Mar 18Perfect Preroll PicksI love a joint! Even with the advent of vaping, edibles, and drinkable weed (which is incredible), the joint is still my favorite way to get high. Walking in the evening after dinner, a joint in hand, it all feels so hip, like I’m a some kind of beat poet…Weed2 min read
Mar 17Stoner Food ElevatedTake a moment and think of stoner food. Ready? Go. I’m not a betting man but I’d be willing to put money on some of the images that came to mind; microwave burritos, off-brand chips, candy in neon packaging. These typical ‘munchies’ can be great but I, for one, get…Weed2 min read
Mar 16Weed strains for when you want more than just a good time.Marijuana makes movies funnier, food tastier, sex… well, you know.
