Smoking weed produces effects that generally last for short periods of time. If you’re looking for simple ways of prolonging your marijuana high for whatever reason (because you’re running out of weed or because you don’t want to waste any more money) you can try these four simple solutions.
Even though these methods are not scientifically proven – because research in this area is extremely lax – there’s enough anecdotal data gathered from all over the web that makes us believe that this list is worth your time.
The pairing of marijuana and mangoes works really well, especially when consuming the fruit some time before you smoke a joint or bowl. Mangoes work best when consumed raw and juicy, but the effect it has on you depends on your body and the type of marijuana you’re consuming. Mangoes contain myrcene, a chemical that’s also in marijuana, interacting with each other and producing a stronger and lengthier high.
Tea
According to MarijuanaBreak.com, tea contains antioxidants that make a smooth combination when paired with cannabis, binding with our cannabinoid receptors. This combination will improve your mood and it’ll also produce a relaxing, mellow, and long lasting high.
Nuts
Nuts are a great option for the munchies, satisfying your craving and providing a healthy amount of calories that won’t make you feel super guilty. They also contain large amounts of Omega 3 fatty acids, which bind with the cannabinoids in marijuana.
While not only prolonging the high, drinking a beer will also make it extra strong due to the alcohol (that increases the THC’s power) and the terpenes that are available in hops, the raw form of beer. There’s a reason why these two are such a pleasant and common pairing.
To The Stars Academy Of Arts And Sciences is a public benefit corporation founded by Tom DeLonge, you know, that guy from Blink 182 and Angels and Airwaves. Tom has had a life long passion for the galaxy, the stars, and the world’s mysteries, which made him develop this program that wants to advance and develop the necessary technology to solve the world’s “unexplained phenomenons” and mysteries.
The company has three main areas of focus that are aerospace, entertainment, and science, and it counts with the support of important people within different fields, such as Luis Elizondo, a man who’s had experience in the DOD and who’s worked for over 25 years at the CIA, and Steve Justice, who worked for the defense of aerospace for over 30 years.
While To The Stars has some standard goals such as developing entertaining and well researched science fiction content, it’s members also believe that they can provide information that the U.S. government hasn’t shared with the world, and that this could potentially change the way we live our lives.
The Huffington Post reports that during a conference, Luis Elizondo confirmed the existence of UFOs. He’d made this discovery while working for the DOD, and his current plans include sharing this information with the public.
We are also planning to provide never before released footage from real US Government systems…not blurry, amateur photos, but real data and real videos. We are inviting our Government colleagues and friends in Defense to participate regularly with their own findings.”
Elizondo claims that the discovered unidentified objects did not exhibit overt hostility, but that the U.S. government didn’t understand how they worked. To The Stars plans on gathering the necessary knowledge and information to solve these mysteries and to share it with the world.
Portland, Oregon based Coalition Brewing has the distinction of being one of the only breweries in the United States that currently brews a CBD beer. According to Phil Boyle, Beer Ambassador for Coalition Brewing, they became interested in doing a CBD beer back in August 2016 after they heard about a CBD beer made by Dads and Dudes Breweria in Colorado.
Researching CBD Beer
With their interest peaked in the possibility of brewing a CBD beer they began conducting research which they have made available on their website. They didn’t want to produce a gimmicky beer where they simply added CBD oil into an already brewed beer. Rather, they explored how to create a synergy using these two plants’ profiles. So, they learned about the similarities between cannabis and hops and how both plants produce similar organic aromatic compounds known as terpenes. These terpenes include myrcene (a relaxant found in both hemp and hops), limonene (the primary component in lemon oil, also prevalent in hemp and hops), and pinene (an energizing term found in basil, hemp, hops, and pine).
Then Boyle and head brewer Elan Walsky were invited to the Canna Society Soirée in September 2016 where they met Bill Stewart, with Half Baked Labs, a chemical engineer and cannabis chef. Stewart recalls that encounter. “We ended up sitting together and talking all evening about the project. The following Monday, I got together with them with samples of various hemp infusions so that they could learn about the flavors, aromas, and routes of infusion for hemp.”
Two Flowers CBD Beer
Walksy designed the first brew around the flavor and aroma of fresh pressed hemp juice to make their first CBD beer. Two Flowers, a West Coast style IPA (ABV: 6% and IBU: 55) possesses grassy citrus notes and a crisp hop forward taste thanks to its combination of Cascade and Sentinel hops, hemp juice, and a proprietarily CBD oil (product) blend made so that it’s OLCC compliant.
They followed up this year round beer with seasonal CBD beers such as a Lemon and Basil CBD Sour. These added flavors to the beer are also closely related to hops and cannabis on the terpene spectrum, Boyle added they plan to release a Double Chocolate Stout in November. As Coalition Brewing is only a 10-barrel brewery, they choose to focus on producing select quality seasonals designed for those who appreciate the quest to find a singular craft beer.
Presently, their CBD beers are only available on tap from their tasting room, as well as select other locations listed on their website. Boyle adds they will not be bottling any CBD beer until they receive approval from the Federal government.
In addition to brewing CBD beer, they plan to offer social events. For example, recently, they hosted a CBD dinner that consisted of four courses of food infused with CBD and Hops and paired with their CBD beers. At these social events Boyle hopes to introduce the normal beer drinker who doesn’t use cannabis into the health and wellness benefits of trying a CBD beer. Conversely, he would like for cannabis users who don’t drink beer to experience the sensation of adding beer to their CBD consumption.
Boyle stresses that as these beers are made without THC, they do not produce any psychoactive effects. Also, many peered reviewed studies on our website state those who consume CBD beers will still pass a drug test.
Celebrating Oregon Craft
Just as Boyle has formed relationships with craft hops farmers and craft distillers like Indio Spirits, he’s begun to cultivate similar relationships with craft cannabis farmers such as Yerba Buena and Cascade High Organics. These partnerships highlight the unique synergy that can be found within Oregon’s growing legalized recreational market.
Take for example Oregon’s Fresh Hops season, the annual harvesting of Hops which occurs in early Fall. This harvest that happens to coincide at the same time that outdoor cannabis is harvested points to the unique attributes of this region as a place that can celebrate both cannabis and beer. Coalition partnered with Crosby Hops Farms and Boring Hemp Company to produce a beer first of its kind. This is one of the only regions geographically where brewers can get both fresh hops and cannabis that have been harvested less than three hours ago. This combination of freshness produces a singular product that cannot be found anywhere else.
Though CBD beer remains in its infancy, Boyle has hopes for the future. “I predict the CBD beer trend will continue as we get more into the market and people become more educated about CBD. We cannot tout overall benefits even though we strongly agree with them unless we are referencing a specific study.”
Roger’s Gardens is a garden store located in the Newport Beach area in California, that annually transforms one of it’s buildings into a Halloween themed display. This year, the exhibit was called ‘Magic & Mayhem’ and it depicted the world of Harry Potter, including Platform 9 & ¾, the Diagon Alley and many other amazing places that are giving us tons of FOMO.
Here are the coolest pictures of the Halloween Harry Potter Boutique at Roger’s Gardens:
No Harry Potter themed place could exist without Platform 9 & 3/4, and Roger’s Gardens found the perfect way to use this, cleverly making it the entrance of the building.
Knockturn Alley
This alley always gets the short end of the stick when it comes to being depicted in Harry Potter themed things, eclipsed by the Diagon Alley. People rarely remember how cool and creepy it can be.
Prince Harry’s aides have been told to start planning for a royal wedding, The Mail revealed. Senior members of the Royal Family are understood to have been asked to look at their diaries to shortlist a series of suitable weekends next year – the clearest sign yet that an engagement announcement is imminent. The news comes days after Harry and his girlfriend Meghan Markle held a private meeting with the Queen, seen by insiders as a sign that Her Majesty has given the union her blessing.
It is unlikely there would be any official announcement until after the celebrations for the Queen’s 70th wedding anniversary on November 20. It may be significant, too, that the Palace chose to release news of the Duchess of Cambridge’s April due date comparatively early. A wedding is believed to be out of the question until Prince William and Kate’s third child is born.
One important consideration both for courtiers and the Church of England is Meghan’s status as a divorcee. Under Church rules, she would be unable to have a religious wedding and, although it could take place in church, a ceremony would be a blessing instead, with a civil marriage taking place separately. This could lead to the choice of a comparatively low-profile venue, such as the Royal Military Chapel at Wellington Barracks at St James’s Park.
Meghan is currently in Toronto filming scenes for her legal drama Suits, and work will not finish on the series until the middle of November. Sources in her circle believe she will then move into Kensington Palace, where Harry occupies the two-bedroom Nottingham Cottage. Meghan is believed to have told studio bosses that she will not return for another series of Suits next year, reportedly telling friends she was ‘happy to make this career sacrifice’ in order to concentrate on her charity work and her new life as a senior Royal.
Meghan, who made her first official public appearance alongside Harry at the Invictus Games in Toronto, is also planning to travel to India for the charity World Vision, of which she is a patron. Palace aides have already been advising Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, a 60-year-old yoga instructor and therapist who lives in Los Angeles – a sign of how seriously the relationship is being taken in Royal circles.

Teresa Giudice In Hot Water
Teresa Giudice has gone through a lot in the past few years, and it all seems to be catching up with her. Teresa spent a year in prison thanks to her husband Joe Giudice who got caught in an illegal money-making scheme. Now that she’s back home, he’s locked up for a few years which has left her feeling lonely and overwhelmed with responsibility. Her mother passed away, and her father moved into her full house.
All of these people to take care of and loose ends to tie up may be draining her wallet. Can she cut back her bad spending habits, or will she be filing for bankruptcy again in the coming months?

What started with a covert operation of delivering marijuana to sick patients has grown into a revolutionary medical marijuana start-up in Jerusalem. Perry Davidson is the guy behind Syqe Medical, Israel’s leading medical marijuana firm. And he’s already raised $33 million for cannabis technology that allows patients to received metered doses of marijuana.
“I was a 26-year old schmuck, and I was dealing with hundreds of cancer patients. How did we get to a situation where if I didn’t wake up in the morning, these cancer patients would or wouldn’t get their medication?” he tells The Jerusalem Post.
The Syqe Inhaler is created using a 3D-printer and, according to the Syqe website:
…utilizes selective 100 microgram dosing precision, realtime thermal & flow controllers, lung interfacing and wireless connectivity. This new level of precision will allow patients to reach the coveted optimum balance between symptom relief and psychoactivity, regaining their quality of life.
It’s so effective, pharmaceutical giants are now partnering with Syqe to distribute the device, which has patients knocking down Davidson’s door. “There are people calling us once or twice a week, asking, ‘Is it in the market, is it in the market?’” he says.
According to the Post, the device is the only metered dose marijuana (and medicinal plants in general) inhaler in the world, approved by the Health Ministry more than two years ago.

It takes up to five minutes for the cannabis concentrate to take effect after inhaling. Loaded with “uniquely identified preloaded cartridges and a linked clinical database serving physicians, researchers and healthcare entities,” the inhaler will be available for distribution outside of hospitals sometime in 2018, according to the website.
“We are able to deliver a plant with the same rigor, safety and precision as a [traditional] pharmaceutical,” says Davidson.
As the Post notes, Israel is the home of Professor Raphael Mechoulam, who in the 1960s, became the first person to identity marijuana’s main psychoactive compound, THC.
Currently, patients in Israel are allowed to get medical marijuana prescriptions, but it’s not easy; they can only get a prescription if no other treatment worked within the past year.
Last week in marijuana legislative news, Dallas improved its marijuana possession law, the city of Henderson, Nevada approved five retail stores and Maine signaled a delay in recreational sales. Find out about that more in our weekly marijuana legislative roundup.
Maine:
On Thursday, Governor Paul LePage proposed legislation to delay the start of recreational sales to 2019 in order to give the legislature more time to amend the state’s voter-approved recreational marijuana law. The legislature is planning to convene this week to consider a bill that would increase the sales tax on marijuana from 10 percent to 20 percent, require municipalities to “opt in” to the state’s legal cannabis market, and make a number of changes to the way cannabis is regulated at the state level. The bill came after months of work by a special committee tasked with implementing the legalization measure approved by voters in 2016. LePage’s bill is seen as an effort to scrap the proposed regulatory package. Recreational sales have already been delayed until February 2018 at the earliest.
On Tuesday, Dallas County commissioners approved a bill to create a “cite and release” program for minor marijuana offenses. The program will allow officers to issue misdemeanor court summons to those found in possession of four ounces or less of marijuana, rather than taking them to jail. The program will take effect on December 1.
On Tuesday, the city of Henderson approved licenses for its first five recreational marijuana dispensaries. Nearly four months after recreational sales began throughout most of the state, city officials approved applications from five medical marijuana dispensaries to begin selling marijuana from recreational use. The large city outside Las Vegas had placed a moratorium on legal cannabis sales in February that lasted through September. The businesses still require state licensing and inspection before they can start selling recreational marijuana.
There’s a dirty little secret among some luxury condo owners in New York City. The towering views they were promised include public park sex nearby.
Over on 5th Avenue in Harlem, home owners overlooking Marcus Garvey Park tell the NYC neighborhood blog DNAinfo.com that they basically live in the equivalent of box seats at a porn theater.
“I saw a lot of b—jobs, guys having sex, guys masturbating, I really saw the whole gamut,” says Marie Gelot, who lived in her spendy condo for five years before moving out in August.
https://giphy.com/gifs/dude-ranch-13O8lsCUU4jTuU
According to the blog, the high rise is such a great viewpoint that the NYPD uses it as headquarters for sting operations. Who wouldn’t want their home to be on an episode of “Law & Order: SVU”?
This down-low public sex lookout has been a thing for nearly a decade, when construction workers noticed the orgy like atmosphere of the nearby park before the building opened in 2009.
Doorman David Lamboy says he was skeptical…until he was totally shook by an image that is forever burned into his brain.
I’m a lifelong New Yorker. I’ve seen many things, but what I saw that day shocked me. Not to be too graphic, but it was one gal and three guys.
Lamboy says residents will often call police when they see such…free love going on in the park, but once officers leave, the sex continues.
The most popular spot is an area just off a popular footpath that’s littered with condom wrappers. The blog sent one their reporters to do a little recon and the findings were not exactly family friendly.
When a DNAinfo New York reporter visited the area Thursday afternoon, one man was seen performing oral sex on another man. Below them, at grade level in the park, older people played chess on park benches, while dogs frolicked and a group of kids played a flag football game on the field.

This dichotomy could be a major turnoff for potential homeowners, who would otherwise be blown away by the beautiful park and the luxury condo’s amenities (dog run, basketball courts, pool). But if you ask longtime residents, they’ll tell you they see public sex year-round. Says building superintendent Nelson Flecha, “In the winter, you notice it more because all the leaves are gone.”
The good news here is that an organization has been created, Marcus Garvey Park Alliance, to specifically help restore the park to a more innocent time, pre-perv. Members organize events in the park’s “problem areas” in order to increase foot traffic and create awareness. Here’s hoping that plan works and isn’t just another attraction for exhibitionists.
For most cannabis consumers, figuring out how to operate a bong is a rite of passage. It takes a little more technique than simply toking on a joint or passing around a pipe. The bong, or water pipe, requires a little practice and can be intimidating for the newbie.
Enter BRBT Designs, a Canadian cannabis accessory brand founded by University of Alberta students in Edmonton. Simon Grigenas, co-founder and CEO, and his team decided to break the traditional bong design and revolutionize the experience.
“BRNT provides a more sophisticated alternative to the various other smoking accessories that do not provide the benefits of precision engineering and airflow design,” said Grigenas. “With hundreds of varieties to choose from, consumers are not always aware of the availability of newer and better ways of administrating cannabis.”
For Grigenas, his company’s innovation is mostly about function, but he is equally excited about the form of his new product. “We plan to give our customers these functional benefits in a product that is so aesthetically pleasing that you can proudly show it off on your coffee table at home.”
So, what makes the design so unique? The device, dubbed the Hexagon, is made of a ceramic-glass blend. It is safe to put in the dishwasher and can be placed in the freezer for a smoother smoke. Other ceramic bongs are similar, but the Hexagon’s stylish design gives it an artistic aesthetic.
“My mom has been using it as a flower vase,” Andrew Feltham, one of the co-creators of the bong, told CBC News. “It’s got a modern, minimal feel.”
The company is funding its venture via the crowdfunding route and is scheduled to launch the campaign this week. The retail price for the high-end bong will be $188 in Canadian dollars (about $235 US).
According to the company’s official website, the Hexagon is “professionally engineered while leveraging air flow dynamics. It hits perfectly every time, no exceptions. It’s a superior thermal insulator, leaving the bong cool to the touch.”
In a new interview with The Sunday Times, Smith replied “No” when asked if he feels like a cisgender man. “I don’t know what the title would be, but I feel just as much woman as I am man,” he elaborated.
The 25-year-old singer-songwriter also discusses his love of dressing in drag, revealing that he hits up the Australian drag shop House of Priscilla whenever he’s in Sydney. “Oh, my god, I just buy everything—heels, dresses,” he says. “We have a great time.”
Which Jailed Married Man Now Has Gay Lover?
This male celebrity seemed to be happily married with children before he entered jail. But now that he is behind bars, he has hooked up with a sweet younger gay lover.
His wife does not visit the prison very often because she knows what is going on. At first she thought it was just gay prison sex but now it has turned emotional. The two men have developed very real feelings for each other.
