Not to be outdone by Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga admitted in a radio interview that she used to smoke 15-20 joints a day to self-medicate for a hip injury. And while Gaga believes weed "is the best of drugs" to choose from, she also wants young kids to know they "actually can become addicted to it."

Marijuana—maybe you've heard of it?? It's okay. We're "cool." You can act naturally around us. Look, we all know that the "schmoke" (slang for "marijuana") is everywhere now. Literally millions of American men smoke the dangerous drug. But... the fairer sex? Hold your horses.

The man in line to become the next district attorney in Brooklyn says that he will not prosecute people caught with less than 15 grams of weed, ganja, skunk, cheeba cheeba yall. This could be great for Brooklyn's brand cachet.

It's been a big year for pot, with the states of Washington and Colorado both legalizing the drug for recreational use and many more proposing legalization or already allowing it for medical reasons (or just looking the other way). And now, for the first time ever, a majority of Americans are in favor of weed's full legalization.

Earlier today, we told you about the Weed Fairy, an anonymous New York City benefactor leaving free marijuana buds around Brooklyn's subway stops. It just so happens that after our post went up, the Weed Fairy magically materialized outside Gawker's Elizabeth Street office, taped a couple of Garden Breath posters on our front doors, and left a bunch of weed. This generous stoner is a woman, not a man, and the photo above is evidence of her handiwork.

New York is filled with scamps and scoundrels, perverts and pranksters, so when Brooklyn-via-Denver musician Travis Egedy, also known as Pictureplane, discovered a poster taped to a subway wall with a pinch of weed attached, he had to wonder: Could this gift be for real? And more importantly, should he smoke it?

This plastic shopping bag is filled with weed. Not just any weed: North Korean weed.

It's rare to watch a stoner comedy and think that its director will make a great interview. But Newlyweeds, writer-director Shaka King's independent comedy/drama (opening today at New York's Film Forum), is a rare kind of movie, one that depicts lives and relationships you see infrequently (if at all, on film), and there's an urgency to King's voice underneath the weedy, mellow vibe.

UPDATE: KIRO-TV has determined that the man in the video above is not a real trooper, but is in fact Steve Sarich, the executive director of the Cannibis Action Coalition.

Jenny "Kush" Friede, a prominent Denver medical marijuana activist, was killed this weekend after a drunk driver headed the wrong way down an Interstate slammed into her car.

If you use the popular text-message service called Twitter, then you've surely seen an endless stream of messages each afternoon announcing the arrival of "420," or 4:20 p.m. This means people have begun smoking their marijuana. Yet "beer o'clock" does not come until 5 p.m.

Ten months after Colorado and Washington legalized recreational marijuana use, the Obama administration announced on Thursday that it will not sue to enforce federal drug laws in either state, as long as “strict regulatory schemes” are established.

It's long been a source of furious contention among many a college kid, but now the debate can finally be put to rest thanks to science.

An Ohio man thought he was just ordering a $1700 safe for his 24 long rifles and dozen shotguns, but little did he know it had already been stuffed full of nearly half a million dollars worth of tightly wrapped Mexican bud.

Chris Christie announced Friday that he would sign a New Jersey medical marijuana bill only if it was changed to allow only sick children to consume edible marijuana.

With Washington's marijuana legalization initiative still in the process of taking effect, police in the state's largest city are doing their part to educate partakers — by doling out hundreds of bags of Doritos at Seattle's annual Hempfest.

Alert, medical professionals: television doctor and 2003 People magazine "Sexiest Man Alive" runner-up Sanjay Gupta now supports medical marijuana. Please update your science textbooks.

A Hamptons weed grower and his girlfriend got busted for felony possession of marijuana and misdemeanor gun possession last month after the man accidentally shot his neighbor's above-ground pool.

Here's a crazy idea: A Michigan man convicted of having a large quantity of pot—a plant that everyone smokes to get a little high now and again—was recently given probation by a judge who thought it stupid to send a guy to jail for years just because he got busted growing weed. Wow. Can America survive this kind of insanely rational justice?

A large quantity of marijuana was found inside a residence in Leicester, England, thanks to the incessant farting of a police officer who had recently started a high-protein diet.
