Here Are The Best Twitter Reactions To Rompers For Men

In a very significant way, fashion and clothing have dismissed gender roles in what we are and aren’t supposed to wear. Men wear dresses and women wear overalls and no one really cares as long as you look fresh. Because that’s what it’s all about. However, some dudes felt left out of one clothing trend in the romper. So they aimed to fix that how we solve all our problems in the internet age—asking other people for money via Kickstarter.

Here was the inspiration from the official Kickstarter page:

We were sitting around over drinks one evening and got to talking about the men’s clothing options out there. Everything either too corporate…too fratty…too “runway”…or too basic. Something was missing. Why wasn’t there anything out there that allowed guy to be more stylish and fun without also sacrificing comfort, fit, and versatility?

And that’s how they knew the world needed the romper—no, the RompHim!

Just look at how people are imagining all their potential RompHim adventures this summer. Rompers and RompHims will leads to some serious shenanigans, I tell you what.

Exactly How Much Of A Boost Is Marijuana Giving Steinbeck Country

For decades, the Salinas Valley, just south of the San Francisco Bay Area, was a known for its flower business. But there is a new cash crop in the lush valley that is bringing in new revenues and driving up farm prices: Cannabis.

“The Salinas Valley is the Silicon Valley of agriculture,” Mike Hackett of Monterey Cannabis Co., told the Bay Area News Group. “We have the finest grow techniques and plant scientists and fertilizing techniques of any place in the world,” said Hackett, who is now planting cannabis where he once grew chrysanthemums.

The report predicts that the cannabis industry could bring in up to $80 million a year in new tax revenues to Monterey County’s $1.3 billion annual budget. Not too shabby for a region that was struggling not too long ago.

According to the report:

Back in the 1950s through the 1980s when the flower business was blooming, there were about 130 working greenhouses here, supplying fresh flowers across the U.S.

But the farms fell victim to globalization and, ironically, the nation’s drug wars, pushing the local unemployment rate above 15 percent in the 1990s. To reduce the flow of cocaine into this country by encouraging farmers in Colombia to grow food instead of coca, the United States in the early 1990s allowed imported flowers to enter duty-free. Now, 80 percent of all cut flowers sold in the U.S. are imported from South America.

The new green rush is now giving the region — popularized by John Steinbeck’s classic “The Grapes of Wrath” — an economic boost.

The cannabis industry is giving the region much-needed employment. Cannabis businesses are able to pay higher hourly wages than other farmers — and the work is more regular than the seasonal picking customary in the area.

And it’s not just the farm workers getting a financial boost. Construction companies are busy retrofitting greenhouse operations. And real estate agents are busier than ever.

Rents have surged from 5-10 cents to $1 per square foot, Chuck Allen, an agricultural land broker told the Bay Area News Group. According to Allen, he has seen more than 20 major properties have worth roughly $100 million change hands.

“I think this is the best opportunity to come into the Salinas Valley since the days of the boxcars that cooled vegetables with ice,” said Aaron Johnson, a local attorney and Salinas native.

Model Makes Shocking Promise For More Facebook Likes

With the rise of social media stars, more people are doing strange and interesting things to attract followers, likes and shares.

If you are an aspiring model, actor or journalist, a little creativity can place your personal brand in front of millions of people. Think about it: Honey Badger become an instant sensation with wicked commentary from the mouth of a badger. Wacky, effective and unforgettable.

In Brooklyn, aspiring model/actor Terence Hall says he will taser himself if he can get 20,000 Facebook likes for his video:

Terence wants to produce his own films and is currently dabbling in YouTube. Last week, he and a friend were hanging out when his friend pulled out a taser. That’s when Terence decided to promise an electrifying experience in return for more traffic to his channel.

So what can Terence expect? Twin barbed darts shoot out at high speed, delivering an electric jolt through thin copper-insulated wires leashing them to the stun gun. Ideally, both probes land below your chest, far enough apart to deliver a charge affecting a significant portion of your musculature.

Tasers are designed for neuromuscular incapacitation: to deliver an electric charge to your body that interferes with your peripheral nervous system, creating uncontrollable muscular convulsions and rendering you temporarily unable to control your own movements.

Want to see Terence tase himself? Like Terence on FB and share with your friends. The Fresh Toast will be there reporting live when Terence fulfills his part of the deal.

Good luck Terence.

Former MMA Fighter Anthony Johnson Is Flirting With Cannabis Industry

Former MMA Fighter Anthony Johnson Is Flirting With Cannabis Industry

Another week, another MMA fighter showing serious interest in marijuana. Following Nate Diaz’s comments regarding “banking out” with the cannabis industry, Anthony Johnson revealed his post-career plans and it too involves the industry.

Speaking on former pro wrestler Booker T’s podcast “Heated Conversations,” the former UFC light heavyweight opened up about his plans and why he wanted to leave fighting behind.

“My friend Paul, he’s in Canada, and we’re opening up a facility—you know what I mean—and it’s for medical usage,” Johnson said.

MMA Junkie indicated that Johnson left very little doubt he would eventually open a shop, though he didn’t explicitly state that fact. The goal, it seems, will involve establishing business in Johnson’s home state of Florida, which passed medical marijuana legalization with 71 percent approval.

However, the state is undergoing serious stalling in the legislature and the outcome is starting to appear murky. One policy director for United For Care even went as far to say it is a “a fatally flawed piece of legislation.”

“We’re just waiting on that law to pass, and whenever it passes, we’re golden,” Johnson said on the podcast. “We’re playing our cards right. We are playing by the books, so that way there is no issue.”

Johnson won’t be the first MMA fighter to enter the medical cannabis industry. As MMA Junkie wrote, Ian McCall dabbled in the industry, before a falling out with his business partners. He had one strong piece of advice for Johnson.

“Get a really, really good lawyer, and pay the yearly retainer fee,” McCall told MMA Junkie. “Pony up, because the rules change all the time. When the rules change like that, you can go to (expletive) prison.”

The Unicorn Frappuccino Has Nothing On This Barista’s Coffee Art

Working as a barista is a serious art. Achieving foamy deliciousness is difficult enough, but to produce visually stunning images is an entirely different story. This is why Starbucks baristas complained about the Unicorn Frappuccino—not only was it super popular, it was super hard to make.

But Korean artist Kangbin Lee puts virtually every barista artist to shame with his stunning artwork. These drinks carry a craftsmanship that you hear chefs discuss when they say we eat with our eyes. The visual treatment urges gastronomical enjoyment. If Lee’s drinks taste anywhere near as good as they look, every other barista should give up now.

What will potentially blow your mind is that Lee started crafting lattes for fun. He told Uproxx he works as both teacher and barista in South Korea. The drinks started as a side project for Lee and has gained some earned notoriety since.

According to Uproxx, Lee calls his drinks “cremart” and loves seeing his customers’ smiling faces in reaction to his work. You might not think so by the look of them, but Lee’s drinks are fully edible. He draws the pictures in the foam using chocolate sauce, espresso, and food coloring.

Check out some of our favorite creations by Lee, who says they taste as delicious as they look. We can only imagine.

Bring An Open Mind To This California Marijuana Yoga Retreat

If yoga with goats and cats and bunnies isn’t your thing, perhaps this is: A marijuana-enhanced yoga retreat in Ojai, California. The Cannabliss experience is five days in June of food, yoga, and yes, legal weed, all meant to help you expand your mind and connect to your body. What could be better than a marijuana yoga retreat?

According to the Cannabliss website, tickets to the retreat—which range from $1,010 to $1,212 per person—include:

  • Gourmet cannabis infused meals by GrassFed
  • Cannabis influenced yoga and meditational experiences
  • Psychedelic black light yoga & dance party sponsored by KATY
  • Cacao and plant medicine evening ceremonies
  • Acupuncture, massage energy healing sessions
  • Mind and heart expanding “Plant your Seed” workshops
  • Sativa infused fitness experiences to elevate endorphins
  • Creative, inspired time to design your vision
  • In depth education on the use of cannabis and plant medicines
  • Gift bags with the best products on the market

Cannabliss Retreats founder Sari Gabbay told LA Weekly, “People have obviously been smoking and using cannabis for years. It’s not a new thing, but this is a new frontier. People aren’t aware of this kind of engagement with the plant.”

“We’re really trying to tune in with what the wellness community wants so we can curate strains,” Johnny Deim, founder of cultivation company Humboldt Brothers which will provide the greenery for the retreat, said. Lori Barron, acupuncturist and herbalist, added: “I’m going to be talking about cannabis and how it can be used very intentionally, not so much for getting stoned. If you microdose it, it’s incredible for your health: lowering your inflammation, stress and anxiety. It has so many more uses than people realize.”

Study: Grandma Wants To Smoke Your Marijuana Stash

Study: Grandma Wants To Smoke Your Marijuana Stash

Grandma wants to smoke your marijuana, and grandpa’s micro dosing: A new study shows that older Americans are choosing to use marijuana, and don’t see it as risky behavior.

“For years we’ve been worried about the potential effects of marijuana on the developing brains of teens, but now we may need a bit more focus on their grandparents, who are increasingly more likely to be current users,” Dr. Joseph J. Palamar of New York University, one of the lead authors of the study, told The Independent.

The Independent reports:

Researchers investigated cannabis use among over-50s by evaluating responses from 47,140 US adults who took part in the National Survey on Drug Use and Health. The study published in Addiction revealed a 71 per cent increase in marijuana use among adults between 2006 and 2013, particularly among those aged between 50 and 64. Men were also shown to be more likely to use the drug than women.

“Given the unprecedented aging of the US population, we are facing a never before seen cohort of older adults who use recreational drugs,” commented Dr. Benjamin Han, a geriatrician and health services researcher at NYU.

These findings are surprising, since older generations are generally stereotyped as risk-averse. Very few Baby Boomers consider marijuana use risky, the study found, perhaps because they grew up in a time when marijuana was celebrated in counterculture.

Gossip: Michelle Pfeiffer Killed New ‘Sex And The City’ Movie; Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Are Taking A Break From One Another

There was ‘one last chapter to tell’ in the Sex and the City saga, Sarah Jessica Parker said. And this dream of die-hard fans desperate for a third film to redeem the widely panned sequel almost came true in 2014. Then one of the leading actresses dropped out of the production. But it wasn’t Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis or Cynthia Nixon.

Court documents obtained by the DailyMail.com reveal the production fell apart when Michelle Pfeiffer, who never appeared in the six seasons of the HBO show or the two films, decided to opt out of the movie. Sex and the City executive producer Cindy Chupack filed suit over a Greenwich Village townhouse in 2014. The house on East Ninth Street is only a few blocks away from the facade of Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic apartment on Perry Street in West Village.

Chupack, who has also produced episodes of Modern Family and Divorce, explained in the court documents she put down a $15,000 deposit to rent a home owned by Rebecca Flores. The producer attempted to cancel the booking the next day after ‘one of the lead actresses for the movie, Michelle Pfeiffer’ opted out of the film. Documents state there was no replacement lined up for the Scarface actress.

Kim Kardashian & Kanye West Are Taking A Break From One Another

Next week will be Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s third wedding anniversary, and instead of posting luvey-wuvey couple shots all over social media like they would normally, the pair are set to spend the day 1,000 miles apart. In fact, heat magazine , out today, reports that the couple, who got married on 24 May 2014, could be preparing to split up.

“Right now, things are very tough for their marriage,” a source tells heat. Last week Kanye , 38, left LA for a remote mountain top in Wyoming, to get to work on his new album. He also deleted his beloved Twitter and Instagram accounts. Kim, meanwhile, is still in LA, posting on Instagram as usual – but she hasn’t posted a picture with Kanye in four weeks.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star even attended the Met Gala without him. An event they’ve been together at for the past four years. Heat’s source says the singer – who suffered a breakdown and was hospitalized in November – disappearing to the mountains is less about his music, and more about escaping their problems. They say: “We’re all concerned that this could be a sign their marriage is on the rocks and that they want time apart. Kanye is in a very odd place in his life right now, so he’s happy to take a break. Kim convinced him that this was the best solution for him, as it would allow him to take time out of the spotlight.

And Kim, 36, is apparently enjoying the space too.

“I think she’s enjoying the freedom to do what she wants, knowing Kanye’s out of the city and has a good crew around him.”

What You Need To Know About New Mexico’s Medical Marijuana Program

What You Need To Know About New Mexico’s Medical Marijuana Program

Medical marijuana is gaining strength across the nation, but nowhere is it hotter than in New Mexico.

“We are probably the single fastest growing industry in New Mexico,” Duke Rodriguez, president and CEO of Ultra Health LLC, the state’s No. 1 cannabis distributor, told the Albuquerque Journal. “This is the one industry that has been a juggernaut of growth.”

According to New Mexico’s largest newspaper:

Customers, sales revenue and dispensaries have exploded the past year with a total of more than 40,000 people now signed up to purchase medical marijuana.

Since Jan. 1, some 8,000 New Mexicans obtained a state-issued license that allows them to legally buy pot, pushing patient enrollment to 40,432 in April. With the recent growth spurt, enrollment has increased by 84 percent since March 2016.

New Mexico now has 56 medical marijuana dispensaries, with 2o of those coming aboard in this year alone. According to data from the state’s Department of Health, first-quarter sales in 2017 hit $19 million, an increase of 91 percent compared to last year.

Not everyone is celebrating the news, however. State Rep. Bill Rehm believes the state’s system is being abused by those who are not truly patients.

“I think there are a bunch of people who are obtaining marijuana cards, not for a true medical reason, but for justification for them to smoke marijuana legally,” Rehm told the Journal.

New Mexico requires patients to provide documentation from a physician that supports the use of marijuana. The state recognizes 20 qualifying conditions for use, including chronic pain, PTSD and hospice care.

Marijuana legalization is popular in New Mexico. A poll conducted last year revealed that 61 percent of likely voters in the state supported legalization of marijuana. But the legislature and Gov. Susana Martinez, a Republican, have fought measures to regulate the herb.
