Weed is magic and there are countless ways to enjoy it. Let’s take a look at how to roll specialty joints so you can take your game to the next level.
CROSS JOINT
Let the master (Seth Rogen) show us how to roll a cross joint. After watching Pineapple Express years ago, I became obsessed. You have to do it at least once. And it’s not nearly as difficult as it looks. Bring it to a party and enjoy being the most popular stoner there.
BRAIDED TWISTY JOINT
These are so clever and make me feel like Rihanna when I smoke them. I went through a lot of rolling papers learning how, but it’s sweet success when it finally comes together.
PIPE JOINT
Yes. It’s a joint shaped like a pipe. This would be an epic gift for a stoner friend. Then you can smoke it together. Win Win.
TULIP JOINT
These pretty joints aren’t just for girls. They hit hard and will be the life of the party.
KING SIZE JOINT
While the others are so unique, this is just a big ol’ fatty joint. Just as exciting and takes skill to roll.
Go get those rolling papers and start creating your own smokable art. Signing off with some mind blowing inspiration. Thanks for reading and be sure to let me know in comments if I’m missing any unique joints.
Stoners say yes to tasty treats. Let’s explore those extra special foods that can enhance your high, and make it last longer. You are one step closer to being the best stoner you can be.
DARK CHOCOLATE

It’s no accident that most edibles are chocolate based. Dark chocolate contains serotonin and tryptophan which promotes happiness naturally. For extreme bliss, make your next batch of edibles with cocoa of 70 – 85% for the most benefits.
MANGOES

Mangoes are downright delicious. As it turns out they can fast track your high, as well as extend it. Yes please! Because they contain a terpene called myrcene, they have something in common with cannabis. Try eating a mango (or smoothie) an hour before you get high. It will have prepared your cannabinoid receptors so you are ready for lift off.
NUTS

This already healthy snack is about to get more appealing. Nuts contain omega-3 fatty acid. This healthy fat binds to cannabinoids which help get them travel through your system faster. Go for walnuts as they pack the highest punch of omega-3.
BROCOLLI

If there was ever was a reason to eat your vegetables, this is it! Broccoli contains high levels of another terpene called beta-caryophyllene. It will bind to CB2 receptors in the same way cannabinoids do. This can reduce inflammation and relieve pain, allowing you to go fully mellow.
TEA

Green and black tea contain catechin, an antioxidant that binds to your CB1 and CB2 receptors. This can help you chill out and better enjoy your high. It could help you curb those munchies too.
COCONUT OIL

Coconut oil contains way more saturated fat than butter. This makes it the perfect base for your edibles. In the same amount of simmering time, the coconut oil will be more potent than butter. Not to mention that it’s got a bundle of health benefits and is versatile for cooking or baking.

This game is super addicting. You advance through the levels while training your ninja. There are punching bags, trampolines, balloons, and watermelons involved. Not only are the characters ridiculously adorable, but it’s oddly satisfying to punch and kick things with miniature ninjas.
This app is my life. I discovered it over a year ago and haven’t gone a day without using it. You can edit photo’s, draw, color, and connect with other artists. If you want to post your creations, you can create your own gallery (page) and build a following. The community of artists and photographers are so inspiring and kind. It’s my favorite app to get lost in while on edibles.
Connect with all your fellow stoners on this social network app. This is your (privacy protected) haven for all things weedy and green. Promote your business, shop, meet like-minded people, and learn new things about your favorite plant and strains.
This app is a pleasure for all people, but I have to think stoners appreciate it the most. A typical scenario for us is getting blazed and being unable to drive. No longer is pizza delivery your only option. For a small fee you can satisfy that intense craving for Italian, Thai, or even donuts. Place the order, pay, and before you know it your food is at your front door. This app is sent straight from heaven and I would kiss the creator if I could.
This is a fun way to personalize your text messages. You can drop emoji’s, stickers, strain info, and weed graphics straight into a text box. No more settling for the hidden meanings in regular emoji’s. Be a proud stoner and spice things up!
-Thanks for reading and let me know if I am missing out on any other stoner friendly apps!
You are happy and you know it. You appreciate everything you have just a little more with less focus on what you don’t have. You smile and laugh. Miraculously other peoples ignorance, anger, or unhappiness isn’t able to take hold of you either. It may be the ultimate stoner superpower. When you are content, those around you tend to be too!
2. YOU ARE MORE SOCIAL
You are just an all around friendlier person after you get your head right. We know weed can bring people together, and it can relax those with social anxieties. Less overthinking. More saying hello to strangers. This can certainly be life changing.
3. YOU FEEL MORE CONFIDENT
You spend less time worried about your appearance and more about being a better person. When you are less concerned about what people think of you, it can be liberating and infectious to those around you. You can use that newfound energy to do other things like volunteering, making new friends, and trying new experiences. Shine on!
4. YOU ARE MORE CREATIVE
Whether it’s painting, writing, photography, or cooking. Your craft is at its best when you are stoned. You have new ideas, take risks, and let go. This frees you up to create instead of thinking too much. You will likely have more fun with it too.
5. YOU SLEEP, WELL
Your bedroom is your sanctuary. You may even have twinkle lights hanging. It seems right to spend a full eight (or more) hours sleeping each night if you can. After all, without good sleep, we wouldn’t be able to wake and bake properly.
6. YOU FEEL LESS PAIN
Whether you are dealing with chronic pain, usual aches and pains, migraines, emotional pain, or grief. You feel better after getting high. You have a healthy appetite and are able to focus on something other than feeling bad. There is no substitute for that relief.
7. YOU SPREAD THE LOVE
You share your love of weed with others. It’s your mission to let others know how life changing it is and is the first thing you suggest when someone is sad or stressed out. You often wonder how anyone can live without it.
8. YOU DITCHED THE BOOZE
You are so content with how you feel when you’re high that you no longer want to drink. Mixing the two can certainly kill the good vibes. It’s a beautiful thing to say goodbye to the spins, sad toilet vomiting, and killer hangovers.
-Let’s keep spreading the word about the benefits of cannabis. It’s clear we are on the right track! Let me know in comments what your other stoner superpowers are.
Have we taken our love of weed too far when we name our pet something obviously stoner related? I say just far enough. I’ve done it four times. It makes me happy when I’m surrounded by everything Mary Jane, which was my first cats name. It fit her brilliantly with her gorgeous emerald eyes. Here’s some inspiration if you are looking for a name for your new best friend. Some are incognito if you want to pretend it was pure coincidence. I won’t say a word.
INDO: I start here because this is my cat’s name. She’s fluffy and gray. It came to me as soon as I met her because she’s the color of smoke. She’s sort of a legend around these parts.
SNOOP: Ok, this is my other cat’s name. He’s the most handsome and loving boy in the whole world. Clearly he needed an EPIC name.
BLAZE: This is a happy name. Perfection for any type of animal. Bonus points if they have red or orange hair.
CANNON: Can you get much higher? It’s extremely clever if you have a runner on your hands.
AUNT MARY: Slang. Unique and is a bit formal which is always funny for pet names. A pet so nice you named it twice.
HOUDINI: Because you escape reality. Voila! This one offers plausible deniability that it’s herb related, and would suit a cat well.
NUGGET: Slang for herb. Let’s reserve this name for the cutest of the cute because it’s so precious.
KUSH: Fun popular strain reference. If your pet is pleasantly plump, this is it! Imagine how cute their collar nametag will be.
JAY: If you love joints as much as I do, this seems like a no brainer for a male. He’ll need a bow tie for sure.
DURBAN: This just sounds like a pet name. Partial nod to the phenomenal strain Durban Poison. Mark my words, he or she will be the shot caller of the neighborhood.
BUDDHA: Slang. Classic. This would fit so many animals and would be a good conversation starter. It could be your little secret.
HYDRO: Alluding to the method of growing indoor flower hydroponically. If your pet really likes water it would be sheer genius.
TWIST: Slang for a joint. He or she he will be a total badass.
CHIEF: Reference to smoking herb and suitable for all animals. A handkerchief will be their signature ensemble.
FROSTY: Another fierce strain. Also a reference to the white crystally goodness on nugs. If you have a white pet this would be pure gold.
GOO: Indica strain. It’s unusual and sweet at the same time. I think I found my next cat’s name.
YODA: Jackpot if you are a Star Wars and weed fanatic. Yoda OG is a first-class strain as well. This pet will likely be infamous. Get their Instagram ready.
DOJA: Uncommon slang for herb. Only your most accomplished stoner friends will catch this one.
ROCKET: If you’ve got a track star, this would be just right. It’s also a clear indication that you may like to get high.
DIESEL: The name of a wicked strain. It’s a more common name for pets, and would be a fantastic name for a large dog.
MUNCH: When you’ve got a case of the munchies. Dual purpose if your pet lives at the food dish.
CHINO: Slang for weed. Memorable and fun. Prepare for some mischief from this little one.
GASPER: An old school term for joint. I’m sure it will start a trend.
KUMAR: One half of the hysterical stoner duo Harold & Kumar. This pet is destined for greatness.
DAZE: Last but certainly not least. One syllable which is great for a dog.
-If you name your pug Nugget, be sure to let me know so I can die happy. I hope you took away a few ideas. Did I miss a great name? Let me know in comments.
Obviously marijuana is one of our best friends. It helps us relieve anxiety, boost creativity, relax, sleep, eat, and simply have more fun in life. Just the sight of it makes us giddy. The smell of it is heavenly. We are always looking forward to our next high. And no matter how many times we smoke, we never get sick of it. We’ll also go to the end of the earth to find it. That’s true love.
WE LIKE EACH OTHER

We forgive and forget differences when we share a love of weed. We mingle. We listen. We speak rationally. We get to know people with much different beliefs and views than our own because we have something key in common. We don’t judge. No stoner can be that bad, right? This opens us up to new friends and experiences which is a beautiful thing.
WE GET BAKED BEFORE MOVIES

We don’t understand the concept of seeing movies sober. That’s just silly. This is a tradition that’s not going away anytime soon. You’ll find us in the concession line desperately trying to decide between Skittles and Sour Patch Kids. Being high enhances the experience, whether it’s a 3D action flick or a quirky comedy. I personally go full edible for movies I’m really excited about. The high kicks in shortly after the movie starts. Nothing better.
WE PREFER TO SMOKE BEFORE MEALS

This can be a tricky one when you are surrounded by non-smokers. Boo! Stoners all know that the meal they are about to enjoy is going to taste so much better if they can hit the pipe a few times first. Headed to Chipotle? In my household, we know what comes first. Some of us take it further, getting high before a coffee or a small snack. I think we can all agree that everything is just better when you’re stoned and food is at the top of the list.
WE ARE MELLOW

We are more relaxed than the average bear. Less of the bullshit is going to get to us. If there is a delay, we aren’t upset and uptight. If the car doesn’t start, it won’t ruin our entire day. If our order comes out wrong, we know exactly how to handle it without making a scene. Better yet, we are more open to spontaneous fun and trying new things. Life is too short to be angry all the time and nobody knows that better than stoners.
WE DON’T TRY TOO HARD

We are often low maintenance. This seems to be especially true of the stoner ladies. We don’t spend hours grooming and dressing ourselves like other women. We don’t pile on the makeup and cover up who we really are. For the most part, we just want to be comfortable. This is not to say that we don’t have style. Of course we do! I think this speaks to the level of confidence we have in ourselves which is such a beautiful thing.
WE GET SHIT DONE

For some reason non-smokers tend to think we sit around all day and watch TV drooling. Nothing could be further from the truth. We get up, get ready, go to work and pay our bills. The same way everyone else does. We don’t slack on our responsibilities just because we enjoy getting high. In our circles, things actually get done because of weed. New ideas are brought to life. A socially awkward person can open up and face a fear. I feel good about saying that we are not lazy, and may in fact be overachievers in disguise.
WE ARE ANIMAL LOVERS

It seems that a lot of us have pets. Multiple pets. Cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, snakes, lizards, turtles. It’s a common theme. We are a compassionate bunch, and tend to rescue animals in need. We stand up against animal abuse. We know that all animals are innocent creatures and we are happy to love and take care of as many as possible.
WE LOSE LIGHTERS, A LOT

It’s true of myself and every stoner I know. You had three lighters earlier, committed to keeping them in one spot. It’s officially time to spark the joint and they are nowhere to be found. You frantically look everywhere. It’s the hunt of a lifetime. Each time we tell ourselves it’s the last time, but somehow the hunt continues. I suppose it’s an unexplainable mystery much like socks going missing from the dryer. What can you do? Buy 4-packs and hope for the best.
WE HAVE A FAVORITE SMOKING METHOD

While vape pens seem to be taking over the world, I still prefer a joint. I roll them up, carry them around, give them to people on their birthdays. I love smoking them with friends, and enjoy smoking them alone just as much. We all have our favorite way to smoke. Bongs, pipes, it’s all fun! Or perhaps you don’t even smoke. If you dive into the edible pool, and that’s all you need, more power to you. I’m willing to try your way, if you are occasionally willing to try mine.
I think this list proves it; we are downright exceptional people. We are accepting, confident, love animals, and know how to let go and have a good time. Let’s get high to that.
Because everyone wants to be the best stoner they can be, right? I was sixteen the first time I got stoned. A friend and I smoked out of a makeshift Dr. Pepper can and it was heavenly. I took a few hits at best. We laughed, ate cookies, and then watched Oprah. Rebels in the making. My anxieties were gone and the world was a little brighter. Since then, I have smoked nearly every day because it simply makes life more fun. Over the years, the options on how to get high have increased exponentially. No more soda cans or carved out apples. I’m also lucky to live in Oregon where it’s legal for recreational sale and use. Needless to say, I am one happy stoner chick. Here are a few ways to take it to a new level;
Vaporizing: This has been around a while and trust me I’ve explored all the options. The EZ Vape, PAX, and multiple pens. My favorite is the Volcano. You’ve all heard of it, and few can afford it. I have never owned one but I’ve used friends. This is a melt in the couch experience. You shred the herb, put it inside, then hook the device up to a plastic bag that inflates with vapor. This is an intense high. Personally, I was stoned for hours and loved every second. Perfect for kicking back and watching movies, or hanging with friends. If you have the money to spare, or win the lotto, don’t hesitate to treat yourself! Then invite me over please.
Edibles: I have eaten many edibles over the years. I still get excited every time I eat weed. This is my go to for work, or family functions. I occasionally buy them at dispensaries but there is nothing more satisfying than making your own. It’s cheaper too! I have learned through trial and error the best way to make cookies, muffins, or whatever your little stoner heart desires, is coconut oil. Put in equal amounts coconut oil to shredded herb in a crockpot for at least 6 hours. I prefer the low setting to avoid burning. You simply stir it a few times while its cooking and strain the oil through cheesecloth when you are done. A few layers of cheesecloth will keep all the herb out. The oil should be bright green. Then store it in a mason jar in the fridge until you cook or bake with it. Word of advice- Always test your edibles for potency before sharing them with anyone. Second word of advice- the crockpot method will make your place smell like a marijuana grow house.
Dabbing: Holy crapola! This is a fun one. Not something I would do daily as it’s a lot of work. You basically vaporize wax concentrate (torch heated) and inhale the vapors from a rig. The rig is similar to an old school water bong. There are tons of great videos on YouTube if you are beginner. Beginners should be cautious as this high is fierce. You will cough, you may cry, and you will trip hard. Yes please!
Wake N’ Bake: My favorite. For those who have not smoked right after waking up in the morning, know that you are truly missing out. On your next day off, smoke first. Coffee second. For some reason this is always the best high of the day. We’re all groggy when we first wake up. Or at least I am. Getting baked amplifies that hazy feeling. Depending on what strain you smoke, this could make you lazy or it could give you energy. And the good news is, this applies to naps as well.
ABV: Already. Been. Vaped. If you vaporize often, you know you end up with used brown weed. Instead of throwing it out, try saving it in a jar. I promise it has not lost all of it’s potential. You can use it for making coconut oil. Or butter, if you prefer. I tried olive oil once and it worked well. It won’t be as potent as using shredded fresh flower but they will get you high. The oil/butter will obviously be darker green (almost brown) with this method.
