Notebooks for Stoners, Who Never Forget Anything
Goldleaf Here’s a stereotype about cannabis users that has some real merit: Our short term memories aren’t always great. Start hollering if you want. It’s true, you know I’m right.

Brandon Goldner, the City of Portland’s Cannabis Program Coordinator, Talks About Public Consumption
K. Marie I recently had an enjoyable time at the NW Cannabis Club, one of the only non-residential places in Portland where you canโfor a membership feeโlegally smoke weed.
