First and foremost, DO NOT call 911. Keep your guest calm, give them a banana or granola bar, or try some of these other canna-remedies.
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.
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.
Welcome Grownups! It is my pleasure to provide you with everything you always wanted to know about cannabis, but were afraid to ask your kids.
