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…

It’s 4/20 — Here’s Why I Celebrate Having Cannabis In My Life
It tickles the hell out of me that marijuana has its own day in our collective consciousness. It tickles the hell out of me that I have the relationship with cannabis that I do — and I do have a “relationship” with cannabis. I use it from the start of my day to the very…

Never Mind Walking A Mile In Someone Else’s Shoes, Try Seeing The World Through Their Eyes
The reason organizations like the ASPCA use pleading, wide-eyed dogs in their fundraising appeals is because they work. Maybe those people who fear photography captures something of their souls are on to something. Even a photo of a pleading animal’s eyes touches us deeply (as compared to the actual animal itself, pleading directly to it…

Let’s Play “Desert Island Cannabis Strain”! I’ll Go First…
In the style of that great BBC radio show “Desert Island Discs” — where each week’s guest “is asked to choose eight recordings (usually, but not always, music), a book and a luxury item that they would take if they were to be cast away on a deserted island” — I propose a show where,…

America’s RW Is Treating Guns The Exact Same Way They Once Treated Cannabis — As The Basis For Their RACISM
I sure hope this isn’t up for debate: America’s war on drugs, especially its war on cannabis, was always about RACISM and nothing but. I refer you to an excellent series (okay — I wrote it — I’m biased) called Blunt Truths over at Weedmaps News. Blunt Truths points out (with receipts) how at no…

When It Comes To Cannabis, I’m Strain Specific
I approach cannabis from the point of view of “What do I want cannabis to do for me right now?”. In the world of legalized cannabis, that should be the operating principle. To think cannabis is only good for “getting high” is very old fashioned thinking. And very misinformed. While the labels “indica” & “sativa”…

My Cannabis Journey: How THC Is Saving My Life Every Day
Okay — that’s probably hyperbole. I could remove THC from my life and continue living exactly as I am. But, because I live in California, I have a choice — and I choose to use cannabis for a boatload of very good reasons. I turned to cannabis as a last resort. I wasn’t a big…
