As you may already be aware, 2018 was an incredible year for cannabis, with advances in both social perception and support of cannabis use as well as legal advances on a grand scale.

In my life, I’ve probably tried and failed to commit to over a dozen New Year’s resolutions. Everything from the cliché and overdone, “I’m going to go to the gym five times a week starting January 1st,” to more personalized self-improvement goals like quitting cigarettes or being a better listener. I’m usually able to make…
For me, there is no better time of year than the holidays. I love everything about it: the food, the weather, being home with family and friends.

With the right preparation, hiking in the rain can be a great chance to explore your favorite trails in a new light, and with a whole lot less people to crowd your experience. Rain deters the casual walker and hiker, but for the properly prepared, rain is nothing but nature turning on a mister to…
It’s happened to every concentrate connoisseur for one reason or another: you end up at a location without a rig to use for all of the hash you brought. At your normal sesh or when you head over to a buddy’s, this isn’t the biggest issue in the world, but when you’ve backpacked to a…
