Let’s face it, stoners (especially me) don’t like to work, but we do it because we have to pay the bills, right? While I was at my crappy office job today, I spent a little while reminiscing of previous jobs I’ve had that were much more stoner-friendly. My current job has a ‘zero tolerance’ policy [...]

I used to not care what strains I smoked, so long as they were the super chronic. ‘Call it what you want, I just want to get baked,’ is what I would always say to people. However, as dispensaries become more widespread, and people continue to get seeds from seed banks rather than get their [...]
A couple of months before the Oregon primary, a funny thing happened. Ninjasmoker received a Facebook request from Oregon Republican candidate Chris Dudley. It was very interesting to me that a self proclaimed conservative would try to network with a 100% self proclaimed stoner, even on Facebook. I chalked it up to the fact that [...]

Oregon Senator Ron Wyden Condemns Marijuana Consumers
In a midterm election year, there is nothing more satisfying to me than harassing political candidates. I spend a lot of my free time and work breaks calling and e-mailing campaigns, trying to get them to go on record with their ‘official stance’ on marijuana policy. Yesterday I received a response that was so ridiculous, [...]
