Drug Enforcement Administration special agent. “These were courtesy visits to remind the dispensaries that are still open that they're operating illegally. ”Medical marijuana activists painted a different picture of what happened. According to Steph Sherer, executive director of the advocacy group Americans for Safe Access, drug agents barged into the dispensaries and threatened to arrest employees and patients before seizing whatever marijuana they could find. “They're basically going in and taking everything,” Sherer said. “They said, 'Shut down or we're going to come back and arrest you.

Greenades, Marijuana Gumballs, Identified by Maryland Police, Used by…
Magic City Morning Star – Jul 22, 2006
A police officer assigned to the high school witnessed the gumballs being purchased by the students while passing between classes. The gumballs were sent to the Maryland State Police-Forensic Sciences Division Laboratory in Pikesville, Maryland who determined there was approximately one gram of high-grade marijuana packed inside each gumball. The gumballs came wrapped in colorful tin foil labeled as “Greenades” with a marijuana leaf on the wrapper and detailed instructions for use. With this discovery, concern over Greenades is growing among parents in the area, not only for the teenagers in the local student body but also over what happens when these drug-using students bring these gumballs home and their younger brothers or sisters get a hold of them, or worse yet, curious toddlers encounter them. Most experts agree that there is enough THC (the active chemical in marijuana) in one gram of high grade marijuana to produce a lethal overdose that could result in death if swallowed by a toddler.

Used on article pages to rotate the images of a story. An employment tribunal erupted in laughter when he said that he did so only because he was too well-known to buy cannabis himself. Mr Sorbie, 56, whose customers include the actresses Dame Helen Mirren and Leslie Ash and the television presenter Lorraine Kelly, added the Queen to his salon’s client list after she presented him with an MBE in 2004. The tribunal in Central London was told this week that his colleagues considered committing him to a mental hospital because of his drinking, smoking cannabis and “extremely aggressive outbursts”. Jasmin Gupta, his former commercial director, said that she was forced to leave her £110,000 job because of Mr Sorbie’s behaviour. She is claiming sex discrimination and constructive dismissal… She said that he would not have treated a man in the same manner. She had to cancel television appearances, she said, because he was incapable of carrying them out. “I was aware that Trevor often obtained and smoked marijuana in private, as he would tell stories at work and in public about drug-related experiences.
