My Journey with Mary Jane
*tsk tsk tsk* Where to begin? I guess we could start off at 13? Yeah, 13. I was freshly 13 years old when I picked up my first blunt. I had just turned 13 and the day after and I was at my best friends house sharing a blunt with a couple of other friends at the time. As most first experiences are, it was OK. It was an experience. Whoever had rolled it must've sucked at rolling because I didn't really feel anything. Or at least I thought I didn't. It was my first time smoking so I wasn't sure how I should feel. I remember there was about six or seven of us on this one blunt (I know, it's so many heads on one). But that's how you gotta roll when you have no money at 13. It was a few of us trying it out for the first time, so it was definitely memorable.

Packing Bowls for Beginners
Nothing wrong with rolling a couple of joints here and there, but they just get burned so quickly. What if you just wanted to try something different, perhaps a bowl? With so many different forms of smoking, joints just sometimes don't provide us that ganja justice we stoners deserve.

A World of Legal Drugs
I'm Rachel, an inspiring journalist. I am going to start writing on this platform to create a portfolio. I want to write about things that interest me and may cause some controversy.

Best Weed Strains to Have to Sex On
I'll be the first to admit that I do not like to have sex while high. Weed strains (or any other substance) and my private parts equal dysfunction, which in turn, equals me explaining to whatever partner I'm with, "Look, I'm just not into it right now, wait a bit, eh?"

Best Movies to Watch Stoned on Netflix Right Now
Movies and stoner culture just seem to go hand in hand. There's something about the visual aspect of movies that tends to make them perfect accessories for a stoner's night in. However, not all movies are stoner-worthy and the wrong ones can be a total buzzkill.

Why You Should Never Drive On Edibles
Okay guys, here's a fun little story that's been hanging on the tip of my tongue at every social event for the last year and a half. The day my best friend and I lost our minds. I'd been associated with all things marijuana for years by that point, but my friend (we'll call her Cindy) was still relatively new and eager to expand her palette. So when we stopped by my wonderful dealer Franks house and she saw those chocolate-chip packed brownies sitting on his counter I already knew we'd be taking some home. With minimal convincing, we each bought one.

The Full Effect of Mary Jane
This time I was truly innocent. I hadn't done a thing before to that effect. I definitely wasn't planning on what was going to happen next. I was twelve years of age at this point in time. I had heard about drugs through the D.A.R.E. program at schools and whispered rumors about people smoking roaches and things from my siblings and classmates and friends. I really wasn't expecting to run into them first hand.
