Private plane carrying marijuana strays into Obama's no-fly zone
Category: News | Posted on Tue, February, 21st 2012 by THCFinder
A small private plane carrying a load of marijuana strayed into President Obama's no-fly zone over Los Angeles on Thursday.
The plane was forced to land at Long Beach Airport, after being intercepted by U.S. Air Force jet fighters, authorities said.
The four-seat Cessna entered the restricted airspace about 11 a.m. as the president was flying from Orange County to Los Angeles aboard Marine One, a military helicopter provided for his use.
Federal officials said the aircraft was never close enough to endanger Obama.
Air traffic controllers tried repeatedly to contact the single-engine Cessna, authorities said, but the pilot did not respond.
The plane was quickly intercepted by two F-16 fighters from March Air Reserve Base in Riverside County, the report said.
After the Cessna touched down, federal agents and Long Beach police detained the pilot for questioning and found what law enforcement officials described as a large amount of marijuana on board the aircraft.
The pilot was taken into custody by Long Beach police, but his identity and other details were not released because of the continuing drug investigation.
Aircraft are typically prohibited from flying within 10 miles of any plane or helicopter carrying the president.

Domino's manager sold marijuana in pizza boxes
Category: News | Posted on Tue, February, 21st 2012 by THCFinder
Straight out of WEEDs , this guy was hiding his stash in pizza boxes, kinda reminds me of the episode on Weeds where they are selling weed at their sandwhich shop!
HOLLY SPRING, NC (WTVD) -- A manager at a Domino's Pizza restaurant in Holly Springs is accused of selling drugs out of the store.
According to search warrants obtained by ABC11, 29-year-old Benjamin Crook hid marijuana in empty pizza boxes when he sold it to an informant.
Crook was charged with possession with intent to distribute, selling marijuana, delivering marijuana, and maintaining a dwelling to keep/sell a controlled substance.
In the search warrants, an investigator with the Holly Springs Police Department says he got information from a confidential informant that Crook was involved in illegal drug activity at a home on Gooseberry Drive. The informant also said Crook was a general manager at a Domino's Pizza on Crossway Lane.
The informant allegedly purchased marijuana from Crook once in January and two times in early February. The second two times, the drugs were placed in a plastic bag hidden inside empty pizza boxes and sold for cash at the restaurant.
Investigators also went through the trash at the home on Gooseberry Drive and found evidence of drug activity.
The search warrants state that investigators seized 21.8 grams of marijuana from a locker at the restaurant and another 18 grams in the safe.

Pot helps the brain fight Alzheimer's
Category: Medical Marijuana | Posted on Tue, February, 21st 2012 by THCFinder
Yes, pot helps the brain fight Alzheimer's, according to journalist Clint Werner's Marijuana: A Gateway to Health.
The notion that pot fights Alzheimer's is nothing new: A study published in 2006 by The Scripps Institute said that THC -- described as "the active ingredient" in marijuana, a notion since exploded by the discovery of other active cannabinoids like CBD, with hundreds others yet to examine -- worked better at stopping the spread of amyloid plaque in the brain than pharmaceutical drugs prescribed for the purpose.
THC blocks the enzyme which creates the plague that inhibits brain function, which means that marijuana can inhibit or halt entirely the spread of Alzheimer's in an older brain, researchers said. Stopping the enzyme's attack on brain cells is one thing, but marijuana use has also been linked to the creation of healthy, new brain cells, according to Werner's book, which was released last year (and is available on Amazon.com, we should mention).
McCartney and the rest of the Beatles first used marijuana in the early 1960s at the behest of Bob Dylan -- and who were the Fab Four to turn Zimmy down? The habit apparently took, as McCartney wrote "Got To Get You Into My Life" about reefer, according to reports, and spoke in favor of drug legalization in interviews well into the 1990s.
If Rolling Stone asked him about legalization, Sir Paul was demure; the interview doesn't mention it one way or the other, nor does he say exactly when he decided he'd smoked a lifetime's worth of cannabis.
"I smoked my share," he said, adding: "When you're bringing up a youngster, your sense of responsibility does kick in, if you're lucky, at some point." He ended with: "Enough's enough -- you just don't seem to think it's necessary," according to the interview (which you can't read online, sorry; go buy a magazine, freeloader).
So did marijuana use contribute to McCartney's longevity? Possibly, but since he and the other Beatles admitted to using that as well as LSD in order to create "Sergeant Pepper" and other records regarded as indispensable classics, seems as if it's immaterial at this point.
