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.

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. The coronavirus pandemic has waylaid travel plans and left many of us with a bare-bones budget anyway.

by Tab Moura When this year began, my goals seemed so open and shut. I had multiple big opportunities on the horizon, and I just knew that this would be a year that launched me toward bigger and better things. I chose a word for this year, “fire,” thinking that this would be one of…

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 Chip Paul | Chief Innovator GnuPharma At this writing we are a few weeks away from perhaps the most important election in our history. Further, it seems our world is upside. Covid, corruption, rioting in US cities. What to make of it all? I tend to take the optimistic view. How do you create…

by Tab Moura When seasonal depression first reared its head in my life, it consumed me… it tipped the scale and I fell into a cycle of depression that took a few years to learn to manage.

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. Lewis was attending the Emerald Cup, which he describes as the biggest Cannabis…

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…

by Brittiany Ralls With an ever-growing population, sustainability is going to be an important topic of discussion within the cannabis industry. Recreational and medical cannabis offer little solutions at the current moment to combat the amount of waste created by the cannabis industry. From the start of growing the plants to the process of selling…
by Anna Ervin You can never truly know what to expect from an Oklahoma winter, but this year the Farmer’s Almanac predicts a particularly temperamental season featuring a whole lot of snow and cold weather. My dog, Lucy, has a ridiculous amount of energy and there’s absolutely no way we’d survive a winter stuck in the…
by Brittiany Ralls Ever see that little flower making its way through that concrete crack, not letting anything stop it from growing? Growing up in areas that aren’t always kind to those that are different doesn’t stop those who are different from existing, growing just like that flower, despite the concrete that tried to stop…
by Tab Moura What does it mean to be mindful and present in a year like 2020. We have everything from virtual class, virtual work, virtual yoga, virtual birthday parties… the old advice of “put away the phones and tablets, be present,” is becoming impossible, but being present is more necessary than ever before. Well,…
Cover Artist Tim Jessell by Michael Kinney When cover artist Tim Jessell explains to school students his most famous work of art, they often look at with a quizzical look. Trying to explain the connection between NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley and Godzilla often garners him confused stares. In the late 1990s Jessell…
by Veronica Castillo It’s obvious and clear in many homes that this pandemic has shifted, and balance within many homes is no longer. Nearly 93% of homes with school-age children report some form of distance learning during COVID-19. Parents and kids are at home at the same time, going to school, and going to work….

by Veronica Castillo Dear United States Government, Many of us grew up in a time where weed/ marijuana/ cannabis was taught to be negative; a bad drug. Remember the fried egg commercial: “this is your brain (whole egg), this is your brain on drugs (cracked egg frying), any questions”? Such loads of buffalo crap when…
by Rayne Graham It is #croptober and cannabis growers couldn’t be more excited! I am speaking from a place of pure happiness when it comes to harvesting my cannabis plants. What is Croptober you ask? Basically, us lucky ducks in the Northern Hemisphere get to witness the outdoor crops coming in. The hashtag is a way for…
by Amy Lee When it comes to terpenes I definitely have my favorites and more than likely it’s going to be something strong and peppery such as caryophyllene. There is something alluring about the strong peppery smell and flavor that my body craves. It’s often said that the “nose knows what the body needs” and…

by Rayne Graham This time of year marks the beginning of celebrating traditions. Think about it, all the holidays coming and the things we do every year around this time to commemorate them. Trick or treating during Halloween, the big turkey dinner for Thanksgiving, Santa and his cookies for Christmas, and so on. While traditions weigh heavily…

by Brittiany Ralls In a home built in 1912 sits a little dispensary, beautifully redone on the inside, keeping as many original pieces of the structure as possible, including the kitchen sink….. pun intended.

by Cassie Alexander, LPC My dad thinks he is pretty. Just ask him, he will tell you. While you’re at it, ask him if he thinks I am pretty. Do you know what he will say? “Almost as pretty as me.” Any girl that grew up around our family has had the same argument with…

by Rayne Graham There is no question at just how popular medical cannabis is in Oklahoma, I mean there are more than 2,200 dispensaries alone. To put that into perspective, there are more medical marijuana dispensaries in this state than there are Mcdonalds and Starbucks combined. With so many brick and mortars, there are…
by Veronica Castillo Many people leave work and can’t wait to get home for their- release the day sesh. Evening munchies are the trickiest because, after a long hard day at work, why would you tell yourself no? After saying yes to everyone else, why would a no be ok for you? Well, focus it…
by Veronica Castillo For some people, Cannabis is consumed for assistance with appetite, for example, cancer patients. For many people, the increase in appetite is not desired and actually keeps some from consuming Cannabis. Regardless of the reason, when the munchies hit, what we eat shouldn’t be bad. It may taste great but is there…
