Now, I know what you're thinking. 125 Broadstreet, cannabis and Mother's Day? Isn't that a little taboo?" But hear me out. As more and more states legalize cannabis for medicinal and recreational use, it's becoming a more widely accepted part of our culture. And what better way to honor our moms than by sharing some laughs and good vibes together?
So, whether you're a seasoned stoner or a curious newbie, here are some ways to celebrate Mother's Day with a little help from the ganja.
First and foremost, let's talk about gift ideas. Sure, you could go the traditional route with flowers and chocolates, but why not mix it up with some cannabis-infused treats? From gummies to brownies to CBD-infused bath bombs, there are endless options for giving Mom the gift of relaxation and bliss.
And speaking of relaxation, let's talk about some fun activities to do with Mom while enjoying some green. For the outdoorsy types, why not take a hike through a scenic park or nature reserve? Just make sure to bring plenty of water and snacks (and, of course, a joint or two).
For a more laid-back option, consider a movie marathon with some snacks and a joint to share. Whether you're into classic comedies or the latest blockbusters, there's nothing better than getting lost in a good film with your favorite person.
Of course, if you're feeling extra adventurous, you could always try your hand at a DIY cannabis-infused recipe. From homemade edibles to infused cocktails, the possibilities are endless. Just make sure to start with a small dose and go slow – we don't want Mom getting too baked.
And if you're not sure where to start, why not consult some of the many cannabis-friendly moms out there? With the rise of social media, more and more moms are openly sharing their love for the plant and advocating for its legalization and destigmatization.
Take, for example, cannabis influencer and mom of two, Jessica González. On her Instagram page @thecannabismom, she shares everything from cannabis-infused recipes to parenting tips to candid stories about her own journey with the plant.
Or, for a more comedic take, there's comedian and actress, Chelsea Handler. In her Netflix documentary series, "Chelsea Does," she explores the world of cannabis and even takes a trip to a dispensary with her mother.
And let's not forget the many celebrities who have openly shared their love for cannabis, including moms like Whoopi Goldberg and Melissa Etheridge. They've all helped to break down the stereotypes and stigma surrounding the plant, making it easier for us all to enjoy without judgment.
So, there you have it – some fun and lighthearted ways to celebrate Mother's Day with a little help from cannabis. Whether you're sharing some laughs over a joint or enjoying a relaxing infused bath together, there's no wrong way to show Mom your love and appreciation.

"Discover the Perfect High: The Best Ways to Enjoy Cannabis"
Greetings, my fellow cannabis enthusiasts!!!
As a seasoned smoker, I've had my fair share of experiences with different apparatuses, and let me tell you, there are some wild ways to get your smoke on. From the classic joint to the high-tech vaporizer, each method offers a unique experience that's sure to elevate your high. So let's take a journey through the wonderful world of cannabis consumption and discover the perfect way for you to enjoy your next smoke sesh.
The Classic Joint/Pre-roll: Rolling up your favorite strain in some rolling paper is a time-honored tradition that's perfect for a quick, easy smoke. Pre-rolls offer the same convenience without the hassle of rolling. Both options offer a balanced, mellow buzz that's perfect for relaxing after a long day. Plus, it's perfect for sharing with friends. Pro tip: add a crutch for a smoother smoke.
The Trusty Bong: If you're looking for a more intense high, the bong is the way to go. This apparatus has been around for just as long as the joint, and it's still one of the most popular ways to enjoy cannabis. Pack the bowl with your favorite strain, fill the chamber with water, and take a rip. The high you get from a bong is intense, to say the least. It hits you fast and hard, and the effects can last for hours. It's like a roller-coaster ride, but for your mind. Pro tip: add ice for a smoother hit.
The Classy Pipe: The pipe is a more sophisticated option for those who want to enjoy cannabis in style. Load up the bowl with your favorite strain, light it up, and take a puff.

Plus, pipes come in all shapes and sizes, so you can find one that fits your aesthetic. Pro tip: keep a pack of pipe cleaners handy for easy maintenance.
The Modern Vaporizer: If you're looking for a healthier way to enjoy cannabis, the vaporizer is a great option. This device heats the cannabis to a temperature that releases the active compounds without burning the plant material. The high you get from a vaporizer is a smooth, uplifting buzz that's perfect for a daytime smoke sesh. Plus, the lack of smoke means you won't smell like a skunk. It's like a gentle hug, but for your soul. Pro tip: clean the vaporizer regularly for optimal performance.
The Edibles: Now, this is where things get interesting. Edibles are a whole other ball game. These tasty treats come in a variety of flavors and potencies, and they can provide a long-lasting, intense high that's perfect for relaxing. Just be careful with the dosage, as edibles can be quite potent. But hey, who doesn't love a little adventure? Pro tip: start with a small dose and wait at least an hour before consuming more.
Dabbing: Last but not least, we have dabbing. This method involves heating a small amount of cannabis concentrate on a heated surface and inhaling the vapor through a glass rig. The high you get from dabbing is intense and immediate. It's like a full-body experience, but for your mind. Just be warned, dabbing can be quite intimidating for newbies. Pro tip: start with a small dab and work your way up.

The Marijuana Tax Act: A Legacy of Greed and Racism
The Act was not solely driven by greed, but it was also influenced by the personal interests of individuals in power. Andrew Mellon, the Secretary of the Treasury at the time, had a significant financial interest in the criminalization of marijuana. Mellon was heavily invested in the DuPont chemical company, which had recently developed a new synthetic fiber, nylon. Nylon posed a threat to the hemp industry, which was a major competitor of DuPont.
The Marijuana Tax Act, passed by the US government in 1937, was marketed as a measure to protect public health and safety, but in reality, it was driven by greed and racism. The Act criminalized the possession and distribution of marijuana, which was primarily associated with Mexican immigrants and black jazz musicians. The proponents of the law capitalized on racist stereotypes to sway public opinion and push the bill through Congress. The Act imposed heavy taxes on marijuana sales, creating a lucrative revenue stream for the government, and allowing it to target and punish those breaking the law. The wealthy white Americans could profit from the prohibition of marijuana by investing in the prison-industrial complex or selling it illegally. The law led to a cycle of poverty and incarceration that persists to this day, disproportionately affecting communities of color.
The Act was not solely driven by greed, but it was also influenced by the personal interests of individuals in power. Andrew Mellon, the Secretary of the Treasury at the time, had a significant financial interest in the criminalization of marijuana. Mellon was heavily invested in the DuPont chemical company, which had recently developed a new synthetic fiber, nylon. Nylon posed a threat to the hemp industry, which was a major competitor of DuPont. Hemp was used to produce a range of products, including paper, textiles, and fuel, and was also a primary source of marijuana. By criminalizing marijuana, Mellon effectively eliminated the competition to nylon and secured a profitable future for DuPont. Henry Anslinger, the Commissioner of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, played a pivotal role in promoting the racist narrative that led to the criminalization of marijuana. Anslinger used his position of power to demonize marijuana and the communities associated with it, primarily Mexicans and African Americans. He claimed that marijuana caused violent and sexual behavior and was a threat to the morality of white America. Anslinger's campaign was supported by the media, which amplified the racist messaging and created a climate of fear and mistrust towards communities of color.
The key players who stood to profit from the Marijuana Tax Act were the politicians and lawmakers who championed it, the law enforcement agencies and private prisons that benefited from its implementation, and the organized crime syndicates and individuals who were able to sell marijuana illegally. All of these groups were motivated by greed and the desire to make a profit, often at the expense of communities of color who were disproportionately targeted and punished for marijuana-related offenses.
Today, as the tide begins to turn towards legalization, it's important to acknowledge the role of individuals like Mellon and Anslinger in the Act's creation, and the damage that has been done as a result of their personal interests and racist beliefs. The Act had a far-reaching and devastating impact on communities of color, leading to poverty and incarceration. While some states have moved to legalize marijuana in recent years, there is still a long way to go to undo the harm that has been inflicted on communities of color. The legalization of marijuana should not only be a matter of economic opportunity, but of social justice. We must work to create a more just and equitable society, one where the harm done by the Marijuana Tax Act can be rectified.
