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…
The EVRI Device by Anna Ervin When the boss man invited me to write a product review over the EVRI device, I was thrilled. I’m not going to pretend that I’m the most experienced concentrate user in the industry, but your girl does love dabs. Why? Because they’re convenient, depending on the quality of product they can taste a lot better, and if I catch them…
by James Bridges Herbage Magazine “Good, good, good, good vibrations…” The music plays and I feel free. I feel at ease. I am young and hopeful. I used to cruise my old 1961 Corvair down the PCH after work. The timeline doesn’t really matter, but no, it was not in the 60’s. This was merely…
by Anna Ervin “Don’t let me show evil, though it may be all I take. Show me love.” These song lyrics were released by Big Wild and Hundred Waters over three years ago, but as the events of yesterday unfolded at Capitol Hill, I could not get them out of my head. The range of…

by Tab Moura Going into a new year, I am excited to set new intentions that help me raise the bar of what the baseline of my health looks like. For those of us with chronic illness, learning our limits is practically the first lesson life teaches us once we enter a valley with our…
by Anna Ervin When I made this chili recipe for a family occasion a few years ago, my father-in-law went back for seconds. He said, “I don’t know who brought this chili but it’s the best that I’ve ever had.” Hearing this from the man who never lets me forget what a kook I am…
by Cassie Alexander This has been a year of unwelcome change for many people. But, what if it wasn’t such a horrible year? What if 2020 was the year you learned that you can follow the rules even when they don’t make sense to you? What if it was the year that you learned that…
by Tab Moura Dear Younger Self, I can recall a handful of times when I was asked what I would say to my younger self, and I’m realizing that what I wish you knew changes with each new phase. I used to wish I could help you avoid toxic boys, mean girls and peer pressure……
by Anna Ervin Whether you believe in energy work or not, a deck of tarot cards can be a wonderful tool for personal growth and self-awareness. The cards tell the story of the fool’s journey, a series of lessons and obstacles and triumphs that the fool (or each one of us) experiences in a lifetime….
by Anna Ervin I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Jeremy Babbitt of 918OG and I don’t think I have ever had the privilege of meeting someone so passionate about what they do. Whether he’s studying the composition and behaviors of different trichomes or designing the perfect water chilling system to process bubble…
WILL THE MORE ACT LEGALIZE MARIJUANA ACROSS THE COUNTRY? by Sarah Lee Gossett Parrish, Cannabis Lawyer One of the questions I often am asked is whether, or when, Congress will legalize marijuana.

by Micah McKamie Why Not? Has anyone ever told you that you can’t smoke weed and workout? Oh, that’s because no one ever asked? All through-out history there are instances where if people didn’t just ask “why not?” then we wouldn’t have such great inventions like the telephone or TikTok. Now I am in no…
by Chet Tucker, Arcadia Brands In my monthly contribution to “Sowing the Seed”, the goal is to share information that moves from seed to the end result of consumption, unless you prefer popping seeds like aspirin and want to bypass all the fun! But seriously, I can guarantee you that I’ll be learning along…
by Josh Leone We need more ice… During the holidays when I was in college to break free from the family madness, I was out the door before you could find your keys after hearing the faint words of “can someone go grab…? I adored my family, so someone must step up to the task….
by Michael Kinney All Sergio Villarruel wanted to do was open a marijuana dispensary in his hometown. He was one of the first people in Ponca City to apply for a license when SQ 788 was passed. At that point, it looked like it would be clear sailings and he and his wife Candace would…
3 Ways to Recharge and Beat Winter Blues this Christmas by Tab Moura I’ve spent longer than normal settling on what to share with you all today. With our first snowfall of the season under our belts, it’s safe to say it’s finally ‘the most wonderful time of the year’ again. I’ve been playing referee…
by Micah McKamie During the winter months it’s always hard to stay motivated to eat healthy due to the lack of fresh options to throw in a salad. This recipe is one of my favorite fall to winter salads that never disappoints. Full of sweet earthiness, it celebrates the years work and harvest. Not only…
by Anna Ervin Jupiter-Saturn Conjunction There’s been a lot of talk around the date December 21st lately, when Jupiter and Saturn are scheduled to meet in alignment, creating a celestial event that only happens every 20 years. Making the phenomenon even more rare is the fact that the last time these planets were illuminated this…
Are You Ready? by Amy Lee Well, we made it to December 2020. Most of us just barely hanging on by a thread, but here we are still standing, still breathing, and still fighting. That my friend is a celebration in itself. I can honestly say that 2020 has simultaneously been one of the worst…
by Tab Moura This month is the one year anniversary of when my daughters got their medical cannabis cards. I want to share a snapshot with you, but the snapshot is really just a byproduct of what I want to share today. I came to cannabis therapy by way of an Epilepsy diagnosis. Finding relief,…
Kenny Wilmath – cover artist by James Bridges A college drop out with only one thing in mind…. Stop wasting time. When Kenny Wilmath was caught red-handed by his mom drawing a picture of his grandfather he never picked up art again until way far into his 4th grade of grammar school. Kenny had something…
by James Bridges Glamorized is the place that many call a curse. It’s a curse for those of us who can’t help it. It’s a curse for those that enjoy it too much. Take the cliche’ out of it and the edge is pretty damn mesmerizing. Failing more than not I’ve let the edge take…
Affordable Staycation Tips by Jesse Clark, Soulful Travel The term ‘staycation’ has never been so widely used before.

When I was a kid I lived in southern Louisiana. I am well acquainted with hurricane season, the Saints, and I know authentic gumbo when I taste it. I attended Fish fries, camp outs, and I once had a pet chicken. I was, for all intents and purposes, a Cajun… I didn’t know anything else….

by James Bridges Fun? It’s rare. Okay, I’ll stop stating the obvious right off the bat here. I show up in the middle of an afternoon to find two grown men having the time of their lives while at “work.” That’s rare. Brian Gammill, owner of Oklahoma Medicine, and Tim Jouett, man behind the curtain…
by Tab Moura As someone who lives with chronic illness, there have been many concessions I’ve made over the years in order to make things run smoothly. For me it meant not being able to travel long distances anymore, having to spend extra on groceries so they had cleaner ingredients, and willingness to try on…
By Michael Kinney In 2016 Daniel Lewis took a trip to Santa Rosa, Calif. While the views of Sonoma County are amazing and touring the wineries can be enjoyable, that’s not why he took the 1,600 mile trip to the West Coast.

by Anna Ervin I first began visiting Spirit Fairs in 2013 when a counselor of mine invited me. It was Father’s Day, and I was told I might receive an “angel billet” from my dad. He had passed away just a year before, completely flipping my world upside down and forcing me to face a…
by Tab Moura With the year we have all had, I think it’s safe to say that many of us have never thought about our health and wellness more than we have in 2020. This month we celebrate Thanksgiving, a holiday that calls us to focus on the good— the gifts life has thrown our…
by Rayne Graham It is that time again, a time for eating until we pass out, a time for not wearing real pants, and a time for ignoring personal questions from distant family members. Yes, folks I am talking about Thanksgiving. However, in the cannabis community, we like to call it by another name and…
by Anna Ervin Whether you’re the type of person to place a Santa inflatable in your yard the day after Halloween, or the sight of Christmas trees before Thanksgiving makes you cringe, there’s no denying that this is the perfect time to start thinking about holiday gifts. If you have a medical marijuana patient in…
by Tab Moura I feel like it goes without saying, that anxiety has been a regular part of existing this year. Not the clinical kind, per say, but a very valid presentation of self-preservation while navigating a tricky situation. A very wise person once told me, “there’s anxiety, and there are limbic responses.” Anxiety may…
