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 […]

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 […]

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.

Ask Old Hippie: Can Marijuana Relieve My Back Pain?
Dear Old Hippie: I was in a car accident several years ago that left me with a back injury that unfortunately keeps me in quite a bit of pain a good portion of the day. I have been on a concoction of pharmaceuticals for the past year and a half, and finally decided that I […]
