POT pizza prescription...
A Massachusetts medical marijuana dispensary has created a culinary delight for patients who don't want to smoke their prescribed cannabis or eat it in the form of sweets.
Only people with state-issued medical marijuana ID cards are eligible to buy the pies.
Quincy-based Ermont Inc. has sold more than 200 cannabis-infused pizzas over the last three weeks, to rave reviews.
Director of Operations Seth Yaffe says the company has a whole range of marijuana edibles, but he wanted to offer meals that patients could eat without also consuming a lot of sugar.
The 6-inch cheese pizzas sell for US$38 each, with the tomato sauce containing 125 milligrams of THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana.
Only in America - a Utah woman has been arrested after pulling two of her son's teeth in a Walmart restroom.
Prosecutors said Monday that the 47-year-old woman bought hand sanitiser and needle-nose pliers from the store, then took them into the toilet and pulled two of her seven-year-old son's teeth, without anaesthetic.
Police in American Fork, Utah, say the boy's older brother heard the child screaming and got him out of the restroom.
The woman was charged with felony child abuse, but has not been named in the press to protect her son's identity.
