How To Smoke Weed in Style
One of the things that divides the weed noobs from the weed veterans is how you enjoy your cannabis. Newbies have that oddly teenage sense of pride in being able to say, "OMG, I'm so stoned!" and it translates into how they experience weed.

She's So High
I've sworn up and down for years that I would never get high. It's not that I judge people who do, I've just truly never had any interest in trying. I'd be handed a joint at a party and would just pass it on to the next person without a second thought.

As you may or may not know, recently there has been an international celebration of weed in which one smokes said "devils lettuce". It was celebrated in places such as California, Colorado and the first ever country to completely legalize weed; Uruguay.

So without further ado, let me lay out my personal experience and learnings of this sacred date.

In stoner culture, there are a lot of unspoken rules. One of them, which I will speak of now, is that you should never have to pay cash for your first joint. Another is that you always pass the joint around, even if you don't like that person.

Why You Should Say Cannabis Instead of Marijuana
Orwell's 1984 was one of the first books to really point out how much words tend to define our reality. Though it may have been a science fiction book, there was a lot of fact to it—and you can see it in a lot of political dialogues currently going on in the American landscape.

Stoners: The Architects of Medicinal Cannabis. Top Story - February 2018.
It’s 7am on a blustery Tuesday. I’m in peak flare and I can’t stop throwing up. I don’t want to go to the hospital—they can’t do anything for me anyway, this is just my Crohn’s and Fibro acting exactly like they do. I made the mistake of trying to clean and now can’t make it upstairs to bed by myself and have to wait. My husband, who works a night shift, is racing home with something he thinks will help.
