However, a total blackout will only occur in a narrow strip of the country, from Oregon to South Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>So obviously, the center of the solar eclipse pot hype is in Oregon: It\u2019s a safe bet that\u2019s it\u2019s going to look like some combination of Apocalypto meets the droid invasion of Kashyyyk \u2014 where Chewbacca\u2019s squad resides \u2014 but Oregon will probably have the best cannabis in the eclipse\u2019s path, notwithstanding random bags of Cali weed that migrate east.<\/p>\n<p>There are a crazy number of Oregon dispensaries, but also a whole lot of mids. So we reached out to some of the most knowledgable heads in Portland for the real scoop on where budding astronomers should go for research supplies \u2014 be it the spiritual, self-introspective or astronomical kind.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/homegrownapothecary.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homegrown Apothecary\u2019s<\/a> Hawaiian Trainwreck will surely get your heart beating a bit faster. Gassy versions and variations of the classic Arcata genetics are some of the best sativas in the game, and if you want to have a panic attack during the eclipse it\u2019s your best bet.<\/p>\n<p>Over at <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/dispensary-review-farma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Farma<\/a> \u2014 considered one of the top spots in the state by many \u2014 the <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/og-heaven-place-earth\/\">OG Kush<\/a> Breath by <a href=\"https:\/\/gnomegrownorganics.com\/our-farm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gnome Grown<\/a> looks super appealing. The rare cookies pheno has a terpene profile measuring in at 2.2 percent, which will definitely equate to some tasty solar rips \u2014 more on that shortly.<\/p>\n<p>There will be plenty of weed out there, but much like those eclipse sunglasses you got from China instead of the museum, you should always do a little research before you buy blind \u2014 <em>literally<\/em> blind in the case of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.popsci.com\/fake-solar-eclipse-glasses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">many of those sunglasses<\/a>, sadly.<\/p>\n<p>According to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.statesmanjournal.com\/story\/news\/2017\/08\/16\/oregon-eclipse-laws-marijuana-gas-sales-tax\/553158001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Statesman Journal<\/a>, there are really only four things to remember about Oregon pot laws:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>1. Don\u2019t partake if you\u2019re underage. Marijuana users must be at least 21 years old.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>2. No street-corner deals. You have to buy it from legal retailers licensed by the state. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which regulates recreational weed sales, has an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oregon.gov\/olcc\/marijuana\/Documents\/Approved_Retail_Licenses.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online list<\/a> of all the approved dealers.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>3. It\u2019s illegal to smoke or consume any type of pot in public. That includes gummies and brownies. Don\u2019t try to be sneaky. And no, the state isn\u2019t relaxing marijuana laws Monday to let you light a spliff at parks or sandy beaches during the roughly two minutes of solar-eclipse totality.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><em>4. You can\u2019t take it home with you across state lines.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s funny that this is really what they expect cops to be doing during the eclipse \u2014 looking for folks sneaking edible wrappers back into their pockets or listening for the sound of clicking lighters \u2014 but otherwise, good advice.<\/p>\n<p>And if you have to buy pot on the corner (that couldn\u2019t make it through Oregon\u2019s strict regulatory system) and you\u2019re over the age of 21, I\u2019d say you\u2019ve probably made other poor decisions along the way to that moment.<\/p>\n<p>So what are these solar rips I speak of? It\u2019s just like it sounds \u2014 harnessing the power of the sun to light your cannabis. And the possibilities are endless if you\u2019re willing to accessorize a bit.<\/p>\n<p>You can buy a<a href=\"https:\/\/squareup.com\/store\/themodernhippie\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> small magnifying glass<\/a>, but the most simple route is to get something all-in-one and just throw it on a nice bong. This <a href=\"https:\/\/aqualabtechnologies.com\/products\/solar-hit-pipe-solar-hit-slide-18mm-19?variant=43479394567\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solar Hit Pipe<\/a> is that solution, and it comes in an 18mm male size.<\/p>\n<p>The only problem is you won\u2019t be able to use it during the actual eclipse.<\/p>\n<p>Activists in less progressive cannabis states along the path are using the opportunity to get the word out to discourage cannabis consumption. In Wyoming, where a bunch of reform bill died this year (and a joint can get you a year in jail), law enforcement was kind enough to remind everyone they definitely <em>will<\/em> arrest you: Three of Wyoming Association of Sheriffs and Chiefs of Police\u2019s posts on Facebook this month have been about arresting pot smoking eclipse viewers, so we believe them.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to keep an eye out for whatever goes down in Washington D.C., where the Rhode Island Healing Church will burn THC infused olive oil at the National Basilica \u2014 or at least <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usnews.com\/news\/national-news\/articles\/2017-07-18\/believers-plan-cannabis-burning-event-at-dc-basilica-during-eclipse\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attempt to<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US,\u00a0<\/strong>what will you be doing during the solar eclipse?<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/solar-eclipse-rips-smoke\/\">Solar Eclipse Rips: Where (&amp; What) To Smoke<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\">Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nRead More: <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/solar-eclipse-rips-smoke\/\" target=\"_blank\">Solar Eclipse Rips: Where (&amp; What) To Smoke<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve got the info you need to make the most of the total solar eclipse.
