Learn How To Pass A Drug Test

Stuff Stoners Like have put together one of the best and most definitive guides on how to pass a drug test.
As marijuana legalization spreads across the nation and more states allow adults to smoke pot—more people will be forced to submit to a drug test. The most popular being the urine drug test seems to be an embarrassing assault on privacy. But there are several other drug tests out there including a hair, mouth swab and blood drug test and we’ll touch on how to beat them in this post.
Sure certain professionals within safety-sensitive industries like healthcare, defense, law enforcement and transportation should be drug tested, federal law requires it and that’s understandable. However most employers aren’t legally obligated to test potential or current employees for drug use—especially marijuana. Trade-schools.net claims that between 40 and 65 percent of today’s employers look to drug test or drug screen employees or potential hires whether they are required to or not. Why do em..

Factors To Consider For Improved Harvest Of Auto Flowering Cannabis

Auto-flowering cannabis offers many fascinating benefits that allows the most inexperienced grower to cultivate a cannabis plant with amazingly considerable success.
An Auto-flowering cannabis plant has many distinctive advantages over conventional cannabis plants. For this reason it makes them suitable for cultivation mostly (but not only) for beginners. The most appealing advantages of Auto-flowering plant is hinged on the fact that it’s not affected by the 12/12 stipulated light cycle that is required for conventional cannabis plant to grow and produce flower. An auto-flowering seed is relatively convenient when compared to regular cannabis with a higher level of resilience that makes it suitable to grow in variety of conditions. There are a lot of guides on the web for learning more.
While the auto-flowering is suitable for a variety of acceptable reasons, the dwarfish Ruderalis strain which is one of the major strains of auto-flowering cannabis is remarkably short. While cultiva..

Music To Smoke To: Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama – Chance The Rapper + Jeremih

Twenty Sixteen has been quite the year for Chance the Rapper and it’s been a special thing to watch.
I was first introduced to Chance when his Acid Rap mixtape dropped and I was enamored by his interesting sound. Since Acid Rap he’s been on a mission to carve his name next to some of the greats. He worked on Kanye’s The Life of Pablo and most recently dropped his mixtape Coloring Book that received rave reviews and led to a huge tour. He’s nominated for 7 Grammy’s including Best New Artist and Best Rap album, a first for streaming-only albums.
Last night my Twitter feed was abuzz with joy because Chance and Jeremih decided to drop a Christmas collaboration that’s just what we needed to end this crazy year. Merry Christmas Lil’ Mama has a special appearance from comedian Hannibal Buress (read about how this came about) on “All the Way” where he request that they “Put them Travis Scott effects on his shit”.
Merry Christmas Lil Mama is for Chicago, the hometown of Chance and Jeremih, b..

Gingerbread House Bong From @CoralReefer420

When you think about Christmas, what comes to mind?
I always think bright lights, candy canes, and gingerbread houses. Building gingerbread houses is a tradition I know a lot of you partake in. The activity never struck me as something that looked fun cuz it looks like it takes a lot of effort and creativity, two things I often times lack. This might change next year thanks to Pot Princess, Coral Reefer.
After receiving some suggestions from her #worldreefers, she accepted the challenge and put together a cute gingerbread house that is also a bong, let’s see how it works. Check out more from Coral on Twitter and YouTube.

Walla Walla County moves to ban medical pot operations

WALLA WALLA — Walla Walla county commissioners have voted to expand a ban on pot business operations to include medical marijuana.
The Union-Bulletin reports that the commissioners’ decision Monday to implement the new ban replaces a moratorium on medical marijuana operations that had been in place since June. Commercial recreational marijuana operations have been prohibited in unincorporated areas since 2014.
County planning consultant Bill Stalzer says the new medical marijuana ban doesn’t apply to individual patients who want to grow small amounts of pot for medical use.
State law allows individuals with authorization from a health care provider to grow up to four plants. Those who have state-issued medical marijuana cards can have as many as 15 plants.

Traffic fatalities down in states with medical pot

States with medical marijuana laws have fewer traffic fatalities than those without, especially among younger drivers, a new study found.
You would think crash rates might be higher, supposing that more drivers are, too — especially around midnight, when a run to a 7-Eleven is necessary.
But, no. Researchers at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health found an 11 percent reduction in traffic fatalities on average when examining places that have enacted medical marijuana laws — 23 states and the District of Columbia. The presence of medical marijuana dispensaries also correlated with fewer traffic fatalities, the study found.
Silvia Martins, a physician and associate professor who was the study’s senior officer, theorized that lower traffic fatality rates in states with marijuana laws might be related to lower levels of alcohol-impaired driving: People, especially younger people, began substituting weed for booze.
There was little evidence of reductions in the traffic f..

U.S. women increasingly use pot during pregnancy, study finds

CHICAGO — U.S. women are increasingly using marijuana during pregnancy, sometimes to treat morning sickness, new reports suggest. Though the actual numbers are small, the trend raises concerns because of evidence linking the drug with low birth weights and other problems.
In 2014, almost 4 percent of pregnant women said they’d recently used marijuana, up from 2.4 percent in 2002, according to an analysis of annual drug use surveys.
Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, said the results raise concerns and urged doctors and other health care providers to avoid recommending the drug for pregnant women. Volkow commented in an editorial published online Monday with the study in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
A separate study in the same journal found that almost 10 percent of adult marijuana users in the United States — 3 million people — have used it at least partly for medical reasons; 20 percent of these users live in states where medical..

Canadian task force wants to legalize pot

TORONTO — Canada’s government said Tuesday it would study a federal task force’s recommendation that Canadians over 18 years old be allowed to buy marijuana for recreational purposes and would announce new laws in the spring that would legalize pot.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has long promised to legalize recreational pot use and sales. If passed, Canada would be the largest developed country to end prohibition of recreational marijuana. Voters in California, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada voted Nov. 8 to approve the use of recreational marijuana, joining Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska, where it had previously been legalized.
The marijuana task force report, headed by former Canadian Liberal Health Minister Anne McLellan, recommended that adults could carry up to 30 grams for recreational purpose and grow up to four plants. It also recommended that higher-potency pot be taxed at a higher rate than weaker strains. And said recreational marijuana should not be sold in the ..

Oregon marijuana ads flourish on Craigslist

It started with making marijuana products at home for herself and her husband. Then, she thought, “People might buy these.”
The woman, who lives in Keizer, figured she could make money off a medical marijuana-filled, holiday-themed gift box.
The gift box had pot-infused body butter (“to rub on achy muscles”), massage oil (“perfect for the bedroom”), a 4-by-5 inch Rice Krispie edible and other treats. She makes it all herself and is proud of the body butter. She said it helped her mom’s foot arthritis.
The box costs $100. “I just thought it’d be a fun thing for Christmas,” she said.
She posted an ad for the pack, as many have done for marijuana in Oregon, through the online bazaar Craigslist.
As Oregon growers, processors and dispensaries in the legal cannabis business navigate state regulations and shortages on the marketplace, some people are looking to the online shopping website as an outlet for moving their pot.
Craigslist ads for marijuana are flourishing in the state, wheth..

Where things stand on weed in the workplace

BOSTON — Changing marijuana laws aren’t necessarily making weed more welcome in the workplace.
For now, many employers appear to be sticking with their drug testing and personal conduct policies, even in states where recreational marijuana use is now permitted. Others are keeping a close eye on the still-evolving legal, regulatory and political environment.
Voters in California, Massachusetts, Maine and Nevada voted Nov. 8 to approve the use of recreational marijuana, joining Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska, where it had previously been legalized. (A recount of Maine’s close result is scheduled.) More than two dozen states have medical marijuana programs.
But the drug is still against federal law.
A closer look at what it all means for workers and businesses:
• CAN MY EMPLOYER STILL TEST ME FOR POT?
Bottom line: You can’t come to work high. You can still be drug tested. And you can still be fired — or not hired — for failing a drug test even if you’re not the least bit im..

Report: Oregon’s strict pot rules hurting industry

SALEM, Ore. — A new report argues that Oregon’s strict rules around pesticide testing are hurting the state’s fledgling recreational marijuana industry.
The Statesman Journal reports that the report issued Wednesday says some businesses are closing their doors because of strained supplies.
The Oregon Health Authority started enforcing new testing regulations on Oct. 1.
Jonathan Modie, a spokesman for the state’s health agency, says the tight rules are intended to protect the public.
But economist Beau Whitney — a former marijuana executive — and the Oregon Cannabis Business Council say the rules are shifting business to the black market and costing pot entrepreneurs thousands.
Oregon made $40 million in tax revenue from recreational marijuana so far this year — but the report says that could drop $10 million in the fourth quarter.

Obama says marijuana should be treated like ‘cigarettes or alcohol’

In an “exit interview” with Rolling Stone magazine, President Barack Obama said that marijuana use should be treated as a public health issue similar to tobacco or alcohol and called the current patchwork of state and federal laws regarding the drug “untenable.”
“Look, I’ve been very clear about my belief that we should try to discourage substance abuse,” Obama said. “And I am not somebody who believes that legalization is a panacea. But I do believe that treating this as a public-health issue, the same way we do with cigarettes or alcohol, is the much smarter way to deal with it.”
Obama has made comments to this effect before. In a 2014 interview with The New Yorker he said that marijuana was less dangerous than alcohol “in terms of its impact on the individual consumer.” More recently, he told Bill Maher that “I think we’re going to have to have a more serious conversation about how we are treating marijuana and our drug laws generally.”
In the Rolling Stone interview published th..

What’s next for weed?

More than two years since legal recreational marijuana sales started, Washington pot businesses have seen more than $1.48 billion in total sales, raising more than $350 million in excise taxes, according to the state.
But while sales have almost only increased, questions about the future of the market linger.
Beyond the industry-unique issues of regulation and the fact that marijuana is still illegal federally, it’s not yet clear when the market, which saw volatile prices and supply issues during its early days, will start to balance out in terms of supply and demand.
“We’re two years into a very fledgling industry, so to some extent, the sort of unpredictable nature of this industry is to be expected,” Washington CannaBusiness Association Executive Director Vicki Christophersen said.
No gold mine yet Although jumpy prices and supplies have calmed down, the retail side of the industry remains highly competitive, especially in Vancouver, said Jim Mullen, a co-owner at The Herbery, a..

Oregon agencies warn pot growers of pesticide use

BEND, Ore. — State agencies are reminding marijuana producers to limit their use of pesticides in the wake of two recent public health alerts.
The Bend Bulletin reported that a letter from three state agencies warns that cannabis producers whose products test below “action levels” for permitted pesticides may still be violating state regulations if they use pesticides banned by the state Pesticide Control Act.
An action level is a low pesticide measure that the authority requires of testing laboratories as a measure of accuracy. Action levels do not indicate a safe level.
The letter, co-signed Monday by the heads of the Health Authority, Oregon Liquor Control Commission and Oregon Department of Agriculture, says growers that failed test results are referred to the Agriculture Department for further investigation.

Marijuana spending passes that of spirits

Tacoma — Marijuana sales passed a quiet milestone in Washington in the first three months of 2016.
For the first time, residents and visitors as a whole spent more on cannabis products than on hard alcohol, based on an analysis of purchase and tax records from two state agencies.
In the first quarter of 2016, people spent $19.1 million more on marijuana than spirits, which includes the cost of the products and associated taxes. By the second quarter, that gap was $52.3 million. Those amounts include state taxes.
Spirits sales include sales directly to customers as well as to bars or restaurants, but do not include wine and beer. Marijuana sales include all cannabis products but not paraphernalia.
In July, the state shuttered medical marijuana shops, sending all sales through licensed recreational marijuana storefronts. Sales at retail pot shops shot up by almost $100 million in the third quarter, to $398.2 million.
Third-quarter figures for spirits won’t be released until early ne..

Alcohol giant Constellations eyeing putting marijuana in beverages

Constellation Brands, the alcohol giant that sells Corona beer and Svedka vodka, is considering a new approach to livening up its beverages: marijuana.
“We’re looking at it,” Constellation Chief Executive Officer Rob Sands said in an interview. “There are going to be alcoholic beverages that will also contain cannabis.”
The legalization of marijuana across parts of the U.S. — spurred by election-night victories — is creating a huge new market for legal weed. Voters approved marijuana for recreational use in California, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada. That brings the tally of states with legal pot to eight, plus Washington, D.C., meaning one in five American adults now lives in an area where it is legal to get high.
Though marijuana has been viewed as a threat to the spirits industry, Sands sees it as an opportunity. The industry is expected to grow more than eightfold in the next decade, from $6 billion in 2015 to $50 billion by 2026, according to data from Cowen & Co. That’s about..

Oregon towns prep for legal pot

SALEM, Ore. — Some 30 counties and cities in Oregon approved some type of marijuana businesses in last week’s election, and officials in those communities now must establish rules for every step in the production and supply chain.
When voters legalized recreational marijuana statewide two years ago, the communities — from the cowboy town of Pendleton to Sweet Home in the Willamette Valley — opted out. But many switched it up this month, voting to allow at least some form of the pot industry, including medical marijuana.
“No one has done this in Oregon since liquor Prohibition,” said Scott Winkels, a lobbyist with the League of Oregon Cities. “This is the first time we’ve had to step in and develop and regulate a marketplace for a controlled substance since 1933.”
Local officials must determine operating hours for marijuana retailers, growing farms and processors. They also were trying to figure out whether the businesses should be allowed near parks and what sort of security and odo..

Oregon pot measure results mixed

SALEM, Ore. — Just a few yards from the Salem, Ore., city line, a customer strolled into the Herbal Remedies cannabis shop on Wednesday, and put his nose into two jars with pot strains on promotion: Black Licorice and Berry Funk. He drew in the aroma appreciatively, like a wine connoisseur savoring the smell of a fine cabernet sauvignon.
The shop, though, seems to be doomed at least for recreational sales.
It is in one of three dozen locales in Oregon where voters on Tuesday prohibited marijuana businesses, according to a list compiled by Rob Bovett, legal counsel for the of Association of Oregon Counties. Voters in another two dozen towns and counties decided to allow these businesses.
Two years after Oregon legalized recreational marijuana production, processing, sales and use, parts of the state are still sorting out whether to allow it in their own backyards.
For Herbal Remedies’ owner Jered Decamp, the shop is on the wrong side of the Salem city line. On the west side of Lanca..

Dog ate my brownie: Legalization fuels rise in high pets

Star, a petite 6-year-old sheltie who competes in dog agility shows, almost missed a contest this month. She had spent the previous night at the vet, totally stoned on marijuana.
Her drug trip was an accident. Star lives in Oregon, where recreational use of marijuana became legal last year. Her owner’s husband had left some loose-leaf pot on the dining room table, and Star got curious. That was days after her sister, Kicker, gobbled up a pot-infused hard candy she found in the car, leaving her wobbling and incontinent. A veterinarian gave both dogs activated charcoal to absorb the toxin, which contributed to nearly $3,000 in medical bills and caused Star to poop in the ring during her competition.
“It was a bad week,” said the dogs’ owner, Susan Fry, of South Lebanon, Ore.
But it was probably a fairly routine week for the clinic that treated the dogs. As more jurisdictions legalize marijuana, veterinarians across the country say they are seeing a sharp increase in cases of pets acci..

Big wins for legal pot, but path uncertain

LOS ANGELES — The number of Americans living in states with recreational marijuana more than tripled after at least three states voted to fully legalize the drug. But the election of Republican Donald Trump and GOP majorities in the Senate and House tempered advocates’ excitement about an easing of federal restrictions.
“There is a massive sense of momentum, and this will put a lot of pressure on the federal government,” said Ethan Nadelmann, founder of the nonprofit Drug Policy Alliance, a pro-legalization group. What gives him “real concern” is Trump.
Nadelmann and other advocates say the president-elect is “unpredictable,” and they are unsure where he stands on marijuana issues, though Trump has said in the past that he supports state laws legalizing medical marijuana.
Still, analysts and advocates alike say, the industry may be too big and valuable for a Trump administration to stop, especially after California voters legalized the recreational use of pot.
Seven states have now..

Legalization movement faces biggest test yet in 9 states

SAN FRANCISCO — The movement to legalize marijuana faced its biggest test yet Tuesday as voters in nine states, including the nation’s most populous, considered proposals to expand legal access to the drug, which is still forbidden by the federal government.
California, the first state to approve medical marijuana two decades ago, was among five states weighing whether to go beyond medical use and permit pot for adults for recreational purposes. The other states were Arizona, Maine, Massachusetts and Nevada.
If California votes “yes,” recreational cannabis would be legal along the entire West Coast, giving the legalization movement powerful momentum. That could spark similar efforts in other states and put pressure on federal authorities to ease longstanding rules that classify marijuana as a dangerously addictive drug with no medical benefits.
In general, the proposals for recreational pot would treat cannabis similar to alcohol. Consumption would be limited to people 21 or olde..
