This year, for April Fool’s Day 2025, we decided it was time we started our own genre-focused bookshop.
Not a new idea, we know – but what if it were also a dispensary?!
Introducing Smart Bitches Dispensary & Bookshop!
Did I have way too much fun looking at slang terms for weed? Oh, yes.
And did I also have too much fun looking at the names of weed strains? For sure.
Are HEA Flower, Danger Boner Devil’s Lettuce, and Ganja Grumpy & Sunshine Stash real strains? I WISH.
Was I particularly tickled by the phrase “Tree-BR?” Absolutely.
We always want you to have personalized recommendations, whether it’s reading or weeding!
Special thanks to Last Prisoner Project for statistics on cannabis arrests and sales revenue. I’ve made a donation in honor of this momentous occasion and dedicated it to all of you.
Happy April 1st, everyone. I hope this brought a smile to your face!
Want to look back at some of our past April Fool’s editions? Here are a few of my favorites:
In 2023: Amanda and I were co-executive producers of The Bookshelf, where readers move into a luxurious mansion and collaborate (not compete) to find their OTPR – their one true perfect read.
In 2022: we had some turgid hotwallets with our own cryptocurrency, BitchCoin!
In 2021, we created the Smart Bitches Smart Device! It’ll track your reading and embeefen your wifi while picking fights with other appliances that aren’t getting the job done.
We’ve fallen in love with rabbits, and made our own social media network in 2014 complete with hoax-detection technology (wow, wish that had been real).
And still, one of my all-time most-favorite April Fool’s Day inventions?
Our 2015 Time-stopping wearable device that doubles as a reader, pedometer, page counter, audio device, sale alarm, and timekeeper.
I can’t tell you how much I wish the stop time wearable was real.
Maybe next year I’ll have to do “Smart Bitches Spaceship” so we can go into low orbit for reading time.
We’ll be back next year with more silliness, but until then, Happy April, folks.
See you next year!
I laughed and laughed–thank you for that! Also, sign me up 😉
Good work, y’all!
I love this and also I’ve never wanted anything to be more true. Thanks for all the amazing April fools jokes over the years!
You have outdone yourself this year! Bravo!
That was fun! Thank you for brightening my day.
Thank you!!! I’m so happy it made y’all smile.
I landed on this site when I was only half awake this morning and I was super confused for a good two minutes at least. Happy April Fools!
I was waiting to see what the SBTB April Fools joke was going to be! I told my friend Alaskan Thunderfuck should be a the title of a romance novel and she told me it’s a real strain of weed?? Anyway, A+ to the SBTB team. 🙂
