Cannabis Culture Shock in Germany
Written By Marge Thomas
With legalization having just happened, acquiring cannabis felt much like the days when I had to buy off the street. Not speaking the language fluently and not interested in venturing to a park hoping to find someone loitering, I called up a connection living in Berlin.

My Journey Through Life With Cannabis: How Did I Get Here? The 80s: Disco, Big Hair & A Baby
Written By Kim Cooper
I moved to West Virginia in 1981 when I was 18. By then I was consuming cannabis daily, all day long. I was a bong girl, never really cared too much for joints, which always made me cough.

Legacy Vs. Legal: The War over the Future of Cannabis
Written By Tara Eveland
There is a place for the big dogs, and we have welcomed them into our states, but now they want to totally shut out the legacy entrepreneurs and small businesses that got them where they are today, and we will not let that happen. Those of us that love this plant, those of us that have fought for years for patients over profits.
We won’t let the people that paid that cost not have a seat at this table, especially when #bridgingthelegacytolegalgap is not unheard or unattainable.
