Now we've seen everything: The ChroniCaster

One toke over the line indeed

He just found the "magic chord"

Tired of waiting for the end of the gig to get your party on? The ChroniCaster Bong Guitar may be the answer. Mike Edison, former editor of High Times magazine, seems to think so.

In this amazing and highly entertaining clip, Edison, who sports an appropriate leopard fez and sunglasses, waxes effusive about the unique applications of the Chronicaster - a custom model put together by Joe Naylor of Reverend Guitars. He shows off the instrument's transparent body ("made of high-impact, bullet-proof Plexiglas") and points out that it "pulls easily for a good smoke."

But the real fun starts when Edison fires up the P90s and some special "Halle Berry." As the guitar's chambered body fills with smoke, the former High Timesman blasts off in more ways than one. While it is true that his riffing abilities might not keep Slash up nights, the important thing is that Edison is clearly living the dream. And dreaming what he lives.

Sure, if you want misinformation from people with no first hand experience of cannabis, talk to frank ;) If you'd bothered to read that news article beyond the first paragraph, you'd be aware of the fact that half of what you just said is shite. I really don't think we need anyone regurgitating the eschewed statistics miss Smith is trying to force feed the general public. I in no way support the glorification of drug use, but at least get your facts straight before you open your mouth/hit your keyboard.
On a lighter note, possibly the most impractical (or practical?) guitar ever, I'd love to see it "played" live though!

Spoonking (ironic misnomer?). Hmmm...so i'm over reacting eh? I should take a "chill pill"?
As some readers of Joes "harmless copy" may or may not know some forms of cannabis (skunk specifically) can lead to mental psychosis. Having worked with kids/adults who have to cope with panic attacks,fear of insanity and other mental complications, it's appears to me that it isn't all the fun it's made out to be, and that drugs actually harm people. For more info i suggest you check out the following link

Furthermore the glorification of these practices sanctions and validates them in the minds of those who take the written word literally.
Any professional publication should administer due care in its editorial.

Joe Bosso seems to write for the lowest common denominator. This is the level of his humour. He should stop writing stupid articles and go back to watching Cheech and Chong.
Shame on you music radar for posting this. Don't stereotype musos as stoners who can't wait to get their weed on. What kind of message are you sending out there?
Come back when you have something more meaningful to say Joe. I await with baited breathe.
