PlantieKatie RantieKatie: Death and Taxes

On January 1st, Illinois joined the rank of states which allow the legal sale of Cannabis. Congratulations Illinois! What the state soon discovered was that this “freedom” comes at a price. That price? A monstrous degree of sales tax. Thus far you can only grow your own cannabis in Illinois if you are a “medicinalContinue reading “PlantieKatie RantieKatie: Death and Taxes”

Mix Master Grub vol 2

Vol 2. I’m feeling nostalgic for the first cannabis plant I grew today. I didn’t think to clone her which was a pity. I will forever be chasing the carefree giddy high “Janie” supplied. Therefore for today’s post Christmas 420 Funsies I present: Canned Heat, by Jimiroquai. “Why?” You ask. Well … are you sittingContinue reading “Mix Master Grub vol 2”

Stigma.

Despite its now legal status in Canada, the stigma around cannabis use remains strong. The question is Why? Why is it so wrong for someone to consume a substance to ease pain or alleviate stress and anxiety? As a society we readily accept drunkenness and have mostly turned a blind eye to cigarettes for years.Continue reading “Stigma.”

Sniff, Swig, Puff

I was scrolling through Twitter this morning, as usual, looking for some useful articles when I stumbled across this: So without further ado, here is your Sunday 420 Funsies: Thank you Mara Wilson. For this, for Miracle on 34th street, for Matilda, for Mrs. Doubtfire, for everything.

Vaping 101, Apparently.

So … I do own a “digital dry herb vaporizer”. Most of the time I prefer edibles because I like the type of high and the longevity. Generally my lungs don’t allow for any tom-foolery like smoking, so the alternative is a vaporizer. I am in no way informed about vaporizers in general. The oneContinue reading “Vaping 101, Apparently.”

Mix Master Grub vol I

An Ode to Sir Elton. Where to start? Sir Elton John is profoundly awe inspiring on so many levels. He is such an amazing artist and humanitarian. In light of all his achievements how could I not feature him for a 420 Funsies? I’m a ‘lil obsessed at the moment. Admittedly, this may have somethingContinue reading “Mix Master Grub vol I”

Witches

Witches be b*tches. Or, are they in fact, healers? I know this isn’t strictly Cannabis but ’tis the season and I can’t help myself. So let’s take a look at witches and herbs. What got me all worked up? This article from High Times Magazine: It’s a bit lengthy but goes into a lot ofContinue reading “Witches”

420 Funsies

No VJ today? Nope. I’m feeling a random video clip rather than a music video. The labyrinth 420 Funsies got me thinking of contact juggling. “What is contact juggling?” you ask. It’s those cool moves David Bowie was doing with the glass balls. I say David Bowie, it wasn’t actually him. In any scene whereContinue reading “420 Funsies”
