Cannabis and Coffee
Cannabis and Coffee Ya know, some people have their favorite morning pastimes they enjoy. Some are raw and rugged and like to have a bit of whiskey in their coffee. You see, I was raised in the country and some cowboys and ranchers used to do that. Pour some whiskey whether it be Canadian or Bourbon. To the rim of the coffee cup sometimes and greeting the sun. Sometimes before the sun. Getting ready to either feed the cattle or go check on something out on the land. Always work needing to be done. And who’s to judge them right?

I felt stiff, like I was putting too much energy into holding my spine up straight. When I opened my eyes the man was sitting in front of me.

Sierra Servi SerenoPublished 2 years ago in PotentSmoking Salvia Gave me a Glimpse of Reality
I like drugs. They fascinate me — specifically, psychedelic drugs. I’ve been ashamed of that my whole life and I must say, It feels damned good to let the cat out of the bag. It doesn’t seem to fit into the modern narrative of who one should be, what one should strive for, does it? It certainly doesn’t fit into the “philosophy on life” that was crammed down my throat, I’ll tell you that much.
Alan ThompsonPublished 2 years ago in PotentWhat Happens When You Vape Marijuana Concentrates Every Day?
I'm most likely still alive and stressing I'll get up dead tomorrow. The justification behind all the fear is that I'm a medication someone who is addicted now, and I've been instructed that medication addicts end up one of two different ways: on the calm way with Jesus or dead in a trench. Since Jesus is bossy and I disdain being determined what to do, I suppose I'm set out toward that trench.
Anshul Singh TomarPublished 2 years ago in PotentHow Psychedelics changed my life. And how it may be able to change yours too?
A couple of years ago, I was so depressed I had ZERO energy, will, or desire for living. To make matters worse, I was in the middle of an existential crisis that lasted for some years, where I questioned everything about life, existence, the universe, and if I had any purpose in it, at all.

The value of a budtender: I’ve been having a lot of conversations lately about the role of budtenders. Especially the value they hold as in-the-know individuals. They’re the gatekeepers of the good good if you will. At the same time, as an ex-budtender myself and someone who’s actively looking to build a career for myself in the industry, I feel bad for budtenders.
Josh Socket WritesPublished 2 years ago in PotentBecoming An Electron; A Salvia Experience
Talking about some things is hard for my morally complex brain. I'd held the blame for everything most of my life, but too much of it was part of the reason it incapacitated me. Feeling like the worst person in the world. It's why I try to write only my story. I didn't blame anyone before, short of my bullies, and I'd only grow up with a multitude of more reasons not to. People hate the statement, but it really all is just what it is. I wouldn't want Juliet to read the story, for example, because I wouldn't have held onto it if I wanted her to have the blame in the first place. It's not going to do her any good.
The Passionate AutisticPublished 3 years ago in PotentThe first time I smoked weed
I grew up in a conservative Christian family. Drugs are bad, no sex before marriage, church on Sundays and Wednesday nights, no cursing, respect your elders. I was always the "good kid" mostly because I was too scared to step out of line. I was gullible and naive, a straight A student who spent most of his free time reading or playing video games. I moved around so often, that I was always making new friends, mostly because of the novelty of being the new kid in school. I rarely spent much time with them outside of school. I spent the Summers at my dad's with my two oldest brothers, Mike and Jesse, until they got old enough to not have to visit him any more, around the time I turned 11 or 12. After that, my Summers were mostly spent alone.

The High School Green-out that Changed My Course
January 12, 2009. The day of no return. The census was that if I smoked pot alone, I was addicted, so things only grew out of control. I was sharing it with everyone. Wasn't that one of the points of Marijuana? I wasn't keen on sharing my cigarettes.
The Passionate AutisticPublished 3 years ago in Potent Why Cannabis?
Why Cannabis? Aniyah O. Howard “We all have dreams. In order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort. This quote was said by Jesse Owens, the world record-setting Olympic athlete. An athlete that pushed against odds and injustices to create change. Change is never something that just happens, it is a process sprinkled with passion and determination. When I was younger, I always wanted to create change in my community. I wanted to provide more for minority communities that cultivated the person I am and exposed me to a different perspective of the world. Learning about the injustices that cripples the progression of communities of color, like mines, pushed me to dive into action. Being in front of the fight for change was were I started. Advocating for education reform, marching against police brutality and incarceration injustices, and endorsing community engagement with legislation. With my passion for change and equity, I have focused my activism in new direction.
