24 Aug 2010 - After his 4th of July arrest George Michael has plead guilty for driving under the influence of marijuana.

“The judge at the magistrate’s court who heard the 47-year-old star’s guilty plea warned Michael he could face time in jail when he returns to be sentenced on September 14. ‘I make it clear the options in respect of sentence remain open, including the power to imprison,’ Robin McPhee told the court, according to the Press Association. ‘It is a serious matter. Your driving was extremely poor and there was an accident. There is also a conviction from three years ago.’ …The court heard how a police patrol found Michael slumped at the wheel of his Range Rover car in the early hours of July 4 after smashing into the facade of a photographic shop in Hampstead…The star was arrested and taken to Hampstead police station where he was found to be carrying cannabis cigarettes. A blood sample was taken and chemicals linked to cannabis were found in his system.”

20 Aug 2010 - The actor Cheech Marin, one half of the famous pro-pot duo "Cheech & Chong", sees the possibility of marijuana legalization very real.

According to Marin, President Obama is doing enough to support the fight for marijuana legalization by "not prosecuting" those who use medical marijuana, but he'd like to see the president live up to his campaign of "hope" and devote some attention to America's economic crisis.

"In (Obama's) administration, I'd like to see marijuana legalized and I'd like to see him keep working to straighten out the economy, because at the end of the day, no matter how highfalutin your philosophy is, if the economy isn't working, then the country isn't happening," Marin said.
