In early 2020— when I started smoking weed again during quarantine — I bought cannabis stocks: Aurora (ACB), Organigram Holdings (OGI), as well as Curaleaf (CURLF). I recently liquidated the rest of my speculative portfolio, but I kept the weed, and I’m also considering investing in more.
I still remember the first time smoked pot. It’s one of those things that nobody really forgets. I fondly look back at the conversation I had with my friend years ago about kaboosh being a word (I’m still not sure if it is). When I got home my mom yelled at me, but…
I don’t think (most) straight men are bad. As a woman who dates them, they require careful observation and understanding in order for them to make any sort of sense. I haven’t completely figured out how straight males operate yet, but I think I’m pretty close to it.
This isn’t necessarily anything to worry about too much, and most women already know this. …
PayPal co-founder, Peter Thiel, and Kevin O’Leary, Shark Tank’s Mr. Wonderful, are betting heavily on magic mushrooms. Their big plans for the mind altering fungi (and the likes of it) have absolutely nothing to do with raves or festivals, and have more to do with biotech (which isn’t as cool, in my opinion).
ATAI Life Sciences, a “drug development platform” headquartered in Germany, invests in companies that studies and uses psychedelics and other drugs for various health purposes. They raised over $210 million as of January 2021 — a good chunk of which came from Thiel Capital.
Some companies that…
I remember telling my boyfriend, I’d rather buy weed from a dealer instead of the dispensary because it’s more economical.
In retrospect, I think it’s funny how I used the word “economical” in the context of drugs. But it’s true. My reasonings behind it are the same as someone who eats macaroni and cheese every day to buy macaroni and cheese in bulk. If you’re a frequent smoker, it only make sense to buy as much weed as you need and know you’ll smoke at a good, budget-friendly price.
I recently started buying flower that can last me almost a…
Like with a lot of other things in life, being a reseller has its milestones. Not too long ago I made my biggest sale online to date. Individual sales that total well over a grand are few and far between for me, so I was especially ecstatic that I was successfully able to complete this one all by myself.
I sold a beat up handbag from a highly sought after brand’s 2014 collection. In less than 5 hours of posting photos of it on the internet, it sold at a reasonable price of $1800, which included fees and shipping. …
Like millions of other Americans, consuming dairy wreaks havoc in my tummy. Throughout the past few years I’ve hopped on many alternative milk bandwagons, and here are my thoughts on 10 different kinds (yes, all of these do exist and are sold commercially).
Smells strongly icky, so it tastes strongly icky. I would not use this in recipes or even cereal, as it tastes like a hippie breastmilk with an earthy, plant-y aftertaste. The texture is also a bit thicker. The only upside to this milk is its comprehensive nutritional value, otherwise, bleh. …
Tattoos are a subject of fascination to many, some people going as far as skinning it off other people. How would you react if someone asked if you’d like to “give” them your tattoos after you died, to be framed for many more years to come? Here are two people who developed a grisly interest in collecting tattoos during the World War II era.
It’s unclear if Ilse Koch was a born psychopath who used the Holocaust to her advantage, or a fanatical member of the Nazi party. She was given the nickname the ‘Witch of Buchenwald’ for her sadism…
Stonehenge is one of the most well-known prehistoric monuments in the world. In 1915, Cecil Chubb bought it as a birthday present for his wife — instead of the dining set she initially asked for.
Before Cecil Chubb’s ownership, Stonehenge was in the possession of the Antrobus Baronetcy for four generations, beginning with Sir Edmund Antrobus, First Baronet, in 1825. Before that, the past owners, stemming back to King Henry VIII in the 1540s, were dukes and earls.
In 1901, Sir Edmund Antrobus, Fourth Baronet, tried selling Stonehenge to the government for £50,000 (approximately $6.2 million today), but the offer…
What if there is nothing else? All of our beliefs remain beliefs? Nothing could substantiate anything real beyond our tangible world, aside from our mere faith? Are we prepared to be rejected by our own devotion? If we blindly follow certain doctrines it’s only fair to assume that “it” will — or already has — abandon us, even without our knowing?
If it comes to it, would we be ready to relinquish what drove us to this very point in humanity, since at this point it could be the root cause of our suffering?
Could collective faith ever be acceptably…
Whenever I hear aspiring entrepreneurs say that they’ll get into dropshipping for the pure sake of making big money, I immediately tune them out and disregard their ideas. Nothing they say will ever get me to believe that it’s a sustainable long-term business.
Sure, there’s a handful who make an absolute killing dropshipping and they’re pretty shrewd about it. However, these people are few and far between and many don’t last. If you’re looking to make a buck or two by working your ass off to the bone, then by all means go for it. …
