Apologies!

Sorry that the site has been only slowing updating, with no new material to really post. I got some epic (that's the only way to describe it, so fuck you) food poisoning, and I've been bedridden for about two days. Now I have work, and so does Sunny, but we do plan on bringing you some pretty bitching updates in the near future, so hang onto your cock-holsters ladies and gentlemen!

What did I do to deserve this?!

Suggestions.. Anyone? Anyone?

Just recently, J and I changed our layout and other important elements to the blog. We'd like if anybody had any suggestions, go ahead and comment this post and we'll probably use it-- afterall, everyone is a newb at one point.

The pages to the right of the blog will help anybody out if you're trying to find something specific; hopefully in the future this blog will grow as more people tune into us (so don't be shy in showin some stoner friends!)

So, keep your eyes open, and more changes will come. Also, if you have an adventure that you'd like us two fools to try out, or maybe a story that's badass that you've done while stoned like a motherfucker, be sure to comment!

tuned in, now droppin' out

More To Come, After A Word From Our Sponsors!

Sunny and I are very proud of our website progress so far. We're having a lot of fun doing it, and we know there are a lot of people that enjoy reading it. We decided that we would each just run this blog as our lives go by, Sunny doing whatever she likes, and me doing mine. Of course, we'll collaborate and have our adventures (it's our thing), but mostly we're going to just be doing what comes natural. That being said, here is a quick update on the status of our blog, in the near future:

  • We will be taking down and reposting all of our pictures, to best fit our needs.
  • The site layout and design will be changing several times in the near future, until we settle on something that is how we would like it.
  • The potential addition of three new types of series. Adding to the "Stoner Achievements", we will create a list of new adventures to complete, "Living the High Life" (such as Coping Mechanism), "The Dao of El Duderino" (things every stoner should know how to do), and "Stoned Exploration" (a segment on urban exploration)
  • In the near future, I will be completing more achievements, as this is the main focus of the blog. Keep your eyes open!
This blog is about our culture, who we are, and the things we love to do. We hope you enjoy what it's becoming as much as I do.

Living in a lucid dream,
Jason

Haunted Joint night

Refer back to Jason's first post about this night here: http://thehighlife80.blogspot.com/2011/05/nug-ninja-aka-haunted-joint.html

So...... J had this idea. Sneak onto private property and go inside a supposed haunted mental asylum.

Sounds stupid, right? Well, it is. Very stupid. But we're stoner fools, so that doesn't mean anything to us. Even one of our friends said that she wouldn't ever ever do this in a lifetime (yet, after I told her what happened, she can't wait to go the next time we go.) The sign that led into the private property warned us that we could get five years in prison if we were caught. After a long time of smoking and discussing it, we decided to take the risk.

We parked a few blocks away from the entrance, and when we were doing that, I figured it was just another walk. It didn't really kick into my head that we were doing this until we were at the rundown building. I myself started freaking out and had to be talked into doing it again...

When I stepped into the building, my heart instantly started to race faster. I couldn't see a thing, and when J walked across the floor, the sudden creaks even made me jump. We went into the first room (refer to the pictures J posted) and my hair stood up on my arm the instant I went in there. “Just a few more pictures,” J told me. Well.. those few pictures went by fast because I wanted to get the fuck out of there.

J wanted to finish the achievement, so I handed him the joint and fucking left. I stood outside looking around in the dark. I could hear J walking around in the building, but I got a weird feeling.. like somebody was looking at me. I quickly texted him and wanted him to come back, and right when I pressed send I felt something behind me, so I turned around to look. Nothing was there, but I stood there makin' sure some damn ghosts weren't sneaking up behind me.

I just stood there. Not breathing. Not making a sound.

Then, a low growl came from in front of me. I thought to myself, ah shit. Why now? Not here, in the dark, waking up the police...

The dog barked and barked. In my head, I was yelling for J to come back down and soon enough, he did. As soon as he saw it, he was prepared to fight in case it was a fighting dog. Luckily, some quick thinking on both our parts created only a small amount of noise. It gave us time to slowly back up and run off.

Honestly? I would do it again. I want to explore more now that I know that they don't have guards swarming the place. If I had my glasses, I probably would've been able to see the dog earlier. Looking back, I don't understand where the dog came from. I saw it move from the ground, so it must have been sleeping when we stepped through the front door. However, that doesn't even make sense. If we didn't make that much noise coming into the place, how the fuck did me getting on my cell phone make enough noise? Maybe the dog wasn't even real.....

I don't know. We'll have more information next week..

After it was all said and done, we found a friendly frog to play around with:

Motherfuckin' joint.

Froggin' around.

Anyway, I'll let ya fuckers know if we go back. We might! Expect more creepy pictures too!

xoxo

Life Sky High has hit 1,000 views!

Thanks to everyone who has read and supported us so far!  We love you guys!  That's the good news.  Here's the bad news.  With recent developments in our lives, Sunny and I have decided to censor the images of ourselves.  This is something we have long spoken about, and we finally decided carry out with it.  We feel like this will make us feel less close to our readers, but at the rate we're going, it's going to be necessary.

Sunny and I have our whole lives ahead of us, complete with professional careers and families.  We don't want to ruin that by fucking around on the internet.  We are 100% behind everything we do, just like always, we just need to keep ourselves out of trouble.

We love you guys,
Jason and Sunny

Nug Ninja aka The Haunted Joint!

Some things in life, are just plain frightening. War, violence, disaster, bears, and ghosts for some people. I, myself, have never been into the paranormal. So when I spoke to a couple friends for advice about the Nug Ninja achievement, the fact that a "haunted" dilapidated ex-insane asylum was driving distance from my house didn't really affect me. In fact, it sounded very exciting. This is when I decided that this was going to happen.

The building is directly next to a very fancy, occupied and active, winery. So the odds of us approaching from there, or parking there, and not getting caught was terrible. We decided to take the back roads and find an alternate enterance. This is when shit started to get real for us.

Apparently, the winery had purchased a very large portion of the land around it, including the asylum. Surrounding the area was a sizeable gate, litered with signs reading "Private Property: Trespassers will be prosecuted to full extent of law, $250,000 fine or 5 years in jail". Probably the worst words you can read before something like this, and while stoned as fuck. Sunny and I smoked a couple more joints, talked it over, and decided to go through with it, despite the crazy risks.

The actual building wasn't far from the gate, but it was all open field, so we had to move fast. We couldn't take pictures of the exterior, because the flashes of the camera would alert guards at the winery, as well as the surrounding neighbors. Needless to say, the building was unsettling, and very ominous. Broken windows, glass everywhere, frames falling off. It was three stories tall and made of brick. I tried to imagine the screams of the people treated here, but the idea was too much to handle.

We made it outside, and it took some convincing, but Sunny finally agreed to step inside. Once we were in, you could feel the broken glass and bricks crunch under your feet. At this point, Sunny just got a sweeping negative feeling, and it was far too overwhelming, so after snapping a few pics, I handed the camera to her, and she left. Since I was alone, I decided to do the most unsafe part, and the crowning achievement for Nug Ninja. Here are the pictures of the first level. It was very frightening in the dark.

A door that I couldn't even see, but I managed to snap a picture of

This tub seemed to be in a room by itself, next to a large room with much electrical
equipment, which leads me to believe this may have been the bath used to cool
off "patients" after electroconvulsive therapy

Electrical equipment not pictured, but this room looked really fucking torn up

The room of Helena Neel. She must have been a patient, considering that an
administration member would have their door labeled as such

The stairs I took to get to the roof. This is where Sunny turned back... I don't blame her.

It was two more stories to the roof, and this was probably the stupidest thing I've done in a long time. The stairs literally caved in about an inch with each step, and the hand rail was completely pointless. In the end, I made it to the roof, and lit up. At this point, I head much rattling from inside. Some sounded like bed springs, some sounded like whining. The moment I decided to come down was when I heard what sounded like chains being laid on the floor. I made it up and down without injury, which was very lucky in retrospect. But I had no idea that the most dangerous part was about to happen.

The faint sounds of barking could be heard as I slunk down the steps. As I stepped back to the front door, I heard Sunny call to me that a dog, a fucking DOG, was growling and barking at her. It was slowly approaching her, and it looked pretty big, even from a distance. It didn't take long for the situation to get real. Sunny was bright enough to stand tall and completely straight, as I approached with a rather large knife, ready to get my flesh ripped off. Animal control and the police won't help us, so I guess it was all on me. As I moved outside, the dog finally turned away, and Sunny and I slowly backed up, before going full sprint back to the gate. Needless to say, it was more than we bargained for.

So after a scary, terrifying night, we retired back to our respective houses, to bask in the warmth of another achievement taken to the next level. Nug Ninja: COMPLETE!

Getting us into all sorts of crazy shit,
Jason

"I've Never Smelled That Before..." EZ-Baked is complete!

EZ-Baked is complete (and fucking delicious, like, no other)! Sunny and I want this blog to do more than just the Stoner Achievements List, hell, any pot smoker can take a crack at it. No, we wanted this blog to be revolutionary in Stoner culture. So when we had to complete EZ-Baked, which calls for us to bake brownies or cookies, what did we do? We said "Fuck that" and we made something incredible.

They're called Devil's Food Balls. They are Devil's Food Cake, smothered with cream cheese frosting, rolled into a ball, covered in chocolate. Hell yes. But we needed to make this marijuana relevant right? So we made them into "Devil's Red Eyes". And here is how we did it.

First, acquire your ingredients and tools.
  1. Betty Crocker's Super Moist Devil's Food Cake Mix
  2. 1/2 Cup of Vegetable Oil (It will be Ganja Oil soon)
  3. At least 1/8 of an ounce, or about 3.5 grams of dank weed
  4. Betty Crocker's Rich and Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting (16 oz)
  5. An Accurate Scale (a 10th of a gram is best, but just a gram increment will do)
  6. Glassware to measure and store hot oil
  7. A small saucepan, bitches
  8. A cake pan (I can't believe I had to include this)
  9. 3 Eggs
  10. Bag of Chocolate Chips (16 oz)
  11. An oven and stove
  12. A coffee filter or cheesecloth
  13. A bowl (one for cooking, one for smoking lol)
  14. Clothespins or bulldog clips
  15. Pam (preferably, the specific one for baking)
  16. Toothpicks
First, weigh out your weed. It is generally known that using poor quality weed, or seeds and stems is good for cooking, as it allows you to get use out of the shitty stuff that you don't want to smoke. I save my seeds and stems just for this, so I had plenty.

Yes, I keep my stash in a Tic-Tac box

Grind that shit up, weigh it out the best you can. Then add between 1/2 to 2/3 cup of vegetable oil to a small saucepan. Heat it up on medium heat until it just barely starts to bubble, then set it to low heat (on a 1 - 10 scale, start off at 5 and pull it down to 2 when it bubbles). If at any time during the process it should begin to bubble, pull it off and lower the heat. You don't want to boil the cooking oil, you want it right below simmering. When the oil is where you need it, add the weeeeeeeed!

No, that's not all the weed that I used, I just forgot to take another picture

Stir this bitch, and watch for bubbles for about at least an hour. It feels like a long time, so bring some jams or a movie or something (good time to smoke a bowl). I let it cook for an hour and a half for good measure. Let it cool until it is cold enough to touch. Put your coffee filter over your glassware, and secure it with clothespins. While it's cooling, you can stop here and continue later if you want. If not, preheat your oven to 350, as per the instructions on the box.

It kinda smells like pancakes, seriously

Pour the ganja oil through it to strain the weed. Some people like to save and dry their weed, but I feel as though the weed tastes awful and is bad afterwards, but that's personal preference.

Real men drink boiling Ganja Oil

Next, mix your cake batter in a bowl, using 1 and 1/3 cups of water, 1/2 cup (or whatever is left) of ganja oil, 3 eggs, and cake mix slowly by hand for at least 3 min. If you have a mixer, follow the directions on the box.

DO NOT EAT BATTER (quoting Betty Crocker)

Spray some Pam on your cake pan, pour in your cake mix and bake. For me, it took 35 min, but for you, it could be different. Check the box for help.
Munchies are T-30 minutes away

Viola! The cake is done! But this is the Stoner Achievements List! So Jason and Sunny don't stop there! Let your cake cool until it is cold enough to be handled with bare hands. Crumble up the cake into another bowl (or the one you used earlier).

Now there are two things in my kitchen that are baked as fuck

Mix that up with a 16oz can of cream cheese frosting, and stir until you get a very creamy and thick texture.

The Cookie Monster just had a stroke

Getting close to the end, here comes the super messy part. Roll the mix into balls, and place them on rows on parchment paper. At this point, you should stick this in the refrigerator, to make sure they have cooled plenty. Leave them in for about half an hour to an hour. While it's cooling, put your chocolate chips into a double boiler (optional) or microwave them as described on the package. Make sure they are hot and melted before you continue.

Having timed the chocolate-melting and ball-cooling perfectly, take out your balls, and using toothpicks, dip them as evenly as possible in the chocolate. Place them bake on the parchment, and let cool for at least an hour in the refrigerator.

Right before the chocolate!

Congratulations! You are now enjoying the BEST edibles on the planet! The batch made 36 rather large balls for me, but you can probably get about 50 if you use a melonballer. I only shared these with a lucky few friends, and they were honored! So there you have it, you can now make "Devil's Red Eyes" and share them with all your stoner friends! This means one challenge down, hundreds to go!

Ganja Baker Extraordinare,
Jason

3 Joints Down..

Weed Consumption: 3 Joints.

Okay, I haven't posted in a while. Jason has been urging me to write a blog post, but I haven't been able to due to finals in school, and my work schedule is bein' a bitch. I don't mind being so busy, but smoking pot while doing it can get a bit risky. I get so fucking lazy. The upside though is when I stop for a couple days I feel so energetic that I get all my shit done on time.

Anyway, new topic!

I want to bring in the matter of SUSHI.

Yes, sushi. Preferably when stoned!

After school one afternoon, Jason and I decided to go on a route and make it to an awesome sushi place closer to where I live (and school is closer to Jason.) On the way, we conquered the art of getting lost after two joints and a few cigarettes. The weather also was kinda pissy at us and poured the entire time. Come to find out, the sushi place that we couldn't find was off of a street with TWO names. One name going one way, and one going down the way we were on. So after we turned around, we realized this and found the place. (It's all because of how the highway is made where I live; it splits off going one direction, but the opposite can't get on that fork of the road. It's so confusing that my stoned mind couldn't figure it out just now.) Anyway, on with the details!

We had three types of sushi:

the california roll – avocado, crab and something else
spicy salmon roll--- salmon, spicy mayo sauce and something else
then this weird roll, which had two types of something I can't remember how to spell, and eggs. (yes. fish eggs.)

For appetizers, we had two eggrolls, seaweed salad and maio soup (my spelling is probably off.)



AND.. all of this was done with chopsticks.

So you see, fellow stoners, J and I accomplished a good stoner achievement: culture craziness-- where you toke it up and find some other culture's food to enjoy while blazed.

Look forward to more munchie tips from us! I plan on telling everyone one of my stoner fettucini recipes and of course the EZ Baked recipe Jason and I will be using later on.

droppin' out
