Idaho authorities bust a dozen head shops
Idaho has some of the toughest statutes in the nation regarding paraphernalia and simple pot smoking. Merely being in a place where people smoke pot is a misdemeanor worth 3 months in jail. If you are found to be stoned in public, you can get 6 months in jail. Being caught with a pot pipe (with no pot) can get you a year in prison. If you’re caught with some pot, there’s another year in prison. If you do any of this around a child, the crimes rise to a felony with 5 years in prison. Selling pipes, bongs, grinders, and kief boxes in Idaho is a felony worthy of nine years in prison and a $30,000 fine.

In every other state, including Oregon, the process is very tightly controlled.

Electric Tuesday: Stay Low Productionz – “Blunted”
Stay Low Productionz is the recording identity of one Jeremy Bradshaw from Boise, Idaho. As a fellow Boisean, I was attracted by the name of this album, “Idaho Baked Potato Beats”.
