marijuana

As our 4/20 programming comes to an end, we'd like to share some funny (and unfortunate) tales of the weird and dumb crap people do when they're high. It's true that many of us would like to think we're resistant to stoned stupidity, I'm sure a lot of our smokers have at least one specific story that makes them cringe a little. These examples range from understandably daft (losing one's phone in a back pocket) to incredibly disgusting (drinking piss). And we're willing to bet they'll be funnier while high. 

Ever notice your mood or vibe change through the progression of one joint? You could start off thinking about what you're gonna cook for dinner and end up rapidly spewing random disconnected facts about Project MKUltra to your unassuming roommate. Well, now there's a meme for this exact experience. 4/20 is right around the corner and so we're featuring a funny new format that stoners and casual dabblers alike have been using to describe the stages of smoking a joint. We love this format because the meme can vary drastically depending on the personal experience of the memer. Each spin on the meme tells a funny little story about different kids of tokers—one person might get paranoid or political the more the joint progresses, while someone else might be vibing in the first quarter and running home by the end of the joint. We've included our favorite examples of the dank trending format and a few non weed-related memes inspired by the original for good measure. 

"When neighbors start talking, good things happen." That's what Nextdoor's CEO Nirav Tolia likes to say about his social networking site. And he's not wrong. While the site's intended to connect neighbors to one another, it's often less of a useful community tool than it is a place for petty complaints and expert trolling. And the Twitter account @bestsofnextdoor keeps incredible track of the funniest posts from shit-starting neighbors. We've put together some of their latest (and greatest) uploads in this gallery, but if you like what you see, please give 'em a follow on Twitter. You'll be glad you did. 

A lot of potheads out there had high hopes for legalization in 2020 and the recent election delivered. Now, only fifteen states still outlaw marijuana (the straight edge states), but it's only a matter of time until those stinky trees spread all across the nation. Until then, let's enjoy some dank stoner memes and a giant plate of nachos. 

Oh no, what's that? A weary internet traveler bored of the same old social media tedium? This looks like a job for Memebase. We've got just the thing to start off the dull day with a hilarious bang: MEMES!

It's only a matter of time before marijuana is legalized all over the United States (we've got 40 states to go) and the practice of smoking or consuming jazz cabbage is rapidly becoming normalized. This is especially apparent on the internet - the proof is in these memes that are directed at the THC fiends - for everything else, there's CBD.

It seems like CBD is EVERYWHERE these days. If you're unfamiliar, CBD is a compound found in marijuana that does not contain psychoactive properties. In other words, you can't get high from it. Enthusiasts will boast its myriad of benefits, but if we're being honest, we think the claims might be getting a little out of hand.

To top it all off, over the weekend Kim Kardashian threw a CBD, meditation and sound bath (whatever the hell that means)-themed baby shower for the birth of her fourth child, whom she and Kanye are expecting via surrogate in just a few weeks. You can watch a cringey video clip from that below.

Of course, these memes and tweets are all in good fun, and if you've had positive experiences with CBD, we'd love to know!

Happy holidays to all you stoners out there! Let's be honest, April 20th (more affectionately known as 420) probably isn't that much different from any other day for you, but you still gotta celebrate nonetheless.

For legal reasons, we have to remind you to enjoy the dro responsibly and that drugs are bad. And if that doesn't motivate you, just remember that tomorrow is Easter Sunday, so God is watching. He's always watching.

There are about a zillion wonderful benefits to legalizing marijuana: taxes that go to education, job creation, and thinning out our overcrowded prisons. Then there's the fun stuff. Twitter user @icexqueen asked her followers to share some hilariously high anecdotes and the thread made us laugh very hard for a Monday. We can only hope that as greens become more accessible we get more of these tear-inducing stories.
