What Is Synthetic Weed Made Of?
I've been a very strong opponent of synthetic weed. It's the only drug that I honestly think has no benefits and does nothing but hurt its users. What is terrifying about synthetic weed, aside from the fact that it's been linked to an increase in hospitalizations, is that the people who use it rarely have an idea of what's actually in it.

Everyone is raving about terpenes these days. But what exactly are terpenes? And why should you care? Terpenes are organic chemical compounds that make the amazing flavors and aromas you taste and smell in your food. They are rampant in gardens, and your weed is packed full of them too. In fact, the cannabis plant has more terpenes than any other plant in the world.

Recently, I've started taking an interest in bolstering my overall wellness with tinctures involving various extracts from cannabis. I've heard good things from friends, especially when they heard about my anxiety and PTSD issues. Since I can't get approved for medical marijuana, I might as well get the next best thing.

There are many people who like getting high and getting drunk. There are people who enjoy doing them together, there are people who enjoy doing them separately and of course, who prefer one over the other.

When most people talk about cannabis strains, they like to talk about the levels of THC that each strain has. Truthfully, there are plenty of good reasons why people enjoy getting THC in their system — most notably, the high it gives you.

So, I've been off the air, sorta, for a few weeks. My lovely wife, Debbie, has been feeling crappy. Possibly her hiatal hernia acting up bad, or gallstones. Still trying to find a specialist that doesn't change his/her mind every other day. At first, she went to the Dr's office thinking hernia. But one doc said it could be gallstones. But then, they sent her a form about putting in the "Bravo" pill in her esophagus to check for GERD. It's not GERD! There's no reflux! Friggin idiots trying to fish more money from the insurance company. They're supposed to be doing an ultrasound for the stones first! Not implant this Bravo pill in her esophagus and then have it removed 30 days later. Ignoramus!

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.

How To Pass a Urine Test
Whether we like it or not, getting a job typically means that you will be under a lot of scrutiny — much of it totally legal. Depending on your state, companies can legally ask you if you use birth control, if you have had felonies, and also if you have been fired for issues dealing with people.

Part 1: 5:30-9:30 am Saturday 10:00 am, I step into my workout space after another fifteen-minute Headspace meditation to fire up my nervous system and level the morning's cone of Super Silver Haze, Nike Metcons on my feet, ready to hit the barbell.
A Spray of Dope
Sometimes the volumes of information available by just one or two clicks can confuse both experts and non-experts, especially when it comes to the contentious topic of marijuana. To partake or not to partake; to vape or not to vape; to ingest in any form or to steer clear in favor of approved medications; to bypass the local drug dealer and head to a marijuana-friendly state; to scrupulously abide by the letter of the law, until the law becomes so arcane that mere mortals are left scratching their heads. Those are all questions that can cloud the judgment of a healthy person, let alone someone affected by mental or physical pain. Even proponents of taking “just the right amount of marijuana,” because of a purported greater benefit/risk profile compared to other medications, warn about not taking “too much at too young an age,” lest one’s neural wiring becomes totally tangled and a generation of stoners are left unable to control themselves, let alone the country. Of course, that opens up a can of worms, about how sober individuals are governing their respective domains right now, but I digress.

2017 is a big year for anyone concerned about marijuana. It may well be the breakthrough year, the time when the fight to decriminalize the up-to-now “evil" weed turns the corner. Lengthy and exhaustive scientific studies are beginning to appear that strenuously challenge our current beliefs and fears about marijuana.
