Life Hacks for Stoners

Hey stoners! Okay so I'm assuming we're all fans of cannabis, right? Or you guys wouldn't be reading along. I mean weed is great, but there are a few things I wish I would have known when I decided to introduce myself to my greens. Here are a few stoner hacks I've learned along the way.

First off, we should all be familiar with the common side effect of cottonmouth. For those who are new, it's what you call that crazy dry feeling in your mouth, most commonly experienced after smoking weed. It's annoying, and honestly there have been times I felt like I needed a whole gallon of ice cold water after I smoked, especially if I was smoking in the summer.

One of the hacks I've learned to help ease that cottonmouth, is to suck on a lollipop. I know your mouth feels like you've been without water for days but trust me, sucking on a lollipop gets those saliva glands going, at least until you can get yourself some water. It makes for a more comfortable high.

Another stoner hack I've used when my saliva was a little on the dry side, is using a little honey on the outside, to seal the blunt. Yes you heard right, honey can be used to seal your blunt, but very little of course, we don't want to ruin it. And to get the full experience, whatever finely grinded bud that is left over, roll the sticky blunt on it so the 'kief' sticks to it, so nothing goes to waste. Now you have a super blunt. Just make sure you leave space on the smoking end so you can hold it without getting sticky, no one wants sticky fingers. The honey also slows down the burn, so you can enjoy that super blunt for longer, and it tastes sweeter. You're welcome.

Now this stoner hack is for those who want to be more discreet when smoking. It involves dryer sheets of your choice and an empty plastic bottle. When it's time to exhale your smoke, blow your smoke into the dryer sheets in the empty bottle, and bam! instant filter.

With this hack, it can help clear the resin off your bong. When you come across the issue of too much resin on the inside of your bong, this hacks for you. Add lemon juice into your bong to help with the build up of resin. The acidity of the lemon will break down whatever resin is there and actively clean the inside of the glass while you smoke. Sounds like a win, win to me.

This hack is for rehydrating your weed by using orange peels. No one wants to spend their hard earned money, only to see our weed dry out and lose its flavor. That's a whole nightmare. To avoid that nightmare, try adding some orange peels into the container that your weed is in. The orange peels will rehydrate it and stretch out its shelf life. Who wouldn't want that?

And lastly, I'm sure we've all experienced the usual after effects of smoking weed, red and dry eyes. You know what I'm talking about, those nights after you smoke, you have to put a half a bottle of visine in your eyes to avoid the sand in the eyes feeling and not look so obviously stoned? Yeah I've been there, I realized putting the visine in your eyes before you smoke prevents that from even happening.
