T. Kid Versus Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves
For the avid pot smoker, planning a vacation always comes with the caveat of finding a place where trees will be plentiful and the laws regarding them lenient enough that you can avoid the hellish prospect of a third world prison. By and large, I’ve found most European countries have a pretty lax attitude toward drugs, so when my brother and I planned a two-week trip to the south of Spain, we expected some level of ease when it came to getting weed.

Visiting the Motherland
Before the rise of the xenophobic pseudo-patriotism that's responsible for our decaying reputation abroad, there was a time when the American experience involved spending your earlier years in another country and then coming over to the US in a huddled mass. I lived this classic Full story

The Amplifier Effect
This weekend, at a spontaneous and vaguely St. Patrick’s Day-inspired reunion at our usual clubhouse in South Philly, my college bro Marv found himself at the crossroads of a widely known truth: if you smoke when you’re drunk, both intoxications are amplified into an ordeal of pe… Full story

Q’s Grow House
To many of us, weed is a packaged product. Even if you don’t live in one of the country’s more enlightened states, where sativas, indicas, oils, and edibles are branded like novelty candies, you still may find yourself browsing a menu as your deliveryman reads you the specials… Full story

The Shwagman Cometh
The Shwagmen of Powelton Park were a shady bunch of high school kids who became entirely too familiar with me, my housemates, and our humble home. The most central character was a 17-year-old named Montana, a handsome kid with no concept of private space and a penchant for what I… Full story
