What is CBD?
CBD. You can search Google and find multitudes of pages describing it, breaking it down, debating its effectiveness, the ethics of giving it to children and animals, anything and everything. Here, I'll provide a small overview of CBD. I recommend taking a trip down the internet rabbit hole for yourself to learn about it, talk with your doctors about it, and get in touch with others who have used it or can provide more answers for even more questions you may have.

The Benefits of Hemp
So lately, the world—yes, the world—is all about legalizing weed, which I am totally OK with. The thing is...everyone is so hung up on the medical side of this, which, in itself, is good. What about all the benefits of hemp, though? These benefits are things we should also be looking into for an example, and I will delve deeper into some others, but an example would be creating a combustible fuel using hemp. What? Don't you think that's possible? I think some research should be done on your half, because this is completely possible. Just look up Henry Ford's all hemp car that ran on hemp fuel and was completely made up of hemp made steel, which is stronger than our normal steel.
Kristopher KristiansonPublished 6 years ago in Potent These 14 Secret Cannabis Containers Will Keep Your Weed Safe and Hidden
You know one of the great ways to conserve your weed stash? Hide it from yourself, it literally always works. You know why? Because potheads tend to forget things, and it's especially worse if said "things" are literally hidden in plain view, like a freaking potted cactus. There's about a 13 percent chance I'd ever guess valuables, much less weed, were hidden inside a house plant, but I digress. It's not that you're trying to hide your stash from yourself, it's stringent upon you keeping your cannabis goods safe, plus whatever else you may stuff into these awesome containers.
Alfred TaerzPublished 6 years ago in PotentEvolution of Cannabis Consumption
My dad was a hippie who grew up in the late 60s and was open with me about how he often smoked pot in his youth. I can only imagine what kind of dank weed he must've been smoking compared to evolved strains that exist today. In addition to the evolution of cannabis strains and the vast array of cannabis products to choose from, but we've also seen a huge evolution in technology and the improved methods of cannabis consumption that include digital vaporizers such as the Pax 3 vaporizer.
Effects of Smoking Weed on Your Period
Mary Jane has definitely proven itself to be a great ally for women. Both genders get to enjoy the benefits of medical marijuana, but it seems like women, in particular, tend to be way more affected in a positive way than men.
Skunk UzekiPublished 6 years ago in PotentSigns You Have a Weed Hangover
There are reasons why you should smoke weed daily, and then there are reasons you shouldn't. It's all about pacing, knowing your body, and understanding the limitations of marijuana use (whether by your own system's standards, or the actual standard). In my personal experience, I have never felt nor even witnessed a weed hangover, but they are real and can happen to anyone (even myself). There are, unsurprisingly, loads of studies and diagnoses on the so-called weed hangover, the earliest recorded of them being in 1985 by Chait et al., which states:

Hydro WilsonPublished 6 years ago in PotentHow Weed Affects Our Dreams
As deeper and more embedded research unlocks the secrets in the marijuana plant itself, insight into how weed consumption affects our dreams have been greatly explored. What most of these studies have come to show, however, is that cannabis may actually reduce the likelihood for one to have a dream, more accurately put: marijuana limits an individual’s REM sleep. Thanks to the 2008 study, we now know that heavy marijuana use does, in fact, disturb one's natural sleep cycle. This is what is necessary for one to even have a dream in the first place: Rapid Eye Movement requires a person to be in a very deep and natural slumber.

Benefits of Microdosing Cannabis
Like a newly rendered version of the ancient "tea break," microdosing only recently began to sweep across the culture of marijuana consumption, delivering a newfound method of not only getting you higher than a space shuttle, but rendering yourself protected on both mental and physical fronts (for far longer than even your natural high). As all things marijuana, be careful before you attempt microdosing on your own. While I may be using evidences and various concepts found from prolonged research, it's still a tested concept that needs a little more professional insight by industry leaders before it's actually set into stone. Plus, cannabis illegality weighs heavily upon scientific data and progress in adapting consumption methods of marijuana.
Alfred TaerzPublished 6 years ago in Potent Where Are the Real Standings for Marijuana Opinions?
INTRO: As many already know marijuana has officially been legalized in 9 different states. To begin this article of my opinion, I'd like to state that I personally don't believe marijuana should be legalized, anywhere for that manner. Now, before you get all pissed and decide to click off, this wasn't some random clickbait (trust me), I have specific views that are completely out of the ordinary and societal norm when it comes to this conversation. Of all the research I've ever done on weed, and all the marijuana I've smoked for the past several years I have yet to understand that at least one person agrees with my views, in fact nobody even truly knows my views on marijuana and what I think should happen with this miracle plant.

Noa Shulman is sitting at her dinner table after a long day of high school. She is eating one of her favorite snacks, mashed sweet potatoes, at the table with her mother. She begins to scream and bite her own arm. Her mother gently comforts her and feeds her more mashed potatoes, and she begins to calm down.
