The Remarkable Pleasure Of Coffee & Cannabis
I love mornings. I didn’t used to love them but these days my day doesn’t so much “start” as spark to life. My morning routine feels a lot like the lights suddenly going on inside a factory. That’s the caffeine in the coffee of course but even more than that? It’s the cannabis. I hope…

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”…

Why Are We All So Addicted To Our Own Bullshit? Easy — We’re Addicted To It BECAUSE It’s “Ours”…
I almost learned the hard way how addicted I was to bullshit. My bullshit nearly killed me. For real. Long story short, I kept a secret from myself for 45 years — that I was molested (twice) when I was 14. If I think of my hypomanic mind as a black box theater filled with…

An Ode To The Civilizing Influence Of Cannabis
As I write this, I’m waiting for the final bowl of my nighttime meds (I started with Skywalker then finished with a bowl of Godfather with a little Afghani sprinkled on top. In a few minutes the combined effects of those strains should fuse into a feeling of delicious, creamy sleepiness that I can surrender…

Dispatches From The War On Drugs — Is That Marijuana We Smell? Or “Surrender”?
I took marijuana to an airport yesterday — out in the open. Here’s what happened… I never imagined I would become a warrior in the War On Drugs. I definitely never imagined that cannabis would touch my life so profoundly that I’d take up its cause with a Kamakazi’s zeal. For reference’s sake — I…

It’s CRIMINAL That Cannabis Was Ever Criminalized
I believe — actual life experience being my data set — that my life is better in myriad ways with cannabis IN it than WITHOUT it. If I separate my personal experience with cannabis from cannabis’ story here in America (its demonization and prohibition for entirely racist reasons), I see a natural product — minimally…

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…

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…

Help! We’re Living Inside A False Narrative & Can’t Get Out!
From the moment we “accepted” that Donald Trump had “won” the presidency, we’ve been living inside a False Narrative — that Donald Trump won. The implications have been devastating. From the get-go, Trump himself has defensively knee-jerked the word “legitimate” into the conversation. As in “No collusion, my presidency’s legitimate!” If Trump wasn’t a serial…
