Every morning I hail a cab at the same corner in the West Village in NYC.  Most days, it’s an easy grab, rarely a wait.  But this morning I was running late and there were literally 5 people standing up and down the avenue flailing for a cab’s attention. So, I did what any good New Yorker would do, walked deeper into the stream of traffic and snagged the first cab.  This FTW moment quickly became a moment of FAIL when I saw Jon Stewart standing outside my window. D’oh.

As marijuana quickly becomes more and more socially acceptable, millions of Americans are beginning to understand the lies that they have been told about pot. Here are the five biggest myths about weed that have prevented any kind of legalization movement from getting on a roll.

1. Marijuana Causes Cancer

Many have said that smoking pot and smoking cigarettes is the same thing and, therefore; marijuana must cause cancer, as well. Not only have countless independent studies disproved this, but some have actually found that marijuana decreased tumor growth by as much as 50%. (Sorry, cigarettes will still kill you.)

2. Marijuana Is Addictive

While prolonged use has shown to leave signs of dependence, marijuana does not actually contain a “nicotine-like” compound that causes it to be addictive. (This is similar to being “addicted” to soda.) There are little to no withdrawal symptoms, especially when compared to the withdrawal effects of drugs like cocaine or heroin – or even an alcohol-induced hangover.

3. Marijuana Is a Gateway Drug

Simply put, numerous studies have unequivocally disproved the idea that using marijuana leads to use of harder drugs. Marijuana has actually successfully been used to reduce hard drug users’ dependence on drugs. So, in reality, it is the exact opposite of a gateway drug.

4. Marijuana Causes Brain Damage

Another myth where the exact opposite thing is true: Not only have studied disproved the idea that marijuana damages your brain, they have found that it actually protects your brain from the damage that heavy drinking can cause.

5. Marijuana Has No Medical Uses

The government has often defended its marijuana policy by citing their own studies that say that marijuana does not have any therapeutic effects. Not true. Aside from the uses listed above, marijuana have been proven to have beneficial effects on people suffering from migraines, glaucoma, AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis, epilepsy, stomach disorders, and dozens of other health problems.

And, most recently, even the American Medical Association called for the government to remove its restrictive Schedule 1 status.

With fall in full swing and six teams still undefeated, we are heading into the last leg of the season.  This week features mighty battles in the Mountain West, Pac-10 and Big Ten – and yes, I included the MWC, which could surprise some people and find themselves in the national title game conversation (in the event of a miracle).  Get ready as COED covers this week’s top ten lineup. (more…)

Today, we want to thank all the good men and women of the United States armed services who’ve sacrificed for the security of our nation. And you can do the same by sending care packages to our troops overseas, helping homeless veterans or participating in today’s Veterans Day festivities. We, on the other hand, decided to gather up a bunch of hot chicks in armed services-related bodypaint. Yeah, it’s awesome.

With the US Marine Corps celebrating their 234th birthday today, and Veterans Day tomorrow, we thought we’d get into the patriotic spirit in the way our Founding Fathers intended – with a battalion of camo-clad babes, of course! OK, OK, so maybe George Washington had different ideas about patriotism. But Benjamin Franklin would be on our side, if he were here today. That dude was a pimp.

ou know, we’re beginning to think Gemma Atkinson has a contract to appear in pretty much every British lad mag every single month. And you know what, that’s completely OK with us. With a face this beautiful and a body that rocks so hard it damn near gives us an aneurysm every time we see a picture of her, it’s to be expected.

Nice Rack: 72 Pool Cue-ties

It’s not often you meet a girl that’s good at pool.

Not that women are any less good at the sport, it’s just that pool halls are generally occupied by scragglers and shady fellows – no place for a proper lady.

Which is why the girls that are good with a pool cue are just that much hotter. To celebrate these ball-banging super-stunners, here are a ton of hot chicks playing pool!

The 5 Most Overrated UFC Fighters

There are some guys that, no matter how many times they headline pay-per-views and no matter how many times they are hyped by the announcers, just aren’t main event material.

Hot Girl Twister Party [52 Photos]

When thinking about the mythical male fantasy that is the slumber party, three things come to mind: pillow fights, girls kissing girls and the most brilliant of games – Twister.  Sure, these things really do happen at slumber parties, but the reality is, the girls are rarely as hot and wear a helluva lot more clothes.   So with that, we say f**k reality! Like pillow fighting and girls kissing, Twister is best played by sexy girls, wearing as few clothes as possible and if there is baby oil and jello involved, all the better.  Thank you Hasbro for this game that ‘ties you up in knots’ and welcome to COED’s Hot Girl Twister Party.

Mexican Airbrushed Tailgate Awesomeness [50 Photos]

Living in NYC, it’s a rare spectacle to see a pickup truck, let alone one with an ornamented tailgate.  But down in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California it’s become quite the everyday occurrence, a phenomenon even, known simply as the Mexican Airbrushed Tailgate Mural.

It’s a visual celebration of values strategically painted on the business end of the working man’s chariot.  Not always beautiful, but undeniably awesome.

Sexy Poker Faces… and Bodies [40 Photos]

Lady Gaga’s hit song, “Poker Face” has been making the rounds in the media world as of late. Cartman sang it on South Park.

Even the ever-awesome Christopher Walken did a rendition.

So we thought we’d jump on the bandwagon in the best way we know how: smokin’ hot poker chicks! We don’t mind if these lovely ladies play their cards close to their chest – as long as we get a peek!

6 Pick-Up ‘Negs’ Every Guy Needs To Be Aware Of

Guys are always looking for a way to get the upper hand in the “mating game.” A good starting point would be to follow Budweiser’s advice and know when to say when or if you’re a Kenny Rogers fan heed the gambler’s advice and know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away when the damage is done. In much simpler terms, if you’re into a girl you HAVE to know when she’s rejecting or “negging” you before you get physically denied at the gates. No matter how you use the term – “neg” “negged” “steak ‘n’ neggs” “negg nog” “negatron” “she’s got neggs and she knows how to use them” “Bill and Ted’s neg-cellent adventure” – when it happens, it stings. Below is a list of classic and “new school” negs every guy should be aware of if they want to turn that frown into a visit to Pound Town.
