Taxing the Toke
The old adage “Nothing is certain but death and taxes,” is accredited to the American wise man, Benjamin Franklin. Used in a letter penned over 225 years ago, this is still true today. Death has already been considered, briefly, but today’s post will focus on the other of life’s certainties – taxes. Although there is a current trend of legalization that is quickly becoming a national consensus regarding the way marijuana should be treated legally, a key point of contention between marijuana industry entrepreneurs and government officials are the tax codes on state and federal levels that impose harsh penalties and disincentives toward investment into cannabis capitalism.

Benefits of a Vertical Grow System
The concept of the vertical grow has been intriguing the minds and efforts of cannabis cultivators for several years. While it is easy to understand the relatively simple difference between a traditional horizontal style grow setup and a cutting-edge vertical design, these designs prove far more complicated than at first glance. It's often an issue of debate, whether they are beneficial or cumbersome; to settle this requires an in-depth exploration of the ins and outs of vertical growing.

Cannabis Monday: Medical Sesh
“In strict medical terms, marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume. For example, eating 10 raw potatoes can result in a toxic response. By comparison, it is physically impossible to eat enough marijuana to induce death. Marijuana in its natural form is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man. By any measure of rational analysis, marijuana can be safely used within the supervised routine of medical care.

While there are many negative connotations associated with marijuana use, this is perhaps because the average person does not understand all the possible benefits of medical marijuana.

Best Video Games to Play Stoned
In life, we should always strive for the best of everything: the best car, the best partner, the best job, and the best video games to play stoned. Full of action, mystery, challenge, and fun, the best video games to play stoned offer everyone, stoner or not, a chance to escape real life for a little bit and enter a new world. Stoned or not, these games are awesome, but I can't help but argue they're a little more fun when high. Besides, when playing high, you might think in a different way than you would normally while playing, and uncover new aspects of the game. So roll up a joint, get that bowl of munchies ready, call over your friends (or don't), and indulge in a day of the best video games to play stoned.
