Readers — especially readers — you’re in for a real treat over the next few weeks. About six months ago, a mysterious individual started writing to me here on Beyond Chronic, making some very astute comments on some of my posts. We eventually began corresponding by email, and sharing our knowledge and love of cannabis. She […]
Of course, first you must understand what kief is and why you’d want to press it…! If you’re looking for what I call the “goodies” (THC, CBD, and the other cannabinoids) from the cannabis plant, the most concentrated amount of them are on the tiny, stalk-like trichomes or resin glands found on the flowers. These […]
Well, it’s been a little over a year since the last time I made weed firecrackers, and last night I thought I would try again. Except that the last time was quite a trip, and I sort of wanted to avoid that kind of drama, as I just wanted the effects and not the excitement. So […]
It’s here, as promised. The full, slightly revised PDF version of last week’s series of articles, with 4 dozen clickable footnotes. The official title of the paper is The Top 5 Myths About Medical Marijuana and you can get it just by clicking on the link. Boil it, mash it, stick it in a stew. No, […]
In the July 2011 issue of The 420 Times, I finally reveal the secrets of growing your own medical marijuana legally in California, based largely on research I’ve done for my buddy The Ninja Grower. It’s the first of a four-month series where I take you as a complete newbie through all the equipment you […]
Cannabis (medical marijuana) can be a perfectly good and safe medicine when used correctly. But there are always people who find fault with everything, and they complain: It’s unsafe (not really) It’s illegal (not in 16 states) It’s not effective (that’s not what dozens of studies have shown) People will pretend they are sick to […]
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 […]
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 […]
Many medical marijuana dispensaries sell Canna Caps, which has quickly become a generic name for any capsule filled with cannabis since its association with the groundbreaking work of Dr. Paul Hornby. Dr. Hornby’s original idea was for Canna Caps to have standardized doses of THC, and all ingredients tested for pesticides, heavy metals, and other […]
OHCULS (pronounced Oh, coolz!) is an inexpensive, efficient grow light system intended for small closet grows for individual, legal medical marijuana patients (not for “grow ops” or commercial-scale setups). Heat and electricity usage is minimal, so it makes things simpler than almost any other method. The OHCULS concept will work with any indoor growing setup, not […]
