KINGSTON, Jamaica – New York Jets wide receiver Brandon Marshall on Saturday caused quite a frenzy on social media website Twitter.

The NFL player, who was in Jamaica for his sister’s wedding, in what was an apparent attempt to be comedic, tweeted that marijuana was being smoked around him.

This resulted in mixed reactions and heavy criticisms from some Twitter users.

Marshall tweeted: “What ull doing? I'm in Jamaica at my sisters wedding and It smells like Denver over here!!! I better not fell my drug test.”

After that tweet, Marshall proceeded to tweet again, this time he made sure to include the NFL in his tweet.

Sharon Osbourne doesn't think marijuana should be legalized.

The 62-year-old star has revealed she thinks it's a mistake that four US states have chosen to decriminalize the drug and hopes that Britain doesn't choose to follow suit.

She said: "Anything that alters your mental state I don't think should be allowed."

The TV personality - whose husband Ozzy Osbourne has struggled with drug and alcohol abuse in the past - claimed making cannabis legal will result in more accidents.

She told America's CBS TV: "The next thing I am waiting for is when someone is working heavy machinery, when they are driving a car. It is all going to end in tears."

Three men from Great Britain have been arrested after raiding a local, legally licensed industrial hemp farm thinking they were snatching pounds of free pot. The three were arrested after a Facebook post detailed the location of a field packed full of wild-growing cannabis – only it wasn’t.

A “large number” of trespassers descended on the West Sussex hemp field after the erroneous post, which led people to believe the hills were alive with sweet, sticky buds.

Police found various forms of marijuana-related paraphernalia at the farm, where many of the intruders had attempted to smoke parts of the plant. Two sacks stuffed with the hemp were also found.

The death of 19 year old Levy Thamba Pongi, a Wyoming exchange student from the Republic of Congo visiting Colorado in March of 2014, who ate a marijuana cookie, deserves special mention in light of the growing trend toward legalization of recreational marijuana in the U.S.

It offers a stark reminder about the potential risks associated with consuming edibles rapidly, serving as a reminder of its delayed effects (1-2 hours), as opposed to smoking it (5-10 minutes).

Dogs experiencing marijuana-related medical complications are becoming increasingly common, says a pet insurance company.

Pet insurer Trupanion said it's paying out a growing number of claims for dogs treated for marijuana toxicity.

Dr. Denise Petryk, a veterinarian with the company, said it can be a serious problem.

"A small dog that gets even a small bite of marijuana that, let's say, has been made into marijuana butter or again one of the edibles … it could potentially be fatal."

In Vancouver, Jaime McLaren said her puppy needed emergency care after it accidentally ingested pot.

On Friday, first responders treated 14 people near the Columbia Heights Metro station for suspected overdoses of synthetic drugs. It's just the latest in a series of incidents related to the substances in D.C. over the last few months, including mass overdoses among homeless residents, violence, and possible links to other crimes.

Many marijuana enthusiasts are aware that astronomer Carl Sagan was a huge fan of cannabis, but did you know that he wagered some predictions about how legalization would roll out in his sci-fi novel “Contact”?

Sagan, who wrote quite a bit about marijuana and the larger drug war prior to his death in 1996, devotes a detail-rich paragraph in the 1985 novel to describing the legal cannabis scene of a fictionalized then-future 1999 Paris:

The following is a release from the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board:

Several new alcohol- and marijuana-related laws became effective on July 24. Among the new laws is a section of Senate Bill 5052, the Cannabis Patient Protection Act, which changes the name of the former Liquor Control Board. Effective immediately, the new name is the Liquor and Cannabis Board which reflects the regulatory responsibilities the agency has had since 2012. The name change is the first for the agency since it was established by the Steele Act on Jan. 23, 1934.

I have been a marijuana consumer for over two decades now. Almost everyone I know has tried marijuana at one point or another in their lives, especially people my age. That’s not to say that everyone I know is public about their current or prior marijuana consumption, but that also doesn’t mean that they are ashamed of it either. Gallup recently conducted a poll which found that 44% of Americans have tried marijuana. Per Gallup:
