Mandi Beck delievrs a brilliant story with Stoned. The story is gut wrenching at times but the love behind these characters is beautiful. This story is a realistic. Life and love can be messy. Never wanted the story to end.

I first heard this in 1971 while simultaneously being introduced to a bong. One of the highlights of my life. If you have never smoked and want to, and never heard this, I envy you the opportunity. Just don't let anyone tell you the plot, there is one to the whole album, it's more fun to figure it out. Listening to this the first time was only topped by listening to 'I Think We're All Bozos on This Bus' while experiencing a different chem around the same time. I wouldn't trade these two experiences for anything.

This book has a piece of history that you probably never find on the internet or newspaper , because the federal government doesn't want you to know about what Michael Brown did in September of 1975 ( and anybody who did this would get away with it to because it is a self defense act) he attempted to bomb the United Nations auditorium where the podium is , he literally got "caught holding the bag" (bomb) and in this primer on the basics of filing a civil complaint ( ie:lawsuit) he relates to this heroic episode . He wound up in the Terre Haute Federal Pen for about three years on a 10 year setence , he literally wrote his way out ( and he did time with BIVENS , where the USC 42 1983 BIVENS ACTION was born ) i've since bought The Criminal Defendants Bible , The Drug Defendants Bible and $130 worth of sample motions from the Rommel School of Law and i don't regret it at all , to the contrary , i havven't finished buying what i want from them. You won't either i believe .

Marihuana Reconsidered is without a doubt the most important and incendiary look at cannabis today. Although those not inclined to read should be directed to the 2009 documentary The Union (very well done, but not nearly so thorough as associate professor emeritus of harvard medical school)anyone willing to put in the effort will find themselves extremely well versed in the whole truth about cannabis. Lester Grinspoon is just about as credible an author can get. More people need to read this book. It doesn't matter if you want to use marijuana. This is an issue that may very well be decided in the next few years. In November Californians will be voting on Proposition 19 to legalize, regulate and tax cannabis for recreational use for adults over the age of 21. This would not nullify federal law, but since 97% of marijuana arrests are at the state level it is certainly a big deal. 14 states have legal medical cannabis. This is relevant to everyone looking for a thorough, credible and scientific account on the truth about the plant people have loved to smoke for thousands of years. Did they just not know any better? Most people know it has 4-5 times the tar of tobacco cigarettes. That sounds gross, but does it cause cancer? Emphysema? Kill brain cells? Lead to hard use? Dr. Lester Grinspoon uses his own studies and those funded by the US government (and then ignored) to prove decidedly that it does none of this and it is in fact the safest psychoactive substance known to man. Intrigued, but not ready to by the book? Check out some interviews where Grinspoon reveals what his research demonstrated. Even for those who hate the idea of marijuana, it should be difficult to ignore a man of Grinspoon's esteem telling the world that until he looked into the studies available he was brainwashed about cannabis like everyone else.

TLDR: He's the world's leading authority on Marijuana. If you want to learn about cannabis, then read Dr. Grinspoon!!!

I listened to this Cd for countless months with my friends back in 1993. I was completely hooked the grooves were cool as was the rappin' These guys deserve more acknowledgement. Their isn't a bad tune here at all. Im not a  rap fan but if u had to get just 2 rap cd's make it this and Ice Cube's The  Predator. Favs include I wanna Get High,Insane in the Brain,Lick A Shot,as  well as the classic Hits From The Bong.

As many of you know, I have been doing an online music magazine for 22 years now... This was my first introduction to the label Inverse Records from Finland, and this is the first thing they sent me. I am not only a fan of heavy metal, but also enjoy stoner rock from time to time, and in fact covered it when the Man's Ruin Records label was putting out all sorts of stuff by stoner rock bands like Natas, Dozer, Acid Witch and the like... There's a reason for this small history lesson, folks... It was one of the first times I ever heard sick vocal work akin to black metal crossed with HEAVY, bottom ended and fuzzed out stoner rock. And each track is slow, prototypical doom, but SO heavy!! The mixture on their first album "The Descent" was awe inspiring, but here they show no signs of changing what works so well. They still have a melodic instrumental to throw things off, but all in all, crushing crunchiness and you know that most bands hailing from Scandinavia are going to be good anyway. If you're thinking there's nothing new under the sun, or nothing left to do in music to be original, then you obviously haven't heard of Demonic Death Judge. The name fits perfectly as well.. Get this AND their debut "The Descent," if you want crushing, heavy music that will blow your mind...

"This is really teaching me a lot...it's teaching me I might as well be high."

If you've been previously misinformed, I can promise you that Doug Benson's comedy isn't just for stoners.

The cooked/uncooked format of this (getting to hear the set twice) was genius. I listen to many podcasts because what I like about comedy or comedians has evolved over the years. Rather than just seeing the polished set that airs on TV, I prefer to hear my favorite comedians riffing, doing extemporaneous bits, working/controlling the crowd. I like that 'behind the scenes' feel of getting to hear how they actually they work out their sets - and the unique format of this album is a great exposure to that.

There's some imagery (and terms) that will stay with me forever, and always make me smile when I think of it.

I don't want to list more, I don't want to spoil any punchlines, but I could go on and on.

Although "The Sot-Weed Factor" is a brick of a book, it reads breezily. Barth managed to create a great parody of a historical novel, and a novel of "box in a box" type - there are so many interconnected stories, retrospectives, lost and found memoir, twists and turns, and everything written in such a hilarious manner and at a top speed, that only someone who is totally in control of his writing could make this work.

The main protagonist, Ebenezer Cooke, wants to make a career of writing and becomes the Poet-Laureate of Maryland (at the end of the 17th century, when its boundaries are disputable and there is practically no law enforcement or morals) with a mission to write an epic poem praising this territory. He goes to Maryland and gets involved in most improbable adventures, in which the crucial role is played by his former tutor, Henry Burlingame, a character of many faces (in fact, almost every character is not who they were at the beginning, including Eben's twin sister or his prostitute muse). Many legendary and historical characters are also mentioned in this novel, which in fact, albeit satirically, forms a Maryland epic in itself. The language and humor are unbeatable, and it is an intellectual delight.

Tommy Chong and Evil Bongs!!!! How can you go wrong?? There's lots of fun here. You got your group of stoners (think the gang from Half Baked but more clueless) that stumble on a bong with magic powers, but not the good kind, the bad kind... the EVIL kind. Once you smoke this bong you're sent into this evil world filled with strippers that try to kill our heroes (not a bad way to go) and now they must find a way to destroy this evil bong. Tommy Chong is hilarious as the guy who has gone up against this bong before. He's got that classic stoner's charm that has made him famous. I couldn't stop laughing at all the goofy stuff these guys were doing. This is your perfect stoner flick with hilarious moments and naked chicks. I mean, this is no masterpiece but if you like some just dumb fun entertainment it's certainly worth a watch. And I just heard that a sequel's coming out in July!!!! I can't wait to check it out. I hope they make a long line of the movies in the future.

If they could bottle this stuff, it would taste like bong water. A close friend of mine, who knows that I'm into early Celtic Frost, Venom, and Black Sabbath, gave me Dopethrone and said I'd LOVE it. He couldn't have been more wrong!
I hate giving bad reviews because I understand that for every album out there; there's a following of people who get alot of enjoyment out of whatever it is they're into. I respect the other reviewers of this CD for finding some quality in this music, my friend gives the same reasons why he finds it so groundbreaking, but I just can't agree.
It's like Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, Goatsnake, and the rest of these stoner-metal bands got the idea that because Sabbath's "Sweet Leaf" and "The Wizard" are such great songs, let's do more songs just like them, but have an ultra-raw sound via no production whatsoever.
IMO these bands are for people who keep a tray under their couch, and like to spend all of their free time in a coma.

A voluminous history of Hitlers horrible empire written in fluent prose. If you are even a little interested in nazis, this is the thing to read. Even the prologue is stunning. I am afraid that this thing is never over. There will always be some schmuck with only one testicle who wants to show his might by starting a war. And with today's weapons it will be the end of all life in earth. If Hitlers era was the most terrible in human history, writing this book was a service to human race.

I had known about this book for some time but simply did not believe that a couple of organic chemists could possibly write a captivating history. I am now printing out that sentence so I can eat it. This was one of the most original spins on world history that I have ever read.

Drs. Le Couteur and Burreson do indeed fill a hefty number of pages with diagrams of chemical structures and formulae but none of them are essential to the understanding of this book. It is absolutely a book on history, not chemistry and all their geeky stuff simply breaks down the thesis that a tiny difference in the bond between two molecules could have massive impact on the entire planet. Had tin, which made up the buttons of Napoleon's fearsome army, not crumbled to dust at low temperatures, soldiers may not have frozen to death during the Russian winter and France may have come to dominate the universe instead of England. I know I'm praying to the gods of tin right this very now.

Unbelievably stoned!
These headphones sound like those high end expensive over the head headphones that I have laying around.
For those who complained about deep bass please grab yourself an equalizer app.  Thats what I did and I have a moving listening music.  You need to consider your music source when listening to music.
I am so impressed that I am going for a second set.

"You can communicate with crickets if your outside. You just have to tap on a hard surface, rhythmically."

Sleep's Dopesmoker is an incredible album. It's an album that is as much of an attempt at an epic fantasy novel, as it is an endorsement of an altered state, as represented by Emu stomach drones and metal-soul tones. Sabbath drip, but no note-for-note trip.

I smoked dope a few minutes ago.

The downstrokes/downbeats in this song/album make you know they have researched the feeling.

This is the only song that really matters.

Even if you belong to the non-imbibing freeloader sect. You will understand why we have to be martyrs of the leaf. You will hear this song and realize why we, the foggy children of Nazareth, have to set these deep frequencies. We have other options but this option is the only one that is "badass".

what a clear and powerful read. the facts are overwhelming and clearly indicate the history of myths about using marijuana has deeply and negatively impacted people's thinking about its use. equalize it! even legalize it. the facts point to no other sane option.
