Medicinal cannabis growers have created a strain of the plant that does not give you a high, but does help relaxation.

Apparently years of growing and breeding marijuana for recreational use have caused the levels of the stimulant Tetrahydrocannabinolreduced (THC) to increase.

Now, scientists have suggested reintroducing a strain of the plant that is high in levels of the relaxant cannabidiol (CBD).

This is pretty interesting, what do U think about creating this new form of maijuana?

Also, don't forget that on November 2, California will be voting on whether to approve Proposition 19, a law which would legalise the drug for recreational use.

That's a bummer, CBS Radio News!

CBS Radio News Correspondent/News Bureau Manager Howard Arenstein was arrested in Washington, D.C. for marijuana possession with intent to distribute.

According to D.C. police spokesperson Lt. Nicholas Breul, vice units received a complaint about the couple growing marijuana in their backyard. Breul claims they found mature cannabis plants that stood more than 8 feet high!

Really, Arenstein? You couldn't have kept the plants to a more reasonable size? And how were you hiding the very unique scent of those plants? Maybe you should have given this operation a bit more thought.

Take a cue from Arenstein and be careful when it comes to cannabis.

The guy had all types of fancy titles at CBS, and now he's kind of screwed, unless he can think of an incredibly creative way to justify posession of 8-foot-high cannabis plants.

We're not too optimistic for the man.

Good! The first step to recovery is accepting you have a problem!

And George Michael has some SERIOUS problems.

This morning in London, George pleaded guilty to drug charges after crashing his car into a photo shop last July 4th. He admitted that he was under the influence and in possession of cannabis when the police found him "spaced out" at the wheel. The judge stripped him of his license for the next six months and warned that George could be facing some jail time.

Maybe some time in jail would be good for him. Time in rehab would be better, but we'll take whatever he can get.

At least he owned up to it, unlike some people. (Stern look at UCLA Medical Center!)

What is he gonna be charged with next? Heroin? Automatic weapons? Heroin-filled automatic weapons?

George Michael has been charged with cannabis possession and, as usual, driving under the influence. This charge follows a July car crash, and a variety of incidents before that.

So, what’s the deal George? London’s for driving stoned and Australia’s for sexcapades?

Michael is scheduled to appear in court in Highbury, in London, on August 24.

If possible, see if you can NOT get into any trouble until the 24th, George.

Do U think George Michael will ever calm down?
