20 Best Hip-Hop Joints to Smoke To
Growing up in the great State of Texas, immersed in the culture of the Third Coast, I’ve smoked bud of all types and by every method. Everyone has a favorite song that comes to mind when drinking or partying it up in a bar or club, but the songs in this list remind us of Mother Mary and how entrenched urban American society is when it comes to the subject of cannabis. Since you can’t toke up in any American bars that I know of, roll up a fattie, pack your bowl, or cook you some brownies and find the most comfortable seat in your house and lend me your ear.

He Has Ridden -- Celebrating Bicycle Day 66
Today is the 66th Bicycle Day, April 19, 2009 so I thought it would be appropriate to excerpt from article I wrote 16 years ago about this annual event celebrated by "psychelicists."
