RIP David Peel, Godfather King of Weed Punk Music
Last week, David Peel, the irrepressible and quintessential street musician, died in New York after a heart attack. He was 74.

Cannabis Wins Big On Election Night
Beyond my wildest dreams. California passed Prop 64 and now we have full legal recreational marijuana, literally as of today (stores won’t open until January 2018 though)!

Tommy Chong: The Beyond Chronic Interview
Interview by Old Hippie Introduction, Research, Hyperlinks, and Annotations by David Fiedler Tommy Chong has been around so long that he’s a cannabis icon, not just to baby boomers who fondly remember the Cheech and Chong albums and movies, but also to the zillions of fans of That 70s Show, where he starred as Leo […]
The Incredible Vanishing Marijuana Stigma
So many people keep talking about the “social stigma against marijuana” as if it’s still 1969 or something. They’re wrong. Even though Life magazine had a ground-breaking cover story on it back then (October 31, 1969: 12 million Americans have tried it…should it be legalized?), and even though marijuana was almost legalized during the Carter […]
Pharma Futility and the American Health System
Felicity had an interesting encounter with our dysfunctional health system recently. If you’re not from the United States, you may be befuddled by this story because it couldn’t possibly be true. If you do live in the U.S., you will probably sigh in commiseration or cynically say, “Well, of course! Everyone is used to this! […]
