The Most Common Mistake People Make Preparing Edibles

There are a few very common mistakes that can easily be avoided and will ensure that your canna-goodies turn out brain-meltingly good.

Ultimate Guide to Edibles Dosage
I remember the last time I tried a high-dosage edible. This moment was a long string of extremely poor judgment mistakes on my part, all of which eventually worked to teach me important lessons which I would later throw out the window—because, let's face it, I am not very wise.

Best Cannabis Perfumes You Can Try
Creating the best cannabis perfume is a tricky trade. Though there are many reasons why you should add cannabis to your beauty routine, the cannabis flower has a strong scent, and many of us know from smelling marijuana, either close or from a distance, that the aroma is strong and skunk-like. Most would think rubbing this scent all over the body would be less than appealing. However, finding the perfect combination of cannabis mixed with other floral and/or herbal blends might be just the trick to making both perfume and colognes smell invigorating and fresh. Many marijuana perfumes do not use actual cannabis oil because of state laws. Instead, they use other substitutes to imitate the cannabis smell. The cannabis flower is trending, as we see the best cannabis perfumes being sold from well-known designers such as Balenciaga. Let’s look at some options for marijuana perfumes on the market.

How CBD Oil Has Changed My Life. Top Story - June 2018.
Many people have finally started to become wise to the fact that, as humans living in the United States, our government does not truly have our best interest at heart. Our healthcare system is a giant mess no matter how you look at it. A vast majority of this country's idea of healthcare is to charge the average citizen more than they make in a year just to get medical care during an emergency. We are given drugs (often costing more than most people make in a month) that tend to merely mask our symptoms (assuming they actually work) and come with horrific side effects more often than not. At least some of these drugs are also highly addictive. Another increasingly common "cure" is simply telling patients that, no matter what your problem is or what size you are, that you should simply lose weight...because that always makes everything better, right? Reality check...WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.

5 Reasons I Decided to Discuss My Marijuana Use with My Daughter
Recently, I decided to sit down with my 10 (now 11) daughter and discuss with her the possibility of my switching from painkillers to marijuana. I felt it was important for her to know and be aware of, since I was looking into consumables, such as candies, sodas and liquid. I didn't want her to come into my room, see it and eat it. So I explained it to her. She was really excited that I let her in on this and explained to her the negative effects I was feeling from being on extreme dosages of painkillers. There were several other reasons I decided to do this as well.
