Report: 'Tom Cruise Purple' Medical Marijuana Has Actor Smoking Mad

Fri, Apr 04, 2008 11:35 am


Tom Cruise isn't getting any giggles from a new strain of medical marijuana being marketed as "Tom Cruise Purple."

Word is that the actor's lawyers are taking a serious look at the strong brand of bud after we brought it to their attention.

One of Cruise's friends found it "outrageous" that licensed cannabis clubs in Northern California are selling vials of pot featuring a picture of Cruise laughing hysterically.

Like other followers of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, Cruise is opposed to the use of psychotropic drugs.

Staffers at several California clinics we called said they were forbidden to discuss any of the herbal varieties in their "inventory."

But one weed devotee said, "I heard it's the kind of pot that makes you hallucinate."

Meanwhile, a woman who has been identified as Cruise's former alternative-medicine consultant is due to stand trial in L.A. Superior Court on April 18.

A spokesman for the L.A. City Attorney's office tells us Feline Butcher - aka Feline Kondula - has been charged with 18 counts of unlawfully practicing medicine and one count of grand theft.

The charges stem from Butcher's treatment of Clive McLean, a cancer patient who died in 2005.

McLean's widow, Erica McLean, tells us that Butcher, who's a Scientologist, and another unlicensed practitioner encouraged her husband to abandon chemotherapy in favor of a regimen of "vitamins and 'magic drops.'"

Erica McLean, who was assisted by private investigator Paul Barresi, claims that the couple paid close to $120,000 on useless treatments.

Butcher has pleaded not guilty.

Additionally, Cruise is the unwitting star of a new spoof video in which he's seen cavorting with the bouncing head of Hubbard and dancing Scientologists like Kirstie Alley, Beck and John Travolta.

The video - which you can find at twistedone151.wordpress.com/200-8/04/01/scientology-vs-anonymous-animutation - mocks the controversial church's war with Internet critics, who've come to be known as Anonymous.

A representative for Cruise declined to comment on the video and the "purple" pot, but insisted that Butcher "was not his adviser. He has nothing to do with her."

Way to bitch slap Cheech!!

TCB...re: Cheech

Apr 9 2008, 4:15 am

Well, everybody, once again Cheech is crying that we're calling him names. Here's a quote from this thread that Cheech posted on Monday, April 7 at 00:58, where he generalizes about all us "stoners" by describing us as follows;

"...they're fucking idiots..."

So, Cheech, why is it O.K. for YOU to insult all of us pot smokers en masse by calling us all "fucking idiots", but whenever someone calls YOU a name, it's some horrible attack that's way out of line? My guess is that you'll either ignore this question, or you'll say that the issue at hand is not YOU. But you're wrong, Cheech. The issue here IS you, but you can't face yourself, so you avoid the truth one way or the other. You never did have the nerve to answer my posts the last time I put you in your place. If you want to go back, it's the "How High is High?" story from March 31, 2008 (HT General News archive). That was the one where you posted a series of insults towards us "stoners", calling us "lazy, overstuffed, TV watching morons" who are "catatonically lazy and unproductive..."
YOUR words and YOUR insults, Cheech, and not in answer to another post, either. YOU fired the first shot on that story. Then you spent the rest of the time whining about people calling YOU names in response. Lame. You need a shrink.

If anyone wants to witness Cheech getting properly, repeatedly and deservedly bitch slapped, please check out the "How High is High?" story that I mentioned above. I wrote 5 or 6 posts for that one, so I figure I did MY part.

Cheech is right people. He's is in no way being anti-pot, he's just being OBJECTIVE because this is a LEGAL matter. It is true that these clubs are, in fact, in violation. Tom cruise will win the case if he decies to pursue this issue. Seriously some of you are responding like little kids. simply saying that a club is doing something wrong, like cheech, isnt attacking marijuana or pot heads. He's just telling you what is going to happen in the real world.

The fact is that using someone's name to market a product has it's rules and regulations, none of which are being taken into consideration. Yes, you might think it's funny to name a strain of weed after a popular celebrity but you also have to understand that it would be one thing if some street dealer decided to call the strain Tom Cruise. It's another thing if a legal dispensary, trying to make a name for itself tries to market a strain called Tom Cruise. The difference? The dispensary is trying to operate under what they feel is a legal business. Therefore they should abide by the laws every business abides by. For example Subway would be allowed to have a Tom Cruise Turkey and Cheese Sub. While the idea us quite amusing, this wouldn't be allowed. This is a fact. Tom Cruise would sue Subway and win. So I was stating the fact that using a name for marketing purposes has to go through the proper channels and somehow the pot people seem to think they're exempt from such laws. And so from that aspect, breaking and/or flaunting the laws in an already touchy situation seems pretty silly to me. Weed is illegal, remember. California has very lenient laws regarding weed and that's fantastic. So why would we want to put ourselves in a tougher situation just because we feel the need to name a strain of weed Tom Cruise? Legally Tom's right. That's a fact. And just by stating that fact I get called names. Nobody wants to argue or debate...they just want to scream and yell and avoid the issue at hand. I'm pointing out one difference of opinion and nobody has anything to say other than I'm a faggot or whatever. So please, I've just put forth some facts. Now can anybody tell me where I'm wrong and how "legal" dispensaries have the right to use the name Tom Cruise to market their product?

FUCK SCIENTOLOGY AND IT'S RETARDED FOLLOWERS.

there is a difference

Apr 8 2008, 4:46 pm

between "some people" and "everyone". just because one or two people called you names doesn't mean they represent everyone here, much less the entire movement. I understand that you are pointing out(quite bluntly, in fact,) some of the problems that could hinder our cause, however there is a difference between those of us who are here to talk shop about how to fight for legalization and those of us who are stoned and looking for something to do on the internet, I believe you are hearing the latter reacting to your stern tone, while the former understand you and didn't feel the need to post, or were simply busy elsewhere, I once tried to post a well written fully factual arguement for legalization in another story, but it was too long, over 2900 "charicters" and this site has a 2000 char. limit. I tried to cut it down but would have had to cut alot of important points, so I couldn't post it. I suggest that HT allow larger posts so that a real debate can take place. until then please don't assume that "2nd grade name calling" is the best arguement we have, there's lots of smart smokers out there, they just aren't all in here.

@ Cheech
When are you going to bring facts to the argument?

Cheech

Apr 8 2008, 2:30 am

Again I was only stating an opinion I had about Tom's situation and once again, instead of arguing the issue at hand everyone simply jumps on ME for having the opinion I have. First it was calling me a faggot and the second person just said that he's been to meetings where I've been put in my place and I run for the shadows. Well thanks again for all your lovely attention, but look at what you're doing...ignoring the argument I put there and simply attacking ME for having MY opinion. THIS is WHY you can't get weed legalized. Instead of sticking to the subject at hand you simply attack those who oppose your idea. You'll have to do better than personal attacks if you want THEM to change a law. Please wake up and argue the issue and not ME.

Thanks,
~Cheech

Good Cheech but you can't lump all stoners into one group. We are very diverse. We are a cross section of this world. Young, old, whatever, your only vision of a stoner is of a teenager, couch-locked and worthless. Sorry, you're incorrect but you will make some of us "stoners" pissed at your post... which is your only goal.

Cheech

Apr 7 2008, 12:58 am

Good for Tom. If people want to smear someone's name then at least come out and let everyone know who you are. Yes, even Tom Cruise has rights. May come as a shock to most of you who think it's okay to use and abuse someone's name to sell something. I believe it's called "selling out" or "name dropping". It's something that most stoners don't agree with, like corporate America. But if stoners don't agree with Tom Cruise then it's okay to sell out, right? Wrong. Maybe people should get their own names and creative ideas rather than pick on a celebrity. I'm glad he's suing. Maybe stoners will wake up and realize why they can't get this plant legalized. It's because they're fucking idiots who draw negative attention to their cause. This is just another way to undo any progress you've made in the fight to legalize weed. Because again, it's just another stupid liberty stoners think they have when they don't..that they can use another person's name to market a product. Imagine if someone came out with a product called Tom Cruise Potato Chips. That's illegal. But stoners think that everyone should giggle and say "oh, it's just weed..." Well, is it? Or are you trying to market something? If you are then you're, hate to say it, wrong.

There is in my opinion no better stress relief than cannabis. Well sex is better, but weed is more readily avaliable.

Lesson Learned: Don't smoke kush and go on the internet.

Apr 4 2008, 3:36 pm

Here's a quote from a previous comment posted on this page by a user calling himself Mighty420: "We need to fight terrorists, and there recruiting white Al-Qaeda, so that's why its good to spy on us."

Mighty7420, not to get personal on the internet, but you're either a thirteen year-old or just incredibly uninformed. It's definitly not "good" for the government to spy on the American citizens without proper cause. Warrentless wiretapping by a rogue executive means we're all in trouble. As for the "white al-qaeda" you referenced, they don't exist, but if they did they'd have the most to gain if Americans stopped caring about personal freedom and the soverignety of the individual. Get offline and go read something, may I suggest you start with the Constitution.

I don't see whats wrong with Hillary, Obama or Mccain. I think there all perfect for this country. We need to fight the terrorists, and there recruiting a white Al-Queda, so thats why its good to spy on us. Any of you can be terrorists. I also think its good Obama wants to push a carbon tax, b/c were all going to die from Global Warming. Even though the founder of the weather channel is sueing Al Gore for scaring the our population with Global Warming.

Enough of Ron Paul

Give up he's crazy he's the same guy that wants to legalize drugs? end income tax, get rid of the IRS, rid the CIA, end the patriot act, against a police state and martial law, he's for the 2nd amendment, and the freedom of speech. NO Ron Paul = too much FREEDOM, can't you see we need to controlled by our goverment? So shut up about the RON PAUL SHIT ALREADY SEROUSLY MAN JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP.
