    Marijuana smokers - what's your favourite strain?

    I used to love Sour Diesel - I could smoke a bowl of that stuff and work for hours straight with no breaks. I rarely see it in dispensaries now, but there are some good hybrids out there. It really just depends what I'm doing. Before the gym or a run, I'd lean towards a sativa dominant strain...

    Do you do a 9-5?

    I do, but also have a few businesses on the side as well. The benefits my job offers me + it being WFH about 80% of the time makes it a very logical choice.

    Growing Too Big Too Fast - Advice for Newcomers

    I nearly killed a profitable business by growing too fast. A few years back, before AI went mainstream, I launched a content writing service. It took off immediately. We saw a few gaps in the market, were able to capitalize, and the work started to roll in. We actually weren’t spending much...
