Cake Boss Review
Cake Boss by Full Power Cannabis Reviewed by: Hopper Written by: Pamela Jayne “This super tight, frosty nugget is fully draped in trichomes and shines like a disco ball.

A Face of a Million Faces
By Michael Kinney Trying to pin Andrew Martin down on a simple answer can seem like trying to drink water out of a thimble. The co-founder of Sherweed Forest admits it is a problem, especially when trying to explain what his company is. Martin sees what Sherweed Forest is, but also what it can become. […]
The Budtender Diaries- Empower Through Education
by Anna Ervin “Hi there! I just read your article in the newest edition of Herbage and it really made a lot of sense! We were wondering if you might have some insight for us as a producer/cultivator on how to better reach and connect with budtenders. We have had some ideas like […]
Tarostrology | Aries Season
March 21 – April 19, 2022 by Anna Ervin Welcome to my favorite season of the year, Aries season. Every March, whether the sun comes out or not, I crawl out of my winter slumber and come alive once again. The cards I pulled for my own placements this cycle seemed to carry an overall […]

From My Heart To My Fingertips
By James Bridges I sailed through the complexity of the day. I woke up thinking about cannabis and what it has done for me and my friends. I usually go to sleep thinking of damn near the same thing. Hopefully by the end, some of those benefits would have kicked in. One would say I […]
Get Me Out of Here
By James Bridges The car was directly across from me at the stop light. With tears from the heavens washing over our vehicles we patiently waited for the light to turn. The ridiculousness of the situation revealed itself as our two lonely and drenched vehicles sat waiting on an empty street for a light to […]
Another Sign
by James Bridges The door swung open and there was light. I couldn’t see much else other than the soft silhouette and the glow which surrounded the now more frequent visitor from the woods…her. She asked me to follow. I couldn’t resist. The bricks that have been mortared must be unsealed. As we moved forward […]
Look Into the Damn Window
by James Bridges The shell of my body stands silently looking into nothing. You’ll notice something strange if you step outside of your body while your mind is racing. You are simply standing there. Everyone else sees you as that. It’s strange to ponder. It’s as if someone slipped you some sort of wild hallucinogen […]
Stop Looking At Me
by James Bridges The floor squirted off its sounds of worn years as I walked toward the door. I stepped outside and spat. The chair invited me to settle in. A nudge around my leg as a pitch black cat sat down. I knew this cat knew that I had recently been experimenting with some […]
The Door Closed
by James Bridges There was laughter coming from the other room. I walked in and noticed a familiar someone laughing with another on a sofa. The blurred faces caused me to wipe my eyes, but to no avail. I walked closer. I started to realize that this was me. But was it? I was me… […]
Did You Find Me?
by James Bridges The mirror talks in slow motion. He wants to be seen. He wants to be heard. Blurred. I can’t see. He’s screaminging and jumping with his arms in the air. Still blurred. Faceless. Silence. I have to face this as we all do. This overwhelming fear of the unknown. This spirit crushing […]
Sweet
by James Bridges HERBAGE MAGAZINE Elegance. She’s full of it. That which makes her so appealing. I look over at the window and she’s looking through. I want to follow so I step up and walk through the door. There’s a bit of a sway as she floats across the ground. I notice her bare […]
Ouroboros Still Starving
by James Bridges HERBAGE MAGAZINE Mush. I needed my brain to be stopped. I was driving through the backroads and I had about 30 minutes left to get home. Here’s the plan: Close the garage, strip off all unnecessaries, zip, twist, burn, movie, darkness… First I needed the right fuel. Immediately I thought of Hermetic […]
Look At Me
by James Bridges HERBAGE MAGAZINE I find it fun to make eye contact with random strangers across a room and overly recognize the fact that you both have connected. Especially when I am overly medicated. I can’t imagine where this desire would derive from, but it’s there and I can’t help myself. Try it. It’s […]
Infused BBQ Pulled Jackfruit Sammies with Medicated Broccoli Slaw
by Anna Ervin & Dondi Cobb It’s that time of year again, either a vegan’s worst nightmare or the season they’ve been most looking forward to. I personally fall into the second category, but not for a lack of many, many awkward backyard bar-b-que’s spent picking through a side salad and, if I was lucky, […]

I Love Her
by James Bridges HERBAGE MAGAZINE When I was very young I would travel, a lot, with my grandparents. To this day I can still smell the morning dew on the ground as I head to the showers. I loved it. We did a ton of connecting with nature and learning about things. I never really […]
Medicated Macaroni Salad
by Anna Ervin & Dondi Cobb You know those dishes that just taste like summer? Like one bite instantly takes you back to camping trips at the lake, or BBQ’s with your family? If you’ve been following my recipes for a while, you’ve probably noticed that I begin the majority of my recipes with a […]

Not Your Mama’s Potato Soup
by Anna Ervin & Dondi Cobb Growing up I always believed my mom made the best creamy potato soup… Until I made this recipe (sorry mom). We won’t talk about which ingredients I had to ditch in order to adapt this recipe to fit my vegan diet but let’s just say it was a large […]
Bee Responsible, Grow Weed
By Tab Moura There’s been a lot of buzz around Cannabis lately, and I’m not just talking about legalization. So we know that Cannabis is beneficial, it’s been known to treat numerous health conditions, head to toe, from Glaucoma to Plantar Fasciitis… but what if our beloved Devil’s Lettuce is also capable of saving the […]
Strain of the Month: May 2021
By James Bridges | Herbage Magazine It started raining. I looked at the clock. After cursing myself for working entirely too late and long into the next day I decided to stop. I recalled stopping another time that week and my fresh hunt was waiting on me in the other room and I nearly forgot. […]
The Brain: Mind and Body
by Tab Moura I was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2019. I was 29, married, a mother, and I dabbled in MLMs and influencing. I’ve always loved writing, but those days I felt like I was slipping into oblivion and It felt so comfortable that I didn’t even think to stop it anymore. I was hosting […]
Sugar with Coffee & Cream
by James Bridges | Herbage Magazine A situation arises in a person’s life when they first venture out into the unknown. I was a young Okie. I was born in some other, most likely gawd awful, state, but I was raised an Okie. In my personal journey, I had never, truly, experienced culture other than […]
Plant Medicine for Change
by Tab Moura The house is quiet, babies are sleeping, and the sun is down for the day… it’s time to get to work. I am staring at a stack of moving boxes, child-art in crayon cover the sides. We’re moving. The time has come to graduate from this season into another. Unlike what we […]

That’s Not a Potato
by James Bridges | Herbage Magazine “So we decided to grow the real big buds.” When I was a kid I had a vision of what it would look like to be a wild man. I imagined I would of course own a helicopter, many unnecessary firearms, a pet grizzly or some sort of bizarre […]
Back to the future
by James Bridges Herbage Magazine I can’t breath. There’s something in my throat and I’m not sure what has happened. On the verge. I could try and swallow but I feel as if that may not be the right choice. Panic. The mirror only shows me more bizarre unanswered questions. What the hell is in […]
Texas – Landlocked and Surrounded by Legalization
by Veronica Castillo Texas, the second-largest state in the United States, largest city Houston, largest metro Dallas- Fort Worth, and surrounded by legal/decriminalized states on all sides- refuses to legalize cannabis for medicine. Present day, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana are medicinally legal and/or decriminalized cannabis states. Meanwhile, Texas doesn’t want smokable hemp legal, […]
Sun-Kissed Wellness
by Tab Moura As we transition into this life-giving season, I find myself pulled toward the sun like never before. There is so much in nature that we once only understood in spiritual terms until science began to explain some of the biomechanics. Not that science has succeeded in removing the spiritual component, but we […]

The Canna-Closet
by Tab Moura It’s time we unpack my cannabis origins… I did not have a positive relationship with cannabis until 2016. In fact, I was anti-cannabis until life put me in my place. My husband broke a bone in his back, a few bones in his hand, and bruised his hip when he fell from […]

Kind Origins Cannabis
by Anna Ervin When Camron Owens began growing cannabis in his home garage during the early days of Oklahoma legalization, he knew he had found his calling. “I’ve been supporting cannabis since 2015 or so, and I just love the product. I love the plant.” With a little help from his Dad, Camron transformed a […]
Compassionate IND Program
by Tab Moura The history of cannabis in the United States has some dark and terrible chapters; the prohibition of cannabis has caused irreparable harm to the lives of many innocent people. Cannabis is a plant that has been used as a pawn to manipulate certain people into compliance, which is something we’re still fighting […]
Sowing the Seed
by Chet Tucker As we move into the stages of growth, I felt it necessary to twist one up a bit and reflect on how nature (plant medicine) and ourselves are mirrors of growth. We’ve covered the genetics, the soil, the medium, the water, and the light and they all lead to the strength of […]
The Smoking Section
by Tab Moura My husband is a first-generation American, his family came here from Portugal. Their family gatherings aren’t so different from anyone else’s, but there is such variety in this family- such acceptance. They yell during soccer. They are bilingual. They make Portuguese foods from old family recipes. They tell stories of life before […]

CBD For Pets
by Anna Ervin With more and more people turning to CBD products to not only cure their own ailments, but also those of their pets, I thought it might be a good time to discuss the topic. I’ve actually been using CBD products to help manage my dog’s anxiety for years now. She’s a 15lb […]

Earth Day: The Good I Can Do
by Tab Moura When I think of Earth Day, I think of— well— the earth. The whole world. All at once. And wow… where do we even begin, right? We can talk about common topics if you really wanna, like climate, and climate, and viruses, but I feel like sometimes we miss the forest for […]
Prepared
by James Bridges | Herbage Magazine There’s a constant battle within me between my expectations and reality. It’s been pointed out to me several moments in my life. It seems as if I want more than what is possible. Even as a child. Not in a direct way. So subtle that everyone can hear it […]

Weed Like to Talk About Dandelions
by Tab Moura Spring is here! I’ve been watching the landscape closely over the last few weeks; the weeds are coming and the bees aren’t the only ones happy to see them. One of the most common weeds that I come across locally is the dandelion. Far from being the only wildflower native to Oklahoma, […]
Bicycle Day
by Anna Ervin When I was a kid, my friends and I used to google our birthdays to see what kind of weird holidays they fell on. Mine was April 19th, and to my horror, I learned that in some parts of the world this is considered Terrorist Day. Of course, at the time I […]
Found Myself in Texas
by Brittiany Ralls Visiting family and friends in Texas quickly reminds me of the days of the past. At least for a lot of the country at this point. Texas is still one of the few states that does not have a cannabis program in place that allows for a majority of their citizens to […]
