My Journey with Mary Jane
*tsk tsk tsk* Where to begin? I guess we could start off at 13? Yeah, 13. I was freshly 13 years old when I picked up my first blunt. I had just turned 13 and the day after and I was at my best friends house sharing a blunt with a couple of other friends at the time. As most first experiences are, it was OK. It was an experience. Whoever had rolled it must've sucked at rolling because I didn't really feel anything. Or at least I thought I didn't. It was my first time smoking so I wasn't sure how I should feel. I remember there was about six or seven of us on this one blunt (I know, it's so many heads on one). But that's how you gotta roll when you have no money at 13. It was a few of us trying it out for the first time, so it was definitely memorable.

For How Long Can THC Be Detected in Our System?
Photo Credit: Vaping360 Whether you are a medical or recreational marijuana user, occasional or a regular consumer, it doesn’t hurt to know how long does the drug stay in your body. Because there might come the time when you could be asked to take the marijuana drug test by your insurance company, employer or a roadside police officer.

Anatomy of an Active Stoner 5
Previously on Anatomy of an Active Stoner: Sunday Morning. Sunday, 1:39 pm A massive gray cloud hovers over the city park to conquer its sky. Victory rain ensues. What an efficient crowd repellent. The place empties faster than a dull stand-up comedy. Everybody runs off into their cars or underneath the nearest rooftop, faces sad and angry.

The Joys of Cannabis
The alarm goes off at 6:45 and I hit the snooze button as I’m overwhelmed with a huge wave of nausea. Taking a deep breath, I reach for my loaded pipe and lighter taking a hit and breathing slowly. I lie still for a moment and take another hit as I feel nausea begin to subside. One more, and I’m ready to get dressed and ready for the day.

The Reality of Narcan
Recently I have seen a lot of articles and debate about Narcan, the drug that when administered, saves a person from an overdose on opiates. In the midst of a serious heroin epidemic, it is important to have the information necessary to make judgements and decisions based on fact, rather than heated emotions. Chances are, most of you reading this have either been directly affected, or know someone who has been affected by this devastating crisis. One opinion gaining widespread popularity is that the use of Narcan is enabling addicts to continue to use because they know the life-saving drug will be available. Some have even said addicts knowingly overdose at “Narcan Parties”, only to be saved and continue to inject heroin. Another objection to Narcan I have seen spread on social media amounts to something of the effect of, “Life-saving drugs should be administered on people who actually value their lives.” I am taking on the daunting task of putting my passion about the subject aside to address these concerns. My goal is for every person to walk away from this article able to make more well-informed thoughts, judgements, and decisions.

Best Detox Drinks to Pass a Drug Test
Sooner or later, all stoners will know the anxiety of an upcoming drug test. Depending on how much heads up is given, these tests can send a person into a state of mild annoyance or all-out panic. In some cases, people are absolutely right to worry. THC stays in the system far longer than most other drugs. This means that even though there are far worse drugs and public opinion on marijuana is shifting, smoking weed is more detrimental to your job hunt.
