As a side note before starting this recommendation, I’m always self-conscious when I write these titles because I’m not sure what words should be capitalized. Like, is ‘and’ capitalized? How about ‘it’? Anyway, enjoy the post
This is fun and I’d recommend doing it, but it gets old really quickly, and when it does get old, just stop doing it because then you’ll begin to resent the activity, this website and then maybe even God, who knows? Some people have really slippery slippery slopes, like mechanics, for instance (mainly because of the oil that leaks onto their slopes, that shit is slippery). So yeah, if you’re one of those people with really slippery slopes or if you just like cars, then don’t do this for too long.
Anyway, here’s what you should do. Go to the Sports Guy’s website (http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/simmons/index) and go to one of the articles. Now, on the right side of the article there will be an advertisement (when I noticed this, it was for Miller Lite). Now, scroll down the page. You’ll notice that when you scroll slowly or even stop for a second, the advertisement on the right will follow you either up or down on the page. This works on any website with similar advertising structures. Now, just scroll up and down and try to evade the advertisement, or even you can just wait for the advertisement to catch up. Hell, make up your own games if you want. If you do and find something fun, post it as a comment so that other people can try it. We’re a community at the weed feed.
I know what you’re saying, “I’m bad at crossword puzzles.” It doesn’t matter. In fact, I think the worse you are, the more you’ll enjoy doing them when you’re high. Basically crossword puzzles are lists of random words. Here is an example from Friday’s New York Times.
42. Japanese market inits.
43. Cry of accomplishment.
44. Tacit.
46. Cry made with great effort.
48. Mine shaft drill.
49. Multiple Emmy winner for “Nick News”
\51. Return of the Jedi dancing girl.
55. Come together.
56. Shuffling goal.
“What the fuck? This doesn’t make any sense. Why would someone put all these random words together like this, and what the fuck do they mean?” If you’re high and doing a crossword puzzle, just think this to yourself and it’ll become the most fun thing in the world, because Crossword Puzzles taken at face value are just ridiculous.

This is one of the most mesmerizing video games I’ve ever played. Well, it really isn’t that much of a videogame, but it’s really encapsulating, and it’s free. Here’s how you get it: search Tux Raver on Google, and then download it (I assumed you can go to the first search result). You download it and make it work on your computer and all of that stuff. Then, you open up the game and go to practice, then scroll down all the practices until you find the one that says “Who Said Penguins Can’t Fly?” Press play and enjoy. The point of the game is to get the Penguin to go down the giant brick of ice as fast as possible.
There are many possible reasons why this game is so enjoyable to play when you’re high. The most probable one is that a penguin flying down a giant sheet of ice at amazing speeds is just fun to watch when you’re high (also include the shots of the penguin flying in mid-air). It’s also a game that really just requires three fingers to play, and it’s really kind of easy. Plus, fun stuff just happens when you play the game. Just play it and thank me later.

Honestly, I feel inadequate writing this recommendation, because I truly do not know what makes Super Smash Brothers Brawl so appealing when one is high. It may be the absolute concentration that it necessitates. It may be that the game is so much fun when you’re sober that it just gets a little bit better when you’re high. It may be that both smoking weed and playing the game are social activities. It may just be that it’s a lot of fun to taunt people in this game, and even more so when you’re high. It may even just be all the cool colors on the screen and the even more impressive feats that all these characters can do (“dude, I just froze you.”) If there is any scientist out there that can examine the physiological reasons behind this game being so fun when you’re high, I would be more than happy to publish said scientist’s report. But until then, it remains a mystery. What doesn’t remain a mystery though, is that this game is amazing to play when you’re high.

I think one of the best things about being high is that it helps you enjoy some really childish things that are really fun. One of these is rolling around on the grass. One way you can do this is by going to a grassy hill and rolling down that. If you decide to do this, don’t just roll on your side, do crazy shit that makes you roll around all over the place. Turn a little, which will make you go over backwards. And if you manage to get on your feet for a second, jump. That will make you go faster and make the whole experience more fun. However, if you don’t have a hill, or don’t think you’re an advanced enough roller to handle one, just rolling around on flat grass is fun too. The grass feels really good on your skin, and you can also feel the strains of grass through your shirt and pants. Also, at the end you are all messy, and it’s really fun to just examine yourself and see exactly how you stained your clothes. It’s just a really fun and childish exercise that I’m sure you’ll enjoy when you’re high.

I’m not the type of person who works out that much, or at all really. That is why I laughed a little when one of my friends recommended to me that I go to a gym when I’m high. I realized that I couldn’t possibly enjoy the experience, because, well, I don’t enjoy working out, and when I’m high I get really lazy, which would seem to make me enjoy the experience even less. However, a couple of days ago, I decided to take his advice and I went to the gym at my college.
First of all, it was sort of hard to find, but I think that was mainly because I was blazed and because I haven’t been there before. I opened the door and walked in and was immediately overwhelmed by bright white lights that shone from the ceiling and radiated off of the even whiter walls. I waited in line to swipe my card, and felt a little self-conscious because all the other people on line were substantially more fit than I was. But I bucked up and waited and swiped my card and then tried to find my way to the workout center/fitness place or whatever you want to call it. Which, in retrospect, was one of my problems. There was a sign that gave directions to the different places that I could go, but there was a fitness center, an exercise room and about 30 different synonyms all with arrows pointing in different directions. So, I said, “fuck these directions” and proceeded to just walk around the gym, trying to find it myself.
This was a bad idea, to say the very least. But whatever. I walked up the stairs. There is nothing more impersonal than stairs in a gym. There is an omnipresent light that seems to be exactly the same wherever you go. I don’t know the exact word for the style of the walls, but they were white, and there were delineated rectangles. There was a steel railing that went down in the middle of the stairs, which seemed as if it was picked up at a yard sale from a project building in the old Czechoslovakia. That is really the only way I can describe it. It wasn’t necessarily old, or decrepit, but it was out of place because it didn’t seem to fit the mood of human perfectionism that radiated from the area (which I will get to later).
I finally got to the top of the stairs and looked around. There were three possible ways that I could go, and for some reason I knew I couldn’t go to the right. I think it’s because that was the only place in the whole gym that wasn’t shining brighter than, well, something that shines extremely bright, but not in a blinding sense. I’ll let you construct that simile. I looked to the left and saw a basketball court, with a work out area behind it. I didn’t think I was allowed to pass through the basketball court to get to the workout area, so I just went straight, hoping to find my way around.
There was a door in front of me, and I opened it. I entered what was an aboveground tunnel-like contraption that led me over the street to the part of the gym that lay on the other side. I went down a staircase and saw giant doors in front of me with the light out behind them. I assumed that meant I couldn’t go there. I followed a path that went to my right and looked through a window and saw a man exercising by himself in a large, empty room with mats and a giant inflatable ball. I assumed this was the exercise room and I didn’t want a part of it, so I continued; but all I found after that were racquetball courts and a viewing station that allowed people to gaze in on the games going on underneath them. This was insane! People can go view other people work out in this area. It was as much of a spectator event as it was something else; whatever you’d call it. But I think this is the bizarre aspect of gyms that I will elaborate on later. They project this idea that you are constantly gazed upon, constantly judged, constantly inadequate, constantly in need of improvement. It is the ultimate projection of modernism.
But I left this place and went back to the basketball courts and decided to try to go through the games so that I could get to the place with all the machines. That’s the place I wanted to go to. This other place I was at was way too unfamiliar. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been to racquetball courts and stairwells, and I’ve even seen railways that were antiques from the communist era in the post-communist countries that seem to always linger in a sort of nostalgia for nothing (because their history always sucked). But there’s something about going to a gym that necessitates machines, and in order to get the gym experience, I felt like I needed to interact with them
I pulled back the curtain that separated the basketball court and the gym and I was overwhelmed. I don’t think I sufficiently described my mood this whole time (and I always said I would elaborate on it later), so I’ll do that now. I felt like I was in A Brave New World. And I was horrified. The world seemed so bleak, so formulaic. Everyone was working towards one goal. Everyone on the rows upon rows of treadmills and biking machines and those ladder thingamajiggers. Everyone was in this determined state. Everyone felt self-conscious and in need of improvement. Everyone was trying to improve themselves. And I think that when everyone left, they felt a little bit better about themselves. I don’t mean to be critical, and if you believe in modernism, gyms, self-improvement or even eugenics, I’m not criticizing. (I know I may seem like an alarmist, but from the mindset I witnessed, at least when I was high, eugenics and fascism didn’t seem like that far away.) What added to this feeling were the rows upon rows of television sets that people were watching while working out, all of which had Fox News playing. It seemed like a type of brainwashing to me. People were told that they weren’t good enough, went to a gym to improve themselves (buying into the notion of good and bad and better or worse) and then watched Fox News for an hour or so while continuously telling themselves that they weren’t good enough.
I ran a mile. I guess one of my problems with the gym is that there are too many guys. So I have the option of either staring at a dude working out, or staring at Pat Buchanan talking about Health Care. I guess if I had music that would be better. All in all though, I would say that running when you’re high isn’t the worst thing, not do I think working out with weights is either. You don’t really feel the pain that comes from working out, and thus you are able to do it without being really uncomfortable. Moreover, repetitive motions are fun when you’re high, because, well, everything is fun when you’re high. So I would say that working out is pretty fun when you’re high, but the gyms are freaky and fascist. I had to leave after a mile because I couldn’t really take it anymore.
This is something that I think should be discussed. Chicago is a great game to play. There are some downsides though and I feel as if I should cover those second, right after I define what it is to those who don’t know. Chicago is a game in which a person takes a hit and then has to hold that hit in until the blunt comes back to him or her; at which point the person exhales and takes another hit, and holds it in, but this depends on how many cycles of the game one plays. I think that the only negative thing about Chicago is that sometimes if you just want to chill, then it’s not really that much fun, because you can’t really chill when playing Chicago since there’s always that pressure of keeping the smoke in. Also, you can’t really talk that much while playing.
But besides that, there are nothing but positive things to say about this game. It gets you higher because it forces you to keep your breath in longer. It preserves the weed because (since Chicago is usually played with Ls or Js) there is not a lot of time when it is burning without someone smoking it. So you have that aspect which makes you even higher. And then on top of all of this, I think it’s fun to see how long you can keep your breath in. Again, I wouldn’t limit my smoking experience to playing this game, but form time to time it can be a fun way to get extremely blazed with very little bud.
The trick to figuring out the ideal activity to do while high is to break down what exactly occurs to you under the influence. Knowledge of the simple fact that marijuana inhibits the user’s coordination would tell the marijuana smoker not to do certain activities, such as baseball. However, the fact that it augments one’s sensory perceptions means that you should listen to music or eat great food. Now, add the fact that marijuana allows one to not feel certain types of discomfort, or at the very least diminishes those feelings, and walking becomes one of the most perfect activities to do. Before I talk more about walking I want to strongly advise you to bring along a bottle of water, because walking increases the chances of catching cotton mouth.
I would recommend walking anywhere you can. I don’t think that there is necessarily an ideal place to walk, but rather that each place offers its own unique advantages. Whatever environment suits you the most at the moment is the one I would recommend walking in (although comon man, don’t walk in like, a gym; go outside). Wherever you go, there will most probably be beautiful scenery and the fact that you are high will allow you to enjoy it more. Also, since walking is an extremely slow process, or at the very least relative to other modes of transportation such as driving, it gives you more time to focus on any of the beautiful things you will see.
Walking also allows you to feel better, and I would recommend doing it after doing another stoner activity that would make you feel shitty. For example, if you just gouged down a massive amount of food and don’t feel that well, go for a walk. You will work off that food. And I don’t mean that as if I cared about health, I just mean it allows you to process it better which will help the way you feel.
There is a lot more that I can say about walking, and I most probably will at some time. I can see a couple of follow-up articles on walking. Anyway, I don’t want to make it too long, so I’ll just leave it to that. Well, one more thing. I am not the biggest fan of walking with music. However, I used to be a big fan (still not the biggest), so I understand liking to listen to music when you walk. All I say is, try doing it once in a while without music. It allows you to concentrate more on the scenery that is around you and the thoughts that the scenery brings up. However, that is not to say that music doesn’t allow you to think, which is why I’m not saying never listen to music. Finally, it’s really important to have a solid, consistent playlist when you’re walking. If you aren’t confident in your playlist-making ability, go for a full album. One that I would recommend is Blood Sugar Sex Magik by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Walking with my dog was what got me into them. If not that though, go for any The Clash album or Bob Dylan.
If I had a religion, it would have something to do with the color green. And this isn’t some pun having to do with the fact that marijuana is green. Green has to do with so much than that.
The ideal setting for looking at green would be outdoors. If you’re by yourself, just roll a j or a tj pearce and just sit down anywhere you want (in a park, in your backyard, in a jungle) and just look at the trees. If you want to listen to music its fine, but you should definitely do this at least one time without listening to music. Just sit, high as fuck, and look at the different shades of green in the leaves and trees and grass and let your thoughts just go wherever they want. Eventually, try looking at the trees in and out of focus so you stop seeing each individual leaf or tree and start seeing it as a giant compilation of different beautiful colors. If you are with different people, I would recommend basically doing the same thing, but instead of letting your thoughts wander, just let your conversation wander. There isn’t any particular time that’s perfect for doing this; or rather, every single time is perfect for doing this, even at the dead of night.
You may not be stricken by the magnetism of this color the first time you look at it. And if you aren’t, don’t just dismiss this advice and think that it is one of the (extremely) rare bad recommendations. Rather, go back and stare at green again and again. It’s not the most exciting thing in the world to do, and you might get bored. But eventually you’ll see how unbelievably beautiful the green in nature is, and its really a pleasure to just sit back and look at it, especially when you’re smoking a J.

There are very few websites that are as eloquently written and that recommend such fun activities as theweedfeed.wordpress.com. The people who write the articles for this site are extremely insightful and are definitely extremely skilled in the art of pot smoking. All the things that they have recommended so far were extremely fun when I have done them. Their ratings of everything are also extremely accurate. Reading their site gives pleasure to me whenever I do it. And I can follow them on twitter too.
The only thing that I enjoy doing more than reading articles of theirs is recommending those articles to my friends. Nothing in the world gives me more joy than just calling up a friend and being like, “yo breh, go to the weedfeed.wordpress.com.” That way I know I am sharing the joy of this amazing resource. The people who made this site are truly genius, and pretty good looking too.
