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 […]

The Great Cannabis Oil Experiment
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 […]
Great Balls of Ganja Goo!
Dear friends, I am very happy to be able to bring you this adventure, which has been lost in my archives for well over a decade. It happened exactly 15 years ago today, to the minute (I’ve timed this to publish exactly at 12:15…you will soon see why). I was excited to be at the […]
Old Hippie’s Medicine Chest (or, Canna Caps Revealed)
So, you want to know how to get through your day using cannabis, but without smoking, without vaping, and without getting too stoned to work? What you need, friend, are Canna Caps, which are made by extracting cannabinoids from ground medical marijuana into coconut oil. Once you start working with these, you will want to […]
Response To A Cheap Shot At MMJ Patients (and Ancient Egyptians)
I realize that this is an opinion piece, and everyone’s entitled to their own opinion, even when it’s wrong But as it purports to be written by a “journalist”, and includes some references, some people might actually think it’s factual. That’s why I’m bothering to comment on it. See, it’s absurdly easy to laugh at a […]
Exploring Therapeutic Microdoses Of Cannabis
I’ve been writing about my experiences of being a Medical Marijuana patient for two years now. I’ve often talked about the way I use cannabis: in small doses, not enough to get high, but enough to make a change. Suddenly (in the shower, of course!) a word came to me out of nowhere: microdose. I […]
Old Hippie Tries Narcotics
Just kickin’ the old gong around… Seriously, though, I didn’t enter into this decision lightly or even for fun. It happened that a tooth I had a root canal done on a few years ago went “bad”, so now I had to endure (as well as pay for) an extraction on top of the “fun” […]
Uncle Buck’s Blueberry Smoothies Are A Trip!
And by trip, I mean I hit [13]. Yes, folks, I done it again. And by “it”, I mean I once again ventured forth to Magnolia Wellness for Uncle Buck’s by now surely world-famous cannabis cooking class. But this time he wasn’t cooking anything. He was making smoothies, using protein powder and blueberries and honey yogurt and […]
Old Hippie Makes Nutella Firecrackers
So there I was, just sitting around after going shopping. Some thought was annoying me, attempting to claw its way into my consciousness…wait! My wife had asked me to pick her up some graham crackers, and I just realized that those are the base ingrediENT in firecrackers! Now, back in the sixties and seventies, nobody cooked […]
Trip Report: International Cannabis and Hemp Expo
Live! From the Famed Cow Palace Near San Francisco! Well, that’s what I was thinking about doing…live-blogging the whole experience. But since this blog hasn’t officially launched yet, and I wasn’t even sure they’d have free WiFi down there (they did BTW, and it worked great inside), I decided not to give myself anything to […]
