Bipolar Question Answered
I swear that CCL has not become a “marijuana blog” …. I didn’t even want to write about this. In fact, it’s felt a lot like coming out all over again, except it’s harder. Because unlike being gay, I actually had internalized stigma attached to cannabis that I had to get over and I get [...]
Medical Marijuana and Bipolar Disorder
OK, so my last few posts have been about my journey starting out with medical marijuana. But this post is a bit less about my “adventures” and more about the medicine.

Take 500 Volts, and Call Me in the Morning…
By Guest Writer, Addison I want you to close your eyes, and imagine that you’re 12-years-old again. Maybe you’ve mentioned to your Mom that a girl in your class is beautiful.

My Medical Adventures

The Urge To Merge
By Guest Writer, E from Sapphic City What does a lesbian bring on a second date? Well, that depends on the lesbian, but its either a moving van or a turkey baster … or so says the stereotype.
