Can You Donate Blood If You Smoke Weed?
Straight to the point: Yes. That is correct, you can smoke weed and give blood, but there are some caveats and some misconceptions to the whole ordeal itself, since donating blood is not something for everyone. Among all the other things seemingly floating about in wonder when concerning the question can you donate blood if you smoke weed, first things first: ask your freaking doctor. I know potheads, cannabis consumers, and medicinal weed users all probably feel a level of laziness or mistrust (given high levels of paranoia attached to weed consumption), asking your medical professional should be the number one, first priority before you do anything else—yes, even before rolling up a second joint to smoke.

Ways to Use Your Cannabis Kief
Every daily smoker knows what kief is, and if not, then just check the bottom piece of your grinder. Those tiny, sand-like grains of marijuana is what we know (and love) as fine, powdery "pollen," or simply very finely ground up weed. Used in a multitude of ways, kief can bring both highs and lows, whether it be in the actual feeling and mood themselves, or simply in activity and memory; it all depends on the methods that are used.

These 14 Secret Cannabis Containers Will Keep Your Weed Safe and Hidden
You know one of the great ways to conserve your weed stash? Hide it from yourself, it literally always works. You know why? Because potheads tend to forget things, and it's especially worse if said "things" are literally hidden in plain view, like a freaking potted cactus. There's about a 13 percent chance I'd ever guess valuables, much less weed, were hidden inside a house plant, but I digress. It's not that you're trying to hide your stash from yourself, it's stringent upon you keeping your cannabis goods safe, plus whatever else you may stuff into these awesome containers.

Signs You Have a Weed Hangover
There are reasons why you should smoke weed daily, and then there are reasons you shouldn't. It's all about pacing, knowing your body, and understanding the limitations of marijuana use (whether by your own system's standards, or the actual standard). In my personal experience, I have never felt nor even witnessed a weed hangover, but they are real and can happen to anyone (even myself). There are, unsurprisingly, loads of studies and diagnoses on the so-called weed hangover, the earliest recorded of them being in 1985 by Chait et al., which states:

Benefits of Microdosing Cannabis. Top Story - February 2018.
Like a newly rendered version of the ancient "tea break," microdosing only recently began to sweep across the culture of marijuana consumption, delivering a newfound method of not only getting you higher than a space shuttle, but rendering yourself protected on both mental and physical fronts (for far longer than even your natural high). As all things marijuana, be careful before you attempt microdosing on your own. While I may be using evidences and various concepts found from prolonged research, it's still a tested concept that needs a little more professional insight by industry leaders before it's actually set into stone. Plus, cannabis illegality weighs heavily upon scientific data and progress in adapting consumption methods of marijuana.

Old Strains of Cannabis That Are Still Popular Today
That's obviously an exaggerated phenomena: time travel and splitting dimensions? You must be high. Fortunately, though, these strains can definitely make you feel somewhat like that; crispier than a buttered muffin sunbathing in a Black and Decker toaster. While some people might have you believe that weed strains are mostly bullshit (more even say their meaning is nothing) I think otherwise, for many reasons. First of all, marijuana strains are important, because if they weren't, than growing cannabis wouldn't be such a high commodity industry. Second, with our modern landscape surrounding the political and cultural understandings behind marijuana, there’s much to learn from its long history. What better way to examine the long and eventful background of marijuana than through old strains of cannabis that are still popular today?

Reasons to Legalize Weed
Let's legalize marijuana. You'd think it would be as easy as saying it, or maybe as easy as rolling up a pearl joint, but even that can get tricky sometimes. As is the case with legalization. No one's died while using marijuana (at least, as far as anyone knows today), and as far as we're concerned there's more benefits in cannabis consumption than practically anything else, besides maybe Bayer Aspirin. So, why isn't it legalized yet?

Best Marijuana Documentaries on Netflix
Netflix is no stranger to interesting and provocative documentaries based on the culture and industry of marijuana. It's a hot topic, especially now as the push for legalization grows and grows, and the more it's ingrained in the public eye, the more information people will want to understand in better ways and connotations. Simply put, marijuana is nothing but a plant with psychoactive traits, yet there's still many different avenues to cross when investigating its long history; a legacy that's seemingly become a cultural icon.

Prescription Medications You Should Avoid Mixing With Weed
The question still remains, even as legalization sweeps across the country, is marijuana a drug or medicine? It's taken the US by storm, and only grow steadfastly more popular as we move into the future. While many potheads and smokers of all kinds may be jumping for joy, it isn't all that good; for, like most narcotics, there's a price to pay. While marijuana may be a far more helpful Schedule I narcotic than most, it can still have some damaging and debilitating effects when combined with other substances. If you're trying a new prescription, know a friend who's taking medication combined with cannabis, or just want to know more about what you're putting in your body, talk to a medical specialist and ensure their safety. The number one key approach in minimize these following risks is to spot them before the can become worse.

Surprising Eating Habits That Cause Depression and Mood Disorders
Despite what you may think, while ignoring that feeling of absolute joy received when satisfying the sound of your rumbling belly, food cravings and the level to which you spoil them can have direct repercussions on your overall mental health. Living with a mental disorder, of any kind, can be debilitating and can change your appetite just like your mood. Eating disorders can sometimes play a part, but that's not always the case, nor can it always be so accurately defined. Our emotions and their controlling functions are still relatively unknown. In other words, everyone—all 7 or so billion of us on the planet—have different quirks and set offs. Before making any conclusions or taking any type of medication, speak to a doctor, therapist, or trained professional and get the real inside scoop on what's causing your mental strain.

Free TV Apps That Could Replace Your Cable Bill
It's the new cable: more channels and no monthly bill! The next step in televised entertainment, much like how music has been revolutionized with streaming, comes a whole new way of watching movies and TV on your mobile device. While not every streaming service is free, nor does every app boast a massive list of titles to choose from, there's still no shortage of possibilities or content when it comes to the digital broadband network. While television sets themselves may not be gone for a long while, how we actually view those sets, thanks to smart applications, widgets, and the like, has slowly moved into a time that disallows for cable and harkens on the objectivity of watching whatever you want, whenever you want.

DIY Smoking Devices You Can Make with Household Items. Top Story - January 2018.
Did you know that smoking weed pretty much requires only three valuable elements? These would be air flow, or oxygen, pyrotechnics, or simply a controlled flame, and earth (or, Mary Jane, that is). While you don't always need it, there is room for the good ole H2O, especially if you're attempting something like a gravity bong or DIY bubbler. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to design them, but understanding how they work before delving into your own highdea labors ensures immediate success and limited injuries. As I'm sure you can see, all of those elements (besides maybe fire) are relatively abundant and acquirable with absolute simplicity. All you need now is a utensil, tool, catalyst, or homing beacon, if you will.
