The Stoner Bucket List: 20 things to do for 4/20

Posted by Chris Spags
From: http://guyism.com/

This Wednesday is the biggest day for pot smokers everywhere, an international celebration for lovers of cannabis the world over. But it can be difficult to figure out how to make your 4/20 different than any other day so we’re providing you with this Stoner Bucket List of things do to this 4/20 (or any day, really).

20 Use a vaporizer to get high

We’ll start it off easy for you guys. 4/20 is a celebration of pot culture and nothing out there screams “I know my way around a bowl” quite like a high end vaporizer. Whether it’s a Volcano or some contraption you got off Amazon that looks vaguely like Johnny-5 from “Short Circuit”, the vape high is a different feeling, and one everyone should try once.

19 Build a giant “Scooby Doo”-esque sandwich

Scooby Doo and Shaggy were, as far as I can tell, the first and biggest potheads ever captured in animation. So what better way to celebrate 4/20 than embrace their ways? Grab twenty slices of bread, your favorite cold cuts and condiments, get high enough that you can pretend your dog can talk, and eat away. Even if the sandwich sucks, at least you’ll have an awesome homemade version of Jenga to play.

18 Buy your pot from the shadiest spot imaginable

Yes, when most traditional media outlets cover marijuana in a positive light, they act like the only way people smoke pot is from purchases in legal medicinal places with a license. Fun fact: Most states don’t allow that. So live on the edge and eschew your friendly neighborhood pot dealer. The weed may be heinous and smell like a bonsai tree, but at least you could feel like you were living in “The Wire” for just one hour.

17 Hit up a Bob Marley cover band show

The patron saint of pot may have passed away a long time ago but his music lives on through not only his albums, but countless cover bands across the nation. In Southern Cali? Try to find the One Drop Redemption. In Dallas? Maybe the Island Boogie Steel Drum Band will move you. It’s the closest you can get to the real thing without a time machine or a lot of planning repeated watchings of “Weekend at Bernie’s”.

16 Watch five classic stoner movies in one sitting

There’s nothing better after a nice hit than lounging around and zoning out on something entertaining. So why not use this time to pick out five of the best stoner movies you haven’t seen (or have seen and adored) and hit them all in one night? At a certain point, it even becomes a challenge within a challenge. Sure, watching “Still Smokin’” seemed like a good idea at 8PM, but when you’re four movies and three bowls in and fighting to stay conscious, it becomes the ultimate test of will. “E.T. The Extra Testicle” loses its charms a bit.

15 Paint or draw a picture while high

This seems like some “Oh, I’m an artist…let me CREATE” type of thing, I know. But who hasn’t loved painting or even fingerpainting at some point in their lives? The point of this exercise is to do awesome things you wouldn’t normally do sober. So screw it, go get some crafts, get baked, and embrace your inner Picasso. Your horse looks more like a giraffe but hey, you made that bizarro horse-giraffe monstrosity. Cherish it.

14 Eat a pot brownie or, for the advanced, a fancy pot dessert treat

Again, another basic one. But if you haven’t done this one and you fancy yourself a smoker, you probably need to cross this one off your list early. Make sure to find a quality recipe though: it’s a thin line between “Awesome, I’m really high and eating a delicious brownie” and “Oh God, I think I can see the future and this brownie tastes like sugary dirt.”

13 Smoke within 100 feet of a police station

Reckless? Perhaps. But if you’re one of those politically active “the government needs to stop overregulating our bodies” types of smokers, what more ballsy-yet-passive-aggressive way is there to thumb your nose at the man and his laws? The judge will definitely account for your awesomeness during your trial.

12 Stare at a midget

Okay, this one sounds kind of cruel. And perhaps it is. But you know that classic clip from “The Simpsons” where Otto is so stoned off his ass that he talks about his fingers and their “finging”? That’s sort of what staring at a midget is like. Mentally, you know the little person is just one of the universe’s quirks. But you smoke enough and this becomes a whole metaphysical discussion you haven’t even scratch the surface on.

11 Break out the Gravity Bong

Everyone’s favorite absurd way to smoke up in college needs to be tried at least once. Some say it’s the most potent way to get high. Other say you just look like an a-hole. But either way, it’s an important part of pot culture. Here’s a helpful how-to guide to make your own Gravity Bong this 4/20.

10 Get high on a hot air balloon

Odds are that going into space while high isn’t something you’ll be able to approach in the next decade or two, so why not do the next best thing and get on a hot air balloon ride? Check out the majesty of the earth, say “Wow, everybody looks like ants from up here!” seven hundred and thirty times, and bring your big book of Jules Verne jokes that you’ve been saving up for just such an occasion.

9 Find someone new to smoke kiss

Let’s be real…whether you like pot or not, you have to admit that stoner girls tend to be the coolest girls around. So why not share in common interests you both will share with a smoke kiss? By making out after one of you takes a hit, not only do you get to make out with an attractive girl with a fun side, but you also get high. Putting lipstick on your vaporizer and tongue kissing it is a less recommended replacement.

8 Take someone’s pot virginity

Ah that first smoke. The moment when boys become men and men become…kind of lazy and occasionally paranoid. Even though the urban legend says you can’t get high your first time, there’s nothing better to entertain a long time smoker than to watch a newbie act like they don’t feel anything, only to find themselves passed out on the floor singing the “Facts of Life” theme.

7 Smoke with a relative, preferably an older one

If you’re one of those “cool kids” who grew up with parents in the house who gave them weed and said things like, “Hey, I’d rather you do it here under my supervision,” you can skip this one and punch yourself in the groin. For everyone else, this is one of those things that might seem awkward at first, but could be quite liberating. Plus, now you’ll know who’ll tell you funny stories about getting caught beating it to Farrah Fawcett while you’re celebrating Aunt Ronnie’s 77th birthday.

6 Have sex while high

If you’re enough of a pot smoker to be checking out this list, I’d have to assume you’d have already crashed through this barrier. But if you haven’t, now’s the time to do it. So grab that special guy or gal in your life and let your two bodies become one. Bonus bucket list points for involving extra people, objects, and farm animals.

5 Combine three “classic” stoner foods to form a Megazord snack

Lately, combining foods into new foods is all the rage (see: The Doritos Taco Loco). So why not put on your lab coat and goggles, pick up your favorite stoner foods, and see what you come up with. Want a hot dog covered in Funions and peanut butter? Who’s to say that combination won’t be awesome? Take the leap, put a bunch of stuff together like a buffet with your friends, and go nuts.

4 Get high at a transcendently beautiful location

Light up at Machu Picchu? Take a hit at the Grand Canyon? Hot box before entering the Sears Tower’s Glass Box (pictured left)? The only thing that could make these locations more mind-blowing than they already are is the welcome addition of weed. Just remember: Safety first. By which I mean always wear a condom while getting high and falling into the Grand Canyon. It’s just good manners.

3 See any of those big Vegas shows

Blue Man Group, Cirque du Soleil or even Criss Angel put on a hell of a show when you’re sober. But the vivid colors and outlandish presentation become an otherworldly event went you’re stoned off your ass. Get your ass on the next plane to Vegas (or whatever town near you has one of their touring companies), smoke up harder than you ever have, and see where the night takes you. And hopefully that’s not somewhere having sex with a flamboyant leprechaun with a French accent.

2 Go to an amusement park of your choice, Disneyland being tops

Anyone who’s been to Disneyland can tell you that the place really lives up to the hype of the “Happiest Place on Earth”. Nowhere else in America can you see people so overcome with joy and fun in one area. And what better way to appreciate that than by sparking up a big bowl before hitting the park? You probably haven’t lived until you’ve been stoned off your ass and sat on one of the talking benches in Cartoon Town without realizing it was going to yell at you. That’s what Roger Rabbit’s life was like every single day.

1 Make the pilgrimage to the mecca of pot, Amsterdam

The snobs out there will say that Amsterdam pot isn’t even the best in Europe or that the region is nothing more than a tourist trap. But fuck the snobs. There’s a reason Amsterdam has become this iconic place in pot culture, enough so that (for better or worse) it’s the first thing that would come to most people’s minds when they hear the city’s name. Get over there, bring your camera so you can remember everything that happens, and go crazy. Not crazy enough to end up in a real life version of “Hostel”, but crazy.

Best Stoner Theories for Why 4/20 Is the Day of Weed

By Victor Gonzalez
From: http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/

Pass the dutchie, bro

​Yesterday we learned that there's a lot more to 4/20 than just bong rips and bloodshot eyeballs. April 20 marks the anniversary of some pretty serious shit like Hitler's birth and the Columbine Massacre. It's also the day BP ruined the Gulf of Mexico and killed 11 workers in the process after the Deepwater Horizon Semi-Submersible Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit exploded, and released a shit-ton of crude oil into the ocean. It was a total 4/20 buzzkill.

So why is it that a seemingly haunted date is celebrated as pot's counterculture Christmas? Well, there's a bunch of different theories that only make sense when you're high. From pot-related penal codes to Jerry Garcia's favorite hotel room, 4/20's origins remain widely debated. Check out some of our favorite theories after the jump.

1. "We've got a 420 in progress, we're going to need back-up."

It's been rumored that 4/20 was the California penal code for marijuana possession, but sorry stoner, it's not. In fact, penal code 4-20 is about obstructing access to public land and "every person who unlawfully prevents, hinders, or obstructs...is guilty of a misdemeanor."

2. Drug Dealer Pager Code 420.

What came first, the stoner or the beeper? The stoner did, and so did the 420-pot connection that inevitably became a beeper code like 42, 143, 555. The 420-pot/beeper connection pretty much died when cell phones took over, and texting your drug dealer became all the rage. "Yo bro, got work?"

3. The Grateful Dead Insisted on Staying in Room 420.

Yes, the Grateful Dead might be the most overrated dad-rock jam band in the history of modern music, and the only reason pot's become so synonymous with the band isn't because the group members were a bunch stoners, but rather you must be high to listen to their music. The thought of the entire group sharing room 420 is ludicrous. What fourth floor room of any hotel you've ever been to could possibly accommodate Jerry Garcia's fat ass, and a bunch of other sweaty, smelly hippies? None.

4. It's Tea Time in Amsterdam.

Really? Everyone knows teatime in Holland is at 3 p.m. Actually, we're not sure if it is because last time we were in Amsterdam, we were so fucked up on mushrooms that we regrettably missed afternoon tea, and opted for a tour of the Van Gogh Museum.

5. 1970s San Rafael, California "High" School Kids Coin the Phrase

According to a High Times magazine article and in-depth research by Huffington Post, a group of stoner classmates who called themselves "The Waldos," coined the 420-term in 1971 when they heard a plot of weed plants near the Point Reyes Peninsula Coast Guard station had been left unattended. They'd meet outside of their San Rafael High School, and embark on a quest to find green each day, but came up short every time. But 420 stuck, and they found it to be a clever code word for pot smoking.

Forty years later, "four-twenty" is still part of the American lexicon.

What did we learn today? Nothing of serious value, just a bunch of useless trivia y'all can share with your frat bros tomorrow when you're posted up on the couch hitting that sweet, glass-on-glass Roor you spent last semester's tuition money on.

20 psychedelic strains of Star Wars-themed marijuana

From: http://blastr.com/

(image via lookingthemoon)

Despite Carrie Fisher's recent acknowledgment of cocaine on the set of The Empire Strikes Back, we're pretty sure that everyone on the right side of the Force would tell you to just say no to drugs. (With the exception of Han Solo, who'd probably tell you're to just say no to smuggling drugs on any ship other than the Millennium Falcon.)


However, if you were a medicinal marijuana patient in Southern California in 2010, then chances are your dreadlocked "budtender" sent you home with at least a gram of Skywalker OG. (We'd like to see Lucasfilm deal with THAT little nug of copyright infringement!)

In fact, throughout 2010, a slew of Star Wars-themed strains of cannabis were circulating throughout California, most of them ending with OG, a reference to the fact that they're crossed with Ocean-Grown Kush, a particularly potent strain of the famed Afghani marijuana.

As it turns out, Star Wars and cannabis have gone hand in hand for decades. Yeah, don't act like you're surprised. For your consumption—but only if you're a card-carrying patient—we present these 20 different varieties of marijuana named inspired by Star Wars.

1. Starwarz

A long time ago, in a Dutch city far, far away ...

Bud fact: "Starwarz" is what Gerrit, founder of Holland-based Magus Genetics, named his cross between the Sensi Star and Warlock strains (Star-War, get it?).

2. Skywalker

Bud fact: The Dutch Passion Seed Company (the same Amsterdam company responsible for the "Strawberry Cough" strain Michael Caine grew in Children of Men) crossed two of its award-winning strains to produce, Skywalker, which it hoped would be "one of the best indicas in the world."

3. Skywalker OG

Dude, where's my X-wing?

Bud fact: One of the more prevalent strains in California at the moment is Skywalker OG, which is Skywalker crossed with a OG Kush.

4. Purple Skywalker

"But I was going into Tosche Station to pick up some ... yeah, err ... power converters!"

"You can waste time with your friends when your chores are done."

Bud fact: Skywalker was also crossed with Purple Kush to create, you guessed it, Purple Skywalker.

5. Master OG Wan Kenobi

Help me, Obi Wan, you're my only toke.

Bud fact: This cross between Master Kush and Skywalker OG hybrid was sold as the "Special Reserve" bud at California Caregivers Alliance in 2010.

6. Yoda OG, 7. OG Master Yoda, 8. Yoda's Breath

Doobie or doobie not, there is no try.


Bud Fact: We've also heard of OG Master Yoda and Yoda's Breath, but, as near as we can tell, they're names for the same strain.

9. Jedi OG

Succumb to the power of the Dankside!

10. Han Solo OG

"What an incredible smell you've discovered!"

How's this for a scruffy-looking nerfherder: According to Strainreviews.net, Han Solo OG has "a little bit of a cat piss smell odor to it" and "tasted a bit like a burnt match."

11. Chewbacca

Pack it, Chewie!

Bud fact: According to the UrbanDictionary.com Chewbacca is "Very high strain of marijuana that some don't even consider to be part of the Cannabis family it's so potent." There seems to be little evidence that such a strain exists, though in 2006 one grower named his home-grown hybrid "Chewbacca" on account of how hairy the nugs are. A "Chewie" is also a joint laced with cocaine.

12. DarkSide (Granddaddy Purps)

Never underestimate the power of the THC.

13. Darth Vader

I find your lack of rolling papers disturbing.

14. Death Star

Credit: Kindreviews.com

It's as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced ... but in a good way.

Bud fact: According to Colorado Alternative Medicine, Death Star's "fragrant smell translates to its taste as well, and the hits are mind-numbingly dense."

15. Death Star Hash

It's unclear whether Death Star Hash is concentrated Death Star, or whether it's just the Emperor's second attempt after the ultimate party foul.

16. Jedi Death Star, 17. Jedi Storm Trooper

These aren't the buds you're looking for.

18. R2-D2, 19. C-3PO

Luke: This R2 unit has a bad motivator, look!

Uncle Owen: [to Jawa] Hey, what are you trying to push on us?

According to Nature's Medicine in Boulder, Colo., C-3PO is "was named after its intentions. If you enjoy thinking creatively and want to become an inter-galactic language expert—these buds are for you." R2-D2 is a hybrid found in Santa Ana, Calif.

20. Jawa

Reportedly bred in the mountains of Colorado, Jawa derives its name from its parents, a Jamaican Pine strain and a Maui Wowie.

Find a Sweet Stoner Housemate on 420 Room Search

By Ashley Harrell

Apparent dilemma: Where can San Franciscans find other pot smokers?

​Are you tired of being surrounded by clear-headed people? Do you resent the fact that only every other Craigslist roommate posting includes the phrase "420 friendly"?

Now there's a better place for all you reality-resistant folks to congregate! 420 Room Search will help you "find people you actually want to live with," the Web site explains. "Low key land lords and easy going roommates."

We found 420 Room Search advertised on its competition, Craigslist.org, in a Bernal Heights Housing ad entitled, "alternative roommates situations." Gotta say, it would be more alternative to find a place to live in San Francisco where nobody smoked weed.

Happy 4/20: 10 Great Stoner Songs

420: Wiki page

Legend has it that the 4:20 phenomenon began with a group of California teens in the early ’70s, who would gather together at 20 past 4 in the afternoon to avail themselves of one of Mother Nature’s wonders. Ever since then, the word has spread and the, er, grass-roots 4:20 subculture has grown bigger and bigger. Today 4/20 is the day 4:20 is saluted not only across the country, but around the globe. So whether you’re marking the day in a herbaceous way or you’re simply in sympathy with the spirit of the whole thing, here are 10 essential stoner songs to make your April 20th a smokin’ one.

“Willin’” – Little Feat

Linda Ronstadt’s cover version made this trucker tune about “weed, whites, and wine” famous, but it’s Little Feat’s good ‘n’ greasy delivery that puts “Willin’” straight across the plate.

“One Toke Over The Line” – Brewer & Shipley

An early example of The Man stomping on stoners’ good times, folk-rock duo Brewer & Shipley’s 1970 tune was a Top 10 hit that might have gone all the way to Number One if it hadn’t been stalled by the FCC, who decided to ban it due to lyrical content.

“Ganja Smuggling” – Eek-A-Mouse

A toker tally without reggae would like a PB&J sandwich without bread, so here comes Eek-A-Mouse to give you a little background on how the magic herbs are disseminated. Even if some of the meaning gets lost in Mouse’s thick patois, you still know just where he’s coming from.

“Along Comes Mary” – The Association

In late-’60s California, everybody was a stoner — not just the hairy hippie types, but even clean-cut, super-smooth harmony-vocal groups like The Association, whose ode to their favorite gal had the whiff of something more than puppy love.

“Tell Me About Your Drugs” – Robyn Hitchcock

Odd are that a guy who modeled himself after Syd Barrett, John Lennon, and Bob Dylan knows a bit about altered states of consciousness. And by the song’s end, when he starts rhapsodizing about “human sheep…with their curly little whirly tails,” it seems likely there’s more than just a conversation about altered consciousness going on.

“Purple Haze” – Jimi Hendrix

Pretty much the stoners’ National Anthem, “Purple Haze” is the ultimate evocation of that “not necessarily stoned, but beautiful” feeling (Yes, we know that lyric is from another song). Has there ever been a better motto for lighting up than “’scuse me while I kiss the sky?”

“Hits From the Bong” – Cypress Hill

You didn’t really think we’d leave Cypress Hill out, did you? Their faces should be emblazoned on the stoner Mt. Rushmore, right next to Dre and Snoop (okay, so we didn’t have room for everyone). Just listening to the vocal delivery on this track is enough to make you feel like you’ve spent the last two weeks in a college dorm with a poster on the wall that says “Get it on, bang a bong,” while the sweet smell of cannabis emanates from everything in the room.

“Rainy Day Women #12 & 35″ – Bob Dylan

It’s hard to imagine how Brewer & Shipley got shut down by the FCC for “One Toke Over the Line,” but four years earlier, this song — complete with drunken brass band and “everybody must get stoned” refrain — sailed up to the No. 2 spot on the charts unmolested by the powers that be.

“Because I Got High” – Afroman

One of the greatest one-hit wonders of the 21st century, Joseph “Afroman” Foreman provided the theme song for Kevin Smith’s Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back with this tongue-in-cheek cautionary tale about the hazards of a weed addiction. Don’t think for a second that he or anyone involved with the film took the warning to heart, though.

“Sweet Leaf” – Black Sabbath

An actual love song to the pot leaf itself, this 1971 Black Sabbath classic starts off with the sound of Sab guitar god Tony Iommi’s hacking cough, which we assume was caused by something other than an excess of smog in the air that day.

What Is This Magazine Cover with Snoop Dogg Trying to Tell Us?

By Nick Lucchesi,

The following weekend magazine cover is awesomely subtle. Snoop is scheduled to play the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York, this Saturday, and it's clear that this particular publication has an ingenious art director.

Look how they cleverly placed Snoop's head just in front of the "ken" on weekend. What's it look like to you? Hmm...

Since this is magazine cover is from the Rochester, New York area, it could be the weekend magazine for the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle; we're not sure. If you know, post it in the comments so we can hang out with/high-five the art director for this magazine.

Blaze of glory: Marijuana's greatest moments in sports

By DAVE CAREY
From: http://www.covers.com/

Sports are littered with shrines to the greatest players of all-time: The Pro Football Hall of Fame, the Hockey Hall of Fame and the Baseball Hall of Fame. But as players evolve and change, it’s important these institutions change with them.

That’s why Covers.com is proud to present the inaugural class into the Pot Head Hall of Fame.

This group of five tokers was selected by a committee and will get their busts blazed into our imaginary venue on April 20, 2010 in – where else – Miami, Fla.

So without further ado, let’s look at those legendary athletes who braved police, drug tests, public scrutiny and the munchies to make our first class.

Ricky Williams, Miami Dolphins – The dreadlocks are more than a fashion statement

Seriously, were you expecting Peyton Manning?

It’s hard to look anywhere else but at the former Texas standout when trying to find the finest aficionados of the sticky icky. But Hell, if your real name was Errick Lynne Williams, Jr., and you enjoyed giving interviews with your helmet on you probably would have hit the cheeba, too.

During his roller-coaster career, he failed three drug tests and squeezed in a semester at the California College of Ayurveda studying ancient Indian holistic medicine. And I’m sure a steady diet of hippie lettuce during his stint at a Buddhist temple in Asia kept him in about the same game shape as his time packing bowls in the CFL.

Some people still might not be sold on Williams being No. 1 on our list, but the same guy who used to have his entire name on his jersey in New Orleans also was caught on film doing something only a stoner can truly appreciate. There is footage of him eating at an IHOP – and seriously, who does that if they aren’t high?

Michael Phelps, Swimmer – Known more for his bong toke than his breast stroke

I know, I know, too easy. But how fast can someone go from being known for holding gold medals to being known for holding a bong?

And it wasn’t even a water bong. It makes you wonder if the guy’s legendary 12,000 calorie-a-day diet wasn’t made up mostly of ding-dongs and Funyuns. I doubt if he can even remember which stripper he is dating this week.

However, after visiting Mr. Phelps favorite gentlemen’s club for “journalistic purposes” I can assure readers of two things: First, the man has good taste. And second, the girls there swear he is a crappy tipper. But again, this coming from a writer who was thanked by one of the strippers for helping her afford a plane ticket to California at the end of the night.

Regardless, a legendary lung capacity served Phelps well during his victory rip and don’t expect him to let those air balloons go to waste any time in the near future. He still has two more years to go before London. They say his training is under way, but after looking at his infamous snapshot, I think he needs to start actually mixing the pool and some water into his regimen.

Nate Newton, Dallas Cowboys – Momma’s don’t let your babies grow up to be Cowboys

Here’s one guy who wasn’t afraid to push mad weight. The former Super Bowl winner made white panel vans more popular than child molesters when he got busted with 213 pounds of pot, just a few years after retiring.

To put that in perspective, the Center for Disease Control says the average American man weighs just 191 pounds. But not to be outdone, Newton was busted again five weeks later with another 175 pounds of the sweet herb.

That’s nearly 400 pounds of Mary Jane – or roughly what Willy Nelson used to smoke in three days. Other things in the world that weigh 400 pounds: a Welsh pony, an average male lion and a 500cc motorcycle. For the record, this is what around 400 pounds of pot looks like.

Ross Rebagliati, Snowboarder - Canadian snowboarder is to weed what Tina Turner is to legs

Admit it, you forgot all about this fan of the ganja. The Canadian made headlines around the world when he tested positive for marijuana after he won a gold medal in 1998.

Besides spending his time WAY north of the border, Rebagliati has gotten political recently, announcing this fall he wanted to seek a nomination from the Liberal Party. One of the biggest pieces of their platform? You guessed it, legalize dope.

But considering this guy also successfully won a defamation suit against a Canadian TV station for creating a soap opera character too closely based on him, don’t put anything past this grass master.

In the epic YouTube interview below, Rebagliati discusses having a total lack of motivation and not being good with things like money. Shocker. The best part? He used to live in a cabin down by the lake. Is that like a van down by the river Chris Farley talked about in his famous Saturday Night Live sketch?

Corie Blount, NBA journeyman – Blount is dangerously close to blunt

With all the great performances by NBA players through the years and their undeniable love of the chronic, it makes you wonder how Blount is the only NBA player that shows up on our list.

The former Bull, Cavalier, Sixer, Laker, Warrior, Sun and Raptor rolled to more than 2,000 points and 2,000 rebounds in his career, but his greatest hustle came off the court in 2008.

He was busted with 29 pounds of pot – throw in three illegal firearms to sweeten the deal – and played just as bad defense in court as on the court, telling the judge that all that Yukon Gold was for just him and a friend.

The judge’s response? "Cheech and Chong would have had a hard time smoking that much."

Let’s just let Jim Rome take care of this one.

Stewie Griffin promotes drug use for the US government, says Venezuela

It's a cause for controversy at home and has picked up a gamut of awards in the process, but now the popular cartoon show "Family Guy" has found itself caught in the middle of a spat between Venezuela and the United States about drug trafficking.

Venezuelan state TV today broadcast an excerpt from "Family Guy" as an example of how the U.S. promotes drug use. The clip features Stewie, the matricide-obsessed infant son of Peter and Lewis Lois Griffin, singing a song extolling the virtues of smoking weed.

"We can observe how [the U.S. government] promotes and incites the population to consume that drug there," said Tarek El Aissaimi, Venezuela's Interior Minister. "There's no subliminal message. It's an animated cartoon where you can observe perfectly how they promote consumption and moreover they foster the legalization of marijuana."

El Assaimi blames U.S. drug consumption for fueling drug trafficking in Latin America.

Venezuela took offense to a U.S. Congress report that concluded that Venezuela is undermining U.S. efforts to combat the drug trade in neighboring Colombia. Since then, El Aissaimi has been on a media blitz to prove how much effort the country is making to stamp out drug trafficking.
