Life with Marijuana Legalized


Don't legalize weed? Ok so this hilarious video makes some sarcastic yet some oddly true points in regards to what marijuana legalization would be like. Would prices of marijuana rise with legalization? Maybe, but they could also potentially drop. Regardless a little bump in price would probably make it all the worthwhile to be able to enjoy it wherever you please without having to hide in the "cannabis closet" or constantly looking over your shoulder. Would legalization lead to a lesser quality of weed in terms of potency, taste, smell, etc.? Possibly. Mass produced weed that isn't as potent might be more available but there will ALWAYS be great bud out there. These businesses will want to give their customers/patients the best quality weed for their recreational or medicinal use. They will not sacrifice quality otherwise who will purchase from them? With legalization there will be all types of quality bud available, from dirt to the most potent strains of kush, it is just a matter of what the customer can afford and what they prefer. So no, there won't just suddenly be one general strain of weed available to everyone. The biggest truth in this video is that smoking with your parents or the newbie might be a little odd but hey I'm sure it would lead to some funny stories and good times! Legal or not, stay medicated!

Wake & Bake Wednesday


Kid Cudi - Just What I Am

So for Wake & Bake Wednesday we decided to roll with another Kid Cudi song because he is just killing it right now and I'm anticipating a great album when Cudi drops Indicud in early 2013. Kid Cudi released this track from his new album in August 2012. He released the music video for the single about a week ago on November 6th and I can tell you I have been hitting the repeat button ever since. King Chip, a long time friend and collaborator of Kid Cudi, is also on the track and I think he does a great job complementing Cudi's flow. Cudi, who directed the video himself, gave it an interesting psychedelic/trippy affect with a modern party scene vibe. So grind up some dank sativa this morning and enjoy this masterpiece from Cudi. Stay Medicated!

Successful Smokers? We Want to Hear From You!








Do you like to indulge and smoke weed but also have an inner desire to succeed at whatever it is you do? Maybe you smoke to induce creativity when it comes to your passion or hobby? Whether it be music, art or fashion? Or maybe just an end of the day smoke after a long day of skate, snowboard or surf sessions? Or just a mind and body relaxer after a hard day at work? There are plenty of us out there and I personally can relate as marijuana use has helped me on a creative aspect in regards to designing as well as being motivational....the exact opposite of what society made me believe it would do to me. If you can relate and believe that you can still be successful at what you do and what you are passionate about while also indulging in the use of marijuana then we would like to hear from you! Whether it's just a short story about what you do and how marijuana helps you in that regard, photos/videos of you skateboarding or snowboarding, links to your music or band page, or photos of your artwork we want to hear from you! E-mail us any materials and some information on yourself and what you are passionate about and we may feature you on our blog! We may even request to use your photos on our new website which will be up and running in a couple months! So send us some shit and stay medicated!  

EMAIL ANY INFO TO GREENOMIXCLOTHING@GMAIL.COM 
with subject "Successful Smoker"


(We do not condone the use of marijuana while driving, on the job, or where full focus and attention is needed. We do believe marijuana should be legal, but when and where to indulge is common sense! Let's make a good name for ourselves so we can rid society of those "pothead" stereotypes.)

Colorado and Washington LEGALIZE Marijuana!




So last night Barack Obama was re-elected for a second term. Important for us marijuana activists because we all know Romney wasn't going to do the industry any good. More importantly was the legalization of marijuana for recreational use in Colorado and Washington! This will definitely get the discussion going in regards to possibly ending marijuana prohibition for good. Washington and Colorado could potentially provide the blueprint on how to properly run a legal marijuana industry. If all goes well other states may follow suit and full legalization could be in the near future. Either way this is a big step in the right direction and an overall win for the good guys! Congratulations Colorado and Washington I will be visiting real soon. Stay recreationally medicated!

Ben Harper - Burn One Down

We figured this would be a very fitting song for the morning after the election in which two states, Washington and Colorado, legalized marijuana for RECREATIONAL use. Not decriminalized. Not medical marijuana. Recreational use for adults. Legalized. These marijuana initiative outcomes were just as interesting than the Presidential election itself. All in all a big step towards full legalization and a big blow to marijuana prohibition. So roll up, spark up and enjoy! Stay medicated!

Successful Smokers of the Day





BARACK OBAMA & BILL CLINTON


With the 2012 Election tomorrow and the potential for major changes in regards to marijuana laws, we thought it was only fitting to have a dual 'Successful Smoker' of the day for Obama and Clinton. Look at Clinton's face in the video when he claims he "didn't inhale". LMFAO what a blatant lie! At least Obama had the courage to share that he did inhale saying, "That was the point." Not only did Obama inhale, he even had started a few pot-smoking trends within his group of friends who were referred to as "the Choom Gang" aka the marijuana smokers. The first Obama inspired pot-smoking trend was referred to as "TA" or "total absorption" in which if you exhaled prematurely (as Clinton claims) you were assessed a penalty and you were skipped the next time the joint came around the circle. The Choom Gang was against wasting good bud. Obama also came up with "Roof Hits" in which the "Choom Gang" members would tilt their heads back in a fish-bowled car and inhale the leftover smoke from the roof of the vehicle. Lastly, Obama was also know for his "interceptions" in which he would break into the circle out of order and snatch up a few extra hits. Interesting enough, most of the members of the "Choom Gang" were good athletes and students who actually went on to be successful and productive lawyers, writers, businessmen and oh ya Presidents of the U.S. So will Obama and Clinton be sparking up after tomorrow's Election results come in? I don't doubt it, and you can bet Clinton will be practicing "total absorption" otherwise Obama will smoke that shit straight to the head! Stay medicated!

Why is Marijuana Still Illegal in 2012?



With the 2012 Election just around the corner and the possibility of legalizing marijuana for recreational and medicinal use in a variety of states across the U.S. I couldn't help but to throw "The Union - the business behind getting high" into my DVD player. Ya I know the movie was released in 2007, but it expresses a lot of interesting points, most of which have you asking yourself, "why is marijuana still illegal?" Although that could all change on Tuesday November 6th, I thought it would be fitting to re-iterate some of the points made in the movie that a lot of people disregard or even overlook. If you haven't seen this documentary I suggest grabbing a copy HERE for under $10 before reading the summary below.
  • Gateway Drug Theory - As we all know marijuana has been considered a "gateway drug" because as "they" say if we use marijuana we are more likely to use more dangerous hard drugs. However, marijuana prohibition actually makes marijuana into a gateway drug. Marijuana prohibition leaves marijuana in the hands of drug dealers who don't regulate or discriminate against age and end up pushing harder drugs on the buyers. By regulating it we ultimately get rid of the interactions between marijuana buyers and drug dealers. 
  • Addictive vs. habitual - Marijuana isn't addictive, it's more habitual. Yes, we may desire it like we desire a coffee, or a beer, or a favorite dish of food, but it is not addictive.
  • Privatized prisons - they exist so investors can profit from them. In order for that to happen the prisoners have to keep rolling on in. Therefore people are put in jail for long sentences for less serious crimes involving marijuana. 
  • Drug Testing - There are millions of drug tests every year, hence millions of dollars to be made doing it. Whether it's for professionals looking to secure a job, athletes or even extra curricular activities drug tests are being done for everything these days. Next you'll need to take a fuckin drug test to get your medications...smh. With this drug testing, we are basically telling our children that if you don't want to get caught use the hard drugs not the soft drugs like marijuana that will show up on a test 28 days later.
  • Pharmaceutical Industry - this industry is the most profitable in the U.S. but why do the pharmaceutical companies feel threatened by a plant? The answer...because MARIJUANA IS NATURAL! It has many benefits and since it is natural it is basically free medication that you can grow yourself. Since it is natural it can't be patented like pill form medications. So ultimately there is no money to be made for pharmaceutical companies, and the legalization of it could actually hurt their profits. This is the reason why there has been the creation of Marinol, which is a FDA approved pill form of synthetic cannabinoid. This shows that the components within the cannabis plant do have medicinal value, but pharmaceuticals want it in a pill form so it can be patented and profited from. 
  • Medical Marijuana v. Recreational Use - Although the discussion about medical marijuana has been more openly accepted by many people today, some are still against it, but why? They say that medical marijuana is just a platform or stepping stone to full legalization. SO WHAT! If it comes up in the discussion then there must be some positive benefits to the idea otherwise people wouldn't be talking about it. 
  • MARIJUANA v. ALCOHOL - Alcohol prohibition didn't work in the past, and by regulating it there were less issues in regards to crime and violence. Ask yourself this: Why do people desire alcohol? For relaxation, pleasure, taste, social reasons. Now ask yourself this: Why do people desire marijuana? For all the exact same reasons....AND for medicinal purposes! With that being said if we can legalize and regulate alcohol, then why not marijuana? Marijuana has some positive benefits to its use whereas alcohol has absolutely none and the use of it is more dangerous to yourself and others. Yet smoking a joint is frowned upon by some of our peers who enjoy their daily alcoholic beverage. Doesn't make much sense now does it?
  • Natural - Why is nature against the law in 2012

After reading this did you ask yourself, "Why is marijuana still illegal in 2012?" If so then get out there on November 6th and be a part of history by changing the laws in your respective states. Then one day it will be a federal discussion. Stay medicated!

Is Marijuana Prohibition on the Brink?



Will November 6th prove to be the beginning of the end of marijuana prohibition? Only time will tell as three states, Colorado, Oregon and Washington look to legalize marijuana for recreational use (YES, FULL LEGALIZATION - sold, taxed and regulated like your ol' pack of beer). Arkansas and Massachusetts add a couple of jabs to the mix as well as they both vote on the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes within their respective states. Five potential votes that could swing in the favor of marijuana activists across the United States. Arkansas could be the first southern state to pass a medical marijuana law and I wouldn't be surprised if Massachusetts passed as well with the overall acceptance of medical marijuana in New England in the recent years. On the bigger scale, Washington is looking strong for winning full legalization within the state whereas Colorado and Oregon aren't looking too promising. However, a 3/5 swing would be a big upset for marijuana activists nationwide and would definitely spark a Federal discussion over the legalization of marijuana and the benefits it can provide to our nation and the world. So if you live in one of these 5 states pack a bowl, roll a blunt, or twist up a joint and walk down to your nearest voting center and help pass the shit out of these laws on Tuesday...why wait? Who knows what tomorrow will bring...Stay Medicated!

Amsterdam Coffee Shops to Remain Open

CHECK OUT OUR NEW AND IMPROVED WEBSITE 




We all know what Amsterdam is all about...an interesting history, the red light district and legal coffee shops where you can purchase marijuana legally, as a resident and a tourist. However, the Dutch government is attempting to introduce legislation that would limit the sale of cannabis only to Dutch residents who registered with their local coffee shop for a "weed pass". Therefore it would be illegal for tourists to be allowed in these coffee shops. The question is would you still visit Amsterdam if you weren't allowed to enter a coffee shop? I probably would because I have been to Amsterdam and it is a beautiful city with a lot to offer. However, I will say that staying at the Bulldog Hotel/Coffee shop and rolling up and smoking inside the lobby of your hotel before you start your day was an interesting experience. The freedom of entering one of the 220 coffee shops across the city and purchasing marijuana and space cakes at my own discretion, legally, was definitely a trip. Luckily for all of you who hope to one day visit or go back to Amsterdam, the mayor has made the decision to keep the coffee shops open next year in spite of the new Dutch law which was intended to reduce drug tourism. The city has about 7 million tourists every year, 1.5 million of which enter a coffee shop during their visit. The mayor believes that the 1.5 million tourists that could essentially become banned from these shops will just resort to street dealers to get their marijuana, thus leading to more crime, violence, and no quality control of the drugs on the market. Hmmm...sounds like a country I know. Hey, maybe after November 6th Washington will become America's Amsterdam? I say why not...
