Save Your Youth
If you're anything like me, your teenage years and perhaps early twenties were likely the times you experimented most with various substances. (Many of you have carried the spirit of your youth to the present day)!
Michael ThielmannPublished 5 years ago in PotentMarijuana Saved My Life
I started smoking weed at 13 years old. Man, I can remember it like it was yesterday. 13... junior high, abuse, band, being beat, and molested. I was looking for an escape... I looked in all kinds of locations and directions. Fast forward to now, I am 33 with a successful career, an insanely happy marriage, and an apartment with my husband in a high rise. Life most days is amazing.
Rappers Who Love Weed
"I was gonna finish this article, and then I got high..." Thankfully, I did get around to completing this, but not without some help from some of my favorite stoner rap songs. It's no secret that there is a deep relationship between weed and music. Most of your favorite rappers probably spark up every once in a while—or every day (but hey, we're not judging!). Rappers who love weed often foster and support 420 culture. This might be a subjective opinion, but rappers who love to smoke often spit cerebral, surprisingly deep bars and we can't deny that it's probably a result of the weed offering up alternative creative outlets. But we're not complaining! Pass the dutchie and let's take a look at the rappers who love weed (probably just as much as we do.)
Sigmund FriedPublished 5 years ago in PotentFront Porch Smoke Sessions
I always thought smoking m.j. would be like smoking a ciggie, but with 'higher' benefits. It wasn't until half a year ago, when I began dating one hell of a man, that I actually considered smoking. It started with my sister, in the driveway, at the trunk of her car. The strain was called purple haze. Rolling a small joint, it took only one to two hits for me to be in my own kind of haze.
Sophie MariePublished 5 years ago in Potent10 Things to Do When You're High
Being high, if nothing else, puts you in a different state of mind. Some feel more alert, others feel more relaxed, while even more just may feel dissociated. Depending on what you're smoking or popping, you might just feel like laying down and thinking about life.
Skunk UzekiPublished 5 years ago in PotentWeed is Legal Canada... Let's talk about it
As of October 17th, 2018, Justin Trudeau’s promise to legalize recreational use of marijuana has finally come to pass. To many Canadians, today represents the historic end of a prohibition on a harmless little green plant. I do support the idea that government has been ineffective in deterring usage of this drug and we are better off with legalization than otherwise. However, I believe the government has many some crucial missteps with the role out of this policy in Canada. And more importantly, the disingenuous lie about marijuana usage that seems to be coming along with these changes is nothing short of dangerous.
Dickson NormousPublished 6 years ago in PotentHow to Grow Organic Weed
Even though organic produce is normally smaller in size than its non-organic competitors, it pretty uniformly packs a hundred times the flavor and richness into that size. The simple matter is, organic production processes are more conducive to the rich taste and smell of produce. The joys of cannabis are unparalleled, and when it comes to marijuana, things are no different: Organic processes better suit the terpenes that provide your weed with its particular rich flavors. To that end, here's how to grow organic weed that will taste, smell, look, and feel better than any alternatives.

Best Fictional Potheads in Pop Culture
It's crazy how far America has come since the age of Reefer Madness. I wonder what people would have said, back then, if we told them that pot would soon be legal in many US states.
10 Stoner Movies Everyone Should Know About
Stoner movies are a genre that is often misunderstood, and typically will have lifespans of about a year to two years. Over the decades, there have been many movies in this genre that were specifically made to be filled to the brim with cannabis jokes, stonerisms, and goofy humor that tends to be very popular with people who smoke.
Skunk UzekiPublished 6 years ago in PotentHow to Become a Legal Drug Dealer
An Ill-Advised Way to Cash in on Cannabis Lo and behold, there is a way to stack that cash money without packing bud into dime bags and hoping that person requesting flower on the other end of the line isn't the law enforcement pretending to need weed. One bad move and that parking lot exchange could turn into the pigs cuffing your hands and throwing you in the back of their car. Or, arguably worse, spending thousands of dollars to open up a dispensary storefront for your new business only for you to get raided by the cops a couple of months later.
Milcah HaliliPublished 6 years ago in PotentThe Boiling Pot
I grew up in these Bald Cypress trees, having spent the majority of my childhood on the boat with Pop and my older and only brother, Carl. I was raised in the sawgrass prairies, hunting and fishing every weekend with Pop. He taught Carl and I a route that took us from our backyard to the Gulf, and only on occasion would he venture out and show us different parts of the Everglades. He worried that we would go off on our own, get lost and not be able to find our way back. I used to argue this, telling him that the only way to ensure that we didn't get lost would be to explore the area. Pops declined and would hide the keys to his boat every time he left for a business trip, but Carl and I knew all of his hiding places. He would hide them in Ma's old shoes in the back of the closet, or at the bottom of the laundry basket because he knew that we wouldn't do the laundry while he was away...or in general.
Charleigh HaleyPublished 6 years ago in PotentHow to Know When It's Time to Harvest Your Weed
Anyone who has happened upon this piece likely has some fondness or curiosity concerning weed. Weed can be great for relieving stress, dulling pain, or just an all around great time, but it is sometimes hard to come by. Though it isn't terribly hard to find a source, your supply is only as reliable as that source. We've all had to handle dealers who perpetually change the time and place of meeting, or even flat out blow us off (which kind of comes with the territory).
