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 […]

I Love Cannabis The Way I Used To Love Wine – Except It’s Waaaaaaaaay Better
I have experienced remarkable red wines and savored every moment I had with them. I have shivered cos my martini was so splendidly cold. I have sat over dinner and desert in a Bronxville, NY sun porch while the air inside it got heavy with the smell of apples from an open bottle of private […]

Alcohol On Airplanes Was NEVER A Good Idea Actually; Now, Cannabis, On The Other Hand…
On May 29, American Airlines joined Southwest Airlines in suspending alcohol sales on their aircraft. Southwest did it because its passengers were becoming increasingly abusive over mask issues and when those abusive passengers started drinking… . We live in alcohol culture’s thrall the same way we used to live in Big Tobacco’s thrall. It wasn’t […]

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 […]

Alcohol + A Pandemic = Terrible Decision-Making
I stopped drinking alcohol just over four years ago. I didn’t “have to” per se, but the mood stabilizer I started taking gives all alcohol a grapefruit skin-like aftertaste making it completely unpalatable. Given a choice between drinking and not being depressed, I’ll take the latter, thanks. And anyway — it’s not like consuming alcohol […]

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 […]

I Went To America’s First Ever Licensed Cannabis Café Yesterday – And It Was AWESOME!
As good as a deep, inky red wine pairs with a steak or champagne with oysters, it’s nothing compared to how well cannabis pairs with EVERYTHING. Not only does cannabis give you the munchies (there’s a reason it’s a great medicine for people with eating issues or whose appetites have been impacted by chemo), it […]

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”? If you’ve never experienced cannabis — or only ever experienced indicas (which make up the overwhelming majority of cannabis strains) — […]
