I'll make this short and simple:
Economic power influences government.
According to NORML, more than 14 million Americans use marijuana regularly (and I'll bet that number has increased to at least 15 million in this past year).
Marijuana users come from all walks of life - working class, ganja riche, business owners, politicians, teachers, etc.

If all (or the majority) of marijuana users in America went on some kind of "strike" - be it from paying a certain tax, using/participating in a government service, or something else - it would call great attention to not only the large amount of marijuana users in our society, but also their large leverage on society.
We can achieve legalization through a consolidated group action.

Got an idea as to how we can act as one to show our government, society, and world that marijuana users are everywhere and everyone, and that we want legalization now? Leave a comment!

The Comprehensive Guide to Smoking in Your Room Without Getting Caught

2010-02-08T23:15:00.001-05:00

There are a lot of guides online that tell you how to smoke in your room without getting caught...but most of those methods aren't more than a couple drier sheets and a towel under the door.
Using a combination of new- and old-school methods of discreet smoking, a little scientific knowledge, and some common sense, we've created a fool-proof method for smoking in your room without getting caught. Just make sure you read through all the instructions before attempting this method.

YOU WILL NEED:

Any amount of marijuana
1 Bong (If you cannot access a bong any other GLASS piece should be used. If you use a joint/blunt, you will get caught.)
1 Towel
1 Fan (a small fan or one that fits in your window is preferred)
1 Bee Line or I-TAL Hemp Wick(A lighter can be used if that's your style)
1 Brita filter (unused)
1 Paper towel tube
Music

THE SETUP:

Turn on music. Loud, but not so loud that it will attract attention from the hallway. Just loud enough to cover up any sounds that you're making inside your room.
Roll up your towel (lengthwise) and put it up against the crack at the bottom of your door (between the floor and the door). Be careful not to shove the towel into the crack - this will make it visible from the outside and cause suspicion.
Open your window and turn on your fan so that it's blowing air outside. If it's cold outside (colder than in your room), you're probably better off not opening your window. The cold air will actually flow into your room and make it more likely to carry any scents into the hallway outside your room. (Remember, air moves from areas of high density to low density. Cold air is more dense than hot air!)
Create an Activated Carbon Sploof. Just stick the slim end of the Brita in one end of the paper towel tube and seal them together with some duct tape. If you want added protection shove some drier sheets into the open space inside the paper towel tube. If you don't have a Brita filter lying around, you can make your own activated carbon sploof from scratch.
This step is critical. If you don't make a Sploof you will create a scent and you will get caught.

THE SESSION:

Pack your bowl, put water in your pipe, make sure you've done steps 1-4 of "THE SETUP", and have your Activated Carbon Sploof nearby.
Light your natural hemp wick and use it to light your herb. After you have lit the bowl, shake the hemp wick to put it out or snub it out on some flame-proof surface. (Don't forget that you have to pull the slide though!)
As you complete your hit and pull the slide you must cap the bowl. Cover the open top of the bowl with your palm and plug the other open end with a spare finger. If you don't cap the bowl smoke will escape and make your room smell.
After you have cleared the piece and held your hit to your liking, exhale your entire hit into the Activated Carbon Sploof. Take a breath of fresh air and then exhale into the sploof again, just to make sure it's clear and no smoke will escape unfiltered.

TIPS:

Although using a sploof reduces the smell of marijuana so that it is 99.99% unnoticeable, you may want to spray your preferred air freshener or neutralizer. Just in case.
Never forget to exhale your hit into the sploof. If you forget, you're probably fucked.
Hope for the best, plan for the worst - make sure you have a quick and safe place to stash all of your paraphernalia
Chew some gum. Although your room won't smell, your breath will.
Don't be a dumbass. Stupid mistakes are what gets people caught.

Happy smoking and good luck! If you try our method and find a way to improve it, let us know by leaving a comment on this post!

Why Marijuana Prohibition is Illegal in America

2010-02-04T11:30:00.009-05:00

The American professional field called "Medicine" has a legal monopoly over the provision of health care and maintenance of the human body.

Monopolies are illegal.
Marijuana legalization is required in order to create a competitive market for human health care and the maintenance of the human body (and mind).
The government is endorsing the monopoly of mainstream medical care by legally prohibiting a scientifically valid alternative medicine.

Top 10 mistakes of a newbie stoner

2010-01-23T17:16:00.007-05:00

1. What do you mean, you're not throwing down?
Listen up Newbie, the only time you should get smoked up for free is your first time (or if you do something deserving). So ask your new-found stoner friends how they get weed, then get out 20 bucks and buy yourself a bag. If you don't throw down, you're probably not going to be smoking. Assuming that your friends are gonna smoke you up is like going to the movies with them and assuming they'll buy your ticket for you...Don't be that asshole, buy your own bud.

2. Stop being so paranoid, it's not like you robbed a bank
Seriously - chill out and stop whipping your head around like you're trying to remove it from your neck. Try to be quiet, try to move less... you'll only get caught if you smoke somewhere stupid or draw a lot of attention to yourself. So chill the fuck out, and don't ruin the vibe.
(Oh, and if you're really worried about getting caught, watch this)

3. No, it isn't laced, you're just really high
You didn't get a lung-full of PCP when you hit that joint, the rest of us are clearly all fine. If you're not experienced with high quality marijuana, it's not unusual to feel like you just dropped a tab of acid. You're just really high. Just take a few more tokes and you'll mellow out.

4. Coughing gets you higher
Quit puffing your cheeks out like you're some kind of chipmunk. No one cares if you let out a cough - there's an old stoner saying "Coughing gets you higher". Just let it all out and try not to cough on anyone - you'll feel better and you won't look like a fucking idiot.

5. ... but don't cough into the bowl
Never, ever blow air BACK INTO A BOWL. Unless you're clearing a bowl that has already been finished, never blow air back into any type of smoking device. You'll cause the weed to fly out and be lost forever.

6. Your dealer doesn't sell pot as a full time job
Chill out dude, he's got other things to do besides selling you a dime bag. He's on his way home from out of town, he's gotta sell some other kid a half, he's gotta get a ride from his friend, he's gotta do a million other things. Dealers are people - just like you! They have lives, and they're very busy people. They're out smoking a blunt, and your text for a measly ten bag can fucking wait - get used to it.

7. Stop torching the bowl
It's probably cherried. Just try to take a toke whenever a bowl (or whatever) is passed to you. If it doesn't hit, then light it. Don't torch the bowl when you don't need to - it's a waste. And ask your local experienced stoner about cornering, too.

8. Puff, Puff, Pass
Don't fuck up the rotation. It goes to the left. If you don't want to hit it, just pass it.

9. Did you really just say that in public?
If you're a newbie stoner and you're really baked and you're in public....just keep your mouth shut. DON'T start rattling off all of your paranoid thoughts...if you say "we're gonna get fucking arrested" while you're in line at Burger King, you're just giving it away. You might as well shout "I'M STONED ON MARIJUANA!". Just keep your mouth shut, and everything will be fine.

10. If you don't know, ask.
Whether it's "how do I hit this joint" or "I'm having trouble holding this roach, can you help" or "How do I pull the slide", don't be afraid to ask. You'll probably piss people off more by pretending you know what you're doing. You're new, we all understand that you have to learn, and we're all willing to teach you. Just be patient, be respectful, and be ready to get really baked.

DS Original: 7 Easy Ways to Conserve Bud

2010-01-23T16:28:00.006-05:00

1. Store your bud in a jar
It doesn't matter if you're picking up dime bags on the weekend or moving QPs on the daily - storing your nug in a jar will conserve it longer. There are two main reasons why a jar will conserve your nug:

Shake-no-more: keeping your bud in a jar greatly reduces the chance of your nug breaking apart into shake while it is being stored. If you keep your bud in a plastic baggy, any pressure or friction can cause beautiful buds to crush up into shake. This degrades the quality of your bud instantly. A jar will protect your bud keeping it in perfect nugs for longer.
Air tight: You know when you put a bag of weed in your drawer and find it a week later all dried up? Keeping your weed in jar will greatly extend the freshness of your nug, locking in moisture. Even if your bud starts to dry out (from excessive opening of the jar or age), you can put something moist (a wet piece of paper towel) in the jar overnight to rehydrate it.

Also, if you have a dedicated weed jar, you'll be less likely to misplace it (as opposed to a little baggy).

2. Don't roll joints or blunts
I know, I know, it's like telling Picaso not to use a brush. But seriously, if you're looking to get the most out of your weed, stay far away from joints and blunts. So many aspects of our beloved rolled items cause you to waste bud. A little bit escapes during the rolling process, a little bit more gets tossed with the roach...all of this precious bud which you could be smoking. Instead, opt for a glass piece. Bongs are certainly the most efficient, although bubblers and bowls also conserve pretty well.
Note: If you avoid rolling blunts and joints, you'll also save countless dollars that you would've spent on papers, blunt wraps, or cigars...and it'll be more money in your pocket to spend on weed!

3. Use a screen
Since you'll only be using a glass piece in order to make the most out of your bud, you should probably invest in some simple metal screens. Screens only cost a few dollars and can be found at any smoke shop (even tobacco stores that don't sell any marijuana paraphernalia will have metal screens). Screens will conserve by letting you keep hitting your weed until it is completely ash. No more worries about the bowl pulling through - the weed you used to eat will now be guaranteed to go to your lungs.

4. Try a one hitter or vaporizer
Let's face it - unless you're Chubbs or Tang, it probably only takes you a few tokes to get baked. A one hitter is a great option in this case, as it only takes a tiny bit of nug to pack, and it'll get you very stoned. When you're toking on your one hitter, remember to cap it after each hit. (Capping is when you cover both ends of the one hitter in order to extinguish the marijuana via lack of oxygen.)
If you have some cash to spend though, and you want to invest in the highest form of bud conservation, get a vaporizer. Vaporizers make use of all of the THC in your marijuana and thus require less to get you stoned as a stone.

5. Avoid moochers and inexperienced smokers
If you're trying to conserve weed, don't smoke with anyone unless they're throwing down or matching as well. It's really that simple. Smoking someone up for free is the equivalent of paying for their dinner - don't do it unless they're your girlfriend/boyfriend, sibling, or a celebrity.

Avoiding inexperienced smokers will also save you bud -often new smokers have no fucking idea what they're doing. This can lead them to volcano a bowl (accidentally blowing back into a pipe and causing the burning marijuana to fly out), ineffectively take hits (thus wasting precious smoke), or do some other stupid newbie shit. New smokers will also be more reluctant to throw down, and they'll probably have worse bud.

6. Spliffs
I know, I know, I said not to roll joints. But spliffs are a very different story. If you're tobacco friendly, just sacrifice a cigarette and roll yourself up a couple spliffs. I find about .5g and a pinch of tobacco make for a nice joint substitute. The combination of weed and tobacco is a great buzz. You'd be surprised how far you can make your bud go if it's all being rolled up into spliffs.

7. Shotgunning
In the weed world, there are many different definitions for "shotgunning". The one I'm referencing here is when Person A takes a toke, kisses Person B and simultaneously blows the smoke into their lungs. This takes practice, but once you know how to do it, it's fucking awesome. Perfect if you smoke with a significant other - for toke each from the bowl, you both get a hit!

DankSites Original: 5 great smoking games to play with your friends

2010-01-20T12:54:00.007-05:00

1. Chicago:
A simple concept, but a hard game to play. It goes down like this: You're smoking with your buddies, and someone says "Chicago!". If all members of the smoking circle agree, the game begins. Each smoker takes a hit of whatever is being passed (Chicago is most commonly played with blunts, so I'll use that in this example), and must hold their hit in until the blunt comes back to them. The smoker then exhales their original hit and immediately takes another one. If you exhale your hit before the blunt makes it back to you, you are out. The game continues until one person remains, or until everybody passes out/quits.

Warnings: Chicago is hard to play with more than 4-5 people, as just the time it will take a bunch of stoners to pass the blunt all the way around the circle is pretty long to hold in a hit. Try the game for the first time with a small group (like 3), and once you get the hang of it, move it to a larger group.
Do not play this game if you or any of the players have been smoking for less than 3 months.
This game is extremely difficult with a bong. Try it with a joint or a blunt first, then work your way up.

2. Strip Choker:
This game requires that each player has their own piece/joint/blunt - other than that, it's a simple game.
Each player simultaneously takes a toke of their smoke. All players proceed to hold in their hit as long as they can...because the first person to cough theirs out has to take off a piece of clothing.

Warning: Make sure you have some girls around before you suggest playing this.

3. Cup/The Penny Game
For this game you will need:
- A wide mouthed cup/jar
- A rubber band
- A sheet of toilet or tissue paper (rolling papers can also be used)
- A penny
- A blunt or a joint
First, cover the opening of the cup/jar with the tissue paper and secure it around the cup with a rubber band (Like how you'd put a drier sheet on the end of a sploof). Place the penny in the center of the tissue paper.
Then, spark up your blunt/joint. Each person takes two tokes without exhaling, and then burns a hole in the tissue paper with the burning end of the blunt, and exhales after passing the blunt. You must burn a hole each time you take your tokes. The goal of the game is to avoid causing the penny to fall into the cup. It's kinda like Jenga.

Warning: There is no set rule for what happens to the person to make the penny fall...so let your imagination run wild. Maybe make them eat the roach or something (or roll up the next blunt...).

4. Ash Bomber
This one is really simple: Roll up a jay or a blunt, spark it, and send it around the circle. However, keep it to one-hit-pass instead of puff-puff-pass. The first person to let the ash drop loses and is "out". Continue until there is a winner, who gets to finish off the jay/blunt.

5. Jammin'
This one is sorta a joke...but it'll get you fucked up fast. Each player must have their own smoking item (spliffs are suggested, to keep it authentic). The song "Jammin'" by Bob Marley is played, and each time you hear the word "jammin", you must take a hit.

Enjoy! And if you think of any other dank smoking games that you think deserve to be shared with the world, send them to DankSites@gmail.com!

They have live glass blowing DAILY and you can even have them blow a custom piece for you. Or, if you're more serious about your glass, you can lay down $100 for a one hour, one-on-one pipe making tutorial with a professional glass blower. They let you pick the color, and then they show you how to make it, press the bowl in, pop the carb, and even fume it with silver -- but you're doing it all!
The Bern Gallery doesn't have an official website, but you can check out their myspace or facebook for more details. You even get a discount on anything in the store if you (or a family member) are a Vermont resident!!
