Spontaneously combust

(Nathan Bateman x F!reader)

A/N Inspired by a Prompt by @gingersforeverbox

Warning: Drug use, Weed

Words: 579

She had been surprised that after she had slipped out side for a quick smoke break, Nathan had followed her out. She had been staying with him for a couple months now. Hired to keep him company out here in the middle of nowhere, and occasionally help out around the complex, she could hardly believe it had been real when she had applied to the job, and gotten the interview. It seemed like dream, hang out with a rich dude in the middle of nowhere for money? Why the hell not. There had been a lot of safety procedures, background checks and trial visits, a very elaborate contract, which could be summed up into “I promise I’m not a serial killer. Sign here.”  And after the bumpy getting to know you period of the relationship she had started to settle in. At first she thought that Nathan was just an asshole, but really he was just, eccentric. However usually when she slipped outside in the evening to smoke a joint to calm her nerves, he didn’t follow. She had guessed he just wasn’t interested in it, but she had been wrong. As they pass the joint back and forth, she can’t help but smile at him.

“What? Is there something on my face?” Nathan asks running his fingers through his beard, after passing the joint back to her.

“No, I just don’t think I’ve seen you so relaxed before.” She shrugs and takes a drag from the joint before looking out into the wilderness again. After they finish the joint they head inside and both of them sit in the living area as the effects of the marijuana start to kick in, Nathan starts to ramble, going on and on about the science around Cannabis, How its grown, how it can be used, the history of its use. She was smiling at him, she loved it when he started on like this. She could listen to his voice for hours.

“Cannabis plants are diecious - meaning there are both female and male versions of the plant. You can tell the sex of the plat is female if pistils are present, whereas males have stamen. It’s the female plants that flower and produce what you smoke, while males are really only valuable for breeding.” As he talks he uses his hands to emphasize different point’s he’s making. He’s leaning back in the chair as he rambles on. She smiles, enjoying the way he looks, the way he talks, the way he…exists. That’s when she lets the thought slip.

“Mmm, Please never stop talking Nathan, I love the way you sound…I love you.” She softly mutters, she was obviously out of it, but at the same time, Nathan could instantly tell she was being completely honest. He froze, his mind short circuiting. Did she really just say that? He wanted to take her in his arms, tell her all the things he had been thinking over the time she had been staying with him. He wanted to feel her skin under his hands… He just can’t, his entire body frozen by her words, his mind slowed to a screeching hault with the effects of the plant he was just rambling about. He blinks twice as he looks at her, his lips parted softly in a state of shock. He realizes he should say something, anything, but realistically he’s too high not to say exactly what he means.

“I…I love you too.”

Surfer Boy Pizza Delivery

Nancy Wheeler x Reader

=====

Word Count: 1,721

Summary: Even in your spacey state, still, all you wanted was your girlfriend.

WARNINGS: Drug use (weed), sexual themes, angry Nancy

=====

It was weird.

The sensation of your body feeling like it was floating up in the clouds while simultaneously sinking deep into the soft cushions that pilled into the back of the yellow delivery van, like a rock into the sea.

Sweet, earthy smoke fogged up the haphazardly covered windows, trying in vain to stop anyone from finding out the happenings going on inside. That same mist floated through the air, making it stuffy with every inhale, only furthering the feelings that racked your body.

That was, until the hazy peace was rudely interrupted by the trunk being thrown open, revealing an angry brunette.

"There you are," she seethed, speaking as if she knew from the beginning but still didn't want to believe what she was seeing was, in fact, the truth. Not that you noticed any of that. The clear anger that masked her face went unnoticed by you in your drugged-out state.

"Nance!" you yelled out happily, throwing your arms apart, overjoyed to see the girl who carried your affections like they were a gift. Almost smacking Argyle with the back of your hand as you did. With her hands upon her hips, Nancy found herself wishing that you had, knowing that the "peace and love" man was the whole reason you were in this position. If he were anyone else, she would have spitefully said that he had orchestrated this entire thing.

However, she knew better than that. Having been around the boy enough in the such short time of them meeting each other, to know he didn't have a conniving bone in his body.

"Come on in here," you requested, leaning forward to grasp at her hands, trying to guide her into the back of the cannabis-scented van.

"No. Absolutely not," Nancy said, shaking her head vehemently. Planting her feet into the nature-covered ground outside of Hopper's cabin, stopping your weak attempts from getting her any closer into the vehicle, "If I come back smelling like marijuana, my parents will flip."

"You're gonna smell like it anyway, just from being this close," you teased her lowly, mouth brushing against hers in your further attempts to get her into the back of the van with you, knowing how hard it was for Nancy to deny your lips when you did this. However, in your high state, you failed to realise just how pissed off the petite girl was, "So, why don't you just hop on in here and spend some time with me, huh?"

At this point, you had forgotten about Argyle entirely.

Nothing against the long-haired man, you were just so out of it that you couldn't focus on more than one thing at the moment, and you were incredibly okay with that being your beautiful girlfriend.

But you were soon alerted to his existence once more as he scooted his way ned to you and out of the van, bidding you both a goodbye with, "See you brotachios later."

"Bye, Argyle!" you called after him as he headed off to probably go find Jonathan while Nancy continued to glare daggers at you.

"Good luck, my dude!"

Now that got you to furrow your brows momentarily in confusion, ticking your head to the side before moving back to beam over at Nancy.

"Hey, baby."

"Y/N. What the hell are you playing at?"

"What? I can't call you 'baby' now?"

"That's not what I'm talking about."

You groaned lightly, finally figuring out what she was talking about, pressing your forehead into hers, hands still encased her wrists.

"Baby, please don't be like this."

"'Don't be like thi'-"

Before she could finish her angered sentence, you cut her off, only to continue your prior begging.

"Just come in here, please? We can have some privacy. You can yell at me all you want in here."

"I think I'll yell at you all I want from out here, thank you."

"Oh, Nance, just-" Releaseingher wrists, you instead, grasped at her waist, using your new-found leverage to begin tugging her into the back of the pizza van. "Come on in here."

"No, Y/N- I swear- Christ."

Once the curly-haired brunette had crossed the threshold, you gave one final pull, dropping back as you did, only to land in your lap with a surprised yelp.

"Y/N," Nancy scolded, hands upon your chest as she looked down at you with hard eyes and curved brows.

All the while, you dopily smiled up at her like she had hung the stars in the sky.

"Hey, baby."

"I swear to God, Y/N, when you come down from this, you're going to be in for a world of trouble."

With a hum, you replied, "Sounds like fun." Finishing it with a flirty wiggle of your brows.

"You won't find it fun when it's happening," Nancy spoke with a sarcastic smile.

Another hum sounded at the back of your throat, taking in Nancy's glorious body from where it sat upon your pelvis. This position reminded you of all the times she was in it before, when she would look down at you with the same want in your eyes right now. Passing your hands up and down her sides.

"You know what would be fun to do right now?"

Nancy's eyes grew wide, head turning to the side at your insinuation.

"No. There is no way I'm doing anything like that with you in the back of this van."

"I just want a little kiss, baby," you spoke lowly, shaking your head side to side, trying to tease her into kissing you.

"I'm not kissing you where everyone can see," she referred to your friends, still busy cleaning up the hidden away cabin and venturing the woods, setting up booby-trap alarms. Through the still-open trunk of the yellow van. "I still can't believe you did that in front of Argyle. I mean, I know he's lax on pretty much everything, but what if he had reacted badly at what you did? If he wasn't stoned out of his mind, he might have."

"Oh, please," you scoffed with a roll of your eyes, "That boy has more colours to him than JCPenney."

Nancy squinted down at you, trying to decipher your made-up expression.

"What?"

"Nance, about five minutes before you opened that door, he got finished telling me about the time of how he blew Jonathan in the back of this car. He gives Fruity Pebbles a run for their money, babe."

Ignoring your second descriptor of how gay the pizza boy was, Nancy reacted to the news of her ex-boyfriend having his own fun in the very van you had pulled her into.

"Okay, I'm definitely not kissing you in the back of thing van now."

"Oh, baby, come on. Don't do that," you whined, watching as she struggled against your body, trying to move and exit the vehicle.

Quickly, before she could remove herself from your lap, you pushed yourself up with one hand, the other coming to cup the back of her neck, pulling her down onto your lips.

After a few seconds spent kissing you, Nancy pulled away, with her nose wrinkled in the cutest way possible and pursed lips.

"You taste disgusting."

"Yeah, but I kiss amazing," you countered, brushing your thumb across her cheekbone, easily pulling her into another kiss.

Nancy's hands were wrapped up in the chest of your shirt, holding you in place as if you would suddenly sink through the van and out of her grasp. Given your experiences over the years, you couldn't blame her. At this point, you don't even think something like that would surprise you. Just like the brunette resting upon you, you kept her pressed against your body, hands holding her hips, soon rounding her to hug the girl to you, one hand threading into her hair just as her tongue slipped into your mouth.

You moaned softly into her lips, adoring the feeling of her satisfied smile in reaction to the noise.

When air started to become an issue, you pulled away with a smirk, peering up at the brunette with hooded eyes, a rasp to your voice when you next spoke.

"Even though I taste disgusting, you still have no issue sticking your tongue down my throat."

Nancy scoffed, rolling her eyes once more, not wanting to admit that you were right, even though you knew, full well, you were.

"Don't flatter yourself. I got used to it after a while."

"Aha. So, does that mean I can get you to smoke with me someday?"

"Not. A. Cance," she stated, leaning down to teasingly rub her nose against yours, smiling the same way.

You also knew that to be true.

Nancy wasn't the type for drugs. Even if it were something as innocent as weed. Not that she would -Truly- judge someone for using it. That didn't mean she had to like it. Especially when it involved someone she cared for greatly. She didn't want you to develop unhealthy mechanisms to cope with the things you have seen and done. Be that with alcohol, drugs, or something else. Nancy never wanted you to go through any hardships in life if they could be avoided.

"We still need to have that little chat when you sober up. So don't think that this is my acceptance of you smoking this yourself, the brunette warned, using her leverage upon your chest to push herself up, exiting through the open trunk, ready to get back to work.

"Now, come on! Just because you're high doesn't mean that you can't help me board up these windows."

"I can't use heavy machinery while under the influence. What makes you think I can use a hammer and nails?" you question, poking your head out of the back of the van, trying to get out of your task.

You should have known better than to think that that might possibly work against the Nancy Wheeler.

Spinning on her heels, the girl spoke to you as she continued walking backwards towards the cabin, "Then you hold the boards. And I'll do the hammering."

You groaned, stumbling out of the van, following after Nancy up the steps of the cabin. Wishing that you were back on those soft cushions, with your girlfriend, laying across your body, with her soft lips upon yours.=====

[acelessthan3]

given that I work in the supplement industry with ease of access, product information, a lot of reading time, and willingness to experiment on my own body; I guess you could say I’m an amateur biohacker 

so I’ma lay some knowledge on you

guess if I’m gonna be thorough

first off: don’t trust everything you read on the internet, but if you’re going to examine and selfhacked are two reputable, well-researched, well-sourced places for information on any given nutritional supplement. I’m more inclined to trust examine if I have to choose between the two. If they don’t have an article on it, there probably hasn’t been enough science done to warrant putting it together.

that said, just because science doesn’t have something to say about a thing, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work in some way, just means science hasn’t done the work to look at it yet and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Traditions and various Indigenous Peoples’ herbal remedies have merit and are worth looking at

I’m also not a doctor, but I’ve got a BS in Kinesiology so I’ve taken enough anatomy and biochemistry to at least be able to read most of the science I come across. I also work as a supplement whore and have years of customer interactions and corporate product trainings to know what’s hot in the industry, what the trends are for consumers, what doctors and naturopaths most frequently recommend.

Here’s my go-to supplements:

Vitamin D

This one’s in the news a lot lately. The science is all over the place, but chances are if you’re in a Western country that isn’t tropically or sub-tropically located and don’t work outdoors in very little clothing, you probably need at least some Vitamin D. It’s important in immune function, calcium absorption, mood and actually quite a few other things that are still being investigated. I come from Pacific Islander genetics (I’ve got melanin y’all) and live near the Canadian border, I find it helps me with Seasonal Affective Disorder symptoms. Unless specifically stated to be vegan, most D will be sourced from lanolin (the fatty substance from sheep’s wool) in softgels with a sunflower/canola carrier oil.

Nitric Oxide Boosters

There’s actually a lot of these that work in different ways, but science is finding that nitric oxide levels in the blood are part of how the body maintains healthy blood pressure. Nitric oxide in the body relaxes smooth muscles which increases the diameter of blood vessels, increasing blood flow. It’s part of how your body lowers blood pressure post-exercise.

There’s several ways (supplementally speaking) to increase nitric oxide in the body. The easiest is to increase available nitrates. As nitrates are digested, they, you guessed it, increase nitric oxide in the blood. Some supplementally available sources of nitrates include: beet root (powder or capsules) and leafy greens.  Synthetic forms like potassium nitrate also exist.

Another way to increase nitric oxide is to use the other metabolic pathways providing appropriate chemical precursors to aid in those biological functions. The most common is L-Arginine. L-Arginine is an amino acid that gets converted into nitric oxide. It’s also used in muscle protein synthesis. It’s in nuts and seeds and meat, and can be supplemented as a standalone molecule. Bioavailability (how well your body can absorb it) is limited as a supplement though because a lot gets broken down in the gut before it can hit the bloodstream, and it’s frequently paired with L-Citrulline (a different amino acid found in high amounts in watermelon) which is converted to arginine in the body but doesn’t get broken down before being absorbed. Aged Garlic Extract (capitalized because it’s a trademarked version that has specifically been studied) works on this by upregulating nitric oxide synthase (which is just fancy for nitric oxide-making enzyme).

Any sports/bodybuilding product that talks about increasing muscle pump is probably using at least one ingredient that affects nitric oxide levels. For dudes, any reputable supplement marketed for “blood flow” will contain at least one ingredient that affects nitric oxide levels (also a lot of the ingredients in those same products are also marketed as “testosterone boosting” ingredients actually do have uses as nitric oxide boosters if you look at the science). And by reputable I mean you won’t find it at a gas station.

There are various other herbs and things that some studies have shown to affect nitric oxide levels, they’re not as common and/or don’t have much research backing them up, but I’ll list a bunch. Pycnogenol, Horny Goat Weed (epimedium grandiflorum), Grape Seed Extract, Ginseng Tribulus Terrestris. Antioxidants like Resveratrol (a polyphenol originally derived from red grape skins), Glutathione, CoQ10. 

Magnesium

It’s like super important in the body. It’s like the fifth most common element in the human body and is an essential electrolyte for muscle and nerve function. Food sourcing is always best, but there’s arguments to be made that because of corporate monoculturing and depletion of topsoil, that contemporary foods are much lower in minerals than they were pre-industrial. So supplemental. There’s a ton of different types. The way I explain it, pure, metallic magnesium isn’t very useful to the body, so as a supplement you have to chelate (chemistry speak for react it) it with... something. Magnesium oxide is the cheapest (with oxygen). It’s the least bioavailable, but also has the highest elemental Mg of all the chelates. Magnesium Citrate is probably the next most common/cheapest. It’s mixed with citric acid. Take too high a dose of either of these at once and it will cause an electrolye imbalance in your gut. Basically your gut goes hey there’s too much salt in here (and magnesium chelates are salts) and draws a bunch of water into your intestines to flush it out. Sometimes prescribed to treat constipation. The next class are your amino acid chelates. Glycinate, Taurate, Threonate, to name a few. Research is still emerging, but different amino acids get the magnesium to different parts of the body and they have slightly different effects. They’re the most bioavailable because the human body is designed to recognize and digest proteins to amino acids. Magnesium chloride (or ionic) is going to be salt water derived with the sodium salt removed. I personally take a ZMA form, which is Zinc Magnesium Aspartate (with B6) specifically because it’s been well-studied in athletes for promoting restful sleep. I’ve also done a mag citrate in powdered drink form and found that it helped prevent cramping and somewhat mitigate my nighttime bruxism.

Nootropics to control your mood

So there’s all the caffeine and brain performance enhancers. I’m not really into that. A lot of products for memory and focus specifically have herbs and other ingredients that at least some studies have shown increase blood flow to the parts of the brain that help with... memory and focus. Those will be your Huperzine A, Bacopa, Ginkgo Biloba, Rosemary and, well, anything I mentioned above under nitric oxide boosters because more blood flow! I guess the Lion’s Mane Mushrooms would be in this class of nootropics. 

Another class of nootropics are your “Brain Foods” these are direct chemical precursors to various neurotransmitters in your brain. The idea being that if you give your brain more of the raw materials it needs to make serotonin, acetylcholine, gaba or dopamine, it will make them. There’s a bunch and I forget exactly which ones go with which, but L-Tyrosine, TMG (trimethylglycine), L-Phenylalanine, L-Tryptophan (and it’s own metabolite 5-HTP), Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Alpha GPC, L-theanine, GABA, L-Citrulline, L-DOPA (and in plant form as mucuna pruriens).

The one that I recommend most often is L-theanine. It’s an amino acid derived from green tea. It’s part of why the caffeine in tea doesn’t make you as jittery as the same amount of caffeine from coffee. L-theanine is a direct chemical precursor to GABA which is the neurotransmitter most active in the parasympathetic nervous system (aka, the rest and digest nervous system). It’s like a literal chill pill when it comes to acute anxiety and works within like half an hour. You can also get GABA by itself.

You also have your adaptogens, which are a classes of herbs that help balance your hormones and “adapt” to stress. Ashwaganda, rhodiola, various ginsengs, tulsi “holy basil” and I’m sure several others I’m forgetting. Most are from ayurvedic or TCM uses.

There’s also CBD which helps some people with anxiety. The kind you can find at supplement stores or health food stores will be hemp-derived, which means by under the 2018 Farm Bill it cannot contain more than 0.3% THC by weight or it is classified as a marijuana/cannabis product and therefore illegal federally.

Sleep

I don’t fuck with melatonin. Most healthy bodies with an uninterrupted circadian rhythm naturally produce less than 0.3mg of melatonin at night so all these sleep supplements with 1, 5, TEN mg of melatonin kind of scare me and I always try to steer people to a lower dose first unless they’re coming in on doctor’s orders. 

GABA and L-theanine because they’re calming can be helpful for sleep if the problem is turning off your brain. They’re non-sedative on their own but can be helpful. 

Magnesium also relaxes the body and can be helpful for sleep.

CBD and Ashwaganda for their stress-relieving properties are frequently marketed for sleep. 

Herbally there’s valerian, st john’s wort, poppy and kava kava. The risk of complications or potential interference with medications are why I don’t recommend these ones first unless someone is specifically looking for them. Lavender, chamomile, hops, and catnip are all usually pretty safe and common in herbal blends.

Homeopathy

I don’t trust homeopathy. The idea that small amounts of a thing that would normally cause the symptom you’re trying to treat makes sense. That’s the same principle behind inducing an immune response with vaccines. The idea that the more you dilute the thing, the more powerful it’s action in the body? Sketchy at best. The idea that the water used to dilute the thing will remember it so even if the dilution is so massive that there are no actual molecules of the original substance in a hundred pills (that are also, for the record, dry)? You lost me.

That said, surgeons do recommend 6C or 10X Arnica after surgery for bruising and it does seem to lessen the heal time.

Yeah, if you have questions on anything specific, feel free to shoot me an ask. If I don’t know off the top of my head, I can find out.

Green Goddess

My baby @hearteyes-for-killmonger wanted a personalized smutty fic, so I delivered! Hope you enjoy, mama!

A/N: Hobbit Hole is a trademarked phrase coined by the lady herself!

Miss Noelle,

This email is to congratulate you on your extensive research of the benefits of medical marijuana in adolescent cancer patients. As a result, you have been selected as my newest apprentice. I look forward to working with you.

Hennessy Chiron, PhD

Botany and Plant Pathology

Ericka stared at her computer screen for what felt like an eternity. Though she knew her research was good, she never imagined it being noticed by her idol. Dr. Hennessy Chiron was the most successful black female botanist in the world. She graduated top of her class at MIT and owned the biggest marijuana dispensary and research lab in Southern California. Her extensive research made her a formidable player in the pharmaceutical industry and a literal goddess on earth. Ericka could hardly contain her excitement as she told her best friends the news.

————

Monday morning came and Ericka was a nervous wreck. She sat in her car for a full 45 minutes trying to reign in her nerves. Though she was confident in herself and her research, the last thing she wanted was to look like a fool in front of her idol. Finally, her heart rate slowed enough for her to step out of the car. Her twists swayed gently in the morning breeze and the yellow midi bodycon dress and white lab coat accented her coke bottle frame perfectly. She took one last steadying breath before entering the greenhouse.

Immediately she was taken aback by the vast array of plants that inhabited the space. She stopped when she got to the cannabis section, taking in the uniquely named strains.

“You must be the new girl,” a deep voice called, startling her from her revelry. He was big and breathtakingly handsome. He was dressed in a short sleeved black v neck shirt, black slacks, and Gucci loafers. He had dreads that were neatly braided to the back of his head and he was wearing a pair of gold wire glasses.

“Umm, yeah, I’m supposed to be meeting Dr. Chiron. Is she here?”

“Nah,” the handsome stranger responds. “Babygirl had to take care of some things back at her office and asked me to look after the place. She also told me you’d be stopping by. Ericka, right?”

“Yes, that’s right,” she responds quietly. “And you are?”

“Erik,” he responds, stepping into her personal space.

As a reflex, she takes a step back.

“What you shy for, ma? I don’t bite.. unless you want me to,” he says with a smirk.

Ericka bit the inside of her cheeks to keep from smiling at his brashness. Fine and charming? This dude was definitely gonna be a problem.

“So how exactly do you know Dr. Chiron?” she asks trying to avoid the heat building in her nether region.

“Henny and I went to MIT together. She was my dealer and helped me out in botany. We remained close after graduation and now she’s my business partner. I look after the greenhouse when she’s away and she looks after my.. other investments.”

“Interesting backstory,” she says, turning back to the cannabis plants.

“You smoke?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Occasionally,” she replies casually.

Erik walks around to one of the plants and picks off a leaf before grinding it. He rolls a nice sized blunt and sparks it. After a few pulls he holds it out for her.

“This’ll calm your nerves. You been on 10 since you walked in.”

————

Two blunts later and Ericka is a giggling, horny mess. She is sitting on Dr. Chiron’s desk while Erik reclines back, both laughing and talking like they’ve known each other for years. Through the thick cloud of smoke, Ericka notices Erik watching her thick thighs like a predator stalking its prey.

“Did you lose something in there,” she asks, uncrossing her legs to give him a better view.

“Nah,” he responds, voice full of lust. “But I wouldn’t mind getting lost in there,” he says grabbing her ankles and pulling her towards his face. He growls softly as he spreads her legs wider, giving him more access to her hobbit hole. Her breath hitches as his full lips pepper soft kisses on the inside of her thighs. A soft moan escapes her lips as his thick tongue licks up her lace covered lips. “You like that?” he asks huskily.

She bites down on her bottom lip before nodding her head ‘yes’. A sharp bite to her inner thigh makes her whine out softly.

“I need words, Princess. A closed mouth doesn’t get your pussy ate.”

“Yes, Erik,” she coos. “I like it when you do that.”

“That’s more like it,” he responds, effortlessly ripping the lace barrier with his thumbs. Before she can think to protest his thick tongue makes contact with the bundle of nerves at the apex of her thighs.

“Fuck,” she whispers as his tongue skillfully maneuvers through her wetness. She leans back on her elbows to get a better view of him doing the Lord’s work on her sensitive nub.

“What you quiet for, Princess?” he asks between licks. “These walls soundproof, scream for Daddy.”

Her voice goes up an octave as one of his thick fingers enters her tight cavern.

“Not loud enough,” he responds, smacking her outer thigh.

“Oh, shit,” she says a little louder.

“Still too quiet,” he says, adding a second finger.

“FUCK!” she screamed as his fingers curved upward, hitting her g-spot while he simultaneously sucked on her clit for dear life.

“That’s more like it,” he says, repeating the motions until her orgasm comes crashing like a tsunami.

Erik lets her come down from the ancestral plane before bending her over the desk and sliding himself inside her aching core. He starts off with slow, deliberate strokes, almost losing himself in the way she clenched around him.

“Damn ma, you gripping my shit,” he says quickening his pace.

Soft purrs quickly become screams as he rocks into her viciously.

“Fuck, fuck, fuck!” she chants as orgasm number two strikes. Seemingly oblivious to the fact, Erik continues his assault. Ericka was on the brink of tears. It had to be a crime for this man’s dick to be this good. Her voice was hoarse and she was seeing stars. This was Devil Dick. The kind of dick that’ll have you cooking breakfast in the morning butt naked in heels.

Balancing herself on her forearms, Ericka began throwing her ass back on Erik, matching his thrusts with precision. His right hand snaked her back and around her throat, pulling her up against his chiseled chest.

“Fuck! Just like that Princess,” he praised.

Ericka happily obliged, slowly rolling her hips down onto him.

The tightening in core warned them both that orgasm number three was on the way. Ericka continued to fuck herself on Erik’s dick while he sang praises in her ear. With a final thrust, orgasm three hit, leaving Erik’s shaft nice and creamy. The sight sent Erik into overdrive. His pace was fast and animalistic as he chased his own release.

“Fuck ma, where you want it?” He asked gruffly.

Ericka fell to her knees, presenting her tongue to Erik. The sight is all it took for him to release, coating her tonsils with his seed. Ericka was exhausted. He had literally fucked her to sleep. Erik took to time to readjust her dress and discard her ruined panties before pulling her into his lap so she could sleep.

Unbeknownst to them, Dr. Chiron had been watching their little show from the back door of the greenhouse. Smiling to herself, she pulls out her phone and shoots Erik a text.

[kootenaygoon]

So,

Cold tears lingered on my cheeks as we hiked downhill through ankle-deep snow, icy wind gusting up from Kootenay Lake and flowing full in our faces. We trudged from one streetlight to the next, squinting into the swirling darkness, lurching unsteadily. There were four or five of us migrating from a house party further up the hill, and none of us were dressed for this sudden blizzard. Paisley had me around my hips as she took careful steps down the sidewalk, and I pulled my coat tighter around my face. I’ve always been a wuss when it comes to winter, having grown up on the west coast, and I was contemplating a U-turn towards home—it was almost midnight and I knew Muppet and Buster were waiting to be cuddled. 

Since the beginning of our relationship neither Paisley or I had done much partying, as we’d settled into an increasingly cozy home life, but over Christmas we found ourselves navigating increasingly bombastic social scenarios that left us feeling like clueless ancients. Before we’d been feeling bored and under-stimulated, staying home all the time to order takeout and re-watch the Harry Potter series, but now we had the opposite problem—we were scrambling to keep up. As we crossed through the final intersection and rounded down to Front Street I wondered if there was anything at this upcoming party that could compare to luxuriating in a hot bath.

“I’m starting to ponder the nature of suffering here,” I said. “I’m like one minute away from dying in a snowbank.”      

“We’re almost there,” yelled back our friend Caelynn. “It’s right up in that building, the Hall Street Emporium. Like only two blocks further.”

“The party’s in that building? The one with the new pot dispensary?” I asked.

“Yeah, he’s the one that’s putting it on.”

“Who?”

“The main grower, Niles. Apparently he’s handing out a bunch of free weed.”

“You’re shitting me.”

“That’s what my friend texted. She said there’s like 50 people there.”

I’d been keeping a close eye on the cannabis scene since the municipal election, but hadn’t actually pulled the trigger on any Star stories after the pushback I received from management over the Sensible BC thing. I didn’t want to come off to the community as overzealous, too pot-friendly, but marijuana seemed like the main Nelson story that wasn’t being told. There was a long-standing culture of silence around the controversial plant, of secrecy, but with legalization coming I felt like it wasn’t necessary for everyone to hide anymore. Paisley and I had checked out the new place a few weeks earlier, when gossip reached us, and we’d been surprised by how amateur the operation was. It was being run by a 24-year-old former forest fire fighter named Marv, and he’d essentially dragged a glass countertop into an empty room devoid of decorations and proceeded to sell weed and a variety of edibles to whoever walked through the door—he didn’t even check for ID. 

I figured it was only a matter of time before the police intervened.

“That guy Marv is such a heat score,” I said. “It’s like he’s daring the police to raid him.”

“What are they gonna do?” Caelynn asked, defiant. “It’s gonna be legal in like a year anyways, right? Fuck those pigs.”

“They may not be able to do anything right now, but he’s still going about this the wrong way.”

“What’s the right way, then?”

“People appreciate some professionalism. I mean, once legalization comes everything’s going to be so different, above board, and there’s not going to be room for people like him.”

“You wanna put money on that?”

I thought about it for a second. “I bet you 50 bucks he’s shut down within three months.”

Caelynn smiled. “Three months from today? 50 bucks? I’ll shake on that.”

A few minutes later we reached the party, and noisily banged the snow off our boots as we entered the building. The first thing I saw was a baby, unattended, crawling across the floor. Mounted speakers blared Shambhala-style EDM, there was a table crowded with ravaged grocery store appetizers, and a whole variety of bongs and smoking apparatuses surrounding a trio of leather couches. In the corner was a pile of air filtration tubing, attached to a heavy-looking appliance the size of a dishwasher, but none of it was turned on. Marv was drunkenly circling the party, taking pictures, and wasn’t wearing a shirt. He was scrawny to the point of looking emaciated, and his thin moustache was dusted with white powder. He careened across the room to embrace Caelynn, then fished a joint out from his toque and held it out in my direction. 

We lit it.

“Newspaper dude,” he said, taking a toke. “You’ve got a pretty fucking cool job.”

“It’s Will, and this is my partner Paisley.”

“Your partner?”

“I always hated the term ‘girlfriend’, and we’re not married, so…”

“You are fucking beautiful,” Marv said, as he shook her hand. “Don’t mind me, I’m really fucking high right now. I’m actually totally harmless.”

Paisley laughed uncomfortably. “It’s all good. Thanks for having us.”

“It’s not me, man. It’s all Niles. Have you guys met Niles yet?” he asked, his eyes darting. “He organized this whole shindig, he’s the guy. Hey Niles, Niles! Come here, man.”

Niles shook his head apologetically to the people he was standing with, then sauntered over. He was in his early fifties, with a Swayze-esque mane of golden hair, wearing a baby blue suit. His walnut brown tan made his eyes seem supernaturally white, his golden bowtie was comically oversized, and he even kept a chained watch in his side pocket. It almost looked like he was in costume, like he could be tea partying with the Mad Hatter himself.

“The Kootenay Goon,” Niles said. “It’s an honour. I’ve been reading your stuff for months now, wondering when I would get the chance to meet the new shit disturber in town.”

I shook his hand, half-standing from the couch. “Yeah, shit disturber’s about right.”

“And here we have your lady love—Paisley, right?” he said, turning to her. “That was one of the first articles I read by you, Goon, the column you wrote about her. I remember thinking: ‘people should write about love in the newspaper more often’! I thought ‘when was the last time you saw someone fill two pages of a community newspaper with an ode to his girlfriend?’ I find kids think it’s cool to be nonchalant these days, to never emotionally commit to anybody or anything, and I ask you: what ever happened to true romance?”

Niles sunk down on the couch beside us, crossed his legs and began bouncing his foot in the air. Paisley and I shared a quick glance, acknowledging his Shakespearean flamboyance with secret smirks. He took a few tokes from the joint and passed it to Paisley, then draped his elbow on my shoulder. There was an instant familiarity there, a comfort level I wouldn’t typically have with a stranger, and pretty soon our conversation had veered into philosophical territory. He asked me if I believe in pure, unadulterated love. Did it really exist?

I sat forward, tugging at my beard thoughtfully. “For me, there’s just so many things I’ve lost faith in — like I used to be a hyper-Christian teenager and then I ditched on the whole God thing — and love, like human love, is one of the last things I actually believe in, you know?”

“You were a Christian kid?”

“Totally. Worked at a Bible camp in the summers, did missionary trips, the whole deal.”

“And what ended things for you?”

“My youth pastor was arrested for molesting a teenage boy down in Mexico, summer of 2005, during a missions trip. He was a father figure to me, so I started questioning: if I can’t trust him, and he taught me about God, then how can I trust what I know about God?”

“What a funny word, God.”

“I thought you guys would get along,” said Marv, stumbling off. Niles whipped over to a nearby fridge and returned with three beers. We clinked them together and took long pulls as a handful of party-goers began to dance around us. I felt a pleasant heat in my eyeballs. It was starting to get crowded, and loud.

“The vision I have for this place, Goon,” Niles said. “This wouldn’t just be a dispensary. It would be a smoking lounge, a social club … I was thinking maybe massages too, like a spa. Maybe a counsellor, mental health coach, that sort of thing.”

“I’ve heard that there are multiple new ones getting ready to open. The Green Rush, they’re calling it.”

“Yeah, but everyone’s too chickenshit to pull the trigger because they don’t know which way city hall will swing. They let Phil run his club because he keeps things below the radar, but nobody’s really tried strutting out into the light with their balls out yet.”

“Well, except for you.”

He smiled humbly.

“Well, Deb Kozak’s supposed to be more pot-friendly than Dooley,” I said. “That could make a difference in how things go down.”

He sighed. “They’re all the same. All three of them. There was no real choice there. It’s not about their opinions on cannabis, or their public stances or whatever. At the end of the day it’s about the money, and when the time comes they’re going to want their cut. Doesn’t matter who’s sitting in the big seat. They’re all so full of shit.”

He paused for a moment to take a thoughtful pull from his beer, then continued.

“I mean I’ve lived here since 1976, and there’s never been an honest politician in this town. Not once. They’re all lizard-fucking slime bags, all of them dirty in one way or another. You can’t trust a single word they say, remember that. It’s all the same pablum bullshit they’re force-feeding everybody. They say they’re going to act, they have all kinds of pretty words, but what do they actually do? What do they actually accomplish?” he asked. 

“Nothing.”

After chatting intensely for twenty minutes, Niles circulated off to the rest of the party and Paisley and I found ourselves awkwardly clutching our half-finished beers. Caelynn pulled up a chair, sat down on it backwards, and we re-started an earlier debate on the moral standing of Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer. I engaged hard. Paisley put her head on my shoulder and we accepted another joint that was being passed around, sitting comfortable in the rolling fog of bong smoke. My consciousness began to fuzz.

“Oh, I love him,” I heard Paisley say. “What’s his name?”

I tried to locate my partner, distinct amidst the chaos of bodies around me. There were lots of colours. She was down on one knee, laughing, as a German shepherd took happy tongue swipes at her face. Brutus. I looked beyond her to where Snapper stood, leash in hand, wearing a sleeveless jersey that nearly reached his knees. He said something to Paisley, and she said something back, while I tried to maneuver into a standing position. I tried to take a swig of my beer but found it empty. When did that happen?

“Oh, that was tragic,” said Blayne, appearing beside me. She was wearing a bright red jumper, and had her hair braided into pigtails. “You should’ve seen the look of disappointment on your face.”

I smiled. “All these beers keep ending up empty.”

“Funny how that works.”

“I was just heading over to rescue my partner from Snapper before you showed up.”

“Oh, come on. He’s not that bad.”

“Not that bad?” I laughed, and then I doubled over and laughed some more. “Not that bad! Not that bad!” I knew my reaction was disproportionate, maybe nonsensical, but it was just one of those evenings. Blayne had her hand on my shoulder, trying to pull me back under control, and she was laughing now too — but she was laughing at me, laughing.

“You can be kind of an asshole, huh?” she said.

“I’ve made peace with that, yeah.”

“What’s Snapper ever done to you?”

I looked over to where he was chatting with Paisley. I didn’t like how close he was standing to her. She glanced over and made eye contact with me, then looked away again. I’ve never been a particularly possessive boyfriend, but something told me I needed to keep her away from him specifically. I turned to find Blayne blinking up into my face, because I’d failed to answer her.

“He hasn’t done anything to me, I just don’t like his energy.”

“He’s actually a really generous person. You guys could be friends, if you gave him a chance. You’d just have to stop being such a fucking snob.”

“I’m not a snob.”

“No? What are you then?”

Blayne and I sat back down on the couch, still bickering. Dru and Cy were sitting on the couch opposite from us, hand-rolling cigarettes on the coffee table. The music had a pulse, like a heartbeat, and I felt time melt. What was this sensation? I lifted my hands and marvelled at how the blood pulsed into my fingertips. My gaze settled on a dude wearing a psychedelic hoodie, on the sunburst erupting from his armpit. Wow. A woman walked by with a toddler on her hip, her billowing brown hair interlaced with red highlights, beads and little scraps of leather. I wondered what was going on in the minds of these strangers, if they were experiencing a fraction of what I was. This was one more moment, in this interminable line of moments, and who could say if it was any more special than any other? I wondered if anyone else were to tell a story about this moment, would it be different? What were they feeling, what did they see?

Should We Weed Out Weed?

In our world, marijuana is a controversial subject. Many people want it either criminalized and made completely illegal, or legalized and decriminalized. And even those divisions aren’t so simple, as most have various reasons for wanting it legal or illegal, and there are many debates over how regulated it should be. Most of your teachers legally have to say nay to weed, while Bill Nye and various others say yea to its legalization, at least for certain purposes. Some want to ban it to establish a supposedly more moral society, while others simply want it to be de-scheduled to make it easier to buy and study, and others still want it legal so that they can get high. So, to make things clearer, I will relay the facts that I have at my disposal and then tell you what I think.

Firstly, we should probably go over what weed is and how it works. Weed (also known as pot, grass, marijuana, mary jane, devil’s lettuce, etc) is a name for the plant cannabis, which has special resin that contains various compounds, including several psychoactive ones. The primary psychoactive compound in marijuana is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which coats certain receptors in the brain and causes them to release dopamine, which is part of how it gets you high. THC impairs the abilities of the hippocampus, the part of the brain responsible for the creation of new memories, and can cause hallucinations, short-term memory issues, hallucinations, and delusions, but it can also help relieve certain things like nausea and pain, especially when said symptoms are induced by cancer medications. 

Now, one must remember that THC is not the only compound in marijuana resin, nor is it the only one that is psychoactive in nature. Certain extracts have also been found to help those who suffer from epilepsy, and some scientists say that even more potential medicines could be discovered through research. And therein lie the problem: we don’t know all that there is to know about marijuana, and we can’t find out any more about it. And this poses the question of “Why we can’t just research it?” It’s because most governments have marijuana listed as a schedule one drug, which means that it has the potential for addiction and abuse and has no proven medical uses. This forbids us from doing extensive research on cannabis, and also gives it a bad reputation (though it’s still a drug) because opioids, ecstasy, LSD, and various other drugs are listed as being schedule one. Now one would think, “Well, if marijuana has the benefits that you say it does, then why is it schedule one, which means it has no benefits?” The answer to that is that occasionally, some private groups can do some research related to marijuana. Israel is one of few countries to not have marijuana listed as a schedule one drug, and they have massive government research projects related to the study of marijuana for medical purposes.

In summary, marijuana has some pros in regards to its ability to relieve aches and pains as well as relax some people, but it also has its cons in regards to how it can impede brain function and motor skills, and also in regards to how it does have more tar than tobacco, a drug that is legal in the US and is one of the leading causes of death, specifically by lung cancer, in the US. But ultimately, it has more unknowns than pros and cons, and that is why I say it should be legalised in all states for research and medical purposes, with individual states being able to approach the issue of recreational marijuana as they please. As part of this marijuana, should be descheduled and decriminalized. I mean, come on. Does a guy who smoked or was caught with pot really deserve to be in jail with the dude who stabbed someone in a dark alley or the lady who shot her ex in cold blood? Yeah, I don’t think so.

P.S. There is an additional problem here, though. If marijuana is legalised, it can still impede various physical and mental abilities. How do we control this without going overboard and harming society? One answer would be to do as the Swiss did, and make most drugs legal, but regulate their consumption and subsidize them, making it so most people can get their drugs for free from local government health care centers, where they have guaranteed access to clean drugs and equipment, as well having trained and competent medical staff on hand to handle issues and overdoses and to make sure that people don’t leave before most of the worst parts are out of their system. Research found that by lowering the danger associated with drugs and improving social programs and interactions between people actually made them less likely to use drugs anyway. Additionally, few people will buy expensive and potentially dangerous drugs illegally when they can just get free, safe, and clean drugs legally from the government. With no demand, the illegal supply will be to expensive to maintain and will eventually fade as it becomes less profitable.

Inktober Day Six - Leaves

Prompt – Leaves Characters  – Kyle/Kenny Word Count – 514

Note - not my most fall/halloween themed piece but, ah, it was fun to write?

  “And, uh, what do you expect me to do with that?” Kyle quirks his brows, thin lips pinching up in a way that makes him look far too much like his mother.   Kenny rolls his eyes and makes a great show out of shaking the lone pot leaf at Kyle. “It’s for your books, Kylie-b. I figured your prissy ass wouldn’t have any of these yet.”   “You brought me a single weed leaf, so that I could dry, it, press it, and put it in my photo album.” Kyle takes the leaf with two fingers.   “You collect plants,” says Kenny, cheerfully dropping down on the bed. “I brought you a plant.”   Kyle still doesn’t look convinced. He pulls out one of his desk drawers and carefully lays the leaf inside. “Thanks, I guess.”   Kenny swings his legs onto the bed, messing the sheets up on purpose. “No problem, dude.”   He bets the leaf will be in the trash by the end of the day.   “Come on,” whines Kenny. He curls his arms around Kyle’s shoulders, leans up against the back of the chair. “Just put that up for a little bit.”   “I’m in the middle of it, Kenny. I can’t just stop, man. That’s not how this work.” Kyle doesn’t pause typing. Little white letters flood into the black box on the otherwise empty computer screen. “Christ, it’s going to take me twenty minutes. Go find something else to do. Read a book or some shit.”   Kenny presses a kiss to Kyle’s cheek. “What, and risk messing up your shit?”   Kyle taps the keys harder than he needs too. “I mean it, Kenny. Go find something else to do.”   “Fine!” Kenny throws his hands up into the air. “Fine, I’ll just go be lonely over here, Mister Worker Bee. You know, sometimes I can’t even believe you’re from Jersey.”   Kenny does, in fact, end up thubing through the books on the shelf. They’re organized by color first, letters second. He pulls out one of the plant journals; brown spine, four of them sitting next to each other, wedged between Photosynthesis of The Mind and Quarantine.   Twenty minutes turns into an hour, and one plant journal turns into two. Kenny lingers on a page in the middle of the second book, glitter stained lips pulling back to reveal crooked teeth and a gap toothed smile. “Holy fuck. You really put this in here.”   “Almost done,” says Kyle, in lieu of an answer. He’s only half paying attention. There are four black boxes up on the computer.   Kenny runs his fingers over the laminated surface of the page. The pot leaf is neatly pressed under it. There are three labels under it. The first, Cannabis Sativa Indica. The second, marijuana. The third, where a location is usually put, Kenny McCormick.   “I can’t believe you actually kept this thing,” says Kenny, laughing.   The typing stops. “Hang on,” says Kyle. “I swear, I’m almost done.”   Kenny rolls his eyes, but he’s still smiling. “Take your time, man. Not like I’m going anywhere.”

What It’s Like To Be A Woman In Weed Country

These modern-day superwomen are moms, wives, and farmers.

Woman tending to Cannabis plants in Humboldt, California

Chiah Rodriques gets up around five in the morning—that’s when it’s cool enough to start working on her pot farm in Mendocino County in the summertime. She’s also a mother of two; owns a jewelry and clothing boutique in town; and does all the household duties of any homemaker. A typical day includes eight to ten hours of coordinating cannabis distribution and sales, one to three hours in the garden, an hour of bookkeeping and accounting for the boutique, a few hours of after-school activities and meal prep, and a few more hours of work after the kids go to sleep.

She hardly has a moment for herself, a widespread predicament for the women of weed country that’s been exacerbated by dozens of additional hours spent working to comply not only with California’s new cannabis regulations but also with local regs. The tough transition to California’s legal cannabis market has been covered extensively—more than 10,000 cannabis farmers in the Emerald Triangle are anticipated to be left behind. But what often hasn’t been covered is the families affected by this transition.

Out in weed country, the only thing arguably harder than being a pot grower is being partners with a pot grower. The onus of this role most commonly falls on the women of the community—mothers, wives, business owners, operations managers, policy wonks, community volunteers, board members, cannabis breeders, and pot growers in their own right.

In the Emerald Triangle and surrounding areas, women run the town. “While the men are out in the field, the women are opening restaurants in town so we can eat, they’re out there doing political stuff, helping run the hospital, volunteering to help small community schools run,” says Becky Crossland, an Emerald Triangle cannabis farmer from Garberville. At the same time, they’re co-managing pot farms with their partners, overseeing operations both in the field and behind a computer screen, pouring over California’s maze of legal weed regulations, and advocating for better local laws. “This community does not run on growing weed alone,” Crossland says.

A farmer in her own right, Rodriques also operates Mendocino Generations, a collective of 60 farms that produce the flowers for Arcanna. These days, in addition to all her daily tasks, Rodriques is trying to navigate the new local track-and-trace program, attend county board of supervisors meetings, work out zoning issues, and plan two to four workshops a month on licensing and compliance for farmers in the collective.

“It’s definitely a daily struggle. The stress level is affecting our bodies,” she says. “It affects your sleep, so you’re extra tired, then drink more caffeine, and you’re in a fucked up cycle of trying to balance your energy with things that aren’t helping.”

The stress has taken a toll on her mental health, as well, though recently Rodriques and her husband haven’t even been able to afford therapy together since their sales on flower have been lagging since legalization took effect. The volatility of the cannabis market, Crossland says, has had a serious impact on the well-being of Emerald Triangle families. People have the impression, she feels, that Emerald Triangle cannabis farmers are wealthy when, in reality, they’re struggling to stay afloat, especially post-recreational legalization. Just a few years ago, pounds of marijuana in the Emerald Triangle used to sell on the black market for $1200, now they go for as low as $500.

Then, there’s the conditions in the Emerald Triangle. Rodriques, her husband, and her older son all suffer from lyme disease, which is common in weed country thanks to a large population of ticks. For most people, antibiotics don’t alleviate the chronic illness. Instead, Rodriques has her family on a specific diet, free of gluten, that helps them maintain their health in the face of the disease. Still, it’s created a great deal of anxiety for them.

For Rodriques and her husband, it’s so rare they have a conversation that isn’t about weed that anything else feels like an afterthought. “I have to remind myself to be really present with my family,” Rodriques says. “Being more present is a goal of mine.” That, and taking more time for herself without feeling selfish or guilty about it. Rodriques’ husband never takes time off, either.

“It’s vital for us to remember that that’s super important,” she says. “Whether it’s sleeping in one day or flipping through a book that has nothing to do with cannabis or having a conversation that has nothing to do with cannabis farming.”

For some Emerald Triangle couples, the work is so consuming that it consumes the marriage altogether, at times ending in divorce. Other times, the stress of the job drives people to drink or use other drugs and pharmaceuticals.

“We love each other deeply but we’ve questioned if we wanted to continue being in this relationship,” says Wendy Kornberg, CEO at Sunnabis and mother of two living in Humboldt. “He quit drinking last year, which helped a lot and it definitely helped me to re-assess and re-prioritize him and us.” Like Rodriques, Kornberg also wakes up at the crack of dawn: tending to her kids, the farm, research and development, genetic breeding, business operations, legal compliance, and volunteering at the local school.

She says she and her “unhusband” often struggle to find time for each other—date night is rare, though she aims to set aside at least one day out of two weekends a month for family time. The couple will head to the beach from Humboldt with their kids, while Kornberg uses that time to forage seaweed for a Korean natural farming method she practices.

“I think the hardest part is because we work together and live together, there’s no leaving work at the job place,” she says. “You live in the job place and we struggle with that.”

That’s not to mention the additional stressors, such as sexism in the cannabis industry. Men often refer to Kornberg as “bro” on Instagram, not realizing she’s a woman running the account. And on sales and marketing trips, people so often used to defer only to her partner that she stopped bringing him altogether.

“We take extreme pride in our curing methods, which I learned and studied for three years from a master of the region. We don’t touch the flower when we harvest it to preserve every trichome, and we never let the barn temperature raise above 72 degrees to preserve every terpene, which can be extremely tricky when you have an off-grid system in 110-degree summer heat.” -Jessi Bergsma Rockenbach, co-owner of Terra Vida farms in the Emerald Triangle (Photo by Jessi Bergsma Rockenbach)

“It’s a male-dominated world,” she says. “I’d be talking and they’d instantly talk to him, and though he was like, ‘Guys you’re not getting it, I’m not the dude in charge, she’s the dude in charge,’ it just became easier to not have him there.”

Despite running a business, plowing through compliance, and so forth, as a mom, Kornberg says she’s also expected to be at all her kids’ school functions: bake for the bake sale, have the house in order, and so forth.

At such an uncertain time in weed history, Emerald Triangle couples-turned-business partners are bending over backward to operate according to the law. With the added responsibility of compliance alongside the regular farm life duties, it’s a common complaint among cannabis families that they never get to talk about—let alone think about—anything other than weed.

“Even after years of dodging choppers and keeping a backpack of running shoes and a passport by the door, nothing could have prepared me for the wave of fear that came with ‘legalization.’ Much of our community was compromised by stringent local zoning standards, and many weren’t allowed the opportunity to come into compliance. I love and deeply feel for my community. Legalization is upon us, yet we are still in the midst of the tail end of the war. Every day our courage is tested, in new and different ways. But now I can say, ‘I am a farmer’ out loud in public, and it’s still thrilling every time.” – Jessi Bergsma Rockenbach, co-owner of Terra Vida farms in the Emerald Triangle in midsummer 2017. (Photo by Cody Stevenson)

“You can’t take the work stress into the relationship,” says Jessi Bergsma Rockenbach, co-owner of Terra Vida farms in Humboldt, who works alongside her long-term partner on the farm. “We have a rule: No talking about weed in the bed. And if we’re on date night, which is rare, we have a safe word for the dinner table if we go in that direction.”

Vermont just legalized marijuana, but not like Colorado

Weed, dude.

Image: The Washington Post/Getty Images

 The Green Mountain State now has a totally different meaning for Vermont.

For the first time, a state legislature in the U.S. legalized adult cannabis use for adults 21 and older. The other states that allow recreational cannabis use — Colorado, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, California, Nevada, Massachusetts, and Maine, as well as Washington D.C. — got there with ballot measures. 

SEE ALSO: This weed company just reinvented the bong

Vermont Gov. Phil Scott signed the bill on Monday, which will go into effect on July 31, and will allow adults to possess one ounce or less of cannabis flower. Additionally, adults may posses up to two mature marijuana plants and up to four immature plants. 

The bill does not permit the sale of recreational cannabis, meaning you can not go to your neighborhood pot shop and pick up an ounce of OG Kush. This marks an important opportunity for states that may be considering legal cannabis use in their state, but aren't ready to take the plunge into recreational sales like Colorado, or most recently California. The Vermont legislature is expected to develop a system for sales and taxation in the future. 

Other state legislatures that could follow in Vermont’s footsteps include Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.

'I personally believe that what adults do behind closed doors and on private property is their choice.'

"I personally believe that what adults do behind closed doors and on private property is their choice, so long as it does not negatively impact the health and safety of others, especially children,” Scott said in a statement. 

“While this legislation decriminalizes, for adults 21 and older, personal possession of no more than 1 ounce, and cultivation of two mature plants on their private property, marijuana remains a controlled substance in Vermont and its sale is prohibited. Also, consumption of marijuana in public places is prohibited. Consumption of marijuana by operators and passengers in a motor vehicle is prohibited. Schools, employers, municipalities and landlords are also empowered to adopt policies and ordinances further restricting the cultivation and use,” the statement reads. 

Scott also directly said he would veto any plan that would implement the sale of commercial cannabis until there is a plan to "develop comprehensive education, prevention and highway safety strategies."

“To be very direct: There must be comprehensive and convincing plans completed in these areas before I will begin to consider the wisdom of implementing a commercial ‘tax and regulate’ system for an adult marijuana market," Scott said. "It is important for the General Assembly to know that — until we have a workable plan to address each of these concerns — I will veto any additional effort along these lines, which manages to reach my desk.”

Scott previously vetoed a version of the same bill, saying, "We must get this right." 

In an October Gallup pole, 64 percent of Americans supported legalized marijuana use in the United States, which is an all-time high. 

While states continue to legalize cannabis use, marijuana remains federally illegal as a Schedule 1 drug on the DEA's classification list, alongside heroin. Additionally, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions vetoed policies put in place by the Obama administration that protects states that legalize cannabis earlier this month, striking fear into the cannabis industry that the Feds may crack down on recreational sales.

medical marijuana aint shit and stoners aint shit either, ya'll are a bunch of lazy no bodies and i think its sad and pitiful how people become dependent upon a plant

😮 Woah dude, no need to be rude. You are entitled to your opinion but I strongly disagree with you. You have no idea what said plant has done for me and how much it has helped me or how it has helped others who have/had serious illnesses that very well could have killed them if not for the help of cannabis. You have a choice to feel the way you do but it’s pretty sad that you choose to waste so much energy being mad over something you can’t control. You can’t control what other people do of their own free will, smoking marijuana is a choice and you need to learn to accept that not everyone else is like you or thinks like you and it isn’t just about smoking cannabis to get high, I am responsible with marijuana and I don’t abuse it. I’m not stoned all day every day, I use it at certain times like medication and it’s not like I’m in it for the socializing I do it because it actually helps me! It helps me with back pain due to an accident I was in when I was 18!. Also depression, anxiety disorder, PTSD, insomnia and I used to have an eating disorder, it helped me get a healthy appetite again so I actually eat like I should because I used to starve myself and had shitty self esteem and was bullied a lot in school on top of having to live with a very abusive step father who beat me and tried to molest me, thus why I have the PTSD! Also FYI: I eat healthier than I ever have. It also helps me when I meditate or seek inspiration for my art. You can’t sit there and judge me for you do not know me or my struggles and I don’t know you. all I am seeing is a blatant disregard for people’s freedom to choose what they do with their own bodies. If I want to smoke it I will. I get it in the mail from a dispensary I’m sorry you don’t like the marijuana content I “sometimes blog” and if you don’t like it feel free to unfollow. I also try to remember to tag those kinds of things, same with the occasional NSFW content I “sometimes blog”. The use of marijuana has been a safe and positive process for me. Also I’d like to add that I’ve known stoners who have managed to have successful careers and happy lives and they smoke weed. So no I don’t agree with your opinion of stoners not amounting to anything. I also have a pretty good life myself considering my mental illness, past traumas and physical pain. I still feel grateful for every day I’m here though life has been a struggle I some how managed to keep a mostly positive (I try any way). People have different ways of coping with pain, stress and mental illness. I myself have had therapy, have had mental illness drugs prescribed me, exercised, eaten healthy and I’m finally getting good at socializing because marijuana has helped me come out of my shell and learn to relax around new people so my anxiety doesn’t interfere, I’m not sitting and worrying about what other people are thinking of me. I don’t care any more. Its freeing. I can actually talk and connect with people and my friends and family see how happy I am and how it has played a part in helping me develop spiritually and emotionally. Any way I shouldn’t have to explain or try to justify my choices to you, I’m sure you don’t care and I doubt I can change your mind so how about you go your way and leave me be. Thanks and have a nice life. Jeeze.

Cannabis for Fitness

This is your brain on pot:

But can weed really deliver all the fitness benefits of a nutritious, protein-packed fried egg?

If you ask most people, they’ll likely define the common stoner as a lazy, unmotivated heap sprawled out on a couch with a bag of chips and a 7-Eleven Slurpee. But if you ask scientists, you get quite a different picture.

Smoking Weed and Working Out:

Contrary to popular belief, marijuana users actually have an affinity for fitness. In fact, researchers at the University of Colorado in Boulder discovered that 80% of marijuana users in weed-legal states reported consuming cannabis shortly before or after exercise, and more than half consumed cannabis both before and after working out.

Okay, well these are just chronic stoners, not fitness gods, right? Wrong. A recent 2020 study found that about 25% of elite athletes used some form of cannabis in the past year.

Additionally, scientists have found that over half of research participants who incorporated cannabis into their exercise regimens reported increased motivation, while a vast majority said it increased enjoyability and improved their recovery.

There’s plenty of hard evidence to suggest that incorporating cannabis into your routine could benefit your beach bod. For example, research done by Maksud and Baron in the 1980s found that cannabis users were likely to have less fat than non-users.

Those who consumed marijuana had significantly lower BMI and body fat, a common observation found in most similar studies. That means that people who use cannabis are more likely to be in better physical shape than those who don’t!

There certainly seems to be more than meets the eye when it comes to the cannabis-fitness combination. People who smoke marijuana don't seem to meet the couch potato stigma that they are often associated with. But how does one maximize the benefits of cannabis in their workout?

Should I smoke weed before my workout?

It may seem counterintuitive to consume marijuana in your pre-workout ritual, however, there are many gym rats who would disagree.

Plenty of people believe that cannabis can positively impact focus and “flow” during a workout, as is shown in a recent 2018 study where 77% of participants felt that their performance at the gym was enhanced by marijuana when using it before or in the midst of their workout.

Stress and anxieties can be a burden on your fitness routine, and marijuana is a proven anti-anxiety tool.

Is that beautiful woman on the glute machine staring at you? Is that jacked dude judging your arm-curl form? Using weed before the gym might help quell these anxieties so you can simply focus on yourself and get in the zone.

Cannabis consumption is not an ideal pre-workout ritual for everyone though. Before a championship game or a marathon might not be the best time to smoke pot. According to experts, this could make for an unsafe situation since weed can have a tendency to impair mental and motor abilities, especially if you are attempting a new type of workout, or an especially challenging one.

However, since cannabis is tried and true when it comes to pain control, experts and medical doctors alike say smoking weed can positively impact your low-key training days.

Similar to a runner’s high, marijuana can improve an athlete’s endurance and numb their aches when used before or during their training sessions.

Cannabinoids work to heighten fitness in various ways, but mainly by releasing endorphins, which is exactly what happens during a runner’s high. Cannabis also works to counteract conditions like back pain or chronic knee pain so that an athlete can work out longer and happier.

But isn’t smoking detrimental to the lungs?

After all, oxygen is an imperative component of fitness. The science says that marijuana isn’t much of a factor when it comes to breathing easily in a workout.

Some of the best predictors of athleticism include oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide output, heart rate, and minute ventilation.

A 1986 study compared cannabis users with non-users and found that there was virtually no difference in all of these categories between the groups, even when the participants were exercising at peak performance.

So smoking marijuana before your workout can be an effective way to increase enjoyment without harming your heart and lungs.

Should I smoke weed after my workout?

Although there is plenty of anecdotal praise when it comes to using weed before working out, a quick skim of Reddit and other popular forums lead to a common consensus: “Never before, frequently after.”

Athletes who were surveyed across a variety of studies overwhelmingly touted the benefits of including cannabis in their post-workout rituals, namely pain reduction, sleep aid effects, and overall calming.

When it came to using pot before physical activity, there were substantially fewer endorsements as athletes usually felt that pot might decrease motivation and impede performance.

Who doesn’t like to reward themselves for dominating a session at the gym? Smoking a joint can be an ideal way to pat yourself on the back after a challenging workout.

Not only do the effects of cannabis become stronger after physical activity, but marijuana can also be a fantastic aid for post-workout recovery. Research is increasingly pointing to marijuana as an ideal tool to improve important factors in recovery like inflammation and appetite.

The most common use for cannabis in the fitness world is pain-management. Take UFC fighter Nate Diaz who made headlines when he vaped CBD after a fight with Conor McGregor that left him bloodied and bruised saying, it “helps with the healing process and inflammation and stuff like that.”

In fact, CBD, a chemical in the cannabis plant, is getting so popular among athletes that the World Anti-Doping Agency recently removed the chemical from its list of banned substances.

Being one of the most popular cannabinoids, and a legal one at that, CBD is widely used and respected in the fitness world.

But CBD is just one of many components of cannabis, and being such a dynamic plant with hundreds of potentially biologically active chemicals, there can be a variety of effects that can either help or hurt physical activity.

Conclusion: Is weed good for working out?

There is much more research to be done to define the best elements of marijuana to use for a workout, including the many effects of various combinations of cannabinoids like THC and CBD, which show great promise.

Just keep in mind that even if one cannabis product doesn’t improve your workout or recovery, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a type of strain or edible that can deliver the effects you want to become a better athlete.

And with no chemically addictive properties, no hangover, and increasing accessibility, cannabis products are quickly becoming preferable to drugs like opioids and benzodiazepines which can easily impede a fitness routine.

As opposed to putting harmful lab-made drugs into their bodies, many fitness aficionados are increasingly turning to cannabis as a natural alternative.

Whether you’re seeking better results in the gym, faster and improved recovery, or simply need some motivation to get back in shape, adding cannabis into your workout routine could very well be the boost you need to take your training to the next level.

Enjoy your workout, and enjoy your weed too!

This is a story of a man who sought to bring purer, more affordable access to hemp and CBD being betrayed, run-around, and even wrongfully arrested while trying to do the right thing.

We’re about to walk you through a #Kentucky born #corruption in the industrial #hemp trade. Imagine making a major investment in which you dotted all of your I’s and crossed all of your T’s through education, law, regulation, and business practice only to have it stolen. The very people who helped you bring new business to their state turn on you. From the beginning to the end, this is the story of a man who sought to bring purer, more affordable access to hemp and CBD being betrayed, run-around, and even wrongfully arrested while trying to do the right thing.

  Thanks for The Mad LiberTEA Party sharing this video.

See the subtitle in the video👉[expand]

you ready dude fucking always ready

it’s the biggest corruption scandal

you’ve never heard of and he’s naming

names that is right y’all and we are

back again to stir the teeth

y’all best stay tuned because we have

got a story for you hey y’all this is

Mike and this is Paxton and welcome to

the mad Liberty Party we’re left is

right up is down the room is always gone

in the world is full of fuckin clowns

feel like the world’s gone mad then pull

up a chair and we’ll throw you a tea cup

cuz we’re all mad here yep and while we

usually say that madness is more fun

with friends sometimes you got to come

together with friends just a freaking

push the madness back we have a little

bit of something different for you guys

today this isn’t our normal kind of like

faces of Liberty chill chitchat we have

a story and you’re not gonna like it but

you’re gonna want to hear this would you

hate so with us we do have a friend

Keith would you like to introduce

yourself my name is Keith Taylor I live

in California and I grow cannabis

marijuana and industrial hands yes and

the story that we got that we that

brought us together it is just a wild

ride you you guys we’ve talked to plenty

of you guys about the drug trade we’ve

talked to you guys about how the

government will reach down and and dick

over people we’ve talked to you guys

about all sorts of things we’ve talked

about contra and I guess today we’re

gonna tell you a little bit of your

story um I would like that like and and

I would like to start it off by just

asking you would I asked you the first

time when we met you know like what how

did you get in this place

like how did this happen how does happen

well I’ve been involved in the cannabis

industry for many many years and uh but

involved top companies in the cannabis

industry you know since I can remember

and uh so you know also a good

connections over in China I’ve been

doing business there for going on 19 20

years now then face but I want to make

the transition from THC to CBD

because uh once started helping out

cancer patients because I see what was

happening with them getting drained and

still dying you know everything they

take from them and they still dying here

so I figured if I could make cancer

carrying drugs that’d be great so that’s

why I started doing and I found the

technology in China to do it on a

commercial level and scale so it’s went

over there got technology let’s make

this shortly in the brought to America

okay

first place that I want to do it on the

commercial scale and the only place in

the industrial and I’ve got a mall so it

was part of the industrial hemp and

still AM and that’s all him research

pilot program the federal government so

the only place you feel it on a

commercial scale in 2018 or 1718 was a

kentucky yeah everywhere else hear from

you and you know under no microscope you

know in a university or something like

that right this is this is all you all

commercial levels because you want to go

so I went bigger than eating with

everyone in America the American history

so I made American history I did 2300

acres was a 3.6 square miles will cover

half of San Francisco California in so

what comes along with that though snakes

on the starts lots of them are cartels

you know so basically that in this

position was by knowing how to grow vast

amounts of cannabis and

you know at the same time you know huge

scale knowing the processing of it might

turn into cancer curing drugs how’d she

take it

the stock in make make fibre things to

them is you know with plastics make

animal bet even you know heard things

like that use the whole plant right so

there’s some ones could use the whole

plane we could grow on wide by scale

this enormous you know scale is just

people want wants you but the only wants

you long enough to where you get it done

alright I’ll have to bring all these

things together tried to bring China in

the u.s. together how to bring

California Kentucky together you know

that I’m gonna bring all of the people

in those communities together you know

and put it all in one place in Western

Kentucky and uh there’s a big

undertaking you know cost me over a

million dollars in my own pocket okay

and you know all my family connections

political connections and industrial

connections namely this is all the

leverage every part of my life and there

were a lot of people there at that

shovel party yeah so you know and so you

know I got it done but uh you know I

think that greed that’s it

you know we reach that scene no one’s

understood me I’m I’m so zeroed in and

focused on the ultimate goal which was

to bring the CBD it was a cancer caring

drug or a drug

I called John chemical whatever you want

to call it you know to the American

people for those but they’re the best

quality for the least expensive cost

right because it you know figure that’s

the least I could do for the American

people since I was able to go out and

get the only technology that exists in

the world to cure this cancer and the

FDA gonna probably want to slap mean

shit to me and send me letters Sam can’t

say that should welcome eighties cancer

cure okay because I’ve cured by people

with cancer

okay so I don’t care

they say on what could you say certain

things because then you know people

might know that that’s what they got to

do instead of go get IVs of drugs that

are gonna kill you from the

pharmaceutical industry and then once

you feel bad they’re gonna show you

drugs so you don’t feel bad I remember

them coming out with this story from

Canada seeing that they were using it to

help like basically causes cancer cells

to kind of like eat themselves almost

and then all of a sudden you just never

hear these things again they keep coming

out with these things saying oh it can

be treated and then you never hear from

it again the FDA is of monopoly what

they do is they are regulating shit so

there’s only one thing that you can

actually use and of course they’re

getting funneled money by those

individual people because that’s how

they make money so of course you’re not

gonna ever come up with the fucking cure

because that hurts their business the

people in the FDA are probably the most

corrupt people in fucking America

besides the DEA FBI I mean the list is

pretty pretty long if it sounds like

part of the ABCs is probably not good

the good guys in America I’ve seen the

bad guys in our society you’ll realize

real quick standing on to like you can

get people to come walk out even to the

middle of the road they start to realize

it’s not right no right at all so I

guess you know like I caught up with you

know I got I got China in in America and

I got the source of you know I got

things coming from everywhere I’m I got

my seeds from Italy sixth generation

Italian variety you know good high

yielding CBD will also best fiber in the

world so you can make nice clothes so I

mean I would source the best in the

world of every fucking thing I could

because I mean why if you’re gonna do

something I do

right it’s got to be the best of the

best of the best so Virginia and was

like I said people Greece are setting in

I start thinking okay non-self can

leverage the leverage that because I’ve

got a lot of people in my inner circle

now because it

I had to incorporate countries states

counties

you know cities what have you and so the

people that are in the inner core and

then it would be but the Kentucky

Department of Agriculture it was a

fucking joke by the way okay it looks

commissioner he’s a piece of shit

he’s a liar okay and I told him not to

uh go on record to the so USDA which is

you know so the Commissioner going to

see what he’s gonna put out so I know

that we’re gonna put out like over a

month ahead of time so I said a right to

his general counsel email tone joke joke

joke you know you really can’t get get

your guys in right victims in that out

but you’ve gotta stop him from sending

that out and I’ll tell you why because

number one you already know what about

2300 acres missing okay

Kentucky as a whole the prior year only

did 2300 acres okay so how could you say

nut is wrong when you’re industrial hemp

research pilot program well you

basically die once you do your old state

grew last year missing by one guy you’re

gonna you’re gonna kill his career you

know if people find this out you know so

don’t do it I said we’re on keep

offering you now is opportunity to

correct it before you seen that in

instead of covering it up so if you try

to cover it up instead come on anyway

yeah you know that yeah so they decide

they’re gonna cover it up okay so now

the cover pictures on so they push it

out and I know best in America with the

press industrial and research pilot

program in the nation on this shit back

thinking fucking guys knuckleheads right

because how could you say that you’re

missing almost everything for you stay

okay um you’ve been it’s been reported

to you you tell me okay okay if if I’m

missing all this and um processor and

handler what do I put them like my

annual report because it’s all been

spoken they said just put zero so I went

from 2200 acres to zero any other state

if I fucking did this shit or any other

business I said if everyone knew I had

the biggest amount of anything in the

fucking world or nation and then I’ve

claimed

zero that’s like I made drunk I made two

billion dollars last year and I claimed

zero right no money I want to pay any

taxes what would happen to me I’ll go to

fucking jail right so look you know look

I want to pay my taxes because I’m

probably all about a hundred million

dollars okay okay been one of their

freakin prisons for not giving them

their fucking war dues yeah it’s

actually called a court tell tax working

so I was a co-founder of California

finest Americans people marijuana

cigarettes right fuck big taxes right

because we had the first legal grow in

California and you want to keep that

going so basically how to keep that

noise you got a piggy so go to my CPA

what do we do because of 1k tests in the

world there’s actually a thing called a

cartel tax but it’s 50% so what so

everything that you can normally claim

in it nothing a regular business you

cannot write off you can’t write off

shit almost basically they’re cut is

passed

okay so we sort of came the Courtauld X

so now is that much yeah sucks it sucks

but at the same time shit they’re big

big profit margins right so you could

afford to share so I didn’t care Thanks

so now I’m going now that will be that

like a true acres of marijuana in Reno

greenhouses right so now I’m dealing

with 2,300

instead of going you know hundreds of

pounds and thousands of pounds into

millions right yeah he shows yeah 27 and

a half moon okay so that’s a lot of

tonnage right and it’s no longer pounds

you’re talking tons of Nellie referred

to this punish and you know I know for

sure you know but you you miss a payment

on your taxes I’m done because there’s

nobody’s gonna ever dig yourself out of

this one if you’re doing it business

shit we’re gonna do so I mean I’m don’t

look shake that stolen I know loot okay

these guys were in on it

look I want to pay the money you know

talk to these guys

we don’t want to hear it right but we do

and just fucking take the loss right but

you know me there’s the chairman and

president

I can’t just take the loss right

I didn’t add egg the buck stops here so

they’re gonna say why didn’t you do

anything

did you contact anybody okay I contacted

the DEA I contacted the FBI I contacted

the Senators Congressmen Department of

Kentucky everyone involved industrial

hemp research – no one wants to say shit

right they don’t want to hear nothing

right

they don’t care but you bet your ass you

know when they come knocking for the tax

money what am I gonna say you know so I

can say that talk to all these people

but then um someone did then I get a

break in the action right

and this comes with a they catch a truck

18-wheeler leave in Kentucky heading to

Colorado right

the going to Tulsa Oklahoma Osage Nation

right and to get pulled over stupid

trying to be incognito but you got it

you got a trailing man right behind them

fucking armored guys right arm on dart

saying you’ve drawn attention to

themselves it’s cops form over boom they

find it you’ve got a couple pallets of

industrial hemp and the rest of them –

marijuana right that’s all Kentucky

roses marijuana I think I’m the only guy

in Kentucky that grows industrial to be

honestly but they all grow marijuana

three years and I’m fuck notice but

everyone’s gonna fucking know I’m the

fucking top and by that you mean that

it’s like way above the the be allotted

number the percentage oh shit

Kentucky’s been growing the number one

cash crop for Kentucky is marijuana okay

years okay you ever heard of these guys

called the cornbread mafia okay Lord

just bust in US history

okay happened in Kentucky the bosses the

guys in called cornbread mafia probably

do not they could not get any

indictments because no one would talk

because they’re all inbred there you

know and when they say inbred it’s not

like they fucking their sisters and

their moms and shit like that it’s yeah

it’s a breading society you know I

always thought it was when I started

working with them they rotate all their

people and they have meetings all the

time so they’re mayors and judges I mean

they’re just circling around you win in

at some other state of life for many

people to learn they’re just swapping

out information all the time then

covering each other’s asses like mother

everyone everyone says I don’t like that

guy and they say they don’t like that

guy that means that’s the best for

everybody not talking to shit on it

right but they’re opening it up for you

to talk see on the guy right so but I

already know this shit anything so I’m

just sitting back studying these fuckers

but yeah so marijuana is their number

one cash crop always been always has

been always will be

okay so I’m the only guy going in the

store and they’re basically and so the

truck is pulled over in Oklahoma bang

so I hear but I thought I’m sorry I get

a hold of the arresting officer doctrine

purple now it’s only fucking graphic and

I need from them because some of that

him is mine because I’ve got millions of

pounds missing right and so obviously I

know what they’re using my shit or

they’re using it to put off all of the

marijuana on all the trucks in the last

four pallets to here to here I’m gonna

be or or there may be nice and go six

pallets you know what uh I know that

it’s gonna be mine the rest of marijuana

so they opened the thing then everything

says they’re in the industrial hemp

research pilot program and they’re say

oh here’s our paperwork and there’s a

him but that shit’s not so bad

so I knew that was mine so I got I

wanted I’m trying to grab my shit so I

need to be able to get in and testify

today so it’s with the truck now now

talk to the arresting officer who

sheriff wypall then I said don’t look

I’m gonna need to get somebody test I

need I need to grab some samples off the

truck I think a lot of you know whatever

any industrial hemp on there is mine the

rest of that shoots marijuana I could

tell and I also need that ship who’s

gonna be mine because the Hanna Dean was

called a super sexy super super suppose

about a thousand pounds okay and is what

you put it is what we realize would only

guys that use super sex for industrial

name because no one else drives number

one no one else ever no one else even

asking number two were the only ones

that dry it okay and so we have named

exercise dryer it’s the size of a

fucking bust right so you had to dry so

much right

so England putting these super sacks

Naxos super sacks on your low back

fucking mind sure right so I need to get

that shit so protested and so I could

you know get my shit back off that truck

and figure out what’s going on so they

throw me well you don’t see that address

I know file report so gotta file report

place of picked on you fine so I’m

talking to them they’re like so I know

you gotta understand they’re crooked

they’re cooker didn’t cook it over there

like I mean they may be called the state

police but they’re like Mexican police

right they’ll be carrying the ak-47 on a

fucking motorcycle right fucking rescue

and nothing in the money your wallet

that’s huh yeah they’re just they’re

just the police their own cartel so I’ve

got I’ve been going so I’m like you know

I gotta press charges on these guys is

that here’s all the evidence

Oh

shit on these guys tried to bribe me

don’t call commercial bribery he said

hey look we got this much left in the

empty so I mean I could’ve made you know

he was some about five six ten million

fucking dollars right

but again I’m the champ okay so I know

everything is missing and they forgive

me millions of dollars shut the fuck up

sorry you know can I do it I know this

is not all plus where’s my fiber in my

hurt you know and say sorry is what you

get so I’m not gonna be accepted

so all these listening down every every

penal code that they broke trying to get

going on said I know I report just

getting so again I not only the sheriff

some attorney that’s now hold you the

evidence of this fucking truck

18-wheeler is evidence only get him get

into that thing and get the examples is

through this report so I got all this

just goes onions so overwhelming I mean

I’m talking yes so much you got a

question yeah yeah yeah I really hate to

interrupt you because you’re killing it

I love the story so far this is really

good I mean it’s it’s it’s horrible but

it’s really good but I’m just really

curious about the bribe stuff that you

had mentioned I don’t know that’s

something you want to talk about over 20

Frank they try to give me three hundred

and thirty thousand fucking pounds okay

which you could grab that up about 50

acres yeah I mean so where the rest in

you go what about my investors okay and

what about mine you know what about my

company what about the people I’m trying

to help

what about what about the two companies

I could have took taken off of 100%

import of materials to now transfer them

to be domestic fucking product this is

what all of our politicians talk about

but never fucking I brought industry

back to America

yeah okay but then they fucking away and

take it away because you got the fucking

black market you got the cartel stealing

everything selling it for fucking

pennies on the dollar

yeah so the bride can press but well I

think you’re about to say it but how

exactly did they give you the bride

elected was this in-person email letter

they sent me said this is the entire

2018 crop nothing has been sold and blah

blah blah

they should’ve said this mm is the

leftovers of the 2018 crop that hasn’t

been stolen

so but they’re not so this is supposed

to be a whole entire problem and so as

chairman of the organization and

president I can do one of two things I

could take the bribe because it’s a

bribe because I I’d say it’s a broad

look I already know what my project the

yields were supposed to be for the year

right I know how many seeds

I’m putting around I did about 30,000

pounds of students from four hundred and

fifty thousand dollars for a thousand

acres I had two lots

I had a thousand acres 1,300 acres

breaking under this is the seed guy he’s

already growing it I’m buying all the

floral material necessary the other one

I own everything on okay so 2,200 acres

total so I know

fucking and I wanted it that way I’m

going to keep the math simple thousand

acres 30,000 pounds 30 pounds per acre

scenery 30 pounds per acre

okay you’ve got to understand there also

there’s twenty seven thousand five

hundred seeds per pound so you’re

looking at about nine hundred thousand

potential plants per acre okay

marijuana guys usually grow about 2,300

plants per acre yeah I’m talking almost

a million plants per acre I get out

about 15 to 25 grams okay we’re talking

thirteen thousand pounds of drag floral

material per acre okay so

you understand you guys want to give you

some nothing right I can’t very well I

know not only by what we did last the

previous year before I decided to claim

five and over and then let a Campania I

had everything tested and ran all the

strings so I’m newly produced okay I

knew like I just told you the seeds

Holmes Brigid is that so now I’m doing a

thousand thousand acres thirty pounds

per acre and thirty thousand pounds it

seems foreign 50 grand

then I know what’s going to yield

because I know what yeah last year and I

know it’s gonna heal this next year

because he’s gonna have we had more Sun

and more rain so I couldn’t very well as

you say okay give me the three hundred

thousand pounds I’ll fucking hockey

fucking take the money and run right

because right that’s number one I’m an

honest guy we’re gonna do that because

I’m building a company that I’m going to

utilize to make this country a better

place right among the industrial hemp

research pilot program which I’m cast

with um showing America if this is a

viable crop or not and if so you know

still the shit out of it yeah yeah so so

so basically I was showing him this as

it was growing and they already do

because I got Senator McConnell behind

me in congressman comer and I was able

through through them and myself to get

it commoditize and legalize through

Donald Trump at the end of 2008 to shit

Wow yeah I worked my ass off you know in

McConnell didn’t get behind industrial

so I broke ground on our facility to

reach out there he’s like oh shit this

guy knows how to properly you know

monetize this crop and he seen that so

he jumps in front of comers and I’m

gonna have compensated companion bill

I’m gonna lead the way and he did and he

used me as an example of why he was

doing it and what we were doing King’s

row biotech okay

and so when all this stuff was going

down corner he’s got you know

he’s Kentucky guy right so you know

character statesman or the one stealing

my shit right right so you think not

that I expected him to give a shit

because I don’t really have high

expectations for him from what we do you

think that’s connected though he saw you

now being able to make something that’s

profitable and then all of a sudden your

shit goes missing well yeah and my

technology – okay so they hijacked

everything look I was only guy in the

world that had this technology but when

I went to Kentucky all of a sudden they

steal my technology they steal my my my

crops and then all of a sudden you know

I’ll fucking go away the wayside you

often hoping you save hair happy that

you made it out alive but you’re not

gonna just sit there and be happy

yeah okay you with the highest on in the

the cause is a common ball to Kentucky

is to be honored as Kentucky kernel okay

so I received this award okay so this by

the governor in the Secretary of State

and then I also get honored and they

give me Admiral C to make me Admiral

okay so they think these two things is

enough for me but I don’t want titles

come on

you know I went to school you might say

don’t care about titles I care about you

know making a difference bringing

manufacturing back to the United States

curing cancer making nice clothes out of

hand things like that and that’s that

all your wards if I’m gonna do nothing

for me so all sudden it gave me the

highest honors all right and then when

they still everything now I’m now

getting back to the truck I report this

to everybody okay

now I’m asking for the damn report okay

and then I’ll simply the guys wouldn’t

give me the report to Kentucky guys

detective Kang the guy okay so what ends

up happening is and I’m already talking

to the FBI you can suck it to shit about

shit because you guys are fucking in

with McConnell right he pays a paycheck

for it he’s the one that did he’s up the

money

omni’s bill was for all the federal

agencies so he just doesn’t make shut

the fuck up right don’t do nothing

obviously that’s August so then yeah so

these guys is not right through the

report that I need to get my hip off

that truck instead you know that’s in

your fucking report is a ten by the way

all you guys are growing marijuana over

there I’m the only one in there

within an hour they have a warrant out

for my arrest right so now I go from

trying to press charges against the

hookers that stole from me all this

material worth hundreds of millions of

dollars okay all I do is write an email

it’s on that the state grows marijuana

and I’ll knowing that goes industrial

him and you guys that talk to and

whatever and they wasn’t out that had me

invited okay you know weren’t house my

arrest so I’m fucking that he has your

fucking joke right now I don’t give a

shit so yeah these guys fluffy show up

one day at my house machine guns

armored vehicles helicopters snipers on

the roof of my neighbors fucking machine

guns pointed at my house right I can’t

believe that we didn’t see that on the

news anywhere like they didn’t I’ve been

looking for it I haven’t seen it any

nobody covered this nobody comes in

because they don’t want that she comes

but you know if I if I was getting

arrested gonna add roaches in my a

string they did that they were done you

know I’m sorry I didn’t mean to

interrupt it’s just like I like to point

that out because like some people still

think that the media will actually tell

the truth for them there’s no such thing

I mean these guys are pulled apart you

know they only pumped what they want you

to hear into society there’s no free

journalist you know what anything : oh

yeah bring sweet things they don’t

want you to see they just don’t get

there for you to get yeah you’re not

luck they’re not allowed push it in

society worse in China in America I mean

I even tried to talk to them after I got

out cuz this is what happen in fucking

arrest right and I was smoking a joint

where I am kind of about right now and I

saw it and Mussina does walk out with my

hands up thank God they didn’t shoot you

Jesus I know he’s not a black or a dog

so yeah so they got to uh loudspeaker

this is the US Marshals we have a

warrant for Taylor come on with your

hands up so fucking dead right and I

spent five months in fuckin jumpin and

fucking reason and like they put me on

armed and dangerous’ warrant which

Laconia fugitive armed and dangerous

number one I’m not a fugitive I know

someone who commits a crime in one place

and fleet right so fleeing from one

state to another to avoid being cut

never did that and on their own business

although I am a fucking marine I don’t

own a weapon for that exact reason

because I’m smart guy

all we see the guys in get in trouble is

the marine and he fucked gun there are

vets these days it looks like you see if

that with the gun that there on the news

you can promise me somebody red flagged

him and now he’s doing rescue warriors

one of those people I mean he’s a former

military yeah

so in a special Force Marine so the

thing is is I know these motherfuckers

doing you know fucking so I’m like okay

I don’t own a gun right now and you need

that because the advances you’re messing

with this stuff is automatic California

federal to is like any time you get

caught with anything like a weapon with

any type of drug automatic fucking two

years right so I’m I’m not screwing

around

liars some guy with some guns right so

and I don’t want to give them a reason

to he’s an ex-marine like you said

ripped like he’s fucking acting crazy I

think that good towels and all kinds of

guns then it makes me look bad if I’m

fucking armored up like a motherfucker

yeah though I got nothing so

they assume he’s a Marine he’s fucking

stack with guns no don’t even hold one

so armed and dangerous

would that did the mean does it make me

fucking at the stands open five months

with no fucking bail because if you’re

armed and dangerous

fuck you don’t get bail okay so they use

all these little things to hold me for

no reason

so anyone won’t extradite you and I need

any court or anything like that during

any of this stuff like they hadn’t

convicted you of anything they’re just

holding your ass no they said we you

know you want to be exercised challenged

extradition get a governor’s morning

right because what I want to what I’m

doing here now is although if instead of

30 days we can extradite me there it’s

gonna be they have up to 90 days now

because the governor had to sign off on

it but what I’m doing there is dragging

the fucking governor of that stadium

down this bullshit you know I mean see

this dumbass motherfucker will fucking

bite right and he does but you know but

he’s getting out soon cuz they swapped

governors like that right after about

out right uh-huh right before I got out

in November December so he didn’t give a

shit so he said I’ll put my name on it

you know but they didn’t do dick there

was no evidence of me doing shit yes

governor signing off on this shit right

so you know that the whole state of

Kentucky was crooked ass motherfucker

and excuse me for cussing why you’re

flying I come so I’m there it’s a fine

paste look and they got a governor’s

work they never extradited me and then

the judge told me earlier in LA in LA

County the fucking worst fucking damn

log well after all of that they didn’t

actually extradite you after smoking

christ almighty this makes me want to

get on a train and go to California and

arrange some sort of protest like right

now she says mr. Taylor this is the

first time I’ve ever seen this being on

bench then they go is for to get it

governor’s war and they don’t even come

get you

I’m very sorry mr. Taylor

fucking ridiculous

I can’t believe that the media won’t

fucking like the mainstream media won’t

pick this up this is look they don’t

want to end up in a box at the end of

the river you know that’s exactly what

it is I’m not fucking you now you see

it’s a perfect example

now you see you don’t even have to fuck

commit a crime to go to jail and not

have fucking bail and you’re stuck in

there oh yeah do that since they passed

the Patriot Act to because they can’t

what all sorts of vague things all over

it now and hold you without bill because

no longer it you know you know like you

were saying you know they even they’re

coming after the highest people in

society now so everyone should be

fucking scared every and everyone in

between from the top to the fucking box

so if I would do Stanford I’m Stanford

educated I’m on fucking marine golden

boy stick out you know they get hammered

it I did everything I’m supposed to

group you like look even though I don’t

you talk about my education or anything

like that because I was already smart

before I went there but the thing is I

want to check those boxes so I could

fucking do I do what I do right so I do

those types of projects right so then

allow me to go but then what I didn’t

you know it’s it’s better yeah I don’t

want to say be not touchable but because

you shouldn’t be touching fucking okay

you’re a good guy he’s not stealing shit

he doing things for the good of

everybody should be untouchable

shouldn’t be able to fuck with you like

they come to these investments and no

fuckin these but they steal my shit and

they turn arrest me because I want I

wanna pilots we should work because they

stole from me they arrest me

the buck I tried to dick I try to get

that report from once and because I

wouldn’t back off they fuckin came after

me fuckin awful like so let me ask you

real quick did you have faith in like

the system prior to this I mean you you

served in the military Special Forces

all that

stuff so yeah are you so I’m painting

the system I have zero now 0:08 in the

system because everyone is dirty okay

everyone that you think the FBI put out

shows you know he seemed doing all this

cool shit doing this dude those

motherfuckers are the corrupt this

motherfuckers around was ICCE AMD then

they’re all corrupt

okay the Department of Justice is fucked

okay

they don’t give a shit about you they

don’t give a shit about me you know shit

about nobody

it’s a person money well yeah I don’t

like the rest of the infrastructure of

our country like our roads oh yeah we

have roads my roads my roads but they’re

all fucking shit everywhere yeah and

that’s basically what the inside of our

country looks like Jews everyone was

bought off now you know I mean it’s just

like I told you you know you like but

you know McConnell he he’s the guy that

put signs on his bill basically that

would that is the budget for federal

government so if he’s like telling the

FBI look you guys want me to cut the

staff by half shut the fuck up and do

what I say that’s the way it really

works right because I saw with the

fucking the FBI get in in Kentucky I’ll

give him everything you know what they

need you to fuck get my shit back and to

fucking get the guys the fuck but you

guys are all cartel right in the cartel

they’re white-collar crimes fucking

cartels are taking about judges and all

kinds of people involved Freddie and so

you know and they got judges signing off

with my fucking morons and ex traditions

and shit like that in the same fucking

judge that that they’re trying to do

shit to me civilly with you know so they

file at five five fucking things against

me in court

you know civilly and I’m the one you

know my companies don’t want I got

stolen from the guy that stole from me

they allowed them to fucking take over

my company and drop the fucking in

litigation against themselves that’s how

fucking corrupt it is if they would

stole my fucking company after this – so

in the end what happened with the him

did it just disappear forever or like is

that still not uh that’s still not

frickin settled or what not so much so

so basically I knew that the Mafia guys

basically stole my shit – because

Italian mafia right the guys called Lee

Lewis gardenscape and uh called that’s a

fucking no where’s my shit you know and

you guys owe me money

he says you know well the landowners

tell us different they say that uh that

if they’re in the that you know we’re

dead only I said you guys already know

machine the contracts when you tried to

buy this from me before and it sells you

now you know look two things I only and

you wanna if you go to buy it you gotta

buy it from me he says okay when we do

deal so what we’ll call it landowners

right now if they say floors we’ll make

you a deal

if not we’ll get out the cane and do a

good old-fashioned Kentucky Kingdom

that’s a boy fuck all

so a phone call and the clips over right

right right back so they must not very

Nance arises no say so what do you ever

take me again motherfucker up came from

Evita

fuck you right and so you know exchange

hang up right so at that time that’s how

I ended up with any him because what

they were doing there

they were fucking process in my shit cuz

they these guys the ones are harvested I

found out right and uh basically so

we’re not when that happened they had

the fucking D like a smashing door now

sudden you can’t finish to leave all the

wet behind that’s what was left and what

they tried to give them okay so that

stuff is the only stuff that’s left now

because what they were doing is trying

to get rid of that evidence because

there’s five strains in that warehouse

tested and I lose five strangers

throwing the two strains and there’s

three hundred and thirty thousand pounds

in there you know and uh thing is is but

but there being five strings that means

it mixed everything up number one and so

what they’re trying to do is because you

get rid of the evidence

so like I said you took over my company

they got a custodian running my

company nouns that he gets to make all

the fucking calls right and so he

basically wants to destroy this bring in

some thousand pounds well if you think

about it like this this guy the largest

grower in the United States of a fucking

America right and they’re funny saying

that’s all that group that’s funny

number one okay number two if that is

the case why is this guy in there trying

to destroy this that’s the largest

fucking grow ever in America okay see

this this small twenty kids

oh that produced the bagging you’re

trying to destroy you much he’s asking

the judge to destroy it because it’s

pumping evidence and have known that

from the beginning because when they

tried to bribe me I had all the shit

tested and found out it’s not it not my

shit some of it is okay only one string

is mine recipe not mine okay and uh so

they know it’s evidence that they give

fucking busted so now they’re so I was

one day away from them destroying it and

I was just I was minutes court clerk

Hannon fucking pages off the fucking

printer to look at the hearings yeah are

you even here she said you handed to him

so hot just stop it Sam but it stops so

so yeah that’s still they’re still

messing with that and so it’s no we just

like hanging from a thread over a pool

of lava yeah it was FBI knew about all

this shit so many boy innocent look once

you guys though I’m just fuckin uh

you’re great right so you guys should

confiscate evidence right and they had

like like two months two months to get

redneck they we’re doing shit because

they don’t want find out does they want

to help them do you know I mean because

you’re not helping don’t do shit matter

fact they let me go to Christian so

acted like they were gonna help but I

needed wooden right so I had to have a

plan and put together just stop it so I

wrote

my own stuff you know so for Court I

need these attorneys this time because

my attorneys charge me over $500,000 I’m

still fucked

they took a buyout from the billionaire

cousins of doing their woman that owns a

– company to the companies that spoke

for me okay yeah wait I’m being told by

other attorneys not to get a fucking

attorney unless you absolutely unless

they’re your friend like if they’re

actually your friend and you know the

resource they stole from you because

it’s a good buy out you know and so it

just sucks man so everything that but so

then I realized I gotta write my own

briefs I gotta do my own motions and

that’s what I’ve been doing lately since

this all I got out of it and I’ve won

last two so and then thank God for this

Kobe virus and that saved me again was

that horrible figure out like for every

dude that’s not like a lawyer like did

you have to let go learn a bunch of shit

or like how can anybody do that can can

we defend anybody anybody can do it

and you know it’s like you know I was a

date a lot of attorneys you know and so

and I don’t know somehow and I’ve always

thinkin girls that either their parents

were high-powered attorneys or they were

you know it just worked out that way

yeah picked up some shit you know and so

yeah I mean but I mean I basically came

down I had asked the clerk what can I do

but I don’t you hire another one ever

again my life

she and she’s the one axe he told me if

I can do this yeah so so good so the

first time and that’s the stuff where

she was getting stuff off the of the

printer and into the judge I mean

Sheriff like these all kinds of crazy

shit right

emails but there was enough stuff where

the judge said that he could see in

between the three of the lines that so

he I did not let this be destroyed right

cuz there was a lot of evidence I submit

but he said they said well next time you

can’t submit it like this you’ll have to

assume it like this has gotta be you

know conforming to certain you know

yeah temple template basically you know

yeah so I said okay no problem so that’s

right the next time

so the first time wasn’t so it was rough

rough rough rough getting in but it

stuck it did the job the next time we’re

done right so you had mentioned that you

had one – can you specify exactly on

what that is okay so they were gonna

fucking destroy my shit right

so the this nothing is that the

Secretary of my company is a former

governor of Kentucky named governor

Julian M Carroll right and so he spoke

on in on the shifting because he still a

state senator he’s the longest running

politician in Kentucky so during his

last election when Attorney General one

okay governorship he’s come behind him

during the inauguration because he’s the

longest weren’t that right so in the

Attorney General knew about this shit –

so he’s crooked as fuck – Andy Beshear

and I know him as well so I sent him

everything needed was shitty before you

even before he was elected and we need

the Attorney General he didn’t sit among

my 23 under no one gave a fuck right so

you could you know they’re all from dr.

Martin Lagonda Carol tells me that he’s

got this report on my him from the

custodian said what sit next to me no

matter of fact overnight that shit to me

all right

overnight it to me I get it you know my

holy shit that fucking game they’re

gonna destroy my shit I’m hours away

from that shit you can destroy it okay

fuck if I didn’t have movin like that

shit fuck they literally saved your

grass he only said to me because you see

how he didn’t send it till I started

asking questions yeah so it was crooked

and so I skin of my teeth I’ll shave it

so that’s one this next one

basically again oh that was in how I

saved the are asked for testing and that

I want to sell because he said he wasn’t

unable to sell and I was able to prove

the custodian number one wasn’t able to

sell it it was alive because I already

had a company out here in California

that wanted to buy it seven million

dollars okay he didn’t he did not even

tell the court that in his final report

so I used all that and so the courts

like okay we see where you’re going with

this guy’s a fuckin liar to basically

very custodian and so all I also need

that proper testing done to see the mold

in the same stranger there the bales

have been swapped out so I test them so

they give me a certain amount of time to

test the bales and have a bona fide is a

sale in place by this next day well I

didn’t help won it by filling place for

the next day but find enough information

to where they couldn’t destroy the

evidence

so it’s put over again so I’m going to

now so so the next one I the win was I

had to tell him like look that’s not my

shit it’s quite fucking strains and

there should only be two and I already

knew that but I’m going to retest it get

it before the court again having to stop

it so I’m one to want to stop it from

when they’re destroyed that day and the

next one when it didn’t have a bona fide

offer because why because I listen most

of shit’s not mine

you know there’s five five season ever

supposed to be too annoying one of those

five is mine so now okay push over and

this coronavirus team came up to so i

got a little bit more time but now we’re

fucking with that but in between i’m

trying to get my company back to because

he made all these allegations against me

was hearing but they tried to kill me in

back in may in 2018 after they kill you

fucking flat out okay do you mind

explaining that hahaha what happened so

good kentucky derby and so the guy who’s

driving me

okay does remember the former governor

of Kentucky Julian Carroll the he still

be

please escorts to the dirt right and uh

and so basically even one I had the

tickets for from forget uh I got a table

at 8:00 on millionaire row ok sixth

floor and then cuz governor Carol he’s

the one to put the sixth floor on

Churchill Downs that’s how this guy

built everything these were the best

governors they’re at and then uh so

basically eight seats up there put the

table mate and then I got a box o six on

the fourth right covered governors right

so so we get it we get to please do

drivers right so I’m a girl

the name with me and that’s Governor

General Meeting and that is driving

these are Kentucky State Police but he’s

in charge of Internal Affairs right so

as we leave Kentucky Derby we’re gonna

stop or stop over at you know Colonel

Sanders right never know this guy

through the original Colonel Sanders

though the commissioners daughter but

it’s an actual restaurant right next

door this is white mansion used to be

famous right so when we get there I told

him back there please fuckin like so you

put this motherfucker in the room right

right he knows because he’s talking to

me asking me find those other guys

Ciotti

cuz he’s being driven by this other cop

it’s Cali

fuck that no rib meows – so uh this is

the thing

so I knew something’s going on because

he’s asking me all these questions

exactly not Scotty and his partners

driving him so they’re trying to get

information so then after the dinner we

go back to the hotel and so that’s where

my old order is from or does live in

Lexington but the Derby is over there in

Louisville there’s no no place to stay

so I’m standing next and uh the the

lawyer hates me things that most high

partner is a top him lobbyist in America

also that charges me in paint Brown

table which I used to be the director

the directors but I resigned I said

there’s nothing more than a fucking drug

cartel yeah quit I don’t want to be this

because I I believe in a free market I

don’t believe in fixing prices and

controlling it with just a few people

right so that’s what I don’t like so so

I’m staying in Lexington now and then

I’ll book sleep but I see when one eye

open remembering I don’t want to die yet

right yeah so yeah I hate this shit door

knob oh shit it’s a mine

yeah fuck these motherfuckers got a key

right it’s like 247 in the morning right

so of course I pop out there pain comes

in my latex glove and for poverty switch

from fucking someone fucking kick the

fucking door shut you got handing out

this new partner crazy shit man

okay we’re fucking done so I’ll call it

yeah I call it causing here right and uh

a fucking hotel down three hours later

on 5 min the morning I said yeah we got

the guy that’s not even that’s not the

color the gloves he I don’t need it

that’s it you know a set of clipboard so

and I grab the clipboard but see the X

by my room right fucks his escorts on

anyone else’s fucking room because I

think what they did is grab somebody

gave him the clipboard and fucking they

said be this guy but this is no Hayden I

know what’s going on and then he said ah

so what you go out to the third floor I

said look security I want to know every

fucking room that that key access is a

master key sorry we can’t give the

information this is after all so they

had three hours prepared what they’re

gonna say and not new for me right so

when you sit for me crazy shit oh wow

yeah so I’m never going back right there

quartus ii don’t kill me

sounds like you’ve had a wild ride that

is for sure it is you know and I’ve lost

everything to everything from all almost

my kids college tuition every I’ll put

into it you know do you have any way

that people can help you like do you

have any like I don’t know fun set up or

any like accounts people can use to

spread information or anything like that

yeah you could look at uh you know when

I was in jail they said of a GoFundMe

page because they you know just because

of the could beat about what happened

you know yeah and that’s all if you send

that link to us man this is intense like

um I was gonna ask oh shoot

alright Mike get your brain back

together you know what you’re gonna say

I was gonna ask about the there was what

there was only like you know I said I

was looking through all the news and

everything and I felt like these very

vague things about oh it started oh it’s

big it’s ended the only other thing that

I was able to find in there is like

there’s a couple of clips basically

where they’re like talking about how you

supposedly threatened a governor do you

know about that put any real details in

it it didn’t make any sense to me when I

read the paper because it’s always

trying to make it look and I told me in

well for you and what what’s right

underneath that okay is the an email for

from the US inspector general fuckin say

yeah that they’re gonna investigate

so I told me there’s no no you

threatened him with their own fuckin

system that’s obviously a danger so you

know I fucking shit their fucking lives

didn’t threaten nobody but no one’s life

no nothing the Inspector General said

he’s gonna investigate so they’re fucked

it’s kind of funny that after all of

this stuff the only thing

you see out there really are the mention

of the company and then the mention of

it not being there you’d mean there’s

some stuff about the where y’all break

the ground with the shovels yeah but

like aside from that the only other

thing they have is like a couple of

wisps of hay he threatens this dude and

that’s all there is

tabloid shit it is because I’m not

threatened I’m threatened nobody you can

never would I do that why look I’ve got

a 20 million dollar defamation of

character lawsuit against judge Terry

yeah so they just want to get out from

underneath that or at least they should

be like I mean I I would take away my

you stand up for this sort of thing I

mean this is they have broke every

fucking law Under the Sun because that’s

how fucking good I had them fucked

because I fucking I fucking had

everything going the right way and I

fucking properly notated every fucking

be negative and they should be fucked

they shouldn’t be spending wrestlers in

jail but instead they’re able to take

over my company because I’ll tell you

now when they tried to kill me in Maine

I’m not going back to no fucking courts

right so I don’t just do it dissolution

on my company right so I get a an

affidavit for navigating submitting it

to you reply things but to uh basically

uh answer their call protocol a

complaint okay so that is complaints

everything on it they say the misuse

company funds well this is unless he’s

fucking stupid right because their guy

okay

I only designate one guy to run the bank

I never won such a bank

ever since I saw that Enron shit

attached to that big fuck right so I

don’t want

so I even though this money sorry I

don’t wanna do it so that’s what that’s

is the point and then another thing is

is my lawyers get bought off right then

I knew this was happening so I told them

I said look Luke Morgan is trying to

throw the door throw the hearing and I

told me a month ahead of time so I got

another case going in Lexington against

went and dropped the fucking lawsuit

against themselves so they were able to

take over my company machine guns my

company machinist marshals right god

damn fucking bullshit bro this America

or just fucking Mexico I don’t know I

don’t know I’m hearing some strange

Mexico a geyser the south end of Mexico

where people are actually like running

the government out and the cartels – and

taking their city their challenge back

and stuff so we might actually be worse

than Mexico at this moment and you know

I’m cuss a lot I’m educated well but I

don’t use it like that because you know

in this is your downfall he’s like

because no you’re not nice you don’t

kiss everyone’s ass but you know the

only thing I got left

how I talk you know who I am well

everyone want to take everything from me

and even who I am so I’m sorry if people

don’t like me become like us because I’m

not you know when the call is acceptable

to the communities a little fuck you

know because I’m me I want to be me I

don’t wanna change for this fucking girl

here put that girl in there because this

makes me think

take they’d already took and everything

else for me fuck you now you want to

take all what fucking talk away

take water drink away with a smoke away

fuck that shit

use only think things I got it so

apologize you think I’m not educated

because it cost but it means degree

oh yeah I don’t yeah we go cause in the

end game I just have a quick question

what did you go to Stanford for

structural engineering so I think I

think we’ll talk about like how you got

into like camp and weed on the net in

the next video I think that’d be

interested people like more about your

process and everything despite the fact

that they are digging you over and maybe

do some like updates and see what’s

going on and shit right now we’re

writing the motion to get my company

back that hold true they should have and

to kick out this custodian and then

bring my company back what are you

feeling about that like is that

something that’s a big tall order or is

it something that you think you got you

got well I think I got it you know I

think I got this you know because thing

is this judge he’s the spot because not

only did he allow these guys because

another thing what they did is when they

bribed me that filed a lawsuit against

me and my company and then they came to

me and said look we drop the lawsuit is

you own your company but here is the

entire 2018 crop that’s the bribe and

figured since they put the pressure on

me they had a lawsuit against me and

then against my company said to give me

this they say hey here take this and go

away that would take I’m not a bitch

alright I’m not doing it okay because I

I have things I want to do the company

is set up properly to do all these nice

things for America and to also be a

standard in the hip industry my company

for all the other companies to adhere to

because we do not under report we do not

steal not all the bad shit we don’t do

right that’s why they don’t like because

they figure they can’t get rich from

from doing the right thing but you know

what there’s so much the profit margins

are so big I don’t mind to pay the tax

because there’s still a lot of money

left over you could help a lot of people

everyone if every fuckin corporate

officer or head of a company thought

this way fuck America could be a great

place for this but nobody does everyone

want to fuckin siphon all the money out

of the companies so the guys that even

drink on they’ve got a lot of my hair

okay

they claim bankruptcy this year they

went from like I was biggest they they

were down the biggest after me no way

they could have been because they grew

300 fuckin acres a year before

did you I’m wondering because they find

out on my fucking third party used

artisan fucking guys fuck what they say

what they think

fuck you Maddie you that’s the CEO of

fucking fucking charge everything have

people working for and then they fucking

clean bankruptcy so no one could collect

nothing what a bunch of fucking bitches

all right that’s not the first time I’ve

heard of that before

that’s something that I’ve heard about a

lot of different kinds of companies

doing and if you can’t look my companies

still not bankrupt they stole everything

from my company I’m not favorite that

guy ended up with a lot of my shit and

he found bankruptcy and so a bunch of

other ones damp industry tell you right

there doing shit right well I mean

that’s what Mike and I are always

screaming about like you know we’re very

Pro free market

capitalism things of that nature but

there’s a huge difference between

free-market capitalism and crony

capitalism there’s so many fucking

corrupt people in these corporate

positions that are fucking over

everybody just to make an extra dollar

and that’s not what it’s supposed to be

about it’s supposed to be like what

you’re doing and giving back to the

communities and stuff that’s what’s

supposed to be about you give a back a

fuck ton and still live super

comfortably I would imagine yes I’m give

away the chance of cheering drugs just

needs for cancer patients I give it away

okay

threat to the way that they do things if

people saw other people doing those

things they’d be like why are you not

doing these things and then there would

be boycotts and people screaming and

they would have to do things like paper

straws right right so they always I mean

is always growing up and even when I’m

into my doors one person cannot make a

difference and I was like fuck that I

always thought no way one person can’t

make guns and they almost stopped me

think they almost got me thinking that

way again that I couldn’t because when

after I’m telling you Dan was broke me

as a motherfucker man

after that spent in LA County when they

put me in there with the fucking rapists

and murderers and everything i team up

with some fucking bad guys in there

right just to stay alive okay

and I almost thought to myself I didn’t

always think to myself I thought to

myself fuck that everyone’s right one

fucking motherfucker cannot make a

difference the King King King but then

you know I got out and I started getting

a little traction again but you know

what fuck they don’t let don’t think

that work because one man can we can’t

make the difference you’ve gotta keep

pushing on or else look look at you

November, 2017. Age 25. Giving Back.

Only about half of them were paying attention. Two boys in the back were giggling at something under the desk, one girl had her head down, then the rest of the other half were staring blankly into space. “I’m going to talk about achieving a natural high,” I said to 19 middle schoolers. Saying the word high got their attention, especially the boys in the back.

“Who can tell me the difference between a natural high and an artificial high?” I asked the students. A few moments passed then a shy hand raised, “Yes?”

“Umm...like a natural high is from a natural drug and an artificial high is from something made in a factory or a laboratory,” the red haired kid answered bravely.

“Mmmm, not quite. You’re partially right though! That’s a great thought that an artificial high comes from a mind altering substance, but it doesn’t have to be made by man. An artificial high can come from plants too. Marijuana is natural isn’t it?”

“Well, there’s like, fake marijuana,” a boy in the back chimed in, now engaged in the conversation. The kids nodded their heads. 

“Correct, there’re drugs that are meant to mimic the psychedelic effects of marijuana, but whether it’s created synthetically or not, an artificial high is using a substance to alter your mind, typically either smoking, eating, or drinking it. But what about natural highs? Who can tell me how to achieve a natural high?”

The kids were quiet. 

“Who here likes to ski?”

About half of the students raised their hands. 

“Snowboard!” said the blonde boy in the back.

“Snowboarding counts too.”

A few more kids raised their hands and joined their snow sport loving compatriots.

“What about sledding?” another girl chimed in.

“Ok, how about this,” I replied, “raise your hand if you like to slide on snow on either skis or a snowboard, or a sled.”

Upon asking this question, most of the students in the class had their hand up.

“Perfect, now someone tell me how you feel when you ski. Or snowboard. Or sled.”

“I get STOKED!” exclaimed the snowboarding blonde boy.

“It feels pretty good, huh? What are you thinking about when you snowboard, dude?” I could see his excitement just thinking about snowboarding.

“I don’t know, I just think about the mountains and the snow and how fast I’m going,” he paused, then spoke quickly “Oh, and when I’m in the park I’m always thinking about what my next trick is going to be.”

“Do you worry about school a whole lot when you board?”

“Never, it’s the last thing on my mind.”

“So do you tend to worry about anything really when you’re out there?”

“I mean, besides things that have to do with snowboarding, not really.”

“Interesting,” I turned my attention back to the entire class, “why do people drink? Or smoke weed?”

Answers started blurting out from across the room.

“To feel good!” one kid yells.

“But doesn’t snowboarding feel good?” I asked the student I was previously speaking with. He shrugged and nodded his head in agreement.

“Alright so that’s one goal that people try to achieve with artificial highs that we could also do with natural highs....what else?”

The skinny kid wearing all black near the front spoke up satirically, “to forget about all my problems”, he said with a twinge of realism.

“Hm, fair,” I replied, “but remember what he was saying,” I continued, pointing out the snowboarder, “about how he doesn’t worry about day to day problems when he’s boarding?”

He raised his eyebrows and cocked his head in a “I guess so” kind of movement. 

“I want you guys to know how great I think you are. Every one of you,” I saw a few cracked smiled as I continued, “I mean, you’re all amazing! There’s not a single person in this room that doesn’t have phenomenal talents, which is why I want you guys to brag about them. What do you do that gets you high naturally? Skiing? Playing guitar? Drawing? Cooking? This is our next project. You get to come in and brag to your classmates about what gets you high naturally and how great you are at it. It’s a show and tell. You can show us a video, play us a song on your guitar, cook us your specialty, anything you want. I want you to show us why you don’t need artificial highs.”

The kids began chattering to each other about what they wanted to do for their show and tell.

“So,” I reintroduced them back into the discussion, “drinking is something that people do. So is smoking cannabis. It’s legal and if you’re 21 years old or older, you can buy it in the stores and consume it. Does that mean it’s a good thing to do a lot?”

The class responded with a few different versions of “no”. 

“When is it ok to drink?” I asked, daring them to step out of their comfort zone of the 90’s based “Say No To Drugs Always” propaganda.

“My mom likes to drink wine with her friends. But she only drinks a little bit.”

“Great example,” I praised her, “it sounds like she drinks in moderation. Is there anyone here who celebrates a religious holiday that involves alcohol?”

One boy raised his hand. I asked him, “Do you celebrate Passover?”

“Yeah, the adults drink wine as we read through the story of Passover at certain times.”

“Another great example of when it’s ok to use alcohol,” I said. You see guys, cannabis, alcohol...these are things that are a big part of our culture. But you guys are way too awesome to waste your talents on abusing them. So next week we’ll be in the computer lab working on our presentations. The rubrics are on Google Classroom, I uploaded them during lunch just now. Then on Friday, we’re having our show and tell. I’m so excited to see what gets you guys stoked.

-----------

I spoke to my mom on the way to my delivery job after school. Even though I was working full time as a teacher, I kept my evening delivery job. I had so much energy and I didn’t dare squander it. I’ve always been a busy bee and not utilizing my obsessive motivation to work, no matter the position, simply was not an option.

I am a humble man. I always have been. I don’t strive for riches. I don’t strive for power. I strive for connection. I strive for love.

My incessant work ethic mixed with my humble belonging has guided me to the position I found myself, lifting weights in the mornings to pump me up, teaching at a high school in the Rocky Mountains during the day to fill my heart, delivering food at night to keep my mind at bay and end the day on a relaxing note. This dichotomy of work led to a greater understanding of relativity and a deeper sense of self. I explained on the phone to my mom;

“I make more money when I deliver pizzas, but not much more. Maybe $10 an hour more.”

“But is $10 an hour worth not giving your everything?”

“What do you mean?”

“You have so much to give, honey. Frankly, anyone can deliver pizzas and make $25 an hour, you have so much talent to give. So much love. At the end of the day would you rather have a full heart or a slightly fuller wallet, which only might make you happier later?

“I mean, I want to make a difference, which is why I only deliver at night and put my priority on teaching.”

“I would love for you to keep putting priority on teaching. Say you won the lottery...”

“I would never play the lottery.” I said indignantly,

“Say I bought you a lottery ticket and you won. You never need to work for money again. I know you like to deliver pizzas, it’s relaxing for you, but pretend you don’t need money any more. Would you want spend your life delivering pizzas or doing what fills your heart?”

“I’d probably ski all the time.”

“You love to work though. You’ll never stop working, I know this about you. So if you won the lottery, would you rather hang out in your car delivering pizzas, or do something like...I don’t know...teach people how to ski?!”

6 Marijuana myths: The Truth Exposed By: LavenderSasquatch

6 Marijuana Myths

When you think weed, you automatically think of the stereotypical stoner . The dude who chills in his grandma’s basement, smoking out of a dirty-ass bong. Wearing his typical stoner clothes with dreadlocks. Eating cheetos in his dirty beanbag chair getting high 24/7 with his stoner buddies. Has no job, car , ambition , or goals.  He sells dime bags out of grannies basement to get by.

Let me be the first to tell you , that’s completely false. Everyday, successful people use cannabis and 99% of the time you’d have no idea. There are so many misconceptions and stereotypes surrounding cannabis and cannabis consumers. I reached out to the Instagram cannabis community and compiled a list of “stoner myths” to debunk for you groovy humans today.

TOP 6 MARIJUANA MYTHS DEBUNKED

Marijuana Myth 1: All Stoners are LAZY

I’m trying not to laugh hysterically at that. I am NOT lazy. I farm and am a single parent caring for a tiny human, 20 rabbits and a sassy quail daily. Also I grow and operate a small vegetable stand in the summer months. I’m busy most days, all day.  Many people you encounter on a daily basis consume weed either medically or recreationally daily. The barista who made your morning coffee, your co-worker, the repair man who fixed that annoying grinding noise your washer was making and so on. Point is, cannabis users are NOT lazy. Some may be useless as tits on a hen but it’s not the cannabis making them that way.

Marijuana Myth 2:  We are all burnouts or “stupid”

I blame the media for this. Don’t get me wrong, I love watching Cheech & Chong, The TrailerPark Boys, and other stoner shows but they give such  a bad rep to us all.

NO, we don’t lose our cars or get lost on the way to fast food joints. We don’t get high 24/7, eating snacks and laughing like unsupervised gremlins who got into the shroom stash, A lot of cannabis users are successful people , for example:

Bill Gates

The Beatles

Drake

Ben & Jerry – Would unmotivated stoners be able to build an ice cream empire? I think not !

via GIPHY

Myth 3: You can’t overdose on cannabis

Well you can do a certain degree “overdose” but its non lethal. You are NOT going to die, I promise. Side effects of overconsumption of weed products is anxiety, paranoia, dizziness, sometimes vomiting and coordination issues. This unpleasant sensation will pass. You can counteract a too intense high by remaining calm, drinking water or orange juice and staying hydrated. Taking a shower or getting outside for fresh air is another good way to help calm your nerves. You can also use CBD to help bring your high down. I gave my friend recently a 90mg of THC edible, It was getting too intense for him. So we counteracted it with 40mg of CBD and he was totally fine after that. You can TRY to overdose on cannabis but you’ll fall asleep before you achieve that, it’s physically impossible to do so.

Myth 4: CBD gets you high

Marijuana myth 4 is FALSE. THC is the molecular component of the cannabis plant that gives you the psychoactive high. CBD is the component of the plant that has a ton of health benefits, such as pain relief, helps with anxiety and depression, and so many other health issues. My dear friend Pickles Osrisis wrote an amazing article about CBD that can be found here. 

I really believe if more people gave CBD a chance, they’d be amazed with how beneficial it can be.

Myth 5:  Cannabis is a gateway drug

FALSE.

There are new studies being done in Canada showing how people with severe drug addictions are turning to cannabis and it’s working to stop their addiction! Research is also suggesting that we can help combat the opioid crisis with cannabis as a replacement for prescription pain medicine, cannabis is proving to be an exit drug!

I’ve never once smoked a joint and thought, “Damn, I’m not high enough, let’s do some cocaine off the dirty coffee table.”

Marijuana myth 5 debunked!

Marijuana Myth 6: Weed is only about getting high. It has no medical benefits

That’s funny. You are a funny person if you believe that statement. I’m just going to assume you live under a rock and think smoking cigarettes is considered “healthy” still.

The medical research behind cannabis for medical use is astounding!  Did you know over 30 countries have legalized medical cannabis? Weed can help treat and help an assortment of illnesses and diseases such as epilepsy, cancer, MS, anxiety/depression, and fibromyalgia.

Medical cannabis has been legal in Canada since July 30, 2001. We are such a progressive nation. I’m super grateful to live in a country that recognizes cannabis as a medicine.

via GIPHY

Conclusion

There are many more marijuana myths, taboos and outright ridiculousness I could go on about but I’ll save that for another time. Cannabis is a magical plant where the benefits outweigh the negative. When used responsibly, cannabis is such a great tool to combat so many ailments, or just to relax and get a good night’s sleep. Cannabis won’t make you violent, there’s no hangover, and you don’t have to worry about calling your ex up at 3am crying. You’re more likely to be up at 3am looking for snacks because you passed out early.

Remember to start slow and go with the flow when starting your cannabis journey. Stay groovy.

There are many more marijuana myths, taboos and outright ridiculousness I could go on about but I’ll save that for another time. Cannabis is a magical plant where the benefits outweigh the negative. When used responsibly, cannabis is such a great tool to combat so many ailments, or just to relax and get a good night’s sleep. Cannabis won’t make you violent, there’s no hangover, and you don’t have to worry about calling your ex up at 3am crying. You’re more likely to be up at 3am looking for snacks because you passed out early.

Remember to start slow and go with the flow when starting your cannabis journey. Stay groovy.
