    Cannabis 101: Everything to Know if You’re New to Weed

    It’s important to have some sort of clue about what direction to go in when heading into unfamiliar territory, whether it’s first-timers getting their kicks in a party with friends in Lagos or folks who haven’t had the opportunity to indulge in their favorite plant for quite a while. Regardless of weed being illegal in Nigeria, it’s clear that its popularity is rising, with it becoming a part of pop culture.

    Before you smoke marijuana, check your mindset and mood. If you’re feeling good (mentally and physically) and are in a safe space, you’ve laid the foundation for a positive experience. If you feel sad, nervous, or scared, it may not be the best time to use a drug with psychoactive effects. In particular, THC-rich varieties of cannabis can amplify negative emotions.

    So we’ve decided to educate new and returning users about some basic ways to keep themselves from having an overwhelming and unpleasant first high. Whatever experience level is your starting point, it will be valuable to go forward into the relatively unknown equipped with a little knowledge.

    What is Cannabis?

    Cannabis (also known as marijuana, weed, pot herb, ganja, reefer or chronic) is a drug that comes from a plant. It contains the chemicals THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol), which have short and long-term effects. People use cannabis for different reasons. It can also be prescribed by a doctor or nurse practitioner as a medical treatment. Like with any other medication, if cannabis is prescribed to you, it’s important to take it as directed.

    Cannabis can be consumed in a variety of ways and in a variety of forms:

    ● inhaled through smoke or vapor (often with almost immediate effect)
    ● taken through food (edibles), liquids or capsules (may take up to a few hours to take
    effect)

    Sativa Vs Indica Vs Hybrid

    Sativa, indica, and hybrid are the three main types of cannabis strains, with hybrids resulting from cross-breeding sativa and indica plants. Sativa strains are known for their energizing and uplifting effects, often associated with increased creativity and focus, making them a good choice for daytime use. Indica strains, on the other hand, are known for their relaxing and sedating effects, often used for pain relief and promoting relaxation, making them suitable for nighttime use. Hybrids offer a balance of these effects, providing a more versatile option for consumers depending on the specific combination of sativa and indica genetics.

    Potential Benefits of Cannabis

    Cannabis is known for its various therapeutic, wellness, and recreational benefits. Some of the most common reasons people use cannabis include:
    ● Pain Relief: Helps with chronic pain, arthritis, and migraines.
    ● Anxiety and Stress Reduction: Certain strains can help ease anxiety and promote relaxation.
    ● Sleep Aid: Indica-dominant strains are often used for insomnia.
    ● Creativity Boost: Some Sativa strains enhance focus and creativity.
    ● Appetite Stimulation: Beneficial for those with medical conditions that cause appetite loss.

    How to Smoke a Joint

    A joint is basically a cannabis cigarette. It’s rolled in the same type of paper as cigarettes but contains no addictive nicotine. You can buy pre-rolled joints or try rolling one at home yourself. Rolling and smoking a joint involves the following steps:

    1. Break up the cannabis flower using a grinder or by hand.
    2. Take a small piece of stiff paper and roll it tightly to create a filter. This step isn’t necessary, but it prevents the joint from clogging.
    3. Pick your preferred rolling paper material (rice paper, wheat straw paper, etc.) and sprinkle in the ground cannabis.
    4. Hold the paper with one hand and arrange the cannabis evenly in the center. This can be tricky the first few times, but start rolling it up, then twist and seal the joint.

    How to Smoke a Blunt

    A blunt is similar to a joint, except it’s rolled with cigar papers. To roll and smoke a blunt, follow the same steps for a joint. Keep in mind that blunt wraps and cigar papers are often made of tobacco leaves containing nicotine and other harmful chemicals. It’s wise to refrain from using cannabis in this manner as it’s not the safest alternative.

    How to Smoke a Bong

    The most intricate of the three, a bong is a smoking filtration device. It has a removable bowl that connects to a long, tube-shaped smoke chamber usually made of glass. Bongs come in all shapes and sizes but are much larger than pipes. If you want to start small, you can also find smaller water pipes called bubblers. Packing and smoking a bong involves the following steps:

    1. Fill the bong with clean water.
    2. Take some finely ground weed and pack the bowl tightly.
    3. Hold the bong and put your lips on the mouthpiece. Tilt your lighter and bring the flame to the bowl.
    4. Slowly inhale at the same time you’re lighting the bowl. Once you’re satisfied with the smoke produced, you can stop igniting it.
    5. Remove the bowl from its stem and breathe in the smoke inside the chamber.
    6. Hold for about three seconds and release. Replace the bowl in its stem and repeat until you reach the desired effects.
    7. Clean your bong thoroughly and swap it out with fresh water before each smoke session.

    Getting High for the First Time

    Do Some Research

    Before smoking, ingesting or applying any sort of cannabis-infused goods, find out what type of experience to expect from each different product. Look into the characteristics and contrasts between sativa and indica strains. Read up on dabbing and wax and find out about how canna-oil and canna-butter work in the body. Being intellectually prepared will make a difference in how enjoyable the physical effects will be once they start to kick in. Remember: this is supposed to feel good.

    Test the Waters

    Because the hormonal and chemical makeup of every body is different, taking the time to really figure out what works and what doesn’t work will make a tremendous difference in how the whole experience goes. For some people, smoking produces a more enjoyable effect than eating edibles or vice versa. It’s a good idea to give any new marijuana experience a test run in private — kind of like trying out a test patch before dying hair — before going all the way in and possibly regretting it later in public.

    Ask Questions

    If it’s your first time, it’s always good to ask questions from more experienced smokers. There’s never any harm in asking questions to make sure there’s absolute clarity about what you’re about to get into. It’s important to double check about recommended dosage amounts when it comes to edibles and follow the advice.

    Diversify

    Smoking joints, blunts or out of a glass pipe are probably the most common ways of getting high, but they’re not the end-all and be-all of cannabis culture. There are a number of ways to enjoy cannabis that are becoming more popular and accessible. Vaporizing and dabbing are other ways to get a potent high thanks to a variety of discrete, portable devices.

    Don’t Push the Limits

    It’s important to be aware of what strains and how much cannabis allows for a content and satisfying experience. The golden rule here is to start small and be patient. If it’s been more than a decade since the last puff, don’t try to inhale an entire blunt on the first go-round. Just take a moment to think about the process going on in the body when cannabis is consumed. Trying to take a good buzz over the edge won’t heighten the experience, it’ll just require a lot of
    snacks and a long, long nap. Keep it moderate and it won’t be hard to stay awake to actually enjoy the high.

    Cannabis Etiquette

    Smoking weed has a long history in social settings. For some people, this aspect of the experience is just as important as smoking itself. The rules of weed etiquette are pretty simple. For example, don’t share a joint with others when you’re sick, and don’t pressure anyone to partake if they don’t feel comfortable.

    If you rolled the joint, marijuana etiquette suggests you also be the one who lights it. Take a puff or two, then pass the joint to your left. The following person then puffs and passes, continuing in a clockwise direction. When it’s your turn, refrain from blowing smoke in anyone’s face. Keep the mouthpiece clean of saliva and any accumulated ash.

  • Ultimate Guide to Growing Your Own Weed

    Ultimate Guide to Growing Your Own Weed

    If you’re a regular smoker, the thought of what it would take to grow your own weed instead of spending all that money might have crossed your mind and you wondered what it’ll take to make it happen, we’re here to tell you it’s not easy and there are a lot of factors to consider. The process is not as simple as sowing a seed and letting it take its time to grow and reproduce. Weed cultivation is a multi-billion dollar industry that is increasing day by day but it’s also not impossible and with the right tools basically, anyone can do it. 

    Growing cannabis is a very long and caretaking process. Let us help you understand the process and the important factors of growing good weed at home. We will help you understand the factors and steps you must take for growing a cannabis plant. Here you will find a few distinct steps to help you grow weed effectively. 

    Deciding the Best Cannabis Seeds or Clones

    The cannabis plant can be a male plant or a female plant. 

    Males give you small flowers or “Buds.” The flowers obtained from them are usually discarded and are of no apparent use. When you grow weed from female cannabis seeds, you will get plump pungent flowers that are the primary source of THC. Hence, if you want to grow weed indoors, you should choose female cannabis seeds for a good yield.

    It’s pretty much impossible to tell which ones are male or female. The only true way to tell the plant’s gender is to plant a seed, then wait for it to mature. After a period of several weeks, the plant will begin to pre-flower or form a small bud in the crux of a branch. One of the first signs your cannabis plant is female is the appearance of pistillate that are wispy and generally white in color. Male plants will instead produce pollen sacs that look rounded with distinct splits running lengthwise, a bit like a tiny crab claw. 

    An example of early-stage female (left) and male (right) cannabis plants.

    Creating A Grow Room For Your Weed Plants

    You do not need a massive grow space. If you are growing weed indoors, you can use small kitchen top trays for a handful of plants. You can use empty cabinets, and unused rooms. Make the space for growing the weed hygienic and free of any outside pollutants. If you grow weed indoors only, the dedicated grow room must have an air filtration system for fresh air. You can also protect your weed plant by spraying them with any homemade organic insecticide. Only use organic pesticides or fertilizers since marijuana can absorb toxic metals.

    Direct sunlight is the most important factor for a weed plant during the growing stage. Growing cannabis can be a nightmare if the lighting conditions are not properly regulated. To grow weed indoors, they need 12 hours of uninterrupted sunlight. After that, the weed plants need to rest in complete darkness, where they produce flowers that transform into buds. If any ambient light is seeping in from anywhere, the flowers that develop are full of seeds. These flowers do not yield smokable buds.

    Cannabis Grow Lights

    The primary light source is the sun itself. But no one wants to have the extra responsibility of putting their plants in and out twice a day. It is when artificial grow lights come into play.

    Fluorescent lights are the easiest option for a beginner. They are high propagating lights and can be ideal for young plants with less yield. These lights are also low wattage, so they do not produce any heat. Further, they do not require a lot of power to run. They will not affect the internal temperature of your growing area while still doing the job. 

    Know Your Soil

    You can grow cannabis indoors as well as outdoors. If you grow indoors, you can use ordinary soil, or you can use a hydroponic system. It mostly depends on your personal preference and ease of maintenance. 

    Cannabis plants are very pH sensitive and need constant pH control. For this, you need to ensure the quality of the water. If you are using ordinary soil, you should try to maintain a pH between 6 and 7. If you use a pH meter, look for the sweet spots of 6.2 and 6.5. Further, if you use hydroponic systems, you should aim between 5.8 and 6. Hence, these pH ranges can guarantee optimal growth and yields.

    Have A Watering System

    Every amateur home botanist thinks that every plant needs a lot of water. But, in reality, plants do not consume water as humans do. Hence, you must be very vigilant when watering your plants. It would be best if you were extra careful when watering weed plants. Cannabis is very sensitive to air circulation, and too much water can affect that circulation around the roots. They show stunted growth if they do not get enough air circulation or if the humidity is too much. It can also affect flower production.

    You need to measure your plants’ water intake. It depends on several factors. For example, the size of your plant, the stage of growth, the rate of growth, and the temperature of your growing room as well. If the weather is really hot, they will require more water. But you also need to ensure that the growing vessels have enough holes to allow extra water drainage. It prevents any pest or germ culture growths. You must also install RO (reverse osmosis) filters to distill your water and avoid excess chlorine or harmful inorganic chemicals.

    Create a Ventilation System

    You can create a ventilation system yourself. Just make sure that you place the exhausts strategically. You do not need to place too many fans. Just enough to create a gentle airflow. For this purpose, you can use box fans, bracket fans, wall-mounted oscillating fans, etc. Place them strategically so that they work effectively with each other. It is to ensure that the temperature does not rise due to CO2 buildup.

    We all know that warm air is lighter and rises. A good ventilation system helps by pushing out hot air and pumping in fresh cool air. You can achieve this by mounting your outtake exhaust a little higher. Your intake valve should be a couple of feet higher than the ground.

    Regulate Temperature

    It will ensure that your indoor grow room has a fresh supply of CO2 and oxygen at all times. Further, this also regulates temperatures for your young plant growing indoors. Indoor growers need to maintain the optimal temperature range for their cannabis indoors during the vegetative stage.

    Most cannabis varieties flourish in cool temperatures of 75 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit when in sunlight. But most strains like Indica grow best at night in temperatures around 55 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit. This optimal temperature happens when you switch off the lights and leave them to rest.

  • #MarijuanaTimes: What happens when you smoke your first joint?

    #MarijuanaTimes: What happens when you smoke your first joint?

    Consumption of marijuana in contemporary culture has been on a steady rise, especially for young people in Africa who’ve embraced the use of marijuana and are more open to using the psychedelic effects of the drug in various aspects of their lives.

    When it comes to weed experiences, different strokes for different folks, some have great experiences of their first time smoking weed while others end up being paranoid and lose interest in ever trying again. Your body, mindset, environment, and type of marijuana you’re consuming can all have an effect your first high, creating either a positive or negative first impression, and this changes from person to person.

    We made a breakdown of some of the most common reactions you might expect from your first-time consuming weed, ranging from the good, the bad, and the very common instance when nothing occurs.

    The Good

    If things go according to plan, your first time getting high should be pretty chill and you’ll have a feeling of ease and calmness. Getting high for the first time can be elevating, intense but mentally liberating depending on how good the experience is.

    People who experience a good first high report feeling happy, relaxed, and being very aware of their surroundings, which include noting colors, sensations, and more. This is why high people can have deep conversations about the state of their shoes. And why they eat so voraciously.

    The Bad

    Bad first-time highs usually happen when you smoke too much on your first try or you’re in uncomfortable scenery, which fucks with the mind and induces paranoia. Since there’s no tolerance in people’s bodies, a hit or two should be enough to push them past their threshold (depending on how strong the weed is).

    If someone is naturally anxious, smoking weed might also increase their odds of having a bad time, pushing them to worry over other people “knowing” that they’re high, experiencing dry mouth, and thirst.

    In order to prevent a bad high, it’s important to moderate how much weed your smoke. For your first time smoking weed, you should ease yourself in with only a few drags, and once you feel yourself get high take a break and get used to the feeling before trying again. It’s also important to surround yourself with people you trust, with whom you won’t feel judged.

    If a bad high occurs, remember that these are temporary and harmless, quickly resolved by a nap.

    The Nothing

    It’s also really common to not experience anything after consuming weed for the first time. This has a scientific explanation: experts believe that THC must interact with some people’s bodies several times in order to activate their endocannabinoid system. This is called a “sensitization period.” Once your body learns how to interact with THC, it’ll learn how to react accordingly.

    We hope this helps.

  • Effects Of Drugs & How They Affect Our Sex Life.

    Effects Of Drugs & How They Affect Our Sex Life.

    As young people, we always have new experiences and trying new things, especially when it comes to spicing up our sex life. We’ve all heard or wondered how different drugs feel and would affect sex with our partners.

    Each drug works in its own way and has its own risks. Drugs all have different effects on your sexual behavior. This also depends on the amount of alcohol or drugs you consume, where you are, and the atmosphere. Effects can vary from person to person, and depending on the situation.

    With some hours dedicated to researching a few of these drugs and how they affect our sex lives, we’ve gathered a few highlights and downsides on fucking while on Molly, Weed, and Coke.

    Sex On Ecstasy.

    Highlights: MDMA is referred to often as the “love drug,” and a big reason why is that it makes physical sensation feel amazing, according to the participants. People reported feeling sensual, not sexual. It was feelings of romance, not pure horniness. Also, you just sorta fall in love with everything and everyone around you. You’re more outgoing and flirty.

    Downside: While a majority of the participants (nearly 85 percent) reported “some form of related sexual enhancement,” they didn’t necessarily have a ton of sex while high. Men reported struggling to get hard, and delayed orgasm was also a major effect of the drug.

    Sex On Cocaine.

    Highlights: People who use cocaine often report an increased sex drive in addition to the more standard cocaine effects, such as euphoria, confidence, and increased energy. Individuals who use cocaine have reported that sex on cocaine lasts longer and that orgasms are more intense.

    Downside: While cocaine increases sex drive, it often results in sexual dysfunction. Many men find it difficult to get and maintain an erection, while women struggle with lubrication and achieving orgasm.

    Sex On Weed.

    Highlights: According to New York Magazine, ancient texts commonly refer to weed as an aphrodisiac. Lester Grinspoon, a retired Harvard Medical School professor told NY Mag that weed has the propensity to “enhance a variety of human experiences,” one being ~sexual~ experience. It might make your orgasms more intense and long-lasting. For some guys smoking marijuana before sex increases their sexual stamina and helps them last longer.

    Downside: Being high can make it so hard to focus that you can’t even orgasm. “While the conclusion that marijuana helps guys last longer in bed is tempting, we cannot rule out the possibility that this drug simply alters men’s perception of time,” Justin Lehmiller, a sex educator and researcher at Ball State University, wrote in Playboy. “Sex might seem to last longer when you’re high, but the actual amount of time you spend having sex might not really be any different from when you’re sober.”

  • How To Make Weed Brownies For Beginners

    How To Make Weed Brownies For Beginners

    Not everyone is big on smoking weed and that’s understandable, smoking isn’t for everyone but that shouldn’t stop you from participating in the goodness marijuana brings which is why edibles were created. For non-smokers, it’s an easier way to take in the weed. There are different types of edibles, from candies to drinks and the most popular of all Brownies.

    Baking cannabis infused brownies can be a cool experience, if you want to get into cannabis edibles. It’s an easy and favourite way to cannabinoids, no matter if you’re in need of medical marijuana or recreational marijuana. Homemade weed brownies are easy to bake, requiring only a few ingredients.

    The MoreBranches team has come up with an easy 5-step process to help you make the best cannabis brownie for any beginner.

    First Step.

    If cooking with cannabis is a new thing for you, you’ll need to go through the following steps before you actually make your weed brownies. 

    • Decarb your weed;
    • Make cannabis oil or cannabutter.

    Decarbing Weed for Your Marijuana Brownies.

    The decarboxylation process is essential to making cannabutter or cannabis oil, and therefore essential to making weed brownies. Decarbing weed means converting the  tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) and cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) to THC and CBD. You can decarb it by using the oven or other methods of heating up weed to the required temperatures. 

    Make sure that the weed you’re trying to decarb is ground up, and if it isn’t, use your grinder in order to grind it up prior to decarbing. Decarbing your weed is easy, all you need to do is preheat your oven to about 235 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius), and bake your ground up cannabis for 30-40 minutes.

    The recipe calls for infused butter or infused olive oil (or substitute with coconut oil). You can make cannabutter at home by using regular butter to which you add your decarbed weed or weed trim, and place it all on the stovetop or in the crockpot. Once your butter is infused, all you’ll need is a cheesecloth to strain the plant matter from the butter, and you are ready to bake some cookies.

    Second Step.

    This step-by-step guide for making cannabis brownies with brownie mix will make it easy for you to make cannabis-infused with just a few simple ingredients.

    Ingredients.

    The recipe calls for the following ingredients and materials:          

    • Baking pan;
    • Cooking spray;
    • Salt;
    • One box of brownie mix;
    • 1/4 cup canna-oil or cannabis butter;
    • Regular vegetable oil (if necessary);
    • Additional ingredients per the box of brownie mix like (cocoa powder or chocolate chips).

    By using a brownie mix, you simplify the process, and save a bit of time.

    Steps.

    1. Preheat the oven to 350° F (180°C).
    2. Grease the baking pan with cooking spray.
    3. Mix the dry ingredients (the brownie mix, extra cocoa powder, and a bit of salt).
    4. Mix the dry ingredients together with the cannabis oil, or the cannabutter, depending on which one you plan to use.
    5. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together until they’re well-combined.
    6. Transfer the batter to the baking pan and lightly tap the pan so the batter is evened out.
    7. Place the baking pan in the oven.

    Baking Weed Brownies

    Bake your marijuana edibles according to the package instructions, or about 25-30 minutes. Once they’re done baking, take them out of the oven. Since brownies are fudgy, your toothpick doesn’t need to come out clean once you poke them. Allow the brownies to cool for another 30 minutes, and you’re ready to dig in. 

    Third Step.

    ENJOY!

    To increase the flavor of your homemade weed brownies, serve your weed-infused brownies alongside some ice cream or melted chocolate. That will not only increase the chocolate flavour of the brownies, but it will also make your edibles seem more pleasing to your friends who want to try them.

  • Nigerian Government Sets Up Stakeholders Meeting To Aid Marijuana Legalization

    Nigerian Government Sets Up Stakeholders Meeting To Aid Marijuana Legalization

    It’s safe to say Nigerians are currently going through the worst government they’ve ever faced but maybe the government might get one thing right before Buhari leaves office (he’s failed at everything else).

    Yesterday, The House Of Representatives are on course to legalise the use of Marijuana in the country, they say it’ll be beneficial to the economic growth. for economic benefit.

    Spokesperson of the House of Representatives, Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu said during a press conference that the House of Representatives has concluded an arrangement to organize a two-day stakeholders roundtable on the benefits of the weed. According to him a date for the stakeholder’s forum, which will attract participants among scientists, medical and pharmaceutical professionals, farmers, insurance companies, executives, and private sector investors has been slated for June 7 and 8.

    The workshop is aimed at furthering legislation, scientific research and sensitization on the health, industrial benefits of cannabis and CBD oil as well as engaging stakeholders at all levels to leverage the multi-faceted value chain of cannabis.

    Kalu believes other legalzing Weed will bring a munch needed capital for the nation, as the world increasingly shifts towards renewable energy and climate-friendly energy sources, global oil demand will further drop. Oil dependentent countries like Nigeria need to diversify their revenue stream.

    Nigeria has been described as oil-dependent and not oil-rich. It is a worrying reality that we have not optimized the financial stability advantage that our oil reserves can provide us to diversify our collective investment and revenue sources. The coronavirus pandemic exposed our weaknesses when global oil prices plummeted by as much as 15 per cent even falling below $0 a barrel on 20 April 2020. Agriculture has always been a major strength of Nigeria and cannabis provides interesting prospects. Industrial hemp is a variety of the Cannabis sativa plant species that is grown specifically for industrial use. “Once harvested, the crop has a high yield of edible proteins and fibres with more than 50,000 product applications ranging from papermaking, textiles, biodegradable plastics, fuel, construction, healthy food, beverages, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals.

    According to verified market research, the Global Industrial Hemp Market was valued at USD 5 Billion in 2019 and is projected to reach USD 36 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 34 per cent from 2019 to 2026. “According to the consultancy firm Prohibition Partners, by 2023, the value of Africa’s legal cannabis market could be worth over USD 7.1 billion.

    The Special Adviser to the state governor on Agriculture, Mr Akin Olotu, while speaking at the event said the Ondo state government in conjunction with Culturepreneur Clusters Limited and other partners will hold a stakeholders’ roundtable on the benefits and opportunities of the cannabis plant and CBD Oil in Nigeria. Olotu pointed out that the discussion will focus on research, legalisation, licensing, medical advantages, agro-economy advantages, empowerment, benefits of Internal Generated Revenues, Trade Exchange benefits.

  • Nigeria’s House of Representatives Consider Legalising Weed Cultivation & Registration For Traders

    Nigeria’s House of Representatives Consider Legalising Weed Cultivation & Registration For Traders

    Nigeria is currently one of the world’s highest consumers of Marijuana and could become one of the highest producers if the ban on the use and sale of Marijuana is over by the Government.

    It seems 2021 could be the year this finally happens. The House of Representatives has recently proposed the legalization of cultivation and trading of Marijuana for medical and cosmetic use, research purposes, as well as means of generating revenue for the country. This is being proposed in the Cannabis Control Bill 2020, sponsored by Miriam Onuoha, which is awaiting second reading.

    According to Punch Newspaper, the legislation is titled, ‘A Bill for an Act to Regulate the Cultivation, Possession, Availability, and Trade of Cannabis for Medical and Research Use, and Related Purposes.’ If the bill becomes law, hospitals and doctors will be allowed to prescribe doses of cannabis for the treatment of patients, while pharmacies and stores will be allowed to sell the drug. The proposed law, however, sets conditions for the cultivation, buying, selling, and consumption of the drug.

    The bill partly read, “A person who grows, produces or sells cannabis, not for medical purpose and does not present the particulars required for registration under Section 12(1) commits an offense and shall be liable upon conviction to imprisonment for two years or a fine not exceeding N1,000,000 or both. A licensed seller who sells more than the prescribed dose to a buyer would risk imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years or a fine not less than N500,000 or both, while a buyer who smokes or ingests cannabis, on the contrary, might be jailed for two years or fined not less than N500,000 or both.”

  • #WeedChronicles: The Art Of Wake & Bake

    #WeedChronicles: The Art Of Wake & Bake

    If there’s one thing any stoner can relate to it’s the power of starting the day with a good joint. The science of ‘wake and bake’ is one we’ve been trying to hack forever. Starting the day with a joint for a lot of stoners is a very important and intimate moment of their daily lives. For some, catching a head full of THC is just as much a part of wiping the cobwebs from the brain than several cups of coffee.

    What makes a wake and bake so amazing is its ability to pull a person out of the morning funk and give them the strength to hit the ground running.

    Do we all Wake & Bake?

    According to a 2017 Global Drug Survey, nearly 32 percent of the pot smokers in the world, in fact, hit that J very early to start their day. Although the data does not give any explanation for this phenomenon.

    For most people being high in the morning has a way of erasing some of the anxiety of their day, especially for those working in 9-5 or have heavy tasks planned out for the day. For some, this practice even provides a boost that lends to super-productivity.

    Wake and Bake Logic?

    There’s no real logic to it but we can all agree that marijuana gets us super stoned very early in the day.

    Some believe the intensity is nothing more than an illusion—the brain is not functioning at full capacity yet, thus creating the perception of a more intense buzz.

    Logical Reason – When smoking marijuana first thing in the morning, the THC is hitting a drained body. In the morning, the body has been without nutrients for several hours. This makes THC appear more potent. Why? Nothing else has yet been consumed for cannabinoids to compete with.

    Wake and Bake Tips

    • If you are waking and baking with anything other than a Sativa, you’re doing it wrong. (Sour Diesel and Blue Dream are excellent selections)
    • Contrary to popular opinion, it is also helpful to eat something shortly after the first hit of the day. Although a person might be high, happy and ready for work, the body still needs food to function at its maximum capacity.
    • It is also wise to have a firm grip on the dose, too much and it could make you too fucked up to actual function.
    • Vaporizers can provide the early high timer with more control over the size of their hits than old-school methods, like smoking a bowl.
    • Low dose edibles are also an easy way to maintain an even buzz throughout the day.

    Final Hit.

    Wake and bake doesn’t work for everyone and for others it can some getting used to, it is really about what works for the individual user.

    Some addiction experts argue that waking and baking is less therapeutic and more of a problem. In 2016, a team of researchers found that using marijuana in the morning could be a sign of cannabis addiction. The study, which was published in the journal Addiction Research and Theory, suggests that the wake and bake practice is no different than a grabbing a few beers in the morning. Drinking alcohol during the day has long been associated with alcoholism.

  • Ecstasy, Magic Mushrooms & Acid: Knowing Your Way Around The Drug Trifecta

    Ecstasy, Magic Mushrooms & Acid: Knowing Your Way Around The Drug Trifecta

    Growing up most of us watched those drug-fueled coming of age films where friends tripped balls in the woods and found themselves. Unfortunately for us, finding these ‘life-changing’ psychedelics wasn’t easy in a country that holds morality firm at the waist.

    It’s 2020 and young people aren’t as held back as before, the result is an open-minded generation breathing life to the drug culture in Nigeria. A community living experiences through psychedelics and other mind-altering drugs.

    Psychedelic drugs, also known as hallucinogenic drugs or simply hallucinogens, are a group of substances that are usually used recreationally to change and enhance sensory perceptions, thought processes, and energy levels, and to facilitate spiritual experiences. They include chemicals, such as LSD, and plants, such as peyote.

    Disclaimer: We’re not recommending doing drugs, but with increased access to psychedelics, we would like the curious people to trip safely.

    People take psychedelics for different reasons; in modern times it’s been used to treat alcoholism, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. It’s also been a way to open oneself to new things, and to achieve an enlightened state of mind. Some may take hallucinogenic drugs simply to escape life’s troubles or to relieve boredom.

    Hallucinogens are sometimes used in spiritual pursuits to produce mystical “visions” or simply to induce a detachment from reality in order to be closer to mythical beings. Writers, poets, artists, and creatives, in general, have used hallucinogens and other drugs through the decades to find inspiration.

    Hallucinogens can be found in some plants and mushrooms or can be synthesized in labs like LSD and Ecstacy.

    How They Work

    Research suggests that hallucinogens work, at least partially, by temporarily disrupting communication between chemical systems throughout the brain and spinal cord. Some hallucinogens interfere with the action of the brain chemical serotonin. Serotonin can affect mood, sensory perception, sleep, hunger, body temperature, sexual behaviour, and muscle control. Other hallucinogens interfere with the action of the brain chemical glutamate.

    If you’re ready to embark on a psychedelic trip for the first time, there are some do’s and don’t’s. We’ve listed a few guidelines for tripping on some hallucinogens so you can have as close to the most amazing trip of your life. We also got people to share their experiences.

    Side Bar – If you are depressed, excessively annoyed at the world, sick, or solely interested in forgetting about your problems and having a good time, do not take psychedelic drugs. LSD-like substances, including psilocybin, are mental magnifying glasses, and if you already feel like shit you will merely spend the trip grovelling in your own insignificance and feeling even worse.

    Magic Mushrooms.

    Magic mushrooms contain a naturally occurring type of hallucinogen, called psilocybin, which is found in certain fungi. There is a wide variety of hallucinogenic mushrooms. It’s best taken indoors in a cozy type feel, it can be a single or shared experience just make sure you’re in a safe space that can allow you trip to your heart’s desire.

    How To Dose

    • Micro-Dosing 0.2 – 0.5 grams: is a sub-perceptual amount of mushrooms. Take this every 2-3 days to boost creativity or feel less anxious.
    •  0.8 – 1g: Known as a basic level, excellent to get familiar with the substance.
    • 1 – 1.5 g: Consistent sensorial accentuation, colours becoming brighter and a light body high.
    • 1.5 – 3 g: Trip Level 3 is great for beginners who want to jump in the “real” psychedelic experience, without overdoing the dosage.
    • 3 – 5 g: Total loss of contact with reality. Intense hallucinations. Great distortion of the perception of space and time.

    Mood & Feel

    The effects of Magic Mushrooms may include euphoria, altered thought processes and sense of time, sensory enhancement, synesthesia, visual hallucinations, spiritual or mystical feelings, ego death, and even out of body sensations. It has also been shown to provide long term benefit to psychological conditions like depression or OCD, positively alter moral values like empathy, and strengthen the connection with nature or the universe as a whole. 

    “I felt like I was levitating and falling at the same time, like I could be alive for a long time without using my eyes. The moments felt like it would last forever, I was praying I don’t snap and lose my mind completely. The paranoia. I had a conversation with my reflection and started questioning my reality and shit. Think I also had a lucid dream that night and woke up biting my pillow.” — Trickster 

    Ecstasy

    Ecstasy, MDMA or ‘Molly’ is a psychedelic with hallucinogenic effects that are less pronounced, and the mood-enhancing and stimulant effects are more noticeable to the user than some other psychedelics. It packs a kick and is best taken when going out or an activity that requires a lot of energy and drive.

    The appearance of ecstasy varies considerably with there being a wide range of coloured pills and capsules often marked with designs and logos. This can result in some ecstasy pills getting nicknames e.g Mitsubishi’s, Tesla’s, Teddy bears, and Superman pills.

    How To Dose

    • It comes in pills or powder so depending on what you get, be rational especially if it’s your first time.
    • The pills come in different sizes and Grams so that’ll help you know what to take.
    • A quarter pill is best for starters then you build your tolerance from there. (Depending on the size of the pill, if it’s really small you can try half)

    Mood & Feel

    Physical effects include pupil dilation, jaw tightening and an increase in body temperature, blood pressure and heart rate. As with amphetamine, there is often a loss of appetite. Mental effects may include an initial rushing feeling followed by a combination of feeling energetic and yet calm. Loss of anger, empathy with other people and an enhanced sense of communication are common. Sometimes you might experience a heightened sense of your surroundings, greater appreciation of music and increased sexual and sensual experience.

    “The first time I took molly I kinda overdosed so for the first one hour I was super active. My friends and I spent 150k at some random mall cause we were all fucking hyper and kept taking shit off the racks then I puked right outside the mall. I eventually got my shit together and the trip became really bliss. In that moment I was super locked in and focused, I just wanted to do shit and exert energy. The next time I took molly was at at concert, Lemon Curd I think, some years back and that was a trip too. The music, the atmosphere, everything felt so surreal and I could rave as hard. I’m so sure this is the shit Travis is on when he performs.” – Ichigo West.

    Acid

    Lysergic acid diethylamide, or LSD, is a chemically synthesized hallucinogen, developed from ergot, a kind of mold that grows on the rye grain.

    How To Dose

    Acid is a colorless, odorless liquid. For consumption, acid typically drips the liquid onto absorbent, colorful paper squares called blotter papers. Each blotter paper can have several “tabs.” One tab is usually enough to induce a trip.

    Mood & Feel

    An acid trip can last from 8 to 12 hours. An effect of LSD is distortions in time perception, which can make the experience feel even longer. Some users say they feel as though the trip could last forever. When the moods of the user and those around them are buoyant or contented, the LSD experience can be highly enjoyable. However, a trip can also be extremely unsettling if moods are low and thoughts take a sombre, or even macabre, turn.

    “My first acid trip was very revealing, I had conversations with myself that I’d been avoiding for a while and I felt at peace with myself and like I didn’t have to fight with myself anymore. I had so much energy and I could see the motion of things like they were recorded in 60fps for a while. It was a great trip for a first time and I definitely would like to try it again.” — Verbalraccoon

  • 8 Health Benefits Of Using Marijuana You Probably Never Knew

    8 Health Benefits Of Using Marijuana You Probably Never Knew

    Growing up in Lagos, adults constantly drilled me about how negative ‘Igbo’ (weed) is to the body. Something that would lead you into madness and losing control of your humanity. Now, I’m much older and I know they were just bullshitting me.

    Marijuana has left a negative light over the last few years, countless medical studies have uncovered the potential medical benefits of marijuana, which help medical conditions such as; nausea caused by chemotherapy, and wasting caused by AIDS. Since then, a number of studies have been done to unlock more secrets and how it can be better used.

    We read through a few of the benefits and made a list of medical benefits of marijuana you probably never knew!

    Help If you’re suffering from a panic/anxiety attack

    Marijuana has been medically approved to treat PTSD. Naturally occurring cannabinoids, similar to THC, help control the system that causes fear and anxiety in the body and brain.

    In 2010, researchers at Harvard University suggested that another of the drug’s benefits may actually be reduced anxiety, which would improve the smoker’s mood and act as a sedative in low doses. 

    NB: Higher doses may increase anxiety and make you paranoid.

    It helps reverse the carcinogen effects of tobacco, and improve lung health for cigarette smokers

    In January 2012, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that marijuana improved lung functions, and even increased lung capacity. Researchers found out that only pot users showed an increase in lung capacity, compared to the tobacco smokers who lost lung function over time. It is believed that the increased lung capacity is due to the deep breaths taken while inhaling.

    It can be used as a pain reliever, and has helped with nausea from chemotherapy, and stimulates appetite

    One of the most common uses of medical marijuana is for cancer patients going through chemotherapy, Marijuana can help reduce these side effects, reducing pain, decreasing nausea, and stirring up the appetite. 

    There are hundreds of chemical compounds in cannabis, many of which are cannabinoids. Cannabinoids have been linked to providing relief of chronic pain due to their chemical makeup. Which is why cannabis’ by-product such as medical cannabis is commonly used for chronic pain relief.

    Mend Bones

    Cannabidiol has been linked to helping heal broken bones, quickening the process, it also helps strengthen the bone in the process of healing. This makes it tougher for the bone to break in the future.

    Helps with ADHD/ADD

    Individuals with ADHD/ADD have trouble focusing on tasks at hand. They tend to have problems with cognitive performance and concentration. Cannabis has shown promise in promoting focus and helping individuals with ADHD/ADD. It is also considered a safer alternative to Adderall and Ritalin.

    Regulate and prevent diabetes

    Cannabis can help regulate and prevent diabetes due to its impact on insulin. Research conducted by the American Alliance for Medical Cannabis (AAMC) has linked cannabis to stabilise blood sugars, lower blood pressure, and improve blood circulation.

    Sleep management

    The relaxing effects of marijuana may help improve sleep disorders, such as insomnia, improved sleep may also occur when pain is reduced from marijuana usage.

    Helps treat depression

    Depression is fairly widespread without most people even knowing they have it. The endocannabinoid compounds in cannabis can help in stabilizing moods which can ease depression.

  • 5 Facts You Should Know Before You Tell Your Parents You Use Marijuana

    5 Facts You Should Know Before You Tell Your Parents You Use Marijuana

    For avid cannabis users, there’s always the impending doom that comes with your parents finding out you smoke weed. We’ve all been there, especially coming from Nigeria that has a generally conservative older generation. And it can be a mess explaining to them considering the fact that Marijuana is still illegal in the country.

    The discussion goes downhill from there especially if your parents find out in a fucked up situation. One where you’re not prepared to have the conversation and you’re scrambling for any excuse in reach. Things usually get really weird and complex after. No matter how ‘cool’ your parents seem to be it just irks them knowing their child ‘smokes weed’. It’s hard for your parents to see you the same way again.

    Weed has become popular globally, first world countries continue to legalize it and it’s not really a bad thing anymore. Unfortunately, our parents don’t understand this. However, I felt way better when I told my parents because I was tired of the sneaking around and lying. I didn’t have my facts right so I got screwed by my folks but fuck it, cat’s out the bag.

    I think everyone should be able to share this ‘pot-smoking’ side with their parents along with reasons you use marijuana. So, we gathered a few facts you should keep handy when you talk to your parents about cannabis. Goodluck, and apologies ahead if none of this works.

    Marijuana Is Not A Gateway Drug.

    Weed is commonly known as the “gateway drug”, the first drug on your way to hard drugs and the start of your downfall.

    Well, that’s bullshit. When it comes to cannabis, the “gateway drug” theory has never been proven. Not only is there a lack of evidence that marijuana use correlates with the subsequent use of hard drugs, but there’s also a growing body of research indicating the very opposite. Research has revealed that individuals in states where marijuana laws are less restrictive are less likely to die from, or misuse, opioids, for example. And many people are also more likely to use cannabis as a substitute for countless pharmaceuticals.

    You Don’t Have To “Smoke” Marijuana To Derive The Plant’s Benefits

    Most parents hang of the fact that you’re now a ‘smoker’, which irritates them even more so when you’re placing your argument its good to inform them that bongs, blunts, and joints aren’t the only ways you can administer cannabis these days. There are so many other options. Topical creams, gel capsules, sublingual sprays, tinctures—these are just a few examples that demonstrate the versatility of cannabis consumption in the 21st century.

    Weed is Safer Than Booze

    This is probably the easiest fact card to pull, but if you’ve got a parent who detests marijuana—but finds a glass of wine at dinner comforting and socially acceptable—it might be worth challenging some societal norms here. Marijuana is about 114 times less deadly than alcohol, according to a 2015 study and causes fewer deaths too.

    Nobody Has Ever Died From A Marijuana Overdose. Ever

    In Lagos, the typical poster boys for smoking weed were the ‘agberos’ who had nothing important to do. Supposedly weed would put you in reckless situations that risk your life.

    But decades of research, including a 2017 report published by none other than the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) itself, has made one fact clear: nobody has ever died from a marijuana overdose.

    Weed Has Health Benefits & Different Strains

    Different strains give you a calmer and more relaxed high than what’s typically painted.

    A few conditions cannabis use is known to treat, which have been firmly established through peer-reviewed research: pain (both physical and neuropathic), muscular spasms, epilepsy, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and nausea. Consuming cannabis isn’t singularly about getting high. Strains, dosing, and forms of consumption matter. There shouldn’t be any shame in getting high for the sake of getting high, and they should understand that too.

    This Won’t Always Be The Easiest Conversation, So be Prepared.

  • How does smoking colorado feel like? 4 people shared their experiences with us

    How does smoking colorado feel like? 4 people shared their experiences with us

    Sometime in Uni, I caught wind of some colorado ‘weed’ that was the talk of the block. Supposedly, it was touted as some very strong loud, although from my experience, loud doesn’t make you go batshit crazy. Because of this, I didn’t seek to try it, but it’s still been on my mind.

    So what is Colorado? 

    I did some research and discovered that it’s synthetic cannabis known as ‘Spice’ in other parts of the world. Colorado should be much cheaper than weed, but Nigerian dealers make a killing off the hype that it’s high grade loud. The recipe is super strong cannabinoid molecules sprayed on ground herbs which attach to the body’s endocannabinoid system. 

    THC and CBD partially attach to this system, while colorado fully attaches and activates the cannabinoid receptors. Synthetic cannabinoids were first developed by an American chemist named John Huffman in Clemson University, South Carolina. The formula found its way out of his lab and now other scientists continue to develop it. 

    Each batch of colorado has a different chemical compound as scientists continue to experiment to remain technically legal. This is why people experience different highs because it’s not the same thing. Effects span across difficulty breathing, numbness, nausea, sweats, shakes, and unconsciousness. In extreme cases, it can cause psychotic episodes and may aggravate existing mental-health illnesses in susceptible users.

    Colorado weed

    Unlike weed, Colorado doesn’t show in standard drug tests. Which is why its recreational use is alluring to people looking to duck one. 

    I spoke with several people who use or have used Colorado, and their varying experiences are a testament to the wildcard that is Colorado

    Pikachu, 19

    Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with it. As long as you do it in moderation, but I don’t recommend it because people are different.

    My first time I was scared shitless, but to my friend, it’s light work so she just told me to calm down. So after my initial gra gra I was ready. I got high as hell after the first two hits, crazy high. Then I texted my friends about it while I was high and most of them were judging me like omg what have I just done but then one of my friends was like “Just cause Colorado is synthetic doesn’t mean it’s bad. It’s kinda like LSD”

    I have depression and anxiety and suicidal ideation and shit. Maybe that was a factor that made me jump in cause I tend to do a lot of self-destructive things.

    There are two ways to smoke it; straight, or you mix it with nicotine or green tea if you’re feeling fancy. Smoking it straight is what will fuck you up and make you do crazy shit. Mixing it might not if you’re lucky.

    Most people smoke it cause it doesn’t smell and it won’t show If you take a drug test. Or they just want to be crazy high. Cause it’s way more expensive than regular weed.

    The high is intense af but it only lasts like 30-45 minutes for me, some people could legit go crazy from just trying it. There’s this tingly feeling you get like you’re doing something forbidden. Then comes the feeling that you can actually run mad if your village people decide to punish you. 

    When I’m bragging to people about how it doesn’t affect me that badly they tell me something “Colorado doesn’t respect anybody oh”

    Colorado high is different from weed high, I like both. Both are great. I prefer edibles and the high from edibles are intense too so balance.

    Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with it. As long as you do it in moderation, but I don’t recommend it because people are different. I guess you just have to hate yourself enough. Like me 🙂

    Anonymous, 21

    Hated it.

    My first experience was just random cause I’d been hearing about it, I hated it. I had a battle with a spider on the balcony the whole time smoking it and I felt like it won. I left there feeling choked by a spider web in my throat. 

    On a scale of calmly high to losing my shit, I was two calm highs away from losing my shit. Now I know it’s definitely not organic. My advice to anyone curious to try it: keep the vibes around you right.

    Sam, 25

    Never trying it again, and I’d say it’s not worth the try. Not even one bit.

    On a calm Friday afternoon. I received a call from my friend Ayo telling me about his intentions to come stay the weekend at mine and he was also bringing along a new strain of fire weed. Without thinking twice, I called his bluff. Told him “I’ve smoked all kinds of strains” so I was definitely not tripping over no Nigerian weed.

    8 pm, Ayo, Sodiq (another friend) and I were posted on a block not too far from my yard. Homeboy brought out the weed (Colorado), it was dark so I couldn’t tell what it looked like which looking back now was a very naive mistake.

    He lit it up, took 4 puffs and passed it to me. Told me to take two puffs and I did then passed it on to my boy Sodiq. Not up to 2 minutes later, I was completely paralysed, although, aware of my surroundings, I couldn’t move and I had the most intense stomach ache.

    I must have been stuck in this position for about 10-15 minutes. I was only able to snap back into reality after listening to music and slowly realizing I could move some parts of my body.

    Safe to say if that stuff ain’t weed cause I been smoking weed for 10 years and rightly consider myself a connoisseur at this point. Never trying it again, and I’d say it’s not worth the try. Not even one bit.

    Dr. Zero, 25

    It’s an experience, it’s best not to freak out, and don’t smoke it like regular weed. Most especially don’t do strong head with it.

    My first time I was told it was a “loud hybrid” and yeah I believed. They said one puff only, I took like 3 puffs from a J of it mixed with SK. It was intense, almost like weed joint spiked with coke. It’s sort of like when you overdose on booze and the earth starts shaking. But without the puking.

    I don’t blame people who thought they ran mad. I would’ve too if I didn’t think it was weed. Or if I wasn’t warned beforehand to be calm. I sha knew it would calm down in the end, and it did. Actually, I drove home with the high, although I don’t remember the drive. I just remember driving out of the hotel compound.

    It came in a ketchup cup. A full ketchup cup is like 50 or 60k. Then they sell in pinches. I know cause I used to resell. A pinch or two (the amount enough for a J mix for like 5 people) is 2k5. 

    When I would smoke weed then I’d still feel the weed high, although I wasn’t monitoring my weed tolerance. I think it killed my weed tolerance. I smoked a lot back then. Just weed alone could’ve killed my tolerance.

    It’s an experience, it’s best not to freak out, and don’t smoke it like regular weed. Most especially don’t do strong head with it. I stopped mixing and smoked straight for a while, and even then, I don’t think I ever passed 3 puffs. The joint won’t even allow you. Just don’t smoke in public, and smoke around real friends and stay calm.

    Best advice. Don’t do drugs! Buy loud. There’s some pretty strong pure loud out there, Indicas especially. Kind of the same high with more puffs, you’ll feel the same shaking high, and it’s cleaner.

  • Six fruits you can smoke cannabis out of.

    Six fruits you can smoke cannabis out of.

    Generally, stoners are crafty and creative when grinders, filters or rolling papers are unavailable. In an absence of papers, fruits are the best alternatives. You’d be surprised at the fruits you can smoke with when you’re in a tight spot.

    If you’re a pothead living through the lockdown, you’ve probably faced the common problem of restocking on your supplies. This is doubly harder due to the lockdown and this is a huge bummer.

    I was recently talking to a friend who ran out of rolling papers and couldn’t find any store around that was open. Because of that, she’s been sober for days, so this prompted me to find alternative solutions to this problem.

    Here’s a list of six fruits you can smoke with and how to reverse-engineer them.

    Apples

    Apples are probably the most common fruit I’ve seen people smoke out of. It’s the easiest to turn into a bong and you can get an Apple basically anywhere.

    Instructions: The first step to making an apple bowl is to create a hole from the top down to the centre. This acts as the bowl area for the dry herb. You should also cut the top of the apple, which will create more space for your herb.

    Next, create a hole from the side of the apple into the centre, connected to the bowl chamber. Lastly, create another channel to the side of the mouthpiece for the carb hole. Lo and behold, a fruity smoking device is born!

    fruits you can smoke with

    Pineapples

    Pineapples are perfect for an improvised bong.

    Instructions: Remove the centre of the pineapple, there should be a fairly circular hollow section in the middle. Using a small but precise knife, create another hole on the side of the pineapple on a downward angle.

    Insert a downstem from a broken bong you might have around. Alternatively, you can use another hollowed-out cylindrical fruit, or plastic tubing. Then, put a bowl at the end of the downstem.

    As you prepare to finish it off, fill the pineapple with water. Then, insert the mouthpiece at the top. For this step, you can use either a new bong mouthpiece or another fruit.

    Take a hit, and adjust your water levels as needed. Thanks to the tropical taste, you may even prefer this piece to your glass pipe.

    Watermelons

    The spherical shape coupled with its larger size makes the melon a powerhouse fruit for smokers who want to take huge rips. The process for this one is simple:

    Instructions: Make one hole descending from the top straight down to the centre, there’s your bowl piece. The next hole from the side meets the first chamber through the centre, and you have a mouthpiece.

    Rotate 90 degrees and repeat, and you’ve got your carb. Load it up and inhale deeply for a huge fruity hit.

    fruits you can smoke with

    Avocados

    Avocados have become quite popular around the world recently. People are putting them on toast, juicing it, and just eating them alone. They’re one of the best fruits you can smoke with.

    Instructions: Much like other fruits, the beginning of this process is similar. Start by making a hole at the top of the avocado (the narrow part), going through to the centre. Next, make an incision on the side, which will serve as the carb.

    Finally, make another hole on the top of the avocado (above the pit), which will be the bowl area.

    For the largest hits, add in another avocado. Fashion the second avocado into a bowl extension, which will increase the number of dry herbs you can use. Put this piece into the bowl area, and fire up.

    Carrots

    Carrots make great pipes.

    Instructions: Using your pen/pencil, create a hole in the top of the carrot. Make sure the hole extends through the carrot at least 1/2 to 3/4 of the way.

    Create another hole that is perpendicular to the current hole/tunnel you’ve made in the carrot thereby joining the two holes.

    Add your bowl and voila you have a simple carrot pipe!

    fruits you can smoke with

    Oranges

    How: Find yourself a proportionate, orange that is not too small. Drill or push a stick through the top of the orange to the midpoint of the fruit.

    Do the same through the side so that the two drilled out channels are interconnected inside the fruit. Again, shove a hollowed-out pen into the side as a mouthpiece

    Cut around the top hole of the orange to the diameter you wish to have for packing herb. Pack some up and light it up.

    P.s. For the best effect, after you carve up the orange let it sit for an hour or two to dry.

  • 5 weed strains to help melt away pandemic anxiety.

    5 weed strains to help melt away pandemic anxiety.

    These are terrifying times indeed. Millennials and Generation Z are experiencing the first single event that brings the entire world to a halt in their lifetime. Even if you do not live in a coronavirus hotspot, you’re probably always tracking the news and asking yourself ‘when is this going to end?‘ The reality is that no one can give us the answers or accurately forecast the timeframe and effects of the pandemic. That just makes the entire thought of it overwhelming and breeds panic and stress steadily.

    There’s so much talk about avoiding use of substances but no one has come up with alternative pandemic relaxation techniques so why not. When you use marijuana responsibly, there is potential for it to treat a variety of conditions, including anxiety. However, before consumption, it is important to acquaint yourself with the types of strains available so you know which is best for you. We encourage you communicate with your doctor if you choose to use marijuana therapeutically, especially if there are medication interactions to consider.

    The strains listed below are just a few of the many strains that could help with panic relief. If you have any other suggestions on how to treat anxiety with marijuana, let us know by posting them in the comments section.

    White Widow (Sativa Dominant Marijuana Hybrid)

    White Widow is a sativa dominant hybrid. It is a cross of a South Indian indica and a South American sativa. It promotes a full-bodied, ‘spacey’ high, which makes it a popular choice for patients with anxiety or PTSD. With a THC content of between 18% and 25%, novices should opt for a less potent herb. White Widow provides the perfect blend of euphoria and stimulation and be used to relieve mood disorders.

    Granddaddy Purple (aka Grand Daddy Purp or GDP)

    This hybrid that was first propagated in Northern California in 2003 by breeder Ken Estes, it is a cross between Purple Urkle and Big Bud. The strain is THC-dominant and eases you into a peaceful mindset while urging your body to release all that stress and tension. Sink in and let the trees blow your mindsets over.

    Sour OG (Cross of OG Kush and Sour Diesel)

    If you’re in search of a mellow and relaxing strain that may help with stress and anxiety, you just found an excellent choice for relief. Its conservative THC level is around 13-17 per cent which makes it is less likely to cause side effects than other more potent strains. Because of its ability to induce relaxation without causing sleepiness, most people tend to use it as an afternoon delight and energy booster. Sour OG is also an award-winner, it received first prize in the ‘hybrid’ category in the 2011 High Times Medical cannabis cup.

    Bubba Kush (Heavy hybrid strain)

    Bubba Kush is a classic indica with a sedative high that leaves consumers relaxed but still functional. It has a typically high THC content, ranging from 15% to 22%. Bubba’s high begins with a warped, disoriented sensation in the head giving way for a body melt that intensifies as the high wears on. According to Leafly, muscles ease with heaviness as dreamy euphoria blankets the mind, crushing stress while bringing happy moods.

    Lemon Garlic OG

    This particular strain boasts of a chemical composition that’s capable of reducing stress and anxiety and replace with a fortified sense of calm. This strain is a rich, balanced blend of limonene that always delivers relief. The heady blend of citrusy, garlic and earthy pine notes offer some excellent aromatherapy.

  • 6 Ways To Enjoy Your 4/20 During The Lockdown.

    6 Ways To Enjoy Your 4/20 During The Lockdown.

    If you’re a stoner then you’re super excited about today because it’s one of those rare moments, we’re experiencing a 4/20 on a 4/20 which is the fourth month of the year, on the 20th during 2020. If this was an anime it’ll be the day all the potheads find out their true power or some shit.

    Unfortunately, all our plans of having friends over, going on epic weed-related journeys and just having a fucking blast today have been cut to the minimum because Coronavirus has everyone on house arrest. It’s the fucking worst, we completely understand.

    We still can’t let the day just go to waste because we’re stuck at home, so we’ve decided to make the best of it by highlighting activities we can still enjoy super high within the four walls of our personal space. Whether you are with friends during the lockdown or flying Han style (you know, Solo) there are plenty of really excellent ways to enjoy your THC.

    We will be talking about a few today. Why? Because you are a stoner and you deserve the best things to do while high. Let’s get straight into it.

    Read on for a list of the best things to do when stoned.

    Play Marijuana Games (If You’re With Friends)

    Weed games can be a good way to waste the day if you’re lucky to be in the lockdown with other stoner friends. The games are typically fun and they can lead to legitimate bonding if done right.

    Never Have I Ever

    The same way the game has always been played, but with one twist. When you have done the “never have I ever” action, you take a hit of bud.

    Bong Pong

    Exactly like beer pong except that you commemorate successful shots with a toke instead of a drink. It’s much better.

    Hold Your Smoke

    For hold your smoke to work best, you need a fairly sizable group of people. It’s a simple game. Circle up, and start puff, puff, passing. The idea is to hold your smoke until the joint comes back to you.

    If you don’t manage it, you’re out.

    The Quintessential Drinking Game. But With Cannabis

    One of the most prominent drinking game is to watch a movie, and take a shot anytime characters use a certain phrase. Naturally, this is a game that works well with pot as well.

    For added fun, try watching a stoner flick while you do it.

    Playing Board Games.

    Playing your favourite board game with friends while smoking hella weed could be pretty fun too.

    Play Video Games and Watching Cartoons (obviously)

    Things to Watch While High Alone.

    Everyone has their own taste in films especially when they’re high but here’s a list of a few films to enjoy when you’re high.

    • Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle
    • Dogma

    Improve Your Smoking With Smoking Tricks And Rolling Tricks.

    Smoking can be fun when you know how to do a few tricks just to keep things interesting. You could also learn different ways of rolling, from the popular cross joint or something completely unique. The sky is your limit.

    Smoking Tricks.

    Creating while high.

    Does it work? Doesn’t it? Creativity in an altered state of mind is not exactly new. We all know that Papa Hemingway liked his booze. And Hunter S. Thompson and William S. Burroughs would take, well. Anything.

    For some people creating high can help open a new connection to their individuality that they’ve never experienced before and what better day to try that out?

    “Are people more creative when they’re high? It ultimately depends on the individual. Creativity is difficult to scale in an objective sense, but there is certainly merit to giving marijuana a shot the next time you create. It may just lower your inhibitions, and get what you’re creating flowing faster than ever before.“

    Deep Conversations.

    Have good ol’ fashion conversations. This could work if you’re with friends and if you’re not you could always call/text someone and just vibe about how crazy this year has been and what the fuck is next?

    Fuck or Masturbate.

    After a long day of consuming weed, creating, interacting, there’s nothing better then pleasuring yourself or if you’re lucky to be with your partner having some incredibly bomb ass sex!

  • How it Feels Like to be Drug Tested by Nigerian Parents: First-Hand Accounts.

    How it Feels Like to be Drug Tested by Nigerian Parents: First-Hand Accounts.

    When it comes to being intrusive and violating kid’s privacy, Nigerian parents deserve the Ballon d’Or. The way Nigerian Parents react to finding out their kids smoke weed is akin to finding out they have a murderer in their household. I won’t be going into emotional blackmail, gaslighting, et al. but getting drug tested by them is quite as high up the ladder of exasperation.

    Drug testing damages trust, kids can’t look at their parents the same after they’ve been forced to pee in a cup. Whether the result comes out positive or negative, some resentment will continue to linger in the air unless appropriately addressed. And because it’s possible to cheat drug tests, they don’t necessarily stop anyone from doing drugs, they just get more creative and dishonest. 

    So what’s it like actually being in this precarious position? I interviewed a couple of people who’ve been drug-tested by their parents and the stories, in typical Nigerian parent fashion, go from zero to a hundred real quick.

    *Aliases have been used to protect the privacy of people whose privacy has already been invaded.

    After crossover service January 1 2017, I was smoking with my brothers after church and one of my “aunties” told my mum. But the way she told me, she said that when she was praying in church earlier she had a vision of me doing drugs. Then lo and behold, I had to go take a drug test.

    The first time was alright, the people there were quite nice but it was weird cause I had to pee and one of the nurses made me face him so he could see me pee. That shit was mad uncomfortable. The whole thing has lasted three years, sometimes it was only when I was back in naij, but there were couple times where they would send my uncle to test me in uni, like he’ll just pull up and knock on my door, one time he even came when I was with a girl. When that wasn’t enough, they hired a private investigator to follow me. 

    I feel genuine resentment now, whenever they wanna bond with me I feel so uncomfortable. Being around them makes me sick, no lie. I just gotta firm it till after uni so that they’ll let me go to Canada. Then once I go there I’ll get permanent residency and just not go back. But until then, I just gotta manage.

    My dad found out I was smoking from my uncle, the drug test was a surprise really. I was staying with my mum in the hospital after she’d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and my dad comes into her room and is like “You should get a check-up too, to know if you have it as well” I didn’t argue and went to the doctor’s office. The doctor was like whenever he sees new teenage patients he always likes to do a drug test to make sure they aren’t on any drugs. I knew I was positive because I had smoked that morning lmao, but I was like fuck it, he already knows so what is really the point. 

    I did the urine test knowing fully well that I’d be positive for marijuana and when the results came I was. My dad was telling the doctor to please advice me, and I kept saying that I’m not a child and you people should be able to trust someone’s decision-making skills when it concerns their own life. It’s just marijuana guys. I was negative for all the other drugs because I only smoke weed. 

    I later found out it was a set up between the doctor and my dad because the man wasn’t writing anything down while he was evaluating me for bipolar disorder and didn’t bring it up again. Also, my dad tried to do the same thing with my junior brother months later.

    The entire ordeal made me feel shortchanged, the fact that he had to lie to me. this was like 2 years ago and they’ve since accepted who I am. I don’t rub it in their faces but they aren’t surprised when I smell like smoke. 

    Tayo Tyler (M, 25)

    I was suicidal in university and I can remember going through a really hard time in my year three. I had a bad panic attack one day and broke down, I needed someone to talk to so I spoke to my aunt. I was hysterical on the phone sounding crazy and she asked me if I was smoking in school and I said yes, not knowing she was going to make that a big deal (because she was the cool aunt and we already had a discussion about weed before that).

    Anyway, she tells my dad about the suicide thing and he tells me to come home. While I’m home my dad says I should meet up with my aunts in his office and we’ll have a round table discussion about what I’m going through. The day of the meeting comes, I’m there trying to share my emotions, and then right in the middle of the conversation my aunt shouts ‘it’s because of the weed you’re smoking’. My dad picks up on that, turns to me and asks if I smoke weed and I say yes.

    We were already in the hospital because my dad’s a doctor but because I told them I had stopped my dad kept having doubts. So after the discussion, he told me to go to a lab and pee just to confirm. So I peed and went home.

    He brought the results home (it was obviously positive) and then we had a long talk about how angry and irritated he was at me for doing ‘drugs’ and he’s sure that the reason I’m depressed is that I’m doing the wrong things. This just made me even sadder cause the ‘drugs’ were the only thing keeping me alive. It was crazy for the longest because my dad hates anything smoking, the same as my mum, probably because they’re both surgeons.

    He made it known that he was disappointed in me. He brought drug test kits from the pharmacy and would randomly tell me to pee in it. My mum kept calling me and crying about how I’m breaking her heart. All that made me more depressed cause I know for a fact that weed was not my problem, it wasn’t a problem but they made me seem like the devil himself because I smoke some pot.

  • Lagos Vice City Edition: Where and how to smoke weed in peace.

    Lagos Vice City Edition: Where and how to smoke weed in peace.

    Being a pothead in a country that still hasn’t legalised weed can be a fucking drag. You’re literally a walking target for everyone to pick on, next to the devil, ‘Igbo smokers’ are right up there with the scum of the earth — from a Nigerian perspective anyway. — It’s tricky going out with a substance you can’t be seen within publicly.

    Every day you’re living through different stages of anxiety. You’re either dodging the cops or evading SARS, or trying to find the perfect spot that allows you to have a simple smoke without being judged.

    With some experience under my belt cause of my bad habit of smoking Marijuana around Gidi I can share some tips on navigating without getting your day ruined.

    According to a new report from cannabis analytics firm New Frontier Data and first reported by BusinessDay, the African nation of Nigeria is the leader in global cannabis consumption. Nigeria currently has an estimated 20.8 million pot consumers lighting up annually, with more than $15 billion spent on weed every year. Despite the high consumption rates, cannabis sales are illegal in Nigeria, though the western state of Ondo is considering a medical marijuana program. 

    Know The Hot Zones.

    Lagos sort of works with a predictable rhythm that occasionally throws you curveballs but you can actually still hack the system. The first thing is knowing the hot zones. Depending on where you live in Lagos, you’ll have certain routes that are known for having checkpoints, and random police or SARS presence.

    You’ll need to know the times these stops occur and alternate routes you can pass.

    A few hot zones for police searches are.

    • Lekki Phase 1 Gate. 
    • Ikate Gate. 
    • Sabo Yaba
    • Allen Ikeja.
    • Anthony Newcastle.
    • Obalende 
    • Bode Thomas.

    There’s a lot, you can add yours.

    Loud In Public, Reggie Weed at Home.

    This is not a classist statement — I still smoke my Reggie Kush in public sometimes — but Loud smells way better and is easier to smoke in public without turning too many heads.

    Reggie can smell a bit too harsh and quite frankly terrible especially when you’re in an airtight, air-conditioned environment.

    Always Have A Safe Spot.

    The moment you leave your house with weed you always have to be on guard cause anything can happen. Legally you’re basically a moving criminal with an illegal substance.

    It’s smart to have safe spots in your car or fit that helps you conceal your weed. 

    It’s also advisable to not move around with a full smoking kit if you don’t own your own car. Instead, roll the J at home and move with just that. If you have a car find a safe spot in your car you always keep everything before you move, never be caught sleeping.

    Good luck out there.

  • Never Get Busted: How To Pass A Drug Test

    Never Get Busted: How To Pass A Drug Test

    If you work a government job or have parents who ask you to pee in a tube, then this post is definitely for you. If you’re still struggling to grasp the sort of drug test I am referring to, maybe you need to read our beginner guide to smoking weed.

    A common question among people who use drugs, marijuana specifically— is “How long will this drug stay in my body?” heroin, LSD and alcohol are all out of your system in a couple of days but it’s different for broccolis. The exact amount of time marijuana stays in the body will vary according to factors like the dose, the person’s age, weight, and sex, physical health, presence of other drugs in the body and even ethnicity.

    When you smoke, your lungs absorb THC within 10-15 minutes. This is why smoking hits faster than edibles. The next hour, “THC is metabolized in the liver by microsomal hydroxylation and oxidation catalyzed by enzymes of cytochrome P450 (CYP) complex” (Sharma, Murthy and Bharath, 2012). When professionals mention metabolism in this context, they really mean the break down of cannabis in the bloodstream, they don’t mean the metabolism that keeps you looking fit. For instance, I have a pretty fast metabolism, but that won’t help my body metabolize any THC.

    More than 65% of cannabis is excreted in the faeces and approximately 20% is passed in urine. The majority of THC in your body is eliminated in about five days, without you ever lifting a finger but there is still a small trace amount in the body.  This trace amount is the real issue. Cannabinoids can be detected in saliva, blood, urine, hair and nail using various analytical techniques, including immunoassays. Apparently urine is the preferred sample because of higher concentration and longer detection time of metabolites in it. 

    It’s important to note that the only way to ensure a 100% negative test is to abstain from drugs; but if you think you’re an outlier, here are a few tips and counter-myths to help you before an expert at beating drug tests.

    • Get same day detox products like Toxin Rid, Mega Clean, Xxtra clean and Aloe Rid. All of these are products that can throw off the sensitivity of the test, when diluted with urine. But you still have to be careful not to buy outdated adulterants; overtime the drug testing industry becomes aware of what these diluters are, and they either begin to screen for them, or they check some sort of composition of the urine that they anticipate will be altered when an adulterant is used.
    • Take 50 to 100 mg of vitamin B2, B12, or B complex to increase the chance of negative results.
    • Schedule your testing around the afternoon.
    • They lied to you. Going to the sauna won’t work, because THC adheres to fat, not water weight. Sorry, you have to burn fat to pass a test.
    • Burn fat. Unfortunately, the more fat cells you have the longer THC lingers in your system. It’s a no brainer, people with less body fat will be able to pass a drug test faster. If you’re applying to jobs or trying to be smarter than your parents/guardians, begin by cutting your body weight preemptively so that THC has less fat to adhere to.
    • The important thing to remember is to drink a ton of water and try to pee it out beforehand. You don’t want to give them concentrated morning piss so get that sh*t diluted. 
    • If you’re a heavy smoker and you want to be sure beforehand, get a powered urine kit.
    • The only method of cheating a drug test with consistent rate of success is by substituting urine, but that isn’t what we all advice you to do. Not today.
