls who follow her every criminal move….

Wow. These new synthetic drugs are no joke. Via NBC News: Johnny Lewis, an actor in the popular “Sons of Anarchy” motorcycle-gang cable drama, died early Wednesday in Los Angeles, suspected of killing his 81-year-old former landlord, Catherine Davis, and possibly himself. Police think the 28-year-old rising star, who played Kip ‘Half-sack’ Epps on the FX show, may have been under the influence of a drug few have heard of, a substance known informally as “Smiles.” It’s part of a new wave of synthetic drugs finding their way onto America’s streets and into its clubs. With the chemical name 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine, it is known by drug agents and chemists as 2C-I, part of a closely-related family of “2C” drugs. Like all the 2C drugs, it’s a psychoactive, hallucinogenic chemical that alter the brain’s balance of dopamine and serotonin. Smiles is particularly powerful, binding to serotonin receptors in the brain at 20 times the rate of another drug used in schizophrenia research, according to an experiment performed by Purdue University chemists. The effects of 2C-I, like those of LSD, can last up to eight hours. But because the effects can take time to appear, users may think they haven’t taken enough to get the desired high, and so take more, risking overdose. The drug can be taken as small tablets, on pieces of blotter paper like LSD, or in powder form, often mixed with something else, like chocolate. Labs, often located in Europe or Asia, can use legal, common chemicals to produce huge batches of the drugs. Once one formulation is discovered, and banned, all the chemists have to do is slightly alter the structure of the molecules to create another, potentially legal, substitute until that one is banned. There is no known geographic hot spot for the 2C drugs, unlike, say, methamphetamine, which became known as a rural, small-town problem. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration believes that most, if not all, the 2C drugs are being imported to the country, not made domestically.

Didn’t expect to hear that… Paul Ryan Supports State Decision For Legal Medicinal Drugs In an interview with Colorado station KRDO-TV, Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan says he believes it’s up to the states to decide whether to legalize medical mary jane. “My personal position on these issues has been let the states decide what they want to do with these things,” he explains. “This is something that is not a high priority of ours.” Pun intended? Voters in Colorado will decide whether to legalize medical mary jane this November with Amendment 64 on the ballot. According to KRDO-TV, Ryan made clear that he “doesn’t believe” in the effort, but he nevertheless feels the issue should be reconciled at the state level. Here is what “Money Makin” Mitt says about the sticky-icky: Campaigning in New Hampshire during the GOP primary, Mitt Romney was asked on several occasions whether he supported medical mary jane. He became visibly frustrated. “I have the same position this week I had last week when you asked the question,” he said, before arguing fairly loosely that medical mary jane should be banned because it might lead to broader mary jane legalization, which might in turn lead pot smokers to try hard drugs. “The entryway into our drug culture for our young people is mary jane,” Romney said. “mary jane is the starter drug. And the idea of medical mary jane is designed to help get mary jane out into the public marketplace and ultimately lead to the legalization of mary jane overall. And in my view, that’s the wrong way to go.” Those folks on the Republican side of things might not like this too much. Image via Shutterstock Source
