TMZ producer Chris Goodwin sped up last week’s amazeball segment of 420 Bud Swap to 1.5x speed and if you’ve never seen this weekly segment on The Mernahuana Zone, I highly recommend watching the sped up edition.  420 Bud Swap allows enthusiasts to act like sports general managers and trade their cannabis for someone’s elses’. This past week TMZ had an epic board with a variety of bud, shatter and bubble hash. The segment went a remarkable twenty five minutes, but the sped up edition knocks ten minutes off.

Suspended RCMP officer Ron Francis, who uses legal medical marihuana to treat his PTSD, was interviewed via Skype for weekly weed webcast The Mernahuana Zone. The webcast is livestreamed from bring your own cannabis lounge Vapor Central and hosted by popular marijuana advocate and journalist Matt Mernagh.

Vapor Central has never been so quiet during a livestream of The Mernahuana Zone. Jaws dropped, eyes popped out, and the silence was unreal as retired marijuana smuggler Brian O’Dea wowed the weekly weed webcast’s audience. When your last run involves 75 tonnes of cannabis, you clearly receive beyond classroom like respect.  Unfortunately cannabis history 101 isn’t an elective yet, but celebrating our past is crucial part of ending prohibition. 

The random marijuana buy is possibly the most stressful transaction some stoners are ever going to make because there’s plenty of fear around meeting a friendly stranger to buy ganja. Mostly around getting ripped off, but a few folks worry the police are going to sting them for a $40 sack. Police handouts (where cops sell a pothead a wee bit of pot) are not common in Toronto for cannabis. Afterall the police are the trafficker and purchaser is the possessor.
