Ponder These 10 Mind Bending Questions and Facts During Your Next Smoke Session

The universe is an interesting place, filled with a seemingly endless amount of unexplainable phenomena. Luckily that has not stopped our species from exploring and studying every micrometer of the universe we can see (even the universe inside each of us,) in an attempt to make sense of the grand mystery. The things that these individuals learn or the theories they develop can leave us with our minds boggled and our jaws on the floor. If that isn’t enough, our own social habits right here on this very planet have opened up a whole new avenue of mysteries. Lets take a look at a few of our universe’s eccentricities that I find the most intriguing. 10. Are We A Hologram?  It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but there is a good deal of evidence to support the theory that our universe may very well be a

The Science Of Sweet: Why We Like Sugar So Much

It doesn’t make you full, it doesn’t always make you feel well, and we all know it isn’t good for us, but yet sugar always keeps us coming back for more. What about the sweet substance is so appealing to us? is it simply the flavor or is there more at work here? According to, evolutionary biologist, Daniel Lieberman “Sugar is a deep, deep ancient craving,” Millions of years ago our ancient ape like ancestors survived mainly on sugar rich fruit, and evolved to like the riper, sweeter fruits even better because they provided more energy. Outside of providing energy, high sugar fruits also allowed them to store fat. Richard Johnson, a professor in the department of medicine at the University of Colorado, hypothesizes that our ancestors went through a period of starvation 15 million years ago as the Earth began to cool. Johnson believes that a mutation occurred during

15 Mind Blowing Documentaries To Watch When You Are High

Musician, Ruben Blades, once said “I think we risk becoming the best informed society that has ever died of ignorance.” If you are anything like me, you may think that this man is on to something. Over 61% of us carry around smart phones in our pockets that grant us access to more information than Einstein had availability to in his entire life, and yet we use them as social networking devices. Nearly 1/4 of Americans don’t know which country we gained our independence from. Almost half of all Americans think that Christianity existed before Judaism. Rather than fading into the uneducated herd of sheeple we are slowly becoming, I suggest you kick back, smoke a bowl, and pop in an eye opening documentary or two. Am I suggesting that these movies will make you smarter? Absolutely not. Am I suggesting that they will inspire you to try to become

Scientists Prove College Men Would Do Anything For Attractive Girls

Pretty women make men take more risks. Australian scientists made this conclusion after studying testosterone levels in skateboarders. The experiment was pretty simple: 96 guys around 22 years old were asked to perform various tricks on their board. Each skateboarder did his tricks in front of a man and a pretty woman and had to make a quick decision to follow through with the trick or risk falling flat on his face. Then the scientists measured hormone levels of the skateboarders.   Livescience reports:   “These findings suggest that, for men, the adaptive benefits gained by enticing mates and intimidating rivals may have resulted in evolved hormonal and neurological mechanisms that facilitated greater risk-taking in the presence of attractive women,” [wrote the authors of the study, Richard Ronay and William von Hippel, of the University of Queensland in Australia].   Previously, other researchers have also found that men take risks
