There was a story in the fishwrapper this morning, Gov’t survey: Illicit pot smoking on the rise. It repeats an AP story. PG has a taste for government induced brain damage, and wanted to read the report. He sent to phrase “A new government survey says more Americans are smoking marijuana” to Mr. Google, and waited 0.51 seconds.

The Sacramento Bee has the top result. They print the same AP story verbatim, including the headline. They advertise Verizon, and a local Toyota dealer.

It is the same at the Houston Chronicle , the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Kansas City Star. They copy the AP story verbatim, including the headline.

The *fifth* result at google city is from The National Institute on Drug Abuse. The report is titled “NIDA InfoFacts: Marijuana. ” The information in the report was last revised November 2010. There is little new information in the report.

Yahoo News, the Seattle pi, the Miami Herald, the Bellingham Herald , Forbes, and the Huffington Post all repeat the AP story. None of the news sources, on the Google front page, wrote a new headline. Pictures today are from The Library of Congress . They were taken by Dorothea Lange.
