It's time for a "Reefer Roundup" of cannabis news you may have missed, or simply got high, and forgotten you'd seen. It happens. (Most) Drugs Are Bad, Mmmmkay? Scientific Reports, a subsidiary of Nature, has published findings that rank the "risk of death associated with the use of a variety of commonly

When Cannabis Edibles Become Regretibles
It's easy to overdo it with cannabis-infused edibles. Stories of overindulgence are a dime a dozen, and the topic of "ODing" on marijuana food products keeps popping up in the news. On one front, you have the eye-rolling first-person account of Maureen Dowd eating part of a pot-laced chocolate bar and melting
Now That Cannabis Legalization Measure 91 Has Passed, What’s Next?
Now that 2015 has arrived, I thought it might be helpful to review exactly what Measure 91 means (and doesn't mean) for you and your shiftless, frequently forgetful, and dry mouthed demon-weed-puffing brethren. First, nothing takes effect until July 1, so slow your joint roll, Captain Pakalolo. Which does not mean Johnny
Oregon Ducks and Doobies: When Cannabis Meets Collegiate Sports
I DON'T CARE much about sports. I completely understand those who do, bless their hearts, but sports have never held much appeal for me. When cannabis gets involved, however, any form of sportsball has my attention. I'm writing this the morning after the Oregon Ducks lost to Ohio State. Some of my Duck-centric

Cannabis Is Now Legal In Oregon. What’s Next May Not Work For Everyone.
NOW THAT Measure 91 has passed, it's worth examining the fresh challenges awaiting those in the cannabis industry. First, consider that this is an industry started and developed by outlaws. These are people who have spent years, if not decades, working and living in the shadows. Because of their source of income, most
Grow Your Own Cannabis Under Measure 91
WHEN RECREATIONAL MARIJUANA becomes legal in Oregon in July 2015, each household will be able to grow up to four plants. While plenty of people will be content with store-bought bud, harvesting one's own seems to fit in with a particularly Portlandian mentality. After all, this is a city of gardeners. So
Can Cannabis Based “Rick Simpson Oil” Treat Cancer?
Vote Yes On Measure 91 To Legalize Cannabis In Oregon
I hope you will vote "yes" on Measure 91. This paper has already endorsed a yes vote, as have other Oregon publications of note. To restate the reasons: We have been fighting a racist, expensive war on drugs that failed us decades ago. The taxes raised from legal marijuana will support schools, law enforcement,
Dispensary Don’ts: Cue The Cannabis Clowns
A COMMON MISPERCEPTION among my friends is that, as your cannabis columnist, I have a never-ending supply of High Times pot-porn centerfold-quality buds, concentrates, and edibles, all free and provided by smiling growers who have hand-tended each and every plant with the love one would show to a firstborn. Not exactly. While
