Rants, Raves, and Science

Notes From The Farm

Some parts snark, some parts science. We dive into history, cannabis news, technology, trends, and, of course, things that piss us off. We might sound a little pretentious at times—after all, it's just weed—but keep reading; you might be surprised by what you learn. Our crew has been in cannabis for far too long, and some aspects of the industry just need to go away.

Thanks for stopping by. We encourage your comments!
