Acting on a tip that fake cannabis was being sold in local stores, authorities going undercover in Seattle reported that an average of 8 in 10 medical and recreational dispensaries were selling the imitation marijuana to an unsuspecting public. Several samples collected and sent to the state crime lab were confirmed to be skunk cabbage.
Symplocarpus foetidus, commonly known as skunk cabbage is a low growing, foul-smelling plant that grows in wetlands of eastern North America. Skunk cabbage was used extensively as a medicinal plant, seasoning, and magical talisman by various tribes of Native Americans, however it is not actual cannabis.
Patty Hayes, the director of public health for Seattle and King county stated that her office has received several reports of the imposter being sold locally and warned that any business caught doing so will be fined, lose their license and face possible criminal charges. When contacted for a statement Mrs. Hayes replied "Many people depend on cannabis for medicine and to put them at risk because of greed is unconscionable".
React 365 contacted Stevia Roboson the owner of Flying Skunk Ranch dispensary in West Seattle (www.flyingskunkranch.com). Stevia said he had heard rumors of fake cannabis making the rounds in the city but guaranteed that only the real thing was available at his stores. "We are serious about providing our patients with the highest quality medicine available" stating that all of his products were fully tested, organic and pest free.
The Washington Initiative 502 legalizing recreational cannabis consumption was passed by popular vote on November 6th, 2012. Initiative 502 defined and legalized small amounts of marijuana-related products for adults 21 and over, taxes them and designates the revenue for healthcare and substance-abuse prevention and education.

whale spotted in illinois river
A humpback whale was spotted near Morris IL in the Illinois River today. The sighting comes just days after 2 Great White Sharks were seen frolicking in the same area. While not impossible, it does seem unlikely. It is thought that the whale may have followed the sharks as they sometimes do in the wild. The whale would of had to travel over 1250 miles to get to this location. The Marine Biologist Association will be in town for a full investigation. Until we have answers, we are asking folks to keep their pontoons and fishing boats docked.

two great white sharks found swimming in mississippi river near saint louis, missouri.
While it is not entirely impossible, it is incredibly uncommon for salt water dwelling creatures to stay for lengthy periods of time in fresh water. However, two Great White Sharks have managed to survive the trip and make their way up the Mississippi River somehow. Believed to have started as a mating couple, the two are assumed to have swam the 920 mile journey from the mouth of the Mississippi River that is connected to the Gulf Of Mexico. Officials in Saint Louis have contacted the Missouri Conservation Department and will likely have a team in the river soon to capture the two lost sharks.
