Somewhere between incense smoke and desert wind, the story starts to get hazy.Not the clean, stained-glass version of Jesus Christ you get on Sunday mornings—but the older, dustier one. The one that smells like oil, sweat, and whatever was burning in clay bowls under a desert sky.Because buried deep in the linguistic weeds of the Hebrew Bible is a strange little phrase: … [Read more...] about The Lost Gospel of Weed and the Anointed One

The Only Joke Is Time Itself
April 1st.A day built on lies, pranks, rubber snakes, and that one friend who still thinks putting salt in coffee is peak comedy.And there I was—standing on my porch like a philosopher in sweatpants—holding a lighter like it might reveal the truth behind everything. The air had that weird early-spring confusion to it. Not warm, not cold. Just… suspicious. Like the weather … [Read more...] about The Only Joke Is Time Itself
When Cannabis Becomes a Commodity, Its Soul Will Still Live in the Seeds
The future of marijuana isn’t going to look like the scrappy, garage-grown culture that built it. It’s heading somewhere much more familiar—something that feels a lot like the fast-food landscape. Picture it: a handful of dominant players controlling most of the market. Standardized products. Predictable experiences. You walk in, you know exactly what you’re getting, no … [Read more...] about When Cannabis Becomes a Commodity, Its Soul Will Still Live in the Seeds
High on Hope: Lighting Up the First Day of Spring
The first day of spring always shows up like a half-reliable friend—late, a little sloppy, but carrying just enough sunshine to make you forgive everything. The calendar says rebirth. The air says, “maybe.” And me? I’m standing on a back porch in a hoodie that’s too optimistic for winter but not nearly optimistic enough for spring, holding a joint like it’s a ceremonial … [Read more...] about High on Hope: Lighting Up the First Day of Spring
The Green: A Dabbin-Dad St. Patrick’s Day
I walked into a coffee shop this morning and thought I’d slipped into a cartoon.Everyone was wearing green.Not just a little green. I mean full commitment. Green hats, green scarves, green socks peeking out like they were proud of it. Even the barista had a green bow tie and a grin that said, “It’s going to be one of those days.”I ordered a simple coffee. They handed me a … [Read more...] about The Green: A Dabbin-Dad St. Patrick’s Day
Celebrating Pi Day the High Way (No Dessert Required)
Every year on March 14, the math world celebrates Pi — the mysterious, irrational number that starts with 3.14 and then just… keeps going. Forever. No pattern. No mercy. Just an endless parade of digits marching into infinity like they’ve got nowhere better to be.And honestly? That feels like the perfect holiday to smoke a little weed.Not the dessert kind of pie. The math kind. … [Read more...] about Celebrating Pi Day the High Way (No Dessert Required)
Daylight Savings Hits Harder Than My Weed
Every year it happens. Some bureaucratic wizard somewhere in Washington waves a magic wand, steals an hour of my life, and suddenly I’m wandering around my house like a raccoon that just woke up inside a Home Depot. Daylight Saving Time hit last night and I am absolutely, profoundly, chemically confused. My body thinks it’s 1978. My stomach thinks it’s … [Read more...] about Daylight Savings Hits Harder Than My Weed
How Much Stronger Does It Need to Be?
Connecticut’s Cannabis Industry Wants More Power — But It’s Already a Corporate Giant I was sipping my morning coffee when I stumbled across an article about the Connecticut Cannabis Chamber of Commerce calling for lawmakers to make the state’s cannabis market “stronger.” Stronger rules.Stronger enforcement.Stronger protections for the legal industry. And I couldn’t … [Read more...] about How Much Stronger Does It Need to Be?
Connecticut’s Cannabis Lounges Sound Great… If You’re Already a Weed Corporation.
Connecticut lawmakers are once again tinkering with the state’s cannabis industry—this time with a proposal that would allow cannabis retailers to open on-site consumption lounges, places where customers could legally smoke, vape, or eat cannabis products right at the shop. On paper, the idea sounds like a natural next step. After all, recreational cannabis has been legal in … [Read more...] about Connecticut’s Cannabis Lounges Sound Great… If You’re Already a Weed Corporation.
Hospital Gowns Don’t Have Pockets… Especially for Your Medical Weed
Here’s a weird little reality check. In Connecticut, you can legally get medical marijuana, if recommended by a doctor. You can use it at home. You can use it for serious conditions. But the second you roll through hospital doors in one of those backless gowns? Suddenly your medicine becomes a problem. That’s why lawmakers in Connecticut are now debating a bill that would … [Read more...] about Hospital Gowns Don’t Have Pockets… Especially for Your Medical Weed
