STONER SONGS: "How To Roll A Blunt" (1992)

Named for an instructional High Times centerfold, Redman's hip-hop classic took the art of blunt rolling to new heights - and new heads. Lately, Redman's been into hanging with his favorite magazine, explaining that after hosting our 2006 Doobie Awards, "Redman is an official High Times member."

WHY IS HEMP ILLEGAL?

Officially, America's drug warriors fear that farmers will hide pot plants in their fields, using the look-alike hemp plants to cover up a major marijuana operation. But as anyone who's ever actually grown marijuana can tell you, a field of low-THC hemp would be about the last place on Earth you'd want to hide your lovely, all-female, high-THC marijuana. Just as soon as your girls started to bud, the male plants among the hemp would have a "field day" fertilizing all those virginal ladies, instantly turning your weed into seed. The hemp plants might be proud papas, but from the smoker's point of view, your (very expensive) garden got ruined.

Crappy Crop

Whether Peruvian, Malaysian, or off the Jersey shore, all seabirds drop "guano" rich in the nutrients your crop needs for vegetative and flowering stages of growth. The best way to collect it is by either putting on a clean, white shirt or eating an ice-cream cone on the beach.

Marijuana Martyr

On October 2, 1937- the very day the Marihuana Tax Stamp Act was enacted - a 58-year-old unemployed laborer and part-time reeferman named Samuel R. Caldwell set up shop in Denver's seedy Lexington Hotel. Local police and FBI officers raided, caught Caldwell in the act of selling two joints, and took him down for dealing - the first person ever charged under the brand-new federal law. "I consider marijuana the worst of all narcotics, far worse than the use of morphine or cocaine. Under its influence men become beasts," the judge declared, sentencing Caldwell to four years of hard labor. "I have no sympathy with those who sell this weed. The government is good to enforce this new law to the letter."

Samuel R. Caldwell served every day of his sentence in Leavenworth Penitentiary, on top of a $1000 fine, and died a year after his release.

SKILL OF THE MONTH: COOKING WITH CANNABIS

While many frequent users don't notice any adverse effects from a daily dose of weed, the daily dose of brownies is another story. It's just as easy to add cannabis to healthy foods as it is to not-so-healthy ones. Consider putting your bud in more wholesome options, such as guacamole, spaghetti sauce, smoothies, or stir fries.

Thank you High Times for the tip.

SHOTGUN!

The term shotgun originated among U.S. soldiers in Vietnam, who sometimes smoked the plentiful local sativas out of their shotguns by fitting a loaded pipe into the chamber, lighting it, and having one soldier blow the smoke from the pipe down to his buddy waiting at the business end of the weapon. Nowadays, the same concept can still be applied, albeit without the actual shotgun. The shotgunner simply puts a smoking joint into his mouth backwards, holding the lit end inside so that it doesn't burn his lips. The "shotgunned" then inhales from the unlit end at the same time his buddy exhales in the opposite direction.

Warning: This result may blow your mind.

Thank you High Times for the knowledge.
