Highly Effective Habits of Stoners
Many things can said about Mary Jane (Marijuana) in the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly sort of way, but society only focuses on the bad and doesn't see the highly effective habits of stoners. Indeed, the stoner culture has bad stigma attached to it, and this has not done much to help our Mary Jane see her legalization anytime soon. All society sees in stoners are people with a substance abuse problem that is building up (thanks to the prevailing myth that it is gateway drug). But what of the other types of stoners that utilize this wonderful plant as tool to enhance their daily lives? As with everything, there are rules which serve not to bring you down, but to get you even higher while enjoying the experience. Below we will look at some of the highly effective habits of stoners.

How to Break the Stoner Stereotype
So, what is ‘the stoner stereotype’ exactly? Lazy, lethargic, always late, has uncontrollable munchies, can’t be relied on and so forth. You get it, Harold and Kumar types. The issue is that many important people in your life who you might not want to think of you as a stoner (such as business owners, investors, potential partners, clientele or even your parents) might judge you according to these labels. You don’t want that, trust me! I’m not saying all of them think badly about weed or weed smokers, but for those who do, we need to help change their perceptions. Steve Jobs, Carl Sagan, Bill Gates, Michael Phelps, the list goes on, are all recognized as successful individuals who use/d marijuana recreationally without any 'real' problems – apart from a few run-ins with the law. The stigma attached to pot smoking needs to change, and that’s why I’m here. I’m here to tell you exactly why that stigma is, well, just a stigma and nothing more than that. Hopefully after reading this, it will help you break the stoner stereotype and not just be smart about it, but act it too!

How Cannabis Inspired Jazz Musicians
Louis Armstrong was a much more courageous man than the young firebrands of a later generation gave him credit for. As for "putting it down," there a certain doubt creeps in. I suspect that until the end of his life, when everything was "cool," Louis didn't refuse a joint, but as he says he was "way up there in age" and not prepared to make an open stand, attend smoke-ins, or light up on the stand. He didn't however deny "the beauty and warmth" of how cannabis inspired jazz musicians. He never denounced "Mary Warner."

Most Common Myths About Cannabis
As the most widely known molecule found in cannabis, THC has been a thing of myths for a long time. Scrutinized as far back as Chinese emperors, many of the myths believed for centuries were simply due to a lack of factual knowledge. As the legalization movement begins to accelerate, the global community of information expanded, and common myths about cannabis started to get debunked. Plus there was the invention of the internet, so, that helped quite a bit too. Fortunately, with time comes knowledge and with knowledge comes...well... truth. So let's get started and start busting these common myths about cannabis.

Why People Think Stoners Are Lazy
