Every anti-weed advocate just lost possibly their most valuable argument.

“The researchers followed more than 5,000 people over two decades and found that regularly smoking marijuana — the equivalent of up to a joint a day over seven years — did not impair performance on a lung function test.

“In something of a twist, the researchers found that compared to nonsmokers, marijuana users performed slightly better on the lung function test, though the improvement was minuscule.”

Epic. I think I’ll go take some puffs of this finely crafted BHO in celebration! While I do that, check out the rest of the article:

First off, no. Well probably not, but I’ll humor you.

Just how much time should pass for a solid tolerance break? I’ve heard this question many a time in my days of stonering, and as with all things drug, there’s no concrete answer. Naturally, the variance will be vast between a daily wake-and-baker and the weekend warrior. But that’s not to say we can’t have a general rule of thumb to follow…

For most people, about a week will suffice to accomplish the majority of the intended task. While cannabis does not entirely leave the system for multiple weeks, a majority of it will be gone in just 7 days. In this time, any residual effects from daily smoking should have passed, and you’ll feel fresh and alert.

The following short film was submitted to this website by one of our readers. It appears a vintage camera was used in the production of this spot, here it is for your viewing pleasure:

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, a camera that shoots film. Very retro. Anyway, without further ado, I will link you to a copy of the film itself, conveniently shared with the world via youtube:

Be sure to let us know if you like the video or think it sucked!

There is a lot of information to sift through in regards to recreational drugs. Whether it’s from the DEA, MADD, your drug dealer, or a random website you stumble across, there tends to be quite a bit of bias in the answers you find. I’m going to try to accomplish the impossible: an unbiased guide to drugs!

I am inevitably going to fail, as I am admittedly extremely biased towards the responsible use of drugs. I believe that almost any drug can be used responsibly, and if everyone was thoroughly educated on them, it would be much more common that people could do so. Drug education could also have loads of other positive effects, of course, including a reduced stigma, further research, and better addiction assistance, but that’s another topic entirely.

So without further delay, let’s begin!

It’s amazing to think that I’ve been heavily into recreational drugs for 4 years now. On the one hand, I’ve gained so many experiences; looking back it seems like I’ve had a lifetime of memories in this short time. On the other hand, I’ve only been using them for a fraction of my life, and it’s incredible to look forward to all the possibilities ahead of me.

One thing is for sure, I’ve done a lot of drugs. I’ve done some drugs that most people probably only know about in a mythical sense, and some people probably haven’t even heard of! In this article, I’d like to share with you all my experiences with these drugs, and which ones I like, and dislike, the most. I’ll try to order them from most enjoyable to least enjoyable, but since drugs are such complicated issues, it wont be perfect.

Sometimes when I’m smoking with my hos intellectual drug companions outside, I get some mad auditory hallucinations. Musical hallucinations that must be quelled by the sweet sound of their real sister. Today’s real sister is:

STS9 (Sound Tribe Sector 9)—Hidden Hand, Hidden Fist from the album Peaceblaster

 (Click the song name to listen or download free from sadsteve.com)

This particular song is extremely entrancing, memorably melodic, and has a catchy beat. STS9 has some wonderful music for sleeping, or just listening to when you’re baked. Every time I listen to this song, I feel like I’m trudging through the jungle wearing a M16 on my back while chopping away foliage with my Vietnamese machete.  

Another one of my favorite albums by the group is Artifact (2005). STS9 also performs live (amazingly) and has lots of people dropping out of college to be their groupies (ACL 2008 anyone?). Speaking of ACL, our main writer is going there on Saturday! There will be coverage to some degree here, so keep checking back.
