A Look at Weed: Want or Need?
In talking about the controversies around cannabis, I am going to put myself out there and be as vulnerable, honest, and direct as possible. As a teenager, I began experimenting with pot at the age of 17 against my own better judgment. I was weary of all substances, including pot and alcohol but a cocktail of factors lead to taking that first toke. Peer pressure and curiosity seemed surprisingly overpowering, and I quickly found myself imbibing in a purple haze more often than was healthy.
Michael ThielmannPublished 7 years ago in PotentWhat to Do If You Smoked Laced Weed
In my years as a pothead (and casual drug user), there have been only a handful of moments where I have smoked laced weed without knowing it was laced. The majority of drug dealers won't add anything to cannabis, simply because it tends to cost more to do so—and because it's very bad business to sell laced cannabis to people who want the pure stuff.
Riley Raul ReesePublished 7 years ago in PotentHow to Get Rid of Cotton Mouth
"How to get rid of cotton mouth?" When you first start smoking weed, you probably have wondered that very question at least once. Cotton mouth is that dried-out, painful side effect of pot smoking no one likes. More often than not, we wake up with it.
Bethany TiamatPublished 7 years ago in PotentWhat Is Ruderalis?
I remember when I first heard the term "ruderalis" mentioned among my circle of friends. It was during a smoke session with my then-boyfriend, his DJ setup crew, and a couple of exotic dancers who were working the club that night.

If you hear people who have gone to a rave, you might expect them to say that MDMA saved their lives. After all, it's the ultimate party drug, and it's one that regularly gets associated with ravers, EDM, and burners.

Listen to your body. Body mass, age, and metabolism all come into effect when ingesting cannabis into your system. Not everyone is the same when it comes to dosage. Experiment and see what the correct amount is for your body. What may work for you may not work for others.
Johnny HashPublished 7 years ago in PotentCalifornia's Prop 64
After nearly a century of misinformation, people have finally taken a look at the war on drugs and found that it’s got some serious problems. Especially weed, which has long been touted as a “gateway drug” that would surely lead to a life of oral sex in back alleys to pay for it. Which is, of course, absurd to anyone who knows anything about marijuana. As a result of this enlightenment, the move to legalize weed as an alternative to alcohol has gained a lot of momentum, aided by the medicinal properties inherent to the plant. California, my adopted state, passed a proposition last year that made recreational weed completely legal…"kinda".
Mickey FinnPublished 7 years ago in PotentGuess What? Marijuana Is Not a Gateway Drug
One of the major risks that has often been associated with cannabis use is the idea that it will act as a "gateway drug" - or that smoking pot will make someone more willing and likely to try stronger and more dangerous drugs in the future. This rhetoric is now less popular than in the past, but there are many who insist that marijuana is just a slippery slope that leads to other drugs, and a life of addiction.
Annie KielyPublished 7 years ago in PotentWorst Ways to Lace Marijuana
In an ideal world, drug dealers wouldn't lace marijuana at all. It's an herb that is supposed to be natural and enjoyed pure, after all. Lacing it can make a regular toke turn into a deadly or permanently damaging experience.

Cannabis has a slew of medical uses, and perhaps one of the most well-known is its ability to calm anxiety. The key anxiety-quelling ingredient in cannabis that helps keep us mellowed out is CBD, or cannabidiol.
Skunk UzekiPublished 7 years ago in PotentIs Marijuana Addictive?
When you ask people "Is marijuana addictive?" you will hear a variety of very strongly phrased responses to that question. A lot of old, crusty men will argue "Marijuana is worse than heroin!" (Hi, Jeff Sessions!), while others, mainly stoners, argue that smoking grass is harmless and impossible to get addicted to.
