MARIJUANA AT THE MOVIES: EASY RIDER (1969)

Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson all toked on real grass while filming this cannabis cult classic, including the legendary campfire scene where they introduced Nicholson's character to marijuana for the first time. When the smoked cleared, this low-budget, high-concept tale of hippie bikers who were "born to be wild" had ignited an American independent cinema movement. Easy Rider also changed the way stoners could be depicted on the silver screen, replacing the usual homicidal maniacs with freethinking, freewheeling revolutionaries. As Dennis Hopper explained to High Times: "It was the first time anybody went out and smoked marijuana in a movie and didn't kill a whole bunch of nurses."

MOROCCAN HASH FACTS

 In 2004, the United Nations' first Cannabis Survey revealed that 134,000 hectares of marijuana had been cultivated to Morocco in the previous year, yielding 42 percent of the world's hashish, and establishing the famous Rif Mountains as the leading international region in the production and export of hashish. Cannabis cultivation in Morocco dates from the arrival of Arab invaders in the fourth century, and has survived countless sultans, kings and even Spanish rule.

SKILL OF THE MONTH: Passing A Drug Test

High Times suggest the best way to pass a drug test is to put time between getting high and unzipping your fly. Most drug test solution products insist on a minimum forty-eight -to-seventy-two hour window of abstinence before the test. THC appears in urine two to four hours after smoking, and may persist in detectable amounts for up to thirty days. Secondhand marijuana smoke should not cause a positive urine-test result.

STONER SONGS: "STONED IS THE WAY OF THE WALK" (1991)

Their first "hit" in more ways than one, the higher-than-high Cypress Hill initially inhaled fame with this ganja-soaked ode to hip hop potheads and then held it in with "Hits from the Bong," "I Want to Get High," and other blunt inspired ditties.

Thank you High Times.

SKILL OF THE MONTH: Debunking Marijuana Myths

Argument: Alcohol and tobacco are bad enough, so why add to our troubles?

Myth Debunked: Marijuana is by far the least harmful of the three. Also, millions of Americans already use cannabis regularly. And most marijuana-related problems stem from the prohibition against it, not its use.

Thank you High Times

Beer Bud-Dies

Once thought to be related to nettles or mulberries, cannabis is now grouped with the family of plants that includes hops. Which is probably a good excuse to have a beer with that bowl - it's practically a family reunion.

Going Green TEN Ways To Beat The Price Of Gas

Well having a delivery service for your medical marijuana is a sure start. Here are the Top Ten by Bud Lee.

*ONE* If you have a smart phone, download a "gas app." There are lots available, but I like #GasBuddy because it's free and simple to use. Another is #CheapGas, (also free) which gives you precise directions to the closest, cheapest station. These are for the iphone, but no worries, there are plenty for you Android types.

*TWO* Use cash when possible. Many stations charge a few cents less per gallon if you don't flex the plastic at their pumps.

*THREE* What's up with topping off with premuim all the time? The fact is most cards don't need it, despite what it says in the owner's manual. To be sure, ask a good independent mechanic if it's safe to use regular or the middle-grade gas in that chick (or dude) magnet of yours.

*FOUR* Now this is sort of a no-brainer, but ... consider carpooling, especially for shopping trips, a day at the beach, etc. Yup, there's even an app for that! Download the Carpicipate App to find new friends and neighbors who also want to share a ride.

*FIVE* And speaking of shopping ... do it online whenever possible. (like http://www.kushcandles.com/) There's actually a study out there that shows shopping on the net saves up to 35% in fuel consumption, not to mention ancillary items like parking, bridge tolls and that impulsive "gotta' have it" latte. Ok, go ahead, have the latte, but don't make it a special trip.

*SIX* Also in the no-brainer department, you can assume, if it's ultra convienent, then you're paying through the nose. So, steer clear of gas station located right off the freeway. Their rents are higher and they charge more, plus they know you want your fill-up to be fast and easy, so they mark it up to whatever traffic will bear.

*SEVEN* Next, you've heard it before, "sometimes you've got to spend money to save money." Sounds like an oxymoron. But in this case, it's totally true. Keep your ride tuned up and you'll get better mileage, and performance too. Clean filters, properly adjusted belts and hoses, good spark plugs and fresh fluids all count, and check the air pressure in those tires now and then. For every three pounds your tires are underflated, fuel economy drops about one percent. It all adds up.

*EIGHT* And, try to control that lead foot. Aggressive driving, while it might be fun attracting the attention of potential girlfriends and or boyfriends, not to mention traffic cops ... it burns a lot more gas.

*NINE* How quickly you accelerate and how fast you go makes a huge difference. How huge? Well, for every mile per hour over sixty you drive, you're spending an extra ten cents a gallon. And, according to Department of Energy studies, erratic and hard braking can waste an additional fifty cents per gallon.

*TEN* Last, do the math. Decide if venturing out on the highway is really worth it. Driving ten miles across town to buy sunglasses on sale probably won't save you anything. In fact, as the price of petrol continues to rise, those new shades may be a lot more expensive then you bargained for.

In the end, the price of gas moves up and down based on world politics and economics, and that probably won't change. But adopt some of these strategies, and you can survive this mess.

STONER SONGS: "I Want To Take You Higher" (1968)

Recorded the year of the moon landing and brilliantly performed the next summer at Woodstock, Sly  & the Family Stone's jubilant anthem embodied the yearning of an entire generation of young potheads that wanted to turn on everyone in the world and show them all a new, and "higher" way to live.

Thank you High Times.

GROW IT FOR YOUR COUNTRY

Believe or not, the first American law regarding marijuana was actually pro-pot. A law established in the American colonies in 1619 required farmers to grow hemp, as colonists could use it for clothing and rope.

Thank you High Times for the words of wisdom.

THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU'RE STONED

Look through old photo albums.

Go birdwatching.

Get married.
Scientific studies prove that cannabis couples have more fun, stay together longer, and always finish their slices of wedding cake.

LOL! Thanks for the tips High Times.

MARIJUANA AT THE MOVIES: GRASS (1999)

Director Ron Mann's powerful documentary film examines the history of the marijuana laws, revealing the rascism, fear-mongering, and social control at the root of cannabis prohibition, and then taking a chronological approach to recounting our illogical War on Chronic. Marijuana activist Woody Harrelson lent his voice as narrator free of charge, telling the long, sordid story of antipot propaganda while over four hundred hours of compiled archival footage gets ably edited down to a highly enlightening eighty-seven minutes.

Thank you High Times for the movie tip.

SKILL OF THE MONTH: IMPROVE YOUR JAY-DAR

If only there was some obvious way for pot smokers to signal their "green light" status to one another. Much like homosexuals, who claim to have gay-dar. we heads must hone our own jay-dar, so we can combat the tactic of divide and conquer that has kept us in the closet for the past seventy years. How do you find the herb smokers in your midst? Start with the obvious: physcial appearance. Sherlock Holmes could draw the most elaborate deductions from simply observing the appearance of a person who entered his flat. You should do some detective work of your own. Look carefully for the following clues, any one of which should set your jay-dar tingling: dreadlocks, tie-dye, hemp, yellowing of the thumb and forefinger, red eyes, droopy lids, dry lips, wide smile, corn rows, Birkenstocks, Rasta colors, yoga mat, skateboard, beard, tattoos, guitar case ...


Thank you High Times for the hints.

OLD-SCHOOL HASH MAKING

Old School Hash Making

Traditional hash making includes several methods of extraction that produce varying grades of end product. In the oldest practice, a collector simply walks through the still-budding fields of cannabis, rubbing the plants by hand and rolling the resin (or charas) that collects into balls. After harvesting and drying, the same buds can later be shaken over screens, beaten against carpets, and pushed through sieves of varying size to filter out the rest of the trichomes from the surrounding plant matter.

Thank you High Times.

HIGH SOCIETY

- High Society with Dave Chappelle -

"When I think about the people I have smoked pot with, they're such an eclectic mix of people, and I probably never would have spoken to a lot of them if it weren't for pot. Alcohol doesn't bring people together like that."


Quote from High Times interview with Dave Chappelle.

All In The Family
