My Life with Marijuana
To be perfectly honest, I’ve smoked marijuana since July 31st of 1995. We sat on the edge of the escarpment, looking over the downtown of my city, and passed a joint back and forth. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and we were celebrating in our own way. We were too young to drink legally, and my friend’s sister had gotten her the joint as a gift. It was my first experience and it was so positive, so affirming, that I have smoked regularly ever since. It helped my moods – I suffer from depression and severe anxiety – stimulated my appetite, and gave me the concentration to study at school. Even then, I was using medicinally. I just didn’t know it.

Fake Weed
Picking Your Poison Are you a consumer? Do you ponder the merits of sativas versus indicas and hybrids? Are the exotic names ranging from Nova to the Queen of Cali an added turn-on? Where can you find the perfect herbal blend that would energize and relax the body at the same time? Or are you a breeder? Did it take years of painstaking work cultivating ever-more potent plants while keeping abreast of evolving laws? Do you wax rhapsodic at the sight of the crystal-like trichomes that contain all the good stuff? Or could it be that you only care about relieving pain and that berry or other infusions into your ganja are just the proverbial cherry on top of the cannabis cake. Never fear. Look no further than the Internet to find guides to the best or most potent weed strains. Stoners will wax lyrical about their favorite products at informal and formal events.

While the fate of marijuana legalization and decriminalization hang in the balance, its medical use has been an accepted fact for centuries. Based on 2015 estimates, 22.2 million Americans listed themselves as current marijuana users – reflecting an increase in use over more than a decade [1]. So why are we so fascinated with the dried form of the plant genus, Cannabis?

How To Talk To Your Representative About Pot
Most potheads dream of the day where legalization is a national phenomenon, and though we've come a long way, there's still a lot to do before we can smoke pot in peace. As nice as it is to hope that the politicians in office would tell the DEA to take a hike, the truth is that we need to act if we ever want to see marijuana become legal.
