Medical Marijuana Dispensary Set to Open Pediatrics Wing

Written by The Pirate Sunday, 04 April 2010

Hydro for Health, Steamboat's original medical marijuana dispensary, has announced the opening of a pediatrics wing, the first of its kind in Colorado. "Over the past six months, we've devoted extensive funding to research and development," says Joe Notsinhaelen, primary partner at Hydro for Health. "We think we can fill a void in pediatric medicine and we've developed the products to do it."

Hydro for Health has added a board certified pediatric physician, Dr. Johannes Fuehlgut, to its staff to issue medical marijuana cards to children in need.

According to the final report, Dee, better known in the blogoshpere as drugzkill35, was furiously virtually arguing with ganjajohn and legalguysit on the evening of February 13th, a Saturday. His last recorded "flame" on the Steamboat Pirate and Yesterday Web site was at 2:35 a.m., which is when police believe his head must have completely exploded.

No charges will be filed in the death of longtime Steamboat local and anti-drug advocate Ellis Dee, better known online as drugzkill35, who died of natural causes when his head spontaneously exploded during a vigorous chat session.

"Yeah, it was really gross," stated Steamboat Sheriff Stonedwall Jackson. "There were bits of gray matter and blood all over the place. It looked like one of them Saw movies, except the smell was worse than you think it would be. I've been pretty much having nightmares about it non-stop since then. Seeing a body without a head and all that mess ... it gets to you."

Police will not be pressing any charges against ganjajohn nor legalguysit (whose real names will not be released), as it was deemed they were...
