Apparently, the in thing to do nowadays is have a city mascot -- Longview just adopted the squirrel to represent them. So what about getting a mascot for Yakima? I think marijuana should be Yakima's city flower/plant and the mascot should be a coyote! I see more of them than any other animal. I live in the sticks, so they are all over!

I had the opportunity to tour Life Gardens, a legal marijuana farm, the other day. I wasn't sure what to expect. I knew I was about to see an amazing plant, but what I saw makes me happy that I voted for it to be legal. It should have never been illegal.

Girl Scout cookie season is upon us. I buy at least 10 boxes of the purple-box ones. I never remember their names, so I hope that they don't change the color of the box. The girls are out in full force going door-to-door, business to business, getting the cookies out there. So why not set up shop outside of a business that you know will get you a cookie-sale merit badge with the Girl Scouts? Read

I feel like this is the new "Back to the Future" movie where Marty travels back and forth through time fixing old things and learning about new things.

A coloring book for grown-up stoners? Wow, man. Where has this idea been all our lives?

A new Washington state law prohibits open containers of marijuana (similar to open containers of alcohol) starting Sept. 26. I think this is a good idea. What if a child or a dog got into it? Or maybe someone allergic to THC walks up and decides to steal whatever is in your car. They eat the pot or smoke it, then they are dead. I can see this happening, maybe.

Praise God and Mary Jane! How would you like to go to a church that celebrates love, happiness and cannabis? Well, a new church is starting in Indiana called "The First Church of Cannabis!"

While the origins of the term "420" remain murky at best, the fact that there have been dozens of songs written about marijuana is indisputable.

Here's a word to the wise: If you are going to illegally carry 11 grams of marijuana on you in an old sour cream tub, it's best not to label the container "Not Weed."

The Queen Ann Cannabis Club has made a new strain of marijuana with 5 percent more THC than the normal strain of weed. They say that it hits you hard and fast, so I guess it makes sense to name it after Seattle Seahawk running back Marshawn Lynch, who does exactly that.

One of my favorite alternative media sites on the web is BenSwann.com. Earlier this year, I had the chance to interview him on "The Big Show" regarding his "Truth In Media" project, which tries to present stories the mainstream media outlets won't touch or will not devote the requisite amount of time to in order to fact check, research etc. Earlier today, he published a story a

Now this is how you quit a job.
