Expert: Mexican Drug Cartels Infesting US, Even Our National Parks
By Dana Kennedy - AOL NewsLost in the rhetoric about illegal immigration are new reports that Mexican drug cartels have moved into the United States, gaining a major foothold here that may be the start of a permanent expansion onto this side of the border. They're even growing marijuana in our national parks, one expert says.

Virginia Middle School Students Suspended for Oregano Possession
By Steven Hoffer - AOL NewsA few Virginia parents would probably like to know what local school administrators are smoking. Seventh-grader Adam Grass and three other students at Hickory Middle School in Chesapeake, Va., were suspended last week after being caught with what teachers initially thought was a bag of marijuana but turned out to be a stash of oregano, The Virginian-Pilot reports. Unfortunately for the disciplined boys, now facing expulsion, there isn't much of a difference between Italian herbs and Mary Jane, at least in the state's eyes. According to school board member Christie Craig, Virginia has a ...

James Franco Not Totally Baked During Oscars, Apparently [VIDEO]
By David Knowles - AOL NewsThere goes that theory? James Franco's rather lackluster performance as co-host of the Academy Awards set off a storm of speculation that the young actor/scholar/performance artist may have gotten high backstage before the show began. Pundits pointed to pictures of Franco in which his eyelids were captured at half-staff as some sort of empirical proof that marijuana had been smoked. But following a day of reefer theorizing, one of Franco's representatives decided that enough was enough and let the world known that the Yale Ph.D. candidate don't play like that. "James does not drink or do ...
Cops: Cheech and Chong Duo Sold Pot From Ice Cream Truck
By Ben Muessig - AOL NewsSome movies are ripped from the headlines, but this crime story seems like it comes straight from the movies. In a scheme reminiscent of the plot of a Cheech and Chong film, police in Louisiana have accused two men of possessing marijuana and selling it out of an ice cream truck in Mathews, radio station WWL reports. Deputies from the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office say Johnathan Trahan and Hunter Pitre were pushing pot from a dessert truck -- much like the protagonists of the 1981 marijuana comedy "Nice Dreams," in which Cheech and Chong peddle a potent form of marijuana ice cream from an ...

Soda Pot: California Company Creates 'Canna Cola'
By David Moye - AOL NewsCoca-Cola once called itself "the pause that refreshes," but a new line of marijuana sodas may be known as "the pot that refreshes." That's because each 12-ounce bottle of "Canna Cola" will contain 35 to 65 milligrams of THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Considering that the average dose of medical marijuana is about 25 milligrams, it's no surprise there's quite a buzz surrounding the product, which is scheduled to debut in Colorado cannabis collectives in February and cost $10 to $15 per bottle. Canna Cola Pictured are five different flavors of Canna Cola: Doc Weed, ...
