TWO LIPS by Hoodie Allen wrote this for me. Another one, this Tuesday-Thursday schedule sucks! To be continued, but first… I love to read, Michael Pollan’s “The Botany of Desire” is a wonderful, shorter book! Bees, cannabis, tulips—free your eyes or ears and check it out. History seems to always repeat itself, and we can […]

Living in the new world… for people like me, and people like you. I’ll never drag politics into this letter…. I paraphrased the song that dropped this week by off-grid farmer Oliver Anthony and his dogs. You should listen to it below. It went viral and brings me back to Coal Miners Daughter, it might […]

Richard Branson ABOVE PHOTO OF ELECTRIC FOREST IS AN EXAMPLE OF FUN I’m sorry, I’ve been to so many shitty cannabis events since COVID stopped mattering.
