Finding Peace Amidst Chaos: A Story of Love, Loss, and Edibles

Finding Peace Amidst Chaos: A Story of Love, Loss, and Edibles

Written By Marge Thomas

Most people find change hard, we like comfort, security, and the feeling of knowing what’s next. Change is disruptive. When I found myself engaged in yet another argument with my spouse, the words of a friend popped into my head: there’s comfort in the dysfunction.  

It’s hard to recognize when a relationship has run its course; to see that two people who used to be synchronized now want different things from life, their paths diverging. It’s hard to let go because it feels like failure and it hurts.

Vermont Ski Shoppe Product Review

Written By Casey Renteria

Despite spending 5 years in rural towns in Alaska, snow really isn’t my thing. The extent of my frozen adventures began and ended with snowshoeing. I sunk up to my butt and that was the end of it. Despite my experience, there is a peaceful almost tranquil nature to being outdoors in the snow. Basically the perfect environment for a good sesh. I got connected with JB Sugar and heard how he took people's love of snow sports and meshed that with his love of cannabis. Enter Vermont Ski Shoppe.

I opened my mailbox and found a small white bubble mailer. A Grinch-like smile crept up on my face as I rushed home to enact my plan.

Trojan Horse Cannabis: Gummy Review

Written By Casey Renteria

A trojan horse isn't typically something you'd be overjoyed to see show up at your house. It has a long history shrouded in mystery. This trojan horse isn't that but it is a mystery how they pack such a huge punch in such a small vessel.

Fat Nugs & Impeccable Vibes: The 19th Annual Emerald Cup Awards Recap

Written By Isabella DeChard

Just over 19 years ago, nestled up on a hill in the redwood trees, the (then underground) cannabis community of Northern California came together to create a friendly competition around cannabis cultivation. 

Hosted at Area 101, a small campground and gathering spot in Laytonville, Mendocino, a group of friends – consisting of passionate cannabis farmers, (now) legacy growers, and stoners – would party together through the night to honor the start of another cultivation season.
