Rules of Weed Etiquette
Years ago only a small clique of degenerates smoked marijuana. Now smoke rises from all segments of society. Once the exclusive delight of musicians and lower criminal classes, marijuana is now enjoyed by everyone and their mother. Seriously, ask your mother if she smokes weed, you might be surprised.

Do Marijuana Plants Have Feelings?
I remain keenly skeptical about claims that people have communed with geraniums, passionflowers, and Dracaena Massangeana let alone weed. Even that fascinating book The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird has failed to persuade me that vegetables are sensitive to threats, affectionate words, or recordings of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Though I am persuaded that certain cannabis responds to Bob Marley and Coldplay. Without appropriate receptors for receiving and processing sound, it is hard to believe that plants are capable of such feats. But there are two avenues of respectable research that should trouble anyone adopting this orthodox stance.

Choosing the Right Seeds
Choosing the right seed is probably the most important decision that a grower makes. The seed, actually the fruit of the cannabis plant, properly known as an achene, contains, among other things, the germ plasma, or genetic material.

Magic Mushroom Growing Tips
Stropharia cubensis can be found in appropriate habitats throughout the Southern US, all through the coastal regions of Mexico, and throughout coastal and equatorial regions of South America. In the US, it has been reported from Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Tennessee, and Georgia. Its distribution would probably be even greater were it not for the fact that its environmental requirements limit it to regions of mild temperatures and high humidity.

Trippy Art of Calligraphy
I get out my pot and my papers, a pot of ink, and the paper is the kind you write on rather than roll in. Next, I choose a pen, and prepare to get high. This is hardly the sort of paraphernalia usually associated with tripping out, yet I’ve found that trippy art of calligraphy, which means beautiful writing, has the capacity to unwind my mind down pathways as intriguingly convoluted as the curlicues on a copperplate. I begin to roll a beautiful joint for my journey.

How to Beat the Marijuana Munchies
All of us who have ever smoked weed know about “the munchies," defined as that desperate craving for sugar and carbohydrates which can send otherwise sane individuals rushing out in the middle of a snowstorm to purchase candy bars and pizza. Obviously, one does not need to be a doctor to suspect that years of overloading the bloodstream with sugar can have a deleterious effect on a person's health. But how serious a health hazard is the munchies?

Growing Marijuana Indoors with Natural Light
Most articles and books about growing marijuana discuss methods of cultivating the plant indoors under artificial lights or planting outdoors.

Marijuana Soil Guide
Marijuana is a high-energy plant which grows quickly in fertile soil or a medium that is rich in available nutrients. Nutrients are found in the soil's parent materials: sand, clay, humus, minerals, rocks, and water are added to hydroponic solutions or soils using fertilizer. Nutrients dissolve in soil water (soil solution), which is then absorbed by the plant. In complex chemical processes, roots release ions in exchange for nutrients that are dissolved in the soil solution.

How to Sprout Weed Seeds
Weed seeds and babies are more similar than you may think. In order to grow into productive, functioning, strong adult forms, they both need care, attention, water, food, and shelter. They must both be protected from the hardships of life that can inhibit their growth. See, I told you they weren't that different! The new weed sprout (we're talking about marijuana now) has few defenses against shocks to its system caused by imbalances in its environment.
