Oct.29,2010Hello Outpost Fans!
Well its been a while since our last post as we have been a bit busy around here.
We wanted to get on today to post to remind you guys and gals out there that next Tuesday, November 2nd, is a monumental day in elections around the country.
Obviously for us here at Outpost Clothing the most critical vote happens in the great State of California. Next Tuesday, the first vote for the full legalization of Marijuana will be decided.
We have waited years for this people!!!! It is our turn to stand up and vote to finally legalize pot. We know that this just applies to the state of California, but if we could get California to roll over, make money off of America’s biggest cash crop legally, and create a new paradigm of true states rights, then we may be able to create a domino effect for legalization in other states around this great nation.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do your part!!!! If you are in Cali, get out and VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you are not in California, call someone you know in California and get them to get out and VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please remember that it is our sworn responsibility in this great nation to stand up for what we believe in, to speak our minds about what we hold dear to our hearts, and as true patriots to correct the system when it is out of control and wrongly using the resources that we as it citizens give it!!!
Please help us and all your fellow counter culture heads around the country. Stand and be counted this next Tuesday. Together we can move mountains.
Peace,
The Outpost Team
Hello Outpost Fans!
Recently we have seen a spike in demand for our Fine Art Reproductions. Our marijuana inspired artwork is second to none and our fine art ganja reproductions are a great way to show your support for your love of Ganja and Ganja Outpost without having to take your support into the public.
As a pot inspired business, we realize that many of you simply cannot openly support your love for Mary Jane. We know that in many of your local communities wearing marijuana tshirts would raise more than a few eyebrows amongst a regular public audience. But don’t fret! You can still get the high quality Ganja Outpost artwork that you love here on our site for display around your home, home office or “smokeroom”.
Have a look at our Marijuana Artwork Page for all the most classic artwork reproductions available on the market today.
Our Fine Art Reproductions are print on the highest quality printing materials and we can even stretch the canvas prints on a wood frame ready for instant hanging in your home.
Get in touch with us today and hang a piece of Marijuana Smuggling History on your wall today!
Sep.8,2010Hello Outpost Fans!
Recently we updated the Smuggler’s Tales section of Ganja Outpost and one of the additions was a section we have called Conversations with a Smuggler.
In the conversations, everyday visitors to Ganja Outpost are encouraged to post questions for Ganja Outpost friend Skip Steele, one of America’s original Pot Smugglers.
We have been excited to see some recent posts for questions from some of you guys and gals out there and appreciate you guys participating with us!
It does take us a little time to get Skip to answer the queries, but today we have three new responses that were directed to Skip over the past couple weeks.
Have a look at Smuggler’s Tales section of Ganja Outpost to read the questions from some great Outpost Fans and join in on the conversation when you have time!
Hope you guys and gals enjoy!

Hello Guys and Gals,
As a group, “heads” around the country stand by anxiously as we approach the vote on Prop 19 in California this fall. For the the first time, the Prop 19 vote gives credence to the dream of decriminalized marijuana in California.
For those who reside outside of Cali, this vote won’t have much of a personal impact, as our states will, for the time being, still have the old archaic laws of the past firmly in action continuing to outlaw the recreational use or possession of green ganja. However, the potential tipping point that the passing of Prop 19 could have here in our country could be the break that Ganja lovers here in the states and around the world have been cautiously hoping for for years.
Obviously we as “heads” would hope that our right to free speech would be honored as we as a whole campaign to get people out to vote for the election in November. One such avenue of free speech that we would hope would be available to us as “heads” is the use of social networking sites to help raise awareness, passion, and action for the cause of marijuana decriminalization. This is especially important with respect to getting the youth to vote in California for Prop 19.
Unfortunately, the hot news in weed world, or shall we say anti-weed world, today deals specifically with our country’s biggest social networking website’s unwillingness to run advertisements by Action Groups like Just Say Now who are supporting pro-legalization efforts in California and around the country.
Today it was announced via news sites that Facebook is actively blocking pro-marijuana legalization advertisements. So much for a level playing field!
At Ganja Outpost, it doesn’t surprise us that Facebook would take actions to censor pro-marijuana efforts. For the first six months of our operations here at the Outpost we had a facebook account. We were excited to see people interacting with us via our facebook page, but we were put off by the fact that we couldn’t say the word Ganja, an intricate part of our company name by the way, in any of the setup, posting and everyday use of the site.
After some privacy concerns caught our attention a few months back, we at the Outpost decided to stop using Facebook in our efforts to connect with you. We would love to use facebook, but the reality that they are decidedly anti-pot doesn’t quite sit well with us and we hope that some of you out there agree.
Please do your part this election season to get people you know in Cali to get out and vote on Prop 19. While you’re at it you may want to think real hard about your own time on Facebook.

Hello Outpost Fans!
Ganja Outpost and Outpost Clothing are proud to announce the grand re-opening of the smuggler’s tales section of our website. After a lot of interest from our site visitors in our Smuggler’s Tales section, and plenty of questions about when more stories would be coming, we figured that many of you would enjoy an expanded section on the life and adventures of Skip Steele.
After convincing Skip to provide us with more material, we have put together the beginnings of a more interactive smuggler’s tales section of Ganja Outpost. We hope that many of you who asked us for more info on Skip and his Caribbean crew will find this new section enjoyable and will let us know what you think.
In the new tales, look for a visual tour of the boats that the Caribbean pot smuggling crews used back in the day, a tour of the cast that was responsible for some of those first loads of sativa out of the South American mainland, and a new interactive feature where our guests can submit questions to be answered by Skip when he has some extra time.
Connect with us here on our blog or on our social networking to let us know what you think of the new expanded tales menu.
Keep truckin everybody…

Maui Wowie being print!
Outpost Clothing is proud to announce new marijuana shirts direct from our factory.
After a great round of printing, we now have Maui Wowie, Grower, Smoke Colombian and our new design Natural Foods that will be ready for purchase in the coming days!
Take a look at some of our shirts being print in the pictures on this post.
We are so stoked to get these new front print designs to our loyal fans!
Thanks for the support everyone!!!!
Natural Foods going through the dryer!
We have learned a lot about t-shirts and what people want over the past six months here at Ganja Outpost. We greatly appreciate the feedback that we have received from our loyal customers about our marijuana and counter culture designed shirts.
As you may have read in an earlier posting on this blog, we are currently in the process of changing our logo to be more public-friendly for customers everywhere. Feedback about our logo on our marijuana t-shirts is the most heavily commented issue here at Outpost Clothing.
However, the second most requested issue that we have been hearing from you, our great counter-culture customer deals with printing our designs on bigger shirts.
In response to this, Outpost Clothing will begin to offer 2xl shirts in the coming months, and will expand into offering 3xl shirts in the not too distant future.
We appreciate everyone who has contacted us via email to let us know how we can get better here at the Outpost. Keep the thoughts coming and join our discussion here on this blog!!!!
Ganja Outpost is happy to announce that our shirts are available for sale at the fine retailer Alice in Hulaland in one of the best places on the planet: Paia, Maui.
Hurry up and get down to Alice in Hulaland! Check out some of our great gear in person today and say Aloha to the friendly staff!!!!
What better place to buy your Maui Wowie Shirt than on the slopes of Haleakala in Paia town, Maui.

When we first opened our doors to the world about six months ago, it was with excited curiosity that we dove into the t-shirt manufacturing retail business.
The love and passion that we have for our classic marijuana inspired designs was firmly rooted in the originality and history surrounding the artwork. As the winds of destiny would have it, the lives of us at Ganja Outpost have been intertwined with one of America’s original Ganja Smugglers of the 1970’s. After taking big risks early in his life and living to tell the tale we finally convinced him to allow us to relate his story and turn what was a private collection of artwork based around his early exploits into a clothing and artwork line.
When we first launched the line, we did so with a simple, in-your-face marijuana leaf logo. (Seen below)
Our first Logo
After the first print of shirts we quickly realized that not everyone was willing, or able for that matter, to be as brash and in the open with their love of ganja as we as the creators of the gear would have imagined. Unfortunately as we all know, the archaic laws that surround the gift that is cannabis preclude many of us from being able to voice our passion for bud.
In response to this, we knew that our second shirt print would have to include a logo for our newly formed company that could somehow stay true to our mission while providing a level of discretion for fans of our clothing. After a lot of creative tests, we finally settled on a logo and went to print with our first established line.
After launching our second logo our response was positively charged. MANY of you have expressed to us how much you love the combination of the hidden ganja leaf and tropical, bamboo-styled company branding. However, we have at the same time received messages from many of you who really love our classic marijuana and counter culture designs, but either can’t wear our shirts anywhere outside of your house without being hassled, or feel uncomfortable doing so in your towns and neighborhoods.
In short, it was quickly becoming clear to us at Ganja Outpost, that though so many of you love the artwork that we reproduce here at the Outpost, our branding had unexpectedly become a deterrent to your passion for our classic pot gear.
So what’s the outcome????
We listened to all of you!
We have redesigned our logo to allow any one of you out there to wear the hottest new counter culture gear available on the market. Our intention with the new logo was to create something that you can proudly wear anywhere from your local grocery store to a jam band concert with thousands of other like minded spirits. The logo is not nearly as pro-marijuana as our first logo designs, but we have the intention to use our new Outpost clothing logo to spark an underground association among heads who know that the hut on the beach serves a visual beacon for those who want to stand-up for the for all things counter-culture while still remaining at least moderately anonymous.
For those of you who really loved our original logo don’t fret! The original Ganja Outpost logo will continue to be offered in our online store on select shirts until all inventory for the old logo are totally sold out. So get your hands on them now! Also, for our hardcore fans, remember that you can still proudly wear any of our hardcore pot designs including the Marijuana Shirt and the Maui Wowie Shirt!
Let us know what you think!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Recently, Ganja Out
post was disappointed to hear about privacy concerns with accounts at Facebook. In response to this, we have decided to permanently delete our company Facebook page.
As many of you can imagine, we at Ganja Outpost highly value personal freedoms and privacy. Before setting up any social networking accounts for our company, we were definitely a bit hesitant. In fact, as many of you know, our company page was censored from its initiation as Facebook would not allow us to use the word “GANJA” as a tag in our profile name. That should have told us something right there.
We greatly appreciate the “Fans” of our Facebook page for communicating with us on there and hope you will follow along with us either here at our new blog or on our myspace page. We appreciate the ability to at least call our page what it is on myspace, as we can be found at http://www.myspace.com/ganjaoutpost.
I imagine that many of you who are reading this rank personal privacy pretty high on your list of social imperatives, as we do. Without privacy, our individuality and personal freedoms are sure to erode faster than the benefits of the instantaneous updates from your High School ex-girlfriend…
