Necessities For A Traveling Stoner
Is it hard for you to stay in one place for long? Does your will belong to the whim of the wind? If so, you better stock up before heading out with these necessities for the traveling stoner! A Small Pipe Or One-Hitter An obvious necessity for any trip, a tool for toking that you love will a lifesaver. Grab yourself an awesome Digger One-Hitter or a colorful bat that shows off your style, whatever it is, just make sure it's durable and easy to load and clean! Rolling Papers In the event your favorite travel piece is dirty, misplaced, or God forbid, broken, it's always good to have a backup plan. Papers are the best backup plan you could ask for since they're light, thin, and everybody loves joints! Rolling Tray/Pouch Rolling papers are only as good as your ability to roll. For those who aren't very skilled at rolling on the go, it might be a good idea to carry a rolling kit or tray with you as well! Sturdy Stash Bags Or Tin Another important part of your travel-case is to make sure you're able to remain discrete, so that means being able to keep your stuff out of sight and impossible to smell. Eye Drops Of course, there are some places more green-friendly than others, so be ready to adapt with some smell-good and eye drops to cover up the possible dankness coming off your stuff. A Traveling Case To Carry It All Finally, you need to find a carrying bag that you absolutely love. I'm the type of person who likes to keep all my valuables on me, so having a comfortable backpack or messenger back is incredibly important. However, I also advise caution from simply walking around in public with your stash bag, so maybe consider a bag that is small enough to fit inside another bag.

Why Being A Stoner In Your 30s Is Super Dope
I’ve been smoking weed for almost 16 years now, after starting in my early teens. I’ve experienced the fun of being a stoner at every stage of my youth, and I can tell you that as you get older, being a stoner only gets better and better. Being a stoner at any age is awesome, but being a stoner in your 30s is super dope. You’ve Got Your Life In Order Unlike when you are in your late teens and twenties, by the time you hit your thirties you’ve got things more or less figured out (unless you’re some kind of super over achiever, which I was definitely not when I was in my early twenties). You’re hopefully done with college and you have a steady job. You’re hardcore partying days are mostly behind you. My point is that people are not going to be bothering you so much about your herb habit, especially if you’re already moderately successful. You’re Better At Budgeting I don’t know about you, but I was terrible with budgeting money when I was in my early twenties. I used to spend around $300 a week on weed, which naturally left me with no money for anything else, with the exception of rent (and more weed). Now, I still suck at budgeting, but I’m waaay better than I was a decade ago. I know now to budget for other things like food and my power bill first, then I’m allowed to treat myself. You Know How To Conserve When I was in my late teens and early twenties, conservation and cannabis didn’t even belong in the same sentence. My motto was “smoke if you got it." As far as I was concerned I could always just buy more. This was how I came to spend 300 a week on pot. Now, I’ve learned how to conserve my stash, and I know that just because I have it doesn’t mean I have to smoke it. Cutting out the hourly bong bowls to myself really went a long way when it came to learning how to conserve my herb. Your Brain Is Done Developing Your brain is done developing at the age of twenty five, which means that potential side effects such as short term memory loss are less likely to be a problem for stoners over 25. I actually have noticed a difference in the way being stoned feels now, versus ten or even only five years ago. Indicas make me feel less socially awkward than they did then; sativas make me feel more energetic, to the point where smoking is closer to resembling a stimulant to me. Cannabis Makes Aging Easier As much as I am loathe to admit it, I can feel myself getting older. My back hurts more than it used to, my bones are starting to creak, and I’m also more short tempered than I used to be. As you well know, cannabis is an amazing plant with tons of health benefits. Naturally smoking herb makes getting older a hell of a lot better than not smoking herb. My back pain vanishes instantly after smoking a fat indica bowl, and it makes me feel like less of a curmudgeon too.

Being A Stoner Isn't Just A Hobby, It's A Lifestyle
As a stoner, you probably take some flak. Not to say that people generally dislike stoners, but there are still negative stigmas that surround the cannabis culture. I think that this all starts when people assume that being a stoner is simply a hobby, something lazy kids do when they're bored. The truth is there's a lot more to the cannabis community beneath the surface like an entire economy, a medicinal field, an entire culture that is open to everyone! 1. Cannabis Is Used All Over The World For Recreational And Medical Benefits It's not as if just the folks in Colorado and Washington are the ones smoking cannabis, people enjoy the magical plant all around the world, regardless of its current legal standing. People have been fighting for their rights for years to utilize cannabis not only as a recreational means to blow off some steam, but as a life-saving medicine for a variety of different medical conditions. Although there are only a few states right now enjoying the limelight of legalized cannabis, this movement is worldwide with millions of supporters, and partakers. 2. Hobbies Don't Tend To Get WorldWide Political Movements Let's be honest, how many "hobbies" do you see get political movements these days? None? Thought so. People don't stand and fight for the rights of things they don't believe in, and cannabis is no different. If we even look back to prohibition in early 20th century America we see an example of how people refused to give up their booze regardless of the government's rules. Although cannabis and alcohol are very different, the fact remains the same that enough people feel passionate about the benefits of cannabis, recreationally and medically, to stand up and speak in support despite the current political climate. 3. It Doesn't Just Get You High, It's Medicine, Too From anxiety relief to helping chronic pain, sleep aid to epilepsy treatment, cannabis isn't just something that gets users high. With every passing day the world is growing more confident in the medical uses of cannabis, and every study that is released continues to tell us what we already know: cannabis can help patients with next to no risks, especially when compared to other prescription drugs utilized today. 4. The Global Cannabis Economy Is Growing Daily Cannabis legalization efforts are succeeding worldwide, and thus increase the amount of legal money being circulated in relation to cannabis. While state governments have made a fortune on taxing legal weed, there are multitudes of other benefits cannabis has to the economy. With every state that legalizes cannabis we see a great influx of need for new jobs to fill this market. From budtenders to growers, strain reviewers to edible chefs, cannabis is diversifying and expanding the small business economy to create a new stream of employment and income for stoners everywhere! 5. Cannabis Brings People Together After fighting for our ability to enjoy cannabis for a multitude of years, stoners all around the world can comfortably say that they feel like they're a part of something bigger, and they are. Regardless of your personal beliefs, it's impossible to deny the fact that the history of cannabis has led to a worldwide movement of people connected via a single plant. Whether cannabis is a medicine to you, it's your job, or it's just a way to unwind after a long day, there are millions of people all over the world that stand with you in support.

6 Habits Of The High Functioning Stoner
As a cannabis enthusiast, you may have been told that you need to quit smoking weed in order to get anywhere in life. This is complete bullshit. So, how does one go about being a high functioning stoner? A lot of it is being responsible and using common sense; you know, being an adult. Learn How Not To Overdo It Perhaps the most important thing to remember if you want to be a high functioning stoner, is to be mindful of your limits. If you are constantly smoking way more weed than you need to, then you’re going to be spending a lot more time on the couch trying to “sleep it off”. You can absolutely still smoke up everyday, you just have to learn the fine art of moderation. Smoke The Right Strains Along with moderation, you also have to learn when to smoke different strains. When I say that I mean, don’t smoke an indica before you have to go to work or go take a test. If you need a good night’s sleep, don’t smoke a sativa; this will keep you up all night. When you need to do something that requires creativity, then smoke a sativa. I find that when I need to write a paper for school, there’s nothing better for inspiration like a good Sour Diesel. Buy More At Once Unless you live somewhere where you have the option to go to the dispensary, picking up can be quite the time consuming hassle. When you have to focus your time and energy on picking up, obviously it takes time away from doing more productive things. This is why you should buy bigger amounts like quarters or half o’s. This will also save you money. If you’re thinking that this will cause you to smoke more, refer back to the first thing I said about moderation. Stay Active There’s nothing wrong with chilling after smoking up, but this becomes an issue when you do it all the time. Make an effort to go out and do something after toking, whether this is going for a walk, playing guitar, or finally doing those dishes that have been piling up in your sink for a week. Choose Your Friends Wisely Make sure that the people that you choose to spend your time with are people that aren’t holding you back. There’s nothing wrong with hanging out with your buddy who only wants to play Fallout 4 after smoking, but of you hang out with him all of the time, then you will begin to emulate his lifestyle. Surround yourself with chill people, but make sure that they are also motivated and have goals. Smoke At The Right Times I know, every time is the right time to smoke, haha. Seriously though, there are times when it is perhaps better to be sober. Don’t smoke up before you go take a test, or go meet your girlfriend’s parents. It’s okay to smoke before work, if you have a job that you can do stoned, just don’t go to the job interview baked out of your mind. Also, don’t smoke before going to court. It’s really easy to become a high functioning stoner once you get the hang of it. It’s certainly easier than being a functioning alcoholic. Don’t use cannabis as a crutch, use it as a reward. It’s really all about using common sense. Featured Image Source: TheOdysseyOnline.com --- Do you have tips for being a high functioning stoner? Share in the comments!
World's Ten Most Successful Stoners
People have probably told you that smoking weed will cause you to amount to nothing. This is definitely not true because some of the most successful people of the twentieth and twenty first century were or currently are cannabis users. When someone tells you that cannabis will ruin your chances for success, show them this list. Steve Jobs The founder of Apple and the reason that we all have smart phones, smoked a lot of herb fairly regularly. He said that he liked the way it enhanced his creativity and helped him relax. Carl Sagan World renowned cosmologist and physicist Carl Sagan taught us a lot about the universe in which we live. He was also a big believer in bud. He wrote a paper in the late sixties touting his experiences with herb under the pseudonym Mr X. After his death it was revealed that he wrote the paper. Michael Phelps American Olympic athlete Michael Phelps has won a total of 28 medals, 23 of them being gold medals, making him the most decorated Olympic athlete to date. He is also well known for his love of cannabis, which was discovered when a picture of him using a bong surfaced on social media. Snoop Dogg Snoop Dogg, who is quite possibly the most famous rap artist of all time, is especially famous for his love of the dank. In an AMA on Reddit he claimed to smoke 81 blunts a day! Stephen King The most successful and popular horror novelist of all time is also a huge advocate for the legalization of cannabis. He once said that he not only believed that cannabis should be legal, but that it should be a “cottage industry.” Woody Harrelson Academy award nominated actor Woody Harrelson is not only a great actor, he is also well known for his enthusiasm for cannabis. He not only enjoys using herb, he’s also a powerful activist for the legalization movement and has been for a long time. He’s been a member of NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) since 2003. Richard Branson Billionaire founder of Virgin Group Richard Branson is also a big fan of smoking weed. He is also a member of the Global Drug Commission, whose mission is to reform international drug laws. He also claims that Keith Richards taught him how to roll his first joint. Barack Obama American president Barack Obama was not only the first black president, he was also a pothead in college. He was quoted as saying that he inhaled frequently because “that was the point”, perhaps as a response to former president Clinton’s claim that he smoked weed, but didn’t inhale. Arnold Schwarzenegger Yes, the Terminator smoked weed. In his documentary (italics) Pumping Iron (end italics) the actor and former bodybuilder can be seen clearly smoking a joint. He went on to star in multiple action movies throughout the eighties and nineties, and then he was elected the governor of California in 2003. The Governator was quoted as saying that cannabis was not a drug, “it’s a leaf.” Bill Gates The billionaire founder of Microsoft smoked a lot of weed in college. Then he went on to found the most successful software company of all time. He also worked tirelessly to get cannabis legalized in his home state of Washington. We all know how successful that was. The next time someone tells you that your love of cannabis is holding you back from being successful, be sure to tell them that some of the most successful people in recent history have all been stoners at one point and time. Even the current US president smoked a lot of weed in college. So keep doing what you’re doing and use cannabis to achieve your goals? Who knows, you could be the next Steve Jobs.

11 Ways To Spot A Fellow Stoner
Stoners are pretty good at spotting fellow ganja gurus. We have a stoner radar similar to gaydar. Once we find each other we usually stick together. So how do you spot a fellow stoner? Resin On The Lighter Next time you borrow a lighter from someone, check the bottom. If they smoke there will be black resin stains all over the bottom from tapping bowls. Even if they’ve cleaned the resin off, the plastic will still be burnt in a pretty obvious fashion. Also if their lighter has had the safety removed then there is a probably a 100% probability that they are a stoner. Cannabis Friendly Clothing Not all stoners wear t-shirts with giant pot leaves on them nor do we all wear hemp clothing. If you meet someone and they are wearing a shirt from a headshop, or a hat with a pot leaf on it, they are most likely a lover of herb. Always Has A Lighter On Them A pretty obvious tell is someone who always has a lighter on them, though they don’t smoke cigarettes. Why else would they have a lighter on them? This stoner is ready for action! Always Has Eye Drops Sure eye drops are used for other things, especially for people that have contacts, but a lot of stoners carry eye drops on them. If you get into their car and it’s full of empty bottles of Visine, then they are definitely a stoner. The Way They Hold Their Cigarette You can spot a fellow cannabis enthusiast by how they hold their cigarette. If when they go to take a drag they hold it between their thumb and index finger, then they are most assuredly a stoner. The only people who hold cigarettes like that are people who smoke a lot of joints. Also, if someone prefers to take short puffs as opposed to long drags, this is a dead giveaway. You Ask Them If They Smoke And They Say “Smoke What?” When you meet someone at a party and you want to find out if they smoke weed, ask them if they smoke. If they answer with the question, “smoke what?” then you’ve got your answer. What else would they be referring to. They could be talking about smoking meat on the grill, but that’s probably not the case. They Speak Slowly With A Drawl I’ve been told for most of my life that I speak with a slight California surfer drawl, basically I sound like a stoner. I’ve noticed that a lot of stoners speak with the same sort of drawl, especially when they’re baked (so pretty much all the time). I’ve had people come up to me at parties and tell me that they could tell that I smoked, just from the way I was speaking. Then we’d smoke a bowl. If They Have Dreads And They’re White I have yet to meet a white guy with dreads who was not a stoner. Stoners are pretty low maintenance people because life’s too short to be uptight all the time. The only hairstyle that is more low maintenance than dreadlocks is a buzz cut. Singed Hair If you’re around someone who always has the ends of their hair burnt off, then that means that they often hold a lighter close to their face, as one would smoking a bowl. One time someone told me that they knew that I was a stoner because my eyebrows were singed. “Dank” Is A Large Part Of Their Vocabulary If you meet someone and they constantly refer to everything as “dank," then they are most definitely a stoner. They’re probably a stoner if they also say “dope," “chronic," or really any stoner terminology. Stoners are pretty good at identifying other stoners. Once you’ve been doing it for a while then you can spot the signs. The good thing is that most of these signs are only obvious to other stoners, so you don’t need to worry about randos coming up to you on the street, that is unless you’re wearing a shirt with a giant pot leaf on it.. Not everyone is as observant as the guy who pointed out my singed eyebrows. Featured Image Source: SquareSpace.com --- How do you spot a fellow stoner? Share in the comments!

Offer her the half with the ring Find A Nug Shaped Like A Heart And Put It Next To Her Favorite Pipe If you can’t find a nug shaped like a heart, put two nugs together to make a heart shape, then load it in her pipe. Give Her A Pipe That Says “Bride” On It And Offer Her Greens If you can find a set that says “bride” on one and “groom” on the other, even better. Blow A Smoke Ring Around Her Finger This one will take a bit of time to perfect, but she’ll love the effort that you put into it. After you blow the smoke ring, then present her with the real ring. Buy A Wedding Cake Topper And Put A Nug Of Weed Between The Couple Ask her if she wants to smoke a bowl, then give it to her when she asks where the weed is Spell Out “Marry Me?” With Joints Roll a bunch of pinner joints and spell out the question. When she says yes, smoke them in celebration. Hide The Ring In Your Grinder Hide the ring in the kief catcher of your grinder, hand it to her and ask her to top off the bowl. Put The Ring Around The Chillum Take it on a hike to your favorite outdoor smoking spot, get down on one knee and offer her the chillum. Ask Her If She’ll Be The Weed To Your Pipe Before smoking a bowl with her ask her if she’ll be the weed to your pipe, then give her the ring. Buy Matching Pot Leaf Jewelry And Give Her The Other Half If you don’t have a ring yet, she’ll appreciate the adorableness of matching jewelry. Hide The Ring In The Kief Box Hide the ring in your kief box and ask her to look inside for a nice surprise. Buy A White Ashtray And Paint The Question On It Fill the ashtray with ground herb and then ask her to roll a joint. Put A Dank Bud In A Ring Box Put a nug of the dankest bud you can find and put it in the empty slot where the ring should go. Get down on one knee and present her with the dank box. Buy A Box Of Chocolates Replace the chocolates With nugs and hide the ring under one of them. Eat the chocolates together when you both have the munchies. Write The Question On A Bag Of Herb Hand the bag to her and ask her to load a bowl. Ask Her If She’ll Be Your Green Hit For The Rest Of Your Lives Then give her the ring and then smoke a bowl with your new fiancee. Make A Heart With Some Freshly Rolled Joints Put the ring in the center of the heart under a joint paper or blunt wrap with the question written on it, and then smoke the joints. Buy Her A Rose Hide the ring and a nug in the rose. Put the ring on her finger and then smoke the nug. Save Up All Your Stems Save your stems for a couple months and then spell out the question using the stems. Hey, you finally found a good use for stems! Load A Bowl With The Ring On Top Load a bowl like you normally would, start to hand it to tell her, then tell her it’s missing something. Take the ring and put it on top of the bowl. Offer her greens. Tell her that you love her like you love your first bong hit of the day. If she’s truly the stoner girl of your dreams, she’ll say yes to any one of these “pot”posals.

Why You Should Smoke Weed In College
Many of us started college this week. Some of you are starting your freshman year and it’s your first time being out on your own. You’re probably going to be offered a chance to smoke some weed. If you’ve already been smoking, you might be considering stopping while you’re in school. I did for half a semester. There are reasons why you should smoke weed in college. It Helps You Deal With Stress College is super stressful. I know, I’m currently navigating my way through it. The best way, in my opinion, to deal with the stress of college is smoking weed. Lots of college students deal with stress by drinking a lot. This is a terrible idea because drinking can get you into trouble, hangovers cause you to miss class, and drinking is just bad for you if you do it in excess. Smoke some weed and calm down. Cannabis will help put everything into perspective. I know this. Cannabis keeps me from freaking out about my grades. It allows me to chill out and relax. After that, I get back to my homework. You’ll Write Better Papers My freshman year I wrote put together my entire English portfolio and wrote my final paper while high out of my mind. Guess what, I not only got 100% on my portfolio, my professor also emailed me and told me that I had the highest grade in the class. She asked me if she could use my papers as examples to future students. Cannabis helped me write the best paper in my class. If you use it responsibly, you can too. By responsibly I don’t mean smoking in lieu of writing that term paper. I mean smoking and then writing your paper. Cannabis is great for brainstorming and writing rough drafts. Just make sure you edit closely. You’ll Make New Friends The best friends you’ll make in life are not people that you meet in high school, it’s the people you’ll meet in college. The chillest best people that you’ll meet are those who enjoy the herb. If you’re going to college in a new town and a new state, there’s no better way to meet people than the people you’ll smoke pot with. They’re way better than the randos that you’ll meet at a bar. These people will help guide you through the pressures and possible dangers of college life. They’ll look out for you, and they’ll be generous when it comes to food, smoke, study buddies, whatever. College Is When You Should Be Experimenting There’s no better time and place to experiment than college. Why not? For most, it’s the first time they’ve been on their own without their parents. You’re entering the strange, wonderful, and sometimes painful world of being an adult. It’s time to make your own choices and discover the person you are supposed to be. Cannabis opens your mind and opens you up to new experiences. That’s how you’re supposed to spend your twenties. First of all, don’t let anyone pressure you into doing anything that you don’t want to do. If you don’t want to smoke, then don’t by all means. I won’t think any less of you, and neither will your friends, Smoking weed helps me deal with the stress of college and it makes me pretty damn good at it. I have a high GPA and regularly make the honor roll. I have weed at least partially to thank for that. Featured Image Source: Flocku.com --- Did you smoke weed in college? Did it help you?

Snacks To Make When You're Broke And Baked
So you’ve just smoked a fattie and now you’ve got the munchies. You’re craving something other than a bag of chips, or the usual drive through fare. The thing is you’re broke and payday isn’t for another week. You can still make some pretty bomb snacks on the cheap. All it takes is a look through your cupboard, or a quick trip to the store. Also, you’ll need some creativity. Pizza Sandwich I used to live off these and they were a favorite of mine after getting super baked. All you’ll need is bagels, or English muffins, cheese, pepperoni, and pizza sauce. Spread some pizza sauce on your bagel, put a thin layer of cheese over the sauce, cover with pepperoni and then another layer of cheese. Set the oven to broil and toss it in for about five minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the cheese is that perfect shade of golden brown. You can either have it closed faced like a sandwich, or eat it open faced and it will taste just like Bagel-Bites. Pan Fried Ramen With Bacon And Cheese Chances are you have some packets of ramen in your cupboard. You could have it the normal way, or you could spice it up. Boil the ramen noodles as you normally would, then toss them in a frying pan. Fry the noodles in the pan with a teaspoon of oil (I prefer using grapeseed or coconut oil, but you can use whatever you want, or have lying around). Toss in an egg and whatever seasonings you like, I usually get the best results with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. You can also use the seasoning packet if that’s your thing. Fry up some bacon in a separate pan. When the bacon is cooked put it on a plate with a paper towel to soak up the grease. For an extra burst of flavor you can throw in some bacon grease with your ramen. Break up the bacon and throw it in the pan with your noodles. Lastly, add some freshly grated cheese! Keep it on the stove until the cheese is melted and gooey. Nature’s Skittles If you’re in the mood for something healthy, you can always make a quick fruit salad. This fruit bowl is one of my go-to munchie treats. It’s not only delicious, you don’t feel guilty afterward like you would polishing off a bag of chips. Prep is super easy and the end results are delicious and nutritious! Cut up some strawberries, 2 kiwis, and an orange. Toss into a big bowl. Next, add fruits that don’t need to be cut up like grapes, raspberries, and blackberries. Mix them all together, grab a fork and chow down. This is better for you than Sour-Patch Kids. As Marge Simpson once said: Fruit is nature’s candy! Cookie Milkshake Now that you’re good and stoned you probably want something sweet. Take three scoops of any kind of ice cream you want (except ice cream with fruit, that would probably taste weird with cookies). Throw the ice cream in a blender with two ounces of milk. Break up two of your favorite cookies and toss them in the blender. Blend them up and enjoy! Macaroni And Cheetos Ah, macaroni and cheese, the staple of all broke college students. Give it some kick by adding everyone’s favorite munchie: Cheetos. All you’ll need is a box of macaroni and some Cheetos. Cook the macaroni as you normally would. Add some of your favorite cheese if you have any. Throw in some salt, pepper, and whatever spices you like. Then add some Cheeto crumbs for some extra crunchy goodness! Top it off with some parmesan cheese and you’re good to go! Don’t make snackrifices! Why settle for the normal munchie foods when all you need is some creativity? One of the awesome things about being stoned is that all food tastes amazing. You can throw together any delicious snack, as long as you know how to utilize things you probably have lying around your house. Bon appetit!

6 Hilarious Pranks To Pull On Your Stoner Friends
Pranks are fun to pull on people, especially if you’re really good at it. They’re even funnier to pull on your friends when they’re incredibly baked. If you’re trying to figure out something to do after toking up, try some of these hilarious pranks. Glue A Quarter To The Floor This is a classic prank, but it’s even funnier when you pull it on a friend when they’re high. Super glue a quarter to their linoleum floor and crack up while watching them try to pick it up. The more baked they are, the longer it will take for them to figure it out. Mess With Your Friend’s Contacts This hilarious prank is great to pull on one of your more paranoid friends, especially if they live with their parents. When they aren’t looking swipe their phone and change your name to their mom’s. Then text your friend something like, “I found marijuana in your room and we need to talk.” Watch them freak out for a couple minutes and then reveal that it’s you texting them. Take A Sharpie And Draw Faces On Their Eggs When you’re alone in your friend’s kitchen, take a sharpie and draw angry faces on their eggs. You might not be around to see their face when they go to make breakfast the next morning, but I guarantee you it will be classic “wtf.” If you want to speed up the process, suggest making a snack that involves eggs shortly after you do it. Make sure to get a picture! Mess With The Auto Correct In Their Phone This one takes a bit of time, but the results are worth it. Nab one of your friend’s phones and change the settings so their phone will autocorrect a common word to a funny one. For example you could set it to change “now” to “meow”. For iOS go to settings, general, keyboard, text replacement. Under shortcut enter the word you want replaced. Make sure to pick a common word. Next, add the funny word under phrase. For Android pull down the notifications bar at the top of the screen, select settings, language input, personal dictionary, press the plus sign and add your word. Make Them Think Their Phone Is Broken Get a hold of your friend’s phone and take a screenshot of their home page. Move all the apps to another page so their screen is clear. Then make the screenshot you just took their wallpaper. Sit back and watch the fun! If you can’t get their phone, then try doing this with their PC. After getting a screenshot of their desktop, remove all the shortcuts on their desktop background and then set the screenshot as the wallpaper. Watch them furiously click on the icons while feigning confusion. This is especially funny to pull on people who are both really high and not that great with computers. Open All The Cabinets And Drawers In Your Friend’s Kitchen After smoking a couple bong bowls, make your way into your friend’s kitchen and open all the drawers and cabinets you can find. Sneak out casually and wait for your friend to go into the kitchen for munchies. When they ask if you did it, tell them they must have a ghost haunting them. They’ll figure out it was you pretty quickly, but the look on their face will be priceless. There are some who say that it’s mean to pull pranks on your friends when they’re stoned. These people don’t know how to have fun because pranks are hilarious. Careful though, you might start a prank war!

Top 10 Stoner Pet Peeves
Smoking alone means you can do whatever you want and nobody can bitch about it, but when you're in a group, there's a set of rules you ought to be following. These stoner pet peeves probably won't get you kicked out of the circle, but they'll definitely cause your invitation to be reconsidered the next time your friends are about to light up, so check 'em out and adapt! 1. Parking This is the sacred art of sitting on your ass with the bong or joint in your hand doing absolutely nothing. You may have already taken your hit, you might have forgotten to even take one, the point is that the bud is in your hands and you're keeping the circle from moving along. It's cool if you occasionally forget that you still have the piece, your group will remind you eventually, but try not 2. Not Cornering The Bowl When you're not cornering the bowl that really only leaves two options: you're not hitting the bowl at all, or, you're torching it. One will disappoint you and make your friends chuckle, the other will just piss your friends off for cashing the bowl so fast. Of course, there are many cases where being unable to corner the bowl isn't your fault, such as if there's a draft or if you're new to the toking game. 3. Not Ashing The Bowl/Blunt Correctly My friends like to play this horrible game when smoking joints at my place to try and keep from tapping the ash off the joint as long as possible. This has resulted in the dropping of huge ash nuggets onto my coffee table and carpet almost a dozen times already. (By the way, don't be those dumbasses, most people will get more pissed than I.) You should strive to not make a total mess in your hosts's house, so tap out the joint or blunt often, just make sure you're not breaking it when you're tapping it! Clearing out bowls follows similar guidelines, it's important to follow your host's usual method of cleaning out bowls, whether it be clearing the remaining ash into the bong by lighting the remaining bud in the bowl and inhaling, using a tool to clear out the ash, or simply shaking the bowl over a trashcan. 4. Bogarting Hogging the joint or bong, taking multiple hits on your turn, is all also known as 'bogarting.' Bogarting is a common affliction in stoner circles. More often than not when someone is bogarting it's either because they provided the bud or they forgot they already took their hit, so it's not super offensive. However, rarely, you'll actually meet someone who takes two or more bong rips on their turn, or rips off the blunt 10 times before passing it along. They're the worst kind of mooches, the kind that don't even ask. 5. Consistently Showing Up Empty-Handed If you're that guy who always shows up on Friday night empty handed and you're wondering every time you go back over if they're ever gonna notice, trust me, they're gonna notice. If you're straight up with your group more often than not they'll still smoke you out if even if you didn't contribute. That's because of one of the most basic principles of stoner courtesy: Returning the favor. The general assumption is that if you show up empty-handed one night then on the next night you'll be able to cover your end, and possibly someone else in your crew if they're empty handed. It's all about helping each other out, but we can't do that if you're trying to work the system and always smoke for free! 6. Never-Ending Bud Requests Don't be that guy who sends five texts within twenty minutes asking all of your friends if they have any, it's just obnoxious and not smart. Not only will that land you on the fast track to being barred from circles, it'll also likely land you on the block list for most the people you bombard with texts, then you won't get anything from anybody ever. Practice moderation and patience, it's likely your friend saw your text, but isn't available at that moment to talk about what you're looking for. Give them a few hours, and if still no response you can send another text, but don't bombard them with texts and calls or they'll never respond. 7. Bringing Obnoxious Guests A lot of stoners who host circles often will be fairly open to meeting new people if one of the original stoners in the circle vouches for the new individual(s). Please note: bringing someone new into a stoner circle is not something that should be taken lightly. Once bringing someone in, it's not always the easiest thing to kick them back out again, so if you bring over that one friend who's always hitting you up for bud, and begins to hit up the entire circle, you might end up losing your invitation privileges. This pet peeve especially applies to boyfriends or girlfriends. While your friends should have to put up with your significant other to a certain extent, it's also your responsibility to not allow your S.O. to be a tool and disregard stoner courtesy. 8. Wet-Lipping The Joint/Mouthpiece When you bring a rolled joint to your group you're really only asking one thing, "Don't fuck up this masterpiece I crafted for you while we're getting lit." However this still seems to be a difficult concept for some folks. The easiest way to kill the joy of smoking a joint for everyone in the group is to apply lipstick or chap stick before the joint gets to you. If you hit a joint and the next person who hits it experiences a tip covered in: saliva, lip stick, chap stick, a beverage, etc., congratulations, you've been wet-lipping the joint. It's truly not a hard problem to solve, it's not like you need to try out your lips with a towel, just be aware of the fact that other people are hitting off the joint that probably don't want to taste your cherry lip balm. 9. Mixing Up The Smoking Order Left is law. Left is law. Left is law. LEFT IS LAW. That's not me trying to be a hard-ass about it, that's me reminding you that the simplest way of determining who gets the joint or bong next HAS ALREADY BEEN DETERMINED. Stoners in countries all around the world know this simple rule, so just learn it, know it, love it, and let's end smoking order confusion! 10. Getting Unnecessarily Paranoid I personally believe there are appropriate times to be paranoid. When you're walking down the street in the middle of the night and you notice rustling noises coming from a alley a little ways up, so you decide to walk a different way home? I call that reasonable paranoia. When we're sitting in my house lighting up eating Ho-Ho's and you're in the corner crying because you believe my neighbor's cat is plotting to kill you and you're not ready to defend yourself? You might need to calm down there buddy. When you start to feel yourself getting seriously paranoid in a stoner situation, it's your responsibility to calm yourself down, or, notify the appropriate person in your stoner circle so that they might help you calm down before ruining your trip. Sometimes paranoia can't be avoided, but there are ways you can help prevent it. Featured Image Source: jsnfwlr.com --- These are just some of the pet peeves that really get me, did we miss any?

Why True Stoners Smoke Joints
Weed has been smoked by humans for thousands of years, and we're clearly not gonna stop any time soon. In the history of stoner time a staple of smoking pleasure has always been that of rolling herb in a paper to make a smokeable tube of awesome known as a "joint." A joint offers stoners the penultimate experience for smoking weed, and here are just a few of the reasons why! 1. Joints Unlock The Full Flavor Of Your Bud If you want to experience the true flavor of your bud you MUST smoke it dry. This means no bongs and no bubblers. Sure those will still let you get some of the taste of the bud, but even a dry pipe doesn't give you the full taste of your bud. Only joints allow you to get the full flavor experience from your herb and let you take the time to appreciate it's flavors, smells and smoking experience. 2. They Allow You To Relax While Smoking Unlike pipes, a good joint only needs to be lit once and it'll burn to the end. You don't need to carry around a pipe and a lighter, or move the bulky bong out into the middle of the room, just light it up, puff, puff, and pass it along! Drop the bong? You're gonna spend the next hour cleaning up glass and bong-water. Drop your joint? Pick it right back up and keep toking! 3. Rolling Is An Art Rolling a joint takes patience, skill, and a respect for the craft. Don't even get me started on people who have the ability to make cross joints, braids, and other fantastic smokable oddities. Sure, you could buy a roller at your local smoke shop for pretty cheap, but nobody respects someone who can't roll their own joints. Even if it's horribly uneven and canoes when you smoke it, you'll get a lot more respect for a hand-rolled joint than a machine-made one. 4. Spliffs/Blunts Nothing compares to the pure elegance of a joint, but that doesn't mean the potential of paper-wrapped toking stops there. Mix some tobacco into the mix and you got a spliff, which brings a whole new layer of possibilities into the game. Imagine the tobacco and strain combinations you can make! Maybe that's not your style, maybe you just want to wrap your bud in a tobacco leaf, and make a fat blunt, which is just as admirable, and frankly a requirement to be considered a true stoner. 5. Because They're Fun Because you can, that's why. A joint has many wonderful properties, despite being the least efficient in saving bud. This is because in life you need to have things that you can just enjoy, that you can simply have fun with and not worry about the consequences. Joints are the simplest way you can feel luxurious, or to consider a treat. Whenever I feel like treating myself I roll a joint, and when I've had a bad day? I roll two.
