Got a big trip coming up? If so, you have to make sure you bring all the essentials: clothes, toothbrush, toiletries, medications, and… you know where this is going. We are a cannabis dispensary, after all.

As a cannabis consumer, is it better to enjoy products by smoking or ingesting? Those who regularly partake often find this out through experience. But for anyone who is fresh and cautiously experimenting with cannabis, it may be helpful to gain an insight into the differences between the two forms of consumption.

We’ve all heard those rumors before — “Cannabis is a gateway drug.” Unfortunately, this bit of misinformation has played a big role in scaring people away from what is a very natural and very beneficial plant. There was even a movie released in 1936 called “Reefer Madness” that was essentially propaganda to turn public opinion against cannabis even further.

Looking back throughout American history, it’s clear that for a long time, cannabis was viewed in a negative light. With this in mind, you might expect that perception was even worse closer to the country’s formation. You would probably never imagine that a U.S. president, let alone our very first president, would have condoned cannabis.
