Stoners: The Architects of Medicinal Cannabis. Top Story - February 2018.
It’s 7am on a blustery Tuesday. I’m in peak flare and I can’t stop throwing up. I don’t want to go to the hospital—they can’t do anything for me anyway, this is just my Crohn’s and Fibro acting exactly like they do. I made the mistake of trying to clean and now can’t make it upstairs to bed by myself and have to wait. My husband, who works a night shift, is racing home with something he thinks will help.

The System Has Failed
Who was I to decide the fate of a man? How can I be judge, jury, and executioner of someone I have never saw before in my life? What qualifies me for this job? I sit and listen to the differing stories from each person on the stand. I sit in a room with 11 other people who want to believe either he’s guilty or he’s innocent. We only know what we’ve been told. One vote the wrong way could send an innocent man to prison, or set a criminal free. How do we choose? Sure there is evidence on both sides, but which is more compelling? What if we are wrong? What if we are right? What if we believe that since no property or person was injured or damaged, no crime has been committed? We are just 12 people trying to decide who is wrong, and who is right.

Stoner Walks & Real Talks-Reflection
It has been a busy few days since my last entry. It gets quit busy around here when it gets close to crop time. Yay!!! I was missing my meds more than you could ever know. With growing you don’t always get what you want at the end and sometimes shit gets tough and life happens and next thing you know you are dipping into your roach jars. Thank goodness for those roach jars though or we might have been a whole lot worse off.

I've Got Marijuana
A cannabis-infused edibles company that my dispensary recently started selling products from, 1906 New Highs, gave all the employees one of these pins recently that simply state: "I'VE GOT DRUGS." I wholeheartedly stand behind the concept they'd like to present with these pins. We wear them as employees in the legal cannabis industry in Colorado that interact with a drug on a daily basis in our chosen profession, and the fact that my dispensary doesn't approve of the message (and won't allow us to wear the pins at work where they are most relevant to us) really inspired me to share my perspective with others. "Drug" is not a bad word. Neither is the word "marijuana." Therefore, I feel that it's important for people to understand the history of these words, as well as why we carry certain connotations with them.

Medical Conditions that Edibles Can Help Treat
Medical marijuana's benefits are many, and that's a large part of the reason why the green boom is happening. With state after state rolling back laws banning the good herb, more prescriptions for cannabis are being doled out than ever before.

Dilemmas With My Dealer
One thing legal states don't have to worry about is dealers. Dispensaries usually have knowledgeable staff, who all take great pride in their work. On the other hand, with dealers you have to keep in mind it's one person. With it only being one person vs a business, you run into a completely different set of issues. One common issue is they don't have standard business hours. They get you when they can and hopefully it's not before you run completely out. They do enjoy their personal lives as well. They may be out of town, they may be busy, or they may have simply run out. All these issues could be stopped by opening a convenient location to get your cannabis and cannabis accessories.

Best Marijuana Documentaries on Netflix
Netflix is no stranger to interesting and provocative documentaries based on the culture and industry of marijuana. It's a hot topic, especially now as the push for legalization grows and grows, and the more it's ingrained in the public eye, the more information people will want to understand in better ways and connotations. Simply put, marijuana is nothing but a plant with psychoactive traits, yet there's still many different avenues to cross when investigating its long history; a legacy that's seemingly become a cultural icon.

Growing Your Own Cannabis—It Won't Make Money, but It Will Make Sense
Hope everyone is feeling high and hopeful out there in Cannatopia, because I know I am. I know in my last entry I basically gave you a breakdown of how long cannabis has been in my life and briefly touched on how I came to be a grower’s wife… weed widow… I prefer marijuana mistress… I don’t mind sharing my husband with those lovely ladies, but don’t start tripping. I won’t share him with anyone else, hahaha, he is all mine. Speaking of my honey, FYI, he just came in from the garden and he smells so good. He smells of a nice mix of fruity piney dank funk. It is a smell that only a cannabis lover could appreciate. One of the perks of being a marijuana mistress is that you do not mind her perfume when he comes home smelling like the other ladies. It is the only time I will smell anybody’s fingers. Yes, I went there and I know some of you laughed and have done it to someone else right after you have gotten terps on your fingers from fondling a big beautiful nug.
