My Own Cannabis Success Story
I have been a cannabis connoisseur for over 45 years and counting. I have partaken of hashish in the UK, in Amsterdam, and in Morocco. I have grown cannabis in Wales which was extremely challenging. Not only is the climate not very hospitable, but we had to hide the plants from the Welsh farmers and protect it from marauding cows and rabbits who loved to snack on them.

Using Cannabis for Pain Management
When I was growing up, weed was the devil. Not because of the time I lived, no I was about 6 in 2001 when my dad had to explain to my brother and I what weed was. Being little kids, we assumed people were talking about the stuff that grows in your yard. However, not a lot of the people I know grew up with a dad in the DEA. He was retired by this point but he still help firm to the law. He was always a good cop and my mom and dad raised my siblings and I as best they could.

Dogs: Pain Relief and CBD
I get it. Dogs age quickly. We all know this... And yet, as pet owners, knowing that they age so much more quickly than we do doesn't make it any easier as we watch the effects of age start to set in.

Mental Illnesses That CBD Can Help Treat
A compound that is derived from cannabis plants, cannabidiol (or CBD) can be used to treat up to nine different mental illnesses. CBD oil will not produce a high, but rather provide a natural, calming effect on the patient. Due to these symptoms, they are used as a great treatment for many mental illnesses such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and many more.

How Dangerous Are Pesticides to Cannabis Users?
The new wave of states legalizing marijuana use has led to a boom in cultivation—and that's a great thing. However, not all legal marijuana is grown the same way. Some use pesticides to prevent cannabis crops from being eaten by bugs, and others don't.

The Trouble With Mary Jane. Top Story - January 2018.
Introduction With many people around the world smoking Cannabis for the purpose of pain relief of all types, one can easily see that it provides very clear benefits. Though, as with all forms of medication, there always arises a high chance of encountering undesired side-effects. The most well-known detriment smoking marijuana can have on an individual: the weakening of synapses in the hippocampus, an area of the brain crucial to memory formation. You can read more in thearticle "How marijuana makes you forget," published by the journal Nature in 2012. Having said this, it shocks me to see how quick some misinterpret marijuana as a "golden bullet" of sorts, and the level to which people promote its disproportionate use.

My Journey with MMJ
My senior year of high school, my doctor prescribed me Prozac to help manage my chronic depression. Throughout the year of taking it, I started getting excruciating migraine headaches. My doctor then prescribed me sumatriptan to help ease the migraines. I was having four to five migraines a week, sometimes causing me to faint while working. Both meds made me increasingly fatigued, lethargic, nauseous and irritable every single day.

A Lesson I Wish I Had Learned. Enjoy Weed? Prevent Paranoia
I started smoking weed when I was 13 years old. For the first year or two, it was the best thing I had ever experienced, I couldn't get enough. At first it started like so many of us, being ripped off and buying what we thought was a gram but much smaller at in inflated price. Also the weed was weaker, normal grass or hash. Initially I felt a positive shift in my spirituality, mind, and body. I started to see the world in a different way, jokes became 10 times funnier, food was 100 times nicer and the feeling of being with a girl was amazing. Essentially everything was made more fun and exciting by the feeling of having a smoke. It opened my mind to many different ideas, thoughts and generally enhanced all experiences in my life.
