Question: What’s The Proper Cannabis Strain To Go With A Coronavirus Quarantine? Answer: Pretty Much ANY Cannabis strain
You know shit’s strange when real time is as plastic and fungible as time while you’re high. I don’t think it’s just me. The deeper we’ve plunged into the coronavirus quarantine, the weirder “time” has become. If you smoke as much dope as I do, you’re kinda used to thinking suddenly “Wait– where am I?…

Dispatches From The Apocalypse (Well, Los Angeles During Coronavirus)…
Of all the places to sit out the Coronavirus Apocalypse, Los Angeles may be one of the better places. The weather should be reliably good by April. We’ll have some June gloom in May but that just means the marine layer takes a little longer to burn off in the morning than the rest of…

The Cannabis Lifestyle: “Platforming” Vs “Cocktailing”
My day begins with cannabis and it ends with cannabis. That’s not hyperbole. Medically (and I keep up my prescription because — even though I do recreate with cannabis — it is, to me, first and foremost a legitimate “medicine” that successfully treats a host of very real physical and mental ailments. Consequently, I’m very…

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 & Productivity Go Together Like Cannabis & Feeling Good
I’ve written here before about my cannabis story. I wasn’t a fan in high school. Cannabis (if that’s what I was really smoking) put me to sleep. That didn’t appeal to me as a kid. So, I avoided cannabis in favor of alcohol, cocaine and, occasionally ecstasy. Depression made sleep hard to come by as…

Cannabis & Sports Go Together Better Than You Think
I started using cannabis to play tennis about 2 years ago. I wish I had started way sooner. I bet I would have enjoyed tennis a hell of a lot more. I don’t mean because I’d be playing high. I’m not sure why anyone would want to do that. I don’t use cannabis to get…

More Notes From A Former Drinker — Drinking Culture Wouldn’t Be Half So Stupid If People Learned “How To Drink”
Want to feel like a social leper? Decline an offer of alcohol from your host — whose whole experience of you is as a drinker. I might as well have said I’d turned cannibal and wanted to eat him. “You’re not drinking?” “No. Had to stop, remember — my mood stabilizer makes alcohol taste like…

Notes From A Former Drinker — Drinking Culture Is Really, Really, REALLY Stupid
Perspective is the damnedest thing. For the overwhelming majority of my adult life, I was a drinker. I never thought of myself as an alcoholic though I drank at least 2 glasses of wine every day. Religiously. I prided myself on making not merely a good martini but a great one (I still do as…

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) —…

Bullshit In History — It’s Only “A War On Drugs” If You’re Not White
There never ever was a “war on drugs” in America. There was however a war on drug USERS. Still is. But let’s be clear — no one ever waged that war because they worried about anyone’s health or any impact drugs might be having on it. The “War On Drugs” launched by Richard Nixon in…
