Did Game Of Thrones Stars Help This Weed Trend

The stars of Game Thrones had people really chill with this trend.

While HBO’s Game of Thrones is currently over, the spin offs continue. The next Game of Thrones (GoT) spin-off isn’t until  2025. George RR Martin has confirmed A Knight of Seven Kingdoms will continue the story.  Aside from the merch and memes, it has also spun on “experiences”. But one of the most chill things is did Game of Thrones stars help this weed trend to chill out? Playing characters on GoT could be tense, but it helped bond the cast.  Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams become good friends and to relax from long days of filming Sansa and Arya Stark, they would get stoned and take a bath.

Now they are two ways to take a weed bath. One, like Sophie and Maisie, you can consume some gummies, use a vape or go old school and smoke or you can take one and use a bath bomb. The goal is to relax and chill, so fold in some music and just let the warm water wash over you. Social media extolls the benefits of a relaxing bath, especially if marijuana is blended in.

A THC bath bomb is the same thing as a normal bath bomb, but with THC. They contain essential oils, extracts, and of course, cannabinoids, which dissolve when they are dropped into your bathwater. They use the same science as a cannabis topical. Your endocannabinoid system consists of an intricate network of receptors that are activated both by our body’s own endocannabinoids and by the marijuana plant’s phytocannabinoids.

When you submerge your body into water enhanced by a THC bath bomb, you’re coating the receptors in your skin with the cannabinoids inside the bath bomb. While you mentally might get high, it can create a full body effect similar to if you rubbed THC oil all over yourself. This “body high,” as it is sometimes called, can be different for everyone, but most people find it to be relaxing.

Sophie Turner shared  “We’re kind of like loners on Game of Thrones, just because the past few seasons Maisie and I have sleepovers every night when we’re shooting. Or every night whenever both of us are in town. We just used to sit there and eat and watch stupid videos and smoke weed. I don’t know if my publicist will kill me for saying this. We’d get high and then we’d sit in the bath together and we’d rub makeup brushes on our faces. It’s fun.”

Set the mood, drop in the bath bomb and slip into a little piece of heaven. Let the music, weed and warm water water wash over you.

Which Legal Industry Is Bigger Marijuana Or Sports Betting

They are considered vice industries – but the mainstream public love them. But which is bigger? 

Vice industries have always made lots of money. Alcohol, porn, gambling, marijuana and tobacco. Alcohol is a fully legal and is an over $300 billion industry in the US and Canada. Pornhub, the top site in the category, always ranks high in search – usually in the top 10.  But two are new to the mainstream market, so which legal industry is better marijuana or sports betting?

Sin City is has a big hand in both industries. Gambling, which is different than sports betting, is the backbone of the Las Vegas….but sports betting and marijuana have made big marks. The Westgate is home of Superbook, the the largest sportsbook in the world. With their famed video wall, you can watch, bet and enjoy a fully stocked bar, cocktail service, and plenty of food options.  It is also home to marijuana Planet 13. It is the world’s largest cannabis dispensary, a 115,000-square-foot entertainment complex with dining, a bar, shops, light-sabre-battling robots and an immersive glass-fronted production facility. Soon Cannabition, an interactive, immersive environment will be open as part of the complex.

Sports betting emerged after the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court verdict finding the federal government’s Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) to be unconstitutional. Until then, the law mandated states could not “sponsor, operate, advertise, promote, license, or authorize by law or compact” sports betting. Now the market for such activity is starting to open up. 

When Indiana first opened sports betting, the site saw state saw nearly $440 million in wagers, according to the Indiana Gaming Commission. And all of this cash was generated, too, without making much change to the current infrastructure. The state and business owners are making money.

In 1996, California became the first state legalize medical marijuana legislation with the Compassionate Use Act. Colorado became the first state to legalize recreational marijuana in 2014. In 2018, Canada went legal. Now over 50% of the US population has access to legal marijuana and states with fully legal weed release more revenue from cannabis than alcohol. It has become so popular, it is cutting into the beer industry.

So who is better in the growing industries?  Marijuana was a $30 billion industry in 2023. While the same year, Americans wagered a record $119.84 billion on sports betting which translated into $10.92 billion in revenue. So the cannabis industry is currently bigger.  Want to bet if it stays the same or changes?

Science Give Marijuana Users Some Good Heart News

Science continues to prove cannabis has medical benefits…and more people are acknowledging the value of the plant

As the debate about marijuana being rescheduled continues, science continues to prove cannabis has medical benefits. While more research needs to be done in a variety of areas, medical organizations are coming around to the data regarding the plant’s help in medical conditions. And now science give marijuana users some good heart news.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death of women, men, and people of most racial and ethnic groups. Known as the silent killer, it can strike without advance notice, killing over 600,000 in the US and Canada alone. But science has come a long way in matter of open heart surgery and other key elements around heart health.

Despite the negative perception about cannabis, it is alcohol which aggravates cardio problems. Heavy drinking is linked to heart conditions. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to high blood pressure, heart failure or stroke. It can also contribute to cardiomyopathy, a disorder that affects the heart muscle.

While heavy marijuana use can cause complications with the cardiovascular system, it seems light to moderate use can have a least one benefits.  A study conducted by the American Heart Association shows cannabis users had a lower risk of A-fib. Researchers compared the health, length of hospital stay and mortality rates of cannabis users and non-users.

They observed significantly reduced odds of atrial fibrillation (Afib) among cannabis users.  Not only that, patients who were cannabis users were also less likely to die in the hospital. Also surprising to researchers was the fact that cannabis users also had shorter hospital stays than non-cannabis users. 

AFib is an irregular and often very rapid heart rhythm. An irregular heart rhythm is called an arrhythmia. AFib can lead to blood clots in the heart. The condition also increases the risk of stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications.The intensive study revealed contrary to some pronouns evidence, the large prospective cohort study failed to reveal any evidence that cannabis use was associated with an increased risk of A-fib.

Despite the good news, more research needs to be done and the federal government needs to recognize the benefits of the plant. Only then will it become part of the mainstream treats of heart disease, cancer and more.

Strain and add cannabis tincture and sugar, stir until dissolved Divide the mixture into two glasses with ice Top with water or seltzer and lightly stir Garnish with a lemon peel, lemon wheel and beet leaf for some extra pizzaz.

*To make Glycerin Cannabis tincture:

In an oven-safe container double sealed with foil, decarboxylate 3.5 grams finely ground cannabis at 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Put cannabis in a mason jar or vacuum sealed bag, pour over 2 oz vegetable Glycerin and seal tightly. Place in a water bath at just under boiling for 1 hour. Strain and keep contents in a sterilized container. Stores indefinitely in freezer.

Infusions are so easy to make and have way less cleanup than true extraction juicing, but you can always juice the above ingredients and follow the same steps for adding the weed. Always add your tinctures after straining fruits or pulp, you don’t want any potency to be held in waste.

This juice is also great drank straight as a shot, and it can be used as a cocktail mixer too! You can even to get weird and make quick pickled things like onions for taco night or carrots for a fun appetizer, the lemon juice will tenderize most veggies after a few hours.

The Simpsons Predicted Legal Weed So What’s Next

YES, The Simpsons predicted Covid, Barbie mania and this country being the first to legalizing marijuana – what’s next?

If you want any accurate representation of what’s to come, skip the fortune teller. One show has a spooky way of predicting things which come true. Maybe it is because the writers have a pulse on what’s going on, maybe they have just been around a long time…but it is true. And yes, “the Simpsons” predicted legal weed, so what’s next?

By now it’s a long-standing meme the show has predicted multiple historical events of our time. What was once flippant jokes from the show’s writers have come to pass, including a Donald Trump Presidency, Farmville, the Higgs-Boson particle, Guitar Hero, a submersible disaster, and the Disney-Fox merger.

RELATED: Yacht Rock Pairs Perfectly With Cocktails

In the cannabis world, the show foresaw Canada legalizing recreational marijuana. Back in the 2005 episode “Midnight Rx,” Homer, Ned Flanders, Apu, and Grandpa Simpson travel north of the border to acquire cheaper drug prescriptions. At one point, the Ned runs into his Canadian doppleganger, similar in every way except one: Canadian Ned hits the “reeferino.”

“It’s legal here,” the Canadian says, while offering Ned a hit. Flabbergasted by such a suggestion, Ned says to Homer, “They warned me Satan would be attractive. Let’s go!”

RELATED: Mike Johnson And Marijuana

As the US waits for a potentially rescheduling of marijuana, the industry is hanging out at Moe’s Tavern to see if their are any hints. Unlike the Canada episode, there’s isn’t any clear predictions, but an episode from 2000 predicted details of what could soon be real-life events. In “Bart to the Future”, Lisa Simpson becomes president and wears a purple suit and pearls that are uncannily similar to what Kamala Harris. Harris has been the champion of rescheduling, while House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-KY) is not.

With accurate guesses on both Covid and the Ebola outbreak, they also predicted a dark winter of 2025. The episode from Season 33 in January 2023 apparently foreshadowed something called a dark winter. Let’s hope this one is off the mark.

Marijuana Pop Tarts For The Perfect Weekend Wake And Bake

Treat yourself to a nostalgic breakfast favorite with a little something extra! 

Breakfast has changed significantly in the past 30 years. The classics cereals have somewhat fallen out of flavor and smoothies, protein bombs, and Starbuck sugary drinks have taken over. Whether on the go or a lazy morning lounging in bed, the stomach needs something.  For a special mornings, try these marijuana Pop Tarts for the perfect weekend wake and bake.

While there are recipes for cannabis smoothies and others…why not really treat yourself with a childhood favorite?

These treats have a smear of cannabutter included inside of each and every pastry, topped with a favorite filling.

This recipe is dosed with 1 teaspoon of cannabutter per serving. The strength of the pop tart multiple things, including the type of marijuana used and how cannabutter is made. For more tips on proper dosage, here are 5 ways to figure out your cannabutter’s potency.

Cannabis Pop Tarts

Makes 4 (recipe can be doubled)

For the pastries:

  • 1 portion unbaked pie dough (the same amount you’d use for a single-crust pie)
  • 4 tsp cannabutter (I like to use either a standard cannabutter or a vegan coconut oil cannabutter)
  • 4 heaping tsp filling of your choice (chocolate chips, thick caramel or chocolate topping, jam, etc.)

Egg wash: 1 egg, lightly beaten with 1 teaspoon water

To top:

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 Tbsp milk or cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • Sprinkles, for garnish (I used a mix of green tinted edible glitter and rainbow nonpareil sprinkles)

1. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

2. Roll out the dough into a rectangle, approximately 8 inches by 12 inches. Cut the dough into 4×3-inch portions (basically, divide the dough into 8 equal-sized rectangles).

3. Place four of the rectangles on your baking sheet. Smear the center of each one with a teaspoon of cannabutter.

4. Directly on top of the cannabutter, spoon your desired filling, leaving blank space along the perimeter of each pastry. Avoid fillings that are too thin, or they may leak out of your pastries. I used fairly thick caramel sauce, which was probably about the thinnest consistency that would work for these pastries.

5. Brush the “naked” portions of the pastry with your egg wash.

6. Place the second batch of pastry rectangles on top of each topped pastry portion. Press down on the edges to ensure that the egg wash helps form a seal. Gently press the tines of a fork into the edges of each pastry to further ensure a seal. Poke the top of each one once or twice with the tines of a fork to let steam out. If desired, you can use the remaining egg wash to brush the tops of the pastries.

8. Make the icing. In a large bowl, use a fork or whisk to whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk or cream, vanilla, and salt. Mix until no lumps remain and it’s a thick but still pourable icing. Spoon some on top of each pastry; directly after icing, apply sprinkles (they will stick best while it’s still wet and slightly sticky). Let the icing set, and enjoy!
