I’ve been writing about cannabis and wellness for years, and if there’s one question that keeps popping up in my inbox, it’s this: “Does smoking weed have calories?” It’s a fair concern, especially if you’re watching your weight or tracking your nutrition. Let me cut to the chase: smoking or vaping cannabis contains zero calories. […]
After a decade studying cannabinoids in the lab, I still get this question constantly: “Does indica get you high?” The short answer is yes, but there’s so much more to it than that simple response. I remember when a friend texted me late one night after trying an indica strain, confused because she felt energized […]
After spending over a decade researching cannabinoids and their effects on sleep, I still get this question almost daily: “Will hybrid weed make me sleepy?” The answer isn’t as straightforward as most people hope. As a cannabis researcher, I’ve seen firsthand how the same hybrid strain can have dramatically different effects on different people. Let […]
No, CBD flower won’t get you high. Despite looking and smelling almost identical to traditional cannabis, it simply doesn’t contain enough THC, the compound responsible for marijuana’s intoxicating effects, to produce that kind of experience. The confusion makes sense. CBD flower sits in a gray area for a lot of people. It looks like weed, […]
I’ve spent years working with cannabis concentrates, and if there’s one question I get asked constantly at industry events, it’s, “Can you actually eat live resin?” The short answer is yes, but there’s a lot more to it than simply scooping some onto a spoon. Live resin has become one of the most sought-after cannabis […]
I’ve been a pharmacist for over a decade, and one question I hear surprisingly often is whether someone can get high just from smelling marijuana. It’s a valid concern, maybe you’re worried about exposure at a concert, or perhaps your roommate smokes and you’re wondering if those wafting odors might affect you. Let me cut […]
I’ve been rolling joints for over five years now, and let me tell you, there’s something deeply satisfying about crafting the perfect roll. Whether you’re new to the scene or looking to level up your skills, I’ve got you covered with everything I’ve learned through countless rolls (and yes, plenty of fails along the way). […]
Let’s be real. There’s something intimidating about trying anything for the first time, especially when it comes to cannabis. I remember my first pre-roll experience five years ago, fumbling with a lighter while my more experienced friends tried not to laugh. If you’re new to pre-rolls, you might be wondering, “Do I just… light it […]
I’ll never forget the first time I discovered kief at the bottom of my grinder. That golden dust looked magical, and when I finally tried it, I realized I’d been missing out on one of cannabis’s best-kept secrets. After five years of experimenting with different methods, collecting techniques, and yes, making plenty of rookie mistakes, […]
Let’s be real—sometimes smoking outside just isn’t an option. Maybe it’s freezing cold, you’ve got nosy neighbors, or your apartment lease has that dreaded “no smoking” clause. I’ve been there more times than I can count, trying to enjoy a quick session without turning my living space into a hotboxed nightmare. After five years of […]
