Shrooms Make You Happy Long Time

Posted on 01 August 2009 by Joe Dimeck

There’s more to the notion of good vibes and psychedelics than we, as a society, have been led to believe.  A few years ago, John Hopkins University set out to find what exactly psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, did for people.  The findings shocked the leader of the study, Roland Griffiths.

Britons, Tea Leaves, and Prayer Wheels in Darjeeling

Posted on 27 July 2009 by Ian Frisch

The contents of my stomach sloshed back and forth as we ascended the foggy Shiwalik Hills—a section of the Himalayan foothills—into Darjeeling, India, a town of just over 100,000. The roads were ridden with potholes, and sliced back and forth into the hills, forming the pattern a falling leaf would have. At roughly 4,000 feet, [...] Continue Reading

How Weed Is Going To Be Legalized

Posted on 27 July 2009 by Joe Dimeck

You want to know how marijuana is going to get legalized?  It’s going to happen on the state and local level; and we have California and their defiance of federal law to thank for starting the localization movement.  The federal government, which has become nothing more than a finely tuned group of organized criminals, makes [...] Continue Reading

When LSD and Being a Bush Supporter Collide

Posted on 25 July 2009 by Joe Dimeck

Apparently this girl got some bad blotter paper and blasted back AND forward in time, to a place where traditional slavery exists, things are made in China, and there is a “new” West Coast.  Oh, and make sure you watch the expression of the guy behind her.  It doesn’t change for most of the video [...] Continue Reading

U.S. Drug Czar High On Power

Posted on 24 July 2009 by Joe Dimeck

When Gil Kerlikowske was tapped to be the country’s drug czar there was plenty of hope among potheads everywhere.  After all, he was the police chief of Seattle, a pot friendly city that hosts an annual festival, Hemp Fest, which pretty much consists of people just walking around and openly smoking pot.  Rather than order [...] Continue Reading

Posted on 23 July 2009 by Joe Dimeck

Lebron James’ new book, Shooting Stars, written by himself and co-author, Buzz Bissinger, reveals to the public that Lebron did smoke marijuana.  He claims it was done in response to the overwhelming media coverage he was getting in high school, and in part, due to the inflated egos of himself and his teammates.  I guess [...] Continue Reading

How to Be a Classier and Healthier Smoker

Posted on 17 July 2009 by Joe Dimeck

Let’s preface this article with the following bit of information.  The American Heart Association states that cigarette smoking “accounts for more than 440,000 of the more than 2.4 million annual deaths,” in the US.  It has become common knowledge that despite increased pressure on tobacco companies a safe and healthy tobacco cigarette has not been produced, and [...] Continue Reading

A Brief History of Beer & Wine

Posted on 10 April 2009 by Cal Quentin

Humanity loves beer and wine.  It isn’t surprising either.  Not only does it help take the edge off a long, hard day, but it is a social lubricant that helps pull people out of their self-conscious shell.  And sure, the two can sometimes cause some serious problems, but without beer and wine modern life [...] Continue Reading

Ode To The Hangover

Posted on 06 April 2009 by Edward Song

Like Taco Bell and bowel movements, or single-ply and chaffing, when you drink, and drink properly, a part of you not only expects the hangover to follow suit, but wholeheartedly welcomes it into your morning after. Many will rationalize that in order to experience drunkenness in all its glory, we must sacrifice the next day and offer it to the almighty deities of alcohol as penance for the immediate enjoyment to ensue. But this is where we've misconstrued the significance of the glorious hangover. Continue Reading

Research Into the Dangers of Heroin Was a Waste of Money

Posted on 06 April 2009 by McKinley Gaines

I’m really surprised there was ever research done in regards to the dangers of heroin use. They could’ve saved the money. All they really needed to do was ask drug users how they take their drug of choice. Continue Reading
