50 More Affirmations for Stoners

It has been a few years since my first version of 50 Positive Affirmations for Stoners in the New Year and I thought it was a good time to bring you 50 more. I did not go back and reread the original set so there may be duplicates. But I don’t want to find out how unclever I actually am. Feel free not to remind me.  So here are 50 NEW Affirmations for Cannabis Users

Why I Use Cannabis Edibles

I have been a regular edible user for over a decade. Some weeks I use edibles every single day. Then there are stretches of weeks or months when I won’t touch them. I’m an intuitive cannabis user for the most part (although I’m working on finding out if there are patterns to that, more on that experiment is coming in the next few months.  And while I’ve posted dozens of recipes and various methods for

#54: Best Decarb Method

Earlier this year I kept seeing ads for a potency testing device. I saw the ads enough that I was finally like, ok, I’ll bite. Because who DOESN’T want to know how potent their homemade edibles are? That’s probably the biggest downfall of making edibles at home: not knowing precisely how potent or not your final product is.  I’ll be posting a longer review about the actual device in a couple of weeks, but in

How to Figure Out Which Cannabis Strain is Right for You

When I was younger, I used to think that cannabis was cannabis. It was either good shit or bad shit. You got lit or you didn’t. There were no choices. It was whatever your dude was able to get that week. That was back in the good old days which are still very much the current realities for a lot of people in the US. Also one of the many reasons I live in Colorado

50 New Year Affirmations for Stoners

I’m not really one of those “new year, new me” types of people. To be honest, I find it tiring to be expected to give yourself a fresh start, a new diet, a new workout routine all because it’s the first of the year. Every day can be the start of a new year.  However, I also feel like 2020 kicked my ass just like it kicked everyone’s asses. It was exhausting emotionally, physically, and

How to Create a Pandemic Safe Sesh Space for the Holidays

Usually, around this time of year, I’m … well alone-ish. Until recently, Geoff and I didn’t have any friends here in Colorado Springs. Since we’re transplants from out of state, most of our friends and family live up and down the east coast. Compound that with the fact that we both work from home and I have thoughts about the type of people who participate in group hobbies for grown-ups (mainly that the type of

Tips for Hosting a Cannabis-infused Dinner Party

It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to host a party at home. I miss it. I think the last opportunity we had to have a party was last year when we threw a little housewarming after we moved into our house. This house was made for entertaining. Laid out perfectly for a party both inside and out (even if there are some parts that need updating/fixing). It’s one of the things that

#LunchWithLo Episode 38: How to clean your pipes and bongs without Rubbing Alcohol

With everything that’s been going on, I saw that a lot of my fellow smokers were having a hard time finding isopropyl alcohol for cleaning their glass. Or if they could find it, they were holding on to for more pertinent needs than cleaning their glass (or maybe they donated to someone more in need). Regardless, I thought it was a good time to try out some new methods for cleaning my glass for when

5 Tactics to Get Through a Bad Edible Experience

I don’t want to sound too braggy but I’ve not had a bad edible experience yet. I’ve always been a little apprehensive towards substances in general and have always erred on the cautious side when it comes to cannabis edibles. However, I’ve seen a handful of friends have a bad time with either edibles or smoking to know what you need to do in the event of a bad trip. The most important thing to

[INFOGRAPHIC] The Science of the Munchies

One question I frequently hear from people about my cannabis use is how do I reconcile that with my desire for physical fitness. There’s a reason why people associate cannabis use with never ending, unhealthy snacking — because cannabis makes everything taste and smell better. It does trigger a hunger response. Which is one reason why I won’t keep my favorite lactose free ice cream in the house on the regular.   It’s common knowledge that consuming cannabis
