Moroccan Hash Culture
In Morocco it's possible to see the Atlantic and the Mediterranean at the same time, even if you haven't sampled the local hash. There are marijuana and hashish smokers in every segment of society. Among the Muslims, for whom alcoholic beverages are forbidden by Islamic law, kings, beggars, and everyone in between, hash is a nice way to end the day. It is part of the fabric of many of these cultures. Hashish or hash, sometimes referred to as kif in northeast areas of Africa like Morocco, is the extract of compressed trichomes of cannabis know as kief. Kief has a much higher concentration of the psychoactive cannabinoid THC. Processing kief is one of the steps in producing hash, and it involves heating through multiple cycles.

Hippie Lifestyle Illusion
You are a hippie. Think about it—what are hippies? People with beards and long hair who enjoy doing drugs, listening to music, and rejecting conventional values. Everyone’s experienced that before, haven’t they? Most of us have experimented with our hairstyle or facial hair and have taken a puff of pot here or there. As for “rejecting conventional values,” that sounds like today’s average young adult at some point or another.

Best Situations to Vape
Vaping has become the most versatile way to get baked. Cumbersome, smelly pipes and lighters have taken a backseat to the easy portability and electronically charged convenience of the vaporizer. What was once reserved for the most limited of conditions has made its way into our daily lives. No longer must we smoke in parking lots before entering facilities, or wait until we are home to get baked. With the breakthrough of vaporizers, there are no barriers determining where you can get high.

Pot Jello Shots Recipe
When you neither want to smoke, vape, nor eat your pot, why not shoot it down in a jello shot? Jello shooters, or jello shots, are the number one pre-game drink for any party.

Is the War on Drugs Racist?
Legalization of marijuana first found itself as a part of the battle against racism. It should be no surprise that many of America's archaic drug laws have a common root in racism. Today's new generation of drug users are trapped in a sea of drug laws and enforcement bureaucracies which were designed not for medical, religious, or moral reasons, but to harass and persecute America's racial minorities—Asian, Latino and African Americans. Ironically, the oldest of the racist drug practices is tied, not to stopping drug use, but to promoting it.

How to Manipulate Marijuana
Money doesn’t grow on trees, but luckily marijuana does. The simple idea of picking your own nugs has forced every true weed aficionado to dream of tending his own ganja garden. Like having a chicken coop in your backyard with fresh eggs every morning, there’s nothing like waking up to the smell of newly-picked OG Kush. The main problem holding potential growers back, besides the legal issues, however, is the complex growing process. One cannot simply toss a couple of seeds in the ground and wake up to a fully-grown marijuana plant the next day. This isn’t the world of “Jack and the Giant Beanstalk,” although some pot smoking might explain Jack’s supposed adventure into the clouds. Therefore, a fully-grown weed plant will take some serious time and care before it starts producing the herbs of the Gods.
