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?

How To Make Smoky Bourbon Brown Sugar Budbecue Sauce
Barbecue sauce is an American favorite. Commonly found in southern cooking, barbecue sauce is a condiment that can be used in a number of ways. Not only does it work well on barbecued meats such as brisket, burnt ends, and chicken, but you can also use it to add a smoky element to already-prepared food. It makes a fantastic dipping sauce for chicken tenders and the perfect condiment for hamburgers. While you are probably familiar with its unique flavor, you likely have not had this recipe.

A Brief History of Pot
Gateway drug or non-addictive medical panacea? The pot debate has continued to stoke the passions of recreational and medicinal users and their opponents for millennia. While the fate of marijuana legalization and decriminalization hang in the balance, its medical use has been an accepted fact for centuries. Based on 2015 estimates, 22.2 million Americans listed themselves as current marijuana users – reflecting an increase in use over more than a decade [1]. So why are we so fascinated with the dried form of the plant genus, Cannabis?

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.

My Parlay with Mary J!
I have to say that this blog is long over due. You see, in every blog post I write... wait a minute... let me back up a bit... in everything I write I give a piece of me, the real me. Depending on the subject, of course, is what sets the standard for the size of the piece I'm giving but I definitely give and it is for you the reader to guess where that piece is. I'll never give you a clue and only those who know me well can follow the webbed pattern I lay out but the clever ones will try... the fact is that's what I want you to do! Every now and then I want to serve you a blog that gives you me in all my splendor lol how I think, how I cuss, how I handle life daily and I always wanted to do something like this. Sort of chronologically break down one of my passions, from the beginning to the end; where we started and where we are now because honestly I truly love her, always had and always will. Now that I live in a state where it's legal to love her openly, the amount of encounters I have with her on a daily basis is so high (GET IT? HIGH LOL) and it brings a smile to my face every time. Often I find myself remembering how this type of freedom didn't exist for me on the east coast and I always finish the thought with "I definitely don't miss that." Yes, my parlay with Mary J goes back a long way.

Marvel Movie Guide for Stoners
Who doesn’t smoke weed these days? It is very popular and people are enjoying their Mary Jane daily. Walk the streets of NYC and try not to smell it for 10 blocks. With all the stresses in people's lives, smoking some weed and getting high calms people down. You can sit on the couch for hours without even knowing how much time has passed. A big part of being high is the state of apathy that occurs and watching a movie while high is always a blast, except if it is a horror film. Don’t watch Sinister while high... trust me. Another one to stay away from is Playtest and the Black bear on Black Mirror.
