My dear wife Felicity has been having more than the usual amount of trouble sleeping lately. Although her daytime cannabinoid requirements have not changed (one or two capsules still get her through the day), she’s been needing higher doses at night due to higher amounts of stress. Since we generally make our capsules fairly “light”, […]

Cannabis-Induced Hypotension In a 61-Year-Old Male
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 […]
It’s All About the Strain: Bubba Kush vs. White Widow
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 […]
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 […]
Thinking Outside The Box
Yet one more minor emergency, this one caused by cannabis. So I loaded up my MFLB with a mix of ATF and Sour Diesel, and fired it up for my nominal two tokes using a freshly-charged battery. I was trying to be very cautious because I’ve had some problems in the past getting a wee […]
The Reluctant Cannabis Patient
So, how did I get started with medical cannabis? I have asthma, PTSD, anxiety, and panic attacks. When Old Hippie and I went to a medical cannabis gathering awhile back, someone there said that smoking cannabis was good for asthma. I almost said bullshit to his face. Smoke, particulates, perfume all hurt my lungs. My […]
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” […]
The Secret Of Old Hippie’s Special Blend Of Marijuana Strains
Cannabis, used as a medicine, is unlike most other medicines. Not just because it can help people with so many different conditions, not just because a bunch of ignorant or corrupt politicians have been insanely suppressing it for 75 years, but because it’s absolutely necessary for the patient to take an active role in his […]
Ask Old Hippie: Should I Smoke An Indica Or Sativa?
Dear Old Hippie: Now that medical marijuana strains are finding their way to people in less-enlightened states, even back alley dealers are claiming their weed to be “genuine Super Sour Diesel Sufferin’ Succotash Lazy Hazy Kush” or whatever. WTF does any of this mean to someone who just wants to know how it will make […]
Ask Old Hippie: What’s The Best Strain For Me?
Dear Old Hippie: First off, thank you for all the great information you give. After two years of taking every pill on the pharmaceutical market, my doctor finally signed my paperwork to get my Medical Marijuana recommendation. I used to smoke in the past, but have not smoked any weed for at least two years now. Now that […]
