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 Oklahoma’s patient rate is catching national attention, and for good reason: 5% of our state population now carries a medical cannabis license, and the number continues to climb each month as more patients are approved. Some of them have never consumed cannabis before it was legalized, while others have been toking since…

Others took the…

by Brittney Graham Back in March I had the amazing opportunity to sit down with Lucky’s Grow Supply owner and Cannabis community gatherer, John Degerness. We discussed what lead him to open Lucky’s and where the store and brand were headed within the Oklahoma cannabis community in the future. Art, music, nightlife, culture, grow equipment,…

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.

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. This is due in part that Oklahoma still has a very new and budding cannabis industry. This means that there is less educational information or informed individuals than other states that have had their go…

by Kayla Johnson Oklahoma’s cannabis industry is showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

by Brittney Graham Decriminalization VS. the legalization of Cannabis seems to have been a heavy point of debate in Oklahoma over the past few years.

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…
