Don’t do it in the first place
When it comes to the consumption of cannabis in Marin County, there is enough local historical and cultural material to fill at least a few books. Between the beatnik and hippie movements of the past and the easy-breeze Nice Guys delivery of the present, it’s safe to say that Marin County’s morale is … well, high. Very high.
Factor in the origin story of 4/20 being a local bit of lore along with San Rafael being the literal epicenter of the Waldos storyline, and it’s hard to deny that the North Bay is a bit of a cannabis cultural epicenter.
So, in celebration of the stoners who paved the way for modern lovers of the devil’s lettuce to “puff puff passing” things along today, it is high time to unite newspapers and cannabis into one—one joint, that is.
While technically one should never roll a joint out of a newspaper since the ink is not fit for human consumption, let’s briefly ignore that fact for the sake of some laughs. So, with that warning in mind, it’s time to delve into the process of rolling a joint from a Pacific Sun newspaper:
Step one is, of course, to consume an edible at least two hours prior to trying to roll the joint. Step two is to pick up and try to read a Pacific Sun newspaper.
Once step two successfully fails, either cut up the newspaper into individual rolling papers or commit to the bit and roll one giant joint instead—preferably with the front page facing outward so people know it’s a Pacific Sun joint and not a Marin IJoint.
Step three involves packing that newspaper high with whatever weed one can find and then licking the edges of the newspaper profusely and passionately prior to rolling it all up to the best of one’s own individual ability. And last but not least, step four is to smoke that righteous Pacific Sun joint like the Waldos are watching.
Dimensions of joints may vary upon preference of desired density and girth for ensuring optimal satisfaction. Note that the steps above are best when undertaken on a windy day on some Marin County beach or another.
