I’ve been writing fewer articles lately, and one of the reasons is that some time ago I started to judge myself more (yeah, I know…I probably need more cannabis!), so now I tend to write longer and more heavily edited articles. So this is my attempt to break that habit. Last year (wow, is it […]

Burning Through Cannabis, Stress, and Biphasic Dose Response
I had occasion to observe two interesting phenomena of cannabis consumption in the last 24 hours. Neither one was particularly new to me, but it occurred to me that I may not have explicitly described or explained them in the past, so I thought they might help someone understand a bit more about how cannabis […]
In The Freezer, And What Felicity Found There
So Felicity was rummaging through our freezer, and among some ancient burger buns and frozen cilantro, she uncovered a forgotten container with 3/4 pound of cannabutter, dated January 2014. That makes it just about 3 1/2 years old. We’ve been performing metabolic testing on the contents for over a week now, and it seems to […]
Max THC Headroom and Coconut Oil
Someone on Reddit just asked me a question, one that I’ve heard many times before in different ways, and my answer has always been “I don’t really know”. But the more I thought about it, the confuseder I got. The question was, “What’s the maximum amount of THC you can dissolve in vegetable oil (like […]
How We Combat Pain Using Cannabis
As a heart patient, I follow a specific protocol if I think I’m having a heart attack. Felicity has asthma, and she has her own protocol for escalating her medications when she has an asthma attack or allergic reaction. Both of these have as their final destination the emergency room, or at least a call […]
Product Review: tCheck Cannabis Oil Potency Tester
We have been making our own infused butter and oils – and teaching other people how to make, use, and dose themselves – for well over six years now. We’ve even come up with a formula to calculate how much THC is theoretically in your homemade oil, but there’s never been a reasonably affordable way […]
Testing Some Glass Without Falling On My Ass
My buddy T-Res came over for an afternoon of fun and frolic. We were supposed to chill for awhile then see the new Star Trek movie, but product testing intervened…
OH’s Law Of Cannabis Edible Potency
OH’s Law Of Cannabis Edible Potency People have been asking me quite a bit lately “How the ^%#@! do I figure out the potency of home-made capsules or edibles?” So I thought I’d sit down (after one of my own capsules kicked in) and write it up once and for all. Yes, the title is […]
It’s Harvest Time! Buy Your Buds Now
Now, my friends, is the time to buy buds and other fresh material. Why, you may ask? – because October and November is harvest time for outdoor cannabis plants, at least here in California. Using Leafly.com, Weedmaps, and the websites of individual dispensaries that we have visited previously and liked, we research who has what […]
Felicity and the Green Tentacles
So today Felicity was under some stress. She was dealing with a sick cat, our son getting ready to go off to college, and some financial stuff (which she hates doing, but she’s really good at it). When under stress, her “special ability” kicks in, and she begins releasing stored cannabinoids. But the financial stuff […]
