I’ve been buying weed since the early nineties, when you’d get it direct from the friend of the grower, (or the grower himself if you’re discreet, and lucky.) Back then it came in a sandwich baggie if you were buying just an eighth or a quarter. Ziplocks were even considered overkill. An ounce might be […]
Quoting straight from Marijuana Moment, a email newsletter about all the latest eponymous things legislatively interesting. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said, in criticizing the new COVID stimulus legislation, that “your money is also being sent to San Francisco where it will be spent giving alcohol and marijuana to the homeless.” We agree, Kevin, […]
Weed has always been a panacea for me. It soothes a frenzied, worried, critical internalized voice and it works almost like magic. I’m currently in the midst (week 8) of Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way, a self- directed course, for the second time. It’s a twelve week study in unblocking The Creative Artist Within all […]
Mayo clinic posted some resources about dealing with anxiety – and rather than be offended that someone is dismissive of my claim, instead, I felt heard, and hopeful. But, I gotta admit to myself that weed is an amplifier sometimes. “So when you hear “it’s an anxiety disorder,” don’t despair or think no one is […]
Sometimes, there is nothing better than having it all, and just relishing in that delicious abundance. Smoking a bowl while in the shower is how I purposely bring this feeling on, and while it’s not an everyday thang…it is pretty fun. You have to position the giant raindrop style shower head (yea, the one that […]
Reading advice columnists has always been amusing to me. When I was little, I’d turn directly to the Dear Abby section, near the classifieds and the funnies, and today (although online) I do seek out Dan Savage, and a few others. Slate’s advice columnist for the Care and Feeding piece was a huge disappointment to […]
At about 4:50am on Saturday morning I hear Wade’s collar tags clinking around on ceramic, as if he is licking his dog bowl. When I get up to check out what he is doing, he is hunkered down by the patio door. I take a closer look but can’t really tell. Has he gotten ahold […]
I would not argue that I am addicted to pot. But what purpose that addiction serves, is the question. To me, and my shrink, it’s not about whether I’m addicted or not, it’s about why I’m using and what it does for me. My shrink and I talk a lot about the reasons I get […]
In the summer between the sixth and seventh grade, I was a member of the United Methodist Church Youth Group in Fallbrook, California. (Which is The Avocado Capital of the World, FYI.) We used to take vanloads of youth to Disneyland like it was Wal*Mart, which is to say, frequently, and without much fanfare or […]
If that’s not mainstream, I don’t know what is. Whether or not marijuana is legal in your state, medically or recreationally matters not, because CBD is the non-psychoactive component of this controversial plant. These days, that means that the nationwide Bed Bath & Beyond can capitalize on all the “all natural” attention getting virtues of […]
