Marijuana Was Legal At the Federal Level In The Sixties
This one is right out of Old Hippie’s infamous stash of little-known facts. In the process of doing some historical research, I found some interesting tidbits. Today is, at least according to one source, exactly 75 years since the U.S. House of Representatives passed the dangerous and illegal Marihuana Tax Act of 1937, based largely […]
How To Blast Off With Nutella Firecrackers
Well, it’s been a little over a year since the last time I made weed firecrackers, and last night I thought I would try again. Except that the last time was quite a trip, and I sort of wanted to avoid that kind of drama, as I just wanted the effects and not the excitement. So […]
Snoop Gets Dogged By The Fuzz
Literally just hours after the mainstream media picked up on a month-old interview with Snoop Dogg in which he said he wanted to smoke up President Obama in the White House and get him to legalize marijuana, the news came out that Snoop himself was busted on Saturday. This happened right near where Willie Nelson was […]
Ask Old Hippie: Why Am I Waking Up Sick After Going To Bed Stoned?
Q: What’s up? I’m from Austin and I’ve been smoking for about 2 years now and I was wondering if the reefer can physically make you sick, because I’ve been waking up every morning sick and I always go to bed stoned. Could it be the reefer that’s doing that or is it most likely […]
Ask Old Hippie: How Has Marijuana Changed Since The Sixties?

Sometimes we saw little pieces of crushed flower, and we were amazed: it was actual proof that it came from an actual plant! Even on the […]

Reuters reports that a huge grow operation was found in Baja California, involving a crew of “dozens of men” and an estimated yield of over 130 tons of marijuana. They claim it’s the single largest “plantation” ever found in Mexico, a country already known for growing large quantities of weed and our top importing country. […]
“States Should Make Their Own Decisions”: Obama
Last Thursday, members of Congress submitted HB 2306, a bill that would end Federal prohibition of marijuana completely and allow each state to decide whether they wanted to ban it, regulate it, or simply legalize it. There’s been quite a lot of discussion since then about how it would work, whether it would work, it’s never […]
Eight States Have Banned Tylenol In Anti-Marijuana Hysteria
It’s called the Law Of Unintended Consequences, also known as “what happens when a bunch of ignorant legislators try to interfere with people’s lives without having a clue.” According to a press release apparently from the Retail Compliance Association (a trade association for sellers of “synthetic marijuana”, a.k.a. “spice”), eight states, including Texas, Wisconsin, and […]
Safe, Legal Access To Marijuana Is A Basic Human Right
…and it says so right in the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Sounds pretty good […]
