This is Part Two of our interview with Joanne Naughton of LEAP, who had a 20-year career with the NYPD, followed by another successful career as a defense attorney and instructor to students of law enforcement. See Part One here. LEAP stands for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, and is a nonprofit group of experienced cops, judges, […]
We are really pleased to be able to publish this interview, which was recently conducted by phone with Felicity madly scribbling in the background. Big thanks to Joanne Naughton for her time and Darby Beck of LEAP for arranging it. LEAP, per our recent article, stands for Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, and is a nonprofit group […]
You’re seeing it more and more, although it’s been going on for well over a decade: Police: Man Severely Burned in Cannabis Oil Explosion Special Report: The Dangers of Hash Oil Production Hash Oil Explosions How Hash Oil Is Blowing Up Across the U.S. — Literally The words “hash oil explosion” are now becoming a […]
Even though I got so excited last Saturday at the High Times Cannabis Cup by all the dabs and hash oil pen vapes that I actually bought one, something that happened on Sunday that totally blew my mind. I ran into this cool guy called Grand Daddy Mike (and yes, he has a close connection […]
Just so much to say that it’s going to take a lot of articles! But since a picture is worth 1,000 words and all that, we figured we’d start you off with some teaser photos, so that’s like almost a book chapter right there LOL. Anyway, we’re going to have some in-depth coverage on all […]

OK, a bit of an exaggeration. Nevertheless, job-related stress did increase my consumption of alcohol from zero to a whiskey glass every time I came home from work. As I often don’t sleep well after drinking alcohol, I then turned to cannabis edibles and tinctures so that I could (hopefully) wake up fully rested before […]
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 […]

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, […]
