Cannabis and Christianity
So I love smoking pot. I just started smoking about five months ago and wow. Let me just say that I was blown away. I questioned why I hadn't been doing this all along. It got to a point where I was doing a wake-and bake whenever possible and inviting friends over to get high very frequently. I enjoyed every minute of smoking and being high. The only down side I saw was that I was picking up weight due to munchies.
A Journey with Ganja
I still remember the first time I ever tried Marijuana. The year was 2013; seventeen-year-old me was fresh-faced, still struggling to grow out a beard. All of my friends at the time—minus one or two—were smoking weed already, and I was one of the last people in my group to try it. The reason behind that was because I absolutely despised smoking at the time. Call it childish and idealistic (which it was), I hated the idea of smoking because I had grown up watching my father and uncles smoke cigarettes and the concept of them doing something that actively shortened their lives infuriated me. I promised myself at a young age that I would never become a smoker...

I remember in college hanging out in a dorm with a bunch of broke, pot smokers. At the time I was a prudish non-smoker, completely anti-pot for myself, but with no judgement for others who used it. Their giddiness and fun was infectious, and all I had to do was fill their constant need for food to munch on. Those were fun times, but I never realized how much I would use what I learned from a bunch of "potheads."

Skunk UzekiPublished 6 years ago in PotentWhen Should You Harvest Cannabis?
Great question, and to answer it we'll have to delve down deep into the world of marijuana cultivation, a truly immense and immersive industry with eccentric personality. Understanding the necessity in harvesting at the right point in time is key to growing powerhouse buds with exceptional flavor and highs. However, there are a variety of different ways one can grow marijuana in the first place, specifically in either inside or outdoor crops, but there's also myriads of seed variants, lighting apparatuses, feeding nutrients, and much more that can all in effect avert the entire way growers go about harvesting. It's similar to cooking, in that you can follow your, or someone else's desired route of growing, much like a chef will follow a recipe, but it doesn't always come out to the exact same result. This is why keeping an eye on marijuana growing FAQ pages is key, and attending the other eye to the best advice from industry leaders is even more advantageous in the avoidance of error.

That's obviously an exaggerated phenomena: time travel and splitting dimensions? You must be high. Fortunately, though, these strains can definitely make you feel somewhat like that; crispier than a buttered muffin sunbathing in a Black and Decker toaster. While some people might have you believe that weed strains are mostly bullshit (more even say their meaning is nothing) I think otherwise, for many reasons. First of all, marijuana strains are important, because if they weren't, than growing cannabis wouldn't be such a high commodity industry. Second, with our modern landscape surrounding the political and cultural understandings behind marijuana, there’s much to learn from its long history. What better way to examine the long and eventful background of marijuana than through old strains of cannabis that are still popular today?

Stephen ClearyPublished 6 years ago in PotentReasons to Legalize Weed
Let's legalize marijuana. You'd think it would be as easy as saying it, or maybe as easy as rolling up a pearl joint, but even that can get tricky sometimes. As is the case with legalization. No one's died while using marijuana (at least, as far as anyone knows today), and as far as we're concerned there's more benefits in cannabis consumption than practically anything else, besides maybe Bayer Aspirin. So, why isn't it legalized yet?
Alfred TaerzPublished 6 years ago in PotentJob Hazards: The Sting of Cannabis
I hope everyone is high and hopeful out there in Cannatopia! I know I am! WOOOO HOOOOO for crop time. All those hours that my honey is away working his ass off pay off in this moment of a deep inhale off this joint of Da-Purps, working on getting my body aches right, maybe my mind will get right… I highly doubt it… hahaha… after I do this funny unload about a couple of very familiar job hazards when it comes to growing cannabis. Yeah… we all can relate or have witnessed these hazards happen to a fellow stoner; each of them stings in a different way, but both generally lead to loads of laughter and riding it out. At least in my house, we have grown to just laugh it off and move on from it because it just comes with the territory. As a matter of fact, one of the job hazards my honey has done to himself at least twice in the last two days during harvesting and all he could do was… well… nothing.
