POCA POLICÍA, MUCHA DIVERSIÓN EN EL FREEDOM RALLY

Written by IÑAKI ESTÍVALIZ Posted September 23, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Talking Joints Memo

Como una pandemia de mandrágoras de los históricos ahorcados, bajo los árboles, cubriendo las colinas y las explanadas del Common, como una manta cannábica sobre la yerba del parque, miles de jóvenes y adultos fumaban marihuana en porros, pinchos, vaporizadores, pipas y toda clase de parafernalia.

BLUE CRACK: WHAT’S IN A STRAIN NAME (BESIDES INSENSITIVITY AND PERHAPS ACCURACY)?

Written by CITIZEN STRAIN Posted August 25, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Talking Joints Memo

Blue Crack should be a go-to for everyday workers and artists alike. That’s my primary reason for writing this, though I’m also hoping to spur some discussion about the name.
