Let's Just Legalise It Already
I live in the UK, and here we have absolutely no legal method of smoking cannabis. Now, I'm not here trying to legalise it completely, because recreational smoking in large quantities can really be damaging to you — for example, making mental health conditions worse, and specific symptoms can be exacerbated, like paranoia. However, its use as a treatment of various medical conditions like glaucoma and Parkinson's disease is widely accepted in places like California. We've all seen a video or two of someone with Parkinson's having an uncontrollable fit of shaking. Their carer somehow administers medical marijuana, and the fit ends in minutes. It's miraculous to watch, so imagine being the person it's helping — it must feel incredible to get that level of relief so quickly.

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.

Every single time somebody finds out that I use marijuana to ease the severe pain that comes along with having gallstones, they assume I must be talking about the CBD strain of "Mary Jane."

Anatomy of an Active Stoner 5
Previously on Anatomy of an Active Stoner: Sunday Morning. Sunday, 1:39 pm A massive gray cloud hovers over the city park to conquer its sky. Victory rain ensues. What an efficient crowd repellent. The place empties faster than a dull stand-up comedy. Everybody runs off into their cars or underneath the nearest rooftop, faces sad and angry.

The Joys of Cannabis
The alarm goes off at 6:45 and I hit the snooze button as I’m overwhelmed with a huge wave of nausea. Taking a deep breath, I reach for my loaded pipe and lighter taking a hit and breathing slowly. I lie still for a moment and take another hit as I feel nausea begin to subside. One more, and I’m ready to get dressed and ready for the day.
