Editor’s Choice: Weekly Editorial Roundup – 4/7/2017

What’s more surprising: that famous crooner John Mayer has replaced drinking alcohol with marijuana or that there’s a rehabilitation center which allows its patients to smoke marijuana? In this week’s Editor’s Choice, we cover both of these topics and more: like the deep down deets on a little-known ale, sex toys that are WAY too serious, how marijuana can benefit the NFL, and a special announcement from The Fresh Toast!

Watch Backflipping T-Rexes Meet Parkour In This ‘Jurassic World’ Parody Video

Forget flying pterodactyls and ferocious velociraptors and free-spirited brontosauruses. While seeing those prehistoric dinosaurs rendered as a child watching Jurassic Park and its sequels, what would’ve really blown my mind was the video below.

Because what I really want is T-rexes who can do parkour.

This video comes to us via Devin Graham, a Los Angeles-based filmmaker and magician when it comes to producing these types of videos. He is prolific when it comes to producing adventure and extreme sport videos on YouTube, particularly combining that niche with pop culture behemoths.

In addition to the Jurassic World parkour parody—anything with that discombobulated T-rex head and a Chris Pratt lookalike doing parkour can’t help but cause laughs—he has also combined Pokémon Go and Assassin’s Creed with parkour, creating some seriously stunning visuals. If you’re really into the Jurassic Parkour video, there’s a behind-the-scenes package you should check out to see how it’s done.

Gossip: David Gest Hired A Hitman To Kill Elton John After He Came Out; Caitlyn Jenner Has Had Sexual Assignment Surgery

David Gest’s former body guard recently said the late entertainer once vowed to have Elton John killed.

Imad Handi has made the odd claim nearly a year after Gest’s untimely death, alleging that the attack was set to occur in 2003.

According to Handi, Gest became outraged when he found out that John had suggested that he was a gay man.

Once the former” Celebrity Big Brother” star caught wind of the rumor, he got in contact with a hit man who said he could help get rid of the gay icon for good.

“David approached him about the possibility of bumping Elton off,” Handi told The Sun Sunday. “No one knew his name but the… man said he had friends who could sort it for £40,000.”

He went on to say that he was put in charge of laying down a £20,000 payment to the hired assailant.

“I took the money in a white laundry bag to the Hilton village hotel and gave it to the man, “ the security guard claimed. “He said he wanted the remainder afterwards. I felt guilty but I felt loyalty to David.”

After he exchanged the money, he started to worry about what he was getting involved with and allegedly pleaded with Gest to call off the plan. Apparently, he listened and cancelled the hit.

“He eventually said OK but told me I had to get his money back,” concluded Handi. “The man only gave me £8,000 back so David lost £12,000 but at least Elton didn’t die.”

Caitlyn Jenner’s BIG Book Reveal: I’ve Had The FINAL Surgery: BOOM

This Irate Baseball Fan’s Bad Day Tirade Is So Relatable

This Irate Baseball Fan’s Bad Day Tirade Is So Relatable

In a nightmarish confluence of events, a New Jersey Transit train derailed on the holiest of New York baseball fans’ observances: Opening Day for the Mets.

An equally perfect coincidence occurred when an NBC 4 camera crew collided with rabid Mets fan Frank Fleming. The train derailment, which caused several mild injured and countless spikes in blood pressure, was ruining his plan to meet the Mets. This baseball fan has no chill.

An enraged combination of George Costanza and an air horn, Frank is decked out head-to-toe in Mets swag, from the hat to to the t-shirt and lanyard. His boxers are probably blue and orange, but we cannot confirm this. He runs the blog SportsEcyclopedia.com and has only ever missed one opening day in the past 19 years.

“New Jersey Transit is the ABSOLUTE WORST,” he screams into the void of Penn Station, his fitted cap jostling down over his eyes:

https://twitter.com/SInow/status/849056789861683202

It took Frank five hours instead of the usual two to get from his home in Belleville, New Jersey, to Citi Field. He missed the opening ceremonies, which he lamented in a later interview with NBC 4:

“I’ve always done the pomp and circumstance of opening day, where you get to see the wreath come out, the Shea family comes out, you get to see the first pitch. I didn’t see the first pitch. I don’t even know who threw out the first pitch. I didn’t get to see the national anthem. I didn’t get to cheer Cespedes when they introduced him. I didn’t get to cheer Bortolo Colon’s return”

His only consolation, he said, was that the Mets won the game. “If they would have lost, that would have been just the cherry on top.”

Frank, everyone who’s ever had a shitty commute stands with you.

The Fresh Toast Marijuana Legislative Roundup: April 10

The Fresh Toast Marijuana Legislative Roundup: April 10

The fight to legalize marijuana in the United States made some significant strides last week; reclassification is back on the table, West Virginia approves medical marijuana, and more.

National:

In the House of Representatives on Thursday, lawmakers introduced legislation that would reclassify marijuana from a Schedule I substance to a Schedule III substance, a move that would significantly loosen federal restrictions on the plant. Currently, cannabis faces the same restrictions as cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy, among other drugs prohibited under the Controlled Substances Act. The new classification would place marijuana in the same category as anabolic steroids, Tylenol with codeine, and other drugs with accepted medical uses and less risk of dependence. The bill is designed to make it easier for doctors, patients, and researchers to access cannabis for medical and scientific purposes. The legislation comes on the heels of a bill introduced the prior week that would remove marijuana from the list of controlled substances altogether.

West Virginia:

On Wednesday, the West Virginia legislature approved legislation to legalize certain forms of cannabis for medical purposes. The compromise legislation is much more restrictive than the initial Senate version of the bill, which included marijuana flower on the list of acceptable forms of medicinal cannabis, allowed for patients to grow the plant at home, and gave doctors discretion in prescribing marijuana for a wider variety of diagnoses. The legislation passed by both chambers and sent to the governor’s desk allows only cannabis in the form of tinctures, capsules, extracts, and oils to be prescribed for an enumerated list of conditions. This list includes epilepsy, PTSD, cancer, AIDS, and some other conditions. Governor Jim Justice is expected to sign the legislation, making West Virginia the 29th state to legalize medical marijuana.

California:

Governor Jerry Brown proposed legislation last week to streamline the state’s legal marijuana regulatory system. The measures would reconcile California’s robust medical marijuana industry with the new recreational system to be enacted in 2018. Under the legislation, businesses would be permitted to hold multiple licenses to grow, process, distribute, and sell cannabis products. Some critics fear this could allow criminal enterprises to consolidate control over an industry expected to grow to $7 billion annually following legalization. The California Growers Association is also concerned that this proposal would facilitate the formation of mega-corporations that would dominate the marijuana industry from production to retail. However, the measure would prohibit one business from owning more than three retail stores and pot farms larger than four acres. The goal of the legislation is to harmonize many aspects of the medical and recreational statutes while maintaining the two systems as separately-regulated industries.

Montana:

Rep. Marie Dunwell (D-Helena) introduced a bill in the Montana House of Representatives on Thursday that would create a committee to study the impacts of recreational marijuana and present a report to the legislature in 2019. The committee would explore the regulation, taxation, legalization, and public safety aspects of legalizing recreational cannabis in the state and finalize its report by late September 2018.

North Dakota:

North Dakota lawmakers this week gutted the medical marijuana measure passed by an overwhelming 64 percent of voters in November, which permitted the use of cannabis to treat several enumerated medical conditions. The new legislation bans edibles, restricts THC content in all cannabis products to 6 percent, and prohibits the smoking of marijuana flower unless specifically prescribed by a doctor. The legislation will now go to a conference committee to finalize the details of the bill before it is sent to the governor’s desk.

Oakland Company Donates Free Cannabis Products To Cancer Patients

Oakland Company Donates Free Cannabis Products To Cancer Patients

In 2013, Ron Gershoni bought a friend who was suffering from brain cancer a large jar of cannabis oil to help offset the nausea caused by chemotherapy. The treatment worked wonders for his friend, who told the Cannifornian that the “relief from the nausea was instantaneous” after taking a dab or two of the oil.

The experience inspired Gershoni and Matthew Lee and Nate Ferguson, his partners at Oakland-based Jetty Extracts to establish the Shelter Project which gives free cannabis oils to cancer patients.

“At first we were just giving free product to Alex,” Gershoni told the Cannifornian. “Then Matt went on a surfing trip and had a Zen moment coming out of the water. He said we should start an actual nonprofit where we’re registering people and put it on our website. It took off from there.”

To qualify for the program, you must have a cancer diagnosis and a medical marijuana card from California. “What I do is email them and let them know which one works best for me,” Oakland’s Kathy Chambliss said. “It relaxes me and helps me rest better. Everything doesn’t have to be a pharmaceutical.”

Shelter Project manager Lindsey Friedman described the company’s interaction with participants of the program. “We provide them with the resources to get educated on what types of cannabis there are and the different ways to consume it,” she said. “After they decide what’s right for them, then we make a plan for medicine.”

Japan’s Annual Festival Of The Penis Is Here And It’s Amazing

Japan’s Annual Festival Of The Penis Is Here And It’s Amazing

It’s not the size of your festival, it’s what you do with it.  Did we say penis festival?

Every spring, thousands visit the town of Kawasaki, Japan to partake in the Kanamara Matsuri, or “Festival of the Steel Phallus.” That’s right, it’s a literal dick-fest.

Festival-goers tote giant penis shrines on their shoulders, wear their best penis-themed outfits and eat, you guess it, phallic foods.

It isn’t just a quirky Burning Man copycat, but rather a serious affair with a rich cultural history. The festival was organized in the 70’s by the priests of Kanayama Jinja, a “place where couples prayed for fertility and marital harmony; during the Edo era, from the 17th to 19th centuries, sex workers would come and pray to be rid of the STIs that they picked up in the course of the job,” according to the Independent.

Its welcoming, lighthearted spirit isn’t meant to be obscene, but to celebrate fertility and diversity of life, as Kimiko Nakamura, former chief priestess at the shrine told the Independent:

“Officials who handle human rights from City Hall have come to the festival and handed out pamphlets, promoting this festival as a LGBT-positive, non-discriminatory event. This event has deep, wide roots in that kind of thinking, and we don’t want anybody to take it another way. We consider that there should be no discrimination against anybody including LGBT people, men, women, or people who aren’t either. Anybody should be able to come to this festival and enjoy it.”

Everyone from grandmas to small children attend the event. It may seem like a street party straight out of the bachelorette section of your local sex toy store, but it’s all meant in good, clean fun.

5 Things You Need To Know About Kansas City’s Marijuana Ordinance

5 Things You Need To Know About Kansas City’s Marijuana Ordinance

While Kansas City voted last week to eliminate the penalties associated with small time pot possession — putting this offense in the same classification as the average traffic ticket — the new ordinance has not exactly created a free-for-all with respect to the cannabis plant. In fact, there are still plenty of ways for the average citizen to get jammed up in the criminal justice.

Here are a few things you should about the new law and what it means overall for those people popped for pot possession.

First of all, the ordinance does not legalize marijuana in any way. The initiative that was approved last Tuesday by a majority of the voters simply forces the Kansas City Police Department to issue a $25 ticket to anyone caught in possession of up to 35 grams of pot. However, those people busted for this offense will still be required to appear in court, perhaps even running the risk of being slapped with a drug conviction.

Secondly, even though the new ordinance, which took effect last Wednesday, only looks to penalize petty pot offenders to the tune of $25, some of these folks will also be made to cough up an additional $48.50 for court cost. Depending on the circumstances, some pot cases could be dealt with in other counties, bringing about the possibility for higher penalties.

City Prosecutor Linda Miller told the Kansas City Star that there might be an “unintended consequence” for those offenders who opt to pay the $25 fine as opposed to having a lawyer plead their case. Since jail time is no longer an option for this offense, indigent defendants are no longer offered a public defender to assist them in a plea arrangement. This could cause some defendants to simply accept the conviction without understanding that even a minor drug-related blemish on their record could prevent them from qualifying for opportunities pertaining to education and employment.

What’s more is Legal Aid services are no longer available to those who violate the city’s pot laws. The local chapter of NORML, which is responsible for putting the decriminalization initiative on the ballot in last week’s special election, says it is currently working to assemble a team of pro-bono attorneys willing to go to bat for pot offenders unable to hire legal counsel on their own. However, it could be months before any sort of program is in place.

Perhaps the most important aspect of Kansas City’s new decriminalization ordinance is it changes absolutely nothing for those folks who get tangled up with Missouri State Police. These officers will continue to lean on state law, which makes possession of up to 35 grams a misdemeanor punishable with up to a year in jail and fines reaching $2,000.

Gossip: Bradley Cooper And Irina Shayk Separate As They Welcome Baby; Janet Jackson Divorce Payday

Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk welcomed their first child two weeks ago, but they are no longer a couple.

“Bradley and Irina slit before the baby was bon. They are still great friends and will raise the baby together but they are no longer a couple,” sources tell Naughty Gossip. “They love each other and respect each other but they are not together.”

Russian model Irina, 31, and Bradley, 42, did not find out the baby’s sex before the birth, instead opting for a surprise. They have yet to reveal the baby’s name or gender.

Irina Shayk has been keeping a low profily lately but she recently turned up at a farmer’s market in LA with her mother, Olga.

Irina was photographed looking svelte while shopping with her mother on March 30, but kept the news of the birth quiet while she recuperated.

She was previously said to be relishing her first pregnancy.

A source explained: ‘She has some major cravings and is indulging in all of them. She loves being pregnant and seeing her and Bradley’s baby grow in her belly.’

Janet Jackson Held Out in Her Marriage Just Long Enough to Cash In on Her Prenup

Janet Jackson split from Wissam Al Mana may have earned her a substantial payday. Now, Janet has coins all on her own — but Wissam has many, many more. His estimated net worth is at $1 billion while Ms. Jackson’s is estimated at $175 million.

“Janet did have a prenup with Wissam and they’re typically structured with 5-year and 10-year checkpoints — the longer you’re married, the more money you receive. She isn’t stupid,” sources tell Naughty Gossip. “Timing is everything. Janet and Wissam separated right at the 5-year mark.”

The baby factor also should play a significant role in Janet’s final payout.

Uruguay Will Become First Country To Allow Pharmacies To Sell Weed Over The Counter

On Thursday, Uruguay announced that it will become the first country in the world to sell marijuana over the counter in pharmacies. As High Times notes, the move comes four years after President José Mujica completely legalized the drug in the nation.

“Cannabis will be dispensed in pharmacies starting in the month of July,” president of the National Drug Board, Juan Andres Roballo, said at a press conference.

To qualify for the new program, medical marijuana patients will have to join a national registry. Initially, they’ll be able to purchase 40 grams a month, set at a price of $1.30 per gram, in five-gram containers. Later, 10-gram-containers may become available.

Sixteen drugstores will sell the legal marijuana, which will be grown in state-supervised fields to “guarantee the quality and the purity of the product.”
