This may seem like a silly question, but the answer is genuinely fascinating. Most of us don’t really think about how weed gets us high, or how alcohol gets us drunk or whatever it is you put in your body for fun. 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]
We all know that working in an office isn’t amazing for you or your brain, speaking generally of course. People who work primarily in offices can struggle with a variety of physical and mental issues if they aren’t careful. Sitting in front of a computer all day in an uncomfortable chair can be extremely wearing on a person. Especially if you work under bright fluorescent lights with people you don’t like very much. If you work in an office then self-care is extremely important. Waking up, g...[Read More]
Welcome back to part 2 of Cutest Games To Play High. In our last part we discussed a variety of games to suit any gamer or stoner palate. We looked at the emotional and stunningly designed epic Spiritfarer, the adorable and crime-filled Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, and the gorgeous yet challenging dungeon crawler Hades. I believe that cute games are the best way to relieve stress and they often get underrated because of their adorable nature. They can be just as difficult, involved, power...[Read More]
For quite some time we have known that weed can be great for those who suffer from general nausea caused by medication or treatments. However, when it comes to motion sickness or sea sickness the body isn’t experiencing quite the same reaction. Motion sickness comes from a different place to general nausea. It is caused by the bits of you used to sense movement such as the eyes, inner ear, muscles and joints. Rather than an upset stomach it is information confusion that causes nausea, dizzines...[Read More]
Many of you will have heard about the most recent Curaleaf scandal, but unfortunately, it really isn’t getting the media traction it deserves. Curaleaf Holdings Inc. is an American cannabis company that is currently being sued by two employees over the theft of tips to the tune of around $50k. Interestingly this isn’t the first legal battle that this company has been involved in or even the only current legal issue involving the company. So let’s have a little look at who the company is, wha...[Read More]
This morning I woke up to a coffee by the bed and blazing sunshine outside so I’m definitely in the mood to listen to my happy playlist and do a little look into the best sunny weather strains. When it’s gorgeous outside, especially if you’re in Scotland and you haven’t seen the sun properly in over 6 months, we definitely don’t want to just go for any old strain. We want euphoria, energy, creativity, chattiness, maybe a little snacky if we fancy a picnic. If hot weather isn’t something you’...[Read More]
We talk a lot about great video games for stoners, the best strains to smoke while you play and so on. There are just so many types of games around and they all suit different moods and purposes. If you’re stressed out, overworked, or just need some decent down time then I think cute but well-made games are the best option. There are so many varieties all of which work the brain to different levels. Some you can just sit and play mindlessly while you watch cartoons. Some you follow a beautif...[Read More]

Though smoking weed is generally a super fun time there are a few negative side effects that pop up if you smoke a lot. I guess these aren’t all physical issues, and there are a few other things to take into consideration if you smoke. Harm reduction with any drug is important but it can be easy to fall into some negative patterns and spaces when smoking a lot. We have looked before at how cannabis addiction works, but we also can find ways to reduce issues like smoker’s cough, anxiety, gett...[Read More]
As far as I’m aware basically every single person I know over 25 has some form of IBS, otherwise known as irritable bowel syndrome. Whether it’s because you will not stop eating cheese for any reason other than it causing immediate death, or that you’ve just always been that way, it can be a real pain in the butt. I’m sorry that’s the only joke like that I’m going to make I promise. IBS is an extremely common issue that can happen for a wide variety of reasons. While weed can’t exactly cure ...[Read More]
So I don’t know, I have never nor will I ever have children. I genuinely hope that my uterus disappears in a freak magic accident and I never have to deal with the fear of pregnancy or creating a small person ever again. However, for all of you lovely people who have had or want to have babies, do you need to give up smoking? Nah, not really. There is actually an entire online community of parent stoners. For many it’s considered a healthier and more appropriate alternative to drinking, it’s...[Read More]
We will often see strains that claim they are good for treating PTSD, but what does that mean? When we talk about weed treating depression, stress or anxiety it is relatively easy to understand. The way in which weed affects our endocannabinoid system means that it can alter the way our brain produces chemicals. Often the causes of depression or anxiety disorders are chemical, or at least can be partially treated by altering brain chemistry. PTSD and complex PTSD are a little different. They a...[Read More]

In the last part of this article, we looked at how cannabis can help in the treatment and recovery of anorexia and bulimia. Both of these illnesses come from deep-seated mental places and are laced with a need for control as well as a shame or hatred towards food. Of course, most eating disorders have some aspect of a poor relationship with eating, but not always in the same way. So in this article, we will have a look at some other likely lesser-known disorders and whether or not cannabis c...[Read More]
Ok so this is something I was idly wondering about and when I looked it up it turns out that yes, cannabis is a bee friendly plant. Over the last few years it has become more and more important to plant with bees in mind. We want to attract bees to our gardens to help them stay healthy, find a place to grow a hive, and safely make more very small bees. Strangely enough there hasn’t been a massive amount of research done on the connection between bees and weed until relatively recently. Mostl...[Read More]

I know I am a fan of writing about women and the cannabis industry but it’s international women’s day so I’m doing it again. Previously I’ve covered the sexism that is still rife in the world of weed and previously I have looked briefly into the important women involved in the industry. This article is going to delve further into why it is important that the cannabis industry is becoming more female forward, the women who have made it possible, and the support available to women who are look...[Read More]
