The Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer who had his iconic uniform seized after being seen in a video smoking a joint on the job last November has died of an apparent suicide. Ron Francis suffered from PTSD.
Poor Kevin Sabet, no one understands him. While the anti-marijuana zealot says marijuana is "10 to 30 times more potent than it was 30 years ago," he insists his current barnstorm of Oregon is not the "Reefer Madness tour."

Last April, Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley signed the legislature's marijuana decriminalization bill. On Oct. 1, the new law allowing possession of less than 10 grams went into effect.
The decrim train rolled into Philadelphia in June when the City Council voted to end marijuana arrests. As of October 20, if you're caught with 30 grams or less, the worst that can happen is a $25 fine. Just don't puff in public.
