Oh, sure, it has claws, teeth, and a bad attitude. It drags us kicking and screaming through political circus acts, climate doomsday forecasts, and the endless monotony of work emails. But … [Read more...] about New Year’s Dab: A Toast to the Chaotic Beauty of Progress

The Smoke Shop Hustle: Weed, Loopholes, and the THCA Gold Rush
If you've been anywhere near a smoke shop lately, you’ve probably noticed something weird creeping into the shelves: jars of THCA. No, it’s not some obscure herb for your salad. THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the non-psychoactive precursor to THC, the stuff that gets you high. But in a twist of bureaucratic acrobatics, THCA has become the darling of smoke shops, thanks … [Read more...] about The Smoke Shop Hustle: Weed, Loopholes, and the THCA Gold Rush
The Turkey’s Toke: A Thanksgiving in the Grip of the Green Leaf
Well, it’s that time of year again—the one where the national myth of "gratitude" is paraded around, wrapped in a suffocating blanket of mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and a grotesquely overcooked turkey.

Yes, … [Read more...] about The Turkey’s Toke: A Thanksgiving in the Grip of the Green Leaf

Lexican Review (Lemon Skunk)
LEMONS! Lemons! lemons... That’s all I can smell or taste with this one. This Connecticut Pharmaceutical Solutions masterpiece, Lexican—also known as Lemon Skunk—boasts a citrusy punch, with limonene at 0.12% and linalool at 0.33%.

Colorado Flo Review
This round… I reached out into the cannabis universe with hopes of a brain booster. I was looking for a real “pick me up”. The menu at my local dispensary had Colorado Flo on the menu. I’ve had it in the past and always enjoyed the flavor of this flower. The aroma was slightly fuely.

Full Throttle: A JohnsJoints Ride With Grand Prix
Let me paint you a picture. It was Wednesday, but it doesn’t feel like one of those slow, soul-crushing midweek drags. No, this day had potential.

The name alone – Grand Prix – had me imagining my brain revving up for some high-speed, dopamine-fueled race … [Read more...] about Full Throttle: A JohnsJoints Ride With Grand Prix
White Durban Review
The weekend was looming, and I needed something to keep me energized. There were errands to run, supplies to gather, and people to deal with. I had to stay baked out of my mind, yet alert and on my game. There were things to buy I didn’t care for and conversations to have with people better left ignored. I needed to melt, but I had to keep my head straight, or I’d be devoured … [Read more...] about White Durban Review
