420 TWITTER FEED

Straight Dope On High Holiday From Twitter Feed.

Any marketer will explain Twitter as a bet on the odds.

With so many Twitter members you’ll find an audience waiting.

What if you’re not selling anything, just joining and creating a twitter feed to be a part of it all?

Baby boomers might join to stay current, if a twitter feed counts as currency.

Any and all are welcome as long as you live in a country that doesn’t prohibit twitter.

With April, 20 promoted as National Weed Day, or something cleverly related, does a twitter feed eat it up?

The short answer is yes. For example:

Slate.com responds to 4/20 with a photo spread of weed.

Not bikini models and weed. Not exotic cars and weed. Just pictures of weed, close up shots worthy of a High Times cover.

With a headline titled, “You Don’t Have to Be High to Think These Photos of Marijuana Buds Are Far Out,” what else would you expect?

The truth is a marijuana bud, a premium product, looks like shrubbery attacked by spiders weaving their web all over it.

Talk about a sticky mess.

Is this what 420 means? Pictures of naked weed? Or is it more?

Longreads.com counters with nostalgia and a story called, ‘The Most Stoned Kids on the Most Stoned Campus on Earth,’ from a 2004 story in Rolling Stone.

What was 420 like ten years ago?

Who wants to know? Kids? Great. Now they can read some weed history.

With so many states legalizing weed, and a twitter feed going full blast, today will look different another decade down the line.

No one will remember the weed seed laws that turned you into a felon. Time is funny like that. So is weed. Let the good times roll…far away from the bad.

The hilarious title combines stoned kids and college. Wouldn’t the most stoned kids be too stoned for school? Think of the last weed warning you heard.

“You older people have no idea how strong pot is today. This is modern growing, not just throwing seeds in a ditch and hoping for the best. It’s not your Grandpa’s oregano.”

NYtimes.com harshes the buzz on 420 by reminding us of the consequences of smoking weed in ‘Marijuana and the Body.’

The New York Times story includes mention of studies that yielded “complex and often conflicting results.” The Times won’t be going out on a stem for marijuana.

Smoking weed may cause cancer, or not, but probably will in those who smoke weed and tobacco.

Smoking weed may lead to his prostate cancer risks.

If you do get cancer from smoking weed, at least the weed will increase your appetite during treatment.

So there’s that bonus.

The Washington Post goes with Slate, publishing a photo shoot. Instead of weed, WaPo shows a history of weed in ‘Marijuana in the District: A look back.’

Tell me I’m not laughing alone at history of weed posts. Isn’t this powerful drug supposed to knock your short term memory out?

Perhaps our news sources and twitter feed work together to reverse the damage?

Leave a comment if it’s working for you.

If not, try and enjoy The Oregonian/oregonlive.com page on pot news.

Burn and learn on 420 Oregon, then get to the real work.

Try and relax. You feel stressed, but don’t know why? You’re overwhelmed so you tried some pot and got anxious, or paranoid, or maybe got the jumps?

Relaxation is different for everyone. Greatest.com gives us ‘40 Ways to Relax in 5 Minutes or Less.’

It’s not a race. You don’t have to do all forty in five minutes.

There may be a few ideas you don’t want to do after the bong-work, like #6 munch a crunchy snack. If you’re alone, who’s going to remind you to stop munching?

#9 is remember to breath. Not that easy for max-stoner. They forget things.

Speaking of forgetting, #24 is get organized. Don’t get organized if you’re loaded, unless you want to spend next month looking for everything you organized.

The last listing, #40, is plan a vacation.

Where would you like to be on 420? Amsterdam? Colorado? Oregon?

If you’re in Oregon now, stop planning. All done. Besides, if you are in Oregon, why go anywhere else?

Really, why? Twitter feed says you are where you belong.
