Much like the Mercury Sex Survey, our first-ever Weed Survey is ready to hear your secrets! (Don’t worry… they’re safe with us.)
These questions probe the still-secretive world of Portland’s cannabis use (or lack thereof—you don’t need to let the active heads have all the fun), plus it allows you to weigh in on popular nomenclature and dish about your worst marijuana freakouts—anonymously, in case you are still in the cannabis closet (we want to hear about that too). The results will be published to coincide with Legalization Day in July, but we can’t do it without your answers! SO FILL IT OUT NOW! (Filling it out under the influence? Sure, why not? Sounds fun.)

As with most surveys, none of the above ought to be an option. Hippy is a derogatory term, coined by a cynical reporter who hated the Flower Children. We always used to just refer to ourselves as Freaks. Furthermore, I grow outdoors, and smoke most anywhere I want, but still try to keep it cool. Sometimes I grow way more than I can personally consume, and I’m happy to share. Sometimes people exchange gifts of up to five grand per pound. There is no way I would ever smoke with my parents; not because I’m ashamed or afraid, but just because I wouldn’t want them to bring me down.
A recent Harvard medical school study finds that Cannabis ameliorates insulin resistance, so that food tripping on sweets won’t cause Diabetes. Now that grass is legal, consumers can treat themselves with home remedies, without concern over approved conditions for medical permits. In fact, Cannabis might actually be a cure for Diabetes
