Musings On Marijuana
I didn’t start out a pot guy. When I was in high school back in the 70’s, marijuana was around. A guy I was friendly with was a hard core stoner; he stank of weed in class and watched us all with a strange, pleased detachment I now recognize as euphoria. On the occasions when […]

Sports & Cannabis — It’s Not A Good Thing, It’s A GREAT Thing
America’s sports leagues are walking point on some very important realizations we’re all having about cannabis. The NFL, MLB, the NBA and the NHL no longer punish athletes for using cannabis. As ESPN put it, league attitudes — at the rules & regs level — is now officially “whatever”. The leagues — all still holding […]

Each & Every One Of Us Is Making It Up As We Go Along — Every Day; Why Not Own It?
I’ve told this story here before. Three days before Christmas 2016, I came within inches of bullshitting myself to death. That’s how I thought of it not long afterward — after driving straight to my doctor’s office and pretty much demanding that he write me a prescription for the mood stabilizer I had researched and […]

Cannabis + Creativity = Productivity
The first time a budtender told me that sativas would give me mental energy, I looked at him like a dog asking a question. Say what? What does that even mean — “mental energy”?

Not A Revelation: The War On Drugs Was An Exercise In Naked Racism Top To Bottom
I’ll apologize up front for doing a little cross pollination here — citing the series I just finished over at weedmapsnews.com: “Blunt Truths“. It’s about the deep down dirty truth behind the 100% pure racist illegalization of cannabis. At no point in the process did anyone EVER ask the question “But, is cannabis actually bad […]

America Is Still Dealing With Its ‘Original Sin’: We Screwed Up On Slavery
If you really think about it — and you don’t have to think too hard — an awful lot of our current debate about racism in this country is as old as the Republic itself. When the Founders of this Republic sat down to hash out what this country was and what it wasn’t, what […]

Most Marijuana Research Is BULLSHIT
Durban Poison is our Friend. I am biased as hell. Yessirree. I am an out-and-out advocate for MARIJUANA. More transparency — I now write a weekly column (for $) at marijuana.com — and I urge you to check them out — they’re now THE site to go-to for real news about marijuana. More transparency — […]

Drinking Culture Vs Cannabis Culture: We’ve Got It COMPLETELY Upside Down…
Long story short: A few days before Christmas 2016, I not only ‘flirted with suicide’, I stared long and hard into its eyes. I was lucky — and walked away alive. The medication that helped me walk away alive – Lamotrigine – is mainly used as an anti-seizure med for epilepsy sufferers; anecdotal observations suggested […]
