Rope In Potheads


Usain Bolt has smoked the competition. Now, you can smoke some Usain Bolt.

According to reports, California medical marijuana dispensaries are selling a strain of weed called Usain “Lightning” Bolt O.G. (despite considerable time with the Grateful Dead, I don’t know what the O.G. means).

“Our well-informed, and prescription-carrying sources, tell us ever since the Games began, multiple weed dispensaries in the Orange County area have been selling a new product called Usain Bolt O.G.,” reports gossip site TMZ.

Bolt has admitted to smoking pot, adding almost every kid growing up in Jamaica has smoked ganja at least once.

“When you’re a child in Jamaica, you learn how to roll a joint,” he told Germany’s Bild newspaper. “Everyone tried marijuana, including me, but I was really young.”

In a statement, he later apologized for stereotype.

Not hit the dispensaries in Colorado, at least not yet.

Still smoking my favorite - pre-'98 Bubba Kush freshly harvested last week.

They are using medical marijuana as a cover to market it for recreational use.

I'm 100% pro-legalization for medical or recreational use. I use it recreationally myself. But we will never get either totally legalized in the fashion that it should be if these people don't stop abusing the little bit of freedom they've been given with it.
