New data from an online retailer suggests that most cannabis users in the United States are consuming their herb at night. Using information from more than 100,000 Twitter posts from the last month including time of day and geotagging data, online head shop DankGeek determined that most states are lighting up in the evening hours.

Dave S., the owner and operator of DankGeek, told High Times that the project began as a way to create a blog post that would bring traffic to the website and boost their ranking in search engine results. Working with a firm that uses social media posts to identify trends and create relevant internet content, DankGeek learned from tweets about using marijuana that more than 80 percent of states were waiting until after the traditional 4:20 p.m. smoking time to light up. Only two states, Tennessee and Minnesota, were using cannabis promptly at 4:20, and just seven were sparking up earlier than that. Nevada jumped the gun by only 10 minutes, with tweets about using pot trending at 4:10.

The data indicated that the rest of the 41 states were most comfortable taking their hits later in the afternoon or even late at night. Tweets from Arizonans and Texans indicated that they were waiting the latest to imbibe, with the most popular time for those states coming in at 11:50 and 11:30, respectively. Smokers in Kentucky, Idaho, and Florida also waited until at least 11 pm to enjoy their herb.

States That Prefer to Wake and Bake Also Revealed

Dave said that he was surprised to see a cluster of northern states—Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, and South Dakota—that were all lighting up by 8:10 in the morning.

“Those four state, they’re all very early tokers. So I thought, ‘alright, that’s the wake and bake area’,” he said.

Dave theorized that perhaps the climate at that latitude was responsible for the early morning cannabis use in those states.

“Maybe it’s because it’s so cold, they need something to warm up,” he added.

Two more states also showed a proclivity for the wake and bake sesh. Bong hits were being lit in South Carolina at 7:50 a.m., to be followed by stoners in Arkansas just 10 minutes later.

Dave said that the blog post written about the analysis of tweets related to marijuana did its job and successfully garnered attention and traffic for the website. However, he later decided that the article might run afoul of restrictions prohibiting the sale of drug paraphernalia.

“Anytime you put a direct reference to the words THC, marijuana, cannabis, that’s a big no-no,” Dave said. “So we had to quickly remove that from our blog.”

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Trump Firing Jeff Sessions: This Was 'Done Out of Fear'

Alternet
❘❙❚❙❘ ❚
9:50 pm
He had to get rid of Sessions before Democrats are sworn in. President Donald Trump took a long-expected but still shocking step Wednesday when he fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions and replaced him with loyalist Matthew Whitaker. MSNBC's Rachel Maddow noted that there's a striking parallel to President George W. Bush's firing of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld after the 2006 midterm elections. Rumsfeld had completely botched the Iraq War, and the voters sent a decisive blow to the Republican Party at the ballot box — so Bush, in turn, took the reasonable step of firing Rumsfeld the next day. But what's...

How Steve Bullock Could Win The 2020 Democratic Primary

FiveThirtyEight
❘❙❚❙❘ ❚
6:06 am
Montana Gov. Steve Bullock announced Tuesday that he’s seeking the Democratic nomination for president, and even though he is relatively late to join the race, he is, according to our research, the 19th candidate to qualify for the first two debates this summer. (He is also the 21st “major” Democratic presidential candidate by FiveThirtyEight’s standards.) Bullock starts off an underdog — though perhaps less of one than some of the other non-name-brand candidates to join the race in recent weeks. That’s because Bullock may have a good strategy for winning voters over. In a May 8 tweet, he said, “As...

Pope Francis Again Criticizes ‘Builders of Walls’

Pope Francis took a swipe at “builders of walls” Thursday, saying they “sow fear and look to divide people.” “We know that the father of lies, the devil, prefers a community divided and bickering,” Francis told a crowd of youth in Panama City, according to CNN. The religious leader encouraged the tens of thousands of listeners to be “builders of bridges” instead of walls. The speech could be seen as a critique of U.S. President Donald Trump, who maintained a 35-day government shutdown in an attempt to achieve the $5.7 billion in funding he needs to build a border wall...

Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden is asking the Trump Administration for answers about whether the Saudi government helped a Saudi national flee the U.S. after he was accused of killing an Oregon teenager. Wyden, a Democrat who sits on the Senate’s Select Committee on Intelligence, wrote a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker, asking whether they could confirm a report by the Oregonian that in 2017 the Saudi Arabian government helped then-20-year-old Abdulrahman Sameer Noorah avoid trial for the 2016 fatal hit-and-run crash of 15-year-old Fallon Smart. According to the Oregonian, the Saudi government...

A new report raises many pressing questions. Special Counsel Robert Mueller's cooperation agreement with Paul Manafort, the former campaign chair for President Donald Trump who has been convicted of several crimes as a part of the Russia investigation, is growing increasingly strained, according to a new report from ABC News. Manafort, who initially went to trial and was found guilty on several of the charges brought against him, eventually pleaded guilty to an additional set of charges in a bid for leniency from the special counsel. But if prosecutors are not satisfied with Manafort's testimony in private interviews, his guilty...
