I cannot be the only marijuana smoker that saves the roaches to the blunts or joints that I am smoking in the ashtray. Isn’t this like a widespread practice? Or am I just the one? Seems to me this is what people all across the globe are doing.

Anyway, since I was sitting there doing I thought that I would explain the practice to you guys just in case you are interested. Before we begin, let’s address why you would want to do this. The answer should be obvious.

You are out of weed

Once you take that sweet last puff of ganja that you have slowly been watching get smaller and smaller, there is a feeling that comes over your body. This is your last high….at least until you go and get some more marijuana.

Yet, if you have been saving your joint and blunt roaches, the end tips of the marijauan, then you could be in business if you don’t mind taking a little bit of time. The trick is there are small amounts of marijuana left in each roach, you just have to concentrate that so you can smoke it.

1. Gather all the roaches from your ashtrays. Determine how many roaches you have.

2. Fold some joint paper in half.

3. Crack each roach open emptying the contents into the joint paper

4. After sufficient amount, roll the joint paper up.

5. Fire it up!

At this point, you have made one more joint to keep the party going by using the roaches in your ashtray. Sure, you can hit each joint directly, but that is often too close to the fire. Why not just take a little extra time and enjoy the ganja just a little bit more?

Besides, there is something about the ends of roaches. They seem to contain the most THC as the smoke has traveled down threw them, so it is usually a pretty good high. Well the last high is always pretty good.

Later Smokers!

As mentioned, I am running the 2010 Chicago Marathon. It has always been a life goal of mine. Well, the pre-training has begun. It is not my intention to go into my training all flabby because I have been doing much over the last 3 or 4 months. After doing P90X, frankly, my body was tired, so I took a rest.

This coming May marks 18 weeks from the Marathon, which is the training program that I am following. You can see it here,  Marathon training schedule. It is no joke and there is a 6 mile run at the end of week 1. Can’t set myself up for failure like this by not getting ready.

The Workouts Begin

Thus, I, Jackson Blaze, the Motivated Pothead, has been working out over the past two days. Yesterday, I got up and went to workout at the fitness club. Got in some great bench work, curls, pull ups, tri-ceps and a 1 mile run. Topped it off with the steam room, but the it was unusually hot, so I only stayed like 5 minutes.

After the workout, I felt great. Got my shower in and got down to work. After working a few hours, the crave began. The Mothership was calling and it was time to take a flight. I grabbed my humidor for my stash….AND IT WAS EMPTY!

What a terrible feeling! So, I did what I had to did to get what I wanted…and it worked. Fortunately, I had a blunt left over, so I rolled that and puffed a way. Great ending to the first day back working out.

Today’s Run and smoke Session

Today, I got up feeling good. A bit sore as I haven’t worked out in a bit as I explained, but I was ready to go. Last night, I talked with my wife and we agreed that we would go for a three mile run in the morning after she dropped our children off at school.

Well, we got it in. Instead of three miles, we ran two miles. Which was great because I might not have made the third mile. LOL, I am laughing, but I am serious.

In the middle of the second mile, my shoe string came untied and I was so happy to stop and tie it up. Telling the truth, I even tied my other shoe again, just go buy extra rest time.

Well, it worked. After the much needed break, we continued on our run home. It was exhilarating as we kicked it round the bend all the way to the house. I felt like my heart was going to jump out my chest, but we made it.

I struggled up the drive, took a shower, and fired up the other half of that blunt. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, flight time has started and we are cruising on the mothership. In fact, get some of this. This song is called “Flight Time” by Donald Bird and it is so appropriate.

With my lungs feeling great from the run, my spirit elevated from the ganja, I am off into my day. Hope you have a good and let’s keep it moving.

But remember, if I can do it, so can you. Smoking marijuana doesn’t have to hold you back from doing anything. All you need to succeed in any venture is drive and motivation. You have the drive, I have the motivation for you, now let’s get it done. I know you have something that you are chasing that you are after, go get it. Write it down and get it done.

Jackson Blaze “the Motivating Pothead”

It never fails. I like to plan my day, so at a certain time I am going to get high. It is in the plan. The day can be going along perfectly and soon as I sneak off to my smoking spot, fire up the ganja, and get back to my activities, someone or something calls to interrupt you.

Today, I was high as a kite, floating and enjoying my day. Then the telephone rings, you get an inbox on Facebook, or even a text, someone needs you to do something and it is urgent on their end. Meaning, you have to stop what you are doing and attend to this pressing matter.

Lately, it seems that is all that has been happening to me and I am not feeling it one bit. I plan my day, work my ass off to get in the groove, only to get high, then get interrupted.

Does this happen to you and how do you handle the situations that arise? Do you just keep smoking and ignore the issues?

Blaze one and let me know where you stand.

It is official, Potheads, the United States of America has a new health care bill that passed is and is being touted as the most historic legislation in the past 40 years. As Vice President, Joe Biden, said, “This is a BIG FUCKING DEAL!”

I couldn’t believe that he said such a think to the President on the mic. What, did he not know the microphone would be live and on when it is next to the President, or did he just not give a damn because it was a big fucking deal.

No matter how you feel about the legislation, it was about time this country did something to help the people that are struggling through this economy.

With that said, I am not feeling this bill at all. It is luke warm as they say. Think about it, this bill pleased no one, but the Insurance companies, the President didn’t get the support he wanted and how are they going to stop Insurance companies from raising the prices.

I would have liked to see a nonprofit healthcare sector. That would have done it for me. At least that would have giving me the illusion that someone cared about the people. The people are only the backbone, muscle, and tissue of this country. You would think or hope that those that Govern it would at least show an interest in the people beyond lip service.

I don’t want to get to political on this site, but Potheads have an opinion as well.

One bill I would like to see is the one that legalizes marijuana and makes it available to the people to use on the medical and recreational purposes.

What do you think of the Health Care bill?
