Legacy Roots, Corporate Suits: The Tension Defining Cannabis Today
Working in the cannabis space was my first job, I was 15 years old. At that age there are not a lot of entrepreneurial outlets, nor management positions. It’s worth mentioning my age, I’m 43 years old now. So cannabis was still illegal pretty much everywhere when I was 15...
The Government Has Admitted the War on Drugs Was A Lie

Cannabis and Memory Loss, is it Bullshit?

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...
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...
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,...
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...
