Today is a most interesting day. I woke with the knowledge that the kids would away at play and I would have ample time to myself. My wife is away on a trip for a week, so there is ample me time. It is great, but can get old fast especially when you have grown comfortable being with someone.

Anyway, so it is 2:18pm and I finally got a chance to fire up my blunt and sit at the computer. But I have been cutting wholes in my ceiling and searching for a leaky pipe.

A few months back, my wife and I stopped using our shower because we feared it was leaking water onto our drywall below and cause major damage and dollars. Well, today was the day I decided I was going to tackle this issue. So, i jumped into my truck and ran to Menards to get a drywall knife to start doing damage.

As you can see from the pics, I went to work in two particular locations.  The first one was underneath my master shower and the second in the corner, above the door way. Need to see below the master shower to see if there were leaks from the drain, nothing. Then, there was wet spots showing in the corner, so I cut a section out there.

When I turned the shower on, there was no sign of wet surfaces or water dripping. I thought I was in the clear, but wanted to call in someone else. So I called my neighbor, he came over from bowling and drinking a bit, rushes upstairs to piss, and used one of the bathrooms above where I had been cutting  into the ceiling and water falls on the floor.

Turns out, it was the second floor, common toilet that was leaking all these months, not our master shower. Hahahaha, so yes, we had not used our shower in months for nothing. That is too funny.

My neighbor had a good laugh, but it is all good to me cause I can’t wait to take a shower there. It is not much, but it is mine.

Part 2 coming: The Toilet

There is more coming because now we have to remove the toilet, then change the wax ring, what ever that is. Guess I will find out today.  But, now I am high as I have step aboard the spaceship and took a flight. So, this next project should be interesting,

What’s crackin Potheads,

Don’t pay attention to the remodeling I am doing around here at We Smoke Marijuana. The purpose to get get a bit more personal, blog a little more frequently, more importantly set up my soap box and give you the Marijuana perspective.

Jackson Blaze delivers THE MARIJUANA PERSPECTIVE

If don’t correctly, this won’t be a one way lecture, but a conversation involving you. I promise to shoot from the him, write most blogs high from some sweet ganja, and to have a good time doing this.

Hope you will participate, invite others, but it should be found to get and give the Marijuana Perspective on all sorts of issues, done in a frank, honest, and elevated perspective, the marijuana perspective.

Who is Jackson Blaze?

I am the everyday person that wants more for their children, love life, get high and work diligently in my profession. I am an entrepreneur that has created the luxury of working from home everyday. I have had three jobs in my life, one in high school, one in undergrad, and one in grad school. Once I graduated, I was and have been on my own.

One of the chief reasons this is so is because I like to blow ganja, be with my family, actively raise my children, stay fit, read, learn, grow and more, but these things are made difficult following the typical employment paths. Therefore, I am an ambitious, opinionated, compassionate entrepreneur that will be speaking with you from time to time about things that occupy my mind while high.

Update

There will be a few changes made to the site, but looking forward getting the conversation started.

Back in a bit,

Jackson Blaze

Let us talk for a moment about the current state of affairs in the United States.  Our society is one based on profit, no matter the sector, be it Wall Street or tobacco, beer or beauty products, jails or pharmaceuticals.  Knowing this, you have to ask yourself, where do you put the limits on these things.  If everything is for profit, then the goal of everything is to get all the money you can.  This makes sense when you apply it to competing products like beer, soda pop, snack foods, and many other things, but when you stop and think about the way to profit in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and jails, you have to reconsider the process.

If a jail is for profit, the way to increase profit is to increase the number of inmates.  For each inmate in the US, on average, a jail gets $70,000 per year of incarceration.  That creates incentive for jails to increase the number of inmates.  How do they do this?  Create an atmosphere that breeds more crime!  Fights, drug trafficking, alcohol production; all these things go on jails everyday.  The result?  Extended sentences.

Before we go any further, lets look at how these jails got so full to begin with.  Approximately 48% of prison populations in the US are made up of burglars, murderers, rapists, and other violent offenders.  So what makes up the other 52% you ask?  Non-violent drug offenders!  That’s right, your government allows your tax dollars to pay for the incarceration of more non-violent drug offenders, many sentenced under mandatory minimum sentences, than it does violent criminals.  In fact, many violent criminals are released on parole early to make room for the non-violent offenders under mandatory minimum sentences.

Going further, lets look at the drug “crimes” themselves.  Many are prescription pill offences.  The government allows the drug manufacturers to produce enough pills to allow the known problem of abuse to continue and increase.  The drug manufacturers gladly produce mass quantities of pills such as Oxycontin and others, knowing full well that the majority of them will end up on the black market, and they don’t care.  Doctors then write the prescriptions because of incentives given by these manufacturers.  The effect of this policy of turning a blind eye is that the government is effectually producing addicts.  When the addicts then get out of control, they wind up in the for-profit prison system.

About half of the people incarcerated for non-violent drug crimes are in for simple marijuana possession, but sentenced to ridiculously long terms because of mandatory minimum sentencing.   Our government has always used marijuana users as scapegoats for their policy abuses.  Hundreds of millions of dollars a year are poured into fighting a weed.  That is why law enforcement is mostly against ending prohibition.  They fear the loss of revenue, for they too, are for-profit.

It is time we stand up and let this government know that we are no longer sleeping through their deception.  We have awakened and will no longer tolerate them stripping our personal liberties.  We are united together against the tyranny of the prohibition machine that creates addicts only to punish them for being what they were conditioned to be. This is the New Revolution, ladies and gentlemen, and we can no longer afford to be silent.  The weapon of this revolution is the voice we are given.  It is time we use it.  For more information on what you can do, write to me.

There are literally thousands of ways to smoke weed and get high as you want to. I am sure you believe me at this point as we have been writing about weed and marijuana for over a year now, or you are high as hell. I am going to go with the latter because we smoke marijuana and obviously, you do to.

Anyway, let’s get into a few of my favorite ways to smoke weed cause this is what we like to do around here on this website.

Ways to Smoke Weed

1) An Onion – Without a doubt, this is the greatest way to smoke weed I have ever seen. If you are not hip to how this process works, then I really feel for you. I can still remember the day when my friends came over my house and we didn’t have any papers, blunts or bongs to smoke out of and were very disappointed. A friend asked did we have any onions and my wife being the cook that she is had some in the refrigerator. She took the onion, peeled it, and rolled a clear blunt from the onion. It was amazing and so was the high that we enjoyed.

2) Roll a Joint - Obviously, this is the classic version of ways to smoke weed, an oldie, but goodie. Doesn’t mean that it isn’t the very, very good because it is. We Smoke Marijuana really enjoys blowing some good ganja in a joint. The problem that I have with joints is that they don’t burn evenly all the time. Because if you are freestyle rolling them, then it is likely that it will not be very even and therefore your burning will move up one side faster than the other.

There is a solution to this that I prefer and once I tried this, it changed my joint smoking pattern forever.  The secret is using a joint roller instead of rolling a  joint freestyle. A joint roller is what I call it, but it is really a cigarette roller. This little machine allows you to put the weed inside of it, then take a joint paper and roll it down into the machine and when you open it up, your joint will be perfectly rolled like a cigarette.

It allows the weed to be placed evenly along the joint, and therefore, it burns evenly. It even burns slower with is a great benefit because if you are just holding the joint, typically it will just burn up your weed.

3) Roll a Blunt – We know this is super hip hop, ghetto style ways to smoke weed, but it is great. They are We Smoke Marijuana approved because they are longer than joints and allow you to get more weed into one smoke session that a joint or any other method. Besides, there is just something about the rolling process of a blunt that is great.

We think rolling a blunt to smoke weed is great because of the ritual aspect of it. You know, you are sitting with a bunch of friends, who hopefully are rolling one as well, busting the blunt open, emptying the contents of the cigar, crumbling your weed up, putting it into the blunt, licking the edges, rolling, sealing, firing it up, and passing it to the left hand side. Remember, he who rolls the blunt, gets to take a few extra tokes for the effort and work put into it, so don’t rush the roller to pass the blunt to you.

4) Pack a Bong – This had to be the wildest ways to smoke weed for me. The first time I smoked weed was in a bong. What a way to start smoking weed, let me tell you? I was in college. My roommate and I had never tried weed before. But my friend across the hall smoked weed all the time. Oh yeah, it was freshmen hear, so I was open to just about anything.

Anyway, one day he talked me into coming over to his dorm room for a toke. I did and it was amazing. Dude pulls out this 3 foot bong with some water and ice in it. At the time, I had no idea that the water and ice is suppose to cool the smoke so when you pull it, it is not as harsh on your lungs and you can take in more smoke….and effectively get higher.

When I came back into my dorm room, my roommate was like, “Dude, what the fuck is wrong with you? Your eyes are bloodshot red.” LMAO! It is funny as hell thinking back. Every time I get high, my friends call it Christmas because I have green eyes and when I smoke they turn red. It is pretty funny, but packing a bong is a great way to smoke weed if you are into getting really, really high as hell.
