For the cannabinoid primarily responsible for getting us buzzed we look to  Delta-9 Tetrahydrocannabinol, I’ll use the shorthand “THC.” No longer a great abbreviation because Delta-8 and Delta-10 are becoming more a part of the language. “Cannabinoid” is simply a chemical found in the cannabis plant.

  I smoked for decades. Since 1966 back East and then since 1975 in Boulder.  My delivery systems ranged from joints and bongs, to a  coconut water pipe with the farmer of Negil on Xmas Eve some decades ago, and more. Hotels all come with rolling papers if you get stuck. The Gideon’s Bible has several blank pages in each volume, and it works fine. Then I read the list of the 100 plus chemicals that were added to my inhale by the combustion of the flower. While vaping was convenient, I had ongoing concerns. First, the cartridges, in a legal state (assuming that government testing prevents... Read More

Have you ever wondered whether cannabis actually makes Boulderites hungry? Is there any “real” science to support the “stoned munchies?” As we have always known, the answer is a resounding “YES!” Diet control as to timing, choices, and quantities are key to good health and to feeling good.
