United for Care, a pro-medical marijuana lobby backed by attorney John Morgan, faces its biggest opponent: Florida’s cops. In June, members of the newly formed Don’t Let Florida Go to Pot coalition assembled in Tallahassee to educate voters on the dangers of marijuana and discourage voters from passing Amendment 2,…
“Molon Labe.” It’s a Greek phrase well-known to Army folk. It means “come and take it,” and it’s what King Leonidas supposedly told Xerxes before the Battle of Sparta. The slogan, which was used during the Texas Revolution, is also popular among Second Amendment activists today. Military members, separatists, and…
Robert Platshorn is getting high today. That is, he’s going on an airplane. High Times called him up yesterday to say that he’s being gifted free tickets to this weekend’s Cannabis Cup in Seattle. The reason? After 28 years in prison and six years on probation for smuggling weed, the…
Never get high on your own supply. That classic piece of advice comes from Tony Montana in Scarface. But Pejman “Vincent” Mehdizadeh, a 36-year-old medical marijuana entrepreneur based out of Los Angeles, thinks the credo applies to dispensary workers just as much as cocaine kingpins. In fact, the way he…
AAA knows what you did last summer. I mean, not specifically you, but all of us. Red-blooded Americans. Every year, many of us use Labor Day as an excuse to not only abstain from work but to become pretty much incapacitated. While there’s a drunk driving fatality every 51 minutes…

Charlie Crist does not know the meaning of the word “party.” I’m not just talking about his running for Governor as a Republican, and State Senator as an Independent and then, finally, for Governor again as a Democrat. Whatever. Switching things up is exciting. In contrast, his primary victory celebration…
When David Hollander couldn’t get Will Smith to take up his cause, he turned to some of Palm Beach’s rappers. When that crew told him his mission was lame, he came up with the moniker he now performs under: Pro Se. The legal term means “to represent yourself,” which is…

Remember Colin and Andrea Chisholm? The couple owned a yacht, lived in a Lighthouse Point mansion, and touted themselves as Scottish aristocrats, all while collecting public assistance.

Stitches is a viral rapper, but he’s also a human meme. When the video for “Brick in Yo Face” hit the internet this past April, it racked up 6 million views in six days. The rhyme slinger was quickly declared a sensation, but he wasn’t without his fair share of…
It’s hard to be black in Lake Worth. At least that’s how the rapper 28 Gramz tells it. The 27-year-old self-described “King of Palm Beach County” wants people who live east of Dixie Highway to understand his struggle. This past June, he released “Living in Lake Worth” through Smokeface Entertainment…
Father Richard Vitale knows what it’s like to feel unwanted by God. His family in New York was a triple whammy of conservatism: Roman Catholic Republicans who were deeply involved in the Boy Scouts. He knew he was attracted to other boys at the age of 6, although he was…
Former governor wants Florida to stay kid-friendly. You know, like Disney World. That’s why people shouldn’t vote yes on Amendment Two in November.

It seemed like the police in South Florida had it out this summer for Critical Mass, the end-of-the-month group bike ride that takes place in hundreds of cities across the world. In Miami, Police Chief Manuel Orosa told reporters the mass had been taken over by “anarchists” and said organizers…
If medical marijuana rolls out in November, people with legal businesses related to pot will be living like they’re in Breaking Bad. Until weed is legal on a federal level, it’s not going to be easy for people to stick their profits from the biz into a Wells Fargo. Instead,…
“No good those cats ever did nobody,” Jack Laban says before spitting onto the sand in the Big Cypress Preserve. Laban and other rural Florida residents say the Florida panther’s rebound is destroying their way of life. Gladesmen believe a monster cat created in 1995 to save the species is…
One day after Tony Bosch was arrested for illegal steroid distribution, the reporter who broke the story on A-Rod’s doping scandal, Tim Elfrink, will be hosting a Reddit AMA.

A Voyeuristic Look at Camming Con 2014 from Voice Media Group on Vimeo. This past weekend, hundreds of cam girls — or women who make a living chatting with or performing for fans online — descended upon the Eden Roc Hotel in Miami Beach. That’s where CammingCon, the first-ever expo…
Little Red Bunny is taking a breather outside the Eden Roc in Miami Beach when a soon-to-be fan approaches her. A middle-aged man wearing cargo shorts, an orange Polo and a visor waddles up as the famous cam girl takes in a pool-side view. “Your look is cute,” the dweeb…
Jack Laban swears a cat was out here raising hell just this morning. Mosquitoes slurp blood through the 94-year-old shirtless Gladesman’s baggy skin as he hobbles across a landfill of empty Pepsi cans and settles into a folding chair. The former Miami plumber with a full head of white hair…
