You can’t actually die from cannabis, but you can over-dose, which simply means you consumed too much and feel like crap. Here’s what to do. Here’s what to do if you or someone you know greens-out.
Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE a great cocktail, and I am on a first-name basis with Stan at my local wine shop, but after decades of personal anecdotal research, I can attest that Cannabis is SO much better for you than alcohol.
These ridiculous, almost funny, anti-drug PSAs did nothing to impact drug use, but they were highly effective at creating a stigma that destabilized generations of brown and black people who suffered disproportionate punishment and discrimination just for chilling out. Seriously, not funny.
It’s the stigma, stupid. If you were already old enough to vote when the phrase “it’s the [whatever], stupid” took hold, I already know a few things about you.
Now that cannabis is becoming mainstream, the paraphernalia and accessories that go with it are going through a massive renaissance. It’s ah-mazing.
About Me
I’ve been waiting nearly half a century for cannabis to be legalized, and now that it has -- at least where I live -- it’s a whole new world out there (this is definitely not your sister’s marijuana). And it occurs to me that over the last fifty years, as cannabis has been demonized, many women my age with a less rebellious heart have likely missed weed’s wild journey to the exhaulted place it now holds.
Stigma be gone. Cannabis is increasingly legal, and new and amazing strains and products are popping up every day. It’s all so overwhelming.
That’s where I can help; consider me a dear friend who wants to gently reintroduce you to cannabis, formerly known as weed, pot, hash, the schnitz, etc.
Where once you were lucky to get whatever the law-breaking weed guy had on hand, today shopping for cannabis is like wandering the aisles of a fancy wine shop when you don’t know your Rhine from your Rhône.
If you learn nothing else from Mary Jane, I beg you to take note of this critical piece of advice. If you don’t how much cannabis to smoke, heck even if you think you do know, always Toke and Wait.
