I don’t smoke weed, instead I watch internet programming about marijuana. You know those Yule log videos? It’s kinda like the moment where the non-homeless learned their thermostats then watched TVs with fireplace images. While I would like to believe that this is funny…

Weed internet is flouring because medical marijuana opened the door for weed investors who can overpower previous monopolies.

I read High Times’ website because you're either gonna learn about the changing weed laws or read well-written news stories that are often funny because weed is the subject. I don’t smoke weed. I’m trying to figure out how to ride this economic wave. I never sold weed because I didn’t want to open my home to potheads.

Most weed dealers work 120-hour work weeks at commission rates from their living spaces. Allowing complete strangers who just want drugs into my home doesn’t appeal to me.

I’ve decided to write articles about social weed culture from the vantage of someone who doesn’t smoke, but understands music writers exist in the new legal weed economy.

K.I.P. Tour De Force. While this Columbus band doesn’t sing about weed, they’ve never brought up hating weed whenever we were talking about something else. I haven’t visited their new homes, so I don’t know if they smoke weed. I can say they utilized me playing “USA will Start Another War” via a Wednesday WCRS radio show in their YouTube documentary.

I suggest “Social Scene” which encourages applied wisdom or “Clear Your Mind” while clearing a bong. Musically K.I.P. is compatible with Vacation. K.I.P. resembles the history of Ohio-art punk rock basics, naturally. Except the recording isn’t lo-fi. I’ve never tried to listen to it in automobile that has woofers. One can listen to K.I.P. while driving to the weed dispensary.

The lead vocalist definitely possesses the Ron House humor that a frontman who writes in ‘zines should, if he doesn’t want to bore you.

I feel like you could smoke weed to this band or watch other people smoke to their music.

The Midnight Hour is a jazz project of Ali Shaheed Mohammed and Adrian Younge.

At a glance, this is like the RZA and the Ummah picking up instruments. I know people smoke weed to Wu-Tang. The Wu performed at a High Times event last week. Adrian Younge worked with the Wu in the past so I’m sure weed was around.

The last Midnight Hour album was instrumental jazz. This “Harmony” song resembles the Adrian Younge/Jack Waterson project because there is singing which creates lyrics, chorus and different song structures.

“Harmony” is jazz music with a slight drum and bass bridge that doesn’t sound terrible. It reminded me of the Roots “You Got Me” song except the sped up rhythm is brief and not the climax.

I like this and “You Got Me” more than any DNB I’ve ever heard which sounds like something someone who was either high or forced to hang out with drug addicts would say.

While I wouldn’t listen to an entire album that sounds like this, I would say I’m not completely annoyed. If your friends smoke weed to the Roots and date a chick who used to rave, this would make you watch someone light a joint.

Krogers sells CBD oil. While I’ve talked to people who give CBD oil to their children, I haven’t tried it or looked into purchasing CBD oil. My conversation usually is: could I make coffee drinks with CBD oil as the first step towards Amsterdam coffee houses?

I usually ask this at bars, which maybe is the wrong setting? I haven’t bought CBD oil because I’m not into weed.

If your response is CBD oil doesn’t produce the weed feeling, I would have to take your word for it.

Doesn’t seem like it.

The Free Press’ editors have worked for marijuana legalization and championed the medicinal virtues. I would like to thank them for allowing me to experience this epiphany that Kroger sells weed oil.

Common’s new album Let Love is impressive because it’s stripped down jazz rap. The beats create a soundbed for one of the most accomplished rappers. I like the fact that Common’s music emphasizes the significant history of Selma, he is friends with Obama, and was friends with Maya Angelou. Common is part of beautiful jazz hip hop realm that doesn’t have to have any gimmicks to be financially viable.

Common is organically connected with the continuum of revered historic figures. This doesn’t have much to due with weed except perhaps the blessing of a jazz cigarette.
