My Addiction to Mary Jane
I’ve known about drugs my entire life, my earliest experience was playing in a bag full of white powder with my sister. My parents left us in the kitchen while they ran outside for one split second and our curiosity took over. My mom caught us, hands covered in what I later realized was cocaine and washed us off.

The Hypocrisy of UK Marijuana Laws
Ah, the UK. Great Britain. Good old Blighty. Home of tea obsessions, crumpets, queuing etiquette, Yorkshire puddings (savoury,) and Spotted Dick, (sweet dessert,) poor dental hygiene, plummy sounding vowels and Hollywood villains.

Ben KharakhPublished 6 years ago in PotentWhy You Should Drink Cannabis Tea
You should drink cannabis tea because it's rich in health benefits and can treat many ailments. Unfortunately, America is a nation adverse to changes that challenge the status quo, and a cup of chronic is definitely a challenge to the status quo. THC is a threat to the pharmaceutical industry, the criminalization of weed is used to justify America’s racist war on drugs, and many people are simply misinformed about the effects of cheeba. Given all the suffering that’s alleviated by something as simple as brewed pot, it’s important to let people know just how much steeped Mary Jane can improve their lives.
Roland BarnesPublished 6 years ago in PotentCan You Donate Blood If You Smoke Weed?
Straight to the point: Yes. That is correct, you can smoke weed and give blood, but there are some caveats and some misconceptions to the whole ordeal itself, since donating blood is not something for everyone. Among all the other things seemingly floating about in wonder when concerning the question can you donate blood if you smoke weed, first things first: ask your freaking doctor. I know potheads, cannabis consumers, and medicinal weed users all probably feel a level of laziness or mistrust (given high levels of paranoia attached to weed consumption), asking your medical professional should be the number one, first priority before you do anything else—yes, even before rolling up a second joint to smoke.

Straight up smoking weed can literally give you the best feeling in the world. It's as though your surroundings don't make sense, you can't open your eyes because of your sudden sleepiness, and you immediately get the munchies like no tomorrow. Sometimes, just a few hits does the trick. But instead of smoking it, have you ever considered eating weed?
Randy CobernPublished 6 years ago in PotentWays to Use Your Cannabis Kief
Every daily smoker knows what kief is, and if not, then just check the bottom piece of your grinder. Those tiny, sand-like grains of marijuana is what we know (and love) as fine, powdery "pollen," or simply very finely ground up weed. Used in a multitude of ways, kief can bring both highs and lows, whether it be in the actual feeling and mood themselves, or simply in activity and memory; it all depends on the methods that are used.

There are so many ways to get stoned in this day and age, from blunts and bongs to rigs and pens. With so many options, sometimes it's hard to choose.
