WeedsWeedsNew stoners are often nervous about when to smoke. Rookies sometimes think the best time to smoke is during a party, which is absolutely the right time to smoke herb. But, there are so many other great times to smoke. I've compiled this short list of great times to have a toke.

WHEN TO SMOKE

1. Before you watch a comedy or sci-fi movie: I smoked with my boys before we saw Avatar 3D, I'll just say I thought I was a bio-luminescent Jake Sulley sitting there with my 3D glasses on. Movies are an excellent place to be stoned.

2. Theme Parks: the more stoned you are here, the less the idiot gangsters and fat people will bug you. There is no feeling like hitting the apex of a coaster rise, seeing the drop unfold before you, then clutching the shoulder bar as you scream towards a stoney death. And get a churro for good measure.

Stoner Music Inc.

SilverbackSilverbackIn Los Angeles there is a little music management company called Silverback Artist Management and what they sell is stoner music. The company can trace its beginnings to the band Sublime when founder Jon Phillips managed to get the impulsive and destructive band a contract. Since then Silverback has taken on legendary new-wave stoner band Slightly Stoopid and other equally stoney bands like Fishbone, Rebelution and Pepper. Developing homegrown Southern California talent has been the company's latest goal as The Expendables and Beautiful Girls carve niches for themselves under the wedge created by their predecessors.

Legalize Pot: Save Lives

Cash Flow Chart for marijuana in CACash Flow Chart for marijuana in CANormally here on Ganjarama we like to discuss things tht aren't important to anyone. But today we are putting down the pipe to discuss some serious by-products of our crappy weed prohibition. Yesterday, 16 people were killed in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. This town has been a war zone over the last few years as gangs, law enforcement and cartels battle for control of the entryway where millions of dollars of drugs enter the United States. It is estimated that half of the drugs coming in is marijuana. I guess you could argue that all the Americans who choose to smoke pot are to blame, but I would argue that the law does not represent the American patterns of life.

4:20 is here. Get your pipes out

420: toke up folks.420: toke up folks.Today is April 20. Also known as 4:20, the most important date on the stoner calendar. Why? No one is sure. The leading rumor is that these California kids used to meet everyday after school at 4:20 for a joint. From their humble circle grew the larger stoner circle in which we all pass the Dutchie. It is said to be at San Rafael High School where this legendary group sparked their doobs way back in 1971. Personally, when I want to burn, I burn. I don't wait for 4:20 PM or April 20, but when the world burns, I burn. So... (packs bowl, flicks lighter and inhales) to those who are about to roast, I salute you. Now that I am stoned to the bejeezes, I am ready for the holiday.

Hot 'n Fresh Outta the Kitchen: Baking with Marijuana

Eat me!Eat me!As a long-time marijuana enthusiast and new resident of California, I am tickled pink about the upcoming ballot to legalize and have been yearning to get involved in the business of medical marijuana, like so many others. I recently came across an ad seeking a Baker of gourmet ganja brownies, cake, pastries, and truffles and immediately replied, citing my culinary skills, experience, and enthusiasm. This led me to do some research on baking with mary jane, because while I have enjoyed pot brownies in the past, I have never made any and have always wondered how it is done. This is what I found out.

Stoner Breakdown: Tax Cannabis 2010 Initiative

Reefer Madness: on the November ballot!!Reefer Madness: on the November ballot!!As a pot connoisseur I thought it would be very important to take a real look at the ballot measure up this November in California that would legalize the herbs on a state level for the people of Cali. So I smoked a big bowl of some mediocre Humboldt brick, and dug in. The Initiative would amend and add to various existing laws relating to Health, Crime and Commercial laws. These are my findings:

Where the Wild Things AreWhere the Wild Things AreWith the release of Where the Wild Things Are on DVD, the ad campaigns and cross over ads have brought back strange sentiments from my viewing of the film... and oddly embarrassing moments from my childhood. I'm not sure why I had them, but one thing's for sure: I didn't like the creepy feelings.

Anti Anti-Drug Propaganda

Bill Hicks, reminds us that drugs have yielded many a good time. Of course, pushing the limits of death to their very edge is always fun. I kid, I kid, only heroin, alcohol and cocaine pose an immediate threat, get educated. He also reminds us that society is a mass hallucination designed to keep the rich rich and the rest under foot. And how a fraction of our military spending could feed, clothe and educate everyone on Earth. It's better when Bill says it...

Bic Lighter: A Stoner's Best Friend

By selecter on 3/10/10 12:46pm

Any stoner worth his weight in Buds, knows a Bic lighter is the only way to go. The flame is bold and bright, it ignites almost every time and it rips into green bud like Lawrence Taylor into Joe Theisman.

Other lighters have a wimpy flimsy flame that will often die at the first hint of a breath. And forget about smoking outside, wind often claims the heartiest of lighter flames. Another thing to avoid are Zippos. Zippos, according to Stoner Lore, contain bad chemicals that don't help your high, so avoid those, unless you can do real research to indicate they are harmless.

Subcomandante Marcos:Subcomandante Marcos:If you thought the days of horse riding revolutionaries in Latin America were over, let me introduce you to Mexico's favorite disgruntled militant, Subcomandante Marcos. His secret identity, military style and ongoing fight for Indigenous Rights in Mexico has made him a legend to some. To others he is something akin to a professional wrestler.
