Slightly Stoopid has been touring on the road consistently since 1996, and successfully they deliver vocals, instrumentals and rhythm in a stony punk reggae funk flavor that has earned this band a well established fan base all around the world.
Just a few hours before lead singer Kyle McDonald and bandmates of Slightly Stoopid chat it up over the airwaves for KROQ’s Loveline, we meet at the lounges of Silverback Music in Hollywood for a chill interview and exclusive rolling session.

“If Boston, Massachusetts is going to legalize it, why doesn’t California,” he begins. “Look at Denver, they’re awesome. The legalization of Marijuana can get people to where people need to be, the only reason the government isn’t going to let that happen is because they’re jealous and they don’t want to see other people making money and prospering. They should get with the times,” he concludes.

“We went to Germany, Copenhagen, London, France, Greece, and Jamaica, and then we went to Amsterdam for the Cannabis Cup.” Kyle shows me these papers he just got from Amsterdam called The Baba, and shares, “They are just as big as a blunt, but they’re actual rolling papers,” He begins breaking up the G-13 and Warlock for his joint, and grinds the buds.

“My favorite way to medicate is with a joint. It’s discreet, portable; I can walk with it, use tongue to exterminate.” As for edibles, he continues, “you can take weed and make cookies, brownies, butter, and put it on your vegetables and toast.”

-Essentials when rolling a Joint-
1. Everything starts with the grinding. Always use a grinder.
2. Pack it good
3. Get that nice tuck.
4. Instead of edging out, round it out like a big fat cigarette (this can also be done with the paper in pre-roll).
5. Baba crutch is essential
6. A poking / stabbing device like a chopstick (or sticks if your outdoors, keys, etc.,) to pack the weed down.

Light up and enjoy!

Kyle uses the Shish Ka-Berry and Grapefruit Haze buds to grind up for the blunt, and adds, “You definitely need to lick the blunt more than you do any fat joint. Remember that rolling a blunt takes time and is an art that cannot be rushed.”

-Essentials when rolling a Blunt-
1. Grinder, cause it’s really no fun sitting there and picking away at it.
2. Baba crutch
3. Stabbing device to poke.
4. Time. Don’t rush.
5. If you should happen to get a hole in the blunt, always have something to repair it, like Cyclones.
Light up and enjoy!
