Different strains of medicinal cannabis not only look and taste different, but have different effects on your body and mind.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
We’ve been pretty quiet lately…this is part of the reason why. I hope you can appreciate how difficult and personal this was for Felicity to write, and how brave it was of her to share it with us. — OH I have a hidden health problem: chronic PTSD brought on by years of traumatic abuse […]
Q: I’ve noticed that smoking high THC strains seems to cause anxiety or paranoia. Is this normal? A: Yes, this is quite common. Unfortunately CBD, a natural component of cannabis that has anti-anxiety effects, has been bred out of most recreational strains, and many recreational users chase the “ultimate high”, so we will see more reports […]
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 […]
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 […]
…well, it was more of a screech. See, I have to renew my driver’s license, and I’ve been meaning to contact my local California DMV office for a week or two, but I kept forgetting during working hours, since I tend to start late in the day anyway. So I set an alarm on my […]
Bubba Kush. I never had it or even heard of it before, and I thought the name was a joke possibly referencing Southern U.S. origins. As it turns out, the name doesn’t actually come from “Bubba” but “Bubble”…leaf.ly says it’s a cross between Bubble Gum and Kush. Anyway, a friend of mine came up with […]
