Kottonmouth Kings’ Daddy X: Reflections On The Road – Cloud Nine Tour Update
Fri Dec 14, 2007
What's up my good people? Daddy X here, Kottonmouth King Family...it is a stoney night in San Francisco, we are up in the Bay Area playing the West Coast dates on the "Cloud Nine Tour." We started the tour in Upstate New York in mid November and blazed all the way across the country playing shows, pinchin’ the hooch and spreading the good word!! Peace, love and personal freedom!!
I can safely report from the front lines that good herb is everywhere...we used to hit spots of the country that had bunk weed…it seems like high grade has made its way to every town...people are taking their strains more seriously...and why not? The crime is the same whether you grow garbage or chronic...
The underground is alive and thriving it was good to see so many familiar faces across the country. Over the last twelve years we have made some good friends along the way. As you know the man for the people and high with the people, Pakelika, is campaigning for …READ MOREtags: 5 « add a comment

Things To Do While Most Of The HIGH TIMES Staff Is At The Cannabis Cup(#5 - #1)
Fri Nov 23, 2007
Okay so the Cannabis Cup is still rolling along and from what we’re told, it’s been a blast. But, whatever, we’re having fun back at the office too. Yeah. A lot of fun…
Here’s 5 – 1 of the top ten things to do if you find yourself left behind in New York while most of the HIGH TIMES staff is partying in Amsterdam at the 20th Anniversary Cannabis Cup:
5. Roach Hunt: It’s kinda like an Easter egg hunt through the office but instead of ending up with a bunch of crappy pastel colored eggs, you accumulate enough pot to mellow out Robin Williams circa 1985.
4. Bring Your Pet To Work Day: Don’t have a pet? Bring someone else’s. You see, some of us think our roommates are holding out on us or have the distinct feeling our neighbors like to burn the green but aren’t generous with the invites. The idea here is to finely tune the animal’s olfactory senses so they can be used for …READ MOREtags: 11 « add a comment

The 21 Jar Salute: Cannabis Cup Day Two by Danny Danko
Mon Nov 19, 2007
It's the day after Opening Ceremonies of the 20th Annual Cannabis Cup and day two of judging sativas from seed companies who enter with the hopes of winning the elusive prize of bragging rights and seed sales. We were presented with over twenty jars to test with fake names randomly assigned from the tarot in order to keep the judging blind and untainted. It's a tough job, but we're slogging through, smoking joint after joint along with vapor hits and bong hits to determine the tastiest and strongest weed. In between, some fruits and snacks cleanse the pallet before we move on to the next variety of pot.
Sativas typically make you giddy and the spirit of the celebrity judges is off the hook. The presence of legendary hip-hop artist Redman has significantly enlivened the mood as well. Redman, also known as Doc or the Funk Doctor Spock is known as every rapper's favorite rapper and alot of that has …READ MOREtags: 18 « add a comment

Things To Do While Most Of The HIGH TIMES Staff Is At The Cannabis Cup
Fri Nov 16, 2007
Okay, just because 98% of the HIGH TIMES staff left a handful of us here in New York holding the bong while they live it up at the 20th Anniversary Cannabis Cup doesn’t mean we can’t still have fun, right?
Here’s the bottom half of the top 10 things we staffers left behind are doing to keep what’s left of our sanity. Check back next week for the top 5 (assuming we last that long):
10. Cubical Exchange: Every ten minutes someone shouts "shift!" and we all move to a new cubical. This was exciting until I sat in a 3-month-old grilled cheese sandwich someone mailed to our ad department as a down payment on a classified – seriously, my pants smell like Louis Anderson after an Jazzercise session in a dumpster.
9. Bigger, Better Paraphernalia: Making bongs out of stuff lying around isn’t all that new but now that the office is practically deserted we can undertake much larger projects like Water Cooler …READ MOREtags: 18 « add a comment

Stalking the elusive wild cannabis of Vancouver Island
Wed Sep 26, 2007
After a weekend spent stalking the elusive wild cannabis of Vancouver Island, your intrepid cultivation reporters have finally arrived to a place called civilization. Our brief stop allows us the opportunity to post some of the photos we've acquired and release the info on harvest time in beautiful British Columbia. Canadians work long and hard all spring and summer to get their plants out into the bush and keep them happy with water and nutrients that provide nourishment through the sometimes harsh seasons. This one in particular has been rainy and chilly, making for some stunted growth. Growers have expressed their frustrations with the weather yet still the pot is growing here in record numbers.
The West Coast of Canada has had a flourishing ganja growing community for many years now and I'm told that some of the genetics date back to soldiers who returned from the Korean War in the late 1950's. That's alot of time for breeding better buds and the growers of BC have …READ MOREtags: 3 « add a comment

Low quality video of a high-tech grow operation

Okay, so HIGH TIMES' Jorge Cervantes Ultimate Grow DVD's may have higher production values that this little gem, and actually teach you how to grow weed, step by step, but damn, our cameras have never been to a place with an escape tunnel...

Mary-Kate Olsen plays a Jesus freak pot head on Weeds.
Tue Sep 18, 2007
We have a running debate within the HIGH TIMES office: Does Showtime's "Weeds" portray the world of marijuana poorly, what with all the guns, shootings, DEA raids, and highly inappropriate parenting, or is the joke on those who still believe that this kind of Reefer Madness represents the norm.
Either way, former child star Mary-Kate Olsen has taken a star turn on the show this season, as a lover of the Lord who also enjoys Lord Shiva. Check it out, and let us know what you think of the show in the comments.tags: 30 « add a comment

FRED THOMPSON DODGES MEDICAL MARIJUANA ISSUE
Tue Sep 11, 2007
It's official: Hollywood actor and former senator Fred Thompson has entered the race for President of the United States. Naturally, he has a carefully considered position on the DEA's ongoing arrests of state-sanctioned medical marijuana patients in the twelve states that have passed laws protecting them. He just can't tell you. But he promises to get right back to this investigative reporter from Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana, who should probably start holding his breath.... now!

Bill Hicks' plan to end pot prohibition
Thu Sep 6, 2007
Bill Hicks has been among HIGH TIMES' favorite comedians since he released his first album, aptly titled Dangerous, in 1990. Hicks employed his ferocious wit against all the ills in society, reserving some of his harshest, and most hillarious, judgement for the ridiculous War on Drugs. In this classic clip, the late, great funny man outlines his proposal to reform the nation's marijuana laws. If you'd like to take up the same cause, in a slightly more serious way, check out NORML.

And I can not lie...
Tue Sep 4, 2007
Awhile back, the editors of HIGH TIMES asked our expert readers for their favorite things to do while stoned. Strangely, nobody submitted: "Hijack a Wal-Mart PA system and sing Sir-Mix-A-Lot's 'Big Butts." And then we find this video on the internet. So thanks for nothing, guys...

Okay, this newscast is a few months old, so stop us if you've heard the one about the cop who stole marijuana from the evidence room, baked some brownies with his wife, and then freaked out so bad he called 911 and asked for the score of a hockey game. File this one with the cop whose wife made him marijuana meatballs that got him kicked off the force.

Delegate to Coral Reefs Task Force fined in Samoa
Mon Aug 27, 2007
It must be a completely magical experience to smoke a big fattie and then scuba dive along the world's most spectacular coral reefs. Unfortunately, one US delegate to the US Coral Reefs Taks Foce never got the chance. Caught at the airport in Samoa, she ended up spending $5000 in fines on a "personal amount" of marijuana.... Ouch!

Twenty two pounds of cannabis sure fills the tub...
Fri Aug 24, 2007
Why on Earth did this guy fill his tub with buds and climb on in? I'll let the filmmaker behind "Herbal Bath in 22 Pounds of Marijuana" speak for himself:
In South Africa I accidentally purchased 22 pounds of the Chronic for 100 US Dollars. I thought it was going to be 2 ounces. I was leaving 6 days later so I smoked joints the size of beer cans then I bathed in it before I had to leave it all behind.tags: 16 « add a comment

Herb eating cop fired by NYPD
Thu Aug 23, 2007
In 2005, anti-terrorism cop Anthony Chiofalo flunked a drug test and came up with one of the greatest excuses of all time. His wife, Chiofalo claimed, secretly spiked his meatballs with Mary Jane, hoping he'd be caught, because she was afraid something would happen to him in the line of duty. Chiofalo managed to convince an administrative judge at the time (why didn't I get that judge?), but two years later the Commissioner of the New York Police Department has finally gotten around to firing him.
Oh well, at least he and the wifey will have more time to work on their ganja-infused food. May we suggest the cannabis creamed eggs recipe in this month's HIGH TIMES?tags: 16 « add a comment

Dem hopefuls vow to end medical marijuana raids.
Thu Aug 23, 2007
Granite Staters for Medical Marijuana recently managed to track down Senator Barack Obama, on tape no less, and confirm his pledge to stop federal raids of state supported medical marijuana suppliers. With similar vows on record from all of the major Democratic contenders for President, we can begin to see one of the clear issues at stake in 2008: Will the next election bring four more years of Bush-style bullshit when it comes to marijuana and the War on Drugs, or a new chance to reexamine our counterproductive policies regarding cannabis.
Either way, it's up to all of us to keep the pressure on these politicians, because ending the arrests of seriously ill patients is one campaign promise worth keeping.tags: 52 « add a comment
