The Devil's Lettuce
We're all sitting here in a world where you can buy cannabis infused seltzer at a boutique shop that looks like an Apple store... but for about 80 years, the government treated this plant like it was a literal demon from the seventh circle of Hell. Why? Was it because it was actually dangerous? Please. If being dangerous was the criteria, we would have also banned lawn darts and gender reveal parties decades ago.

You Can't Spell Healthcare without THC
Mary-Jane is my favourite name. I'm not ashamed in saying I LOVE smoking cannabis, but not for recreational purposes. I live in England, so it is completely illegal. Nevertheless, as of 2018, the medical use of cannabis through the NHS was legalised. The smell of cannabis in England is not an uncommon one. 98% of cannabis in Britain is homegrown, and we now have more cannabis in our country than in The Netherlands. When they announced the changes and started selling CBD oil in shops, for people like me (disabled) this was hope that one day we wouldn't have to separate ourselves and feel bad for wanting to be out of pain just to go about our day.

Tips to Follow Before Buying a Cannabis Product
There is no denying that cannabis is the current buzz. You'll have a different cannabis experience if you buy a full pot bud with all of its terpenes and cannabinoids intact, a CBD isolate tincture, or recreational pain relieving balms and energy beverages. With so many products on the market, how do you know which one is right for you?

The Origins of 420, 710, and Other Weed Holidays
If you smoke weed, or even if you don’t, you’ve probably heard of the number 420 since it’s become synonymous with marijuana culture. When people think of weed holidays, the first one that immediately comes to mind is most likely the celebration that takes place on April 20th. But there are actually tons of cannabis holidays that take place throughout the year!

What is the best hair extension brand
In fashion and beauty, some choices are loud. Others whisper quietly yet transform everything. Hair extensions belong to the second category. When chosen well, they don’t announce themselves. They simply blend, move, and shine as if they had always been there.

The Voice That Stopped a War
THE MOMENT BEFORE THE SPEECH 🎤 On October 9, 2012, a fifteen-year-old girl named Malala Yousafzai was shot in the head by a Taliban gunman while riding a school bus in the Swat Valley of Pakistan, targeted specifically because she had been publicly advocating for girls' education in a region where the Taliban had banned girls from attending school and had destroyed over four hundred schools to enforce this prohibition, and the bullet that entered her skull and traveled through her face was intended to silence the most prominent voice for female education in a region where educating girls was considered a threat to religious authority and patriarchal control, but instead of silencing her the assassination attempt amplified her voice to a global volume that the Taliban could never have anticipated and that transformed a local activist into the youngest Nobel Prize laureate in history and one of the most influential advocates for education and human rights in the modern world 🌍

The Origin of The X Factor. AI-Generated.

The Heron and the Mongoose
The Heron and the Mongoose On top of a hill stood a massive fig tree. It was so huge that from a distance, it looked like a giant green umbrella shielding the sky. Flocks of white herons nested all across its sprawling branches. Whenever a gentle spring breeze rustled the leaves, the branches would sway, and a chorus of cheerful chirps echoed from the nests. The baby birds would play and practice flapping their tiny wings.

My Dogs Are on Cannabis
My sister made me do it! It will good for them she said. Of course she was talking about hemp oil, not weed, dope or whatever else you want to call it. I was inspired to share this story after reading a great expose on the history of cannabis, written by Sara Wilson, last week:
