It is the new year, and we all know what that means. Resolution after resolution that most of us probably won’t end up keeping. I only say this because if you are like me, you can’t even remember where you wrote them down at. Anyways, if one of your resolutions happens to be eating more…

by Kayla Johnson Since the state passed 788 last summer, there have been a large number of people who have changed their minds about cannabis’ use as medicine, whether it’s because they’ve tried it for themselves, they witnessed how it helps a loved one, or they’ve simply done some research for themselves.

No matter where you come from, what you do, who you are, what gender you are or the color of your skin, there’s a place for you in cannabis. For many women especially, who generally have pushed for…
Seriously, holiday shopping is the worst. No, I do not mean the part about getting the perfect gift for the special people in your life.

Often, when people talk about how cannabis has changed their life, they mention the fact that cannabis has, in some way, helped them reclaim their life. It’s helped them rediscover life without pain, or anxiety, or whatever it is that has impacted them for so long, where nothing else has. For them, using cannabis as…

With over 1,920 dispensaries registered with the Oklahoma Medical Marijuana Authority, it can be easy to get lost on where one should start shopping. However, I think it is easier to know where NOT to start, and what better way to gain that knowledge than to know what big bright red flags to look for?…

by Kayla Johnson The sugar-powered fun of Halloween is over, and the Christmas season is waiting just around the corner, along with other beautiful holiday celebrations. As much as I love carving pumpkins, and decorating for the holiday season, Thanksgiving holds a special place in my heart for a multitude of reasons. There’s something really…
by Kathy Goff, EdD I have grown plants for many years and have heard of pH but never really paid much attention to it.

By: Brittney Graham Walking into a dispensary for your first time or any time rather, can be a nerve-wracking experience.

Diamond OG Since Carrol Channing crooned that ‘diamonds are a girl’s best friend’ in 1949, that phrase has stuck like glue over the years, with nearly every commercial for a jewelry store featuring a woman and a diamond. In all fairness to diamonds, they are beautiful, but I’ve found one that I prefer much more…
