Cracked’s Adam Tod Brown has written an excellent piece on just what is involved in getting marijuana in California these days (and a rapidly growing number of American states).

It seems that people in Bathurst and other places are under the impression that pot is “legal” here in the ACT. It is something I have heard plenty about since I moved here. A bike mechanic in Sydney told me that since the ACT goverment banned fireworks, I would have to satisfy myself “with Pot [...]

The willingness of dimwits to Youtube themselves committing crime is a wonderful thing.
But local boy jacobb9595 has really excelled himself with a detailed videography of his closeted pot growing operation.
He’s also a keen homebrewer.
Why buy when you can make it yourself?
UPDATE: The Canberra Times is onto the story [...]

The internet appears to have eroded any great advantage that [...]
