Yeah, NSS. As if Berkeley would ever say “no” to some grass.
In the event of federal interference with dispensaries, Berkeley City Council urges opposition to and noncooperation with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s marijuana raids.
Is it news to you that weed is illegal? In a nutshell, the sitch’ is this:

The Feds charged a group of Oakland residents in federal court today in connection with an alleged marijuana goody operation.
The operation, known to authorities as Tainted, Inc., allegedly made and sold to local cannabis clubs pot-laden cookies, brownies, candy, ice cream—all the munchies Cloyne seems to love so dearly.
The accused were charged by federal prosecutors, under which law marijuana is a Schedule I substance and use of any kind is considered a felony.
One of the attorneys cried “Conspiracy!” after the defendants were warned against using drugs before their Oct. 19 hearing. He seems to think California’s Proposition 215 legalizing marijuana supersedes, you know, the government that allowed states to have their own laws. Maybe if he waits for California to secede …

Digging through YouTube, we decided to vary our search from “UC Berkeley” to “Cloyne.” There wasn’t as much booty as we had hoped, but we did set ourselves to wondering.
What came first: the chicken …
Richard Nixon once said, “People get drunk to have a good time; people smoke weed to get high.” So it wouldn’t be far-fetched to assume his ghost had a hand in this case of a possible foiled cover-up. OK, maybe that would be a bit far-fetched. But in a world with with 24 hour service on T-graph, anything’s possible.
Anyway, it appears that Berkeley citizens may have rebuked an anti-marijuana plan. Or they’ve merely unearthed an idiotically obstructed recount of a failed pro-weed initiative.
The bill, had it passed, would have allowed a patient to obtain medical marijuana without any cap on the amount. However, it missed by just 191 votes in 2004, prompting the weed people (like the swamp people but more weedish) to fork over 22,600 bucks for a second look at the results from the Diebold Election Systems machines. That money went towards recounting data that mysteriously no longer exists. Hence, the judge gave the plaintiffs a refund and called the election–and its officials–into question.
First off, we’re curious as to who these shady anti-pot guys are. Yes, we know you’re probably thinking that, as respected quasi journalists, we should be privy to these things. We’re working on it, people. Geez. Secondly, we’re curious as to how this whole post steered clear of tired marijuana puns. A medal will be probably be forthcoming. With consciences clear, we stoically await multiple sneering pundit comments regarding “Berkeley” and “marijuana.”

Finals are over. We can finally have time to take a decent shower and proceed with our normal lives. Some, however, are still acting strangely. Maybe Bear Facts is lagging with grades. Maybe the transition to summer is jarring. Either way, we all need to take a chill pill—wait, is that legal?

At two in the morning, this could mean only one thing: werewolves. Arm yourselves with guns and silver bullets, folks.

Hmm. Were they buildering? They couldn’t possibly be that excited over the recent relase of “Spider-Man 3.”

The drums again? Let’s hope it’s not some naked weirdo with bongos. We think that already happened.
