How to Travel With Weed
Traveling with weed is actually easier today then it was in the late 20th century. Technology has certainly played a part, but attitudes at security checks have eased as regards to weed. The combination of the legalization movement's successes in conjunction with a security force more concerned with weapons than weed, has made for a more accommodating environment for weekend travelers. There are a number great alternatives for traveling life stylists to stash their stash. They are at the mercy of state law when driving with weed and at the mercy of federal law when flying with weed. This is true even if the local jurisdiction you've arrived to or departed from allows cannabis consumption.

Cannabis Questions and Answers
Once again I find myself answering emails that come to the Potent staff about all things cannabis. I am always fascinated by the questions. With all the possible answers one can look up on line, I think people are more interested in having a person they can relate to like me, who has actually had to figure all this stuff out as part of my ganjacation. Today's questions come from all over the country, and i try to pick ones that have the broadest appeal.

Cannabis Cocktails, Mocktails & Tonics
My name is Warren Bobrow. I have a successful career as a brand ambassador for a boutique rum brand, so why would I go and write a book about Cannabis? Quite possibly because no one has written a book like this prior. And I really enjoy Cannabis- perhaps even more than drinking- my career is in drinking, so go figure...

How to Bogart a Joint
Since I was a kid, smoking pot behind the gym in high school, I can always remember being the guy that had to be reminded to pass the joint. It wasn't that I was selfish, I was just stoned. I would sometimes tune out, until someone would inevitably tell me to pass the joint. There were no vapes back then, and I still enjoy a fine rolled joint from Willies Reserve. It was called a bogart because Humphrey Bogart always had a cigar dangling from his mouth.

The ABCs of Marijuana & Drug Testing
It's time to get re-educated. For any child growing up, learning their ABCs is an essential step toward gaining a greater understanding of the world in which they live. In the Orwellian world of random workplace drug testing, cannabis consumers must learn another equally important set of ABCs in order to successfully navigate their way through life: the ABCs of drug testing.

Understanding Stashology
John and Ken had a big problem. What had been a load of almost 7,000 sizable peyote buttons (averaging 6.5 grams a piece) when they’d scored it out in Arizona, was 100 pounds of slime by the time they got it back to New York City. The flavor was unmentionable. The stench was enough to waste goats at 200 yards—nauseating was far too nice a term. The two desperate dealers realized that while almost anyone can put up with the ritualistic vomiting that often accompanies a heavy duty trip on fresh peyote, only the hell for leather masochist would chew down on rotten buttons.

How to Make Cannabis Tea
These days there are so many ways to get high, so you might wonder why you would want to learn how to make cannabis tea. Well, cannabis tea has numerous advantages over other forms of cannabis use and other edibles. Like other edibles and oils, cannabis tea allows you to make the most of your stems and shake. It also offers a discrete means of consumption and it's delicious. Another advantage of cannabis tea is that, as a liquid, you can very easily adjust your dose to have the exact experience you want. Not only can you adjust your dose, but because THC is not water soluble, once you know how to make cannabis tea, you can choose to make your tea in several different ways that will affect just how psychoactive your brew ends up being.

How to Grow Psilocybin Mushrooms at Home
The novice cultivator would do best to work with Stropharia cubensis Earle, sometimes rendered Psilocybe cubensis (Earle) Singer.
