by Tab Moura I have a confession to make, I am one of those plant ladies. I’m in the fan club, but I didn’t used to be. I guess that’s not that big of a surprise, considering my track record. These days my arms aren’t big enough to collect all of the pretty pinecones I…
by Micah McKamie With spring right around the corner and who knows we might actually get to have cookouts this year, I decided to share my medicated ColeSlaw recipe. Now there are a lot of ways to do this, but I really like the fun slaw methods. One of my favorites is a Hawaiian slaw…
Eliminate the Struggle by Micah McKamie When building your workouts, one of the things that I consistently see is a lack of focus towards routine and consistency. “Finding” a way to “Fit” your workouts in throughout the week is setting yourself up for failure. Too many times we go into the planning and scheduling process…
by Brittiany Ralls Have you ever been to a place that felt like home even without ever being there? Being back in Houston has me feeling like I’m home. Which to be honest I’m not really in Houston, but rather the surrounding area, closer to Galveston. Being near the ocean puts my body at ease…
by Tab Moura I remember the first time I stepped onto that fuzzy, blue, spring-loaded floor. My older sister was a gymnast, she was on the varsity team of a local gymnastics team. As a youngin, I mostly just watched from the lobby, but during their competitions, we could watch from the sidelines of the…

by Chip Paul GnuPharma Some of you are old enough to recall the effort that Austin TX started maybe 20 or 25 years ago. Austin made a very conscious effort to become the hub of the next Silicon Valley. They created State incentives, they started research, they started University level programs. They attracted the first…
by James Bridges Herbage Magazine It’s been about a year. I was turned on, I’ll admit I’m guilty of it. At first I was curious because of the branding and logo. However, I was not disappointed and certainly have not been since. I haven’t visited the flower that enticed me from this aptly named essential…
by Anna Ervin I used to tell my husband that I loved him “to the moon and back infinity.” Today, you’re more likely to hear me say that I love him more than spicy peanut noodles, because I genuinely believe that’s more than a trip to the moon, multiplied by infinity. I cannot remember the…
by Tab Moura “Yesterday I was clever, so I chose my own weed. Today I am wise, I let the weed choose me.” It’s catchy, right? This is a silly rhyme I say to myself while I’m shopping at my favorite dispo. When I’m browsing the shelves, and the sales, and the terps, I can…
Photo Cred: Angelyn Moura | Written by Tab Moura I’ve never been one to believe in soulmates, but if soulmates are a thing… I guess you could say he’s mine. The first time I saw him, 10 years ago, there was so much going on, so many people around. I couldn’t tell you what he…
by Anna Ervin I think it is safe to say that for obvious reasons a lot of us have been feeling restless lately. Being cooped up at home has many people looking for new ways to stay entertained, or perhaps returning to old ones. One industry, in particular, has seen a substantial increase in sales…
by Tab Moura When I was a senior, my family moved across the country to Montana. If you remember an earlier article I wrote about growing up in Louisiana, this is what came next. I went from fireflies and bayous to more stars in the sky than I’d ever seen before. At least that’s the…

At the end of the day, we’re producing a medicinal product so quality isn’t an option.” by Veronica Castillo, Photo Credit: Happy Hour Medicinals– Instagram I am so happy to be the writer assigned to the small-batch…

by Veronica Castillo Self-care is usually seen as bubble baths, candles, and presents for self. These are great ways to offer thy self some “me time” and relaxation, but is love shallow- sitting right there at the surface? Love is deep and intentional, right? And so, this Valentine’s Day, practice loving self, with self-care that…
by Tab Moura “I decided to try cannabis” I whispered… my hands were sweating, the hair on my arms was raised, I was nervous to look her in the eye. “I am only here at church today, because of cannabis.” I was speaking to one of the pastors’ wives at my church, she had prayed…
The Journey by Micah McKamie One of the interesting things that I found over the last year and through my training through terps journey was how crucial mental health is to the process. This is not an article telling you to move away from your meds or to go cold turkey into this process, because…
by Cassie Alexander I think it’s pretty safe to say that we are all happy that 2020 is behind us now. It was definitely a year to remember, and for most of us, we won’t remember it fondly. When the pandemic hit, so much of our lives changed. We worked from home, the kids did…
by Tab Moura I think it was the sound of my daughters laughing that brought my drifting thoughts back to earth. I was sitting with my back facing the window, watching as my shadow was cast on the far wall. I probably looked like I felt self-conscious, did I look like Pinocchio demonstrating how he…
Seed to Soil by Chet Tucker Last month we started with the importance of genetics, the seed. This month we move to triggering the birth of the seed and what most growers use to feed the budding seed outside of water, soil. Every farmer is different and some might mention that water is required next…

by Tab Moura My daughter gasped as I was driving my van down the road the other day; I had a glass of water in one hand and my left hand on the steering wheel. This isn’t a big deal to me, I learned how to drive on a Ford Ranger with manual shifting… and…

by Brittiany Ralls In the last piece “How Sustainable is the Cannabis Industry?”, we chatted about how cannabis sustainability is hindered in part to laws that restrict the ability of businesses to be able to be more sustainable. Huge bummer, I know. But, that doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to participate in programs or come…
by Tab Moura I was up late last week, medicating before heading to bed, when I asked myself a question that was more loaded than I realized. “I wonder if my children will remember the days before cannabis.” While I watched the smoke swirls dance with the light above the kitchen sink, I drifted… I…
by Anna Ervin Before I had even the slightest clue what 2020 would hold for us, I was preaching that based on numerology the year would be a four (2+0+2+0=4), which represents foundations. I told everyone I knew that “this will be a year of stability and growth.” I’ve been laughing at myself ever since….

by Tab Moura After 12 months of dust storms and tumbleweeds, it was time to make the miserably long, brown drive from my apartment in Lubbock, to my parents’ place near Houston. Going home after leaving home is an indescribable experience. For some people, home wasn’t a safe place; for others leaving home is the…
by Anna Ervin When I first made the switch to a vegan diet, the one meal that I craved more than anything else was my mom’s Green Chile Enchiladas. I talked about them all the time, to the point that she finally asked me how we could change up her recipe to meet my dietary needs….
by Tab Moura “2 am isn’t so bad,” I said to myself as I scrolled Pinterest. I am not going to sugar coat this, insomnia is definitely my least favorite neurological symptom. It’s the one I’ve lived with the longest, and even now with so many lifestyle adjustments… here I am. Writing a blog, because…
by Sarah Lee Gossett Parrish, Cannabis Lawyer In the wake of passing the MORE Act, which I wrote about in my December 2020 column, two other Acts related to marijuana were passed by Congress at the end of 2020. The U.S. House of Representatives approved the Medical Marijuana Research Act (“MMRA”) on December 9, 2020….
by Anna Ervin Pura Vida When Jason and Jennifer Hicks packed up their family and moved to Costa Rica for a few years, they learned to embrace the Pura Vida lifestyle. I recently had a chance to visit their facilities in Durant, Oklahoma, and found that Hicksford Farms is the perfect representation of “the pure…

by Tab Moura These cold weeks always make me pensive… perhaps the cold weather atmosphere makes time feel slower, perhaps it’s all in my imagination. What I know for sure is winter puts things in perspective for me like no other time of the year. As a mother, I have experienced such a rollercoaster of…
by Chip Paul At this writing 2020 is coming to an end. Perhaps the craziest year of my lifetime. In addition to not knowing the truth about a mask, we cannot even conclude a Presidential election. We are beginning to learn about numerous foreign influences in our politics and major institutions. I would wager there…
by Amy Lee Congratulations! You made it through one of the craziest, toughest years in history, thus far. Whether you felt it physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, or spiritually, you’re still here and for that I am grateful. While 2020 may not have been your year, 2021 is your response. How will you bounce back from…

by Tab Moura I have been pacing my bedroom for an hour trying to come up with the words to write a post I never expected to write. I am writing this on January 7th, I don’t need to remind you what has taken place over the last 24 hours, or the last 10 months…
by Chef Sebastian Carosi Generally, around late August we start to see the plethora of winter squash ripening. Then over the next few months, you will see everything from curry to hubbard, and buttercup to delicata. Winter squash are some of the most delicious, nutritious, and versatile ingredients of the autumn season. Unlike their summer…
by Micah McKamie Over the last 20 years, workout supplements have come and gone. Companies produced products like Creatin, Plasma Jet, Hydroxycut, etc. without regard for the safety of the consumer. Within the FDA it is known that a product could stay on the shelves for years before it can legally be taken down, regardless…
by James Bridges Herbage Magazine The next thing is coming and you should be totally prepared. You just don’t know what it is… There was a time while on a family vacation I was surprised by the fact that one of those vacation days were to be device restricted. I was quite pissed at the…
How Cannabis Created a Safe Space for Healing by Tab Moura I still remember how that library smelled; stale, cheap floral- mixed with books. You know the type, perhaps one too many glade plug ins. I sat there sweating through my blouse as I read the questionnaire. “Experiences little interest in doing things they once…
by James Bridges – Herbage Magazine Grower – Pharm+House OK From the corner of my eye the couch calls my name. It’s late. It’s been one hell of a day. It’s time to bake. I opened the seal and out came the sweet terpine punch my nose required to embrace what was about to medicate…
