Gossip: Katy Perry And Chris Martin Hooked Up; ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 9’ Is The Most Watched Series In History

The Sun is also saying that Katy Perry and Chris Martin  hooked up at Glastonbury. Supposedly they were seen holding hands. Chris was also supposedly seen kissing another artist, Dua Lipa, the day before.

His reps have denied the Dua Lipa part but so far haven’t commented on the Katy Perry rumors. So, basically, Chris Martin is doing at a music festival what a lot of people do at music festivals: random.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 9 is the Most Watched In Series History

According to VH1:

“[They] reported that 859,000 people tuned in to the Season 9 finale, which signaled a 218 percent increase over last season’s finale in the coveted 18-49 demographic.

The full season also saw a significant increase over Season 8, with a 122 percent increase in viewers in the same group.

VH1 also said the show was the highest trending television program on social media Friday, ranking in non-sports, non-news cable categories.”

The Latest On Arkansas’ Medical Marijuana Program

The Latest On Arkansas’ Medical Marijuana Program

Despite strong opposition from Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson and most of the state’s GOP Congress, the voter-passed Medical Marijuana Amendment of 2016 continues its slow and steady advancement and the program is on target to begin sometime early next year. Here is the latest on Arkansas’ medical marijuana program.

Arkansas, the first state in America’s Bible Belt to vote for medical marijuana, will begin accepting applications from patients, growers and distributors this week.

On Friday, Arkansas’ Medical Marijuana Commission will begin accepting applications from growers who seek to provide medical marijuana for patients in the state. The law, which passed in November with 53 percent of the vote, does not allow for citizens to grow their own cannabis, so this is a key step for patients.

Also on Friday, citizens seeking medicinal marijuana as a treatment will be able to begin requesting identification cards. According to a news release from the Arkansa Department of Health:

These cards will allow patients or caregivers to purchase medical marijuana at a licensed dispensary. Currently, there are no licensed medical marijuana dispensaries in Arkansas. Cards will be issued to qualifying patients and caregivers approximately 30 days before medical marijuana is available for legal purchase in the state, which is likely to be early next year.

The applications require a written certification from a doctor that the patient has a qualifying condition on an official ADH form. Letters from doctors will not be accepted; only a written certification on the ADH forms can be submitted for consideration.

According to estimates from state officials, there could be up t0 40,000 patients who will apply for medical marijuana cards. The cost to patients for a card is $50 a year. If the estimates are correct, the state will have $2 million in card fees before collecting any revenue from taxes.

Robert Brech, the state Health Department’s chief lawyer, estimated earlier this month that running Arkansas’ medical marijuana program will cost about $1.5 million in the next year.

The law allows for the following qualifying conditions:

Qualifying Conditions:

  • Alzheimer’s Disease
  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease)
  • Arthritis
  • Cancer
  • Crohn’s Disease
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Glaucoma
  • Hepatitis C
  • Positive Status for HIV and/or AIDS
  • Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
  • Tourette’s Syndrome
  • Ulcerative Colitis
  • Chronic or debilitating disease that produces:
    • Wasting Syndrome or cachexia
    • Peripheral neuropathy
    • Intractable pain
    • Severe nausea
    • Seizures
    • Severe and persistent muscle spasms

The Arkansas Department of Health provides a FAQ on the state’s medical marijuana program.

How Different Types Of Marijuana Affect Your Orgasms

How Different Types Of Marijuana Affect Your Orgasms

It’s a truth universally acknowledged that having sex while high is amazing. Women who’ve reported their experiences claim that their orgasms were longer, stronger and in some cases multiple. A less known but super interesting fact is that different strains of cannabis affect your body and sexual performance in different ways.  

While every person reacts differently to marijuana, experts believe that sativa strains are the best ones when it comes to having better sex, because they promote the contraction of muscles and provide an invigorating high that increases your blood flow. A good blood flow will maintain all important areas properly lubricated and will also help in maintaining your level of excitement.  

Indicas produce a reverse effect, making people more lethargic and paranoid, especially when consumed in large quantities. These strains still have their perks; some users prefer them over sativas and hybrids because they help them achieve full bodied and longer lasting orgasms. Hybrid strains will also do an awesome job because they’re more balanced and will make it harder for you to get too high to the point where it affects your performance.

If you’re interested in using other types of cannabis to enhance your sex life, you can try cannabis based lubes which are designed especially for sex and are meant to enhance your performance directly and without any distractions, like getting you too high or giving you the munchies. One of the most famous of these is Foria, which has gathered a following due to its amazing results.

Lance Herbstrong Releases “Ripped” Featuring Big Daddy Kane

Here’s the premise of the new time-travel film Ripped: Two hippie buddies from 1986 smoke secret CIA marijuana that causes them to pass out for 30 years. The Rip Van Winkles awake in 2016 and must navigate how society’s changed since Reagan was president.

Though older (and fatter), the buddies haven’t lost any of their enthusiasm. They decide to take cannabis entrepreneurship to the next level in our more carefree present day. The film is directed by Brad Epstein, who co-wrote the script with Billiam Coronel. Ripped stars Russell Peters and Faizon Love as the two time-traveling stoner buds.

But Ripped also showcases the popular mashup act Lance Herbstrong. We’re happy to premiere the band’s first original song titled “Ripped,” which also features Big Daddy Kane. Lance Herbstrong performs the song in the film and also appears throughout.

Lance Herbstrong has performed with various other acts live, including Perry Farrell, Massive Attack, members of Slightly Stoopid, Brad Wilk of Rage Against the Machine, and Lance Armstrong. Yes, the cyclist Lance Armstrong who provides their namesake and once sat in playing drums with the band.

Ripped premieres in select theaters Friday 6/23 as well as on iTunes and VOD. You can watch the trailer here.

Why We Love Manicures With Marijuana

Why We Love Manicures With Marijuana

Freeform, gradient, french, reverse french; these are all different types of manicures and none of them are as original as High Art nails. Louisiana Pham has been doing these nails in California for over two years and since then she’s been growing and developing her network of clients who are into this peculiar look. Her work can be considered high art because they are gorgeous, but also because of the pieces of marijuana leaves in them.

 

#weednails #dankdigits

A post shared by Louie Pham (@orchidnaillounge) on

This trend started because of a client who wanted a different kind of manicure for the marijuana show she was supposed to go to. Pham and her agreed that marijuana cartoons and designs weren’t enough, so they added some bits and pieces of marijuana leaves onto the nails and nail polish. It’s a methodical but simple enough process, where bits of marijuana are added onto the nails with a tweezer or mixed into the nail polish depending on the look that the client is looking for. This weed nail trend has grown in popularity the more marijuana has been legalized throughout the US, and Pham’s business has been replicated by other salons. The one thing she demands is a medical card, so all the cannabis used in her salon is legally purchased. One thing to keep in mind is the area where you live. Even if you’re not consuming cannabis, possession of it is still illegal in some states and having bits of bud on your fingers might not be the best idea. 

If you can’t get enough of nails and nail art, you can always check out “Claws”, the new TNT show that looks like a mix of “Breaking Bad” and “Spring Breakers”. It stars Dean Norris – yeah, from Breaking Bad – and it tells the story of a group of women who use their nail salon as a way to launder their illegal money.

Just remember to get your weed nails done in a state where cannabis is legal. You don’t want to end up like one of the girls from “Claws.” But that show also takes place in Florida, so weed or no weed, they’re screwed either way.

Gossip: Brad Pitt And Sienna Miller Handsy In Glastonbury; Kim Kardashian Criticized For Saint West’s Front-Facing Car Seat

Superstar Brad Pitt fueled talk he is in the early stages of a new romance with Sienna Miller by cuddling up to the Brit actress at Glastonbury. The pair were seen holding hands and stroking each other during a late night party session on Worthy Farm over the weekend. The A-listers met up at 3am on Saturday morning in the festival’s exclusive Rabbit Hole area before retiring to their VIP Winnebago.

A source revealed: “Brad and Sienna couldn’t keep their hands off each other, touching and stroking each other at every opportunity. They seemed really intimate. Brad had been keeping a relatively low profile at the festival, but emerged with the masses at 3am to link up with Sienna after she’d spent the night partying with their mutual pal Bradley Cooper and Noel Gallagher in the VIP Park backstage bar. They seemed keen to get away from prying eyes and made a dash for the Rabbit Hole, the festival’s underground and exclusive venue, with a group of friends and were inseparable as they waited to go inside.

“The party was cut short and they had to leave after five minutes because the venue was closing. Bradley Cooper left and Brad and Sienna headed back arm in arm to their private Winnebago.”

Brad, 53, was tee-total at the festival after revealing he had quit booze earlier this year to “become a better man” following his split from Angelina in August 2016.

Why Are These Schoolboys Wearing Skirts?

Why Are These Schoolboys Wearing Skirts?

Their school told these boys they couldn’t wear shorts and the days were hot. So the Isca Academy schoolboys thought of a loophole: their female classmates could wear skirts, why couldn’t they?

This led to a bare-legged revolution at the Exeter-based school. About 30 boys showed up in Thursday, either borrowing from sisters or girlfriends or someone else. Some went as far as shaving their legs to demonstrate the school’s dress-code policy, which strictly mandated no shorts.

One mother said her son was warned against such a protest.

“My son wanted to wear shorts but was told he would be put in the isolation room for the rest of the week,” the unnamed mother told Devonlive.com. “The head teacher told them, ‘Well you can wear a skirt if you like,’ but I think she was being sarcastic. However, children tend to take you literally, and so five boys turned up in skirts today — and because she told them it was okay, there was nothing she could do as long as they are school skirts.

“One of the five boys did get in trouble — because it was too short.”

One boy reported the skirt experience as “quite refreshing” while another enjoyed the “nice breeze” the fashion afforded him. Another boy was instructed to change because his legs were too hairy. This caused some older boys to bring razors and fix that hairy problem.

The story went viral overseas, with many local organizations writing stories on the skirt-wearing boys. Really, it’s a visual striking, funny, and endearing all at once. The fervor over the situation has caused the school to rethink their policies and release a statement.

“Contrary to news reports, we have not banned shorts; shorts are simply not part of our school uniform,” the statement read. “However, as summers are becoming hotter, shorts will be introduced as part of our school uniform next year having first consulted with students and parents.”

The lesson here is a simple one. Sometimes the boys just need to keep the boys cool.

Watch Aubrey Plaza Smoke Marijuana With The Weed Nuns

Watch Aubrey Plaza Smoke Marijuana With The Weed Nuns

Aubrey Plaza wants to be a weed nun. So she declares in a recent video which sees her toking up with the Sisters of the Valley, better known as the “Weed Nuns,” in promotion of her upcoming film The Little Hours.

The video is part of Cut’s “Strange Buds” series, which pairs unlikely smoking partners from opposite worlds. Their conversation vacillates between equal parts satirical, spiritual, and stoner. Sister Kate started her spiritual journey in 2011, back when Michelle Obama was urging Congress to prioritize health and wellness in school lunches.

“Michelle Obama tried to talk to Congress about how unhealthy our children’s meals are,” she said. “Congress declared pizza a vegetable because it made our children’s meals look healthier than they are. So I declared myself a nun. I said, ‘If pizza is a vegetable, I’m a nun.'”

The sisters, who prepare all their products during moon cycles, sell marijuana-based products and “create honorable, spiritual jobs for women.”

As their website reads: “The Sisters sustain their farm operations and their compassionate activism by making products for the people in a spiritual environment. They respect the breadth and depth of the gifts of Mother Earth and work hard to bridge the gap between her and her suffering people.”

But the fun comes from Plaza, who maintains her patented non-emotional stare throughout. She also shares a funny tale of hiding weed in her saxophone, though she’s pretty sure her mom caught her. They also debate the virtues of holistic medicine and whether or not Jesus smoked weed (“If Jesus lived, he probably smoked weed,” says Sister Kate).

Near the end of the conversation, learning the sisters’ marijuana ways, Aubrey Plaza admits, “I wanna be a weed nun.” Us, too, Aubrey. Us too.

The Fresh Toast Marijuana Legislative Roundup: June 26

The Fresh Toast Marijuana Legislative Roundup: June 26

It was a strange week in the cannabis world. In Vermont, the House of Representatives refused to consider emergency legislation during a special session. In Nevada, all sides are still battling over distribution plans as the July 1 deadline approaches. And in Massachusetts, a compromise “repeal and replace” bill passed. Find out about that more in our weekly marijuana legislative roundup.

Vermont:

On Wednesday, the Vermont House of Representatives declined to take up a bill to legalize recreational marijuana in the state during a special veto session. The bill, which passed the Senate in a voice vote, would have allowed adults 21 and older to possess up to an ounce of marijuana and grow up to six plants at home starting in July 2018. A commission would also be created to study the social and fiscal impacts of recreational marijuana in states such as Washington and Colorado. The commission would then make recommendations as to how Vermont should proceed in implementing cannabis legalization.

The legislation included provisions to address public health and safety concerns expressed by Governor Phil Scott when he vetoed a legalization measure passed by both houses of the legislature in May. The bill’s sponsors hope to bring the legislation up again during the 2018 legislative session. Governor Scott said that he will create a commission to study recreational marijuana in the meantime.

Nevada:

On Friday, Nevada regulators announced that they intend to issue recreational cannabis retail licenses to medical dispensaries despite a court order. In late May, a Nevada judge sided with a group of liquor wholesalers that argued that they, rather than existing medical dispensaries, should get first priority in applying to distribute recreational cannabis. The judge ruled that the Department of Taxation did not follow proper regulatory procedure in determining that insufficient interest existed among liquor wholesalers earlier in the year.

However, a spokesman for the DOT said Friday that the court ruling did not prohibit the state from issuing other types of licenses. This will allow medical marijuana dispensaries to sell their stock recreationally, but they will not be able to restock until the issue of distributor licensing is worked out. It is unclear whether the planned July 1 start of recreational sales will have to be postponed.

Massachusetts:

On Wednesday, members of the Massachusetts House passed a bill designed to “repeal and replace” a recreational cannabis measure approved by voters in November. The ballot initiative imposed a 3.75 percent excise tax on cannabis sales on top of the state’s 6.25 percent sales tax. Municipalities are also given the option of imposing up to an additional 2 percent in local sales taxes.

Under the House bill, the state excise tax would be increased to 16.75 percent and the municipal sales tax cap would be raised to 5 percent, in addition to the state’s regular sales tax. This would effectively increase the maximum tax on recreational marijuana sales from the voter-approved 12 percent to 28 percent, while imposing a stringent set of additional regulations. The bill would also give municipal governing bodies the authority to sharply restrict or even ban the opening of recreational cannabis businesses without consulting voters. Adults would still be allowed to possess up to an ounce of cannabis and grow up to 12 plants at home.

On Thursday, the Massachusetts Senate passed a less far-reaching bill to regulate the state’s recreational cannabis industry. The legislation would leave the ballot measure in place but amend the way recreational and medical marijuana are regulated at the state level. It would also expunge past marijuana convictions and require municipalities to hold referendums on whether to allow marijuana retailers. A conference committee will now be tasked with hammering out the differences between the House and Senate bills before a self-imposed July 1 deadline. Recreational marijuana sales are set to begin on July 1, 2018.

Why Marijuana Lovers Are Freaking Out Over Coconut Oil News

Why Marijuana Lovers Are Freaking Out Over Coconut Oil News

The majority of cannabis aficionados who bake edibles at home use butter. But coconut oil is gaining popularity in the cannabis kitchen because of its fat profile.

The American Heart Association gave Gwyneth Paltrow and health freaks — and even cannabis lovers — heart palpitations this week when it released a  study saying coconut oil was an unhealthy fat.

What the hell? Nutritionists, diet gurus, holistic healers and a host of others seeking a healthier lifestyle have considered coconut oil a “super food” and have been pushing the glories of the trendy exotic fat. You can cook with it. Wash your face with it. Shave with it. Brush your teeth with it. Remove your makeup with it. Have better sex with it.

Oh, yeah. It is also a go-to staple for cannabis chefs who use it for infused edibles.

But before everybody gets in a tizzy, let’s chill out a minute, ignore the sensational headlines and assess what the American Heart Association really said. After we’ve calmed down, we’ll discuss coconut oils and marijuana edibles.

What The American Heart Association Actually Said

The AHA did not come out with a brand new study demonstrating the health harms of coconut oil. What made headlines was merely an analysis of existing research on saturated, unsaturated and trans fats. As anybody who has ever gone on a diet before knows, unsaturated fats (found in fish, avocados, olives, walnuts and liquid vegetable oils) are much better for you than  trans fats (found in deep-fried foods, pizza dough, cookies and crackers) and saturated fats (found in meat from animals, dairy products and, yes, coconut oil.)

“There’s a disconnect between people’s general beliefs and what the data actually show,” Donald Hensrud, medical director of the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, told USA Today.

What Should You Do?

The bottom line from the AHA: Coconut oil is a saturated fat. It’s not a health food. We’ve known this for a long time. Should you keep that jar of coconut oil? Definitely. Just don’t drink the stuff. Use it in moderation. Enjoy the awesome taste.

And enjoy it as a topical cream or sexual lubricant or whatever you do with it. Just don’t freak out.

Do you know what will kill you before coconut oil does? Freaking out about coconut oil.

What’s The Cannabis Connection?

Now for the cannabis part. The majority of cannabis aficionados who bake edibles at home use butter. But coconut oil is gaining popularity in the cannabis kitchen because of its fat profile.

Cannabis contains fat soluble compounds, which means they break down more effectively in fat instead of water. This is why most edibles are high in fat: Cookies, brownies, fudge, etc. Coconut oil has been demonstrated to be one of the best fats for absorbing THC molecules.

Coconut oil, as the AHA points out is made up of 90% saturated fat. The higher the saturation levels, the easier it is for the fat to absorb the cannabinoids found in cannabis.

So if you are using coconut oil for your edibles, don’t stop. Just eat in moderation. And, again, do not get paranoid that your thighs are fatter.
