Fun Ways To Celebrate Halloween With Marijuana

Halloween is a great time of year for tricks and treats…but if a little marijuana is your treat, maybe you should watch true horror movies.

Halloween is here and the next week will be filled with parties, ghosts, and more.  So why not  add in some cannabis to the festivities?  Almost half the population with celebrate in some way, even if it just enjoying all the candy!  While alcohol has been a big player for parties and celebrations, cannabis is become more popular, especially with Gen Z and younger Millennials.
Older generations can remember the old myth of people giving out edibles to kids, and yet it was never proven or had an example. Especially with the cost of edibles now!  But with the California Sober movement, more people are using vapes, gummies and old school joints. Here are fun ways to celebrate Halloween with marijuana.

The first is enjoy a little chill time with the following strains or an event with a few people to  do a ghostly “strain tasting” evening. Here are perfect strains to go with your spooktacular high.

  • Blueberry Ghost OG
  • Zombie Kush
  • Jack the Ripper
  • Killer Queen
  • Ghost Train Haze

Set up a tasting station with descriptions of each strain’s effects and flavors.

The Shining

One of the most popular ways to enjoy marijuana during Halloween is through edibles. You can bake cannabis-infused cookies or brownies to fit the Halloween theme. For instance, using cookie cutters, create spooky shapes like ghosts and pumpkins. To make these treats, you’ll need to prepare cannabutter by decarboxylating your cannabis concentrate, then mixing it into your cookie dough.

Music, marijuana, and Halloween create a unique trifecta of cultural celebration, especially during the spooky season. Crafting a playlist that embodies this vibe can enhance gatherings, whether for a Halloween party or a chill evening alone or with friends. Include tracks evoking the eerie atmosphere of Halloween. Classic songs like “Thriller” by Michael Jackson and “Ghostbusters” by Ray Parker Jr. set the tone.  Fold in some laid-back tunes that pair well with marijuana. Songs like “Because I Got High” by Afroman and “Hits from the Bong” by Cypress Hill resonate well with the cannabis culture and provide a relaxed listening experience. And mix in some upbeat tracks to keep the energy alive. Songs like “Monster Mash” by Bobby “Boris” Pickett and “Somebody’s Watching Me” by Rockwell blend fun with a hint of spookiness.

Another idea is a pumpkin carving contest by turning mini gourds into smoking devices.

  1. Carve out your pumpkin as usual
  2. Drill a hole for the downstem
  3. Insert downstem and attach bowl
  4. Carve a mouthpiece on top
  5. Load bowl and enjoy your festive pumpkin pipe
While integrating marijuana into Halloween festivities can be fun, safety should always be a priority. Ensure that all edibles are clearly labeled and stored out of reach of unsuspecting people and pets. Educate your guests about responsible consumption, particularly if they are unfamiliar with cannabis products. And make sure you don’t hit and drive.

Maybe You Shouldn’t Watch Horror Movies While High

Maybe You Shouldn’t Watch Horror Movies While High

Halloween is a great time of year for tricks and treats…but if a little marijuana is your treat, maybe you should watch true horror movies.

October is the month of Halloween and horror movies. Movie marathons and film festivals abound along with special screenings in movie theaters. But, it might not be the thing for growing mainstream who are embracing cannabis.  Maybe you shouldn’t watch horror movies while high. Horror is the fastest-rising film genre, having doubled market share from 4.87 percent in 2013 to 10.08 percent in 2023, While the Conjuring universe, Us, Talk to Me and more might grab the imagination, the effects of marijuana on the mind might give you pause.
The first horror movie is widely believed to be the 1896 short film Le Manoir du Diable, The House of the Devil. This 3-minute short film was created by French filmmaker Georges Méliès, who is also credited with inventing many filming techniques and tricks.
Watching horror movies while under the influence of cannabis can lead to a uniquely intense experience, but it often comes with significant drawbacks. Here are several reasons why you might want to reconsider this combination.
The Shining
Cannabis can amplify feelings of anxiety and paranoia, which are already prevalent in horror films. The suspenseful music, sudden scares, and disturbing imagery can become overwhelming when paired with the psychoactive effects of marijuana. Many viewers report a heightened state of awareness which can transform a thrilling scare into a panic-inducing moment, making the experience far from enjoyable.
When stoned, perception of reality can shift dramatically. Horror movies often blur the lines between fiction and reality. Under the influence, this distortion can feel even more pronounced. This heightened sense of immersion might lead to confusion or fear of what is happening on screen could somehow affect you in real life. For instance, films like The Thing and Hellraiser are particularly noted for their ability to evoke intense feelings of claustrophobia and dread, which can spiral into a bad trip when viewed while high.
Certain horror films are notorious for inducing “bad trips,” especially for those who may already be predisposed to anxiety or have had negative experiences with substances. Movies that delve into psychological horror or body horror—like Tusk or The Trip—can trigger distressing thoughts or feelings that linger long after the film ends. Experts advise avoiding these films if you’re not in a stable mental state.
There is a case for a few exceptions. Comedy or old school horror can be fun. The original Frankenstein or Young Frankenstein can be great. Some of the 1970s sexy campy horror can be enjoyable and interesting.   Also, Scary Movie, The Cabin in the Woods, Trolls, Little Shop of Horrors.

Quirky Information About The Goldfish Snack Name Change

Goldfish is rebranding the yummy treats at Chilean Sea Bass.  The fish which rebranded itself.

From its beginning as a snack served in small bowls in bars across Canada and the US, the orange treat has evolved into a must have staple for parents. Looking to reconnect with their roots, they are now rebranding (temporarily) the name. Here is some quirky information about the Goldfish snack name change.
“We know the love for Goldfish spans all ages,” Danielle Brown, vice president of Goldfish, said in a statement. “Chilean Sea Bass is a playful nod to adults that the iconic fish-shaped snack is for grown-up tastes too.”
The petite snack was created as an act of love by Oscar J. Kambly II for his beloved wife who was a Pisces. He was part of Swiss baking company and created the original fish. Margaret Rudkin, the founder of Pepperidge Farm, acquired the rights to the Goldfish trademark, shape, and recipe while on vacation in Switzerland. Margaret was pioneer in healthy foods.
In 1961, Ruskin sold Pepperidge farm to The Campbell Soup Company and became their first female board member. Campbell’s launched Goldfish crackers in North America in 1962. Today, about $1 billion of them are sold which equals about 142 billion little fish.

The Goldfish rebrand parallels a prior fish rebrand. The fish known today as Chilean Sea Bass is actually the Patagonian Toothfish, a deep-sea species found in the cold waters of the Southern Ocean. In 1977, Lee Lantz, an American seafood merchant, discovered this fish at a Chilean port. Recognizing its potential but realizing that its unappealing name and appearance would be a tough sell, Lantz ingeniously rebranded it as “Chilean Sea Bass”.
The rebranding was a resounding success. Chilean Sea Bass quickly became a favorite in upscale restaurants across the United States and Canada. Chefs appreciated its versatility, mild taste, and melt-in-your-mouth texture, which makes it ideal for various dishes.
The renaming is a way to recapture an adult audience. The little fish has even gone to outerspace. The Space Shuttle Discovery in 1988 brought some to space giving them a worldly air.
Known for being innovative, Goldfish has mixed up their offerings occasionally offering limited time flavor such as Flavor Blasted, Whole Grain, and even limited-edition Dunkin’ Pumpkin Spice Grahams. There openness to mixing is has lead to them being As of 2024, the fastest-growing cracker brand.

The Most Popular Costume In Each State

The Most Popular Costume In Each State

It is the time of year when you try to come up with something clever without being cringy.

Halloween is here and people are scrambling to figure out a costume which is easy, clever and avoids being cringy. About 25% of people will dress up this holiday – from a simple mask to a full blown outfit. Over $4 billion will be spent on costumes. Another $8+ billion will be spent on candy and decorations.  But what to where?  Here is the most popular costume in each state.
The tradition of dressing up for Halloween has deep historical roots, primarily originating from ancient Celtic customs associated with the festival of Samhain. This festival marked the end of the harvest season and the onset of winter, during which it was believed that the boundary between the living and the dead became blurred. To ward off malevolent spirits and honor deceased ancestors, the Celts wore costumes made from animal skins and heads.
As Christianity spread, elements of Samhain merged with Christian celebrations, particularly All Hallows’ Eve, the night before All Saints’ Day. This blending encouraged people to dress as saints, angels, or demons, further shaping the modern Halloween costume tradition. By the 19th century, Irish and Scottish immigrants brought these customs to America, where Halloween began to evolve into a community celebration. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw a rise in elaborate costumes influenced by popular culture, with companies beginning to mass-produce costumes for children and adults alike.

The major force that shifted costumes from suggestively skimpy to downright sexy was Halloween’s re-emergence as an adult “holiday” in the 1970s with the sexual revolution, women’s rights and the gay culture coming out the closet.  The Halloween season, for some, is a time to flaunt the body.

Oreo S’mores

Place a roasted marshmallow atop the Oreo filling that’s already in there and you just created magic.

Can An Air Purifier Get Rid Of The Marijuana Smell

Some homes or indoor spaces can hold smells more than others. With marijuana smells it can be a bit tough, but can a air purifier help?

Cannabis is legal to more than 50% of the population and more people are consuming. As additional states consider legalizing, what about the famous smell? Governor Ron DeSantis has made it a point talking about how cities will stink if weed is legal. Well, marijuana does have some stink, but most smoke outside or in their own home. And Florida is a state of cars and indoor spaces. Smoking cannabis, like tobacco, will be not be allowed indoors except in homes. But occasionally, you are in someone else’s space and, well, things happen.  What to do? Can an air purifier get rid of the marijuana smell?

Additionally, lots of people are traveling and being in mew spaces, especially in legal states. Friends, guests, clients all have different habits.  In fact, Gen Z and millennials took, on average, nearly five trips in 2023. Gen Xers and Boomers to four. Millennials and Gen Zers also say they devote, on average, 29 percent of their incomes to travel, compared with 26 percent for Gen Zers and 25 percent for baby boomers. So this a variety of AirBnBs, friend’s couches, and more. Air purifiers can be highly effective at eliminating cannabis odors from indoor spaces. The key to success lies in choosing the right type of air purifier withappropriate filtration technology.

The most effective air purifiers for cannabis odor utilize a combination of HEPA filtration and activated carbon filters. Here’s how they work.

HEPA Filtration: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters remove tiny particles from the air, including smoke particles that carry odor molecules. This helps reduce the overall concentration of cannabis smoke in the air.

Activated Carbon: The real workhorse for odor elimination is activated carbon. These filters are highly porous and adsorb odor-causing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and gases, effectively trapping the molecules responsible for cannabis smell.
When selecting an air purifier for cannabis odor, here is what to consider. Look for units with large activated carbon filters, ideally containing several pounds of carbon for maximum odor absorption. Choose a purifier powerful enough to cycle the air in your space multiple times per hour for best results. And ensure the purifier is rated for the size of the room where it will be used.

While air purifiers are effective, combining them with other strategies can enhance odor elimination. Designate a specific smoking area to contain odors. Smoke near an open window when possible. Use lower-odor cannabis strains. And lastly clean surfaces regularly to prevent odor buildup.

By using a high-quality air purifier with both HEPA and activated carbon filtration, along with these additional measures,

Red States Lean Green This Election

Red States Lean Green This Election

The last 20 years have seen a big change for marijuana.

The War On Drugs framed a mindset about marijuana for two generations, but in the last 10 years, the country seems to have moved passed it. Now even red states lean green this election. Nixon’s administration went to battle with drug abuse declared “public enemy number one”. But times have changed and so has public opinion and taste. And in this election, even conservative states are polling positive about opening their border for forms of legal cannabis.
The west coast led the way for legalization with California, Oregon and Washington, but other states were slower in acceptance. But as of 2022, over 50% of the population has access to legal weed and even the AARP has come up in support of it for medical marijuana. And states have enjoyed the robust revenue to the state coffers.  States with fully recreational earn more money from cananbis taxes than alcohol. And crime drops also.

In Kansas, the Midwest Newsroom partnered with Emerson College Polling to conduct surveys. More than 72% of the state’s voters said they support legalizing medical marijuana. About 56% support legalizing it for recreational use. Republican leaders in the Sunflower state have opposed legalizing marijuana of any kind. But with some movement at the federal level,  recently appointed a special committee on medical marijuana.

North Dakota voters appear split and largely undecided about the marijuana initiative according to poll commissioned by the North Dakota News Cooperative. The Dakotas are traditionally conservative states, but the North’s sister state to the south is showing a bit of difference. The Chiesman Center for Democracy at the University of South Dakota shows an increase in support, but not quite at the level needed to to pass.

Utah, which is not a fan of alcohol or caffeine seems to be leaning green. A recent poll found 50% of the Beehive State voters would support recreational cannabis. Another 38% of Utahns surveyed support medical cannabis only and 9% believe cannabis should be illegal entirely. Three percent were “not sure.”
Florida, one of the largest states, seems to have leaned into saying yes for recreational marijuana according to polls. This is interesting considering the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, has waged an all out war against the ballot initiative.  Currently, there is a court battle about DeSantis using the state’s resources to put pressure on the media to promote public service announcements against legalization.
November 5 could be a big day for cannabis, and a look into the mindset of the country.

Can Cannabis Or Alcohol Help With Colds

The weather is turning cold, wet and soon snowy – it is the winter cold season – does marijuana or booze help or hurt?

October is when the weather turns and head colds appear in force. There are reasons for it, more time indoors during the colder months, which makes it easier for viruses to spread is a key reason. Also, cold, dry air can make nasal passages more vulnerable to infection. It is heard to avoid, but there are some thing you can do to avoid them and still have fun! Washing your hands, keep work and home surfaces clean, get enough sleep and eat healthy are all helpful.  But can cannabis or alcohol help with colds?

While both marijuana and booze are seen as “bad” and “vices”, there are reasons to consider them as a helpmate during cold season. The average adult will get 2 to 4 colds a year, mainly in the fall and winter months. The symptoms including a stuffy runny nose, sore throat, sneezing, fever and a cough…it makes it miserable.  But beyond a bracing hot toddy…can a couple of vices help?

Alcohol does not make it easier to catch a cold. In fact, there is some evidence moderate alcohol consumption may actually reduce the frequency of colds. However, excessive alcohol use can negatively impact the immune system and potentially increase susceptibility to infections.

Some studies suggest moderate alcohol intake may decrease the number of colds people get overall. For example, one study found that participants who consumed 11.5 to 35.8 grams of alcohol per day (equivalent to about 1-3 standard drinks) experienced fewer episodes of the common cold compared to non-drinkers.

The potential protective effect may be due to alcohol’s influence on certain aspects of the immune response, such as the release of inflammatory cytokines, which could be beneficial for fighting infections in the short term/
Occasional or moderate drinking may have some benefits but excessive or frequent alcohol use can negatively impact the immune system and overall health. Alcohol can weaken the immune system’s ability to fight off infections. It can alter gut flora, damage the intestinal lining, and impair immune cell function in the respiratory tract, increasing vulnerability to infections. And it can lead you to dehydration if you are not careful.
The biggest thing is alcohol may help before you catch a cold, but not after you catch one.
Marijuana can’t help you avoid a cold, but it can help you manage the symptoms. Cannabis, particularly CBD, has anti-inflammatory properties that could help reduce inflammation associated with colds. THC and CBD may help relieve body aches and headaches that often accompany colds. Cannabis can promote sleep, which is important for recovery when sick

And THC can help stimulate appetite, which may be beneficial when feeling unwell

A cold can be caused by a number of different viruses, including rhinoviruses, parainfluenza, and seasonal coronaviruses. There is no cure for the common cold, but there are ways to treat symptoms and feel better while your body fights it off.  Get plenty of rest, hydrate, use humidifiers or team to help the throat and eat well.

Dallas, Daiquiris And Marijuana Decriminalization

Dallas, Daiquiris And Marijuana Decriminalization

New Orleans and Las Vegas are the “party cities” but Dallas is looking at going the list.

When you think of Las Vegas and New Orleans, you pictures people roaming the streets, cocktails in hand, listening to music and soaking up the moment. Alcohol flows like the mighty Mississippi or the fountains of the Bellagio.  But another major city is making a move and voters will get to pay a role. Here is the information on Dallas, daiquiris and marijuana decriminalization.
New Orleans also has a practice called window hawking, where bars, clubs, and restaurants sell drinks to people outside from windows and doorways. The practice began in 1967. Las Vegas seems to have allowed to go drinks from the beginning. Marijuana is still illegal in Louisiana, but Vegas is home to one of the most profitable dispensaries in the US – Planet 13. And it is going to get CANNABITION: An Elevated Immersive Experience. But Dallas has had a different history but has the eye on the future.

Cannabis has fewer health risks than alcohol. And unlike alcohol, it has many health benefits. The American Medical Association, AARP, the American College of Physicians, and the federal government all agree cannabis can help patients. But Governor Greg Abbot has different ideas.
In Texas, including Dallas, liquor can only be purchased from specific liquor stores, which are open Monday through Saturday from 10 AM to 9 PM and are closed on Sunday. Beer and wine can be purchased from stores between 12 PM and 12 AM. Bars and restaurants can serve alcohol on Sunday starting at 10 AM if food is ordered, or at noon if food is not ordered. Certain bars and restaurants can serve until 2 AM any night of the week with a “late hours” permit.
But in 2021, copying New Orleans, Governor Greg Abbott allowed “to go alcohol drinks” like the Big Easy. Abbott on signed a bill to permanently allow Texans to drink and roam. There are now drive thrue daiquiri shops in Dallas. But when it comes to the plant, Abbott is a staunch enemy, siding with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) on keeping it illegal.
So when it comes marijuana – the Governor and Dallas are at odds. The Lone Star politician is  hot over Dallas voters looking at decriminalizing cannabis in small amounts. The state is even threating to sue the cities. But, as usual, oppenents are swimming against the tide of public opinion. The Univeristy of Texas at Austin did a poll shows the majority of people believe the laws should be less strict.
This is in line with a Pew Research which said almost 90% of the public believe it should be legal in some form. Now Dallasites will have a chance to move in the direction of the public will on election day.

You Are Not Going To Believe This

They are good for your mental health and most occasionally remember them, here is how marijuana effects dreams.  

It is sometimes confusing when someone we know says something a little wacky. Like chocolate milk comes from cows. But 7% of Americans believe it comes from brown cows. There is a difference between book smart referring to knowledge gained primarily through reading and studying, and common sense the ability to make practical judgments and navigate real-world situations. Common sense doesn’t always need explicit instruction, which can sometimes be seen as lacking in someone considered book smart. MacGuyer, Scorpion and other shows have been based on the difference.  While it is logical, you are not going to be believe this list of things things people think!
While carrots are rich in vitamin A, which is essential for eye health, they do not enhance vision beyond normal levels. This myth was propagated during World War II as a way to explain why British pilots were successful at night raids.
Based on many, many detective shows is the belief you can not report someone missing until 24 hours have passed.  Actually, you can contact the authorities as soon as you feel they are unaccounted for without any waiting period.

 While it is annoying and may freak some people out, research indicates knuckle cracking does not lead to arthritis or joint damage. The sound comes from gas bubbles in the synovial fluid, and while it may annoy others, it poses no health risks.
And despite what your parents may have said, there is no need to wait an hour after eating before you go swimming. The American Red Cross and other medical professionals say eating before swimming is not dangerous. There are no documented deaths from swimming after eating, and the idea that it’s dangerous is a myth.  While swimming does divert blood flow, it’s not medically recommended to wait before eating.
And last, a small portion of the population believe the earth is flat. This has been a benefit for YouTube who receives tons of traffic when a “flat earthed” does a video proven the world is flat and ends up doing the opposite.
