Sounds Like Heaven: Someone Left 67 Pounds Of Marijuana In A Casket

It’s hard to believe we have to keep having this talk, but here we are. Once more for those just tuning in: We are not here to narc on how you came upon an unfortunate situation, whether you’ve misplaced your drugs in Sam’s Club, snuck into someone’s house to steal placenta, or accidentally shipped a lot of weed to a pastor in Pennsylvania.

But, folks, it must be said: If you have lost track approximately 67 pounds of marijuana recently, the authorities have found it, and it’s probably not where you think you left it.

According to a Salt Lake City local news station, Border Patrol Agents stopped a hearse near Tombstone, Arizona Saturday evening at an immigration checkpoint. Inside was a casket full of, you guessed it, marijuana. And some manure, but mostly marijuana. As Fox 13 reports:

Border patrol agents encountered “several inconsistencies” during the stop and requested a canine unit. The dog alerted agents to the presence of drugs, and a search yielded 67 pounds of marijuana concealed inside the casket in the hearse. There were also several bags of manure in the load, which border patrol agents say was an attempt to disguise the smell of the marijuana. The hearse and drugs were seized by authorities. The driver, a 28-year-old U.S. Citizen whom authorities did not identify, was arrested for alleged narcotics smuggling.

Please, if you must transport nearly 70 pounds of weed, do it legally and without the use of a funeral vehicle. Thank you.

These Little Nut Butter Canna-Cakes Are Your New Best Friend

Do you have almond butter, eggs, sugar, and cannabutter on hand? If so, you could be enjoying these cannabis almond butter mini cakes in just about 20 minutes from now.

These mini cakes have a lot going for them. For one, they’re gluten-free, so if you’re avoiding flour for health or diet, they’re a perfect way to still enjoy cake while avoiding grains. Second, they don’t require too much time: the recipe comes together in less than ten minutes, and then requires only about 10 more minutes to bake. Third, they have a healthy dose of cannabutter, so they’re bound to take you to beautiful places.

Oh, and it bears mention that this recipe is open to substitution. If you don’t have (or don’t like) almond butter, you can go ahead and try this recipe with peanut butter or another nut butter of your choosing.

Makes 6 mini cakes

  • 2 eggs
  • 4 ounces almond butter
  • 2  Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons cannabutter, very soft (I used cannabis coconut oil)

Optional added flavorings (if desired): pinch of salt (suggested if the almond butter is unsalted), ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract.

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Either line 6 cups of a muffin tin with cupcake liners, or grease the crap out of them with butter or shortening.

2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the eggs until they have doubled in size and become lighter/opaque-looking in color; this can take anywhere from 3-6 minutes.

3. Pause the mixer; add the almond butter, sugar, and cannabutter. Whisk on the lowest speed until just combined and cohesive. If your almond butter is really thick, then switch to the paddle attachment.

4. Divide the batter evenly between the 6 cups (they’ll be about halfway full).

5. Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until golden on the edges and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean. Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly before turning out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

6. If desired, garnish with a confectioners’ sugar glaze, icing of your choice, almond slivers, or confectioners’ sugar dusted on top.

A note on dosage

I “dosed” this recipe with 1 teaspoon of cannabutter per serving (3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon). The strength of your finished product will depend on many factors, including the type of marijuana you used and how you made your cannabutter. Adding more cannabutter can affect the texture of the finished goodies. For more tips on proper dosage, visit this post.

Gossip: Facebook Announces 3000 New Staffers To Monitor For Crime And Suicides; Real Housewives Were Not Allowed At Met Ball

Posted this morning by Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg:

Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen people hurting themselves and others on Facebook — either live or in video posted later. It’s heartbreaking, and I’ve been reflecting on how we can do better for our community.

If we’re going to build a safe community, we need to respond quickly. We’re working to make these videos easier to report so we can take the right action sooner — whether that’s responding quickly when someone needs help or taking a post down.

Over the next year, we’ll be adding 3,000 people to our community operations team around the world — on top of the 4,500 we have today — to review the millions of reports we get every week, and improve the process for doing it quickly.

These reviewers will also help us get better at removing things we don’t allow on Facebook like hate speech and child exploitation. And we’ll keep working with local community groups and law enforcement who are in the best position to help someone if they need it — either because they’re about to harm themselves, or because they’re in danger from someone else.

Once Again, No Real Housewives Were Allowed At The Ball

“Every year they try top get an invite but Anna Wintour just doesn’t want them. The only one with a chance is Countess LuAnn. People like her and she knows how to behave,” a source tells Naughty Gossip.

“But, Bethenny and Ramonna, forget it. Those two are a disaster. Vogue doesn’t want them and the designers do not want them either. The MET ball is a fancy event. Bethenny would try to plug her drink collection on the red carpet or pull some PR stunt. No thanks.”

The Best 10 Questions Kids Have Ever Asked During Sex Ed Classes

Sex is stressful, especially when you’re a kid and you don’t understand why everyone keeps going on and on about the subject. It can still be a stressful topic as an adult, but you get the point (Sex = stress). Sex ed classes should provide at least two things: endless amount of condom and banana jokes, and a safe space where kids can ask the craziest and weirdest questions they can think of. Great teachers allow shy kids to write down the questions they’re too embarrassed to voice and allow the more outspoken ones to speak their minds. All is fair in sex ed class. 

We’ve gathered the best and craziest questions that kids have asked during their sex ed classes and put them together on this amazing list. Bless their teachers for not running away:

I remember during sex ed a kid asked if you could pee while having sex

I remember we was in Sex Ed & Jalen asked the dumbest question he said “Do you breathe when having sex?” ??????????

Agreed.

9 Tips And Tricks For Using Marshmallows That Don’t Involve A Campfire

9 Tips And Tricks For Using Marshmallows That Don’t Involve A Campfire

The easy thing to do with marshmallows is to squish melty ones between graham crackers and chocolate. But there are so many other things you can do with these fluffy wonders of nature (they grow on trees, right?) that don’t involve a burn unit. Here are 9 ways to introduce marshmallows into your diet without an open flame.

1. As A Pain Reliever

We’re not saying you should try and get a sore throat as an excuse to eat some ‘mellows, but the gelatin they contain has been proven to ease pain. Something to look forward to next time you’re curled up on the couch in pain. Or not.

2. DIY Marshmallow Pops

Cake pops are way too labor intensive. Simply skewer a marshmallow with a colorful straw, dunk in chocolate or frosting, roll in some sprinkles and enjoy. Or wrap up and use as party favors.

3. Give Yourself A Pedicure

Stick marshmallows between your toes before you polish. #savethecottonballs

4. Add Them To Brownies 

As soon as the brownies come out of the oven, sprinkle the pan with mini marshmallows to speed up the melting process. Top with chocolate for extra decadence.

5. Make Frosting

The words “marshmallow frosting” will ignite a case of the drools in anyone. And the recipe is a super simple one if you own a mixer.

6. Add Them To Your Cappuccinos

Have you ever had a malloccino? It’s like a cappuccino, but with marshmallows added to the hot foam. It’s heavenly.

7. Make Marshmallow “Poutine”

Before you throw up in your mouth, just picture a sweet potato pie —  same thing! Okay, not really. But it’s close. Throw some marshmallows on top of your sweet potato fries and nuke (or broil) for a Thanksgiving treat. Similarly, make some loaded sweet potato skins using  mini mallows if the idea of marshmallow “gravy” is too much.

8. Make Affogato

Instead of vanilla gelato, pour a shot or two of espresso over some marshmallows (homemade are best).

9. Make Dessert Nachos

It’s exactly what you imagine: cinnamon chips topped with melted chocolate, marshmallows, and anything else you like, really. Add some peanut butter and/or whipped cream dipping sauces…

Why Facebook Challenges Have Gotten Lame And How To Change The Trend

Why Facebook Challenges Have Gotten Lame And How To Change The Trend

Facebook trends used to be really fun, creative and silly. Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge? The Running Man Challenge? Kylie Jenner lips? Good times! I did all three in an afternoon. Now it’s all about boring stuff that is just a tweak away from being awesome.

A list of 10 things you have done, one of which is a lie is the newest trend. It’s stupid because it’s always an unimaginative subject. Concerts, TV shows, and places visited are the most common lists posted. If this has to be a thing, make it interesting. Why not “10 Useless Things I Would Spend My Tax Refund On One Of Which Is Illegal” or “10 World Leaders I Would Sleep With One Of Which Is With Me Right Now.” Spice it up!

Another eye rolling trend is a meme asking us to like or share it. One like equals one prayer. One share equals one miracle. Only 1% percent of people will have the courage to post this to their wall. Whoever invented this trend is a straight up psychopathic, butterfly shooting, orphanage burning monster. Nobody wants to participate in the sharing trend but you do it because you’ll feel guilty if you don’t. The worst part is it doesn’t make a difference to anybody if you like or share at all. Instead of sowing guilt, make something people would want to like and share. One like equals a ten cent donation to Make A Wish Foundation. One share equals a guaranteed faster time at your next DMV visit. Hell, we’ll make your enemies disappear if you post a comment. Incentives!

Ghandi probably once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” That’s why I lead by example and try make a trend more interesting or I ignore it completely. I was alone when I put a twist on it and did the Scalding Water Challenge but my screams and second degree burns helped add a new approach to Facebook trends and you can too.

Only 2 percent of people will read this article in the bathroom.

Gossip: Kim Kardashian Reveals Why Kanye West Skipped The 2017 Met Gala; Beyoncé’s Formation Tour Microphone Sells For How Much?

No Yeezy? Kim Kardashian turned heads at the 2017 Met Gala in New York City on Monday, May 1, when she walked the red carpet in a white, off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood Couture dress. But she was missing one thing: her husband, Kanye West.

“He’s at home,” the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, 36, told Vogue’s André Leon Talley. “He’s been taking some time off and really loving that.”

The rapper did not accompany his wife of nearly three years to the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s costume institute gala for the first time since 2013, when they made their debut as a couple while Kardashian was pregnant with their daughter, North, now 3.

Do you believe her?

Beyoncé’s Formation Tour Microphone Sells For How Much?

The new owner of Beyoncé‘s Formation Tour microphone paid a hefty hunk of cash to make it theirs.

The mic was auctioned off over the weekend at the Wearable Art Gala in Los Angeles, an event thrown by Bey’s mom, Tina Knowles-Lawson.

Queen Bey’s mic from her Formation World Tour and at the Grammys has a new owner … all for the price of $11k.

It was auctioned off over the weekend to a woman named CeCe Hendriks.

Fail: Florida Medical Marijuana Bill Bans Smoking, Discourages Doctors From Participating

Fail: Florida Medical Marijuana Bill Bans Smoking, Discourages Doctors From Participating

The Florida Legislature is on a mission to let everyone in the state know that, despite a large majority of the voters passing an amendment in the election last November for legal Florida medical marijuana, the suits are in complete control of how the law shakes out.

Earlier this week, Florida’s House of Representatives put its seal of approval on a piece of legislation that would finally allow the state’s newly legal medical marijuana market to take shape.

However, the proposal that lawmakers have deemed appropriate to accomplish this matter (HB 1397) is designed to give only those patients suffering from a “debilitating disease,” such as cancer and epilepsy, access to the herb. It also bans the consumption of smokeable marijuana, forcing patients into a situation where they will have to purchase expensive edible products or continue to frequent the black market.

Ben Pollara, policy director for United For Care, the organization responsible for bringing the medical marijuana amendment to the voters, told the Miami New Times that while the legislature has “made significant improvements” to their vision of Florida’s medical marijuana law, it “is still a fatally flawed piece of legislation.”

Although the latest limitations are discouraging, they have nothing on one particular snag tucked inside the bill that will undoubtedly ensure that patients are not accessing the herb as easily as originally envisioned. That’s because the language of the bill forces doctors to “prescribe” medical marijuana rather than issue “recommendations,” a battle of semantics that is destined to keep most doctors far away from the program.

Since anything derived from the cannabis plant remains illegal in the eyes of the federal government, doctors can get into some serious trouble if they “prescribe” marijuana. However, the First Amendment protects their right to offer patient recommendations.

But as long as the law calls for prescription marijuana, Pollara says patients will be pushed into visiting “the scummiest pill-mill docs” to obtain a pass to use legal weed.

All of this has been done, he says, as an act of “willful ignorance” on the part of legislative forces to prevent as many people as possible from gaining access to the program.

The bill is now on its way to the state Senate, where there is hope that some reasonable revisions will be made. But time is of the essence. As of Wednesday, the State Legislature only has three days before the end of the legislative session. If the bill fails to pass during that time, the implementation of the state’s medical marijuana will be delayed even further.

23 Easy Ways To Make Your Breakfast More Instagramable

Breakfast used to be as simple as pouring some milk over some mono-colored cereal or slicing a banana atop of your Wheaties and calling it a day. Now, instead of grabbing a quick bite and heading out the door, you have to think about its level of attractiveness. Everyone is watching, or at least it seems. Instagram will have you thinking that while you’re sucking down your expired Yoplait, someone else is out there staging a damn photo shoot in their loft apartment with floor-to-ceiling windows, flooding light into their bowls and onto their toast, creating an etherial morning meal. Here are some healthy ingredients you can toss into your bowl (or on your plate) to beautify your food.

What Is Exploding Head Syndrome And How To Tell If You Have it

What Is Exploding Head Syndrome And How To Tell If You Have it

This rare disease has a lot of mystery surrounding it, but it’s definitely not as bad as it sounds. Exploding Head Syndrome sounds like the end of the world but in reality it’s a sleep disorder that affects around 13 percent of the world’s population at some point in their lives. The disease manifests itself as a super loud sound, as if a door slamming, right when people are about to fall asleep or are about to wake up. Doctors explain the disease as nerves misfiring when our system is shutting down or waking up.

The origins and causes of the disease are still unknown but doctors believe that the reticular formation of the brain, located in the back of it, is involved in some way. Brian Sharpless, editor of the book ‘Unusual And Rare Psychological Disorders’ explains what happens to patients who suffer from Exploding Head Syndrome.

“Going to sleep is sort of like shutting down a computer. The brain goes through a series of steps. One of these steps involves “shutting down” the brain cells that are responsible for hearing, called the auditory neurons. When someone has exploding head syndrome, instead of shutting these neurons down, something could cause them to fire all at once, leading the person to “hear” a sudden, loud noise in his or her head.”

A study was conducted on some college students who’ve struggled with this disease at some point in their lives. The results demonstrated varied results, that some students suffered some episodes one time in their lives, while others reported around 150 different episodes. There were some recurring factors that the students expressed, like the fact that the most common sounds they heard was the sound of someone dropping an object from a height, a loud bang or a slamming door. All pretty crappy things to wake up to. This noises come accompanied with a racing heart, fear and even a flash of light.

The name was coined in 1985 but there’s documentation of the disease’s existence as early as the 1800’s where the condition was reported as some strange sensory discharges. Some people have claimed that the origin of the disorder comes from government people pointing directed energy weapons at them, which clearly proves that no one knows a thing about sleep disorders.
