What’s On Your Marijuana Bucket List?

I was cleaning out the inbox, and I found this in an e-mail from hailmaryjane.com.  I have never thought of my own stoner bucket list, but going to Amsterdam is definitely near the top of that list…Remember, this is A top ten list, not MY top ten list:

20. Use a vaporizer to get high

19. Build a giant “Scooby Doo”-esque sandwich

18. Buy your pot from the shadiest spot imaginable

17. Hit up a Bob Marley cover band show

16. Watch five classic stoner movies in one sitting

15. Paint or draw a picture while high

14. Eat a pot brownie, or, for the advanced, a fancy pot dessert treat

13. Smoke within 100 feet of a police station

12. Stare at a midget

11. Break out the Gravity Bong

10. Get high on a hot air balloon

9. Find someone new to smoke kiss

8. Take someones pot virginity

7. Smoke with a relative, preferably an older one

6. Have sex while high

5. Combine three “classic” stoner foods to form a Megazord snack

4. Get high at a transcendently beautiful location

3. See any of those big Vegas shows

2. Go to an amusement park of your choice, Disneyland being tops

1. Make the pilgrimage to the mecca of pot, Amsterdam

Jail Guard Tries To Smuggle Herb To Inmate

Image via link.

What’s good homies, this story is coming from the Cook County Jail in Illinois. April 23, 2010,  32 year old Heriberto Viramontes attacked two women as they were walking home on a Bucktown sidewalk on the 1800 block of North Damen. Now on June 11th of this year, his girlfriend was arrested minutes after leaving the jail after leaving some bud taped under the table in the visitor’s room! If that wasn’t enough stupidity by one person, more people were allegedly involved, including 50 year old Jerom Prusa, the guard who allowed this all to happen. For the full story click here.

According to the Chicago Tribune, Prusia was suspended pending an employment hearing and he resigned from the LaGrange Park Police Department, where he worked as an auxiliary officer. Prusa faces a slew of charges, especially after officers also found two knives in his uniform. Both Viramontes and Lundgren were charged with one count each of bringing contraband into a penal institution.

Alright, I usually believe everyone should enjoy herb no matter what. But this guy is pretty much undeserving of the good, let alone life for the things he did. These fools are stupid and all need to rethink they’re shit. Be about that paper, not jail.

Tell the DEA: Stop the Lies

So I’ve really been thinking a lot lately about what the purpose of HMJ should be. I love the site, I love the name, I love the amazing team we have, and of course I LOVE the Greenies. If it wasn’t for you guys I would have closed this site down a long time ago and I still get emails from people just to say they fuck with us. That motivates me (hint hint) but I’m going to stay on topic. We should be about more than just looking at girls smoking and bongs.

I want us to really make a difference when it comes to legalization. Imagine a world where you could stand outside anywhere and smoke without having to look over your shoulder or feel like a criminal. Imagine not having to hide the fact that you enjoy something as natural as eating fruit. Imagine a world where we don’t have to watch our friends and family suffer from illnesses that can easily be treated with marijuana. This is a serious issue and a serious time in our existence.

We just found out the DEA is REALLY serious about not working with us on this marijuana legalization movement but I’m not trying to hear that. I’ve found a petition where we can send a message directly to the DEA Administrator, Michele Leonhart. I am not someone who would tell you guys to do something that I wouldn’t do so I sent a message in as well. You also have the option to donate to Drug Policy Alliance but you are not required to.

With the elections coming up and all of these issues really being discussed for the first time, trust and believe that HMJ and the Greenies will be a part of the movement.

Budtender’s Appreciation Day July 11th!?

What Have You Done for Your BudTender Lately?

Photo by: Robyn Twoby

You tip a waitress don’t you? So why not throw a couple of extra bucks for a person that takes care of your weedy needs? As a Cali MMJ patient, I’m able to frequent any number of collectives in California. It’s nice when I’m traveling within the state to visit a collective and pick up a local strain or bud. One of  the local collectives I frequent here in Los Angeles, has had a sign behind the counter saying “Budtender’s Appreciation Day 7-11-11” forever, so I decided to ask what it was all about.

“I don’t really know” was the first answer one of them gave me. I later found out it was a day they had come up with on their own. It got me thinking. BudTenders DO provide a necessary service to MMJ patients and have to put up with a LOT of shit from patients and bosses, so why shouldn’t they have their own day?! . People may “think” a budtender’s job would be the tits having access to so much weed everyday. Wrong-O! Try waiting on people that are finicky, bitchy and abusive for 10 hours a day for pretty humble wages.

We have Secretaries Day so why not Budtender’s Appreciation Day?

If anyone can make this day a reality and a movement for all the budtenders out there, it’s Hail Mary Jane and OUR GREENIES!!

So this July 11^th, when you are at your favorite collective picking up your meds, why not surprise your Budtender with a tip, a gift, a hug or just tell them how important they are.  Make your Budtender feel special on their day! Remember 4:20 started somewhere too!

Tell them HMJ is showing the love for all Budtenders!

Let’s make “BudTender’s Appreciation Day 7-11-11” a real day!

42 Ways To Tell If Someone May Be A Stoner

Stoner friends are the best. If you have no bud, they might have some and come and blaze with you. You laugh together, cry together, and cough up smoke together. Finding new smoking buddies makes me very excited but you have to be careful trying to find new friends who smoke because afterall, it is illegal and all.

Have you ever been suspicious of a co-worker or friend being a stoner but you weren’t sure? Here are 42.0 ways for you to find out if you potentially have a new smoking buddy or not. These are not all true for every smoker so they won’t always apply but many of them apply to many smokers.

Hopefully no cops are reading this.  If you are a cop, leave my page immediately, but click on some ads before you go.

1. They always have a lighter, but you never see them smoke
2. They always smell like weed
3. You go to their house and hailmaryjane.com is in their browsing history.
4. You see them hop out of this van.
   
5. If you ask them a question, every single response is “what? or “what did you say man?”
6. If you are a stoner yourself, usually you can just tell.  Sort of like a stoner 6th sense.
7. If they are funny and usually calm.
8. Sometimes you see them and their eyes are red as hell and others they aren’t.
9. They are always “tired.”
10. Check the bottom of their lighter. If it has black marks on the bottom of their lighter, you know they been using it to push down bowls / snub out joints.
11. Their lighter has no safety
    
12. If they smoke cigarettes, they hold it between their index and thumb, instead of between their middle find and index.
13. Their DVD collection includes half baked, how high, pineapple express, or any number of the other movies on this list.
14. They are always smiling.
15. They walk, move and/or talk slowly.
16. Half the cardboard has been ripped off their pack of papers
17. They like it big…
    
18. Burnt finger tips
19. Burnt lips aka smokers lip.
20. Their ipod contains songs from this list.
21. They always take a break at work at 4:20 pm.
22. Stoners usually have baggy eyes, whether they are high or not.
23. If you have dreads you are probably a stoner, if you are white and have dreads you are almost certainly a stoner.
24. If they own a long board.  Where do you think they are riding? To go get stoned, duh!
25. They use the term “dank for almost anything.  (Dank food, dank drinks, dank bud, etc.)
26. They wear sun glasses at night
27. They are very good with fractions (1/8ths, 1/4ths, 1/2ths, etc.) and conversions (28.3 g=1 ounce and 16o= 1 pound)
28. If they are wearing a Bob Marley, Kottonmouth Kings, or Cypress Hill tee,
29. They use Rohto eye drops.  Most people will just use visine but all real stoners know that Rohto is king.
30. They are a graduate of Oaksterdam University.
31. They are from California, Amsterdam or Jamaica.  This isn’t a guarantee but I’ll usually put money on people from these places being stoners.
32. You meet them at 3am at 7-11 buying two hot dogs, a bag of doritos, skittles, and a 2 liter bottle of pepsi; while you are buying the same thing.
33. They always got some intellectual shit to say even though its usually irrelevant.
34. Their favorite color is green, or purple.
    
35. They wear clothes made out of hemp.
36. You met them at Ziggy Marley concert.
37. They haven’t shaven in weeks (sometimes, or they might just be grimey)
38. They pull their cigarette like a blunt.
39. They dress like a hippy.
40. Even their pets know how to get it in.
    
41. They can barely make it to the end of a list like this without getting distracted.
42. Ask them.  Most of the time it will be fine as long as you are not asking a cop, a teacher, or your boss.

10 People Who Got Stoned Who Probably Shouldn’t Have

 

As everyone who reads this site regularly knows, I am a major advocate of smoking marijuana in large quantities. Moreso than that though, I think everyone should smoke responsibly. Although I love getting stoned and being around other stoners, there are certain people who probably shouldn’t be getting high. You don’t want your surgeon to show up to surgery stoned. You don’t want your pilot to be stoned. Everyone else is ok though, unless you are one of the people on this list who got stoned but probably shouldn’t have.

 

Note: I’m not 100% sure all of these videos or all of these people are actually stoned.  You guys watch and give me your opinion.  I am pretty sure all of them are at least a little buzzed.

This is the funniest police officer EVER!

That would be the best day of a young firefighter’s life

Stoned reporting about weed, how ironic.

This teacher is stoned out of his mind. I mean come on, Boston? A great city? Just kidding Bostonians, we love you.

Don’t get stoned on Judge Judy, she doesn’t like people laughing on her show.

How stupid can you be to admit to cops that you’re stoned? I mean, really?

Stoned Granny almost didn’t make this list because she should have the right to get stoned, but the guy with her is an idiot.

This mom probably got stoned and forgot where she left her weed. This is a bad way to remember.

Another guy that got stoned before Judge Judy. This guy looks like he had better shit than the first guy.

Youtube says this German weather lady is stoned… We’re going to have to agree.
