The Trip to the Infinite
A few months ago, one of my best friends introduced me to an organization called End Well. A non-profit foundation, it was founded in 2017 by Dr. Shoshana Ungerleider, who hosts the TED Health Podcast and is a frequent medical contributor on CNN, MSNBC, and CBS News. She’s a doctor of internal medicine who, after seeing so many patients suffer great physical and emotional pain as they died in a hospital surrounded by strangers, figured there had to be a better way.

Best Marijuana Grow Books You Can Buy on Amazon
First-time growing is no simple procedure. There's actually a wide variety of concepts you must learn before you can even begin to plant your cannabis garden with accuracy. Don't forget, there's also a couple of different methods to plant them in the first place, like indoor and outdoor growing. Everyone has their own tips and tricks, but I find it's better to learn on your own through the varied teachings of some of cannabis culture's most renowned names in growing. Learning how to grow weed is one of the things that separate weed noobs from weed veterans.

Must-Read Books On Growing Marijuana
Why should you bother investing in books on growing marijuana when much of the information is widely available online? Can't you just watch a bunch of YouTube videos and get much of the same information? Well, yes and no, but the real value of a physical book is that it's more reliable, better researched, and has been properly vetted—generally speaking.

Best Books for Stoners to Read
Whether mainstream media wants to admit it or not, marijuana and books go together beautifully. Many major authors wrote bestsellers while smoking the herb, and some even managed to make a reputation for themselves as writers because of their ganja habit.

This 1969 Pamphlet is the Ultimate Guide to Growing Cannabis. Top Story - May 2017.
Back in the 1960s and 1970s, cannabis cultivation was as taboo as it got. No respected book publisher would talk about how to grow marijuana - let alone describe the steps in detail. For the most part, it was one of those topics that was never broached except in closely guarded circles, in hushed voices.

What Are Cannabis Tinctures?
Even before the ancient Greek Pedanius Dioscorides penned his famous precursor to modern pharmacopoeias, "De Materia Medica,” herbalists and traditional apothecaries have been concentrating the healing power of herbs into tincture form. These concoctions are meant for efficient herbal medicating. Cannabis tinctures are not new; until 1937, tinctures were the most common form of marijuana-based medicines. A few drops can be taken sublingually (under the tongue) where the medicine is absorbed by the arterial system then rushed to the brain and body.

Who Was Fitz Hugh Ludlow?
I was never particularly interested in 19th-century literature. There were so many things our English teachers didn't tell us, especially when it came to the counterculture underground books of the Victorian era. They never mentioned that Charles Dickens, for instance, wrote his last novel stoned. Several key scenes in The Mystery of Edwin Drood were set in an opium den and hash lounge. Or they'd ramble on and on about John Greenleaf Whittier's "Snowbound," never mentioning his interesting little poem "The Haschich." Sometimes we'd get maybe an hour of English class devoted to an excerpt from Thomas De Quincey's Confessions of an English Opium Eater (1822), because it was the first great English drug tale and influenced all the Romantic writers. But we never heard about, America's first great drug writer, Fitz Hugh Ludlow.
