<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Associated Press)</p>
<ul>
<li>Zimmerman&#8217;s second-degree murder trial is set to start next month</li>
<li>His attorneys have released a batch of photos and texts from Martin&#8217;s cell phone including images of Martin smoking and a photo of a gun</li>
<li>Prosecutors want evidence omitted from trial</li>
<li>The defense team also want to use blood tests that show traces of marijuana in Martin&#8217;s system</li>
</ul>
<div>Explosive new pictures from Trayvon Martin&#8217;s cell phone show the slain Florida teenager blowing smoke rings, a photo of a gun and what appears to be a marijuana plant.The data released on Thursday by George Zimmerman&#8217;s attorneys also include worrying text messages with a friend about fighting, smoking pot and being forced to move out of his mother&#8217;s house because of trouble at school.A hearing next week will decide if the information can be used at the trial for Zimmerman, who is charged with fatally shooting the unarmed 17-year-old last year.</p>
<div></div>
<div><img alt="Photos: New photos, including above, from Trayvon Martin's cell phone shows the slain Florida teenager blowing smoke rings, a gun and what appears to be a marijuana plant" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/05/24/article-2330068-19F7F8E0000005DC-140_634x642.jpg" width="634" height="642" />Photos: New photos, including above, from Trayvon Martin&#8217;s cell phone shows the slain Florida teenager blowing smoke rings, a gun and what appears to be a marijuana plant</div>
<p>Prosecutors want the negative evidence omitted, but Zimmerman&#8217;s lawyers said if they try to portray his client as the antagonist and Martin as the victim, he wants to show the jury that Martin has talked about fighting before.</p>
<div>
<p>&#8216;If they had suggested that Trayvon is nonviolent and that George is the aggressor, I think that makes evidence of the fighting he has been involved with in the past relevant,&#8217; said Mark O&#8217;Mara.</p>
<p>Zimmerman, 29, has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming self-defense and his trial starts next month. O&#8217;Mara also filed a motion on Thursday asking for a delay in the start of the trial so the defense team can talk at length with an expert witness for the prosecution.</p>
<p>The photos released by Zimmerman&#8217;s defense team also show Martin extending his middle finger to the camera.</p>
<p>In the text messages, Martin tells a friend that his mother has told him he needs to move in with his father since he was caught skipping school. He also talks with a friend about smoking &#8216;weed.&#8217;</p>
<div></div>
<div><img alt="Gun: A photo of a .40-caliber Smith &#38; Wesson handgun were among those released" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/05/24/article-2330068-19F7EF41000005DC-163_634x474.jpg" width="634" height="474" />Gun: A photo of a .40-caliber Smith &#38; Wesson handgun were among those released</div>

<div><img alt="Building a defense: The data was released on Thursday by George Zimmerman's attorneys" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/05/24/article-2330068-19F7EF45000005DC-463_634x481.jpg" width="634" height="481" />Building a defense: The data, including the above photo of what appears to be a marijuana plant, was released on Thursday by George Zimmerman&#8217;s attorneys</div>
<p>On November 22, 2011, three months before the shooting, Trayvon wrote messages about being involved in a fight. His unnamed opponent, he wrote: &#8216;got mo hits cause in da 1st round he had me on da ground an I couldn&#8217;t do ntn. (sic)&#8217;</p>
<p>Six weeks earlier he wrote a text about problems at school involving a fight: &#8216;I was watcn a fight nd a teacher say I hit em. (sic)&#8217;</p>
<p>Prosecutors have filed a motion asking Circuit Judge Debra Nelson to prevent the photos, texts and other personal information from being used at the trial.</p>
<p>The hearing is set for next Tuesday when the judge also will consider the motion to delay the trial.</p>
<p>Attorneys for Martin&#8217;s parents said in a statement that the photos and texts were irrelevant to the trial and could pollute the jury pool.</p>
<p>&#8216;Is the defense trying to prove Trayvon deserved to be killed by George Zimmerman because (of) the way he looked?&#8217; they said.</p>
<div></div>
<div><img alt="Trial: The prosecutors want the negative data about Trayvon, pictured, omitted " src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/05/24/article-2330068-19F7EF4D000005DC-633_634x480.jpg" width="634" height="480" />Trial: The prosecutors want the negative data about Trayvon, pictured, omitted</div>
<div></div>
<div><img alt="Texts: The text messages show Martin and a friend discussing fighting" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/05/24/article-2330068-19F7EF31000005DC-399_634x508.jpg" width="634" height="508" />Texts: The text messages show Martin and a friend discussing fighting</div>
<p>&#8216;If so, this stereotypical and closed-minded thinking is the same mindset that caused George Zimmerman to get out of his car and pursue Trayvon, an unarmed kid who he didn&#8217;t know.&#8217;</p>
<p>As for the delay, O&#8217;Mara said he needed more time to review the qualifications of a prosecution witness with an expertise in speech identification.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Mara said prosecutors only made him aware of the expert a short time ago. The expert could be used to testify whose voices were on 911 calls that captured the fatal fight between Zimmerman and Martin.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Mara said in an interview that he needed another month or two to prepare. He also said that he is going to ask a judge to sequester not only the jury but the jury pool in the upcoming trial. That may involve sequestering 500 potential jurors in order to find six people who can serve on the jury.</p>
<p>The texts and pictures come after Zimmerman&#8217;s attorneys released photos showing evidence related to the night in February 2012 when the neighborhood watch volunteer shot and killed Martin.</p>
<p>The new batch of photos include pictures of Martin&#8217;s belongings on the night he was killed including the cell phone he used to speak to his girlfriend for the last time, plus the Skittles and bottle of ice tea he had just bought at a local 7/11.</p>
<p>Defense attorneys have issued the photos as they prepare for Zimmerman&#8217;s upcoming second-degree murder trial, which is scheduled to begin June 10.</p>

<p>The photos, taken by Zimmerman&#8217;s defense team on August 8 at a state crime lab, show other important pieces of evidence including the hoodie with a bullet hole in it that Trayvon wore, reports the Orlando Sentinel.</p>
<p>Two photos that had not been released before Wednesday show Zimmerman in a cap and gown during a graduation ceremony at Seminole State College.</p>
<p>Zimmerman was pursuing a two-year criminal justice degree, but while he attended the ceremony, school records show he did not actually graduate, having failed one of his classes.</p>
<p>Other images, which have been seen before, include photos of Zimmerman with a broken and bloody nose and surveillance images showing Martin buying Skittles and a bottle of iced tea at a 7-Eleven just minutes before the deadly scuffle.</p>

<p>These are the photographs his defense team believe will best serve their client&#8217;s self-defense case when his trial begins next month hope these are the images that</p>
<p>Defense attorneys had to list all evidence turned over to prosecutors. It include items they opted not to make public because of Florida privacy laws, including half dozen autopsy photos of Martin plus 17 taken of him at the scene of the shooting.</p>
<p>The 29-year-olf former Neighborhood Watch volunteer killed Trayvon, an unarmed black 17-year-old, on Feb. 26, 2012, after calling Sanford police and describing the teenager as suspicious.</p>
<p>Zimmerman&#8217;s defense team also filed a motion on Tuesday asking the judge to deny a request by prosecutors to ban blood samples from Trayvon Martin&#8217;s autopsy from being submitted as evidence during the trial.</p>
<p>According to Zimmerman&#8217;s lawyers, the results of those blood tests showed traces of marijuana in Martin&#8217;s system, and they argue jurors should know that.</p>

<p>The defense claimed Martin brought pot with him to Sanford and used it at least once before he was killed.</p>
<p>But prosecutors called that evidence irrelevant to the events surrounding the shooting, saying there was no evidence suggesting Martin used the pot at or even near the time of his death, and no witnesses have suggested that the level of marijuana in Martin&#8217;s blood had any bearing on the cause of his death.</p>
<p>Two weeks ago Zimmerman told a circuit judge he would not be seeking an immunity hearing under the state&#8217;s ‘Stand Your Ground’ self-defense law.</p>
<p>Under questioning from Circuit Judge Debra Nelson, George Zimmerman repeatedly said ‘yes’ to a series of questions asking if he was aware he was giving up the right to a hearing before his second-degree murder trial in June.</p>

<p>Heavy burden: Zimmerman, pictured left during his latest court appearance and right in a mugshot,  reportedly has put on more than 100lbs from the time of his arrest in 2012</p>
</div>
<p>A judge would have sole discretion in an immunity hearing to decide if Zimmerman is exempt from culpability in the shooting. A jury would make the determination in the murder trial.</p>
<p>‘After consultation with my counsel, yes, your honor,’ Zimmerman said.</p>
<p>The judge had set aside two weeks at the end of April for an immunity hearing should Zimmerman want one.</p>
<p>Prosecutor Bernie de la Rionda had filed a motion asking that Zimmerman make clear his intentions on whether he wanted the hearing.</p>
<p>Zimmerman&#8217;s defense attorney, Mark O&#8217;Mara, told the judge there was nothing in the law that required the immunity hearing to take place before Zimmerman&#8217;s trial and could be requested after prosecutors have presented their case.</p>

<p>High-profile case: Zimmerman (left) is accused of shooting dead Trayvon Martin (right), an unarmed 17-year-old boy, during a February 2012 confrontation in a gated community in Florida</p>
</div>
<p>‘We&#8217;d much rather have the jury address the issue of criminal liability or lack thereof,’ O&#8217;Mara said.</p>
<p>Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty, claiming self-defense. Trayvon Martin, an unarmed 17-year-old boy, was fatally shot February 26, 2012, during a fight with Zimmerman in a Sanford gated community.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Mara also wanted the court to unseal details on a civil settlement totaling more than $1million that Martin&#8217;s parents received from Zimmerman&#8217;s homeowner&#8217;s association.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Mara contended the settlement could influence the testimony of Martin&#8217;s parents, if they are called as witnesses.</p>
<p>The judge said defense attorneys and prosecutors could see full copies of the settlement but the public would only be able to see a version from which some information has been removed.</p>
<div></div>
<div>
<div><img alt="Mark O'Mara" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/04/30/article-0-198EC550000005DC-120_306x423.jpg" width="306" height="423" /></div>

<div></div>
<p>Opposing sides: Zimmerman&#8217;s attorney Mark O&#8217;Mara (left) asked the court to unseal details of a settlement that Martin&#8217;s parents, represented by Benjamin Crump (right), received from homeowner&#8217;s association</p>
</div>
<p>Nelson rejected a request by O&#8217;Mara to find fault with prosecutors for what the defense attorney described as violations in providing discovery evidence to them.</p>
<p>O&#8217;Mara said that prosecutors&#8217; failure to disclose evidence in a timely manner had caused his team ‘hours and hours of work.’</p>
<p>The judge said she would hold a hearing after the trial to determine if prosecutors should have to pay for some costs that O&#8217;Mara said he incurred because of the alleged discovery problems.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Now for those of you who may not know I am an avid weed smoker and have been taking my daily tokes p]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Now for those of you who may not know I am an avid weed smoker and have been taking my daily tokes pretty steadily for the last few years&#8230; ok more like few FEW years&#8230;. I started my affair with the wacky tabaccy in order to have something in common with a guy I was dating. (BAD IDEA!!) But in the end it did introduce me to the wonderful world of Mary Jane! This wonderful little high has enabled me to be able to think just one thought instead of a thousand and therefore function doing remedial brain numbing tasks that would otherwise skip the radar and should really be done.</p>
<p>It is about the ten year mark since I have started to partake in the ganja so why the fuck not write a blog for Cannabis!</p>
<p>I am not your average pothead I like to refer to myself as a “functioning potheed” -I use this pronunciation because it sounds more civilized than pothead. I have had my moments with certain strains where I felt like I personified the stereotypical stoner. But for the most part, I don’t get red eyes and I can carry on a conversation with  the same intellect and wit as if I was sober.  Basically if you have met me in the last 4-5 years there was a 80% chance I was stoned and you had no idea (unless of course you were smoking with me! lol).</p>
<p>To stop myself from having a non-productive high I make a list before smoking a bowl, then I hit one back and turn on some tunes and complete each item with some dancing involved! It does help to be in a good positive mind frame before hittin a bowl as it does tend to enhance your feelings (be them good or bad). &#8230;. stupid feelings! Lol</p>
<p>I have gone on stints of not smoking purple sticky punch (especially in AUZ $$) and it can be done and Joefish and I seemed fine, we weren’t textbook withdrawal volatile or anything of the sort. &#8230; well no more than hormonally usual for me (stupid hormones!)</p>
<p>But even though I have a tendency to partake in a little Cheech and Chong time and rant on in blog form it is, again, something I had planned to do so therefore = productive.</p>
<p>I realize the irony in posting about being a functioning Potheed while rambling on for 400 words about &#8230;. well nothing much but still you read it fucker! BOOOOONNNNNGGG!</p>
<p>I don’t know if I will smoke it for a long period of my life or short term, I am not one to dictate my path but I do enjoy the laughing grass and will stick with it!</p>
<p>May your Fridays be filled with continuing to fuck the dog! (thanks for including me!)</p>
<p>And may your weekends be filled with the Green Monster, Sticky Icky, Pot, Reefer, Devils Lettuce, Puff the Magic Dragon, Cheeba, or for some&#8230; the piano! <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have seen several States effectively legalize the recreational use of <a class="zem_slink" title="Cannabis (drug)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_%28drug%29" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Marijuana</a> in particularly <a class="zem_slink" title="Washington (state)" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=47.5,-120.5&#38;spn=3.0,3.0&#38;q=47.5,-120.5 (Washington%20%28state%29)&#38;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Washington</a> and <a class="zem_slink" title="Colorado" href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.0,-105.5&#38;spn=3.0,3.0&#38;q=39.0,-105.5 (Colorado)&#38;t=h" target="_blank" rel="geolocation">Colorado</a>. This has caused dramatic increases in the amount of reefer grown in those States. Well the <a class="zem_slink" title="Farmer" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmer" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">growers</a> are discovering that there is a lot of profit being disposed of in the parts of the plants not being used to smoke like the twigs and stems. A grower has found a uniquely organic solution to this problem; he is selling his waste to a local <a class="zem_slink" title="Swineherd" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swineherd" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">pig farmer</a> for them to eat. The farmer was surprised that his <a class="zem_slink" title="Pig" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">pigs</a> were 20% fatter after 4 months of eating the pot. Really! Hasn’t this guy ever heard of the “<a class="zem_slink" title="Effects of cannabis" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_cannabis" target="_blank" rel="wikipedia">Munchies</a>”? I have been told by reliable parties that people who use pot grow increasingly hungry and more sedentary. Why would pigs be any different? I suppose we could also increase their high by piping in music from <a class="zem_slink" title="Jethro Tull (band)" href="http://www.jethrotull.com" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Jethro Tull</a> or setting up TVs so they can watch cartoons all day. What I want to know about is the effects of second hand pot exposure to the people who eat the pigs that eat the pot? Do they eat more of the potted porcine? Do they become more sedentary? Do they have an irresistible urge to listen to Tull or <a class="zem_slink" title="Jefferson Airplane" href="http://www.jeffersonairplane.com/" target="_blank" rel="homepage">Jefferson Airplane</a>? I think the solution is creative and shows not all potheads are brain dead Cheetos® munchers.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">Amanda Bynes is back in the Hollywood Cheese and as you can guess it&#8217;s not good. Plus Leonardo DiCaprio gets some big bucks for a trip in space with him.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">AMANDA BYNES ARRESTED</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It has not been a good week for Amanda Bynes. Earlier this week she was banned from a private flight after trying to use Google as a form of  ID according to TMZ, because she didn&#8217;t have a government issued ID. Look at the bright side at least she didn&#8217;t pull the &#8220;Do you know who I am?&#8221; As you could expect the pilot didn&#8217;t accept Google as identification and she was denied access on the flight. Things got worse for the former Nickelodeon star last night. The NYPD has confirmed to E! News that Bynes was arrested last night. The problems started when Bynes was reportedly smoking marijuana in the lobby of her apartment. The building&#8217;s doorman called the cops to report Bynes. By the time the cops arrived Bynes had gone to her apartment. The officers went to her apartment. When Bynes opened the door, they noticed her bong, which she reportedly threw out the window. The cops also noticed smoke and the smell of marijuana. She was arrested and booked on charges of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence, and criminal possession of marijuana. She&#8217;ll be facing a judge this morning.<b><br style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Arial', 'sans-serif';color:black;" /></b></p>
<p>LEONARDO DiCAPRIO SPACE AUCTION</p>
<p>Leonardo DiCaprio was part of a special auction item at the Cannes Film Festival. Last night a trip on Virgin Galatic space flight was auctioned off. The cherry on top of this auction item was that the winner would personally be escorted on the space trip by actor Leonardo DiCaprio. The winner of the space trip with Leo paid $1.5 million. Another auction item was a pair of tickets on the space flight which went for $1.8 million. The flight space flight is scheduled for later this year and seats are priced at about $200,000. Other auction items included two tickets to the after party of DiCaprio&#8217;s upcoming movie &#8220;Wolf on Wall Street&#8221; complete with a room at the Beverly Hills Hotel for Oscar weekend, a Chopard watch, tickets to the Weinstein party and admission to Elton John&#8217;s annual viewing bash. The lucky auction winner paid $2.3 million for that item.</p>

But this is just simply unlike her at all. Bynes was arrested after there was a call into the police stating that she was seen smoking pot in the lobby. When the police arrived Bynes was already in the comfort of her apartment. But, when they knocked on her door she ran and chucked the bong she had. Bynes i was arrested for reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence, and illegal possession of marijuana. She was sent to a psychiatric hospital last night. She will see a Judge this morning(Friday) to find out her fate.</h2>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1. Former &#8220;Teen Mom&#8221; star Farrah Abraham, who currently has a sex-tape out, announced via Twitter that she has a new reality show in the works. Abraham knows that &#8220;Keeping up with the Kardashians&#8221; is just a title and not instructions, right?</p>
<p>2. In a historic decision, the Boy Scouts of America have voted to allow openly gay youths into the scouts. Gay scouts? What&#8217;s next, allowing them to tie a knot?</p>
<p>3. In a historic decision, the Boy Scouts of America have voted to allow openly gay youths into the scouts, but the ban on gay adult leaders will remain. So don&#8217;t quit your day jobs just yet, priests.</p>
<p>4. While in Cannes, actor/comedian Jerry Lewis reiterated his opinion that women aren&#8217;t funny by saying that he is bothered by women doing &#8220;broad&#8221; comedy. I know it&#8217;s wrong, but I wish muscular dystrophy was contagious.</p>
<p>5. While in Cannes, actor/comedian Jerry Lewis reiterated his opinion that women aren&#8217;t funny by saying that he is bothered by women doing &#8220;broad&#8221; comedy. Looks like someone&#8217;s never seen a little show called &#8220;Suddenly Susan.&#8221;</p>
<p>6. In a recent interview with Esquire magazine, Brad Pitt revealed that he thinks he suffers from face blindness, a disease that prevents people from remembering the faces of others. The whole adopting a kid from each continent makes a little more sense now.</p>
<p>7. A female protestor advocating the closure of Gitmo interrupted a speech being given by President Obama which was supporting the same position. Proving that women aren&#8217;t great listeners either.</p>
<p>8. McDonald&#8217;s announced that Charles Ramsey, the man who helped rescue the three Cleveland women held captive, will get free McDonald&#8217;s from his local restaurant for the next year. Which may explain why Chris Christie has been seen breaking into random basements around New Jersey.</p>
<p>9. Johnson &#38; Johnson plans to seek approval of a new depression-treating drug which contains ketamine, which is the active ingredient in the mood-altering party drug known as &#8220;Special K.&#8221; In an unrelated story, J&#38;J plans to open a new glo-stick division.</p>
<p>10. According to a new study, people who had used marijuana in the past month had smaller waists and lower levels of insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes. Seems like we could have bypassed this entire study by just looking at a picture of Snoop Dogg.</p>
<p>11. According to a recent poll, the least popular country in the world is Iran. The most popular country? That whore France.</p>

<description><![CDATA[WASHINGTON — Marijuana is the drug most often linked to crime in the United States, the U.S. drug cz]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" alt="" src="http://theconservvoice.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/12bc1-1274836335_2f3a.jpg?w=600&#038;h=399" width="600" height="399" />WASHINGTON — Marijuana is the drug most often linked to crime in the United States, the U.S. drug czar said Thursday, dismissing calls for legalization as a “bumper-sticker approach” that should be avoided.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Gil Kerlikowske, the White House director of national drug-control policy, said a study by his office showed a strong link between drug use and crime. Eighty percent of the adult males arrested for crimes in Sacramento, Calif., last year tested positive for at least one illegal drug. Marijuana was the most commonly detected drug, found in 54 percent of those arrested.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The study found similar results in four other cities: New York, Denver, Atlanta and Chicago. Among the cities, it included examinations of 1,736 urine samples and 1,938 interviews with men who were arrested.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Researchers found that marijuana was the most popular drug used by men who’d been arrested in all the cities, ranging from a low of 37 percent in Atlanta to a high of 58 percent in Chicago. Chicago also had the highest overall positive test results, with 86 percent of the men found to have at least one drug in their bloodstreams.</p>

<description><![CDATA[There has been a lot of talk lately about the crackdown on synthetic drugs. WMBF News released this]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><a href="http://sclawyersnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/synthetic.jpeg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-384" alt="synthetic" src="http://sclawyersnet.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/synthetic.jpeg?w=300&#038;h=224" width="300" height="224" /></a>There has been a lot of talk lately about the crackdown on synthetic drugs. WMBF News released this news article that discusses a new synthetic drug, which has been dubbed “OMG, Kush, Magnolia Max, and/or Joker.” For more information on this new synthetic alternative, check out: <a href="http://www.wmbfnews.com/story/22276854/deputies-investigate-new-synthetic-drug-hitting-the-street">here</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Buyers beware, just because you can find it on shelves in your local stores does not mean it is legal! About this time last year, the South Carolina governor signed a law making it illegal to sell and/or purchase synthetic marijuana. The punishment for possession of synthetic marijuana is equal to the punishment for marijuana. Many have changed the compounds in the synthetic marijuana in order to avoid the new law banning synthetic marijuana but the South Carolina lawmakers are working on ways to close the loopholes in the law. For more information on South Carolina’s plan on action regarding synthetic marijuana, take a look at: <a href="http://www.wmbfnews.com/story/22213747/solicitors-office-aims-to-crack-down-on-synthetic-marijuana">http://www.wmbfnews.com/story/22213747/solicitors-office-aims-to-crack-down-on-synthetic-marijuana</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">The following penalties show the differentiation the law makes between possessing a small amount versus a large amount of marijuana. For simple possession of marijuana, (no more than 28 grams), or hashish, (no more than 10 grams), the penalty carries jail time of up to 30 days or a fine ranging between $100 and $200. A second or subsequent offense carries up to 1 year in jail and a fine of up to $1000. If you are charged with carrying more than 28 grams of marijuana or more than 10 grams of hasish the penalties can reach up to 15 years of jail and/or up to $25,000.  If you are facing a subsequent charge for possession of more than 28 grams or more than 10 grams of hasish the penalties can include jail time of up to 30 years and up to $50,000.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">If you are unsure if a product is synthetic marijuana, don’t buy it! Stores may be labeling it differently in order to avoid police suspicion. Not only can the store be criminally punished for selling it but also you can be punished as well for purchasing it. If you have any questions regarding the new laws concerning synthetic marijuana contact your local criminal attorney Daniel Selwa. If you are facing criminal charges for distribution or purchase of synthetic marijuana or natural marijuana, Daniel Selwa can help.  Call Daniel Selwa for a free consultation.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>NEW YORK (AP) —</strong> Police say actress Amanda Bynes has been arrested in midtown Manhattan after she heaved a marijuana bong out of a window.</p>
<p>It happened at an apartment building on West 47th Street at about 7:40 p.m. Thursday.</p>
<p>Police say a building official called police to complain that Bynes was smoking marijuana and rolling a joint in the building&#8217;s lobby.</p>
<p>The officers went to Bynes&#8217; apartment where they saw heavy smoke and a bong, which Bynes then threw out the window in front of the officers.</p>
<p>Bynes was arrested on charges of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence, and criminal possession of marijuana. It wasn&#8217;t clear if she had a lawyer.</p>
<p>Bynes rose to fame starring in Nickelodeon&#8217;s &#8220;All That&#8221; and has also starred in several films, including 2010&#8242;s &#8220;Easy A.&#8221;</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>BALTIMORE (WJZ) &#8212; Police raid an East Baltimore home looking for drugs, but what they find inside is much scarier. An arsenal of weapons, including three assault rifles, and bulletproof vests.</p>
<p><strong>Kai Jackson</strong> has more on the shocking discovery.</p>
<p>Police say the amount of ammunition they found inside that East Baltimore house had the potential for a violent ending.</p>
<p>Baltimore police raided a house Tuesday night in the 100 block of North Kenwood. Officers say they seized guns, drugs and money inside the East Baltimore home.</p>
<p>[worldnow id=8914424 width=385 height=288 type=video]</p>
<p>&#8220;It happened through an undercover investigation where detectives bought in an undercover capacity narcotics out of this house,&#8221; said Anthony Guglielmi, Baltimore Police Department.</p>
<p>Police arrested 29-year-old Fransico Milos and 29-year-old Lynnie Lewis, who live in the home.</p>
<p>Police say Milos is a convicted felon from Florida, and prohibited from owning guns.</p>
<p>Officers say the guns, drugs and money were evidence of a drug operation. But the discovery of 7,500 rounds of ammunition had detectives concerned that something more sinister was in the works.</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> &#8220;Tyrone Smith, this is a picture of the suspect. Do you know him?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Smith:</strong> &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen him, I don&#8217;t know him. I&#8217;ve seen him around the area.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Jackson:</strong> &#8220;What&#8217;s he like?&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Smith:</strong> &#8220;He&#8217;s a nice guy.&#8221;</p>
<p>When asked why he was so heavily armed, police say Milos told them: &#8220;He was preparing for the war,&#8221; but he didn&#8217;t elaborate.</p>
<p>Police say Milos had three handguns, three rifles, including an AK-47 and an AR-15, and one shotgun. They also recovered body armor.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s troublesome to hear that someone would have this type of weaponry in their homes while selling drugs. Also equipped with bulletproof vest equipment,&#8221; said Guglielmi.</p>
<p>Police tell <strong>WJZ</strong> that Fransico Milos is being held on $450,000 bond. The woman living inside the house with him, Lynnie Lewis, is being held on $50,000 bond.</p>
<p>Meantime, the investigation continues.</p>
<p>Police say Lynnie Lewis was arrested because there were drugs in the bedroom she shared with Milos.</p>

<description><![CDATA[ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — Defense attorneys for the Florida man accused of shooting and killing unarme]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — Defense attorneys for the Florida man accused of shooting and killing unarmed Miami teen Trayvon Martin have released photos and text messages from the teen’s cell phone ahead of a hearing that will determine whether they can be used at George Zimmerman’s trial.</p>
<p>[worldnow id=8912886 width=385 height=288 type=video]</p>
<p>The photos released Thursday show Trayvon Martin blowing smoke and extending his middle finger to the camera. The photos also show a gun and what appears to be a potted marijuana plant.</p>
<p>It’s not clear whether the person holding the gun in the picture is Trayvon.</p>
<ul>

<li><a href="http://cbsmiami.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/phone_photos.pdf">Evidence Photos 3</a></li>
</ul>
<p>In the text messages, Martin tells a friend that his mother has told him he needs to move out of her house and move in with his father since he was caught skipping school.</p>
<p>Martin also said a teacher accused him of hitting someone during a fight in school.</p>
<p>There are dozens of text messages the defense said it could present as evidence in the trial.</p>

</ul>
<p>Zimmerman&#8217;s attorney, Mark O&#8217;Mara, could use in Zimmerman&#8217;s defense several videos that were extracted from Martin&#8217;s cell phone, as well as several videos from the Miami-Dade Schools Police Department and Martin&#8217;s school records.</p>
<p>Circuit Judge Debra Nelson allowed the defense to investigate Martin&#8217;s personal life and phone records, ruling the information could be relevant if it showed the teenager had a propensity for violence.</p>
<p>There will be a hearing next week so the judge can determine which evidence will be used at the trial.</p>
<p>Other evidence includes multiple emails and a video that was posted to Martin&#8217;s YouTube channel.</p>
<p>Prosecutors, meantime, have asked a judge to not allow Martin’s drug use or other personal matters from being used at trial. O’Mara wants the judge to deny the prosecutor’s request. He filed a motion Monday claiming that Martin likely was under the influence of marijuana at the time of his death in February 2012.</p>
<p>Zimmerman is charged with fatally shooting Martin last year during a confrontation at a gated community in Sanford where Trayvon was staying with his father.</p>
<p>Zimmerman is pleading not guilty to second-degree murder, claiming self-defense.</p>
<p>His trial starts next month.</p>
