Method Man Wants To Break Away From Weedhead Image

The Urban Daily — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 16:02:27 +0000

Method Man says he wants to put his weedhead image behind him. Meth cites his children as a reason for leaving his stoner image in the past.

“When you get older and you got kids going to school and you know teachers and things of that nature and they see how active you are and concerned with your children’s education and well being,” Method Man says, “it’s hard to sit there and to be taken seriously if people are always talking about ‘He’s always high,” or “He’s always on weed” and stuff like that which is totally not the case.”

“I feel like when I first came out, we were young and we were doing our thing, we smoked a lot and didn’t care if the world knew. Now, I have to use more discretion because of my kids. This is not for me. Everything I do is for them now, so I use a bit more discretion and I don’t put weed at the forefront anymore.”

Its 4/20, Do You Know What Is In Your Blunt?

jazzyf — Thu, 21 Apr 2011 00:19:11 +0000

Happy 4/20 to all the smokers. Today is a serious holiday to those that smoke weed so I decided to take a survey. I took to my Twitter and Facebook page to see what type of weed is most popular and got all sorts of replies. While trying to see what is the most popular type of weed now days, the topic of people not knowing exactly what they are smoking came up. I decided to throw some knowledge out there about the names and what is actually in your bag of weed. People refer to marijuana with many different terms but some of those terms are used depending on what the weed is laced with. Every place has their own slang so the terms also vary on geographic region.

I recently learned there is a type of marijuana named “Jim Jones” that is laced with cocaine and PCP. You also have something called “Juice Joint” which is weed laced with crack and if someone ask you to smoke “Purple Rain,” don’t do it! Its laced with embalming fluid and PCP. Just a few examples of types of weed you could be smoking and not know what is in it. You can heck out the full “Marijuana Slang Dictionary” list for yourself. Back to the type of weed everyone is smoking. What seems to be the most popular right now is Kush. Check out the top 100 most popular types of weed. I notice Kush is mentioned by several rappers. Are people smoking what they hear their favorite rapper speak about without knowing what is actually in the weed? You just can not go around smoking different types of weed just because you heard your favorite rap artist talking about it. You may not like a little bit of crack in your blunt but I guess some people do. Check out TypesOf Weed.net and a few of the photos below.

With all of the reefer madness in the air on 4/20 we found this clip of R&B singer Lloyd reminiscing about his favorite strains of wacky tobacco. He also runs down some of his other vices like spending money on sneakers, sex and cheesecake.

Snoop Dogg‘s latest album, Doggumentary, contains his second collaboration with music legend, and fellow weed aficionado, Willie Nelson. “Superman” is a fun little ditty that isn’t totally about weed smoking.

Though you can tell that the two engaged in a lot of weed smoking in their time together…

The Best Anti-Drug PSA’s Ever [VIDEO]

The Urban Daily — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 15:04:16 +0000

Growing up in the 80s, we were fully aware of the government’s “war on drugs.” Programs like D.A.R.E. and First Lady Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign were staples of our everyday life. But none of the anti-drug propaganda spread around in the 80s was as effective (or entertaining, depending on your perspective) than the anti-drug public service announcements that frequently popped up on television.

Kid Cudi: “I Don’t Smoke Weed Anymore”

We’ve collected here a few of our favorite PSAs that aimed to keep us all off of drugs.

I Learned It From Watching You!
This legendary PSA was probably one of two that immediately popped in your head when you clicked into this post. A teenaged kid is chillin’ in his room when his dad comes in after finding his son’s weed stash. After inquiring where he got the drugs from and who taught him how to use the stuff, the kid reveals that he learned it from watching his accuser. What they didn’t show you in this commercial is that father and son later enjoyed a nicely rolled spliff to calm their nerves down before discussing punishment.

This Is Your Brain On Drugs…
This short PSA was probably the other one you thought of when clicking this post. A man drops an egg into a sizzling frying pan and says that the egg represents your brain on drugs. So apparently drugs are high in cholesterol and rather tasty with a little bit of hot sauce. We’ll keep that in mind.

This Is Your Brain On Drugs… The Sequel
Actress Rachel Leigh Wood starred in this spot which continues where the last one left off. It was a rather impactful ad, and by impactful we mean the impact of a frying pan against various kitchen objects.

Pee Wee Herman Speaks Out Against Crack
There is no PSA more bizarre than this overly dramatic spot featuring Pee Wee Herman. We think nothing better exemplifies what the 80s were about than Pee Wee Herman holding a vial of crack cocaine.

Is That A Blunt In OchoCinco’s Ashtray? [PICS]

When I Grow Up…
When we were young, we had dreams of our cushy jobs and big houses and nice cars that were waiting for us when we grew up. Instead we were greeted by a couple of wars, a crumbling economy with matching job market, and reality television. This PSA should’ve warned us in advance that things are gonna suck, not just for the drug addicts, but for everyone when we all grow up.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Think Drug Dealers Are Dorks
Pee Wee Herman wasn’t the only celeb asked to do a PSA in the 80s and 90s. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got in on the action too. However, looking back, a bunch of talking turtles who love eating pizza and are guided by a talking rat make us wonder just who exactly needed the anti-drug message more. Cowabunga!

I’m Melting!!!!
This recent PSA can best be summed up by a comment left on the video’s YouTube page: “Shes boring? You’re boring for having nothing better to do than sit around and watch her melt.”

Snake, The Drug Dealer
The only thing this PSA taught us was to not buy drugs off of anyone that morphed into a snake before our very eyes.

Whoopi Goldberg Reveals Past Battle With Drug Addiction

A Father’s Regret
In this PSA, a father stands at his 13-year-old son’s grave crying because he hadn’t thought to talk to him about the dangers of drugs. Is this an anti-drug PSA or a bad parenting PSA?

Brain Activity
In this PSA, a machine reads the brain activity of both a normal 14-year old and that of a 14-year-old pot smoker. The non-smoker’s brain functions at a rapid pace, while the smoker’s brain moves slowly. We just hope they didn’t actually give a 14-year-old a joint just for the sake of this commercial.

HONORABLE MENTION:

Marijuana Kills!

This fake PSA comes from the stoner comedy Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle. It’s a hilarious spoof on the golden age of anti-drug PSAs. We dare you not to laugh at the intentionally bad acting!

Kid Cudi Explains Why He Quit Smoking Weed [VIDEO]

The Urban Daily — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:13:54 +0000

Kid Cudi may have been known as the Lonely Stoner in recent years, but his recent announcement that he’d given up smoking weed caught many of his fans off guard. At a recent concert, Cudi revealed his reasons for breaking up with Mary Jane.

“You know how some people can take a smoke and they’re good, they do it for recreational purposes, sh*t like that. I was the motherf*cker who was doing that sh*t all the time, recreationally, every day, wake up, needed it, all those things,” Cudi said on stage. “While I was in that state of mind I just was missing a lot of shit that was going on in my circle. I just felt like I needed to just take a step back, clear my dome and focus on some real imporant shit. Like my daughter for one, my family, my business, things that are important. But you know, don’t be sad, I had a good run right?”

REWIND: Celebs Who Probably Celebrate 4/20 Everyday [PHOTOS]

Shamika Sanders — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:50:56 +0000

Due to 4/20, we at The Urban Daily decided to put together a gallery of celebrities who love to smoke marijuana and probably celebrate this controversial holiday every day of their lives.

4/20 was started back in the 70′s by some kids who would meet at 4:20 pm by the Louis Pasteur statue outside their school and search around for the cannabis plants that grew wildly over there. After finding some cannabis they used it to “blaze it up.” Somehow it evolved into a national celebration for cannabis lovers. From what I hear when people used to go to Central Park, they(I don’t know who “they” are) would drop marijuana from the sky (funny right).

Other names for marijuana: piff, kush, weed, chronic, haze, drough, sour diese, etc.

Montel Williams Arrested In Airport For Possession Of Pot Pipe

The Urban Daily — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:00:51 +0000

Former talk show host and medical marijuana activist (and prescription holder), Montel Williams was arrested at General Mitchell International Airport in Milwaukee for possession of a pipe commonly used to smoke marijuana.

The Milwaukee Sheriff’s office says that the pipe was found on Tuesday by TSA agents at a security checkpoint. Williams paid a $484 fine and was allowed to continue his travel plans.

Williams, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1999, says he uses marijuana to ease chronic pain. He became an activist for medical marijuana laws after being stopped at a Detroit airport for the same charge.
