B aked Smar+ has a great idea, and it would have saved friends of mine numerous hours, or at times, days, of unintended and undesired “Super Surprised Stoned Sessions.” Those sessions were brought on by people inadvertently consuming edibles made with cannabis, namely my extra strong cookies. Even though they were always placed in a […]

Pass the Pet Peeves
Opinions are like…you know what. And even this cannabis columnist has one. Or two.
W hen I’m not writing this weekly “weed comedy” column, I’m working in numerous other aspects of the cannabis industry. It’s a great way to spend long hours making a shocking, depression-inducing (small) amount of money, so I strongly encourage all the children reading this to stay in school. And to stop reading this. While […]

W hat if I could tell you about a newly available machine that makes your weed and trim stronger? And it’s not complicated; if you can press a button, you can make it work. If you can’t press a button, well, increasing the potency of your cannabis is the least of your concerns, my friend. […]

Drama at the Cannabis Congress
“P olitics make strange bedfellows” is a well known quote by the American essayist and author Charles Dudley Warner. It’s a succinct way to say that you will work with someone you find horrific if it means it is politically valuable to do so. For decades, the cannabis industry was solely in the “unregulated marketplace” […]

C is for Cookie
Our take on two varieties that didn’t come from your (stoner) grandma’s kitchen
“D o you like cookies”? I ask. “Well,” you answer coyly, “I’m trying to be “good” this month and avoid gluten. Plus, I just restarted my vegan diet, yet again, but I just love butter so much, I’m so bad, tee-hee….” Well, golly, TMI Tammy, that’s swell and all, and, you know, gluten-free kudos. But […]

Christ on a Cannabis Crutch
B y most any standards, I would be considered a Heathen. The wormhole for word nerds, dictionary.com, defines Heathen thusly: Noun, plural heathens, heathen 1) (in historical contexts) an individual of a people that do not acknowledge the God of the Bible; a person who is neither a Jew, Christian, nor Musum; a pagan.

Jeff Sessions Is Going To Hell
A recent column, “Scenarios for Cannabis under Trump,” a topic which has been explored by my far smarter canna-lawyer colleagues, has already grown outdated. That’s because the cannabis policy undertaken by Attorney General Klu Klux Keebler is perfectly in line with the various national “policies” set forth by Fake Tan Hitler. Both are unhinged, unpredictable, […]

Yeah, yeah, we get it—you came for the eclipse… but it doesn’t hurt that Oregon happens to have great beer and legal weed, too.

Vape like a bong and do it in style
I f you are anything like me (and by all that is holy, please let that not be the case) you’ve probably said to yourself many times: “Sure, I enjoy vaping, but, by God, I enjoy my bong, too. Won’t someone think of my needs, the vape- friendly bong lover?” Dear reader, your voice has […]

Coffee, Cannabis and Smugness
O regon offers an amazing array of three things: coffee, cannabis and a sense of smugness that is palatable when bikes, beards or microbrews are being discussed. (“It’s called “Fixed Gear Red Whisker Ale,” and it’s the best beer ever made by anyone, anywhere.”) I don’t enjoy biking, rarely drink, and as I can only […]
