After learning more about the brand, I was curious to see if these edibles would do more for me than just manage my pain. Love You Three's focus is self-care. The company was founded based on a desire to relieve stress in ... [Read More]

Mar 22nd, 2023 - " You're gonna put cannabis in dog treats? How on earth is that going to work? " Dr. Rodgers asked me.  I ran my finger across the pulsing Cephalic vein of the dog sitting in front of me. Preparing to draw blood on our patient as the vet studied the radiographs behind me.  " Yeah, I mean obviously it won't be high in THC, but I know there has to be medicinal properties for dogs as well. " I retorted as I pulled back on the plunger and the 3ml syringe began to fill with blood. I never ... [Read More]

Mar 21st, 2023 - For years, the west coast has been the domestic mecca of cannabis, a shining paradise of legalization in a sea of prohibition. But it's not 2012 anymore – over half of Americans now live where cannabis is legal, and the biggest wave of legalization reform has been on the East coast in recent years.  Things have changed quickly – the New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Vermont adult-use markets have all come online in the past 12 months.

Mar 14th, 2023 - "Raphael Mechoulam just emailed and called us." I'll never forget the warm, sunny day in Santa Barbara in August of 2018, or the excitement that came across the face of the founder of the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine when I told him the news. Little did I realize the depths of the discoveries of the pioneer who reached out to thank us for the newsletter I had written for the Academy. Working for Dr. David Bearman, who founded the American Academy of Cannabinoid Medicine, was a ... [Read More]

Mar 7th, 2023 - If you have ever had a c-section you already know coughing, sneezing, laughing, really everything can make you feel like you're just going to collapse into a puddle. It's not a great feeling at all, and not one I'd want to mix with a high.  For the first few weeks, I avoided smoking because I was literally afraid to cough. Immediately after being moved from the observation room to my recovery room, I got motion sick (which I knew would happen). There is no feeling that compares to your ... [Read More]

Mar 3rd, 2023 - This article was originally published in Honeysuckle Mag on March 1st, 2023 in collaboration with FNM.

Feb 22nd, 2023 - As the industry learns of the bad corporate behavior coming from prominent suppliers of rolling papers (and other smoking accessories) one might wonder: "I know the product I have is safe, I have a lab report for that, but what about the paper I'm about to roll it up with?"

Feb 22nd, 2023 - The news of RAW's recent court case left us all feeling a bit bamboozled. In case you missed it, as of January 31st, 2023, a jury verdict found Raw Organic Hemp to be participating in unfair business practices, essentially pointing to a web of lies covering everything from their nonexistent charity, The RAW Foundation, how and where their papers are manufactured, as well as a slew of other claims that they are now forbidden to state publicly or in any of their marketing. Since we prefer to ... [Read More]

Those with larger kitchens and or a commercial store location may not have an issue here though. Accessories: Curved spatula, spinner, removable ... [Read More]

The creator of this paper was a young William ... [Read More]
