Just Smokin
Whether it’s poolside, camped out by an exotic new beach in the Caribbean, or just grilling outside my own house I will be representin’ this summer and so should you! The more we rep our cannabis activist, supporter, user, and lover brand the more we normalize marijuana and the better our chance for legalization! Yes, we are telling on ourselves a bit, but who cares? It’s just weed.
Here are some my favorite weed lover accessories this year:

Cannabis Leaf Float
Nothing says Free the Leaf more than an actual weed leaf floating in the pool. Just love this float so much actually! Last year, I was chasing my giant swan float up and down the beach all day. That mofo just doesn’t understand the “sit” command. And getting on…forget about it. I swallowed way to much water falling off of that swan. But this year I’ll be sitting pretty in my marijuana leaf doughnut/tire style float. My favorite cause all you have to do it stick your butt in and you’re good to go. I picked up mine from Urban Outfitters for $50 bucks. (only available online)
Another less expense option on the floats that I saw while searching was this one in the link for under $30 with free shipping at Amazon. But since it’s more of a raft I don’t really like it, can already see myself sliding off but to each his own and maybe it’s perfect for you.
Cannabis Leaf Nail Charms and Chokers
Much less out there than the in your face float, these nails charms still scream, “I’m a stoner.” And totally reps our cannabis activist goals! The chokers are super sexy too:
All from Bong Beauties. Where you can also find a ton of really cute apparel like weed leaf leggings, body suits and t-shirts. I know for a fact everybody loves it when I rock my nail charms on the gram but no apparel real compares to these..
Kush Aviators
From Spencers and at $12.99 I can’t think of a better way to catch some rays this summer. Well except for grilling out with a:
Marijuana Leaf Apron
Cause it’s not really a BBQ if there’s no weed right? So instead of rocking some food, fake abs or a dumb ass quote such as, “May the Fork be with You,” on your apron. Let’s grill and tell em’ what we’re really on. Which is relaxing with Mary Jane and grilling out in preparation for the munchies to come. Highly (literally) recommend you order this from Amazon sooner than later because it’s an import so it takes a few weeks to deliver.
There are truly so many cute and fun ways to be representin’ if I missed any good ones let me know in the comments below. Hope you all have a litty summer and don’t forget to subscribe , follow and retweet so you and your stoner fam stay up to date on all my shenanigans.
Do you ever notice the littlest things when your high? Yesterday I saw my first butterfly of the year and if I wasn’t smoking I probably wouldn’t have seen it. It was sitting on the building next door and was of similar color. It got me thinking, what do butterflies do all day? You know besides fly and sit on things…I don’t know but I do know it’s very relaxing to smoke and watch the world around us. With the weather being nice now and summer coming soon I invite you to get outside and free your mind one puff at a time.
As for where, when and how? I’ve got a few suggestions :

Hiking
And when I say hiking I do mean walking around and smoking a lot of weed in the woods. When hiking however one must come prepared. Have all your blunts or joints pre-rolled before you get there. Or at least before you get out the car because it can be windy and there is no greater cannabis crime than losing your weed. Bring snacks, sandwiches, water and bug spray. You don’t want to be 2 hours away from civilization with no food when the munchies kick in. And you didn’t hear it here but get off the trails. I know, I know, they say you can’t, your not suppose to…blah blah blahh…get off the trails, just watch out for poison ivy. One of my favorite kick it spots involves jumping a fence hiking about a mile in from there to the top of this waterfall. And when I sit there and smoke with the sound of the water, the view that makes you feel like your on top of the world…that’s when you realize that it’s these little moments that we live for.
Jet Ski/Kayak/Boating
Water is just one of those things I love and combining it with my other love, Mary Jane, well that’s the best! Here’s the trick to this. In a boat or jet ski you’ll have a water tight stash spot somewhere by the steering wheel/handle usually.
In a kayak you won’t but either way I highly recommend putting your pre-rolled blunts/joints in a ziplock baggie. Then if you have the stash, put it in there too and if not just secure it in a pocket or in my case the inside lining of my bikini top. You don’t want your weed to get wet. Then get out there. Make some waves, circle around and hit those same waves you made. Trust me it is so fun! Then cut the engine. Just sit out there like a buoy and spark up. Your probably thinking why not just smoke on the beach? Well I’m not saying don’t do that too. But try this out, I’m not sure why but when you smoke on the water and you are swaying with the waves it feels like you’re on air.
Drive-In
There aren’t many left out there but they are out there. There is only one in my area. To find one in your area check out this directory where you can search by state: Drive in Movies.
So picture it. You and your significant other sitting in the car in the dark. The windows are tinted and you have some dank ass herb while watching a horror or two? What do you thinks gonna happen?
Truly it feels like you’re in a movie watching a movie hot boxing to the max. You can go in your PJ’s if you want. They sell the munchies right there or you can bring your own. I’m not sure if all drive-ins do it but mines shows two movies. It’s a private setting for the most part. They are always located in very dark areas so you can see the stars on the screen and in the sky. And maybe you get a little lucky too (if you know what I mean).
And last but not least…
Camping
There is no better why to connect with nature than going out to the middle of no where, lighting a campfire and smoking some ganja. Being off the grind, with no cell service, no neighbors, nothing except nature and all of it’s beauty is a perfect setting to inhale nature’s medicine, clear your mind and free your soul.
The question isn’t will my kids smoke weed, it’s when and how? Because we all know it’s inevitable. My hope however is that the new generation strictly vapes. Because vaping is healthier. And we want the best for our kids don’t we?
Read MoreThese are the facts, cannabis isn’t bad for you, it’s actually great and has lots of benefits. But the act of smoking is. When one smokes harsh toxins are released that can damage your lungs and cause cancer. Haven’t you ever felt like a blunt was harsh on you?
I’ve smoked a lot of blunts, and still do. But I’ve switched to hemp wraps instead of tobacco blunts because all those Phillies, Swishers and Garcia Vegas were getting too harsh on my throat. Though I do see a significant difference with hemp wraps, there are motivating reasons for the new generation to want to vape instead of smoke:
Vaping is the way to go for sure. But this how I see things going down with my kids. They are going to want to try smoking. Their mother is Smokette after all and they’ll probably try to smoke my stash.
My plan? To have plenty of hemp wraps to roll, hemp wick to light and vape pens to “smoke” right there along side my stash that definitely includes cannabis oils. Because we can’t control other people, not even our own kids, but we can lead by example, preach and share healthier pothead habits. And most importantly, love them no matter what.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the stoner mommies out there and as always stay lit!
Is it how she makes you smile, her intoxicating scent or just how you feel when your together? What is it about Mary Jane? I swear I’m in love with her and as her popularity grows so is everyone else too!
Read MoreI don’t live in a recreational state yet. But things are changing and it’s mind blowing how fast it’s actually moving. How more and more people are giving Mary the thumbs up! Even my Dad, who believes a frying egg is your brain on pot, voted yes for recreational marijuana in our primary a few weeks ago. In fact, he was the one who told me about the vote in the first place. “You better go vote,” he said. Of coarse I did and spread the word. I was even sending mass text messages the day of as a reminder:
Vote Yes 4 Weed!
Everybody pretty much said in their own words, “I got you! ” or “Most def.” Actually, I’m pretty sure more people voted yes on marijuana than actually voted for a governor. And it came as so surprise that the candidates that will be moving on through the election also support the legalization of marijuana. Which is so awesome!
It’s not exactly where we need to be yet. For example, on the day of the election the thought of standing outside the polling place for a few hours with signs and stickers did cross my mind. But then the thought of being harassed by the police and definitely searched.. and that the polling place was a school…then me with my track record.. It just wasn’t worth the risk. But progress is progress and the vote passed with a YES!
Sooner or later we’ll get out of the nose bleed section:
Truth is, I like the nose bleed seats better because up there you can get away with things, like smoking a blunt. But once we go recreational I’m thinking I’ll be vaping right behind home base.
Don’t do what I do, they say I’m a bad influence and all, but already in the grocery store when that shopping cart road rage kicks in…I’ll sneak puff or two of my cannabis oil cartridge..lol! And man does it really chill me out! To the point where ramming the dumb ass who’s blocking the entire aisle while in la la land with absolutely no manners or concern for the rest of the world, doesn’t seem important anymore. That says a lot right there. Even though never have I actually rammed anyone with a shopping cart, well not on purpose anyway. To chill, hit a vape and remove the thought is a blessing. If we all just passed blunts (or vape pens) it’s possible we’d find world peace. No, I’m not running for Miss America, but maybe world peace can be a reality? And if is, trust me, it’ll all be thanks to Mary Jane!
Want to hear a crazy fact? Even evolution has naturally selected her to be our soul mate. For real, all creatures, except bugs, have an endocannabinoid system housed in their body. (That’s why I could get my dogs high.)
This system was first seen in sea squirts 600 million years ago. The endocannabinoid system uses the cannabinoids in cannabis to give us that good high feeling, but the cultivation and preservation of the endocannabinoid system by the evolutionary process has nothing to do with weed. Evolution has selected the endocannabinoid system on it’s own. Which means cannabis must make living here on earth easier. Since that’s why life cultivates and retains all mutations. And it just so happens life has chosen weed! Which makes a lot of sense because there’s just something about Mary and she’s sparkling in the limelight right now!
Spring has sprung and 4/20 is right around the corner which means we’re going to start smoking outside, beach side, poolside and of coarse at all those rocking summer fests and concerts. Weed is legal in a lot of places now too! But we can still get into some trouble if caught smoking it in public so it’s time to go into stealth mode! Here are some of the sneakiest, most unidentifiable pipes and stashes on the market:

My new favorite toy! Picked this one up at The Daily High Club. Looks like just an anklet, a must have at the beach for style purposes alone. But as your laying there catching some rays, listening to the sound of the waves crashing along the shore this little beauty can provide you with a smooth rip of our favorite girl, Mary, and no one would be the wiser. The metal part is the bowl. When wearing it, it can serve as a stash too. And you just roll the last bead back to find the mouth peace as seen here:
The danklet comes in 3 colors; red, white and black. It is hand-made from premium materials and for $8.99 it’s a steal! While your still at The Daily High Club you can also go pick yourself up a ….
Lighter Pick
With a built in odor and waterproof protective stash capable of holding 1/4 ounce of herb. It has a 2 inch retractable pick to clear out the one hitter that’s included. And on the bottom you can fit a mini bic lighter (not included)! It comes in green, black, pink, silver, blue or orange. The best part, it fits in your pocket! For me it’s a perfect all in one tool for an incognito sesh! Pick it up with the danklet at the club or directly from the source: Lighter Pick. The price ends up being about same so it’s really up to you where you’d like to buy it.
Lollipop Pipe
Also at The Daily High Club. This is just the cutest and makes me think of my grandfather who always told me to smoke all the weed so they have no evidence to used against you. Well this takes it one step further. I can’t say I’ve tried it yet, but I fully intend to. It’s a fully functional pipe that you can eat when your done with it. Talk about leaving no evidence, pretty cool!
Hi-Liter Pipe
This ones not great for smoking on the down low but it is great at hiding in plain sight. Throw it in your car, purse, where ever. It’s got a great chance at not being detected as anything more than a simple highlighter. You can pick one up at The Pirate Girl Smoke Boutique and while you there grab yourself a lipstick pipe too:
Lipstick Pipe
Smoking this 2 inch discreet metal pipe can look like your simply reapplying some lipstick with the mouth piece being on the right end! They also have these at Smoke Day along with a bunch of other really nice pipes you might like checking out.
Eleaf Mini iStick
Love this one because it’s tiny. As you can see it fits in the palm of my hand. Really these cannabis oil cartridges have become a real stealth favorite for me. I have been at the grocery store shopping, secretly hitting my vape and no one has noticed. Eleaf has different models too that can completely hide the cartridge so you can’t see it like you can here. And you also have what I like to call deniability. “It’s an e-cigarette officer.”
For more tips on dealing with the cops check out one my favorite articles that I wrote back in June 2017, “ DashCam and Waze to Avoid Legal Ramifications.” I hope everyone goes out and enjoys the good weather this spring and summer to come. Smoke a lot of weed on 4/20, stay safe and as always stay lit!
Read MoreYoga for me is about healing.
Yoga teaches you so much about yourself and how your body and breath are connected. It heals your body and mind. Similarly but also in a completely different way from Mary Jane. You have to do a lot more work when it comes to yoga. But when I’m “moody,” it probably means I’ve been away from my mat for too long or am in need of a blunt. Which is why it comes as no surprise that people are combining the two. I have for years (secretly of coarse) but then again I do almost everything a little stoned, you know…
Now weed and yoga is a trending topic. Lots of states are going recreational and me and hopefully you have our fingers crossed that in the near future the entire country will follow in suit. Regardless, right now in Venice, California you can go have a yoga sesh at a Lit Yoga class where you begin class with a tea and cannabis ritual. In Aspen Canyon Ranch, Colorado you can go on a Ganja Yoga retreat. It’s such an exciting time to be alive!
With all that said here are my: Tips when it comes to Weed and Yoga.
Namaste.
Damian Marley knows how to send a message of true poetic justice. So many of us have been criminalized and prosecuted for cannabis possession, sale and “manufacturing” and some have even served time. Time because nature is being called illegal. And we know when that happens justice does not exist. But here’s a message from the youngest of Bob Marleys son’s :
Read More
He said the marijuana facility would turn
“a negative place with a negative vibe into something positive”
Some real rehabilitation unlike what the prison was used for prior. For more on the grow facility visit The Guardian
In addition to his full-scale cannabis farm in California, Damian has also recently opened a 3,000 square foot dispensary called Stony Hill (named after this new album) in downtown Denver, Colorado (1269 Elati St, Denver, CO 80204 to be exact).
And has his own line of cannabis oil cartridges called Speak Life OG being sold at 99 High Tides and several other dispensaries.
Named after this new song off his Stony Hill album:
In all Damian Marley has done he is definitely Speaking Life! I pray we all take notes.
One Love.
Flowers-Give her the Flowers she REALLY Wants:
Cannabis has got to be the sexiest flower and there are actually some strains that are known to improve your sex life. For example, Girl Scout Cookies has a mood-boosting high that is known to cause arousal. So if your on your fifth date with someone, looking to cook them a romantic candle lit dinner and have a great deep conversation. This strain will transport you somewhere hot and exotic. The perfect combination to take things to the next level, if you know what I mean. (5 Cannabis Strains For 5 Specific Types of Sex)
And how you wrap those flowers can be very important too! If your in the LA area I highly recommend stopping by the Hitman Coffee Shop, 659 South La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90036 and grab your Valentine a heart shaped blunt by the infamous Weavers.
The Hitman Coffee Shop will also be having a popup shop Feb 10-15th featuring artistic blunts, pendents, paintings, pipes and more. Maybe something to do on Valentine’s day or at least a great stop to pick up that heart blunt!
Chocolate-Cannabis Infused Chocolate Covered Strawberries (or bananas work too):
There’s not a girl in this world who doesn’t appreciate a man who cooks! And lucky for those who don’t cook, to make infused chocolate covered strawberries isn’t rocket science.
First things first, you need to make some cannabis coconut oil. I recommend 1 cup coconut oil to 1 cup cannabis but you can add more cannabis to make it stronger or less for a lesser effect. Whatever you choose this is how to make it : (Directions complements of Leafly)
Infused Oil Directions: (It’s like making cannabutter but with coconut oil)
On a side note here, once you have your oil you can use it for so many things. Even a lubricant in the bedroom, seriously!
Chocolate Covered Strawberries Directions:
But now back to the strawberries. The oil is the most time consuming part of this recipe. Once you have your infused coconut oil all you need is some chocolate chips and some some strawberries.
2 Steps left:
1. Melt your chocolate chips and infused oil together. You can do stove top or microwave (I think stove top is better, but to each his own). Once melted let it sit til it reaches room temp.
2. Dip the strawberries (or sliced bananas, I actually like those better) into the melted chocolate. And stick them in the frig.
Alternative Option:
You can go even simpler and make some Canna Lovers Popcorn to munch on for the “Nexflix and Chill” style date!
Love-Setting the Mood :
Finally the love. Just by remembering the day I’d say you pretty much got the love covered! What to do on the day, where’s it all going to go down?…well damn there are so many options. The classic dinner and a movie is always great ( just don’t go see the new fifty shades of grey, it sucks, they all suck) Laying outside looking up at the stars, classic romantic make out point stuff. Renting a hotel room, staying home?? It’s up to you. Like I said doing anything your pretty much good.
But if your trying to go above and beyond when you do end up back indoors eventually, light up a terp infused candle. As I explained in my last post Entourage in Full Effect these candles magnify the therapeutic benefits of the cannabis, in other words they get you higher! And who doesn’t wanna do that?
If you do a hotel or stay home, nothings sexier than a bubble bath for two and if you just happen to have yourself a CBD bath bomb that bubble bath can be oh so much better! With some intense relaxation that just melts all stress away.
By now I’m sure we are getting the picture here? Infused strawberries (maybe with some champagne), Terpene infused candle lit CBD bubble baths, heart shaped blunts containing a strain known for arousal?? Yeah, your getting it. Do one of them, do them all, just do something, even if it’s nothing on my stoner guide. That’s all a girl really wants. And if your single? This advice is still good. There’s way more room in the bathtub when your alone and sharing is something I’ve never been good at anyway, so why do you have to be? Spoil yourself!
Hope this post helps and you have yourselves a highly successful Valentines Day! ( Feb 14th)
Aromatherapy has been around for at least the past 6000 years. And as we know from my post, “There’s a lot more to Weed than just Smoking it,”there’s an aromatherapy aspect to cannabis thanks to the predominate terpenes in each strain. So what if you could light a terp infused candle the next time you light up for a sesh?

Thanks to Kush Candles now you can!
Kush Candles were created with the cannabis community in mind. Each candle has a unique combination of essential oils and terpenes to truly capture the essence of each strain.
Terpenes are great for aromatherapy. For example, Myrcene, known to not only help the effects of THC take effect more quickly, but also allows your body to absorb more of it! Because the entourage effect magnifies the therapeutic benefits of the cannabis plant’s individual components so that the medicinal impact of the whole plant is greater than the sum of its parts.
Kush Candles are infused with the 4 most commonly found terpenes in cannabis:
Which can find in their Purple Haze or Maui Wowie candles.
Which you can find in their Blue Dream or White Widow candles.
Which you can find in their Lavender Jones or OG Kush candles.
Which you can find in their Pineapple Express or Peach OG candles.
And with Valentines day around the corner I couldn’t think of a better way to set the mood than with a terpene infused candle. You can find a great article for more information on terpenes here on Leafly. But definitely put your order in with Kush Candles sooner than later because I ordered my white widow and grandaddy purp candles for Christmas and they did not arrive on time. Another option for terp candles comes from Hemper, their aroma candles collection is about to launch but you can order candles right now here from Hemper for just $9.99 which is cheaper than Kush Candles set at $14.99 (both plus shipping). Not sure how fast Hemper ships but I’d keep them in mind to reach an entourage in full effect. Be sure to check out my Stoners Guide to Valentines day on February 1st here at Smokette.net!
And as always stay lit!
Politics is one of those things, along with religion and sex, that can be very controversial to discuss. However every now and then exceptions have to be made and there is currently a bill that we, the cannabis smoking / supporting/ advocates of this country, need to actively put our unalienable American rights to work for: The Marijuana Justice Act of 2017
Read More
With life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in mind, The Marijuana Justice Act, in relation, will put an end to federal vs state on the issue of cannabis. The problem we are currently facing is while states are currently legalizing the use, sale and cultivation of the plant that’s going to change the world, Cannabis. Federally it remains on the controlled substance list and is illegal and will always be illegal on the federal level unless this bill becomes law.
The bill was introduced to the Senate on August 1, 2017 by Senator Cory Booker from the state of New Jersey. And as of December 18, 2017, Senator Ron Wyden from the state of Oregon became it’s first co-sponsor.
The bill, also known as S.1689, will take marijuana off the federal controlled substances list. Making the possession, sale and cultivation federally legal. Allowing those with possession charges to expunge their records, those currently incarcerated on marijuana charges to file appeals and most importantly will put an end to marijuana arrests in this country. Which, if you have ever been there, is completely unjust. To say cannabis is a controlled substance is ridiculous. A more appropriate title would be to call it simply a plant, which it is, and that’s not even giving it any justice either. This plant is a gift from above, there’s a lot more to weed than just smoking it. And to put someone in prison for a plant is in complete conflict with our unalienable American rights. If nature is illegal then freedom does not exist and that’s why we must get political!
Currently our bill is just sitting on capitol hill: (Iol)
But we can help get The Marijuana Justice Act of 2017 passed if we really try. How? By calling your states congressmen and asking them to support and co-sponsor S.1689.
You can search by name or state and a phone number to call will be right there. I plan to contact mine but I am just one person and so I urge you to do the same. The Marijuana Justice Act of 2017 would fix this country in so many ways. Why not here it from the man who wrote it in the first place Senator Cory Booker:
We must stop Jeff Sessions' backwards actions. There is now great urgency to pass the Marijuana Justice Act to legalize marijuana on the federal level.
Now is the time. Call your Senator. https://t.co/Cr8FZjITWI pic.twitter.com/9OMTz3VMjN
