Damned But Not Doomed
There are times when America really does seem doomed. That is, our democratic republic seems doomed to finish its run atop history’s ash heap. A great idea kneecapped by racism, greed and just plain stupidity. The GOP‘s relentless attempts – any which way they can – to stop all oversight, investigation and prosecution of their…

Why E Pluribus Unum Matters
Most Americans – if they think about the country’s founding – focus on “All men are created equal”. Alas, when our founders wrote those words, they didn’t mean them. Oh, they meant the “men” part.

America Needs A Trump-ectomy
Dear Donald Trump: America is soooooooo done with you. Stone cold fact: the majority of us despise the man. He couldn’t win a popular vote if his bloated, orange life depended on it.

When You Consider How Many People Now Drive “Stoned” And How Many Accidents There AREN’T…
It’s not exactly shocking that exactly none of the big fears opponents of cannabis legalization predicted came true. The biggest: Western Civilization did not fall. Oh, Western Civ may yet go a-swirling down the plumbing of History, but, if and when we do, it won’t be cannabis that caused it. Greed maybe – and bucketloads…

An Ode To Durban Poison
I love me a good sativa. I love starting my day – even before that first sip of coffee – with a hit of something that will fill my head with focus. That’s what sativas do for me. Especially the first hit of the morning. Coffee jolts one awake. The caffeine buzz is like pure…
