Ridiculous Things Opponents Say to Cannabis Lovers

Twelve High Chicks thanks guest contributor John Levy of Pot Valet for this post on ridiculous cannabis myths. 

Cannabis enthusiasts hear people utter the most ridiculous words all the time, especially now that science is disputing previous prohibition propaganda. Some cannabis myths are persistent, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary. So bad are these lies, that they prevent the industry from expanding. With legalization come entire populations still new to the idea of using cannabis medically or recreationally.

It took decades to alter public perception about cannabis, to make society believe it a dangerous, addictive, and poverty-stricken drug. So it will take some time for people to adjust to the reality of cannabis as a safe, effective, and healthy herb that is beneficial for human health and happiness. It is likely that weed is the most misunderstood plant in the history of humankind.

Cannabis Access — Dispensaries and M.O.M.s

Thumbnail of LillieHey there, it’s Lillie, here to rep the fun side of activism: the steps forward in cannabis access that M.O.M.s provide!

The last few years of cannabis in Canada have seen the efforts of activists paying off massively. We’re still waiting for legalization, but the recommendations for it came through on schedule. While they may not be what we end up with, the Liberal government seems to be following through with this campaign promise. That our government would admit the damage prohibition does to society is a huge win for activism.

Vansterdam! What to do When Visiting Vancouver

Vancouver, BC, or Vansterdam as we affectionately call it around these parts, is a stoner’s dream to both live in and visit. That makes it a great city for Twelve High Chicks to host our M.O.M. Cup, February 24–26, 2017. You are coming to it, right?  

Visiting Vancouver

Vancouver has an array of diverse lifestyles, but one of the common denominators is being chill; we don’t live to work, we work to live. Our landscape here — with mountains on one side and ocean on the other — is so beautiful with its beaches, rainforests, and beautiful architecture that it’s hard not to feel in awe of one’s surroundings. And our varied nightlife is full of art shows, craft beer, and alternative events.

It’s not a boring city, and there are a lot of novel things to do — particularly from a stoner’s viewpoint. Here are some stoner tips if you’re visiting Vancouver for the first time to attend the M.O.M. Cup … or are coming at any time.

LP or M.O.M. — Patience for MMPR Patients

Thumbnail of Kitten PuffKitten Puff here to continue the Twelve High Chicks’ quest to find the best. And I wanted to find the best LP for MMPR patients to compare to M.O.M.s, but boy did I have trouble starting.

Let me tell you about it.

From a Mom’s Perspective

I am Canadian mother with my MMPR (Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulations) prescription for chronic pain, inflammation, anxiety, and depression.  Like a lot of MMPR patients, I had used marijuana for years to treat my health problems. Eventually, with the help of my doctors, I decided to give medical marijuana a try.

Jane’s Quest for the Best — Recreational M.O.M.

JaneThumbnail of Jane here!

Being a medical cannabis patient in Canada can be frustrating these days with all the hassles of accessing cannabis legitimately and safely. Licensed Producers just don’t always cut it. So, with so many grey areas for accessing cannabis as a patient, I decided to try ordering my buds online.

I’m searching for the best Mail Order Marijuana (M.O.M.) company that Canada has to offer. Because I value discretion in a grey market, I won’t name the sites I review. I’m sure you can figure out the recreational M.O.M. sites I tried, though.

Marijuana and the Modern Professional

Twelve High Chicks welcomes and thanks new contributor Miss J Green for this article.

It isn’t news for cannabis consumers but it might be for mainstream professionals: your colleagues are getting baked. Not at lunchtime in their cars like a bunch of teenagers — they are professionals — but after a long week in the office, the modern professional is turning to cannabis. Executives are toking up on Friday evenings instead of suffering through whiskey hangovers on Saturday mornings. Younger professionals are coming together for BBQs and breaking out the cannabis-infused edibles for dessert.

The Deal With Dabbing Safely

With the 2015 Smith ruling and the Allard decision that lead to the ACMPR, qualified Canadians can now legally grow their own bud and alter it to their purposes, include dabbing. And it’s increasing in popularity in legal states and other countries too. It’s not as simple as packing a bowl or rolling a joint, though — what’s the deal with doing it right?

Having It All — Recreational Marijuana and Intelligence

Given the immense amount of misinformation and propaganda out there on the subject of recreational marijuana and intelligence — from both sides — it’s necessary to give one’s head a good shake and really sift through the facts if choosing not to go completely on personal experience. But when it comes to intelligence we could all use a little more, couldn’t we? And we don’t want to give up smoking weed, right? So why not educate ourselves on how to make it work for us rather than against us?

I’ve done a lot of research on the topic and paired that with my own personal experiences to compile these “dos and don’ts” for those who use weed recreationally. Of course, people who need weed medically are best following the advice of their doctors, so this guideline is not necessarily for them.

Don’t Let Self-Medicating Become Self-Harm

I have been known to attempt to self-medicate my problems away. I have done ever since I was able to find someone old enough to hit the liquor store for me and I discovered that smoking pot helped me forget my problems. Now, before you shut down this article because that sentence put booze and marijuana in the same category, hear me out: when it comes to mental health, self-medicating with marijuana and alcohol are comparable.
