Classic Sci-Fi TV Series for Sci-High Bingeing
Philo Fransworth didn’t know it at the time, but the years he spent avoiding electric shock have been very, very good to science fiction. Farnsworth--who came up with the rough idea of broadcast television technology when he was an appropriately gee-Whiz child of 14--died in 1971, largely uncompensated for inventing the medium that's simultaneously melted brains (hello, reality TV) and fueled them with creative fervor. Steven Spielberg's family bought a set in 1949; he credits it as being the single greatest artistic influence of his youth. A mandatory appointment in his household was Captain Video, a crude sci-fi series that may as well have used wadded-up paper for moon rocks.

Author Believes Marijuana Legalization Should Proceed Carefully
Marijuana legalization can engender an image of the drug’s laid back disciples who will tend their little plots around daily smokes circles, while lamenting the loss of the counterculture. Then waiting to exhale just after 4:20 p.m. every day, plenty of time shall be left to bag their haul to a local retailer who’s eager to dispense peace and contentment, as both remember to stick it to the man for old time’s sake. That is just one of the marijuana myths author Kevin Sabet was trying to dispel for students, staff and law enforcement this Thursday at Fox Lane High School as the nation seems poised to enact a retail sale legalization of marijuana.

Best Stoner Reggae Songs
When it comes to stoners, one stereotype is that they love reggae. Perhaps that's just because there is nothing better to listen to while high than a good reggae song. The rhythm is enough to pull you into another world filled with beautiful songs—yet all of them are familiar sounding enough to sometimes trick outsiders into thinking they're all cut from the same cloth. All fairly similar.

Healthiest Ways to Smoke Weed
I love weed. Smoking a delicious blunt of Cannabis Cup ganja is my idea of a great beginning to a night out. I love the sweet taste it gives, the sudden onset of mellow vibes, and the many, many nights at Taco Bell all those joints have sparked.
