It’s probably just a coincidence that the Federal Government declared war on California medical marijuana patients the day after Steve Jobs died, but perhaps there’s more to it than we know. CelebStoner.com is reporting that Steve Jobs considered using medical marijuana to treat his cancer after reading studies of its effectiveness in killing cancer cells […]

How To Cannabinize Yourself To Prevent Marijuana Deficiency
Recently, I began a light detoxifying regimen, meant to gently clean out “stuff” that’s built up in my body over the last six decades without causing undue gastric distress (the dreaded “colon cleanse”). As I’m pretty sensitive to the effects of everything going on in my body, I noticed an inability to focus and mental […]
Ask Old Hippie: What’s a Body High?
Dear Old Hippie: Can you clarify what people mean by a “body high”? I’ve been high a bunch of times, but I’ve only experienced an intense “body high” that one time I smoked White Widow, and have yet to match it. Every time I’d do an action like swing my arm or touch something, I […]
Ask Old Hippie: Will Cranberry Juice Help You Pass A Drug Test?
Dear Old Hippie: I have heard that in many cases you can flush your system with cranberry juice. Is this true? I am eligible for a medicinal marijuana card in Ontario, but before I had the diagnoses that helped me and made it so I was eligible, I consumed cannabis on occasion to deal with […]
Ask Old Hippie: Am I Addicted To Weed?
Q: I recently had a bad breakup which triggered some latent depression, anxiety, and nausea, which are all pretty severe. A few months later I discovered weed, and it is the perfect cure for all three. I’ve tried lots of other drugs, but if they had any effect at all, it was subtle and unsatisfying. […]
Ask Old Hippie: Why Am I Waking Up Sick After Going To Bed Stoned?
Q: What’s up? I’m from Austin and I’ve been smoking for about 2 years now and I was wondering if the reefer can physically make you sick, because I’ve been waking up every morning sick and I always go to bed stoned. Could it be the reefer that’s doing that or is it most likely […]
Ask Old Hippie: How Have Words About Marijuana Changed Since The Sixties?
We never heard of “smoking out” or “smoking up” anyone. It was “getting high with”, “turning on”, “smoking grass with”. We called it “grass” among ourselves; “pot” was something parents or news media said. Nobody ever said “marijuana” unless they were talking to an authority figure or were being cute. “Turn on”, of course, was […]
Ask Old Hippie: How Has Marijuana Changed Since The Sixties?
Nugs? Buds? Never heard of them. All we ever saw was ground-up powdery stuff or crushed leaves (and twigs, and seeds…often all mushed together in what’s called “brick” today). Sometimes we saw little pieces of crushed flower, and we were amazed: it was actual proof that it came from an actual plant! Even on the […]
I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Cannabis Ice Cream!
Well, it’s Friday, so I’ve survived yet another of Uncle Buck’s cooking classes, which are held on occasional Thursdays at Magnolia Wellness. This time, it didn’t involve cooking so much as waiting…waiting for the homemade ice cream to freeze! Sure, you can just drop some cannabis tincture on a cup or cone of ice cream, […]
