For most people, this time of year includes a world full of cold snow. Even though the temperature may be freezing, stoners still love to smoke in different places, even if it means bundling up! Winter is a gorgeous time of year for some people and smokers who deal with this white stuff six months out of the year always have a favorite spot to chill and smoke when it's cold outside. These are the top five places to smoke during the snowy winter!

 

- Fireplace

Of course smoking in front of the fire place would be on this list! While some stoners don't have the liberty of being able to do this, those that can take full advantage. There's nothing like sitting in front of a nice warm fire while a snowstorm rages outside and you share a joint/bowl/bong with someone you care about, whether it be a boyfriend, girlfriend, or group of buddies.

 

- Igloo

Most people who live in snowy areas know how to make an igloo. What else are you going to do with the four feet of snow on the ground? Making an igloo not only provides a dope spot to toke, but you will be enjoying nature but yet staying out of the real cold. You can make igloos big enough for friends or just yourself. Just make sure that you make a chimney or the hot smoke may collapse your creation!

 

- Car

Hotboxing a car in a blizzard is an epic experience. Watching the snow fall can become a seriously time consuming activity. This situation can also be spent driving around but it's not recommended if it's actually snowing. Best to wait until the storm stops if you're going to cruise, otherwise it's fun just to park somewhere and get high.

 

- Mountain

Skiers and snowboarders alike love to smoke weed on the chairlift and it's pretty awesome. Sharing a joint while the lift takes you above the treetops is seriously epic. The scenery is great, the feeling of being on the mountain is great, and it's just an awesome place to be getting stoned.

 

- Hikes

If you have the option, taking a hike can be a cool way to get high. Roll a joint or a blunt, bundle up, and travel along the snowy woods. If it's just snowed, the woods get eerily quiet and definitely beautiful. Hikes are a favorite of cold weather stoners.

Holidays call for small snacks to be served, especially if you're having a party! These cute little cakes can be served wrapped in little bows and make a great alternative to the traditional chocolate chip cookies or brownies! The recipe is simple and quick, which means that you'll have time to rush make them before friends arrive or you can save them for the New Years parties that will be coming up soon! You'll need cannabutter for this recipe so make sure that you have some or can make some before getting started!

 

What You'll Need;

2 tsp. Almond extract

½ lb. Marijuana Butter

1 ¾ cups sifted flour

½ cup plus 1 Tbs. Powdered sugar

1 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans

2 tsp. Vanilla extract

 

 

Preheat your oven to 30 degrees first! Take the powdered sugar and the cannabutter and whip them together. The substance should turn a light green color. Once it turns that color, whip in the almonds, a little bit of salt, and the vanilla. After that, toss in the chopped nuts and blend in the flour very lightly! Taking the mixture, form small balls about half the size of a ping pong ball and place them on a cookie sheet. Put them in the oven and cook them for about 25 minutes or until they turn a lightish brown color. Remove the treats from the oven once they're done and let them cool. Then give them a light dusting of powdered sugar and you're finished! These delicious treats will make a great addition to every party or perhaps just might make a great snack for yourself!

The nonprofit organization United for Care has garnered enough signatures to put their medical cannabis legalization initiative to a vote of the people in 2014. In total, roughly 800,000 signatures have been collected, with 683,149 required to put the initiative to a vote. However, given that some of those 800,000 signatures may not be valid (from someone who isn’t a registered voter, for example), the group will continue to collect signatures until their February 1st deadline.

 

Under the proposed law, the possession and use of cannabis will be legal for qualified patients who receive a license from the Department of Health. In addition, state-licensed dispensaries will be authorized to distribute cannabis to patients or their caregivers. Although specific diseases such as cancer are mentioned as qualifying conditions, physicians would have the ability to prescribe cannabis to anyone who they thought would benefit from it.

 

According to recent polling, Floridians overwhelmingly support medical cannabis, and are primed to make Florida the first state in the south to legalize it; a Quinnipiac University poll released in November found that an astonishing 82% of those in the state in support of legalizing medicinal cannabis, with only 16% opposed.

 

United for Care is founded by attorney John Morgan, a former fundraiser for President Obama, who has vowed to spend “whatever it takes” to get his initiative on the ballot, and passed into law.
