As previously noted, I come from Bumblefuck, Wisconsin. It has everything you’d expect a middle of nowhere Wisconsin farm town to have. A quiet, quaint downtown, streaming creeks and clear rivers, tons of farm field with the cows and manure to match, and most proudly, 2.4 bars for every 1,000 people.

Bars vs Grocery density:

What you don’t expect to find in the middle of this mini Sudetenland is a ski resort. But look to the north and behold, for there sits the mighty  Rib Mt. On its north face is the Granite Peak Ski resort.

The problem with Rib Mt is that it really is not a mountain. Local legend states that a mountain is technically 800 ft tall, and poor Rib Mt is only 760ft tall. The solution? Build a 40 foot observation tower at the peak, stand on top of it, remeasure, and celebrate your new mountain.

Whether technically a mountain or not, there is only so much skiing you can do down a 760 ft piece of geology. That never stopped me from loving every inch of that hill as I worked,  lived and played out my adolescence on it.

Its these fond memories that bring me to today’s free 420 Jar.  Greg from TN ordered a 6 pack of jars plus a scope and while I was placing the label on his box I noticed his street was named “ski mt”.  Having never heard of Tennessee skiing, I did a quick google search of the area and found the resort.  Weighing in at 8 runs with the longest trail being 5000 feet long, I was blasted with a wave of nostalgia and immediately reopened his package to toss in a free jar. Now Greg can finally say that mountain got him something besides pure ice conditions and a lift ride up that takes  longer than the run down.

Small hills make good mountains

It appears I’m favoring Spring, TX.  It isn’t intentional, I swear, but it turns out yesterday’s and today’s free 420 Jars were both sent that way. Looks like I sent another one a month ago too.

I won’t get all that concerned about it.

Unless, it’s the same guy ordering under different names and finding himself loaded with free jars.

Actually, if that is the case, I’m questioning how this person can take control of my brainwaves and how he’s able to point my jar giving hand so often to the city of Spring.

Once I find out how his witchcraft works I’ll probably just be impressed and give him another free jar for the effort.

Anyway, before I suspected the occult was involved, I had picked out Thurman in Spring, Tx for ordering a TX Norml Jar. I hope he enjoys the free small THC, because now I’ll be sleeping on a pillow made of garlic wearing a tin-foil nightcap.

It’s Norml to fear black magic

In my opinion, nothing mixes better than pot, politics and authority. I’m not claiming they mix like a refreshing Sunday mimosa, the blend is actually more like napalm, but they still mix well.

Today’s free 420 Jar goes out to a guy who apparently likes to be the one to light the match on these sorts of things.

I’m speaking of Joseph from Out Grow Big Bro, an activist group that seems to liken themselves as a group of Johnny Appleseeds, wandering this land spreading the goodness of the herb seed…..apparently most often around buildings of authority.

Free xs Rasta Leaf for getting up the gumption.

Today’s free 420 Jar has been sent to Rohan in Tx, who I can only assume has parents that are really into Tolkien.

He comments with his order:

facebook group. nice marketing sir.

Well thanks. Though, technically we’re not a sir. We’re a collection of sir’s and madam’s.  Good effort though, enjoy the small skunk.

It’s not an accident

Author: Brian | Filed under: Free 420 Jars

Now that we’re up to 55 posts on this blog I think its time to rewind and make sure all our more recent fans are caught up to speed.

Hi.

I’m Brian.

I work for 420 Science. It’s a pretty cool gig. If “pretty cool” means “awesome” and “gig” means “career in the marijuana industry”, that is.

But enough about me. Let’s talk about you. Let’s talk about what it’s going to take for me to put a free 420 Jar in your hand.

Step 1.) Buy something from us.

Step 2.) Pray to your favorite deity.*

Step 3.) Await your order filled with awesome 420 Science products
*If no deities are available, you could try writing an interesting comment when you place your order. It’s no guarantee though

Easy enough. Step one is important though. I think we can all agree that every stoner wishes for a free 420 Jar. I think we can also all agree that satisfying every wish wouldn’t be the best business strategy for us.  Call me crazy but I’ve got a thing for capitalism.

So that’s it really. That’s the game.  It works out for you because anything that increases the chances of getting a free jar with your order has to be a good thing. It works out for me because I’m already walking around the warehouse making commentary on the daily orders as it is, and now I have an outlet to let others experience all the nonsense these orders provoke inside my head.

Now that we’ve touched up, let’s get on with the show.

I picked two orders today to receive free 420 Jars. They both were magnificent in their own way and both deserved a little something extra.

First free 420 Jar goes to Christopher in NJ.  Chris wrote the single most befuddling, antagonizing, single spaced block words I have ever seen in  any comment. Ever. I love it. I’d take this comment home to Mommy. Here it is in all of it’s full, unedited glory.

Hello my name is Christopher.I am a long time fan thats lost hope. I truly Belived at some point i would get a kick ass jar. WRONG. i found you guys surfn for supplys. My aunt saw these jars and loved them. She is now getting married and her wedding is in june so Im getting this for her wedding gift. I am starting to began to think that this is just a scam and false advertisment. I have been reading and enjoying this website for along long time now and never have i ever got a “free 420 jar”. You would think afte a while maybe somthing.. I like to say good things come to those who wait. Well wait I have and read articl upon article of free give aways beliving there is some good in this world and actualy happy there is somebody out there that cares for us or anyone at that. I am now going to buy a jar but I only want you to know I am truely sorry for bothering with this for so long beliving the FREE 420 JARs and that maybe just maybe once in my life somthing good would happen to me. Herb has saved my life and without it I would not be here. and with that im going to smoke a fatty place a order and hope soemone will read this and know you broke my heart and i will not read those fony blogs of “todays free 420 jar” this is my last shot. Brian, will you prove me wrong and let me belive again. long time fan, Christopher
your true long loyal friend of the past Christopher .

Chris, If I wasn’t already staying late just today just to give away free 420 Jars then I would respond to this line by line, making sweet love to each sentence ever so slowly. But it’s late and Friday, so please enjoy the free medium Medical Leaf I sent you and have fun at the wedding.

Today’s second free 420 Jar is headed out to Aaron in Ma.  Aaron’s order was an instant standout for having an order comment with enough imagery to make me feel like I was living in the 90′s hit tv show “Wings” He comments:

Spent a few weeks island hopping in a deserted corner of the Caribbean and our entry-point back into the states was Ft. Myers, FL. Ft. Myers airport is a throw-back to an earlier era. The building has two rooms – a top level and a bottom level. In the bottom level there is a small store that sells cold beverages, beach knick-nacks and a tired pile of magazines.

The pile consisted of a few nudie mags, a people from 2006, and a high times. In that high times I found an ad for 420 science, and it made my day. I am waiting with bated breath for my first order. You are going to make my day.

Thanks!

You might be a pot head if….. You’re sitting a table with a few nudie magazines and a High Times and you grab the High Times. Well done sir. Enjoy the free large Word Cloud

It’s all said with love… A tale of two orders.

Today’s free 420 Jar is a xl Cannabis Cup Lion headed out to John in Big Bear City.

Big Bear City isn’t even a city. Its unincorporated. Yet they have the cajones to put the word city in their name. Big cajones. Like those you’d find on a big bear.

They must think that since they are so high up on the mountain they can just make their own rules about these sorts of things. I’m imagining what the meeting some hundred and so years ago was like where they determined the name.

“Well Bill, we do have big bears up here, so lets name it Big Bear City”

“Yes but Tom, we won’t actually be a city, we’re really just an un-administered area made up of gold miners and crazy prospectors”

“Well too bad, if anyone has a problem with the name Big Bear City then tell them to go talk to that big fucking bear.”

I’m fairly sure it went almost exactly like that. I think I’ll go add it to their wiki.

Sometimes it’s a matter of where you come from and who you know. Today’s free 420 jar goes to Andrew up in BC, who came to us through rollitup.org.

If anything, Andrew can consider it a gift to help make up for the failure of the Canucks.

Maybe it won’t, but honestly, I’ve been wanting to rub hockey in the face of a Canadian somehow since the Olympics. You may not have Stanley’s Cup. Not yours.

Today’s free 420 Jar goes out to John R, who may or may not be the Chief Supreme Court Justice.

While presumably taking a break between hearing cases on sexual predators and life sentences for minors he was able to place an order and comment :

Looked you up.

Give the guy a break, he’s got better things to do then type a long order comment.

John, I hooked you up. Free xs amber Rasta. Enjoy.

Here’s looking at you

Author: Brian | Filed under: Free 420 Jars

What’s cooler than going to Amsterdam and picking up two limited edition High Times Cannabis Cup commemorative jars?

How about going to the Cannabis Cup and then later visiting the Doobie Awards hosted in Austin, Tx where you pick up another commemorative jar?

Ya, that would be cooler.

Which brings us to Mike outside of Houston. He went to the ’09 cup, hes got the jars. So I’m sending him a Doobie Awards jar to make sure he can prove to his friends he’s working on hitting the whole circuit.

What? You actually didn’t go to the Doobie Awards? That’s fine, you’ll still like the jar, but it would have been a lot cooler if you did.

Mike Crain. Another name I’m not upset at missing out on.

That “k” to “c” transfer is a rough one.

I’m saying it, but it just naturally comes out as Mikerain.

I can focus hard and hit both letters individually, MiKe Crain, but then I sound like one of those haughty blue-bloods who deliberately say things like schedule as “Shedule” or battery as “Bat-tree”.

Then again, I couldn’t get my tongue to differentiate between first, thirst, free or three until I was about nine so the blame most likely rests with me.

Anyway, free medium amber Hello to Mike Crain for all the name pain.
