You know how everyone seems to say either, “Marijuana is bad” or “Marijuana is good”? You know how some people say, “People can get paranoid from smoking pot” or “Medical marijuana helps people with paranoia, anxiety, and depression”? You know how one person can say, “I got really screwed up after smoking weed and passed […]
We all heard about Willie Nelson getting busted for possession of a few ounces of weed a little while ago. Well, there were jokes about him starting a Teapot Party, but it turns out he was really serious! And now NORML is involved and there will be meetups all over the country (hopefully people won’t […]
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 […]

Government anti-drug propaganda has made fools out of a large number of Americans, prisoners […]
Well, here’s the way I see it…and no disrespect to anyone who “just smokes to get high”…because there’s nothing wrong with that… If I was just smoking because it was fun or I liked to…it’s really no different than anything else you like to do (movies, drinking, concerts). If you can no longer afford it, […]
I was a freshman in high school.

One day, the hippest kid in the school (the grandson of a famous radical political figure) […]
A very interesting post on /r/marijuana got over 100 thoughtful responses. Here was mine: …I think I might be relevant because I also have a 16-year-old at home (although I am a generation older than you…apparently I had kids late and you had them early). I also started smoking at 15 but hadn’t smoked for […]
