It’s called the Law Of Unintended Consequences, also known as “what happens when a bunch of ignorant legislators try to interfere with people’s lives without having a clue.” According to a press release apparently from the Retail Compliance Association (a trade association for sellers of “synthetic marijuana”, a.k.a. “spice”), eight states, including Texas, Wisconsin, and […]
And by trip, I mean I hit [13]. Yes, folks, I done it again. And by “it”, I mean I once again ventured forth to Magnolia Wellness for Uncle Buck’s by now surely world-famous cannabis cooking class. But this time he wasn’t cooking anything. He was making smoothies, using protein powder and blueberries and honey yogurt and […]
Enough already. There’s been too many deaths, too many ruined lives, too much money spent. For what? More people abuse both recreational and pharmaceutical drugs than ever before. Let’s jam the White House comment line! You know how you’d love to tell “them” what you think? Now’s your chance. Lots of good info and talking […]
When I wrote the article about my first year as a medical marijuana patient, it got the attention of the folks at The 420 Times, and they had their feature writer do a (really cool, IMHO) interview with me, which you can read here. (Yes, I know I write for them, but the coincidence of […]
I’ve started an interesting series on The 420 Times where I compare various substances — including their uses, effects, and side effects — to cannabis (a.k.a. medical marijuana). I’ve been surprised myself by the fact that even FDA-approved, over-the-counter, so-called “harmless” drugs like Benadryl have caused any number of serious side effects, up to and […]

Status: Depression: gone Arthritis/Body aches: gone High blood pressure: gone Anxiety/panic attacks: gone Snapping at people for no damn reason: gone Side effects noted: happier in general, high sometimes, feel younger almost […]
A while ago, I published my story of making and eating Nutella-based firecrackers (those wonderful little edibles you can make any time without making the kitchen smell like weed). Well, it turns out that MrDubious, the Ent who made an awesome illustrated guide to making Nutella firecrackers has now used my article to update his […]
Isn’t our government supposed to defend our freedoms? If “terrorists are trying to take away our freedoms”, doesn’t that make a LOT of politicians terrorists? — Kallin
It’s not just medical marijuana patients anymore. It’s a hard-working former U.S. Marine who was shot 60 times, then denied medical attention until he died. It’s the U.S Government slapping down Texas legislators attempting to do something about the TSA invasive body scans and “patdowns”. It’s a Hispanic man in California sent to prison for […]
This is kind of another one of those second-guessing games. According to news reports, Randy Savage was found dead after a car crash, which (it’s suspected) occurred after he had a heart attack. He was exactly my age (to the year, anyway). And what makes this so spooky is that it’s less than two weeks […]
