Being a writer, it’s not uncommon for me to learn about a topic through the piece I’m writing. When I started in the cannabis industry, it quickly became apparent to me how little I actually knew about this plant. Hell, I didn’t even know I had an endocannabinoid system until I learned about it throughContinue reading “Evolution of a cannabis smoker”

An Impassioned Plea for Your Endocannabinoid System
You don’t have to smoke the plant. You don’t even have to get high. You just have to learn how to purposefully engage and stimulate your endocannabinoid system. And I promise you, you will feel better. If you’re an average american like me, you have ache and pains. Or maybe insomnia. Digestion issues? Stress, absolutely.Continue reading “An Impassioned Plea for Your Endocannabinoid System”
A Year End Thank You
Starting a blog is something that I’ve thought about doing for years. Wanting isn’t the right word- I approached in my head with a combination of curiosity and unease. Starting a blog would give me total and complete control over my writing, published what I wanted, when I wanted to. But starting a blog alsoContinue reading “A Year End Thank You”
My Favorite Books of 2021
This year, I set the ambitious reading goal of 100 books. As we reach mid-December, I’m so proud to say that not only have I read 100, I finished before the end of year and even had time for a few extra! When I set this goal, I knew that it wouldn’t be enough toContinue reading “My Favorite Books of 2021”
A Post-Hike Meditation
See this photo here? This photo was taken over the weekend at the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. This photo means so much to me. This is me on my longest overnight ruck with my heaviest pack. This is me with my fastest mile time on the trail yet, conquering 1,000+ ft in elevation changes. ItContinue reading “A Post-Hike Meditation”
On A UFO Encounter
My fiancé and I enjoy hiking, which means we spend a good amount of time out in the woods. Since we live in Upstate New York, one of our favorite places to go is into the Finger Lakes. With hundreds of miles of rolling hills, trails, and campsites, we’re constantly exploring the area. Some hikingContinue reading “On A UFO Encounter”
On Smoking Cigars & Cannabis
I’ve been on vacation with my family in the Finger Lakes this week, and it’s been a lovely opportunity to disconnect from screens, get some time in the sun, and relax with my family. Renting a cottage in this part of the state is a summer tradition of ours, and I spent many summers runningContinue reading “On Smoking Cigars & Cannabis”
Hey Cannabis Industry, Leave Sha’Carri Richardson Alone
A few days I ago I put up an article on LinkedIn asking the cannabis industry to leave Sha’Carri Richardson alone. It’s not that we shouldn’t support her. We absolutely should. But the industry is veering off the path of support and onto the path of exploitation. Using her name in posts talking about products,Continue reading “Hey Cannabis Industry, Leave Sha’Carri Richardson Alone”
Rhonda Rousey, Edibles, & Me
The only thing I remember about the first time I ate edibles is that Rhonda Rousey lost her fight. The fight was a big deal. One of those mega-MMA fights where promotions make it off of cable TV and certain twitter feeds and into the mainstream social channels of the rest of the world. SoContinue reading “Rhonda Rousey, Edibles, & Me”
On Cannabis & Dreaming
I advocate for cannabis use for a variety of reasons, for a multitude of people. I know cannabis isn’t a magic cure for everyone, but it is a really good solution for a lot of people. Of course, like any mind-altering substance, there are drawbacks to cannabis consumption. And the one issue I take withContinue reading “On Cannabis & Dreaming”
