This is the interview that everyone has been talking about. Cheech and Chong were a famous comedy duo in the 70′s that were particularly famous for smoking marijuana. More to the point, Tommy Chong has announced that he now has prostate cancer as of June 2012. While incarcerated for the sale of drugs, Chong first began noticing signs of the cancer around eight years ago. However, he was not properly diagnosed until “about a month ago.” His condition was revealed in an interview about decriminalizing the use and sale of marijuana. I’ve got prostate cancer and I’m treating it with cannabis oil,” Chong said to a CNN reporter. “So legalizing marijuana means a lot more to me than just smoking a joint. I want to use cannabis to treat my cancer without being arrested.” On June 13, 2012, Chong was interviewed by a woman named Cheryl Shuman. This was just after Chong’s diagnosis so the time couldn’t be better for Shuman’ a medical marijuana activist and one who claims to have cured her own cancer with cannabis oil. She shared this secret with a delivery system called the CANNAcig by RFMK. It is in this interview that Tommy Chong discusses his time at Taft prison as well as “Operation Pipe Dreams.” Chong made it clear that he feels the environment at this prison was directly responsible for his cancer....

Passing a marijuana drug test is now easier than it ever was before with the way fake piss is readily available these days. Anyone can just go down to their local smoke shop and purchase this fake piss at a reasonable price. The reason this is so valuable is because many weed smokers want to be able to smoke weed even though their job performs drug tests. This way, everyone can be happy because the supervisor doesn’t know you’re smoking weed and you still get to do it! So don’t underestimate how useful fake piss can be for marijuana smokers. It can really get you out of a tough spot if you need it. As long as your boss is none the wiser, you can continue smoking weed and no one gets hurt. Many people claim that they can function in normal society while still getting high at nights and on weekends. While this may be true, it is important to remember not to overdo it. Smoking on the nights and on weekends can turn into to an all day thing if one is not careful. This is why moderation is one of the most important parts of smoking weed. As long as it doesn’t affect your job, then smoking marijuana is all right. But when you become complacent and slack off, things might change. Using fake piss is...

The key to making a great edible brownie is all in the cannabutter. As you may know, marijuana as a plant can not be properly absorbed into the body without the aid of a fat. It is for this reason that the standard practice is making a special butter with cannabis matter that serves as the glue for the entire treat. If it weren’t for this cannabutter, it would not be possible to get high from eating marijuana brownies. Even though this process is fairly easy, it is best to leave it to more experienced bakers if you are not sure how to go about it. After you have your cannabis butter made, the fun can really start. Baking edibles is a simple joy that has been around for a very long time. Making cannabutter is pretty simple when you get right down to it. All you need is a lot of butter in which to cook down your plant matter. The idea is to make it so there aren’t any loose leaves or anything of that nature in the solution, but extra plant won’t hurt the consumer. If anything, it will just get them higher! This butter is the main ingredient in any marijuana edible that you might want to make so it is a good idea to master creating it before moving on to the next steps....

As a country that has long been thought of as traditional, Israel surprised many people with it’s new crop of medical marijuana. Most people would not even think of Israel as a major contributor to cannabis culture, but it certainly has proven itself to be just that in recent years. If more countries pick up the slack just as Israel is doing, there is no telling where medical marijuana programs could end up in the next few years. As long as the main focus is to help patients suffering from diseases, then nothing can go wrong when growing marijuana. In fact, most people are saying what Israel is doing is a great thing despite the public aversion to marijuana. This just shows how times have changed in the past few years.  Avidekel – The New Marijuana Israel stands out as a top contributor in the medical marijuana community because of the type of weed they’re growing. This new kind of weed called Avidekel is specifically made not to get the user high. This special kind of marijuana has less than one percent THC in it so those who smoke it can get on with their day in a normal fashion. Typically, those who smoke weed had to leave their medicating to the evening or night when they could just sleep off the negative side effects. But now smokers can...

Most people agree that the current way we regulate marijuana is not satisfactory. Theresimply has to be a better way to do this. One suggestion that comes up time and time again is to regulate marijuana like alcohol. The comparison is easy to make because are recreational intoxicants used widely by teens and adults. These two drugs are easily the most used recreational ones out there and for good reason. While alcohol and marijuana are not good for the user, the side effects on the body are much less compared to those of harder drugs. If you are going to pick a drug to use, then these two are certainly the least harmful you could choose. In the end, no drug is good for the body, but they can become much less unhealthy with the use of moderation. What The Professors Are Saying While using marijuana is certainly not going to make you any healthier, it is certainly a better choice than hard drugs or even alcohol. Over one hundred college professors from Colorado are in support of ammendment 64 and we should be too. Regulating marijuana like alcohol is the only sensible solution that we’ve yet to try. It is very clear that marijuana prohibition has failed and we need to take the plant in a new direction. More and more people are trying marijuana every day so it...

Many smokers of cannabis have never even heard of vaporizing. While it is a relatively new technology, people should be acquainted with it as it is much healthier for the body than smoking is. When smoking, close to ninety percent of that which goes in your lungs is just plant matter which won’t get you high. But the smoke from a vaporizer is over ninety five percent pure THC. This means that you will spend less time coughing and more time staying faded. This is why more people than ever are starting to vaporize marijuana. As most who use a vaporizer know, there are many ways to vaporize weed and each of them has their own benefits. We will go into each of these different ways to vaporize marijuana and compare the pros and cons. Pocket Vaporizer This vaporizer is small and discreet so it can be hit in even the most open locations. I have heard friends say that parents will not even smell it if it smoked right in the other room with the door open! This is a true testament to how sneaky the pocket vaporizer can be. The design of the device is fairly simple as it works much like a regular pipe. The difference is that the marijuana is not lit on fire in the vaporizer, it is actually heated up to the point at...

Yield – 400 – 500 g/m2 Mediterranean Climate In and Outdoor Cultivation Compact Height High THC Content Medical Short Flowering Time (45 – 55 days) Indica Type Regular This strain came from Afghanistan and was then bred by top marijuana cultivators in Holland for both in and outdoor growing. The resin glands on this strain are particularly greasy which gives Afghan its very acrid aroma. If one raises and cures their yield properly, the high one can get from this plant is simply amazing. With a high flower to leaf ratio, the plant yields a lot which just adds another great thing to its resume. In fact, many of today’s most potent hybrids are composed partially of this fine strain. Being an indica, this plant will get you so stoned that you don’t want to get off the couch. This is great for anyone who doesn’t have anything to do on a particular day or for evening smoking. A great yield of 400 – 500 g/m2 also helps to make this strain an attractive one. It is medical marijuana, so all card holders can rejoice. Compact height is another interesting feature of Afghan as it can be grown in secret. The content of THC is very high in this strain so be careful not to smoke yourself to sleep! I would recommend these Afghan cannabis seeds to any grower...

Yield – 400 – 500 g/m2 Climate – Dry Indoor Cultivation Average Height High THC Content Not Medical Short Flowering Time (45-55 days) Type Regular Hybrid Ever since the mid 90′s, AK marijuana strains have been on the rise in popularity. If you are looking for a strain that has a short flowering time, then this AK-48 is one of the most potent available. The aroma that comes from the plant is both penetrating and exceptional. Though the plant is described as a hybrid, the high it produces tends to favor sativas a little more. In most cases, this strain will finish growing in about 48 days. And while most growers might prefer a longer growing time, the buds this plant produces are better than your average buds. This strain is an indica sativa hybrid so you will be feeling effects of both these kinds of weed. A short flowering time will also help you get your yield more quickly. As it is not medical marijuana, card holders might want to think twice before ordering this strain. With a high THC content, you can be sure that this strain will get you high every single time.   It is meant for dry, indoor cultivation so make sure to adhere to these standards when growing it. And finally, a large weed of 400 – 500 g/m2 keeps all of the...

When one is smoking, one question seems to come up in their head over and over again. Does smoking weed kill brain cells? While it is an age old question, the verdict is still out as to the exact answer. While it was recently believed that weed indeed did kill brain cells, some new studies show that this may not be the case as previously thought. Even though weed is the second most widely used recreational drug worldwide, there are certainly many reasons one might want to stay away. Some of these reasons include short term memory loss, loss of basic motor skills, heart palpitations, and extreme laziness. But apart from these side effects, there is little to fear from the plant. Marijuana grows in the ground naturally which is more than can be said for other harder drugs today. Old Government Studies First and foremost, it is important to note that many other recreational drugs have also been proven to cause brain damage. Even substances that are widely accepted like alcohol can cause such damage. There were a series of studies done on monkeys many years ago upon which lots of people base their ideas of weed killing brain cells. These studies have since been debunked and most governmentofficials now admit that smoking weed will not cause the death of brain cells. While this isn’t to say that weed...

There are many different ways to smoke weed these days with new advances in technology and general human advancement. Even though there is not one sure way to please every smoker, most people like to smoke out of either glass, papers, or vaporizers. Each way has its advantages and disadvantages and opinion about the three varies from user to user. No matter what it is that you prefer smoking out of, you can be sure that you will run into other like minded individuals that think the same way that you do.Even though smoking weed does have several harmful side effects, it is widely considered the safest recreational drugs used today. It is one of the only drug which is completely natural and grows in the ground just like any other plant. Marijuana is not perfect, but it is definitely better for the user than other harder drugs. Glass Bongs and Pipes One of the most standard ways of smoking cannabis is through glass. While pipes and bongs are very different devices, the basic idea remains the same between the both of them. A pipe is basically a single piece of blown glass with a chamber, a bowl, and a carb hole. The bowl is where one puts their weed and the chamber is for holding the smoke that ensues from smoking the plant. A bong is a bit...
