Kathy T. CooleyPublished 5 years ago in PotentA Love Letter to the Emerald Triangle
This story is in some ways a very sad but ultimately a beautiful one and I hope you will soon understand why. With the legalization of marijuana on its way, there are many great things happening. And I very much believe in the fluidity of mankind; however, the black market that the Triangle once ran on is now in danger and many of us existing in this bubble believe it is the last tie to the old world.

Steven AltmanPublished 5 years ago in Potent Reasons Why Being a Stoner Isn't a Bad Thing
Stoner stereotypes aren't generally the most flattering. At best, stoners are very often portrayed, especially in media, as nothing more than comical bums, people who do nothing with their lives but smoke weed. While those characters are often beloved, they also give real legalized marijuana users a bad name, and it's just not a fair characterization of weed enthusiasts. There are just as many reasons why being a stoner isn't a bad thing at all—in fact, it can just as well be a good thing.
