Well, it’s official. Felicity and I are both going to the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup on June 22 and 23, 2013. We’re hoping to meet (and maybe even smoke with) some of you folks in person, talk about anything, give out swag (buttons, stickers, lighters), have a great time, and not green out! Oh [...]

Tuesday, June 12, Is “Betty Buy Day”
Well, folks, I’ve been teasing you for awhile now about Betty’s Little Basement Garden with all the interview stuff, but there wasn’t much more I could do before the official release today. But now it’s officially out, so before I give you the details on a special free offer, please read this letter from Laurel [...]

The Great Cannabis Oil Experiment
It’s one of those questions that’s been disputed for years in cannabis circles: what’s the best temperature to use? Whether the subject in question is decarboxylating, making firecrackers, cannabis oil, or glycerin tincture, everyone seems to have a different opinion. Well, I have lots of opinions myself, but I prefer facts. So I decided to [...]
This Mysterious Package Arrived on 4/20
This cat doesn’t know it, but he might be sitting next to the most important advance in cannabis processing since the discovery of decarboxylation. Yes, I’m teasing you. But I’m teasing myself too, because it really did show up weeks ago, and it’s driven me nuts because I’ve been too busy writing (yes, that book [...]

Cannaoil Experiment Results
As I previously wrote, a week or so ago I began some experiments to find out if infusing coconut oil with cannabis worked differently at different temperatures. Methodology Oil: 118°F, 140°F, 180°F, 220°F, 260°F, 300°F Each batch was made as identically as possible, using 2 tablespoons of coconut oil and 0.5 grams decarbed weed (Super [...]

THC Deterioration In Cannabis Confectionery
About six or seven weeks ago, I rediscovered a package of Cosmic Caramels tucked away in the refrigerator that had basically been sitting there for 2½ years. They worked just like they originally did; same effects, same strength, the whole bit. I’ve been slicing off pieces of the last caramel every week or so, as part [...]
How To Make Old Hippie’s AVB Pot Pizza
I am very gratified that so many people love and appreciate my cannabis cooking recipes ( How To Blast Off with Nutella Firecrackers is currently closing in on There’s No Such Thing As Marijuana for the top all-time article here). But I figure that almost everything can be improved, so that’s why I came up with this [...]

A Lot of Controversy Over A Molecule Or Two
It’s been said, “The devil is in the details”. It’s true that it’s devilish work to get everything perfectly right, and I do try, but I don’t claim to be perfect. But still, it’s a worthy goal to be as correct as possible, when people are depending on what you write. So I often agonize [...]
Breaking News: Steve Kubby Ends Long Activist Career
Tonight I was contacted by a colleague I’ve worked with on a number of projects, who is a bit more well-connected in the marijuana activist community than I am. He had gotten a surprising and very frank and heartfelt email from Steve Kubby, saying that Steve was planning to leave not only the entire marijuana [...]

Marijuana Is Now Legal In Colorado!
Actually, I started this article last Thursday night and the title actually said “Washington” then. But I got so excited for them being the first state to experience legalization that I hit the old vape a little too hard and couldn’t actually finish. I haven’t written anything in a few weeks, mostly because I’ve been [...]
Cannabis Is Part of Our Society
Ever since Prohibition was repealed, the ongoing excuse to keep alcohol and tobacco legal (as opposed to marijuana) is because they’re “part of our society”. Never mind the huge ongoing death toll from smoking, long-term alcohol abuse and drunk driving. Well, millions of Americans use cannabis every day too. It is also part of our [...]
How To Beat a Urine Test for THC
If you’re looking for a job or trying to keep your current one while taking your state-approved medical marijuana, drug tests are a constant source of worry. We don’t believe people should be judged on the chemical content of their urine, but the content of their minds and the conduct of their character. I recently [...]

Phenibut: A Novel Substance Against Stress, Anxiety, and Panic
A friend of mine told me about Phenibut, so I did some online research, and it sounded too good to be true. Phenibut combines tranquilizing effects, reduction of stress and anxiety, improvement of impaired sleep, and even anti-convulsant and anti-PTSD effects, while being legal in the U.S. and almost totally free from side effects. In short, [...]
Cannabis-Induced Hypotension In a 61-Year-Old Male
That’s probably how I’d write this afternoon’s antics up if I were one of those NEJM guys. So I was hanging out with Felicity and one of our friends, T-Res. T-Res had showed up with a little container of Cherry Pie “and some hash”. T-Res is a very, very calm guy, the kind who’s seen serious shit [...]
Happy Birthday to Weedist!
Today is the first anniversary of the establishment of Weedist.com, a really high-quality website that I’ve had the privilege of writing and editing for since last summer. From the usual fingers-crossed beginnings of any new site, they’re rapidly turning into a destination site for news and feature articles. Best of luck for the future, Weedists, [...]

Old Hippie’s Rainbow Stash
This started out so simply. I spotted this cool colorful bunch of containers at The Dollar Tree and figured it was worth $1 to hold some of the miscellaneous strains I have around in small quantities. But then I got it home and thought…”Whoa…purple: Purple Kush!” Then I said “I have some Blue Dream around [...]
