Cannabis and Memory Loss, is it Bullshit?
Yes, it pretty much is from everything that I’m finding online. Now, any stoner will tell you the last thing that you want to do after smoking a fat blunt or taking a huge dab is do something that you don’t want to do. If it is a cognitively challenging task, being lit out of […]
Chicago’s Decision to Ban Hemp-Derived THC Products, Excluding Drinks
Chicago has decided to implement a ban on hemp-derived THC products even before any amendment to the 2018 Farm Bill becomes law. However, there is a caveat: the city is still allowing hemp-derived THC beverages. I didn’t even know about this until attending a Cannabis Equity IL Coalition (CEIC) Zoom meeting last week. Banning “Gas […]
Epidiolex and how it is FDA Approved Even Though Cannabis is Still Federally Schedule I
Do You Know What Epidiolex is? First lets explain. Epidiolex is an FDA approved CBD drug that you can only get with a prescription at a pharmacy. It was developed to treat epileptic seizures. A year’s supply for an individual over 18 years old is $42,000 a year. I saw an ad for this drug […]
The Nose Dive on Quality and the Commoditization of Cannabis in This Country
I’ve been wanting to write about this topic for some time. In fact, I have no interest in working in the commercial retail cannabis space in the US. I actually believe that Europe is the place for me, largely for obvious reasons for anyone that reads my blog posts. It’s because the EU doesn’t allow […]
Rick Simpson Oil / FECO Oil: What’s it All About?
I am about to take you on a journey. The amount of enemies of cannabis in this country, abroad, and probably on other fucking planets is just unbelievable. I am not a doctor nor a healthcare professional, but if there were a cure for cancer, you better believe in the U.S. we wouldn’t have access […]
SCHEDULE III DRUG CLASSIFICATION: WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY?
There was a lot of speculation on whether or not Trump would reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III on Monday. As most of you already know, he didn’t. And based on his answer to when it will be done, my guess is no time soon. For the uninitiated, the law and government are […]
Tolerance Breaks
I’ve been wanting to write this blog post for some time, and since I’m currently on a tolerance break, I figured now would be as good a time as any. Have you taken a tolerance break before? Most everyday smokers have. I think there are many benefits to taking a tolerance break, and I just […]
Multi-State Operators and How They are Destroying The Quality of Product in IL
I have consumed cannabis in 18 recreationally “legal” states. I put legal in quotes because the state governments say they are legal, but until you can go to a hash bar and burn one inside or smoke on the streets the same way you can smoke a cigarette (that will kill you), the way you […]
Misinformation Perpetuated in Cannabis Use and Cultivation
This is a blog post that I have been wanting to write for some time. First, I want to describe what misinformation is and how it is distinguished from disinformation. The two are often confused with each other and are very different things. In a nutshell, misinformation is information that is false but spread by […]
The Number One Factor Determining Your Experience With Cannabis — Spoiler: it Has Nothing to do With the Strain.
Whenever I see descriptions of strains and how they will make you feel — the whole indica/sativa/hybrid divide, you know the deal — I feel like we’re really just perpetuating ignorance. It’s been pretty well established at this point (at least among the initiated) that the whole indica/sativa debate isn’t the best indicator of how […]
