Raison d'Existence

The other day I was at Borders, looking through their magazines for something to peruse. In between the Art and hobby sections, I noticed several magazines devoted to cannabis, including the infamous High Times.

I had been smoking marijuana for a while up to this point. Marijuana was my hobby, at the time I was very much interested in genetic and different strains and sophisticated glass. I had heard of High Times before, and even one afternoon I went to their website to check it out. I was instantly repulsed by the terrible chaotic layout, ridiculous amounts of ads, and dumb comments left by users on the news stories. I didn't think about High Times again till I began flipping through the issues I spotted in Borders that day...

Girls in bikinis holding bongs, or covered in pounds of weed. Ugly ads on every page. Terribly written articles.

Is this really what people who smoke pot are interested in?

I don't think so. I see indicators like New York City's Cartoon Network. They catered to mostly to white collar workers on wall street that liked the idea of a discreet delivery service. If the show Weeds is to believed, thousands of middle-aged, white collar workers with homes and cars smoke weed, in addition to the thousand of intelligent college students who partake every day.

This site is my response to this discrepancy between mostly immature cannabis literature out there and a large segment of marijuana users today. I will make an effort to focus on the connoisseurism of cannabis, and things that might be supplanted with cannabis.

Besides the legal difference, there is no reason cannabis should not be taken less seriously than wine or cigars or cheese.
