Listen SnusOn ... serious head on now!

The best way to exist - REPEAT THE BEST WAY ... is clean ... totally clean ... clean of tobacco, alcohol, pot, all of it!

When you get to that place - you will agree with me - you will feel fantastic!

Unfortunately we live in a world where life is shit and any little brain escape we can get whether it be the numbing quality of alcohol, the stimulation/relaxation of tobacco, or the unrealistic happiness of smoking marijuana. Using any of these things to ameliorate our lives is a sensible use of the drugs available.

Once the drug begins to dictate our behaviour then is the time to question whether we should continue using it - and the answer should normally be no ... stop it! But of course some people have more of a problem identifying that point than others - and those are your addicts!

I would seriously evangelise about a life without all of this shit - but I know what the real world is like today ... and that is also shit ...

Moderation is your friend, my friends ... moderation. Or at least make sure your benders are just really infrequent!

Pot entrepreneurs give gift of hope to family of ill boy

After Ryan Day told his story of struggling to get legal marijuana to treat his son’s severe epilepsy, some pot entrepreneurs responded with generosity, then extended their charity to help others.



This is a holiday story you probably haven’t seen before.

After Ryan Day publicly told his story of struggling to get and grow legal marijuana to treat his son’s severe epilepsy, some pot entrepreneurs responded with generosity.

Two leaders in Seattle’s medical-marijuana industry, Alex Cooley and Ryan Kunkel, reached out to the Day family — and are expanding their charity to others in need during the holiday season.

Cooley, who runs a fully permitted growing operation in Seattle, visited Day’s Thurston County house to advise him on how to grow rare strains of pot that are low in psychoactive chemicals but high in cannabidiol, or CBD, which is believed to have therapeutic qualities.

Kunkel, owner of five Have A Heart dispensaries, had another idea. He bought from Cooley a pound of the rare strain, Sour Tsunami #3, that Day was seeking. Then he gave it to Day for his 5-year-old son, Haiden.

Kunkel’s 11-year-old daughter and a friend made a card decorated with messages of hope and kindness, Day said.

“My wife and I were driven to tears,” said Day, a former Marine. “These are not shadowy guys trying to make tons of money with guns strapped to their bodies. They really care about their community.”

Wanna go on a Get High Getaway?

Reefer gladness: Mile High City’s pitch to the high-end weed smoker

So you want to get high in a high-end way in the Mile High City? You could call Dale Dyke and his wife, Chastity Osborn, a massage therapist, who run Get High Getaways. They gutted their brick house in Bel Mar and let it go to pot, refashioning it as a clothing optional, or as Dale calls it, “textile optional” bed-and-breakfast.
They’re still waiting for their first big booking, but Chastity says they’re busily adding amenities to create a “resort environment”, including a stone labyrinth with a tether ball, a camera in the living room to Skype your friends stoned and an outdoor swing “where you can have a good time and catch a buzz”.
They charge $199 (€145) per person per night – you have to be over 21 – and offer two rooms, 24/7 car service and a hot tub. They can give, rather than sell, their homegrown pot to guests. Chastity will even serve her marijuana-infused “yummies” textile-free, if you like. (The couple are proud members of the American Association for Nude Recreation.) “We want the higher-end clientele,” 38-year-old Chastity says. “Comedians. Adult film entertainers. Musicians.” Dale chimes in: “We’re trying to keep stoned tourists from getting lost in Denver and causing mayhem. Our motto is: ‘Don’t come on vacation and leave on probation.’”
The blooming pot industry here is still more seedy than glossy. Yet the budding bud growers are eager to help Denver elude the stigma of Rocky Mountain Low, a shadowy place overrun by “The Dude Abides” hippies and Jeff Spicoli stoners. “People are learning not to be ashamed,” 45-year-old Dale says. “No more talking in whispers. We’re moving away from the image of dumb stoner teenagers to older successful businesspeople who can admit they’re stoners.”

Not quite understand the pricing point and the clientele they're trying to reach. Hell for 400 a night I could send me and my girlfriend on a nice little vacation there. A little pricey but not over the top. I don't think i would pay that amount though for some weed a hot tub and a swing, I could just go get stoned outside a hotel and stay in probably a nicer room for cheaper with a better hot tub.
Cool idea though, it's going to be interesting to see who will survive and how when there will soon be a pot dispensary for every 10 users.

[wa3zrm]

I see the pot industry like the gambling industry. For a long time, Vegas was the only place to go... then there came Atlantic City and now almost everyone is within an hour drive to a gaming resort.

This is a ground floor opportunity for anyone willing to take the risk. I see their clientele as being from the baby boomer generation. As it becomes legal in more states, you'll see an entire resort industry forming around it.

The only thing I don't like about all this pot stuff is the smoking part... I think the stuff is just as bad or worse than cigarettes. For me... I'll be waiting for the THC capsules.

[Premium Parrots]

lmao THC caps. That's how I do air travel with herb. I get empty capsules and pack em tightly with cleaned herb. You would be simply amazed at how much one can cram into a small cap. Enough for a full cigatette in that lil thing. When I travel I need to bring about 18 bottles of meds with me so there is plenty of camouflage. When you know how the new airport xray machines work you will understand why this works....everytime. Don't try to crotch it or hide it in electronics, it will stand out like a sore thumb on the xray.

But with this industry it seems to be already largely saturated. Everyone thinks they can just throw up some signs and start selling. I know a ton of people that rushed to California a few years ago just to realize how expensive it was to get a grow operation started and by the time you get things rolling its not just you but you and 10 other shady dudes.

Holy shit PP.

I don't think so... when you see it being sold in convenience stores then we will have reached the saturation point. Until then, the market is wide open... wait until the big companies become involved... Hell. I see a day where every mall food court has a franchised bakery that will sell you the herb in any baked format you would like... let alone drink!
