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

Tips for expanding your palate from a former picky eater

I wrote previously on this blog about how I used to be an incredibly picky eater. I mean painfully so. Especially for others around me. So selective that my husband still teases me now about what I got away with not eating as a child. My mom was highly lenient despite constant abuse from other adults who were not my parents.  You can read my thoughts on that in the other post linked here. That

How to Maximize Your High for Cardio

I’m a daily cannabis user, and as of March 2017, a total treadmill and gym enthusiast. I know it probably sounds antithetical, to the uninformed, to be both a daily user and gym rat, but here I am. And I’m not alone.  Anecdotally, many cannabis-friendly folks have commented that getting high to workout can help you push harder, with less injury. I would testify to that myself, except I haven’t worked out sober since college

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

How to Shop for and Buy Quality Cookware on a Budget

I’ve been pretty lucky in that my family has gifted me a lot of cookware over the years. When my grandmother was still alive there wasn’t a Christmas or birthday that she didn’t give me something to fill my kitchen with. At the time I was barely an adult and would often look at what she’d given me thinking, “Wtf am I going to do with a roasting pan? You’re the one who makes the

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

5 Easy Fixes to Get Back into Your Routine After a Slump

I think it’s very important to take time off. You need to recharge and relax. It’s just as important as getting things done. We are not machines, but even if we were… machines break down from overuse, too. However, as easy as it is to sit down and give yourself a time out, it’s equally as hard to get back on track. Especially if you let that break drag on a little longer than you
