Greetings, and happy belated 4/20 to our fellow stoners! We here at SMC wish we coulda had everything that we had wanted to set up for you guys to enjoy; unfortunately we're stoners, as well as extremely busy lately. The site has been a little touchy as of late; we're working on it. Aside from that, we're getting spammed like the end of a porno, so I'm sorry to say that we have to turn off commenting on the site until we figure out a way to fix that (we would leave the comments that were already posted up for you to see... but it's 90% spam anyway). We're getting our act together... we promise.

Since the last update:
- Our home state legislature (NJ) passed a bill to allow medicinal marijuana. Not a law yet though; still has to pass the house.

- California has a proposed bill to not only legalize, but tax marijuana to help its economy. This would be huge for federal legalization.

- Obama laughed off 1) the thought of legalizing marijuana to create money for our broke-ass country, and 2) the fact that it was the most asked question on his internet town hall meeting (he said "I don't know what that says about the online audience"; I can only hope that all of you are as offended as we are)

- Seth Rogen had like 900 movies come out.

In other news, stoner-to-the-max Asher Roth released his debut album "Asleep in the Bread Aisle" (we've all been there, no?) on 4/20, as well as had a record release party that yours truly got to attend. Kid can throw a party like whoa; not to mention he can rap his ass off. Go pick up the CD or download it on iTunes (just search for "iTunes Top Albums... it's #1). To congratulate Roth Boy on a job well done with the record, I brought him some crazy weed from Colorado that'll turn you into a deer, as well as an official SMC shirt; the only one in existence. Wanna see it? His drummer wore it to the record release show the following night at Blender Theater in NY. Check out pics here (specifically 10, 17, 20, and 28).

That's it for now folks. Blunt cruisinnn'.
