VALUE-FOR-VALUE

Thank you to our executive producers Lavish of Behind the Sch3m3s, CMike, and NetNed!

Bowl After Bowl operates on the value-for-value model, inspired by Adam Curry, the Podfather himself. This means every episode is available to everyone on the interweb free of charge. No paywalls, subscription fees, or advertisements, which frees content creators and consumers alike from the confines of mainstream slavery.

Listeners (you bowlers out there) get an unlimited free trial with only a karmic contract to balance the value as long as they consume it, but there’s no set set price. Just total freedom for the bowlers around the world.

All we ask is that you don’t be a mooch! If you like what you’ve heard on Bowl After Bowl and have received some form of value from it, give that value back. Check out our Donate page to see ways to send your cuckbucks or cryptocurrencies. We love boosts and streaming sats! But we also love the artists out there who contribute jingles, clips, art, stories, and leave voicemails.

If you’re set in your mooching ways, at least practice some basic stoner etiquette and pass the Bowl to someone you think might enjoy it.

BEHIND THE CURTAIN

Illinoisissued 70 recreational licenses yesterday (Monday, August 2, 2021) of which more than 80% fell under the category of social equity ownership and more than two-thirds identify as non-white, as the press release states. They were only able to do this because Michigan-based Sozo Health dropped their lawsuit.

As discussed on Bowl After Bowl Episode 94: So Many Crimes, social equity qualifications were updated in Illinois to remove what social equity activists call the “slave master clause,” which allowed companies hiring a majority of individuals living in disproportionately Drug War impacted areas or with cannabis convictions to qualify. This knocked Sozo out of the competition, so they filed a lawsuit on July 16, 2021 but dropped it on July 27, just two weeks later.

Three days after Sozo’s lawsuit was dropped, three entities filed a lawsuit in Illinois claiming they have been wrongfully excluded from the upcoming August 19th retail license lottery. Since they plan to employ the majority of workers from disproportionately impacted areas and two are military veteran-owned, they claim they should qualify. These entities are all connected to Chicago-based Justice Cannabis which currently operates in eight states.

Last month, the Montana Department of Revenue announced they would propose rules for medical medical marijuana providers as they prepare for recreational sales to begin January 1, 2022. Those proposed rules have been introduced and are now open for public comment until August 23, 2021. A public hearing is scheduled for August 13, 2021.

The proposed rules affect most advertising by limiting businesses to two outdoor signs 11-square-feet or smaller attached to a permanent structure. No billboards, banners, or flags and no TV, radio, newspaper, or social media advertisements. Businesses must have measures in place to keep their websites 21+ and they won’t be able to offer promotional items or sponsor charitable or sports events.

Puerto Rico’s governor signed legislation into law protecting qualified medical patients from workplace discrimination by amending their medical marijuana access law to classify them as members of a protected class under their employment protection laws. Of course, there are exceptions where use represents a threat of harm or danger, interferes with performance, exposes the employer to losses of any kind, or if the employee uses their medicine at work without written authorization.

A 180-page bill to legalize recreational use of cannabis in Ohio was introduced last Friday (July 30, 2021) which would allow adults to cultivate up to 12 plants for personal use and possess up to five ounces, expunge non-violent offenses, and set a 10% excise tax on sales. Revenue from the tax is supposed to go toward cost of implementation before being divided among municipalities and counties with at least one dispensary, public schools, and infrastructure. The Department of Commerce would oversee the program and issue licenses. However, a spokesperson for Governor Mike DeWine says he does not support legalization.

On Bowl After Bowl Episode 83: It Just Takes Bad Month, we discussed the Mississippi Supreme Court overturning a medical initiative which passed with more than 70% of the vote. Now, a Senate committee is drafting new medical legislation and Governor Tate Reeves is expected to call a special session. At the Neshoba County Fair last Wednesday (July 28, 2021) Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann told a crowd three hearings have already been held this summer to replace Initiative 65 and that the draft should be complete this week.

Businesses hoping to win one of six medical marijuana dispensary licenses in Rhode Island will have to wait indefinitely after the license lottery was delayed as the administrative appeal of a rejected applicant continues. This same appeal first delayed the lottery in the spring. Now, the lottery won’t be rescheduled until the appeal has run its course.

A California businessman, Helios Raphael Dayspring, agreed to plead guilty to one count of filing a false federal tax return and one count bribery at his upcoming August 25, 2021 court hearing. From 2016 to 2019, he paid San Luis Obispo County supervisor Adam Hill $32,000 in exchange for favors. Last August, Hill committed suicide. Dayspring operates 18 cannabis farms and four retail stores and could face up to 13 years in prison.

Missouri’s Department of Health and Human Services emailed dispensaries with a warning to immediately stop any unlawful activity, citing state regulations prohibiting promotional events. Advertising holiday or product discounts is not allowed.  The department suggests they could establish “discounted pricing for classes of patients such as those designated as low-income on their medical marijuana identification card.” No notices of violations have been issued yet.

The Show-Me State also wants to fully legalize in 2022 and so does Arkansas.

WEED

According to a study from Cambridge University, slacking stoners is a FALSE stereotype! But while weed is not linked to lack of motivation, greater use was associated with a lower perceived value of school by adolescents. 

If you’re flying into a New York airport, you’ll be happy to find cops won’t seize your secret stash. But if TSA stumbles across it, they are still required to alert the appropriate law enforcement.

There’s a new lawsuit over Utah’s cannabiz licensing procedure claiming out-of-state companies were given preference during the application process. The state’s Department of Agriculture and Food coached multistate growers, then changed the laws last minute to allow out-of-state companies to apply which potentially gave them a huge advantage thanks to the aforementioned networking opportunity.

Listeners of No Agenda and Bowl After Bowl won’t be surprised to hear Amazon is officially a registered cannabis lobbyist. Last year, the company spent $17.9 million on lobbying alone. Activists at DPA and NORML confirmed representatives met with them to discuss the best ways to free the weed.

During discussion of the cocaine resentencing bill, the EQUAL Act, Representative Steve Cohen turned the House Judiciary Committee’s attention to the failure of the War on Drugs, using Sha’Carri Richardson’s Olympic suspension as an example, saying, “Marijuana is not a performance-enhancing drug unless you’re entered in the Coney Island hot dog eating contest on Fourth of July.”

After companies applying for medical marijuana licenses were allowed to redact their own applications, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled in favor of investigative journalist Wallace McKelvey of PennLive and The Patriot-News. The burden now falls on the Department of Health.

Strawberry Fields became the first Denver dispensary approved to work with a social equity delivery service to bring their product straight to customers’ doors. Turns out, they were the only company that even applied!

An Interpretive Statement was released by the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board saying licensed processors cannot convert CBD into delta-9 THC, which would undermine growers. Since this is not law, it remains to be seen whether it is actually enforced.

The US House of Representatives could vote on the Blumenauer-McClintock-Norton-Lee amendment as soon as next week, removing the word “medical” from the current spending bill language maintaining that federal funds cannot be used to prevent states from “implementing their own state laws that authorize the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana.”

A Florida businessman was ordered to pay nearly $3 million to the SEC after scamming $5.5 million from more than 60 weed investors and spending it on himself.

Standing Akimbo is once again asking the Supreme Court to hear their case against the IRS and Section 280E. Bowl After Bowl Episode 90 ★ Jimmy Geminis discussed the case in June when the justices refused to hear it after it lost in the appellate court last year.

A Missouri attorney hopes to clarify whether his client can lawfully use medical marijuana with a valid medical card while on probation in the Show-Me State. 

A New Mexico novelty gift shop is giving customer weed samples with their purchases of stickers ranging in cost from $15 to $90. Yesterday, (July 26, 2021) they received a cease and desist order. Although they are not a dispensary, Bowl After Bowl has discussed this gifting practice before in Episode 88 Think Horn when a New Jersey company gifted product by charging for bakery good add-ons to get around the state’s purchase limit.

Also in the Land of Enchantment, the New Mexico appellate court upheld a 2018 lower court ruling allowing the state’s largest medical marijuana operator to open two new dispensaries.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden, and Senator Cory Booker are holding a press conference tomorrow (Wednesday, July 14, 2021) to unveil a preliminary version of a bill being referred to by journalists as the Cannabis Administration and Opportunity Act . It is expected to remove cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act, impose a federal tax on the herb and bring about restorative justice to communities affected by the War on Drugs while allowing states largely in control of how to approach legalization.

Last week, the Cannabis Freedom Alliance backed by Charles Koch, Snoop Dogg, and Weldon Angelos (as previously discussed on Bowl After Bowl Episode 76: Thanks Your Old Pass) released a white paper urging removal of cannabis from the Schedule I classification under the Controlled Substances Act.

Last Wednesday (July 7, 2021) the Nevada State Athletic Commission joined the Florida State Boxing Commission after voting to no longer discipline fighters for using cannabis. Unlike Florida, however, the NSAC – which regulates all unarmed combat including boxing, kickboxing, and MMA – will still test for marijuana to collect data over the next six months. The new policy begins tomorrow and is not retroactive.

The Cannabis Control Division of the New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Departmentmore than doubled the maximum number of plants growers can produce, boosting the cap from 4,500 plants to 10,000 in response to concerns about supply shortage among medical patients when recreational purchases being in early 2022.

Solar Therapeutics is being sued for copyright infringement, false advertising, and misappropriation of Sacha Baron Cohen’s right of publicity after using a picture of Borat giving the thumbs up on a Massachusetts interstate billboard while exclaiming, “It’s Nice!” Cohen’s attorney claims he has never used cannabis in his life, creating Ali G to mock stoner culture, and would never participate in any corporate brand deal because it would undermine his credibility as an actor and social activist. The billboard was taken down after the brand received a cease-and-desist letter but Cohen is still seeking statutory damages, actual damages, punitive damages, and disgorgement of profits attributable to the billboard.

88,000 cases have been vacated or dismissed following the decriminalization of marijuana in New Jersey. These are the first of 360,000 cases identified by the courts to be automatically expunged under the law which became effective on July 1, 2021. Warrants for failure to appear are also being rescinded as well as related probation or pretrial monitoring.

There wasa huge raid in Los Angeles this past week worth $1.19 billion linked to the cartels that resulted in 22 felony arrests, 109 misdemeanor arrests, and 19 arrests from water theft enforcement teams. 200 locations were served with search warrants and law enforcement seized 375,000 plants, 33,480 pounds of nug, 65 vehicles, 180 animals, and $28,000. 

Grower-to-bowl sales will begin in California, bypassing dispensaries. States with home delivery will likely join in as it allows customers to peruse a grower’s full catalog and helps the grower test new products while gathering consumer trend data.

A lawsuit over spam text messages between two consumers and Eaze reached a settlement. It’s the second lawsuit of this type that Eaze has faced. The first suit was filed in 2018 and sent to arbitration. This one was pending on a Supreme Court case regarding Facebook and auto-dialing telephone systems, where it was unanimously ruled that random or sequential number generators must be used. One plaintiff signed up for texts from Eaze while the other received messages becuase of a third-party error.

In Oklahoma, Senator Jim Inhofe has requested $4 million in federal funds to create a Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs sponsored by the Department of Justice to work with sheriffs’ departments and combat the black market.

Missouri Governor Mike Parson vetoed legislation last Friday (July 9, 2021) which would have allowed medical marijuana companies to deduct business expenses on their taxes, saying the decision came down to a section lawmakers included in the bill which would have provided tax relief to businesses impacted by city-or county-wide public health restrictions.

Sha’Carri Richardson will not be competing in the Olympics because of a THC positive drug test. She is serving a one-month suspension.

Hours before it was scheduled for a House floor vote, Delaware adult use bill, House Bill 150, was removed from the agenda. The bill’s primary sponsor, Representative Ed Osienski, said the vote was cancelled because they did not have the 3/4 (31) votes necessary to pass it with its proposed social equity fund. Had they removed the fund, they would only need a 3/5 majority. Delaware’s earliest opportunity for legalization is January 2022. In 2015, a decriminalization bill passed and another bill expanded it to minors in 2019, but folks are still being arrested and locked up when caught with more than an ounce.

Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf signed House Bill 1024 into law, increasing the amount of pot medical patients can legally possess from a 30-day supply to 90. They may also use telehealth and curbside pickup. Caregivers are no longer restricted to the amount of patients they can care for and more eligible conditions have been added: cancer remission therapy and central nervous system-related neuropathy. 

As of July 1st, South Dakota patients will no longer be arrested for possessing three ounces or less of cannabis…as long as they alert the law enforcement officer of their condition and provide documentation from a doctor since they won’t be able to get a card until this fall. The state’s Department of Health shared its preliminary list of conditions covered by the medical program, which include AIDS/HIV, ALS, MS, cancer, Crohn’s, epilepsy, glaucoma, and PTSD as well as any “debilitating medical condition” which was the language voters passed in 2020. The secretary of health says a process will be available for South Dakotans to petition to add more conditions in the future.

WEED

If you live in New Mexico and are over the age of 21, you can AS OF TODAY, (Tokin’ Tuesday, June 29, 2021) you may now possess up to two ounces of nug, 16 grams of extracts, 800 milligrams of edibles and start growing your own weed — no more than 6 mature and 6 immature plants per person or 12 and 12 in a household — thanks to NM’s Cannabis Regulation Act. New Mexicans will still have to wait until April 1, 2022 to buy and sell weed from a dispensary, however. 

Another happening today on this tasty Tuesday was the Mexican Supreme Court mandating the Health Department to begin issuing permits to citizens older than 18 who wish to grow or possess personal use amounts of weed, though commercial activities remain illegal. In 2009, Mexico decriminalized possession under 5 grams and in 2018, the Court determined federal prohibition was unconstitutional, giving lawmakers until April 30th to enact legislation to regulate adult use. Unfortunately, House and Senate lawmakers did not agree on a plan before the deadline.

Yesterday (Monday, June 28, 2021), the Supreme Court decided not to hear Standing Akimbo, a Denver-based medical marijuana dispensary’s, challenge against Internal Revenue Code Section 280E which prohibits tax deductions for the “trafficking of Controlled Substances.”  After the decision, Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his legal opinion that, “A prohibition on intrastate use or cultivation of marijuana may no longer be necessary or proper to support the Federal Government’s piecemeal approach.”

Last Thursday,Governor Jared Polis signed House Bill 21-1317 into law, requiring the Colorado School of Public Health (made up of University of Colorado, Colorado State University, and the University of Northern Colorado) to “do a systematic review of the scientific research related to the possible physical and mental health effects of high-potency THC marijuana and concentrates” before creating a scientific review council to study the findings and make recommendations to lawmakers. After this recommendation is made, the Colorado School of Public Health will produce a public education campaign about the effects of high-potency THC on mental health and the developing brain.

Citizens limiting patients to 8 grams of concentrates per purchase, down from the previous 40 gram limit, and capping patients aged 18 to 20 to 2 grams per purchase. Each transaction is logged and seed-to-sale traceability will prevent patients from purchasing more at another dispensary on the same day. Manufacturers now must include warnings on concentrate packages as well as serving size guidance. More rules were created for patients between the ages of 18 and 20 such as acquiring two doctor recommendations who conduct more thorough consultations. All patients will have their mental health history assessed before recommendations are provided now. Of course, there is still good reason for folks to want to become a registered medical patient in Colorado: the excise tax for card-carrying patients is 2.9% while everyone else pays 15%.

As you may recall from previous episodes of Bowl After Bowl, 54% of South Dakotans voted in favor of both recreational and medical marijuana initiatives on their November 2020 ballot. Governor Kristi Noem however opposed the will of the people and facilitated litigation in February 2021 to strike Amendment A (the recreational initiative) down as unconstitutional. The Judge of the state’s Sixth Judicial Circuit Court ruled the measure violates state requirements for ballot measures to cover only one topic and revises rather than amends the state Constitution, which should not permit it to move forward.

Last Friday, State Court Administrator Greg Sattizahn announced that the South Dakota Supreme Court will not issue a ruling on Amendment A before the proposed July 1st deadline. Medical cannabis, however, becomes legal in South Dakota as of July 1st, but state officials won’t be ready to distribute medical cards until the fall.

Eight strains were recalled by the Arizona Department of Health Services due to possible salmonella and aspergillus (mold) contamination. Please keep the poo poo germs off of the good good.

In 2014, Washington, D.C. legalized possession and home cultivation under a voter initiative, but Congress used a budget rider to prevent the local government from using its resources to create a transparent, licensed commercial sales program. Under the proposed Fiscal Year 2022 Financial Services and General Government spending bill, which includes provisions relating to the District of Columbia’s budget, the House Appropriations Committee omitted the rider and added language to create limited protections for banking institutions providing services to state-licensed cannabusinesses. However, this rider has been excluded two years in a row and wound up being added back into the final package.

FIRST TIME I EVER #FTIE

Bowlers called in to tell us about the first time they ever lied to their parents, and we want to hear from YOU before next Tokin’ Tuesday about the first time YOU ever came in a room.

Fuck it, Dude.  Let’s go bowling.  #FDLGB

Remember the 10 record-breaking babies born in South Africa we mentioned in Bowl After Bowl Episode 86: Looking at Tom Thumb? Turns out, the South African woman was lying and was not even pregnant. She was taken in for psychiatric evaluation under which the paper that originally broke the story doubled down and claimed the government was trying to cover up medical negligence by holding her. The editor has since written an apology.

A man arrested in Mexico was believed to be a runaway fugitive wanted for killing a husband and wife while drunk driving. Turns out, he gave a fake name but had warrants out for his arrest in Arkansas and Missouri.

Two Arizona women are in custody after stealing more than $100,000 worth of merchandise from Walmart by making it appear their items had been paid for in the self-checkout using the Walmart Pay app on their phones.

As previously mentioned on Bowl After Bowl Episode 69: Some Holy Somebody, FBI agents went digging for a fabled cache of gold in Pennsylvania. Of course, the FBI never publicly explained why they went treasure hunting other than excavating “what evidence suggested may have been a cultural heritage site.” According to court documents unsealed last Thursday (June 24, 2021), an agent applied for a federal warrant in 2018 to seize the gold, which he claims was one or more tons stolen during the Civil War. He applied for the seizure warrant to avoid seeking permission from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to excavate the site which he believed would then claim the gold for the state and cause a costly legal battle. The agent also revealed that in 2013, a legislative staffer acting on behalf of others in state government offered Finders Keepers USA, a father-son duo of treasure hunters, a state permit to dig in return for three gold bars or 10% of the findings. No one has been charged in connection with the case and federal prosecutors say the case is closed.

A customer at a New Hampshire restaurant told his bartender, “Don’t spend it all in one place,” prompting her to look at the check and notice a $16,000 tip.  The tip was left on June 12th but the restaurant owner didn’t share the story until June 21 because he wanted to see if the payment would actually go through first. Eight bartenders split the tip.

After failing to comply with multiple stop-work orders along with an order to remove features around her Flintstones-themed house in the San Francisco suburbs of Hillsborough, the town took owner Florence Fang to court. But she countersued and reached a settlement, agreeing to apply for building permits while the town reviews and approves a survey of landscaping improvements. She also received $125,000 from the town to drop the case.

Living With the Land is a slow-moving boat ride at Disney World that takes visitors through the amusement park’s greenhouses. It’s also the second longest of all the attractions. This lady must have been bored becauseshe jumped off and on the boat four times and tried to steal a cucumber.

TOP THREE 33

Juneteenth didn’t go so well for an Ikea in Atlanta where 33 employees called out after a serving fried chicken and watermelon to celebrate. Here is a link to the full video used for the clip.

After shooting his dad, a random woman at a weed dispensary, and running over an elderly couple with his truck, a 30-year-old Oregon man set his vehicle aflame and forced a Cabela’s worker on her lunchbreak to drive him 33 hours north to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  By the time they arrived, she had convinced him to turn himself in where he was charged with six counts of murder due to Oregon law, one count of attempted second-degree murder, one count of first-degree assault, and two counts of failure to perform duties of driver to injured people. 

33 international teams were chosen to compete in a three-year contest aimed at preserving the Amazon rainforest by developing new biodiversity survey tools and producing real-time insights on rainforest health and value.  Known as the XPRIZE Rainforest Competition, teams will have 48 hours to use their technologies to better identify, catalog, and map 247 acres of the rainforest.  $10 million will be split between first, second, and third place with a $250,000 b onus award.           

Chinese provinceJiangsu completed construction of a 33-kilometer driverless highwayon June 18th and will open it to traffic at the end of this month.  This self-driving expressway uses 5G technology integrated with Building Information Modeling, big data, the Internet of Things, cloud computing.  Holographic sensors collect data to make the road smarter.     

In Van Horn, Texas, US Border Patrol agents rolled up on a suspicious activity call and ended up saving 33 undocumented migrants who were locked in a U-Haul box-truck. Twelve were brought to hospitals with heat-related illness. They have all been processed and Homeland Security Investigations has accepted the case for prosecution.

Parents who sent their children’s face masks worn in school to the University of Florida’s Mass Spectrometry Research and Education Center for analysis found five of the six masks were contaminated with bacteria, parasites, and fungi — three of which had pneumonia-causing bacteria. 33% of the pathogens were antibiotic-resistant strains. The test was incapable of detecting viruses.

WHOupdated its COVID-1984 jab advice page to say children are not a high priority.

WEED

Connecticut legalized recreational weed after holding their special session. This law limits adults to possession 1.5 ounces and does not allow homegrow until 2023. However, if you are a medical card carrying patient, you can now grow a total of 6 plants (3 “mature,” 3 “immature”). Offenses dealing with up to 4 ounces will be automatically expunged. A 30% THC cap was placed on flower and 60% on concentrates.

Rhode Island’s Senate advanced one of the three recreational bills  TODAY on this Tokin’ Tuesday after it advanced out of the Judiciary Committee last week. Their legislative session ends June 30th but a special session could be called to push it through, as we’ve seen with other states like Connecticut and New Mexico (as discussed on Episode 74: Storm’s a-Brewin’.)

Afederal judge in Missouri ruled against the Show-Me State’s residency requirement in favor of a Pennsylvania investor who sued the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, the state’s medical cannabis regulators, for violating the commerce clause of the Constitution. The residency rule required businesses be at least 51% owned by state residents, which were defined as anyone living in Missouri for at least one year. Colorado, Maine, and Oregon have all nixed their residency requirements but a federal judge in Oklahoma just threw out a lawsuit against theirs (which was discussed on Bowl After Bowl Episode 86: Looking at Tom Thumb.)

In Detroit, a judge suspended the ordinance giving preference to long-term residents applying for recreational business licenses, granting an injunction last Thursday that will temporarily halt the processing of applications. The requirements included living in the city 10 to 14 of the past 30 years on top of having previous marijuana convictions or a parent with a record.

Four cannabusinesses in New Jersey were issued cease-and-desist letters from the state Attorney General and Division of Consumer Affairs to stop offering “gifts” to purchasing customers to skirt the state’s one-ounce purchase limit laws. They are now under investigation for violating the state’s Consumer Fraud Act because of misrepresentation. Customers pay higher prices on other items to receive a “gift,” which makes it not a gift at all.

Two businessmen were given 30- and 15-month prison sentences for disguising $150 million in weed-related transactions for California delivery business Eaze as fake websites and dummy corporations between 2016 and 2019 so banks would process them.  These sentences were far below what federal prosecutors recommended to the judge, which included life imprisonment for one and nearly 25 years for the other.  Former Eaze CEO James Patterson plead guilty to a count of conspiracy to commit bank fraud in the case but was not charged or found at fault during the investigation.

The world’s third-largest gem-quality diamond was unearthed in Botswana at 1,098-carats.

Florida Man was arrested on felony charges of criminal mischief, reckless driving, and evidence of prejudiceafter doing a burnout with his pickup truck over a LGBTQ pride crosswalk streetscape painting.

A manplanned to propose to his girlfriend after hiking to the summit of the Simonside Hills in Northumberland National Park in England, which according to local folklore is home to dwarves. When the time arrived, he found his wallet was still in his pocket but the ring wasn’t. Instead, he found a hole in the pocket. Lucky enough, another hiker found it on the trail and he got it back after they were connected on Facebag.

After being given a pill to speed up labor, a Denver mom was told an emergency C-section would be required because of a “sudden movement” the baby made leaving nurses unable to find her heartbeat. As if that wasn’t traumatic enough,their daughter emerged with a massive cut on her face requiring 13 stitches. Medical staff said her face was close to the placenta wall. In a study of 37,000 C-sections, skin lacerations occurred 0.7% of the time.

A naked manbroke into a Bel Aire mansion in a gated community and murdered two pet parakeets.Here is a link to the video used for the clip.

Florida Woman was shocked to findnearly $1 billion in her bank account, which had warned her of overdraft when she tried to withdraw $20 from the ATM. Turns out, it was a negative balance but only caused by a fraud protection freeze since the account was held by her late husband.Click here to see the full video clipped for the show.

After a pet chimpanzee bit its owner’s 50-year-old daughter on the arm, an Oregon deputy had no choice but to shoot and kill it.

A British family was reunited with their missing dog– 11 years later.

A visitor to Boston’s New England Aquarium was allowed to enter using a ticket that sat in her wallet for almost four decades. Known as a “late gate” ticket, it was a free make-up visit to guests who arrived too late in the day to get the full aquarium experience. 25 years ago, the aquarium stopped issuing these tickets.

And if you disguise a nature camera as a piece of bark, a woodpecker just might destroy it.

TOP THREE 33

Rest in Peace, Joya. Born in 1988 at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, this 33-year-old greater one-horned rhino (also known as the Indian Rhino) was the oldest male in the Species Survival Plan of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Joya moved to Salina, Kansas’ Rolling Hills Zoo in 1995 where he had been monitored by veterinarian staff for age-related issues for the past few months.

Add another tally to the Clinton Body Count. This week, ABC 33/40 reporter Christopher Sign suicided. He broke the secret tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch in 2016, then published a book about it. After its release in February 2020, he told Fox & Friends his family received death threats which drove him out of Phoenix, Arizona back to Birmingham, Alabama — to Channel 33.

When asked about chain of custody documents for absentee ballots deposited into drop boxes for the November 3, 2020 election, a Fulton County election official admitted to The Georgia Star News “a few forms are missing” and “some procedural paperwork may have been misplaced.” Coincidentally, Georgia is missing chain of custody documents for about 333,000 absentee ballots out of an estimated 600,000 which is pretty suspicious considering Biden only “won” by 12,000 votes in the Peach State.

Lastly, neighbors called for a wellness check on a Glendora, California home after smelling a strong odor coming from it. Law enforcement found 33 cats — 7 dead and 2 that had to be euthanized — and one dog living in filthy conditions.

THE COOF

This week, 33 deaths were reported in Oman and the Punjab state of India.

33 new cases were reported in the Prey Veng province of Cambodia, Kentucky’s Graves County, Massachusetts, Maui, New York’s Monroe County, and Washington’s Clark County.

The CDC updated their travel guidance, moving 33 countries to their lowest risk category which is deemed safe for travel for anyone who got a coof shot.

In England, a 33-year-old music teacher plead guilty to faking a COVID ‘Fit to Fly’ certificate to travel to Egypt by altering the date on a negative ‘rona test PDF from February. An Egyptian airline worker spotted a missing digit on the certificate. He was found guilty of forgery and counterfeit offense of making a false instrument but was granted bail and is leaving the country ahead of his hearing, telling the judge he will be back in time for it and now has an up-to-date negative test certificate.

Also, the symptoms for this scary new Delta variant are headaches, coughs, and sneezing…like a cold.

WEED

In 2007, Robert Franklin tossed a pound of weed out of his car during a traffic stop in Saline County, Missouri and received a 22-year prison sentence. But after serving more than a decade in prison, he has become the first 420POW to have his case commuted by Governor Mike Parson. Jeff Mizanskey was the last time weed-related POW freed by Governor Jay Nixon in 2015.

Joints for Jabs launched Monday in Washington state, but dispensary owners aren’t participating. Unlike other jab freebies which require citizens to simply flash their poked papers to claim their prize, Joints for Jabs requires pot shops to set up a vaccine clinic inside so only those with a fresh band-aid can claim their jay. Many don’t have the space to set up a clinic inside, and healthcare providers are concerned about setting up shop in a place that distributes illegal drugs since that could jeopardize their federal funding. Since the program expires July 12, citizens planning to get poked in the pot shop might not be able to get their second shot in time. Participating pot shops will be able to cash in on a tax break for product they give away unlike alcohol retailers, but that doesn’t help much when they are still unfairly facing Section 180E.

Last Tokin’ Tuesday, the pain management committee for the NFL and NFL Players Association announced it will provide $1 million in funding for research into pain management with cannabis and cannabinoids. Five grants are expected to be awarded around Thanksgiving.

Arkansas’ medical sales exceeded $330 million since the market launched in 2019 and last month, May 2021, Maine hit a new record with $5.4 million in recreational sales.

The Montana group opposing the 2020 voter-approved recreational initiative has dropped its lawsuit since Governor Greg Gianforte signed House Bill 701 into law, amending the legalization law voters passed. The lawsuit claimed the initiative was unconstitutional for earmarking a portion of tax revenues from federally illegal marijuana sales, contending only the legislature can determine how tax revenue is spent.

Tomorrow, June 16, 2021 at 10 AM, the Connecticut legislature will hold a special session to determine the fate of the recreational weed bill mentioned previously on Bowl After Bowl. Rhode Island will have to wait a little longer for a recreational market, as the backers of three adult-use bills failed to compromise and likely won’t before the end of the legislative session the last week of June.

Today, Representatives Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ) and Cori Bush (D-MO) unveiled the Drug Policy Reform Act (DPRA) to end criminal penalties for drug possession federally and incentivize state and local governments to adopt decriminalization policies by limiting their eligibility to receive funds if they don’t. The bill also proposes moving regulatory power from the Attorney General to the Secretary of Health and Human Services, record expungement and resentencing, “reinvesting in alternative health-centered approaches,” prohibiting drug tests for individuals to receive federal benefits, prohibiting the use of civil asset forfeiture related to personal drug possession cases, and establishing a Commission on Substance Use, Health and Safety to determine benchmark amounts for drug possession and publish a report including recommendations for preventing the prosecution of individuals processing, distributing, or dispensing personal use quantities.

In 2018, Tampa-based Florigrown sued the state over its licensing process which resulted in three of the 22 licensed operators controlling two-thirds of the market. Six license holders account for 90% of sales. They hoped the state would provide standalone licenses for small businesses and break up the vertical scheme, but the Supreme Court just ruled against them in a 6-1 decision saying the Florida Legislature met its constitutional obligations in enacting a limited-license vertical structure. With the lawsuit over, the state’s licensing freeze comes to an end. It is likely state regulators will issue 15 new vertical licenses over the next six months.

The Ohio State Medical Board added Huntington’s disease, spasticity or severe muscle spasms, and terminal illness as qualifying conditions for medical weed. Earlier in the year, the board granted separate requests to add arthritis, chronic migraines, and complex regional pain syndrome but rejected petitions to include autism spectrum disorder and restless leg syndrome.

In Colorado, 21 individuals were arrested in connection to a black market marijuana and money laundering scheme. They are accused of growing millions of dollars worth of pot across metro Denver and funneling their profits to China through social media apps. The investigation began in August 2020 and investigators have since seized thousands of plants, hundreds of pounds of packaged pot, and about $1 million. Charges range from racketeering and conspiracy to drug cultivation, distribution, and money laundering. Federal investigators found the money cycled from the US to China to Central and South America, then back to the US. Two individuals were allegedly involved in the illegal Oklahoma grow op referenced in Bowl After Bowl Episode 80: I Shitted My Priorities.

Yesterday (Monday, June 14, 2021), the California legislature approved a $100-million plan to strengthen their legal industry which continues to struggle in competition with the emerald market five years after voters approved recreational sales. Grants will be provided to cities and counties to help businesses transition from provisional to regular licenses. It’s a complicated process to get a permanent, annually-renewed license from a temporary one, requiring high costs and developing a plan to reduce the harms of the industry’s negative environmental impacts.

Speaking of negative impacts, Sacramento is being sued by a number of unidentified weed businesses for establishing “Neighborhood Responsibility Plan” fees equal to 1% of gross revenue on top of a 4% business operations tax on gross receipts — even though the city failed to identify a single negative impact from cannabiz operations.

After receiving eight complaints about a growing operation’s odor March 2019, Santa Barbara County filed the jurisdiction’s first nuisance lawsuit against Island View Ranch and Island Breeze Farms.  The lawsuit also claims Island Breeze hasn’t “diligently pursued” obtaining the county and state business licenses to operate and therefore is illegally growing and processing weed.

Kansas City’s city council passed an ordinance last Thursday aimed at curbing street racing, which includes a fine of up to $100 for spectators and possible jail time for performers. Coincidentally, there was a livestream of cops chasing the stunt drivers away from Union Station on Friday. Coincidence or media hype?

Mississippi Secretary of State won’t push the Supreme Court justices to change their minds on the ruling invalidating a 2020 voter-approved ballot measure to legalize medical weed. Instead, he’s asking the governor to call a special session and fix the technicality they cited to invalidate it, which was the ballot initiative language stating signatures must be collected from all five congressional districts when there have only been four — since 2000. Why have no other ballot initiatives been invalidated in the past 20 years?

WEED

Missouri lawmakers passed a bill allowing medical weed companies to deduct ordinary and necessary business expenses on their state tax returns that Section 280E of the federal tax code currently prohibits. We’ll see if Governor Mike Parson signs it into law. Then, the Show-Me State appeals court ruled regulators cannot keep cannabiz license applications secret, so the more then 800 denied licensees appealing the application and scoring system used by the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services can now compare their applications to others.

Kansas may be too late to pass their medical bill, but they did open their first industrial hemp fiber processing facility in Great Bend. They’ve contracted with 10 farmers this year totaling 1,000 acres of hemp and they bought their equipment from Colorado, so they are proud to say they are creating 100% American-made products. Hemp will save the world!

New Mexico is getting a $300 million DEA research facility that will create 170 research jobs along with 200 research and agricultural jobs. They were awarded a memorandum of agreement from the DEA, which 30 other private businesses are hoping to also receive.

New York joins Colorado and 10 other states in banning delta-8 and other THC isomers. 

Montana lawmakers passed a bill to amend the voter-approved recreational market, pushing the start date back three months, setting a THC cap on flower, limiting edible potency per package, reducing homegrow from 4 to 2 plants, and moving oversight from the Department of Public Health and Human Services to the Department of Revenue, among other changes against the will of the people.

A House-approved decriminalization bill is heading to the Louisiana Senate and could remove jail time for possession. Also up for debate on the Senate floor is a bill to legalize flower and concentrates for patients to smoke. Arizona lawmakers rejected a bill that would have banned weed companies from having billboards or sponsorships in events of all kinds. South Carolina is out of time when it comes to passing a medical bill, but Texas could still expand its narrow compassionate care program to a still incredibly narrow medical market.

Congratulations on legalizing medical marijuana, Greece! Take that, 33 nay votes.

THE COOF 

33 deaths were reported in Michigan and New Jersey since we last toked on a Tuesday.  Kansas City dropped its indoor mask mandates including in metro schools. But the CDC released a statement Saturday recommending schools keep mask policies in place. Think of the children!

Or don’t. In Las Vegas, parents of high school children are concerned for their children’s privacy since a teacher sent them home with an assignment to write a paragraph on why or why not they would be getting the experimental therapy since it is now available to their age group.

One company got some good nationwide ad space with the mainstream talking all about their jab record bracelet which allows users to upload their medical records to their encrypted server and presents a QR code for all to scan and see – for just one low payment of $19.99!

Oh, and remember: “Your compliance is prolonging this nightmare. Ditch the mask.“

WEED 

Effective immediately, the federal standard dose for THC is 5 milligrams. Local KC news played this cringe piece calling delta-8 “pot’s little brother” and giving some free press to a cute budtender on YouTube. But at least Missouri medical weed sales have surpassed the five year estimate already – in six months. Colorado banned THC isomers including delta-8 and another politician was found guilty of accepting bribes for dispensary licenses, this time in Massachusetts.

Republicans are pushing for federal legalization and removal from the Federal Controlled Substances list to ensure individual liberty. Meanwhile, the Mississippi Supreme Court became the first to overturn a MEDICAL initiative passed by 75% of the voters because the language on the ballot initiatives didn’t update when the state went from five congressional districts to four. Alabama’s governor signed a super limited Compassionate Act medical bill into law yesterday, which doesn’t allow patients to smoke bud, vape, or enjoy edibles and caps daily THC consumption to 50 milligrams unless a doctor says otherwise. Then the cap gets bumped up to 75 milligrams.

Nebraska lawmakers came two votes short of the *33* needed to break a filibuster on an equally limited medical bill, so petitioners will soon begin their process to get weed on the 2022. And Minnesota is going to see a surge in medical sales since lawmakers slipped approval for smokable flower into an omnibus healthcare bill. Sadly, a recreational bill passed out of the Minnesota House but died in the Senate.
