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 […]

Capsule Warning: The AVB Experiment That Went Wrong
A few days ago, after I wrote that article about AVB, I decided to eat some straight AVB, without benefit of a meal or extraction into oil, so it would just be the AVB itself with no lipids to help or hinder it. I wanted to see how that would affect the absorption speed and […]
This Would Be The Day That I Died
It’s exactly one year since I had a massive heart attack and double cardiac arrest (and no, I’m not originally from Gallifrey), which was triggered by food poisoning from some badly-stored sushi. Everything in my life (other than finances…oh well) has gotten better since then; even my outlook on life, but especially my health, since […]
Of Cannabis Edibles And Overdosing
It has occurred to me that some people might just get the wrong idea. After all, I’ve written at least half a dozen stories here about various of my adventures involving overdoses of Medical Marijuana edibles, which left me in various states of highness, generally in the double digits (AKA “tripping balls“). I’d like to […]
Stoned Again…On Cookies
Make that the teeniest, weeniest little fragment of a cookie. I had been looking through the refrigerator drawer where I keep my baked goodies when I ran across a sealed foil package. I instantly knew what was in there, because I had acquired it at the 2010 Cannabis and Hemp Expo, but I had plenty […]
I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Cannabis Ice Cream!
Well, it’s Friday, so I’ve survived yet another of Uncle Buck’s cooking classes, which are held on occasional Thursdays at Magnolia Wellness. This time, it didn’t involve cooking so much as waiting…waiting for the homemade ice cream to freeze! Sure, you can just drop some cannabis tincture on a cup or cone of ice cream, […]
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 […]
Tripping Balls, Whee!
OK, it is possible to get to tripping status with cannabis. It’s even possible to do this by smoking it, although it’s quite difficult to smoke that much, in general. The way to do that is to eat it. Not raw marijuana itself, but cooked into something edible containing oil or fat (and preferably yummy) […]
