Geico for the greenery? Do tell… Medicinal Marijuana Growers Can Now Purchase Insurance For Protection Pot is on the top of a lot of minds right now. Oregon’s medical marijuana law has become one of the hottest election issues in Oregon’s attorney general race. Sixteen states and the District of Columbia now have medical marijuana laws. In just Oregon and Washington there are nearly 100,000 medical marijuana patients. Now this once fringe culture has taken another step towards the mainstream – growers and grower cooperatives can now buy insurance policies to protect their crops and marijuana inventories against losses. Insurance agent Dan DeChynne is one of the first to sell the pot policies in Oregon and Southwest Washington. “It covers every kind of possible case; fire, rain, or wind, theft, even raids,” he told KATU On Your Side Investigator Thom Jensen. We met DeChynne outside one of the new store fronts where patients buy medical marijuana insurance in Kalama, Wash. The policy at Releaf Medical Marijuana growers cooperative covers the brick and mortar, but it also protects the pot against losses from bugs, theft, fire and yes, even raids by local or state police. As he pushed a cart loaded with some of Releaf’s potent pain killer and sleep disorder pot called AK-47, manager Nate Hewitt told KATU the insurance protects patients more than anyone. “It’s priceless for me because of the value it is to the patients,” he said. Without the insurance, Hewitt said there are just too many variables that can ruin a marijuana crop or leave then vulnerable to raids and thefts. He said the insurance policies will help restore inventories more quickly after a loss so he can start delivering the medicine to patients. So how popular IS this new Indica insurance??? Michael Aberle of Statewide Insurance in Sacramento said his company underwrites between 3,500 to 4,000 marijuana policies right now. He said the industry cannot protect clients against federal raids because marijuana is still considered a controlled substance at the federal level. If insurance companies reimburse growers for their losses after federal raids, Aberle said, agents and insurance companies could be charged with aiding and abetting a crime. DeChynne said the policies begin at about $1,200 to $2,000 a year with a $5,000 deductible. My, my, how things have changed. How long do you think it will be before the government legalizes the green stuff? Source

The art of getting high has gone to a whole ‘nother level Snoop Dogg Releases New Book “Rolling Words” Made From Real Rolling Papers How cool is this? Snoop Dogg has figured out a way for his fans to get high off of reading. The veteran rhyme-slinger, with the help of San Francisco agency Periera & O’Dell, has created a smokable lyrics book called ‘Rolling Words.’ According to psfk, the book features lyrics of the Doggfather’s classic songs like ‘Gin & Juice,’ ‘Nuthin’ Like a ‘G’ Thang,’ ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot,’ among others, printed on rolling paper. The book cover was made out of hemp-like material with the spine doubling as a match-striking surface. In addition, the pages are perforated for easy tearing and sharing. A limted-run of the book will be available for concertgoers who attend the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival in Indio, Calif. The event takes place on April 13-15 and April 20-22, which Snoop is the co-headliner with Dr. Dre. Snoop says he created the book “So people can always remember, you can roll with an expert or you can roll with Snoop.” Images via SplashNews/Vimeo Source Hit the flipper to watch Snoop explain what his newest literary venture is all about.
Why the hell would you want to roll up some fraudulent funk??? It’s legal. It’s as easy to buy as aspirin. And a teenager you know has probably tried it. It’s “synthetic pot,” sold in corner stores as herbal incense or potpourri, and doctors and politicians say it’s becoming a dangerous scourge in the city. Dozens of people looking for a quick high are winding up in emergency rooms with alarming symptoms ranging from hallucinations and seizures to panic attacks and violent behavior. The problem is growing so fast that a major medical journal issued a warning last week about about the substance, often referred to as K2 or Spice. And Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is pushing for a nationwide ban that would make it illegal to hawk the condom-sized packets, which sell for $15 to $75 at stores and online. “People have the mind-set that this is ‘just pot,’ but it’s not,” said Dr. Lewis Nelson, a medical toxicologist at NYU Langone and Bellevue hospitals and director of training at the city’s poison control center. “Synthetic marijuana is really a misnomer. It’s really quite different, and the effects are much more unpredictable. “It’s dangerous, and there is no quality control in what you are getting.” There have been several reports of people acting irrationally and violently after a few tokes of the kounterfeit kush. Several teen deaths have been blamed on the Mary Jane substitute: Last week, a 17-year-old who was reportedly high on it fatally stabbed a sleeping schoolmate, Jasmyn Tully, 17, in Washington State because he felt “an urge to hurt someone,” authorities said. Last June, Max Dober, 19, was killed after he bought Aroma at an Illinois mall and crashed his car into a house at 100 mph. In June 2010, Iowa teen David Mitchell Rozga, 18, committed suicide in a frenzy of anxiety that his parents believe was triggered by K2. There’s nothin’ like the real thing baaaaybay!

Wanna be a baller??? While you may think a million dollars will give you financial security, it will not. Given the volatility in economies, governments and financial markets around the world, it’s no longer safe to assume a million dollars will provide you and your family with true security. In fact, a Fidelity Investments’ study of millionaires last year found that 42 percent of them don’t feel wealthy and they would need $7.5 million of investable assets to start feeling rich. This isn’t a how-to on the accumulation of wealth from a lifetime of saving and pinching pennies. This is about generating multimillion-dollar wealth and enjoying it during the creation process. To get started, consider these seven secrets of multimillionaires. Click to find out!!!
Richard Branson don’t give no fawks! The White House held its fancy state dinner this week, inviting lots of big-wig donors, and dignitaries to dine with the first family and Prime Minister David Cameron. Naturally, billionaire head of Virgin Atlantic, Richard Branson, was there too. But what did the brash billionaire do when he got a few seconds of facetime with Obama? He asked him if he could have some “tweed”. At least that is what he told those gathered at the offices of The Atlantic magazine. Patrick Gavin at Politico has the report: “I asked him if I could have a spliff,” businessman and Virgin Group honcho Richard Branson told a crowd gathered at The Atlantic’s Washington offices Thursday, the day after attending the dinner for British Prime Minister David Cameron. “But they didn’t have any,” Branson continued, according to a video of the event as he recalled his effort to procure some drugs the night before at the White House. Can’t even hate on him! We’re sure Obama gave him the wink and kept the party going. Source More On Bossip! Underrated Cakes: The Ladies With The Backs You Might’ve Mistakenly Missed Out On!
