If the matter were just up to Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield, their ice cream company, Ben & Jerry’s, would probably be making and selling marijuana-flavoured ice cream in the three states where recreational marijuana is legal. Their openness to the idea stems from the fact that the two men admit to using cannabis. That’s why their view of weed goes beyond making a gelato that would cause the eater to become “high” but a belief that smoking – or ingesting weed in other forms – is okay.

Last night, like a verbal suicide bomber exclaimed on KTVA-TV's 10 p.m. newscast: "And as for this job, well, not that I have a choice but, f*** it, I quit," she said. It followed an open declaration that she was the owner of the Atlanta Cannabis Club.

Charlo Green, reporter, had initially talked about the club on Sunday night's broadcast, but did not mention her link with it, Alaska Dispatch News said. Then she announced that she was the club's owner, and would leave TV, devoting her life instead to making the drug legal in Alaska.

Even before her broadcast, Twitter and Facebook had asked everyone to switch on the channel. Although the club itself did not know that she was quitting, everything became quite clear when the broadcast went live. She said that as everyone had heard why the actual owner of the Alaska Cannabis Club will be quitting, she will commit herself to fight for "freedom and fairness which begins with legalizing marijuana here in Alaska." Quickly, the club put up the anchor's broadcast as well as video clips after loading it up on YouTube. Watch it here.

Once the camera went back to the studio, the other anchor looked a bit dazed. She did apologise, though, and said that she will be back. The news channel spokesman took to Twitter to apologise.

Viewers, we sincerely apologize for the inappropriate language used by a KTVA reporter on the air tonight. The employee has been terminated.

Meanwhile, the Alaska Cannabis Club, which claimed that it is perfectly balancing with the legal rules of Alaska, is offering more medical marijuana to patients. However, readers do not seem to be too sure of its complete stand, as it is managing its business in an area that is still not completely clear about its laws with regard to this.

Meanwhile, those who are not in favour of the legalization of the drug, tweeted that it was a strange thing to do. Marijuana legalization opposition group 'Big Marijuana. Big Mistake. Vote No on 2' posted on its Twitter page: "#KTVA reporter covering ballot measure 2 loses her mind, confesses to being an owner of the cannabis club and quits while on the air."

Charlo Green also explained her stand on her Indiegogo page and added that she is redirecting all her energy toward helping to end a poor drug policy which has spoilt the lives of far too many Americans. She explained that Ballot Measure 2, the move to monitor Marijuana like alcohol in Alaska, isn't just about "marijuana in the Last Frontier, it's about keeping the ball rolling on NATIONAL legalization."

On Nov. 4, voters will decide whether to legalize the recreational use of marijuana as Colorado and Washington have.
