I’m not usually one to write about celebrity gossip, but I have to make an exception this time. I’ve been searching for the right article to ease my way into writing about marijuana, and I think I’ve finally found just that:

A new strand of Medical Marijuana recently started being marketed under the name “Tom Cruise Purple.” The vials of marijuana are being sold with a picture of Cruise laughing hysterically, but he doesn’t find anything funny about it.

As a Scientologist, Cruise doesn’t believe in drug use. According to an article in the NY Daily News, “the actor’s lawyers are taking a serious look at the strong brand of bud after we brought it to their attention.”

Several California clinics were questioned about the strain, and though most refused to discuss the details of their inventory, there was one who stated “it’s the kind of pot that makes you hallucinate.”

I think this is both awesome and hilarious. I’ve smoked a lot of pot in my day, but none has ever made me hallucinate. I think Tom Cruise should chill out and be happy that such an honor? has been bestowed upon him. Maybe sparking up a bowl of his namesake would do him some good!
