September Welcome

Guys, it’s September. Do you know what that means? It means we’ve now made it through three-quarters of the year 2020 and the sky has yet to collapse on our heads.  Four months to go, fellow Heads on the Quest. Four months, and we’ll have officially survived the year in which everything happened.

It’s time we start planning for 2021 and with that in mind, we have two suggestions. First, let’s plan on having one of those years where nothing memorable happens—at least on a national level. We could all use the break. Second, let’s all plan on attending the HQ Event and Trade Show, the game changing counter-cultural exposition being put on by yours truly in conjunction with Smoke Shop Events in New Orleans on January 14th and 15th. Why? Well, the short answer is because we’re doing it and you don’t make it two decades in this space by doing things half-assed.

There’s no holiday more prone to mythmaking than Christmas. Across our TVs, stories enshrine ridiculous origins to modern traditions, cartoon characters regularly save the holiday from the forces of grinchdom, and modern love flourishes for career women stuck in small towns. But these yuletide concoctions aren’t merely dessert; they’re flavoring added to medicine. Our stories cover up an uncomfortable truth: many of our holiday traditions stem from pagan revelry that included everything from psychedelics to orgies.
