420 Simplified!

Every cultured stoner knows that 4:20 is that time of the day (am/pm) to light a joint. Likewise, we know April 20 (or 4/20) is World Weed Day, a holiday celebrating cannabis, marijuana, weed, pot, kush, whatever you like to call it. A  day cherished by cannabis  enthusiasts  around the world as a reason to toke up with friends and buddies. But, only few know why and how the number became linked to smoking cannabis. ORIGIN OF 420 There are many speculations to how the term “420” came to be and be as widely accepted. Some say that 420 was the California police or penal code for marijuana, but well, there’s no evidence to support those claims. Some also say 4/20 is Adolf Hitler’s birthday. Another theory is that there are 420 active chemicals in marijuana, hence an obvious connection between the drug and the number. But that’s not quite true either, with nearly 500 such components in marijuana. The earliest written link between marijuana and 420 can be traced to the 1939 short story  “In

Read, review and rate. By Y1nka These days I question my enjoyment of the spliff falling off a cliff cos of something I thought uplifts But a day without rolling up still feels amiss Like removing a hand from a clock, not allowing me to tick More focused than ever to get my dreams to click An internal mentality shift did the trick Now I shoot with confidence when I flick my wrist Or when I use leg wire ball like say I wan break keeper wrist But now I struggle with my excessive cravings for lust Wanting two women with wide hips to give me consent to thrust To burst and handle backsides aggressively To have my head squeezed by thighs like I’m an enemy But it doesn’t remove the pain of losses of yester year Or having my

DETOX Pt 1 - Introduction

Many a times stoners ask me how they can detoxify, get rid of cannabis substances from their body system, especially when they have to take a drug test. First thing I tell them is that, there are no medical treatments or drugs that are 100percent dependable for detox but there are many detox programs and routines that can be undergone to cleanse your body of toxic substances. This is why I am writing this piece, to educate us on what, why and how of detoxification. First of all, detoxification is "a process or period of time i n which one abstains from or rids the body of toxic or unhealthy substances." This is basically cleansing your body system from toxins that can lead to health problems now or in the future. WHY DETOX? There are various reasons why people embark on the detox journey, mostly personal but for the sake of this piece, I will state just 3 reasons why every stoner must inculcate the habit of detoxifying every now and then. 1. The best way to reset your life is

Why Does Weed Make Your Eyes Red?

I'm sure you've always wondered why the red eyes or bloodshot in your eyes after your smoking session. I bet you've Google searched it once, “can smoking weed damage your eyes?”  or you've asked yourself : "Is it the smoke? Is it the weed? I need an explanation."  Here it is: Firstly, regular cannabis users can tell new users that there are no serious health risks associated with your sudden red-eyed circumstance. You're probably not experiencing an eye irritation or allergic reaction or some bigger complication. Yeah some might poke fun or tease you for your so-called “weed eyes” in public, but otherwise, it's a completely natural occurrence that transpires after smoking cannabis. In fact, your eyes turning red has nothing to do with the act of smoking at all. Secondly, after consuming a cannabis-based product (flower, concentrate, edible, etc.), users generally experience an increase in heart rate and blood pressure. This effect is due to one of the

Choosing Your Strains

Most times as smokers, we tend not to mind what kind of kush we get and the effect it has on us, as long as we get the High, but sometimes tailoring your strain to suit your mood, need or desire can give you the best result. We have a lot of strains but for the sake of time, I’d be dwelling on 10 different strains. Join me as we cruise along, and more importantly, make sure you’re smoking a blunt. 1. Acapulco Gold: Like the name implies, this strain originated from Acapulco, Mexico. This strain induces euphoria, has an energizing effect, reduces stress, fatigue, pain and nausea. If you’re the busy type, this is the strain for you after work. 2. Purple Haze: This strain gives you a giggly feeling (for someone like me who hardly laughs), relieves pain and muscle spasms too. It’s also known to induce a state of bliss and most times used to reduce insomnia. 3. Sour Diesel: This strain has a highly energizing effect. If you have work to do and feeling lazy to, this is the strain for you.

Safety Tips for Cannabis users

Marijuana has a reputation for being a harmless drug, but this is inaccurate. Many problems can occur as a result of this drug, including, 1. legal problems 2. accidents happening while under the influence of marijuana, 3. problems with mental functioning, and 4. physical health problems. Following these harm reduction tips for MJ users will help to reduce the potential harm of your marijuana use, but it will not necessarily prevent problems from occurring if you choose to partake in this or any type of drug use. 1. Don’t Take Risks With the Law!  Cannot be overemphasized.  Legal problems are often a negative consequence of marijuana use, and it really isn’t worth the risk. If you are using marijuana for recreational purpose, purchase it in small quantities and keep it for your own personal use. If you buy in larger amounts to save money, and particularly if you are passing it on to others, you could be breaking the more serious trafficking drug laws rather than simply possessing it fo

"ABC OF WEEDTIONARY" BY ZIGGY

ABC OF WEEDTIONARY These are words or phrases that are used only among cannabis users. Most of them you might not find in a dictionary cos they're informal, slangs, inappropriate, coined from the streets or worse, illegal. But they are words that I believe stoners should be familiar with and use more often among themselves to stay connected to the weed culture, or something like that. A Auto (n)  - A device consisting of an aquarium pump and an oxygen mask used to smoke cannabis. E.g: I just copped this dope ass auto from a store last night. It fucking hits different. Aristocrat (n) - A special type of joint typically rolled by self-absorbed college kids that is used to display their superior social status and awesome joint-rolling skills, usually extremely long about 16 inches and very narrow. Conical features should be avoided E.g: That rich kid rolled an aristocrat. joint was long and thin as fuck. B B K Double (n)  - The parents, cops, or
