My Daily Toke

Archive for the ‘Going Greeeen…’ Category

All this week on Anderson Cooper 360 he’ll be covering many aspects of marijuana, both medicinal and recreational, in a series of special segments titled “America’s High: The Case for and Against Pot.” In one of the segments Anderson will interview different people involved in the the medical marijuana world such as the owner of “The Farmacy”, which is one of the most well known dispensaries in Southern California, offering medicinal marijuana and and edibles for patients. In part of Mondays’ segment for the series, Anderson spoke with recording artist Melissa Etheridge about her battle with cancer and how medicinal marijuana helped her get through the debilitating side effects of her chemo, without having to resort to chemical laden pain prescriptions that are highly addictive and themselves carry a great deal of side effects.

I’m pretty fuckin pumped that people are finally beginning to give our cause some mainstream attention because every bit of awareness and truth that we can spread counts. Though im not in the slightest a fan of Ellen Degeneres Melissa Etheridge’s music I can completely respect her courage and effort that it takes to be a public and vocal supporter of marijuana. I’d like to send a big toke and exhale to Etheridge and her baby mama…yaw yaw

All consumers might want to stop using Zicam Nasal Gel and related products because according to the FDA it can be potentially very harmful to your sense of smell. By potentially very harmful we mean they think it can permanently fuck with with your sense of smell. The over-the-counter products contain zinc, an ingredient scientists say may damage nerves in the nose needed for smell.

The FDA is actually claiming that about 130 people have come forward reporting a loss of smell after using Matrixx Initiatives’ Zicam products since 1999. What the fuck Matrixx….are people letting Keanu Reeves manufacture nasal gel theses days, we know his career is hurting because of shit like lake house doing great and all but everyone has side jobs these days???

“Loss of the sense of smell is potentially life threatening and may be permanent,” said Dr. Charles Lee, of FDA’s compliance division. “People without the sense of smell may not be able to detect dangerous life situations, such as gas leaks or something burning in the house.”

Apparently Matrixx, the people who make Zicam have settled hundreds of lawsuits related to the use of its products in recent years but after looking on their site today they are still clearly telling consumers otherwise because this was posted on their site “No plaintiff has ever won a court case, because there is no known causal link between the use of Zicam Cold Remedy nasal gel and impairment of smell.” OK sure no one has actually “won a case” because you settle before they make it to trial…..Keanu Reeves is apparently making their statements as well because only Keanu would be puzzled by the task of thinking of a better way to form that lie….

This is really the reason that I dont fuck with any type of chemicals people!!! Our bodies are not made for crazy ass nasal gels…pack a bowl, toke away and your nose wont fucking run anymore…THE END

I know what you guys are thinking…..such a simple, thoughtless choice…NOT…open your mind for a sec and think about it…there are sooooo many different ways we use the word fuck in todays society and its becoming ever more accepted as common language. Just think 10 years ago, people weren’t saying “bitch” on tv, and now fucking Barbara Walter’s (whom we like despite her never-ending quest to be the oldest woman alive, no pun intended babs) is saying it on “The View.”

But on a less serious note “fuck” really is one of my favorite words and while i was enjoying some herbal refreshment earlier i thought about how bad a rap the word gets….so everyone take a second before u start this video and let yourself say it…if your at work just mumble and pretend its at your boss, but wherever you are allow yourself to let go and realize at the end of the day its just a word…so FUCK it and just breathe before you watch this video that will further expand your thoughts about the word FUCK

For those of you who aren’t familiar with them, Animal Collective are a group from Baltimore, Maryland, but found true noteriety when they moved to NYC. Allow yourself to embrace their neo-psychedelic sounds and it will almost feel as though you’re bathing in the deep drums and sharp jungle accents that line this song as well as their new album. The video has amazing colors and use of motion. I’m also glad that its not completely animatronics and that it uses live action for the most part. 

Warning: if watching after you’ve been tokin be prepared to experience new lines and colors and also don’t be frightened by the odd figures with red bubble legs towards the end of the video, those fuckers kinda startled me, but nonetheless its a great video thats sure to take you on a mental trip.
