Cannabis content is being policed on websites like YouTube and Instagram forcing some cannabis creators to deal with their accounts being taken down without warning and little explanation. Since the moment I first created my Weedstagram in December of 2018, I have been worried about my account being deleted. Fortunately, I've only had a couple of posts taken off Instagram and I was able to re-post them without any problems. But a platform like Instagram that deletes users with little explanation or recourse leaves creators frustrated.

Once I discovered the WeedTube, I realized that I wanted to start making cannabis content and join the community. It is SO freeing to post my cannabis content on a platform where I'm not worried about getting removed. I really love sitting down and filming a video where I do a fun, marijuana-related challenge and engage with my audience. After all, the community is an important aspect of stoner life and I don't have much of a stoner community in Eugene. Through my videos and Weedstagram, I am developing my own little community of fellow smokers. Whether I'm making new content or watching videos, I finally feel like I've found a community in which I belong.

The WeedTube provides a safe space for cannabis creators to make content without fear of being deleted. The WeedTube also normalizes cannabis usage by showing that people from all walks of life enjoy it. Removing the stigma around marijuana is half the battle, like the lazy stoner stereotype. Personally, I smoke cannabis to help with my anxiety and I'm able to be more productive when I'm stoned because I'm less anxious. Without cannabis, my life would be completely different and I might still be as productive, but I would be incredibly anxious constantly.

My main points in this article are that the WeedTube provides a space for cannabis creators to fully express themselves and the stoner community on the Weedtube is incredibly welcoming and supportive. I am truly honored to be a part of this community and I cannot wait for cannabis usage to be normalized and accepted more on a national level.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
