The man is smart, I will admit that, but let’s get real, nobody needs a smart genie, especially when he doesn’t grant any fucking wishes. Still. You should rub the lamp.
Wheel of Whitney turns a mesmerizing, digital mobile into a musical instrument with a lot of different scales and combinations.
You should, fellow stoners, click the “view this variation on a page by itself” link at the bottom of the animations. In so doing, you get rid of all the distracting choices and words— not to mention the reading that those words can’t help but encourage.
The Haunter
Perfect for: Geeking Out
To be Used: Never as a follower, always as a visitor.
The Haunter is an excellently curated collection of creepy imagery interspersed with enough pop culture/simpsons goodness for the average stoner not to turn away.
The images—arresting and startling—fill the entire screen, which makes the experience of scrolling through them totally immersive, and well-suited for a weary web-based weed trance.

The Museum of Me transforms your digital life into a virtual art installation.
Any good stoner knows that a little weed can make any artistic experience more focused, more interesting, and more creative. There’s nothing like settling into the rhythms of the THC coursing through your body to tap into that unconscious place of prolificity.
Enter 750 Words, an excellent website for accomplishing your daily writing pages. By vomiting 750 words on the page as quickly as possible, artists are able to cleanse their minds from all that block-inducing static.
Even if you don’t find yourself particularly artistic, the trance induced by both the pot and the process will make for an interesting time, especially if you’re getting high by yourself.
Also, David Lynch swears by it, and we all know what he’s capable of.

One time, I had the glorious pleasure of trying some Oregon medicinal marijuana. The nugs sparkled with THC. I mean, it looked like fucking Christmas— like you could just load up a few of them in a snow globe and have all the winter wonderland you’d ever need.
Enter Weed Porn Daily, a blog that houses a beautiful collection of macro marijuana photography (aka pot pics).
Thanks, Oscar :-)
The Wilderness Downtown is a sweet-ass interactive music video. You type in your childhood address and it integrates google street views into the short. Damn cool, if you ask me… and further fucking cool because it’s for the Arcade Fire.

Oh, good Lord has it been a nice day today.
For those of you who don’t know, Stoners is a quiet little operation run out of Portland, Oregon, which for those of you who don’t know is one of the coolest cities in America right now (I’ve never been to Austin, but heard it competes).
It seems like it’d be weird to be a tourist here, though. For one, no one comes to Portland. Yeah, people move to Portland, but those of you who want to move to Portland probably can’t afford to take a vacation. Portland is a place for people so poor, they have to fashion their own clothes in order to have any style. There’s also a refreshing culture of sustainability here— everyone rides a bike around town and damn near everyone has some patch of the city that they’ve taken over to grow vegetables and, quite often, the marijuana…
But. Like I said, these things can’t really be enjoyed by a tourist.
Today, however, I was both resident and tourist in the great cuidad de Portland. See, I’ve been subleasing in this kind of commercial area, which my landlord was happy to describe asAmerica’s first mall. In addition to having a mall, several fast food chains, etc, there is also a luxurious Double Tree Inn. They have a pool. And I’ve been sneaking in to enjoy August slowly slip out of my clutches.
God. It feels like vacation all over, the kind that my parents used to take me on and pay for everything. What is, of course, extra great about this whole thing is that I don’t have to worry about getting my weed confectioneries onto an airplane. All I need to do, is toke up in my apartment before walking over there.
Breaking into the hotel swimming pool is naturally thrilling. Those first few days I was doing it, I could almost here the Mission Impossible soundtrack playing out in my head. I have, however, become much less paranoid, so I merely walk in, stoned as all hell, take a seat and settle in for a lovely afternoon. In the Sun. Near a pool.
Good Jesus on Cracker, there is nothing more excellent.

Ah. Sitting. It’s one of my favorite things. Imagine tokin’ it on this thing. Fucking wild. :-)
Okay, these games are both ridiculously easy, free, and perfect for any setting where weed may be involved. What I like about them is how elastic they are. You can play them with an energetic crowd or a tiny group chillin’ on the back porch. Technically, you don’t even need pot to enjoy them. But I wouldn’t recommend it.
Okay, the first game, Circle Poetry.
Circle poetry is an excellent creative writing exercise. It’s short and easy and not distracting, so you can have one up and running while you play other games or hang out. Here’s what you do:
- Cut or tear a piece of paper into a long strip.
- Everyone sits in a circle and adds 4 words—one line per word—to the page.
- When you’re finished adding your four words, fold over the paper in such a way that the person after you can only see the last word you wrote.
- Rinse and repeat until you’ve filled the page with everyone’s 4 words.
- Read the poem aloud and see what you’ve got. With a little finessing, you should be able to read it both from top to bottom and bottom to top.
The second game is Picture Telephone, and it’s a variation of that game Telephone you would play when you were a kid (or last week when you stoned on the quad). Picture telephone’s way better and it goes like this:
- Every player takes a piece of paper and writes a sentence at the top, such as “It’s the end of the world.” Then every player passes the sheet to their left.
- The next person reads the sentence to themselves and draws a picture of the sentence below the sentence. Then that next person folds over the paper so only their drawing is visible and passes it to their left.
- The next receiving person examines the picture and writes a sentence describing it below the picture.
- Then that person folds over the paper so only their sentence is visible and passes it to their left.
- Continue until you get your own paper back.
Here’s an example if you aren’t following me. Do them both once. Trust me.
All clear now?

I am only just getting into to Tarot, but this so far has been an excellent deck to work with. It combines all the things you might expect from a tarot deck, but perfect for the beginner.
Osho is one of those Eastern philosopher guys who have totally taken off in the West. One thing I really like about his philosophy, is that it tends to be secular and holistic, instead of drilling down from the point of view of a particular religion. This comes across in his tarot deck as well. Instead of using overtly religious imagery, the illustrations are much more about tapping into the subconscious.
Here we have a nice, although distorted sample of what the cards look like. What’s nice about this deck, is that it labels the cards at the bottom things like “Trust” and “The Muse”. This is an awesome feature, because it’s not always easy to keep track of every single damn card in the deck.
It takes a long time to learn Tarot, but this is a nice, holistic, transcendental approach and there’s a lot to enjoy here when you’re sitting around getting high with friends.
