A marijuana-enthusiast website that allows members to watch drug-related videos and movies while taking part in real-time chat was found to be leaking millions of messages from more than 44,000 users on to the open web.

The website in question, entitled TheTreesNetwork, is a niche internet community that launched in March 2015, which not only streams movies but lets users submit their own content. The website states: "Grab your favourite piece and chill with some friends while smoking and watching videos together! If this is your first time visiting, make sure to introduce yourself!"

Consuming cannabis has never been so adventurous.

You could always twist up a doobie and spark it up, but you’d be missing out on all of these other adventurous ways to consume cannabis. Being indecisive and discreet has never been so easy. Hungry? Try a Leif Medicinals Chai Latte Chocolate Bar. Thirsty? Try Magic Number’s Craft Brewed Ginger Beer. Prefer to vape? Grab a FEZ. Like tinctures? Make a batch of Green Dragon. Cannabis infused toothpicks, toothpaste, eye gels, bath salts, shampoos, conditioners, fragrances, lip balm, wine, ice cream and coffee pods exist. But wait, that’s not all...

A first-of-its-kind case in Colorado alleges that an edible manufacturer helped lead a husband to kill his wife—and he himself has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. As weed goes legal, will this be the new excuse for all variety of crime?

Before shooting his wife to death, Richard Kirk asked her to kill him.

After the Denver, Colorado father of three allegedly murdered Kristine Kirk, he asked their 7-year-old son to do it, saying it would allow “mom and dad to be together with God.”

In the ever-changing social media landscape surrounding cannabis, video is quickly becoming a key player. A large reason why can be attributed to video streaming platforms like YouTube remaining flexible with their community guidelines, allowing users to post cannabis content on their channel without the fear of repercussions such as the removal of content or account deactivation. Conversely, competing social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook share a history of discriminating against cannabis-related content, thus stifling information sharing and suppressing an entire body of of voices within the community.

It looks like the 2016 election is entering the avant-garde.

A mural depicting presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin kissing, along with the stenciled phrase "make everything great again," now adorns the back of a Lithuanian barbeque joint, Keule Ruke.

The image has gone viral, but the artist -- Mindaugas Bonanu -- told CNN Sunday that he was mostly unfazed by the international attention his mural received.

"In my life nothing changed, except that now I have full pocket of food coupons to eat in Keule Ruke," Bonanu said.

The restaurant's owner, Dominykas Ceckauskas, requested a piece of art featuring Trump for his wall.

Democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders takes his political revolution to Puerto Rico, promising in Spanish to legalize marijuana if elected president.

“Would you legalize marijuana?” one person asked in Spanish, before repeating the question in English.

“Si,” he said, and joked.“You see, my Spanish is good enough to know that word.”

He said he thinks it’s unfair that so many people have drug crimes on their record, making it harder for them to get jobs.

Sanders cited congressional legislation he introduced that would take marijuana off of the list of substances under the Federal Controlled Substance Act.

“We’ve got marijuana and heroin together, that’s pretty crazy to my mind,” he said.

Scientists are working on nonaddictive opiates, pills that sober you up, and pot designed to produce certain moods.

In 2014, i walked into a dispensary in Boulder and emerged with something truly surreal: a receipt. For weed. Two years earlier, Colorado had voted to legalize recreational marijuana—reflecting a seismic shift in American attitudes toward the drug. In just two generations, the portion of the population that supports legalization went from 12 percent to 58 percent. Along the way, we’ve seen emerging marijuana markets, new technologies, and the normalization of experiences that were once taboo.

At odds over the prudence of legalizing marijuana in Massachusetts, people on both sides of the proposed ballot question agree with the idea of measuring marijuana usage now while it is still largely illicit.

"What we've seen happen in other states is that they don't have existing baseline data on recreational marijuana use and it becomes very difficult for both sides to have honest conversations about the effects and impacts," Rep. Hannah Kane, a Shrewsbury Republican who opposes legalization, told the News Service.

In its opening salvo of the 2016 campaign, Drug Free Florida claims the medical marijuana proposal on the November ballot is "still a scam to legalize pot."

The group, which successfully stopped a similiar amendment in 2014, released its first ad Monday under the banner of the 'Vote No on 2' campaign. It ties the proposed amendment to the permissive medical marijuana law in California.

Titled "Search," the video features a man snarkily commenting as he conducts an Internet search on California's dispensaries for medical pot. "Look at these names – seriously? Kush Mart?" he says. "They aren't even trying."

In an industry plagued by controversy over concussions and injuries, Eugene Monroe is hoping to find a healthier way for players to deal with the pain

For a moment, Eugene Monroe felt paralyzed. It was December, and the offensive lineman for the Baltimore Ravens was sitting in a chair, recovering from a recent shoulder surgery and trying to keep his body propped up as his doctors had recommended.

He thought about going to the kitchen but felt completely stuck in place. 

“I just couldn’t even get up. I just struggled. I lost where I was for a moment,” the 29-year-old recalled, adding: “I just didn’t feel like myself at all.”
