Dab Nail Essentials
When most people think of the act of smoking weed, they visualize someone lighting up a nicely rolled joint. They'll picture the scene from Dazed and Confused, where Mila Jovovich rolls the perfect doobie in the back seat of a car. The joint is seen as the quintessential weed toking mechanism—classic, convenient, and versatile. While the most common forms of smoking weed will forever have a special place in our stoner hearts, times are changing. With the advent of legalized, recreational, and decriminalized pot, people have pushed the envelope when coming up with innovative ways to get high. The most compelling method of smoking marijuana has become the act of "dabbing." In order to dab, you must first fire up a concentrated "dab" of hash through the use of high-heat applied to necessary instruments. The process is entirely dependent upon the conduction or insulation of the "dab nail," to which the ball of wax is applied. A faulty dab nail can result in wasted oil and irreparable damage to other pieces of your dabbing setup. But fear not! We are here to help you delve into the world of dabbing and the products that make this more recent method of smoking possible.

What Are the Dangers of Synthetic Marijuana?
Imagine we could take a time machine back to before the political scene was so ridiculous. I'm not talking about a Trump and Clinton election, but rather the short-winded feud of the Obama/Romney election. Who could forget Romney? America's favorite handsome Republican nominee named after an important piece of baseball equipment. Romney, being the quintessential poster boy for American progress, had quite the stance on the evils of marijuana. In an attempt to argue against the advent of medical marijuana, Romney had only this to say: "People talk about medicinal marijuana. And you know, you hear that story that people who are sick need medicinal marijuana. "But marijuana is the entry drug for people trying to get kids hooked on drugs. I don't want medicinal marijuana; there are synthetic forms of marijuana that are available for people who need it for prescription. Don't open the doorway to medicinal marijuana."

Can Cannabis Oil Cure Cancer?
With the legalization movement finally starting to make some headway globally, more and more claims are being made about the therapeutic properties of the world's most controversial plant, cannabis. But can cannabis oil cure cancer? Anyone's who's ever smoked a joint can attest to some of the less spectacular claims made by those who advocate it's medicinal use, aiding with sleep, relaxation and appetite. However, the most grandiose assertions about the cannabis plant are a little harder for the average user to relate to, most of all being the claim that cannabis oil can actually cure cancer.

How to Ask for Weed in Foreign Languages. Top Story - July 2016.
"Getting there is half the fun," is a philosophy that never gets old. For today's potheads traveling to distant destinations for vacation, the other half is getting high once you've gotten there. But getting off on that huge chunk of red Lebanese hashish you just copped in the Beirut bazaar won't be half as easy as back home if you can't summon up the correct words to ask one of the locals for a pipe in which to incinerate your pungent purchase. Learning how to ask for weed in foreign languages should be one of the first things you do once you book your next vacation.

Notorious Female Drug Dealers
Women are taking over the world, and not a minute too soon. As part of the workforce, women are demanding to be taken seriously and are fighting for equal pay for equal work.

Imagine doing so in the rough and tumble world of drug dealing. The notorious female drug dealers on this list stepped into shoes traditionally filled by men. They made names for themselves in the underground drug world—for better or worse. So post up with your weed or vape and get your daily dose of drug history.

Indie Filmmaker Adam Volerich
Adam Volerich is a NYC indie filmmaker with a slight British accent. When he's not creating films, he searches for Sasquatch and collects Blu-ray DVDs. And when he's not doing that—well—he's in the editing room making what us mere mortals perceive as visual magic. Volerich's latest film, Board, follows pot-dealing Ricky after his stash has been stolen by a shady client, which thrusts him into a hazy journey to the mystical land of Coney Island. While it is a visual adventure, it is also a tale of humanity and the everyday. The film features a soundtrack blessed by the magical fingers of Michael Cera; all I have to say is, "Dude, where's my stash?"

Drug Dealers Anonymous
If you do drugs, then probability is you’ve met at least one drug dealer in the course of your life style. In every town, in every city, in every empty rural region, somebody is slinging something. Of course, these people are demonized by the media, often portrayed as faceless poisoners of the young. In my own experience, they can actually be quite normal, if there really is such a thing, but they aren't that different from you and me. Everyone has a story. Dealers come from all walks of life, lured by the siren call of the hustle.

Marijuana for Veterans with PTSD
Did you know that over 300,000 veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have been diagnosed with PTSD by the US Department of Veterans Affairs? And thousands of more have yet to receive recognition. Recently, a movement among US veterans advocating the physical and mental benefits of medical marijuana for PTSD has grown. They want the Department of Veterans Affairs to allow their doctors to recommend and prescribe medical marijuana as a treatment for the disorder in place of prescription drugs. The VA, along with other federal agencies and anti-legalization groups, still don't consider marijuana a solution for veterans suffering with PTSD. So why are veterans asking to use medical marijuana for PTSD? The drug is easing the pain for veterans inside and out.
