SEATTLE - It's probably not the kind of "whiff" San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum wants to be known for.
Lincecum, a 2008 Cy Young Award winner, is facing misdemeanor marijuana charges following a traffic stop in his home state.
Washington State Patrol spokesman Steve Schatzel said Thursday that Lincecum, a former University of Washington star, was pulled over for speeding on Interstate 5 in the town of Hazel Dell, about four miles north of the Oregon border, on Oct. 30.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. - Military marijuana? The U.S. Army planned to cover a chemical weapons site with grass and weed – but not the kind of grass and weed that's actually cropping up – the kind that's illegal.
The Army made the unwanted discovery during the cleanup of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal northeast of Commerce City, Colo. Part of the cleanup includes reseeding some areas. But when that seed started to grow, marijuana popped up.

LOS ANGELES - Yum!
That was not the response that five California preschool teachers had when they unwittingly tried pot brownies they bought from a street vendor.
The Los Angeles-based teachers ate one brownie each and were "sickened" and became "tired" earlier this year after eating the marijuana-laced treats.
One educator even shared the snack with her son.

RENO, Nevada - Phillip Garrido spent the 1970s on one debauchery after another: LSD trips, cocaine binges, pot smoking, public masturbation. Then in 1976, he found a new way to indulge his twisted sexual fantasies.
He kidnapped a woman from a South Lake Tahoe parking lot, handcuffed her, took four hits of acid and raped the victim in a storage unit in Reno. The investigator in the case described the storage unit as a "sex palace," with various sex aids, pornography, stage lights and wine.

NEW YORK - In 2005, a rebellious and sporadically employed Israeli man flew to New York to give up a kidney to save an American businessman. For that, he says he was paid $20,000, which appeared in a brown envelope on his hospital bed after the operation.
That payoff would be illegal.
But the kidney donor, 39-year-old Nick Rosen of Tel Aviv, says that doesn't matter. "I smoke pot. That's also against the law."

FRESNO, Calif. - Federal and state agents have arrested 83 people for growing more than $1.2 billion worth of pot in an ongoing crackdown on illegal pot gardens in California's Sierra Nevada range.
Local officials said several Mexican marijuana-growing cartels helped set up the grow sites scattered throughout rocky mountainsides of eastern Fresno County, and warned more arrests were likely as the sweep continues.

DALLAS - Notice to drug dealers: if you are going to transport 100 pounds of marijuana in a casket, you should really wear your seatbelt.
That’s the lesson an Arkansas man learned last week after Dallas police pulled him over for driving without a seatbelt and allegedly running a red light. In the back of his van, a drug-sniffing dog turned up a casket filled with 100 pounds of weed instead of a dead body.
