16 Reasons Every Stoner Needs To Move To Asheville

Note: This stuff is also enjoyable sober. But not as enjoyable. Sorry, Grandma.

First things first:

Twab Mugs / Via twabmugs.tumblr.com

OK. Continue.

1. Order a dank pizza at Mellow Mushroom.

For the “I fuck with weed sometimes, but I never fuck with animal products” person, this beauty is vegan.

2. Take in the great outdoors — specifically the Blue Ridge Mountains — in your newly altered state of mind.

“This is literally the chillest thing I’ve ever seen.”

3. Buy a dime bag and a drum to create colorful, far out music at the Friday evening drum circle downtown.

Weird dancing. Cute babies. Hacky Sack. It’s all here to overstimulate your little stoned mind.

4. If you consider guacamole a food group (doesn’t everyone?) and have a serious case of the munchies…get to White Duck Taco Shop.

“Yeah, uh, just give me one of each dude.”

5. TRIP OUT over the Asheville nun. Like. What. The. Actual. Fuck.

You’re tanked, but this is crazy shit.

6. Surround yourself with profound knowledge at The Battery Park Book Exchange.

And by that, I mean, re-read the same sentence for two hours and/or play with customers’ dogs.

7. Have a joint in one hand and paintbrush in the other in the River Arts District.

“Like…graffiti is a seriously deep expression of life, man.”

8. Loaf your tanked body to 12 Bones to go in on ribs, greens, grits, and cornbread.

Obama eats here. So, you could meet the President. High.

9. Get your cross-buzz on literally by the water at The Bywater.

Contemplate purchasing a boat and sleeping in it down the river.

10. Or, if you’re feeling mobile, you could walk around the French Broad River.

THE place to smoke and contemplate life’s big questions, like: “I wonder where the nearest store that sells Oreos is…”

11. Hot-box in a trippy piece of vehicular art.

Whoever owns this probably wants marijuana to be legalized.

12. Have someone carry your blazed ass to Dough.

“Dude, like, we’re baked…and this bread is baked.” *mind explodes*

13. If you’re craving a particularly enlightened high, idle over to Asheville Community Yoga.

Make up a few of your own marijuana induced postures, or sleep through the whole thing. #corpsepose

14. Have a staring contest with the buskers.

“They are like, such damn relaxed people, yo. Wonder if she’s as faded as us.”

15. Puff, puff, pass with students at Warren Wilson College.

It’s stoner God James Franco’s alma mater…NOT a coincidence.

16. The city’s motto?

JK, it’s #keepashevilleweird

Ron Paul: U.S. Didn’t Really Want To Catch Bin Laden Because They Needed An Excuse To Invade The Middle East

“Ya know, they knew where Bin Laden was. I don’t think they really wanted to catch him because he was used as the excuse for us, you know, invading various countries and building up the military.”

Mark Makela / Reuters

Former Republican presidential candidate and congressman Ron Paul says he doesn’t believe the United States government wanted to catch Osama Bin Laden because they needed him as an excuse to build up the military and invade Middle Eastern countries.

“Matter of fact, can’t you just see the difference that might have occurred. Ya know, they knew where Bin Laden was. I don’t think they really wanted to catch him because he was used as the excuse for us, you know, invading various countries and building up the military,” Paul said on Scott Horton’s radio program.

Paul was discussing his September 11 Marque and Reprisal Act of 2001 in the context of the debate over the Authorization for the Use of Military Force against Islamic State. Paul’s letter of marque and reprisal would have authorized a small private force to capture Osama Bin Laden for the United States.

“So if you had a private force that was going to be paid to go over and get him because they had pretty good knowledge of where he was and taking care of him early on, just think of the benefits that would have come from a very, very narrowed approach to you know, going after those people that were participating in 9/11.”

21 Reasons Cook-Out Is The Greatest Food Joint In The Whole Damn South

I’d like a spicy chicken sandwich with a double order of fries, please!

21. If you haven’t heard, Cook-Out is a delicacy that’s only served in select areas of the South.

It’s better than Five Guys, Checkers, Whataburger, and yes, In-N-Out!

20. The menu is full of delicious fried foods. Sometimes that food makes you want to weep, because there’s so many things to eat, and you want to try everything.

19. And don’t get me started on the milkshakes. They have more than 40 flavors, and they’re thick as hell.

18. Seriously, the shakes are so thick you’ll need a spoon to devour them. A straw just won’t do.

17. No, I’m not weeping, you’re weeping! *eats a spoonful of Oreo milkshake*

16. The fries are crispy and golden, ensuring that each bite is an enjoyable experience.

When I skipped class & went to CookOut 😂😂😂 S/O to CookOut tho 💯✊

— Real_Rovert33 (@DAVID RUFFIN‼️)

15. You can also get your fries topped with ooey gooey cheddar cheese and bacon.

I don’t know why but I never get tired of cookout lol 🙌

— _DailyRose (@Jasmine Rose)

14. And maybe you aren’t a cheese person. That’s OK, but don’t forget to douse your fries with yummy seasoning.

13. Oh, and the nuggets. They’re so flaky and juicy, just like a chicken nugget should be.

12. Seriously, once you bite into a morsel of Cook-Out food, you’ll want to proudly wear any clothing they make. It’s that good.

do you really love cookout if you don’t have a shirt? 😎

— choleworld_ (@choleworld ✨)

11. Cook-Out also has the best hot dogs you’ve ever tasted. They’re like plump sausages being carried safely in toasted buns. SO. GOOD.

Um, yes. I’ll take three of those, all the way!

10. Then there’s the hush puppies, which taste like they were made from the hands of Zeus himself.

9. If you can barely handle how beautiful these golden morsels look, you’d probably shout once you tasted them.

8. And because it’s located in the South, you know that the barbecue is poppin’. Don’t forget the coleslaw!

7. Once you taste barbecue from Cook-Out, you’ll automatically become grateful to the pig who died so your tastebuds could live.

6. And how could we forget about the burgers? Cooked to perfection, with the taste that they’ve just come off the grill. Are you drooling yet?

Headed to Chapel Hill to see #UNC smash tonight! But had to hit #Cookout first!

— TheHoldingTide (@Richard Orzechowski)

5. Just look at how thick that burger is. Aren’t you sad you’re not from the South? Otherwise, you’d know how enjoyable this is.

4. Another great thing about Cook-Out is that you can mix n’ match your tray with anything. Yeah, I’ll take tenders AND a burrito because I live life on the edge.

“@goldbrvcks: Cookout Tray or Iggy.RT if you had to look at Cookout Tray again. 😂 ” 😂😂😂😂😭 RT

— KENZOLANSKIE (@LifeOfKenz)

3. Sure, I’ll take a burger AND a chicken wrap.

S/O to YANAI FOR PERSUADING NICOLE TO GIVE ME THE COOKOUT SHE BOUGHT FOR SOMEONE ELSE LMAO LUV NAI LUV LIFE 💘💘💘💘

— _ramishaa (@Ramisha)

2. And then we have the golden onion rings, which were probably harvested by Demeter herself before they were dropped in hot cooking oil.

1. In all, listen to this guy: Eat Cook-Out because it’ll change your life. #RealTalk

@EatCookOut changed my life.

CNN reports:

“The people who collect tactical intelligence on the ground, day-to-day – and this isn’t Washington – but people collecting this stuff say they’re here, ISIS is here, they’re capable of striking,” said CNN national security analyst and former CIA operative Bob Baer. “They don’t know what their plans and intentions are. But it’s a definite concern,” said Baer.

U.S. intelligence agents are keeping an eye on suspected ISIS militants who they believe have come across the Mexican border, or are American citizens that have come back from Syria, says Baer.

Speaking of the Mexican border, Judicial Watch has been trying to draw attention to a federal bulletin warning of Islamic terrorist groups operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs.
