Guy Does What With Vegetables In Public

He “engaged in a deviant sex act with a vegetable.”

Charles Robert Ransier, from Texas, has had a couple of tough encounters with the law throughout his life. In 2014, a policeman found him on a baseball field wearing women stockings as he “engaged in a deviant sex act with a vegetable.” No more details were provided on the police report. Two years before, he was caught doing some weird stuff with a squash; we can all guess what happened.

In 2017 he was sentenced to life in prison for tampering with evidence, possession of drugs and a history of 9 felony offenses. Some of his other crimes include getting caught on Interstate 35 with a syringe filled with meth while surrounded by several strange objects. There was girl’s bathing suit, which was perfectly laid out on the floorboard of the car, some bottles of viagra, candy, duct tape, lubricant and a cooler filled with cucumbers. He was only wearing a pair of jeans and had melted wax on his chest. We all know where this is going.

When the police man tried to arrest him, Ransier struggled and didn’t know what to do. Eventually he made it out of the car and was handcuffed, but not before he tried to break the syringe as a way of getting rid of the evidence.

Sadly, his petty yet disturbing crime history took a darker turn when he ran over a policeman while high on meth, adding more time onto his sentence. What we can learn from Charles is that meth is really really bad and leads to some questionable life decisions.

In addition, Rainier is not engaging in being vegisexual, which is when you engange in sexual intercourse with other vegetarians. It is the latest way to take action against animal abuse. and spread vegetarianism.

These Super-Fun Alpaca Dance Classes Are A Thing Now

You’ve heard of goat yoga, but are you ready for… alpaca dance classes?

Manitoba, Canada is now home to an alpaca dancing class for any age. Each class is followed by a 15-minute “meet and greet” with the alpacas. You’ll get to choose from some of the most ridiculous dancing alpaca-themed classes, including “Poppin’ Pacas” for hip-hop and “Camelid Cardio” for a sweatier workout.

“The people who have been here really like it. They love the interaction with the alpacas, they love that they’re so friendly. They’re good with the little kids – yah, people like it,” Ann Patman from 313 Farms told Global News. One of the dance class students, Stephanie Gerardy, added: “It’s really fun, it’s outdoors and the alpacas come right up to you when you’re dancing and the kids love it.”

Famous Dex Spends More Money On Weed Than You Make In A Month

Famous Dex Spends More Money On Weed Than You Make In A Month

You might think a rapper like Famous Dex can afford expensive habits. With the Hot 100 hit “Pick It Up” and an estimated net worth of $600,000, you can see Dex flaunting his wealth on cars, clothes, and a giant house. None of those, however, amount to the personal expense Dex laments the most.

That would be his weed habit, as the Chicago drill rapper revealed in a recent interview with DJ Smallz. Dex opened up about why he uses cannabis and just how much he spends a month on weed.

“I gotta stop that shit,” Dex said, after explaining he smokes “two, three zips a day.”

When DJ Smallz asked Dex to estimate how much his habit costs him a month, Dex didn’t hide the figures. He says he probably spends five to ten thousand a month on marijuana alone.

“It’s not worth it. I got kids,” Dex replied. He reiterated that his consumption habits doesn’t stop his ability to parent his kids properly, “but at the same time it’s not worth it because that money can go towards a house, it can go towards a building, I can invest that money.”

In fact it was Rich the Kid, whose label Dex is signed to, that advised Dex to “save the money.” The advice led Dex to start considering more investments that could pay off down the road.

However, it’s worth remembering that Rich made headlines recently for announcing he’s hiring two professional blunt rollers. Dex will have to wait for those investments to pan out before he can reach those heights.

Marijuana Prank: Teen Tricks Local News With Fake Weed Plant

Why does so much weird stuff happen on local news? While we can’t answer that question, one British kid couldn’t help continuing the trend when the local news station came to the neighborhood.

In the bucolic UK town of Kent, KMTV reporter Cameron Tucker was covering an illegal cannabis grow house. Tucker appears the consummate professional, plain-faced and evenly toned, as he reports the story. But one teenager couldn’t resist the opportunity to prank the journalist and most of the media world.

As Tucker begins his report, the teenager walks from behind the house carrying a leafy green plant. When the teen notices the camera and reporter, he appears spooked, and takes off sprinting. You might quickly assume it to be a cannabis plant on first glance, considering the circumstances.

Upon further review, it looks like a brilliant troll job from the teenager. The plant doesn’t really look much like a cannabis plant. But that didn’t dissuade major media platforms like Jimmy Kimmel and BBC from playing the clip and joking about the cannabis plant.

For the record, Tucker attested this prank wasn’t set up by himself or the news station. Since the teen ran off, the reporters didn’t have a chance to interview him after the fact about his intention behind the stunt.

Kudos are in order here. First to the teen for pulling the whole thing off but also to Tucker for staying calm under the circumstances.

What To Do When An Ex ‘Haunts’ You On Social Media

As if dating wasn’t already a nightmare. Now, we have to worry about haunting. Ever heard of it? It’s the term coined for when your ex likes and comments on your social media feeds. The two of you may have parted ways, but whether you like it or not, your former SO can’t seem to move on. You’re THAT amazing.

Unlike ghosting, where people just disappear from your life with no explanation, this new type of paranormal activity occurs when you get too much attention from someone you’d rather forget. Keeping close tabs on an ex can either be an ego boost for those who like attention, or creepy af.

According to dating website eHarmony, engaging with the ghost gives them exactly what they want. “You’re inadvertently acknowledging that their actions have affected you enough that you felt compelled to reach out.”

But in the long run, keeping someone in your life – even if it’s just digitally – will stop you moving forward and finding new, real-life connections.

The best thing to do in this situation, according to eHarmony, is to unfollow and block the person haunting you. “It might seem harsh – especially if it’s an ex that you’re struggling to let go – but it’s the only way to really move on.”

Plus, you’ll be doing your ex a favor. It’ll keep them from obsessing over your every Instagram like, post, and, as anyone who’s stalked someone on Instagram knows, who else’s photos you’ve liked.

https://giphy.com/gifs/workaholics-season-3-episode-2-3o6wrqT2KswJPK3KzC

Life hack: if you ever want someone who’s already following you to no longer follow you (without blocking them), all you have to do is block and unblock them. Voila.

Obviously, you can also unfriend your ex on Facebook or make it so they only have access to your public posts, which you can do under Settings.

Isn’t social media great?

Canadian Beer Industry Is Freaking Out About Legal Marijuana

Canadian Beer Industry Is Freaking Out About Legal Marijuana

Canadian brewers can see the righting on the walls. And they don’t like what the writing says.

The lobbying group that represents the Canadian beer industry is urging the federal government to boost the proposed tax rate much higher. Why? Profits.

For years, the clock has been ticking for national legalization of recreational marijuana for our neighbors to the north. And the ticking is expecting to end sometime in July. The resulting explosion is sure to rock the beer business.

“The potential for legal marijuana to cannibalize beer (in Canada) is much more significant compared to the U.S. because of our higher beer taxes and high prices,” Luke Harford, president of Beer Canada, said during a hearing last week before the Standing Committee on Finance. The committee was accepting testimony over Bill C-74.

Beer Canada, the trade group that represents 51 brewers, including global giants such as Labatt, Molson and Moosehead. The lobbyist organization’s members account for nearly all 90 percent) of domestic beer consumed by Canada’s 10 million beer drinkers.

Harford urged the committee to push for a higher tax rate for cannabis sales. “Domestic brewers are concerned that legal recreational marijuana is going to have a negative impact on beer sales, which on a per-capita basis have already declined by 10 percent in the last 10 years,” he said.

“The implication is clear. Low cannabis taxes will increase cannabis sales, while high beer taxes will decrease beer sales.”

Interestingly, Constellation Brands, an adult-beverage behemoth that owns Corona and Robert Mondavi among more than 100 booze brands, made a $190 million (245 million Canadian) investment in Canopy Growth, one of Canada’s largest cannabis companies.

On The Beer Canada website, espouses these principles:

  • Beer can be enjoyed as part of a healthy lifestyle
  • Beer is an integral part of Canadian culture and heritage
  • Beer is an agricultural food product that generates significant economic dividends
  • Beer complements food
  • Beer is the alcohol beverage of moderation

Simply remove the word “beer” and replace it with “cannabis.” Except for the last one (cannabis is not an alcoholic beverage, but it is a substance of moderation), it is clear that the beer biz has something to worry about.

Why Michigan Prohibitionists Now Support Marijuana Legalization Plan

Why Michigan Prohibitionists Now Support Marijuana Legalization Plan

If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. That appears to be the approach for one Michigan prohibitionist group that was originally created to fight cannabis legalization but is now supporting it. Of course, there is a caveat. And it’s all about politics, not sound policy.

The Committee to Keep Pot out of Neighborhoods and Schools, a political action committee established to combat a ballot measure to regulate marijuana, is urging the state Legislature to vote in favor of the proposal before the voters decide it. Why? Because the anti-cannabis PAC believes it can influence politicians to water down the existing law before the will of the people can decide for themselves.

It is one of the most cynical, partisan attempts by the Reefer Madness crowd to fight a losing battle. If the state lawmakers reject the PAC’s bidding, the full, uncompromised measure will be placed on the November ballot.

According to a report in the Detroit Free Press:

“This committee was initially formed to defeat the recreational ballot proposal, but now we believe that the Legislature should amend and adopt the initiative before it’s too late,” said Mark Fisk, a spokesman for the committee. Marijuana legalization “will be a reality in Michigan. Initiatives have been approved in 29 states and polling has been very strong.

“Regardless of our feelings on the issue, the question now is how to regulate and control recreational marijuana.”

Drug warriors — and the Republican Party — are fearful that having a marijuana measure on the ballot will lead to high voter turnout among Democrats and young voters. Many political pollsters are expecting a Blue Wave of progressive votes in November, so this gambit is designed to quell voter turnout in addition to execute some statehouse influence peddling.

Fisk told the Free Press that he is fighting to amend the current measure to maintain the onerous regulations in place for the state’s existing medical marijuana program. “We think the medical marijuana act that the Legislature passed had bipartisan support,” he said. “And that has a system of accountability that you need to bring to recreational marijuana, too.”

Republicans are still considering taking up the issue in order to bypass a popular vote. Democrats, on the other hand, want to put the issue in the hands of the voters.

There are a handful of other groups fighting against legalization. One out-of-state 0rganization — Smart Approaches to Marijuana, a leading prohibition outfit run by longtime drug warrior Kevin Saget — has already spent $275,000 to fight the measure.

The deadline for the Legislature is June 5. If there is no action, legalization will have to wait until November. Polling shows legalization is wildly popular among Michigan voters, especially among young voters and Democrats.

Attorney General Eric Holder Says Cannabis Not Addictive

Attorney General Eric Holder Says Cannabis Not Addictive

He held his tongue when he held the office as US attorney general. Now that he is a civilian, the nation’s former top cop is singing quite a different tune. Former Attorney General Eric Holders says cannabis not addictive.

In a story first reported by Tom Angell in Marijuana Moment, Holder says he does not worry about marijuana regulation leading to addiction. Holder’s position, of course, aligns with all available science.

According to Angell’s story:

“I’ve never seen any scientific evidence that points you to concerns about addiction through the use of marijuana,” former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in an interview published on Friday by NY1.

The comments by the former A.G. call into question cannabis’s current status as a Schedule I drug. That category is supposed to be reserved only for substances with no medical value and a high potential for abuse. In fact, it would mean that marijuana should be moved to at least Schedule III, where drugs with “moderate to low potential for physical and psychological dependence” are categorized.

While serving as AG under President Obama, Holder held firm against any movement to actually do what he now suggests: Reclassifying marijuana. But since retirement, he has been vocal about his true beliefs.

“We need to move marijuana from Schedule I, so research can be done,” Holder said in the new NY1 interview. “It is classified now on the same level as heroin is, and clearly that is inappropriate.”

Under Holder, of course, medical marijuana programs thrived in states from coast to coast. The Department of Justice under Holder issued what was known as the Cole Memo, guidance (not a codified law) allowing states to design and operate medical marijuana programs without interference from the federal government. Earlier this year, however, current Attorney General Jeff Sessions rescinded the memo.

Like most Americans who believe in social justice, Holder worries not about addiction, but unfair incarceration. As Angell reported Holder saying:

“One of the things that I am concerned about, though, is the racial disparity you see in the enforcement of marijuana law. You see African Americans, Latinos using marijuana at just about the same rates as whites, and yet seeing rates of arrest four, five times as great as it is for whites. That is something that I think is extremely troubling.”

Magic Mushrooms Could Help Treatment-Resistant Depression

Magic Mushrooms Could Help Treatment-Resistant Depression

Although people suffering with depression can sometimes go off the rails when it comes to sizing up what others are really trying to convey through non-verbal social cues, like facial expressions, a new study suggests that psilocybin-based treatments may be able to help these folks more accurately process their emotions and live a life less paranoid.

Researchers in the United Kingdom believe that psilocybin, otherwise known as Magic Mushrooms, might provide depressed people with a trapdoor to a more functional existence. Their study, which was published in the latest issue of the journal Psychopharmacology, finds that psilocybin seems to help those living with treatment-resistant depression feel less threatened by social cues than they otherwise would without the drug.

Psilocybin, which is typically used as a recreational gateway to unexplored parts of the mind, has been gaining some recognition over the past several years for its therapeutic benefits. This psychedelic substance has a unique power, in that it has the ability to completely alter a person’s perception of their surroundings in a way that, in some cases, changes them forever.

Researchers say depressed people often put a negative spin on view social cues, partly because their serotonin levels are out of whack. But psilocybin seems to help balance them out.

While only a small study, the latest exploration into the potential medicinal application of this mind–altering substance shows that it can help depression patients see the reality in facial expressions rather than manifesting some mental translation for which there is no basis.

Researchers found that those patients who consumed psilocybin were able to distinguish the difference between facial expressions showing happiness, anger and fear. Those subjects who did not receive the treatment showed no noticeable signs of improvement.

“This study found generalized improvements in emotional face processing after psilocybin for treatment-resistant major depression that correlated with reduced anhedonia [inability to feel pleasure],” researchers wrote, adding that additional research is necessary.

Depression is extremely common. Around 3 million cases are reported every year in the United States alone. Some people respond famously to traditional treatments, while others not so much. For these folks, most of whom cannot find enjoyment in anything life has to offer, it can be an uphill battle just trying to find a spot in the world where they feel comfortable. Yet, the latest study showed significant improvements in anhedonia scores in those patients given psilocybin. Researchers say treatment begins in a depressed patient’s ability to better recognize facial expressions.

Curious About Paraphilia And Other Things

Paraphilia is a fancy word for sexual deviation, which can range from harmless yet strange behaviors like being very attracted to feet (podophilia, if you wanna get technical) to the more disturbing and famous deviations, like pedophilia.

There are all types of sources for sexual arousal and many of them aren’t disorders, that’s to say that they don’t impair people’s lives. They’re just quirks you might’ve not noticed. Anil Aggrawal, renowned doctor and professor, said it best with this quote, “like allergies, sexual arousal may occur from anything under the sun, including the sun.”

We’ve compiled a list of the weirdest – and we mean weird – paraphilias we could find. Check out the list below to see if your quirky sexual preferences made the cut.

Actirasty

The word sounds a little like arachnid, but no, thankfully it has nothing to do with spiders. Actirasty is the sexual arousal to the sun’s rays. For those who take their love of the beach a little too far.

Katoptronophilia

That’s a scary name for people who get turned on by having sex in front of mirrors, which isn’t all that weird.

Psellismophilia

Arousal to stuttering. Which is really nice for people who have a stutter.

Agalmatophilia

Watch out museum goers, there are people out there who’re actually attracted to statues. Now you know to keep your distance when someone seems a little too into the mannequin at the store.

Climacophilia

Stairs. Or better yet, getting turned on by falling down the stairs.

Melissaphilia

Arousal to bees and wax. We can wrap our minds around the wax part, because candles and all of that, but… bees?!

Nasolingus

The name pretty much says it all; there are people in the world who get turned on by sucking on other people’s noses.

Psychrophilia

While it sounds slightly murder-ish, this paraphilia claims that some people get aroused by being physically cold and watching others be cold. That’s just cruel.

Stygiophilia

Arousal to the thought of hellfire and damnation. Just… Wow. 

Teleiophilia

Arousal to reproductive-aged adults. Which sounds very appropriate and healthy.

Xylophilia

Getting turned on by wood. Literally.
