The famous rapper Watsky once said in one of his tracks, "Why don't we get high and watch planet Earth?" I believe we can do better. Why don't we get high and watch planet Earth from another planet? A couple of years ago, the popular cannabis magazine HIGH TIMES announced they'd partnered up with Mars One - the controversial space colonization project - in the hopes of someday introducing marijuana production and use on the red planet.

Little information has come through since the announcement, but that hasn't deterred others from trying as well. For example, American beer company Budweiser just announced they, too, are aiming for Mars.

"Budweiser is upholding its commitment to be the first beer on Mars by confirming upcoming experiments on the International Space Station with plans to send and study barley – one of its key ingredients – into space in early December. The reason? Earlier this year at the South by Southwest conference, Budweiser announced its goal to be the first beer on Mars – offering a colonized red planet the same enjoyments provided here on earth, including fresh beer!"

First stop is the International Space Station (ISS). Before colonists can enjoy a cold brew on the Martian surface, the company needs to first get a better understanding as to how their ingredients will react when subjected to microgravity conditions. And with SpaceX's scheduled launch on December 4 for the ISS, Budweiser plans on coming along for the ride.
