• Toxic Wellness: The Student “vs” The Masters

    So this tweet got posted today and it reminded me of that idiot counselor who told me to “hug my feelings,” without explaining what the fuck that meant. At the time I was trying to get passed the block in my mind that was keeping me from remembering all the bad stuff, and what I…

  • Cannabis and Addictions: Can You, Should You, Would You?

    I grew up in the recovery community. By “Grew up” I mean I spent my 20s being surrounded with people who were on various ends of the spectrum when it came to drug and alcohol addiction. I tried all the programs, and in both insincere and sincere ways I did the steps, and I realized…

  • ANOUNCEMENT: LMBG ON HIATUS

    Sadly my computer keyboard is not working right, and thus because of that, I need to take a break and focus on studying for awhile. I don’t knw when I will be back, I am so sorry, as of right now I am using my on screen keyboard and it’s not working great. See you…

  • IT’S ELECTION DAY! #CannabisCommunity and #CannabisIndustry Related

    Featured Image courtesy of StuffStonersLike.com So I voted today, and honestly? I am not impressed by a single candidate, “the best possible option is the one that will cause the least amount of harm,” is not a great option when it comes to elections, but that’s where we are at, and it’s a tradition that…

    “When faced with a tough decision, put your emotions aside, think victory thoughts, and try to envision how you want to end up when the battle ends. ”― Germany Kent Which will become things, which will become manifestations, which will see me looking back with wonder about the fact that yes, I fucking did that gold.

  • The Good News Is Life Goes On

    “What mental health needs is more sunlight, more candor, and more unashamed conversation.” – Glenn Close Yesterday I wrote a post about what gang life did to my life, and it wasn’t an easy post to write, but today I woke up and honestly? I am feeling pretty damned good. I don’t know what the…

  • Sorry Won’t Bring My Tears Back *TRIGGER WARNINGS ARE MASSIVE*

    So today I attended a Webinar on what parts of the lower mainland, specifically Coquitlam are doing about gang culture in BC, and predictably it was a great lecture but it wasn’t really that great in terms of the fact that all they talked about are the things they are doing right. They didn’t talk…

  • When The Heroine Drinks The Kool-Aid, All Hope Is Lost

    In every story ever told about a girl who becomes a woman during a time of war, and then is forced to sacrifice every single part of herself in order to save the world, at the end of the story she gets to be “her self” again. I wonder what Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s legacy will be…

  • Hollow Victories In Quiet Moments: I Am Still Not Ready To Die Yet

    WARNING: This half of this essay was written BEFORE Smoking Cannabis One of the things that Cannabis does is that it changes our outlook on life, and the moods that we’re dealing with when we’re feeling anxious or depressed. Today I am feeling both of those things, and so I’ve written the first half of…

  • Politician’s Don’t Have the Luxury of Making Racist, Homophobic, Sexual Mistakes, and It’s Time We Use Our Vote To Remind Them Of That Fact #CDNPOLI

    Okay so here’s the deal, I don’t often talk about politics because my mom is heavily involved in the NDP. This means that I am often privy to information that I cannot share with the public for legal, and political reasons. I decided a long time ago that this website would never endorse a specific…

  • It’s Easy For Me To Say This…Because I Am In The Middle

    Growing up I was always in the middle, it’s the single most reason that I didn’t fit in. I didn’t value what the girls my age valued. I wanted freedom, they wanted to get married and have babies – I figured getting married and having babies would GIVE me freedom, because I figured if I…
