Today is a victory for stoners everywhere. Thanks to two measures I didn’t even know were on the ballot (probably because I was stoned), recreational marijuana is now legal in the great states of Washington and Colorado. Hooray! And contrary to popular belief (let’s pretend people still believe this), not everyone who smokes weed is a smelly, bloodshot, dreadlocked hippie person. Just take it from these glamorous stoner ladies of Hollywood and beyond. More »

I Smoked Pot With My Parents

I Smoked Pot With My Parents

One summer home from college I went on a trip through Arizona with my parents. It was the first family trip since I had moved away from home, the first trip where we were all adults and the first time I smoked weed with my parents. It was eye opening, and not only in the way being high usually is. More »

Video: Medical Marijuana Beverage

Video: Medical Marijuana Beverage

Full disclosure: I’m not a pot smoker. Not even little bit. Pot renders me completely paranoid and debilitatingly self-conscious, and then I’m that weirdo sitting in the corner curled up against the wall like some 17-year-old in a Cobrasnake photoshoot, glaring mistrustfully at everyone in the room and wondering why they all hate me so much.

The Misanthropologist: Does Getting A Blowjob From A Guy Make You Gay?

The Misanthropologist: Does Getting A Blowjob From A Guy Make You Gay?

Growing up in a sheltered lefty enclave in northern California, I developed a few unusual ideas about life and the universe: 1) if you’re going to jack some of your parents’ weed, ask politely, 2) shopping at farmers’ markets is akin to a great act of humanity and when you walk into Whole Foods, you’re participating in the preservation of the planet and also ending wars and nursing baby animals or some shit and, in all seriousness, 3) being gay is a-okay. It wasn’t until I was shipped off to the cold cruel world of private liberal arts education that I realized not everybody was as comfortable with non-hetero love.

I guess I never thought about sexuality in terms of gay or straight. I kind of always just thought you like who you like and that’s how it goes. I recognize now that this could be perceived as extremely naïve: outside of far left bastions like my home town, there often exist rigid definitions of sexual identity: gay, straight, bi, queer, trans, godless heathen, craven whore, etc. More »
