Halem, who looks like your average middle class white dude (see pic) is adamantly "not bitter" that he can't survive solely as a journalist, states, "If I wanted to destroy my life, I wanted it to be for something I knew I could sell." Yo society, there's something not quite right when, after an education of $100K-plus, one of the few available job opportunities for an aspiring writer (and maybe even for Twitter itself) is selling something called "Blackberry Kush."

The @artistscollctve Twitter account went up last week and, in the vein of a more #420 friendly Kogi BBQ, the medical marijuana delivery service also boasts "On-Time GPS" and the availability of "green crack." Artists for Access is a "creative non-profit" operating under something called a 501 3c non-profit license, "as far as the law is concerned, we're good."

The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser.Technically legal in California, Halem's dicey business model is legit from a state standpoint, but not federally. You can't just call up an get a bag, but knowing the multitudes of dodgy loopholes that exist in the CA medical marijuana policy (i.e. insomnia counts) it's probably not that hard to score a prescription. Line up your doctor's notes ASAP! Because this opportunity may not (probably won't) last.

• WHAT HAPPENS WHEN JUNKETS GO BAD… [Hollywood Outbreak]

Potheads and action? Inherently comic, for as most anyone who has lived in a college dorm can attest, stoners are to action as the Tilt-a-Whirl is to driving.

To enjoy stoner silliness is not to advocate an unlawful activity (says one whose post-college pot experience is limited to the Revereware-in-the-kitchen variety). My sentiments about marijuana are pretty much like those about guns. I firmly believe in their control - except on-screen, where they are crucial for entertainment value.

Just as you can be antigun and enjoy Dirty Harry, you don't have to be stoned to enjoy stoner comedy.

We were surprised, however, to not see the Defamer-approved instant classic Pineapple Express on the list of all-time great stoner comedies, headed up by Lebowski, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure and Dazed and Confused. History will surely remember otherwise — even if, by cruel definition, its core constituency cannot.

• Smoking the funny stuff [Philadelphia Inquirer]

[Hilton] became concerned recently because her clothes have been growing tight and she knew she was gaining weight...’She will go to the bathroom to smoke at different Hollywood clubs, or sometimes she’ll just light up in the VIP area,’ said the source.”

So how does one choose between wearing pretty dresses and using Annie Hall's solution to having sex with an unattractive boyfriend? Paris’ decision, after the jump.

As the source claims, Paris has a charming habit of showing up to parties complaining about how much she just ate after a toking session. Which might explain her infamous lazy eye always visible in party pictures! But after a series of heartbreaking evenings spent trying and failing to squeeze into her favorite old dishrags gemstone-encrusted dresses, Hilton has "decided to throw away the pipe to avoid the munchies and get back to her ideal weight." Color us confused, but isn't this entire tale just a little suspicious? Last we heard, Paris doesn't even do drugs. Like, never. Like, she'll take an Adderall when she feels dizzy and stuff, but she has Never. Tried. Drugs. Then again, maybe the reason that she got her facts messed up was because she was as stoned as Snoop Dogg when she told that lie story on Larry King last summer. At this point, that's the best possible explanation we can come up with.

• PARIS HILTON QUIT SMOKING POT TO COMBAT MUNCHIE WEIGHT GAIN [Celebitchy]

And sure, that may sound fun, but think about it. Do you really want to act like Tom Cruise when you're high? Sitting on the couch playing Xbox 360 is way better than jumping on it. Listening to Pink Floyd in your headphones is way better than dancing around to Bob Seger in your tighty-whiteys. Eating nachos is way better than... eh, you get the idea.

Anywho, if you wanna rip a sweet bong load of Tom Cruise Purple for yourself, you'd better break out that club card and act fast. Cruise's notoriously litigious lawyers are already trying to get it removed from store shelves.

[Ed. Note - If anyone happens to have some of the Purple lying around, we would LOVE it if you would forward us a photo of the container. Righteous!]

• Medical high jinks leave Tom Cruise camp fuming

The gravity bong expert is none other than big baller Cisco Adler, the couch potato with a preference for apple bongs is Jonah Hill (sooo not surprised), and the lip gloss tipster is original America's Next Top Model winner Adrianne Curry. Other star contributers reportedly include Adam Levine, Melissa Etheridge and none other than Kumar himself, Kal Penn. If only Shoe Fairy Neil Patrick Harris would join his H&K co-star and come out of this closet, we'd start pre-ordering ASAP.

• REEFER MADNESS, CELEB-STYLE [NY Post]

I'm told that "GE is not going to fool around with this, these are serious issues" regarding drug taking. My understanding is that Jeff Zucker heard the rumors of Silverman's marijuana use only after he handpicked him. So the boss told the exec that couldn't be tolerated. "Once you start being paid, you can't do that, Ben. It's illegal," Silverman described the conversation to someone. In response, Silverman apparently offered to "pee into a cup" right there and then but wasn't asked

This constrasts with Silverman's own talk on the subject. He has readily claimed he never "did blow". But on the subject of marijuana, I understand he tells people that he's "35, and single, and wears hemp sneakers and pot leaf designers, and has parents who were hippies, and loves Cheech and Chong." I'm also told he often describes his marijuana use within the context of "a major member of the artistic community" and "the culture of fun in the creative community" on a par with being one of People magazine's most eligible bachelors and having best friends who are actors and directors. He also points out that he lives in Santa Monica, which recently passed a bill to move marijuana smoking to the bottom of the police priority list, essentially decriminalizing it. I'm told that, at the same time, he has said he "wouldn't care if my employees smoked dope on the weekend instead of drinking a highball".

Even if he never "did the blow," Silverman should take care not to alienate the industry's ubiquitous cocaine enthusiasts; for NBC to truly evolve into a pure "culture of fun," there needs to be an acceptance for all types of party people, whether they find inspiration in meticulously chopped, perfectly parallel lines or an expertly rolled joint.
