Was just surfing around and on one of my favourite forums where there was a heated debate going on about what 2010 holds for business and someone posted a silliy comment which was given a response with this funny picture. Not sure what the post meant by this picture but it sure is funny, M&M’s chocoalte sweet with their own stash of marijuana, smoking and getting high – lol!
Hope you guys had a great Christmas and are having a fantastic new years! 2010 is no doubt going to be the year for even more marijuana so toke pot like never before, especially if you live in the US. Else where in the globe, oh well I guess everyone can just watch every one in Cali smoke and fill the whole US up with marijuana vapour making everyone bonged out.
Anyway, one of my favourite films and probably one of your too, is Scarface but one of my other fav film actually related to marijuana is Blow. A small time drug dealer (George Jung) who starts off on small bags of marijuana, then big sacks and because of his entrepreneurial skills meets up with the notorious Pablo Escobar to go big time by distributing Cocaine.
Happy New Year!
Was just watching the Simpson’s, yeah, yeah I know but still even at my age I still love the cartoon especially todays episode. Basically Homer Simpson gets attacked by shit loads of crows and almost eat out his eyes and the doctor tells him that medical marijuana can help him relieve his pains and then the rest of the show is about Homer smoking pot and being stoned.
Its amazing how medical marijuana has made its way onto a childrens show watched all around the world, is it marijuana marketing to get the word out on what medical marijuana is? Who knows but the show was real dope and although I searched through Youtube and could not find a decent uploaded video I could only find this clip with background music from Afroman, Because I got high!
For those of you who were in your prime back in the days of the Beatles then you will have heavily been influenced by the marijuana scene. Just imagine getting high and listening to psychedelic rock that high will obviously be a twisted one and many must have enjoyed these trippy highs.
More to the point with the Beatles also having connectton to India and the hippy scene they naturally had a connection with marijuana and even it is thought that one of their songs, Norwegian Wood (This Bird has Flown), actually refers to marijuana indirectly.
Marijuana was actually introduced to the band by Bob Dylan and then on July the 24th 1967 the Beatles signed a petition in the Times to legalize it – isn’t that just great?
Not sure what would happen if someone of the same status as the Beatles did that today in the UK, however the good news for the US is that Obama seems to be the man for the MJ movement at the moment.
I find it quite funny how alot of publishers one day post how marijuana is bad for you and then the following week post how it is good for you. These scientists and news publishers have been doing this for a long time and one example that I can remeber is how they say that chocolate is bad for you and then 6 months later publish how certain chemicals in chocolate can prevent heart disease. The same kind of finding from both ends of the spectrum get published about wine.
You never have these fact published consecutively in short periods of time but perhaps six months later when you have forgotten about then previous news to say it is bad for you.
Any way, this is some research publish by the BBC that I wanted to post quite a while back but only got a chance to do it today. You can view the news on the research here, it summarizes how cannabis can help prevent Osteoporosis and even reverse the process through the 1 cannabinoid receptor (CB1) binding with cannabis to cause bone regeneration.
Probably in a few months time we will have the BBC publishing the opposite but we will have to wait and see. One thing is for sure, these kind of finding are great to help legalize the use of medical marijuana across the world.
The original – cannabis – it cures sickness – says Bushman in the ragga track. This is a pretty cool music video covering the good benefits cannabis has. Nice mellow tune to listen to when bonged. You guys know of any other hot tracks to listen to when bonged… they do not have to be about marijuana but just dope tunes to crash out on.
Thanks
When ever you hear about people getting banged up for say possesion of marijuana or its sale, you are usually talking about street level petty crime. The big shots who you never really hear about are the real players in moving drugs like marijuana around the world or at national level and inevitably they are banking big money.
The Telegraph has recently done a picture gallery on some of the king pins and their employees about the nice luxuries they are able to buy themselves. These luxuries being labelled as “Narco Bling” range from guns designed with real gold, exotic animals and big houses.

Do you think that legalizing marijuana will contribute to less crime amongst the top players in its distribution?
If you remember previously we had done a small article based on the Jon Gettman’s 2006 report that showed how marijuana is the number one cash crop in California USA. What about on an international level?
The BBC have highlighted key facts from the UN agencies latest World Drug Report 2009 and these go to show that cannabis is the most grown plants, the most used and most seized in the world!
So although you may have thought that cannabis is commonly used at a local level it is infact predominantly used in USA, Canada and Europe more than Cocaine. These facts probably reflect how easy it is to grow cannabis and because of its low harmful effects on humans compared to Cocaine, Heroin and Opium it is far more accepted and used.
Don’t know what to listen to when smoking your next joint? Well if you are into hip hop and reggae influence then this tune rocks hard with the trio, Stephen & Damian Marleys ft. Snoop Dogg.
So just smoke your joint, lay back and chill to this hot track!
Lol – well can you smoke marijuana without Snoop Dogg – Heee lll Nooooo!
Check out this exclusive video about Snoop Dogg video being interviewed with High Times magazine. He also gets the Stoner Of The Year award and talks about how marijuana has been benificial to Hip Hop as before those days it was Cocaine!
Enjoy the stoney eyed interview with Snoop……
