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: "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.

THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU'RE STONED

Things To Do When You're Stoned

*Floss

*Take a walk.

*Cook dinner.
You may not be hungry at the moment, but you will be in about ten minutes - trust us - and no amount of store bought munchies can satisfy a stoner like a home-cooked meal.

Thank you high times for the words of wisdom.

LET THEM EAT SPACE CAKES

In 1799, Napoleonic soldiers returning from Egypt brought the first hashish to Europe, establishing an eager market that has exsisted ever since, although both Napoleon and Pope inncocent VIII attempted to ban it's use.

Marijuana TO GO

Please follow us on Twitter - MarijuanaToGo

PRESIDENTIAL POT

Thomas Jefferson wrote his original draft of the Declaration of Independence on hemp. And George Washington, America's first president, leader of the revolution that gave birth to our freedoms, and lifelong hemp farmer, advised his young nation: "Make the most of the hemp seed. Sow it everywhere."

STONER SONGS: "REEFER MAN" (1932)

Cab Calloway recorded this tongue-in-cheek tribute to marijuana dealers five years before "the devils lettuce" was made illegal - a time when most Americans still hadn't even heard of marijuana.

"Have you ever met this funny reefer man? / If he trades you dimes for nickels and calls watermelons pickles, then you know you're talkin' to that reefer man."

Thank you High Times.

THE MALL HAS IT ALL

In 2008, officials found marijuana plants growing hydroponically in a storage area of a Miami mall. Drug enforcement agents seized 200 plants ranging from three to six feet tall. The grow room was powered by electricity diverted from the mall's main supply.

Thank you High Times.

GANJA GLOBETREKKING: NIMBIN, AUSTRALIA

This tiny dairy town was nearly deserted in 1973, when a group of radical visionaries from the Australian Union of Students arrived with plans for the first annual Aquarius Festival. After the freak fest ended, a lot of the freaks stayed, transforming Nimbin into a left-wing hippie bastion and something of an autonomous zone when it comes to marijuana. Although the herb remains illegal as in the rest of Australia, local officials tend to turn a blind eye to small amounts of dealing and smoking in the street.

Arrive on the first weekend in May for the "Let It Grow!" Mardi Grass Fiesta and Drug Law Reform Rally, a gathering that draws ten thousand Aussies and others to a multi-day public burndown featuring political rallies, street protests, outdoor concerts, a grower's cup to judge the best local crop, and the infamous HEMP olympics, which combines joint rolling, bong throwing, and feats of strength such as running relay races while lugging giant bags of fertalizer.

Thank you High Times for the words of wisdom.

Patients Popular Strain - Headband

One of the most popular strains, Headband is an Indica dominant hybrid. She’ll give you the type of high that is strong, quick, and lasts a long time.
The nug is a beautiful green shade, frosted with crystals and red strands of hair. It’s dense and glitters, just like the best nugs.
An aroma of sweet, potent skunk smell and the flavor of skunk with a heady aftertaste. If you smoke during the day, make sure it’s in small doses, because it’ll put you in a nap state before you know it! But if taken in the right doses, it’ll leave you in a creative state-of-mind, probably good enough to go trekking outside; you’ll be perky and upbeat, just like a good Sativa strain should do.
For medicinal purposes, Headband is best used for anxiety, stress, and pain. If dosed heavily, insomnia and nausea can be relieved.

Headband

Sativa
Strong THC content
Perky high
Medical uses: anxiety, stress, pain
Skunk taste and flavor

FOR THE BIRDS

Sterilized hemp seed is both perfectly legal and perfectly safe for birds. That, however, did not stop the DEA from seizing a trailer truck full of hemp birdseed in 1999. The DEA claimed the seeds were a Schedule 1 narcotic.

IS SATIVEX THE FUTURE OF MEDICAL MARIJUANA, OR A 'MIST' OPPORUNITY

For the first time in history, a cannabis-derived pharmaceutical has been officially accepted for medical use, and wouldn't you know it - those freewheeling Canadians were the first ones in line. Sativex, an oral spray produced by U.K. based GW Pharmaceuticals, is now available by prescription to Canadian patients suffering from multiple sclerosis, for combating episodes of "neuropathic pain" associated with that degenerative condition. Sativex sounds great so far, but before we run off and light up our victory joints, we have some questions for GW, like why they've trademarked the naturally occurring cannabis compounds in the drug, and whether it will be affordable to medical marijuana patients.

Thank you High Times Magazine.

SKILL OF THE MONTH: DEALING WITH YOUR DEALER

*Don't haggle.
Marijuana is definately a take it or leave it proposition.

*Don't dawdle.
If your dealer wants you to stick around and get high, you'll be invited; otherwise do your business and move along.

*Don't bring a friend
without permission, for obvious reasons.

Skill Of The Month: Rolling

"No two stoners approach rolling joints with exactly the same method, but there are a few basic steps everyone should follow:

Remove all stems and seeds before rolling. Use a hand grinder or scissors on buds, stopping before they get powdery.

Use high-quality rolling papers. Put a fold in the middle and fill the fold with ground-up herb. Roll the paper back and forth over the buds until they form a compacted tube at the bottom of the fold. You may need to rearrange some of the marijuana.

Fold the half of the rolling paper without glue as tightly as possible around the tube of weed and then roll the whole thing up to the top with your thumbs. Stop when you reach the glue.

Lick the glue thoroughly, but don't soak it. Continue rolling until the glue sticks. You may need to use a small stick or a stem to push the buds in from the sides before sparking it up."
