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.

MARIJUANA AT THE MOVIES: WOODSTOCK (1970)

If you were born too late for the Age of Aquarius, this beautiful, sprawling concert film may be the best way to relive the high spirits of the '60s without risking a trip to Vietnam. Inventively spliced together using a series of split screens, Woodstock offers up a sense of psychedelic overload, not to mention a front - row seat for the music festival that defined a generation, including the tokers, the trippers, and the victims of the brown acid. Highlights include musical performances from the biggest(and baked-est) names classic rock, featuring Crosby, Stills and Nash, The Who, Joe Cocker, Jimi Hendrix, Santana, and Sly & the Family Stone performing their latest hit, "I Want To Take You Higher."

Things To Do When You're Stoned -

Uncle Miltie Knows

"There is no logical basis for the prohibition of marijuana," according to Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman (fried man), a leading voice in the promotion of free-market economics, a founding father of the Reagan Revolution, and about as far from a "hippie" as you're likely to find on planet Earth. As Friedman declared shortly before his death at age ninety-four: "It's absolutely disgraceful to think of picking up a twenty-two-year-old for smoking pot. More disgraceful is the denial of marijuana for medical purposes."

Marijuana Messages

"I've often felt telepathic and receptive to inexplicable messages my whole life. I can stave those off when I'm not high. When I'm high-well, they come in and there's less of a veil, so to speak. So if ever I need some clarity, or a quantum leap in my own consciousness, or a quantum leap in terms of writing something or getting an answer, it's a quick way for me to get it."

-Alanis Morissette, (High Times interview, 2009)

SKILL OF THE MONTH: Passing A Drug Test

Not that we support trickery, you need to hear these words of wisdom from High Times for today.

The first thing you need to know about drug tests is that they're total bullshit. And the biggest bullshit of all? The hard stuff (coke, heroin, alcohol) leaves your body in a matter of days, if not hours, while freeloading, couch-surfing marijuana can crash out in your fat cells for a month or more.

But rest assured that just as there's a $6 billion-per-year drug test industry profiting off all this bullshit, there's also a "drug test solutions" industry offering products to help you cheat your way to a brand-new job. Simply find a company you trust and visit their Web site for more information on their products. And don't feel guilty in the least: If someone has the nerve to ask for your urine, they deserve what you hand them. 

Happy Birthday Jerry Garcia

Jerry would have turned sixty-nine today. He died a week after his fifty-third birthday in 1995. Contrary to rumors, he did not die at 4:20, but almost; the official time of death was 4:23pm.

Interesting ... thank you high times.
