Fake Weed
Picking Your Poison Are you a consumer? Do you ponder the merits of sativas versus indicas and hybrids? Are the exotic names ranging from Nova to the Queen of Cali an added turn-on? Where can you find the perfect herbal blend that would energize and relax the body at the same time? Or are you a breeder? Did it take years of painstaking work cultivating ever-more potent plants while keeping abreast of evolving laws? Do you wax rhapsodic at the sight of the crystal-like trichomes that contain all the good stuff? Or could it be that you only care about relieving pain and that berry or other infusions into your ganja are just the proverbial cherry on top of the cannabis cake. Never fear. Look no further than the Internet to find guides to the best or most potent weed strains. Stoners will wax lyrical about their favorite products at informal and formal events.

How To Talk To Your Representative About Pot
Most potheads dream of the day where legalization is a national phenomenon, and though we've come a long way, there's still a lot to do before we can smoke pot in peace. As nice as it is to hope that the politicians in office would tell the DEA to take a hike, the truth is that we need to act if we ever want to see marijuana become legal.

An Account of Cannabis Banking
What a strange time to be a bank. As a trusted institution, you want to support your friends peddling an amazing life changing medicine locally, but federally it's been written off as black magic sure to destroy the fabric of our society. On one hand, you've banked these entrepreneurs in other "mainstream" ventures and trust them as true professionals. On the other hand, they are now snake oil salesmen on a golden path you surely cannot navigate.

Can Weed End the Heroin Epidemic?
The heroin epidemic in America has reached devastating proportions. The New York Timesrecently reported that drug deaths are rising faster than ever before. The story claimed that in 2016, between 59,000 and 65,000 people died as a result of a heroin overdose. (Experts are currently unsure of the full total of true overdoses due to the time it takes for an overdose to be officially declared via toxicology tests.)

Orgasm Harder with Cannabis-Infused Oils
As a soon-to-be-retired adult performer, I owe a lot of my pleasurable life to my professional sexual adventures. It's safe to say I've had more than my fair share of wild days and nights and the privilege to do so in a safe, controlled, and impeccably clean environment. I'm thankful to have led a blessed sensual life thus far. One of the perks of this blessed life is that I've tried more types of lube than the folks who shop at drug stores and grocery stores for their KY Jelly fix.

What to Do If You Smoked Laced Weed
In my years as a pothead (and casual drug user), there have been only a handful of moments where I have smoked laced weed without knowing it was laced. The majority of drug dealers won't add anything to cannabis, simply because it tends to cost more to do so—and because it's very bad business to sell laced cannabis to people who want the pure stuff.

Why Is Weed So Popular In America?
There are many reasons why weed is so popular in America. To start, weed is used for medical reasons. It treats insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and more. In addition, weed is a big problem solver when it comes to cancer treatment. Weed can be used to set aside the pain that comes from Chemotherapy. In fact, some patients have said that without weed, they wouldn’t have survived their cancer. Getting high causes most people to feel pleasure and feel a certain sense of ease. With all the advancements in medicine, weed will only play a bigger role in the future of our country.

The Weed that Changed the World. Top Story - June 2017.
With only 50 years of history, growing stabilised indoor cannabis strains is a fairly new innovation. But that half a century of hydroponic horticulture is brimming with a rich heritage of stories and ancestry. From Afghanistan to Colombia, Thailand to Russia, intent humans have bred some of the most astounding cannabis plants and we are now tooting the fruit of their victories. For that is all marijuana is, a fruit. The humble plant has fed the brains of our kith and kin for centuries but now we are entering a new potent world of weed.

How To Buy Your First Bong
Most potheads remember the first bong they ever had or smoked from. It's often a bong that one of their friends managed to buy from a head shop without their parents noticing. It may have been a hand-me-down from an older brother, or maybe just a "communal bong" that everyone in the frathouse used.
