STUFF STONERS LIKE

Stoner Quote #2.”[it] makes you forget all the bad things that happen to a Negro. It makes you feel wanted, and when you’re with another tea smoker, it makes you feel a special kinship.” – Louis Armstrong

One of the original jazz musicians, Louis Armstrong—the gravely voiced trumpet player who penned the famous songs “What a Wonderful World, “Hello Dolly and “Muggles” (another name for marijuana) smoked pot as a source of creative inspiration. He was eventually busted for smoking marijuana and spent nine days in the Los Angeles City Jail. As a result, he famously wrote a letter to then President Eisenhower calling for marijuana to be legalized. l

Stoner Quote #3.“The biggest killer on the planet is stress and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis.” – Willie Nelson

The country legend and tireless marijuana, Willie Nelson, advocate told Rolling Stone magazine that even he was surprised when marijuana was legalized in Colorado and Washington state, noting, “I didn’t think it would happen in my lifetime, but here it is. The future looks good.” Nelson, a member of NORML’s Advisory Board goes on to say, “There’s a lot of money in selling marijuana. If you can do it legally, that’s good. Why should all the criminals make the money?  if it’s going to be legal, let’s tax it and regulate it, like we do with everything else, and make some money off this. I think that’s one reason why people are taking this a little more seriously.”

This funny stoner quote is actually from an old Saturday Night Live episode back during season four featuring Steve Martin and Bill Murray. Although Martin wasn’t a SNL cast member, he was an honest stoner.

Another famous rastafarian, Peter Tosh not only taught the legendary Bob Marley how to play guitar, he also appeared on many of the Legend’s early hits. Rastas, including Tosh think that any term for marijuana other than HERB is heresy as derogatory names like “marijuana” are used by those in power to incriminate and discriminate against those who are not.  Sure, we’re talkin’ semantics here, but Rastas assert their original African languages were ripped from them when they were taken into captivity as part of the slave trade and that English is an imposed, abusive, colonial language. To get around this Rastas created a modified vocabulary and dialect known as “Iyaric.” to not only take back language but reject modern western society, often referred to as “Babylon”. Tosh has many weed quotes attributed to him, but the one above, along with “legalize it” are our favorites.

Stoner Quote #10. “People say you can abuse marijuana. Well shit, you can abuse cheeseburgers too, you know? You don‘t go around closing Burger King because you can abuse something.” – Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan is about as famous for standing up for marijuana as his is for being associated with the TV show Fear Factor and the UFC. And he likes to get stoned and work out. In an appropriate blog post titled “I like to smoke weed and workout” he wrote, “Getting high and working out is one of the least talked about and least appreciated pleasures of fitness. Lifting weights is fun when you’re under the spell, cardio is cool too, but for me, nothing compares to getting really high and hitting the heavy bag. 2 tokes of the good is usually all it takes to start the enchanted wave – 3 if I wanna go deep.”
