Unlike animals, plants don’t have nerve cells. Instead, they hum and pulse on inner electrical signals that link adjacent cells and pass information through their roots and stems. Clearly, plants aren’t passive – they are constantly sensing, thriving, and responding to their surroundings. They’re basically leafy computers with a chlorophyll pulse.

It all started thousands of years ago with a “summer’s end” festival called Samhain. It wasn’t just about saying goodbye to the warm months. It was the Celts’ way of acknowledging the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. Winter was coming, and with it, darkness, cold, and uncertainty. So, on this night, they would light massive bonfires, not just for warmth, but to symbolically burn away the old and invite in the new.

Nature is a galaxy of herbs growing beneath our feet, lining the dead deer ditches on the side of the road, blooming under the bridges of California’s 101 like the sprawl of the Milky Way in a wonderland of biodiversity. There are over 400,000 species of plants and herbs on this Earth – and most of them we know nothing about.

Did you know cornflakes were invented to keep you from masturbating? (Sadly it doesn’t work) Or that music can affect the taste of cheese? (Seriously. A Tribe Called Quest with actually turn up the flavor.) Or that the CIA once tried to bug cats to spy on the Russians? (Your cat is on to you, stoner face slurping that vodka tonic.)

We hate the word “Disposable”. Th fact that we are in a disposable culture where it feels like everything can just be tossed out when it is done is pretty disheartening. Well, we did our best to find a “ready made” vape pen that is also rechargeable and refillable (with a little effort). So, we are wondering if they should no longer be called “Disposable”. Maybe we just need to call them “Ready to Use” Vape pens. Thoughts?

The spirit of the Bear Medicine Totem is the Chieftan of strength and protection. It’s a strong, healing medicine that can guide you through sickness and strife. Bears, in fact, are one of the few animals to use herbs medicinally. Bears are traditionally believed to have supernatural healing abilities, simply because they use nature’s resources like herbal healers and are the only animals, aside from us walking, talking monkeys, known to do so.

Smoke is a part of you, as you are of it. When done with appreciation, smoking herbs should be a spiritual journey, a communion of continuity, where we become connected with the herbs, the Spirit, and the essence of Gaia from whom all herbs are a gift.

Embracing Crow medicine means embarking on a journey of introspection and self-discovery. It urges us to look beyond the physical world and tap into the spiritual realms where our true essence resides.

This totem teaches us that within the darkness lies the potential for great light, and by exploring the depths of our psyche, we can achieve a greater understanding of ourselves and our place in the world.

Stare into the eyes of a preying Praying Mantis: She’ll stare back with the hungry, haunted stillness of a Jazz sax player, hunting that next intergalactic note, the next roller coaster of emotional improvisation, chasing the thirst of music from the thin air of silence, melodies meandering off the edge of meaning into obvious oblivion.

Epitomized in sunlight, Energy captures all things born from the sun – the air, the herbs, the Earth, everything. It’s where we begin, where we end – the spinning elliptical ellipsis along the atoms of everything in between.

Shamanism understands the nature of Energy and how to use it to unlock our inner wisdom like an enlightened Third Eye. Utilizing the medicine of healing, Shamans weave and adjust energy to create higher vibrations that cleanse sickness, awaken minds, ease Karmanic tides.

We all need our downtime, our connection with nature, a time to remember our ethereal purpose to the push of the drive. When relentlessly chasing our dreams, it’s good to remember to stop and make a few dreams along the way. Otherwise, we’ll lose the point of what we’re pursuing in the first place.

Sure, it may sound like a Star Wars character in a Disney reboot, but Ginkgo Biloba has been used for thousands of years as a potent aphrodisiac. This herb is thought to be a cognitive mood enhancer, an effective brain booster, but in the bedroom, it’s whispered to ignite the fires of desire like nudity on a polar bear rug in Superman’s honeymoon suite.

Hygge and mindfulness play the same game, share in the same dream: the joy of basking in the pureness of the moment. Mindfulness is the art of creating space for ourselves and just existing within the presence of Time. It’s being aware of where you are in this exact moment in Time without becoming overly reactive or overwhelmed with expectation. Smoking herbs can be the perfect vehicle, an excuse to pause from the hustle of life. Puff puff give: Sit simply and be one with the smoke and the Be Here Now of your mind.
