And here's how you get some!
And how wild is it that we live at the beginning of the end of prohibition? Marijuana is on pace to be completely legal in most western countries over the next decade or so. In the U.S. more states than not have legalized medical usage and a good handful, California included, have voted in full recreational as well.
Yet, if one read only surf media, it would appear that marijuana is still the Great No No. A closeted and frowned upon vice of low-lifes and miscreants. Ain’t that even more wild? Surfing used to have a well-established counterculture bond with weed that extended deep into the 1980s. Maybe it was the 1990s economic boom that saw surf brands become publicly traded. I am not economically inclined so have no real understanding.
But the surf media? What a bunch of lily-livers! The Inertia, for example, regularly beats the 1950s drum of marijuana being bad for you. Stab does the odd story about its medicinal qualities or the even odder story where a writer partakes and interviews Herb Fletcher but all very… odd.
But why? But what the hell?
The world is basically ending and if you want to toast the good times like Jeff Spicoli of old then we’re here to help and especially if you live in greater San Diego. Tomorrow (August 24th) head into PLPCC near the airport, buy one gram of Hot Nife and get a half gram free.
You read that right! Free weed! All you need to do is go inside, say you heard about this on BeachGrit and don’t like strange moralist tirades in your surf media and then boom. There you’ll be!
PLPCC is only the finest, friendliest marijuana dispensary in maybe the world and Hot Nife is a new cannabis oil brand that gets it. That understands that, sure, people consume weed in order to ease aches and pains and headaches etc. but they also consume to have fun and get high!
Just click the gorgeous colors in the margins and you’ll be delivered to where you want to be. Don’t forget to bring your medical marijuana card and your ID. In January it’ll be a free-ish for all but until then…
Bon appetit!
No doubt! Its the funniest thing to do! Lol
PLPCC charges disgustingly high prices thanks to the de facto oligopoly the San Diego city council created when they limited the number of licenses.
This sounds like the dude on the corners strategy of old. First hits free young Man!
Spicoli was an easy picture selection, where as Ian Cairns could have sparked a great blood feud. Spark up!
Shoulda been a Michelob ad presented by Joel Tudor
New rule…anyone who rides a SUP in the ocean needs a prescription.
Ha! Yesterday there was an ocean going SUP rider sitting in the dunes rolling his own smokes. (I thought he might have been getting high, but no, just tobacco). His style would be described as paddle 20m, fall off, catch a closeout to the beach, paddle back out on belly, repeat. The highlight was him wearing a 2015 SUP state titles tshirt.
If he can barely catch a wave now, how good must he have been 2 years ago?
The best advice I ever heard about marijuana was: “Always have something to do planned for once you’re stoned.” So you don’t just sit on the couch wondering whether it’s Tuesday. Sadly I then proceeded to ignore this advice. Entire Tuesdays passed unmolested. I dunno — weed seems pretty boring to me these days, like most drugs really.
I’m pro legalization, but I haven’t smoked weed since I turned 21. I don’t really feel that it would improve my life. I would rather spend that rare free time getting more waves.
Well said. I have smoked a truck load of the stuff, but one day, just lost interest in being fogged.
I’ll meet you at the Red Lobster down the street. If you have to wait longer than 5 hours for me I’ll probably just shine it.
Go ahead and shine it! I’ll be eating cheezy biscuits and getting hammered on Budweiser, you think this is my first time being stood up at the lob?
The real money is in trying to milk some of that sweet big pharma ad cash. Surely a Beachgrit x Vicodin or Beachgrit x Viagra colab would be a hit?
I could get down with that!
Does the advice to click wildly make you a drug pusher, Chas? I never said dealer… We’ll leave that to the captains of our industry.
I was not high and read this, meh. Got super high and re-read this, meh. But the lost… add for sub driver and pocket rocket that keeps flashing, I stared at them shits for a good 20 minutes. Take away: when pitching advertisers, make sure you have a click through % metric – ‘when high’ – in the deck.
my bots click through no matter how many hot knife hits they take. its like electronic Sparta over here.
Getting stoned before a surf always seems great, till you get caught inside and pummeled by a set. Then you’re just dizzy as fuck!
Ha!
Like my homie Arturo used to say (with heavy Mexican accent) “What you don’t smoke weed? You’re a lame!”
Dave’s not here.
I’ve never mixed weed and surfing. I like weed, but when I was a kid, the only people I ever saw getting high before surfing still waited tables in our tiny hometown in their late 30s. Could never shake that image. Also, getting high during the day sucks.
Korn, Hot Nife, Limp Bizkit… I can’t keep up with these many seen kids and their rap-rock misspellings.
Come on now, Stab has been body packing for Weedmaps for a while. Morgan’s been spewing all sorts of shit about how it realigned his shakras and helped him achieve #vanlifenirvana.
(Don’t take this as a criticism of recreational substance abuse or professional advertorial)
Exactly! Odd coverage!
I didn’t read carefully enough. My apologies.
But odd has always been your opinion of Herr Morgan’s writing has it not?
I suppose you’ve got me… maybe they should put someone else on their weed desk.
I stoped smoking weed cause hippies. I started coke cause MCD!
I still like both, just cause they’re fun 🤙🏽
They need some sick fins with hot knifes colors!
Yes!
Smells like a conspiracy!!! Wait, that’s just my soul burning…proceed!
Conspiracy to make rad flourecent fins?
Are they glass on? I had fluorescent orange glass on fins once and they were gorgeous to look at and ride
