What up! How many times have you been reminded that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence on hemp paper?  Interestingly, colonial America's history with hemp is far deeper than that little anecdote. So important was the hemp plant - and...

What up! The self-revealing nature of the cannabis plant - its pungent smell - has long been exploited by law enforcement & used as an excuse for them to destroy lives. Numerous times, this matter has been brought before the courts with the rulings being a mixed...

What up! We have all heard about fentanyl and all the people who are dropping dead from it.  It's a tragedy. The places where could point our fingers in blame are numerous... the corrupt medical establishment, the war on drugs, and the propaganda,...

What up! In 2018, Congress passed their annual Farm Bill - this time with a provision legalizing the cultivation of industrial hemp.  Twenty years prior, in 1998, Canada did the same thing. Then, three years later, they legalized cannabis for medical therapeutic...

What up! Before the DEA, there was the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs.  In 1972, NORML (National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) and the American Public Health Association teamed up to petition for marijuana's medical value to be...

What up! Every once in a while, it's difficult not to go down some kind of YouTube rabbit-hole.  Over the last year, the two primary rabbit holes that their algorithm took me down were stories from people telling their sasquatch/bigfoot experiences and...

What up! In the '90s, General Barry McCaffrey served as Bill Clinton's drug czar.  For McCaffrey, czar was the perfect term to use.  After promising to cut "youth drug use" in half within ten years, his tactics were exactly what you'd expect from a...

What up! Yep, we moved. We packed up all our stuff, loaded it in a truck, drove it across town, and unloaded it into a new house.  All this while juggling multiple work schedules, school schedules, gymnastics schedules, and all the taxi driving to go...

What up! After the Gulf War of the early '90s, Dr. Tod Mikuriya began treating Desert Storm veterans for PTSD.  He found that many of his patients, which also included vets from Vietnam, smoked cannabis to mitigate flashback nightmares as well as...

What up! A big part of the Reagan presidential administration's legacy is related to Nancy Reagan's "Jusy Say No" campaign.  Between that, the Comprehensive Crime Control Act, & elementary school D.A.R.E. programs, the Reagans left us a world of...

What up! No, it hasn't exactly been a year that we've been in business - we've still got a couple of months to go before we hit that milestone. But we have made it a year in another sense... Our first sales after we launched this e-commerce business last year took...

What up! Cops first made their way into schools in 1983, ostensibly to help teach young children about the dangers of abusing and becoming addicted to drugs.  It sounds innocent & benevolent enough, but as is often the case with government programs, the truth...

What up! Three years after taking office, Ronald Reagan signed into law the Comprehensive Crime Control Act, a piece of legislation that was anti-freedom in numerous ways.  Not only did the act increased federal penalties on the possession, cultivation,...

What up! An important, yet rarely acknowledged fact about the plethora of unjust laws on the books (such as the prohibition of cannabis) is that those laws would stand for nothing if not for the willingness of cops to enforce them. The only reason that...
