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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
So it turns out I have insomnia, and like a large number of other people I’ve found that medical marijuana is very good for taking care of my symptoms. Out like a light in 15 just about every time, if I hit the vape 3 or 4 times, rather than the two tokes I take […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 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 […]
St. Murphy was certainly smiling down upon us yesterday. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong…almost (hey, the car’s still running and we’re still alive…that’s the important stuff, right?) Felicity chose to minimize negativity in her recollections of our trip, which is definitely a personal step forward for her, but on the way home, […]
Old Hippie and I decided to see what was happening in Oakland and San Francisco for 4/20. First stop was the Oakland Marriott where the 2nd annual Psychedelic Science conference was being held. These are serious researchers presenting real scientific studies, not wishful thinking types of people. Sponsored in part by Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic […]
