Charlie Sheen-Branded Marijuana Comes to L.A. Pot Shops (Maybe)

Sheen smokes ... a cigarette.

We told ya about Michael Phelps-brand weed. Then there was Chuck Norris -- apparently it's a kick in the pants.

But can you really get any higher than ... Charlie Sheen?

TMZ reports that "several" pot shops in our humble medical marijuana capital of the nation were selling a Sheen strain of cannabis.

This after a week or so of Sheen going off the rails with self proclamations about his tiger blood and Adonis DNA. His anti-semitic ranting also got his top-rated show, Two and a Half Men, canceled for the season.

So if, instead of medicinal healing, you want nutty behavior, go for an eight or even a half-ounce of Sheen.

But can you really "smoke Sheen" if you're not a porn star? Apparently now everyone can do it.

Sheen?

This stuff might be good, psychedelic even -- but it couldn't possibly be more potent than a suitcase full of coke.

Interestingly, we called more than a half dozen "providers" and none had Sheen. (Sample phone call: You got the Sheen, man? "Huh?").

One pot shop worker said the strain "sounds like bullshit."

Another said, "We don't carry that, no, but it sounds awesome."

And what's with the dispensary workers who answer the line in hushed tones and say they can't speak over the phone? Are these legitimate, out-in-the-open, nonprofit enterprises to benefit the seriously ill, or what?

Not if they don't have Sheen.

Its just an OG strain. Someone probably had it finished and growing long long before this Charlie Sheen trainwreck began.

I see this brand and the one's pushing it as a joke myself.Thanks for the update L.A. Weekly!

This an awkward attempt to stir up a trend... Why, why is this linked from front page? LAweekly, could you be any worse? AOL Patch/Huff will be replacing you in a couple of years.

You can make jokes about dispensaries not being legitimate nonprofits (probably because COLLECTIVES are non-profit and DISPENSARIES are specifically for-profit) but I hear those same people make funny jokes about legitimate journalists who spent their parent's money on journalism school but are now writing a blog for a dying alternative weekly after you hang up the phone.

LOL I can't even imagine holding a straight face if I heard "Dennis Romero, LA Weekly, hoping if I could get a quote." Regular fucking Bernstein over here.

LOL your a dumbass journalists aren't shit anymore. They don't even need to list legitimate sources anymore, they know nothing and just spew out lies to bend weak minds like yourself hahaha.They go to journalist school to learn a skill most of us have known since kindergarten HOW TO READ&WRITE. If you think a so called journalist is smart, wait till you go to a university with professors with PHDs that's smart.

The reason cannabis workers are tight lipped on the phone is due to harassment by the law, which is mostly due to efforts of anti cannabis forces, and articles written by anti-cannabis crusaders, like Dennis Romero.
