Been a long week? Ready to blow off some steam and blow some clouds?
We thought so – check out this week’s 5 favorite videos, recommended by our Twitter (follow us here) friends and Stonyview site fans. Some puffing, some FAIL and some hilarious pranks will keep you entertained while you ease into weekend mode..
Ahhh Stonyviewers, can you believe it’s already been a month since our annual marijuana holiday: 4/20? Time flies when you’re gettin’ high, or something like that, right?
This week we’ve compiled a hilarious list of videos, with several ads. But these aren’t just any ads, mind you, they’re ads from our renegade ad creator friends: @happyjoel and the @pantlessknights along with what (we hope) is the most intentionally humorous product of all time: the Shake Weight exercise system. It’s sooooo uncomfortable to watch, but you can’t stop!
All across the Internet on 4/20/2010, people were talking about pot, getting stoned and most importantly, 420. So, we thought that we’d round up some of our favorite content and share it with all of you, in case you were too busy getting stoned to notice it all!
As we’ve talked about before, we here at Stonyview are big fans of Vaporizers, since they produce a cleaner, healthier, longer lasting high. The absolute pinnacle of Vaporizers, the Volcano, is an epic piece that will make any stoner extraordinarily happy. Since it costs quite a penny, it’s worth it to make sure that you’re cleaning the Volcano regularly and maintaining it. Here’s a great piece from Masterbong420 on how to do that:
From what we’ve been hearing, a lot of you preferred when we just made a playlist and strung together our hilarious videos, so we’re going back to that. Let us know if you disagree!
What’s that you say? You didn’t know that there could be mold in the pot you’re smoking in trace amounts? Or that some specific types of mold are really toxic and particularly dangerous for medical marijuana patients seeking to use cannabis to relieve their pain and suffering? Yes, that’s right, the mold Aspergillus could be present and could be doing exactly the opposite of what people are hoping for. From a fascinating article on a lab in Oakland that tests pot comes this information and more:
A 2008 guidebook, “The Marijuana Medical Handbook,” warns of Aspergillus, a mold that can appear in marijuana and numerous other agricultural products. It can be dangerous for seriously ill people, such as AIDS and cancer patients using pot to treat nausea or other side effects.
“There have been reports of aspergillosis, a lung infection caused by inhalation of spores from the Aspergillus fungus,” wrote California marijuana researchers Dale Gieringer and Ed Rosenthal and Washington physician Gregory Carter.
Something to be aware of folks! Be safe out there.
