Best Situations to Vape
Vaping has become the most versatile way to get baked. Cumbersome, smelly pipes and lighters have taken a backseat to the easy portability and electronically charged convenience of the vaporizer. What was once reserved for the most limited of conditions has made its way into our daily lives. No longer must we smoke in parking lots before entering facilities, or wait until we are home to get baked. With the breakthrough of vaporizers, there are no barriers determining where you can get high.

Pot Jello Shots Recipe
When you neither want to smoke, vape, nor eat your pot, why not shoot it down in a jello shot? Jello shooters, or jello shots, are the number one pre-game drink for any party. Take a shot for extra courage, confidence, or even fun. They are sure to make any night one you don't want to forget, or possibly have trouble remembering. Although I'm not quite sure who created the jello shot, I'm glad they did! Candy and alcohol, what could be better?

Is the War on Drugs Racist?
Legalization of marijuana first found itself as a part of the battle against racism. It should be no surprise that many of America's archaic drug laws have a common root in racism. Today's new generation of drug users are trapped in a sea of drug laws and enforcement bureaucracies which were designed not for medical, religious, or moral reasons, but to harass and persecute America's racial minorities—Asian, Latino and African Americans. Ironically, the oldest of the racist drug practices is tied, not to stopping drug use, but to promoting it.

How to Manipulate Marijuana
Money doesn’t grow on trees, but luckily marijuana does. The simple idea of picking your own nugs has forced every true weed aficionado to dream of tending his own ganja garden. Like having a chicken coop in your backyard with fresh eggs every morning, there’s nothing like waking up to the smell of newly-picked OG Kush. The main problem holding potential growers back, besides the legal issues, however, is the complex growing process. One cannot simply toss a couple of seeds in the ground and wake up to a fully-grown marijuana plant the next day. This isn’t the world of “Jack and the Giant Beanstalk,” although some pot smoking might explain Jack’s supposed adventure into the clouds. Therefore, a fully-grown weed plant will take some serious time and care before it starts producing the herbs of the Gods.

My Enemy, My Brother
The Rasta had just finished rolling up a bundle full of spliffs when he heard the sound of horses approaching. It was surely the drug-enforcement agents he had sold his last load of ganja to. They had probably discovered that the sacks the ganja was sorted in had sprung leaks, and all the ganja had fallen out. Many brethren along the way scooped up the herb as it poured out of the defective bags, and the agents were now stuck with no evidence and no money. The Rasta did not run, but confronted them with dignity.

Drug Dealers Anonymous
If you do drugs, then probability is you’ve met at least one drug dealer in the course of your life style. In every town, in every city, in every empty rural region, somebody is slinging something. Of course, these people are demonized by the media, often portrayed as faceless poisoners of the young. In my own experience, they can actually be quite normal, if there really is such a thing, but they aren't that different from you and me. Everyone has a story. Dealers come from all walks of life, lured by the siren call of the hustle.

Weed in Rastafarianism
Any true Rastafarian will tell you that it is absolutely necessary to meditate every time you smoke the herb. They always wish the herb to be used respectfully, in keeping with its inherent ability to spiritualize the state of mind. Violent or negative tendencies are exorcized by the conscious, careful smoking of the herb. A gentle overview is the aim of the smoker—cooling out.
