Alcohol is a pretty boring explanation but weed has such a complex variety of effects on the body that I just had to find out why. How come it changes from strain to strain, from person to person. Why does the same strain that makes my friend super chatty and giggly make me want to f...[Read More]
Designing Your Life Through Habit and Routine
When it comes to discipline and direction, I’ve spent most of my life unaware that I had control over a majority of my experience each day. This mentality bled into my vision of the future, negatively. I was reactive, instead of proactive. A major turning point in my life was when I realized that at the end of the day, the only person who had real control over my life was me. Despite every outside force that weighed on me throughout the day, I had the power to change what my life looked like. I ...[Read More]

No matter the difference in growing, what are the other differences between indoor and outdoor weed? This is a topic I’ve never really considered before but of course, there must be differences in two of the ...[Read More]

California Governor’s Plan To Restrict Hemp-Derived Cannabinoids Appears To Be Dead For The Year
A California plan to usher in sweeping changes to the state’s marijuana and hemp markets appears dead for the session after a Senate committee did not call the bill for a vote Thursday ahead of an end-of-week deadline.

It’s a...[Read More]
