Thanks, Treating Yourself, reddit, and family
The past two months have shown a big surge in traffic to the site, and a TON of supportive comments and emails. Last month I made a big post on Huffington Post, and got a lot of traffic, but it … Continue reading
Vote for Ron Paul?
I’m now a registered republican so I can vote for Ron Paul in the Oregon primaries. I’m not saying I’ll vote for him if he gets the nomination (so no political commentary, please), but I think he would bring issues … Continue reading
Eventually, reality sets in
It sounds like the CBD-based medicines are the way to go for Alex, and that got me pretty excited last month when I read (and posted) about them. But after a bit, I realized it still doesn’t really matter. As … Continue reading

Prohibition update
Finally, some good news: two congressmen (Ron Paul and Barney Frank) have introduced HR 2306 to end federal prohibition once and for all. There’s no chance of this passing if your elected officials believe a “yes” vote will only make … Continue reading
Cannabis reform 2012 — I’m looking at you, California
It’s time I wrote another more generalized bit about cannabis. This site is about Alex, but I also want people to learn something new now and then. Recently, the federal government has been making a lot of threats to states … Continue reading
