California may soon protect its citizens from federal laws conflicting with the state’s legal marijuana policy.
The state Assembly approved a bill on Thursday prohibiting state and local police from assisting in enforcing federal marijuana laws, reports the Los Angeles Times.

Jim Carrey is executive-producing a new television series about the ’70s stand-up comedy scene, but he’s got a few good stories to tell himself.

Carrey sat down with Jimmy Kimmel last night to talk about his new Showtime series I’m Dying Up Here, and to share some moments from his old Comedy Store days as a budding comedian in Hollywood.

Washington State University is looking for a group of selfless individuals willing to get stoned in the name of scientific research.

University researchers are looking for pot-smoking volunteers to develop a breathalyzer that can detect marijuana intoxication, reports Washington’s CBS affiliate KREM.
“We’re trying to create a roadside tool for law enforcement and businesses to detect if someone is inebriated or under the influence of marijuana,” said research assistant Nathan Weller.
Participants will initially undergo tests on their blood and saliva before purchasing marijuana of their choice at a local dispensary.

Willie Nelson believes that Attorney General Jeff Sessions shouldn’t knock marijuana until he tries it.
Rolling Stone recently caught up with the outlaw country legend before his 84th birthday to talk about his upcoming tour, as well as the current state of pot politics.
When asked about Sessions’ comment that cannabis is “slightly less awful” than heroin, Nelson replied:
“I wonder if he’s tried both of them. I don’t think you can really make a statement like that unless you tried it all.

California’s latest effort to legalize recreational marijuana has brought forth a massive interest in people who want to grow their own pot.
Growing cannabis from seeds requires extensive work and attention, but purchasing clones derived from an existing plant cuts down the cultivation process immensely.
The demand for clones has risen exponentially due to their relative ease, which has exposed a dark side to cannabis cultivation that involves the use of pesticides and other chemicals not suitable for human consumption.
“More and more, we find that our patients are looking for a reliable

Contrary to Gov. Chris Christie’s anti-pot stance, New Jersey lawmakers are working to become the next state to legalize marijuana.

Under the bill, adults 21 and over would be allowed to possess up to one ounce of marijuana or 16 ounces of cannabis-infused products, including edibles. A tax on marijuana sales would be established, beginning at seven percent and rising to 25 percent over the course of five years.

California Attorney General Xavier Becerra is ready to deal with any federal actions that would interfere with his state’s legal pot laws.

In an interview with Politico California’s David Siders and Carla Marinucci on Wednesday, Becerra said he won’t back down to the possibility of a federal crackdown, should U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions take any action against both the recreational and medical marijuana laws in place.
“I would love to see Jeff Sessions come to California and tell us we’re not going to move forward on cannabis.
