What Determines Pot's Potency?

The potency of pot varies widely, with THC levels ranging from .3 percent in hemp to 25 percent in the strongest marijuana strains. The amount of THC is determined by a number of factors, including the plant's genetics, its growing conditions, and the point at which it's harvested.

Medical Marijuana: How Can You Be Against It If You Drink?

"Whether you were a pothead in college, enjoy an occasional toke, or are straight-laced and never touch the stuff, you’ve probably taken part in at least one debate about medical marijuana." Read more here at BLISS TREE.

STONER SLANG: "Muggles"

One of the oldest American nicknames for cannabis, muggles dates from the jazz musicians of the '20s and '30s, who spread out New Orleans, bringing new sounds, smokes, and seeds with them as they played gigs all across America. Louis Armstrong and His Orchestra recorded a song titted "Muggles" in Chicago in 1928, almost a decade before federal law outlawed marijuana.

SKILL OF THE MONTH: Traveling With Weed

First of all, no matter what you tell yourself, your driving doesn't improve when you're stoned-it's just that the music sounds a lot better. Also, getting high in the car increases your chances of getting pulled over, and the odor and appearance of pot smoking greatly increases your chances of a search.

Don't speed. And you'll want to get a vacuum sealer-especially if you're carrying around more herb than you'd care to answer for in a court of law. These miracle devices store your greens airtight, keeping them fresh, and on the go. They're also popular among the foodies of the world and will therefore raise no eyebrows at the point of purchase-unless, of course, you ask which brand works best for weed.

Thank you High Times.

BURNING BOOKS: VINELAND (1990)

Considered a solitary genius, and among America's top contemporary novelists, Thomas Pynchon may be best known for long and challenging epics like Gravity's Rainbow and V., but in this novel he turns his considerable talents to a highly readable evisceration of the War on Drugs by taking one of its victims and making him human. Zoyd Wheeler lives a quiet stoner life in Humboldt County, California, until one day a vindictive DEA man abd a federally funded anti-marijuana operation turn his wife against him, and his life upside-down.

Marijuana Quote by Steve Martin

"I used to smoke marijuana. But I'll tell you something: I would only smoke it in the late evening. Oh, occasionally the early evening, but usually the late evening - or the mid-evening. Just the early evening, midevening and late evening. Occasionally, early afternoon, early midafternoon, or perhaps the late-midafternoon. Oh, sometimes the early-mid-late-early morning. . . . But never at dusk." - Steve Martin

HIGH SOCIETY

"One of the traditional and obvious ways of controlling people in every society, whether it's a military dictatorship or a democracy, is to frighten them. If people are frightened, they'll be willing to cede authority to their superiors who will protect them ... The Drug War is an effort to stimulate fear of dangerous people from whom we have to protect ourselves. It is also a direct form of control of what are called the 'dangerous classes,' those superfluous people who don't really have a function contributing to profit-making and wealth. They have to be somehow taken care of."

(Noam Chomsky, (High Times interview, 1988)

MEET MARY JANE: G-13

Allegedly, G stands for "government" and 13 for M, the thirteenth letter of the alphabet. Put them together, and you've got G-13, government marijuana, purportedly pinched from the federal Marijuana Research Facility at the University of Mississippi. Whether you believe the story or not, this pure indica unleashes a powerful high and an intense, musky flavor.

SKILL OF THE MONTH: HEADIQUETTE

Q: I accidentally broke my sister's bong. Do I have to replace it?

A: Tough one. Bongs break-it's a sad fact of life. If you've got the scratch to spare, you might offer to split the cost of a new one, but if replacing the bong creates a hardship, well, your sister will have to understand that it was an accident and absorb the loss. Perhaps you've got a cherished piece of paraphernalia you can offer up in the name of cosmic rebalancing.

MARIJUANA AT THE MOVIES: JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK (2001)

In the ever inward-facing world of director Kevin Smith, superstoners Jay and Silent Bob take center stage in this Clerks sequel, which finds the mismatched partners in crime heading for Hollywood to stop an ill-fated movie adaptation of Bluntman and Chronic, a comic based on their imagined lives as the infamous "Doobage Duo," a pair of average potheads who decide to remake themselves as marijuana superheroes after winning the lottery. To make things even more confusing, an actual comic called Bluntman and Chronic was also produced in real life, based on the fictitious version that first appeared in the plot to Smith's earlier film Chasing Amy. Confused? Good-now go take a few dozen bong hits, and then you'll be ready to begin the journey.

HIGH TIMES ALL STARS: ROBERT PARISH

Also known as "The Chief," Boston Celtics center Robert Parish holds the record for most seasons played in the NBA (21) and most games played (1611). So what's the secret of his longevity? Hard to say, but it's no secret he was arrested in 1991 after agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration intercepted a Federal Express package sent to his Massachusetts home that contained two ounces of pot.

BURNING BOOKS: DROP CITY

BURNING BOOKS: DROP CITY

T.C. Boyle's brilliant 2003 novel centers around the "beautiful people" and easy living in a Northern California commune where idealism and reality meet face to face amid a pungent haze of pot smoke. Hardcore heads may prefer Boyle's novel Budding Prospects, about an ill-fated outdoor grow operation, but Drop City is the superior story, particularly for anyone who ever wondered what it really must have been like to turn on, tune in, and drop out in the '60s.

THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU'RE STONED

Things To Do When You're Stoned

*Play badminton.

*Rent a movie.

*Make a to-do list.
First on the list: Stop coughing ... okay, seriously, you may not always feel like doing something productive while stoned, but it can actually be a great time to get highly organized.

STONER SONGS: "LEGALIZE IT" (1976)

Once a member of the Wailers alongside Bob Marley, Peter Tosh embarked on a highly political solo career after leaving the band, including this anthemic call to change the marijuana laws:"Legalize it / Don't criticize it / Legalize it, and I will advertise it." Never afraid to voice his opposition to hypocritical governments, both in Jamaica and around the world, Tosh once smoked a spliff on stage during a concert attended by the Prime Minister of Jamaica while demanding the legalization of cannabis.

Thank you High Times.

STAMPING OUT WEED

STAMPING OUT WEED
In 1937, Congress approved the Marijuana Tax Stamp Act, which didn't make marijuana illegal so much as levy taxes on it's sale so high that nobody could afford to legally sell it. Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics Harry Anslinger urged the Act's passage on the grounds that grass caused "murder, insanity, and death."
