Mary, Meet Jane
The notion that all musicians rely on psychotropic aids - either to stimulate their creativity or as an inherent part of their lifestyle - is an antiquated cliché with little basis in reality. Scores of musicians, including guitarists, attack their art with singular purpose and untainted mind, inspired only by the grace of their instrument and the glory of their calling.
For the remaining 98% of us,* the stars aligned this past week on guitarnoize.com, which spotted this cannabis leaf-shaped guitar, and on electric-guitar-review.com, which highlighted a hemp guitar cabinet.** Coincidence? Maybe. Good idea for a Halloween costume? Probably. A match made in stoner heaven? Definitely. Mary, meet Jane.

Listen closely. Calm down and ride the snake. The snake is long. He is old and his skin is cold. He will not hurt you. You are in a safe place. Here’s what you need to do: Go get a citrus fruit, preferably orange or tangerine. Slice it into quarters and put one of the quarters in your mouth. Now go give away the rest of the fruit. (That should keep you busy for a while, hophead).
**Statements in this blog regarding the connection between hemp products and marijuana use constitute trite inaccuracies that continue to undermine the wide-spread cultivation of this important crop. Hemp contains only minute levels of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (”THC”), the psychoactive ingredient found in hashish and marijuana, resulting in very little intoxicating effects. (See this Wikipedia entry, which may or may not have been heavily edited by hopheads.)

The snake long…seven miiiiiiiles
People used to end each sentence with “man”. This markedly diminished when bell bottom pants went away.
Wow I had no idea you would be able to build a cabinet from hemp!? That’s awesome, although the tie-dye cover is going too far!
