Marijuana vs Crystal Meth: The Great Debate (lol)

Cannabis Granny

Old Fictions

Sorry for the lack of posts lately, I have been extremely busy. Here is a short story from the works of the author Jim Parker, found in his pamphlet. Hope your entertained!

The First Stone Age

About a hundred thousand years ago (we're guessing here), a half-frozen cave man named Urg (we're guessing here, too) made a discovery so big that its effects are still being felt all over the world.

Urg was cold, so he tossed a bundle of the plants he'd tugged out of the ground that afternoon onto the fire in his cave. Then, as he and his friends squatted over the fire and warmed themselves (and wished they had a Wii or PlayStation 3 or something to make life less boring), they noticed strange changes creep over them.

Everyone agreed that the shadows on the cave walls were suddenly way weird, dude, and the fire was like, totally hypnotic, gnarly even.

They also noticed that the chief's jokes (which they had all heard a thousand times) were funny again -- or at least everybody laughed and pounded each other on the back and rolled in the dirt.

If Urg and his friends had given it any thought (instead of trying to rig a sound system out of some rocks and old mastodon bones they found in a corner of the cave), they might have noticed other changes come over them, too -- changes in the way they thought and felt and acted, that we're only now beginning to fully understand.

Because (surprise!) the weed that Urg threw on the fire was marijuana and, without knowing it, Urg and his pals had thrown the world's first pot party.

This story isn't true, as far as anybody knows. (After all, prehistory wouldn't be pre-history if anyone left notes.)

On the other hand, it makes as much sense as a lot of other stories that have been passed around about marijuana since the first Urg noticed it growing down by the local watering hole and wondered what it was good for.

That's the point of this pamphlet, and the main reason we put it together.

Because even though Urg didn't find all the answers to that question, the people who came later sure kept asking.

Mornin' Munchies

If you are going to wake and bake this morning, you must go to Waffle House. If you don't have one near you or have never heard of it all, head down to your greasiest hole in the wall 24 hr breakfast place. We all know its not the best quality. We all certainly know its not good for you. Knowing the risks involved, it is the place to munch out on some tasty breakfast treats like a bacon, egg and cheese biscuiy, hashbrowns smothered and covered, and a classic omlette with sausage and toast.

Fun Facts About Marijuana

Both George Washington and Tomas Jefferson grew marijuana on thier plantations.

Its first recorded use for medicinal purposes was 2727B.C.

Hemp was once considered legal tender in the U.S.

Cannabis and hemp are the same thing.

Sterilized hemp seeds can be turned into bird seed.

14.6 million Americans smoke pot on a regular basis.

The U.S. Declaration of Independence was written on hemp paper.

Given an opportunity deer will chew gum and marijuana.

In Oregon you can't buy or sell marijuana, but you can smoke the drug on your own property.

There are three main types of marijuana. Canabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, Cannabis Ruderalis.

The reason marijuana is illegal is because in the 30's cotton growers lobbied against hemp farmers. They thought that the hemp growing would just be competition for them.


It's all true.

Prop 19 Spoof

There is a website called Marijuana Harms Families and their slogan is "Don't Let California Go To Pot."I find this extremely funny. They have a video on the site that states the "dangers" in legalizing marijuana. I think their facts and statistics are pretty dumb and I can argue against all of their information.

What I have found is someone who was as disturbed as I was about this information and he created a video parody that parallels the video. Check out themockingmockingbird.blogspot.com for this guy's genius posts on his blog, besides the great video that he made.

This is the spoof...

Marijuana Growing

Bud Review- Sour Diesel

This is definitely one of my favorites. This bud is 90% sativa and 10% indica. It is great because it is mostly sativa and produces a high that is alert and clear and is great for doing daily things.

When I first opened the jar, it REEKS!! It has this pungent smell that you cannot hide what so ever. I had this bud in a jar, inside two Ziploc bags, inside a cotton bag with a zipper, inside my suitcase, and in the trunk of my car; after all this, it made my whole stink still. I swear to you, I had kept the empty jar after I smoked it all and when I revisited the jar 2 months later it still had the smell of it in there very, very strong.

The texture of the nugs were dense and hard, but still had a fluffy look to it. The color is a nice, vibrant green with a lot of orange hairs and completely loaded with crystals dripping off of it. The bud breaks out into double the amount of weed it looks.

The high is so clear. It makes you want to go out and do things, unlike other tiring highs. It has this crisp feeling to the high that makes it very controllable. I was stoned for a good four hours after smoking this. What is great about it is that it doesn’t give you a burnt out feeling for the rest of the day. It is said that Sour Diesel is a good strain for depression because it will lighten any mood that you may be in.

This is dank bud, I do not give out these ratings easily.
I rate it a 10 out of 10.

Munchie of the Night

I recommend picking up a bag of Spicy Sweet Chili Doritos asap. And a bag of Cheetos.

You won't regret it.

Laziness Lies Within the Person

Marijuana is know to make people lazy and immobile. I have a different theory on this idea.

I feel like marijuana only brings out the true laziness in a person, it does not make a person lazy. This stereotype has been attached to marijuana for a long time. It is true to an extent. Everyone likes to have lazy time if they smoke or not. What if many pot heads like to smoke and be lazy on their free time? That sounds logical to me.

There is such a thing as the functioning pot head. A countless number of people do regular daily activities while they are high. Not every person who smokes marijuana is lazy. Many people enjoy doing anything high, even homework for school.

It all depends on the individuals motivational level. If a person was destined to be lazy then that person will be extra lazy. If a person is motivated and determined then they will enjoy all of their daily activities even more because they are high.

An individual digs their own hole they bury themselves in because of lack of will power and self-restraint. No one is to blame, except the individual, for letting themselves wither away into nothing but a pot head. I am a pot head so I can say this, but I am a functioning pot head and there is a line drawn between the two.

You can't blame the "drug"for certain peoples inability to function as more than just an instinct based creature.

Bud Review- Northern Lights

I was recently smoking some medical Northern Lights and it was dank. It is a cross of sativa and indica.

When I first opened the jar and put my nose up to it to get that first whiff where you dangle it in front of your face, I knew it was legit. it had that strong potent smell with that funky aroma to it. As I lifted my nose, I got that lingering stench that followed the initial smell and it had that funky body odor twang. You know its good stuff when it kinda smells bad but still the best smell ever.

It was dense, hard nugs and just pinching the bud I could tell it was going to break up into more than it appeared. It was perfect bong weed and smoked great in a blunt. The crystals were dripping off of the bud and would stick to my fingers. The sticky level was moderate, but it was perfectly cured and dried so it did not have to be sticky to show its quality.

It burned perfect. Just a small pinch was necessary for a good bong rip and I only needed a few rips to get me zooted. The way the blunt ran was almost too perfect and a small blunt between three people did maximum justice to me. I was definitely chocking on the bong rips and it was the most satisfying cough.

The high was so clean. I feel like it was sativa dominant because of how clear it was. In contrast, it helped my neck pain, as well, because of the indica cross. After taking one hit I already started getting the brain tingling feeling that comes when the high starts elevating quick.

I would rate this bud a 9 out of 10.

Edibles-Special Brownie Recipie

You can eat weed?...What?

Many people prefer to eat marijuana than smoke it. This is a great alternative. Food with marijuana in it will give you a great high. This produces the complete mental and body high.

Medical marijuana dispensaries sell a variety of different edibles and now there are even stores that sell only food with marijuana in it. I have seen and eaten incredible brownies from dispensaries and they are professionally packaged with clever names like "I Can't Believe It's Pot Butter." I have also had lemonade with marijuana in it, cleverly named "Lazy Lemonade," and it kicks in within about ten minutes, unlike brownies that take about an hour until you are completely high. Other foods include cakes, cookies, muffins, lollipops, tea, and the list goes on.

Brownies are my favorite edible, they are classic and always gets the job done. "Special Brownies" can be made with either cannabis oil or cannabis butter. To make the oil or butter is not that difficult and can be done simply in any house, with a few ingredients and kitchen supplies. I like to make the oil, but the butter works equally as well. Many people like to use good weed in brownies, but regs work just as well.


Simple Special Brownie Recipe

First...Making the weed oil or butter. I usually use a half ounce to an ounce of regs.

Oil Instructions:

1. Pour Cannola oil in pot (pick the size of the pot according to how much weed you are using). Use about a quarter of a cup more oil than the recipe calls for because some of the oil will be burned away. 
2. Turn the stove on medium (if your stove gets really hot then medium-low is a better temperature) and let the oil warm up a little. Do not let the oil boil.
3. Take your marijuana, make sure it is ground up fine into tiny pieces, and put it in the pot with the oil.
4. Keep it in the pot for about 45 minutes to an hour (if more than an ounce then keep it on longer accordingly). Stir every ten minutes so the weed does not stick to the bottom of the pot. Do not let the oil boil at all.
5. Remember...slow and steady wins the race. You cannot rush this process.
6. After about 45 minutes when the weed looses most of its color and about to turn black, then you can remove it from the stove and let it cool for a little while.
7. Now you are going to strain the weed pieces from the oil. If you have a good size strainer, this can work but with a spoon press on the weed left in the strainer to squeeze out any remaining oil in the weed. For best results, pour as much of the oil into a bowl without the weed pieces, then put the remainder of the pieces in an old bandana and squeeze it until all of the remaining oil comes out of the bandana. Put aside.

Butter Instructions:

1. You will need two pots of different sizes. Pour some water in the larger pot and put the butter in the smaller pot. Now put the smaller pot inside and on top the larger pot, you are creating a double boiler (if you have double boiler than use set). You are ready to melt the butter now. A good proportion to go by is for 1 ounce of weed to 6-7 sticks of butter.
2. Put the stove on medium-low to medium heat. Melt the butter in the double boiler. Do not let it boil, only a simmer is needed.
3. Add your marijuana to the butter after it is ground up into tiny pieces. 
4. Simmer the mixture for about 25 minutes while stirring every few minutes.
5. Don't forget...slow and steady wins the race.
6. Remove from stove and let the butter cool down. Then strain out the butter into a bowl and make sure to squeeze all of the juice out of it. Now, let it cool to room temperature.
7. Once the butter is room temperature put it in the fridge for a few hours to coagulate.

The next step is to buy your favorite instant brownie mix and follow the instructions on the back. Check if your brownie mix calls for oil or butter because its usually one or the other. Substitute your weed oil or butter for the the oil or butter the recipie calls for, and pour in all your oil or butter. 

Just follow the back of your brownie box for the rest...bake...and ENJOY!

The Perfect Resin Hit

Are you out of weed? I know it sucks but there are ways around this dilemma.

If you are out of some nug and still want to get high, this is the perfect way to take some resin hits out of your glass pipe.

You know how there is a carb on the side that you cover with your thumb to let air in when you hit the piece? What you are going to do is make the carb the new bowl. Cover the actual bowl, where you pack the weed, with your hand so no air can escape. Then, with a lighter, light the carb as if you are hitting the bowl with your hand over the bowl acting as the new carb.

You are burning the resin inside the pipe and you will get some good rips if it is caked with enough resin. No more pulling the crackhead move and breaking you bowl into pieces just to smoke the resin.

Here's another good trick if you have a bong with an ash catcher. Just take your hitter piece out of the ash catcher and light the ash catcher's hole on fire while you rip your tube.

Yea it tastes gross, but you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.

Cover the bowl with your hand and light through the
carb (small blue hole on side of bowl).

What's Your Favorite

What's your favorite smoking method?

Pipe

Bong

Blunt

Joint

Gravity Bong (home made or store bought)

Vaporizer

Be specific! My favorite is a glass bong...Jerome Baker, Roor, or Illadelph.

Gravity in the Garbage

This is a popular way to make a home made gravity bong using a trash can. Gravity bongs produce great results with huge hits. This is very popular to do with a group of friends.


A few materials you are going to need are: A Trash Can (or large bucket) ,two-liter plastic soda bottle or water bottle, water, scissors and a bowl head froma metal pipe.

1.  Using scissors, cut off the bottom of the bottle.
2. Poke a hole in the lid or cap so that the bowl head can be screwed in. Make sure that the bowl fits tightly. Chewing gum is a good way to seal the holes around the bowl. Bowls can be made with a variety of creative things.
3. Thread the bowl into the cap and place the cap back on the bottle.
4. Put the bottle in a bucket (tub, trash can, ect.) of water. Hold a lighter to the bowl and pull up on the bottle to draw the smoke in.
5. Remove your cap and place your lips over the opening. Push the bottle back into the water while inhaling.

Tips on how to hit the bong effectively: Pull the smoke in slow at first and the back end of the hit is when you are going to pull in fast and deep.

I have made a gravity bong using a 5 gallon water cooler bottle and my pool instead of a trash can. It is impressive and the hits are massive!

Piece Choice Completes The Puzzle

A daily marijuana smoker knows it is crucial to smoke out of the right bong, pipe, or wrap. There are a variety of different methods that people desire to get high. Each way is unique to the person and they know what way will produce the best high for them.

Here are a variety of different ways that achieves a good high.

• Joint- more of a relaxing high is produce. Joint rolling is an art to people with many different styles. These styles come from cultures all around the world.
• Blunt/wrap- relaxing high, especially if there is a tobacco leaf around it. Blunting rolling is a personal experience with the weed. People like to roll their blunts to perfection, down to the way they want the mouth piece shaped for the right hit.
• One-hitter- great for on-the-go smoking. You can actually get a good 3 or 4 hits out of the bowl depending on the size. The cigarette looking one-hitter is the best for on-the-go smoking and looks like a real cigarette...don't get the glass one it breaks easy, metal is the way to go.
• Glass pipe- relaxing high. Personally glass if my way to go, even though I love a good blunt. Conserves more weed because you decide how much you want to pack in the bowl of the pipe. Commonly called a "piece" or a "bowl."
• Wood pipe- will produce desired effect, but not as good quality as glass.
• Metal Pipe- produces a high but not as good as glass. The metal gets really hot. Just leave the metal to crack smoking only.
• Glass bong- best quality high, in my opinion. A good quality glass bong will get you high in very little hits, conserves marijuana, and produces a great high. The thicker the glass, the better.
• Acrylic bongs- still an effective bong, but not as good as glass. It is hard plastic so it doesn't produce the best high.
• Steam roller- this is a tube with a bowl attached and your hand covers on side and acts as the carb. If it is good quality then it is really effective. 
• Gravity bong- big rips and will get you really high. Store bought gravity bongs work great. There are a variety of different ways to make a home made GB. Most popular party piece
• Vaporizer- great for the health conscious smoker. It is better on your lungs. Produces a very clear high.
• Fruit- great for convenience. Not as good for quality. Variety of different fruit can be made into pipes, for example the classic apple pipe.

The ways to get high are endless! Its up to you to decide.

The Classic Marijuana

Everyone likes to smoke a little reefer....What are you smoking?


Active Ingredient: THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol)

Common Street Names: Weed, Green, Reefer, Herb, Crip, Fire

MEDICAL

This type of weed includes medical grade weed, typically sold in dispensaries where medicinal marijuana is sold. This weed produces the best high. Medicinal marijuana can be obtained other ways. This weed is the most potent and desired by pretty much all marijuana smokers. The look of it is visibly good quality in nug form with many crystals, hairs, and a good color and sometimes a variety of colors like  purple and orange. It can be a really fluffy to extremely dense and range in stickyness. This type of weed tends to have a strong smell. The high it produces is so clear and crisp compared to lower quality marijuana. 

Medical marijuana is the type where names are associated with the name. For example Purple Haze, White Rhino, Northern Lights, G-13, Sour Diesel, Jack Herrer, Super Silver Haze, Cheese, Cat Piss, ect. This list can go one for a long time. These strains are also a different type of plant and can produce a different feeling. The two types of plants are Indica and Sativa. The Sativa buds can produce more of an energetic and awake high, more popular for smoking throughout the day. Indica plants produce a high to sleep better or more targeted for pain, with other uses. Medical grade can be grown with a hydroponics system that grows the plant through water, producing a higher quality often referred to as "dro."

Purple Kush
(Cross strain between Purple Haze and O.G.Kush)

Northern Lights

People obtain medical marijuana licenses to purchase marijuana in designate stores in states that it is legal. To obtain these cards a person must go to a doctor to authorize this license. 

CRIP

If you live in a state that weed is completely illegal, like myself, then you are used to your standard crip you buy for 25-50 or 30-60 if you are getting ripped off. This weed is good, but definitely doesn't compare to marijuana on the medical level. The high produced is a good high, but sometimes attached with a burn feeling on the comedown. The look is still good quality with some crystals and hairs with a nice, pleasing smell. Do not get me wrong, I definitely would want some good crip, but not over the medical grade. The quality of crip is in between medical marijuana and the regs,

REGS

This is the low grade which is very inexpensive to the others. This is the lowest in quality noted by the high it produces. Many people say it gives them headaches or it is less pleasurable.It is noticeably lower quality weed and can range in color from green to black. It also tends to be shipped more in bricks in large quantities and because it is compressed it may look flat when purchased to smoke. When buying regs, you get a lot for the price. Regs are most likely rolled in blunts and joints to smoke a larger amount because of the lack of potency. Regs are commonly referred to as "reggie," "Reggie Miller," or just known as the "bad stuff."
If I ever smoke regs it is only before bed because I am guaranteed to eat a lot and fall asleep fast. 


KEEF
This is the crystals from potent marijuana. It looks like a powder. Crystals fall off the bud and can be collected in a keef box, which has a screen that the crystals fall into. Also, many grinders have keef catchers, which catches the fallen keef from the bud after it has been ground up and collects the keef in the bottom part of the grinder. This is a great investment because you can smoke the keef after it builds up. Keef produces the best high. Pretty much, you are smoking only THC crystals, which produces the best, cleanest high. A nickname is "Keef Richards."
