Alex Yeager
Alex Yeager is a California-born cannabis writer who learned the plant before the modern cannabis industry took shape. Raised on the Monterey Peninsula with roots in the pre-helicopter grow days of Big Sur, he’s spent more than a decade covering strains, science, and cannabis politics with a practiced skepticism for hype and official stories. When he’s not making pottery or riding trails, he’s still chasing the same thing — what’s real, what works, and what doesn’t survive scrutiny.

Cannabis vape pens as aerosol systems: temperature, particle size, and delivery efficiency
Cannabis vape pens create aerosols that carry cannabinoids into the lungs. The way those aerosols form shapes how smoothly cannabinoids are absorbed, how efficiently they reach the bloodstream, and how consistent each hit feels. Inside a vape pen, temperature, airflow, and particle size are always...

The evolution of vaporizers
Early cannabis vaporizers (also known as vapes) looked more like DIY science projects than consumer devices. Bulky and imprecise, they often overheated the product instead of delivering a true vapor experience. Over the decades, steady improvements shifted vapes from trial-and-error tools to reliable, user-friendly devices....

The evolution of smoking pipes: from clay to glass
Choosing the right weed pipe comes down to how the material and design affect airflow, heat, and flavor. Glass, metal, and wood pipes each perform differently—shaping whether your hit tastes clean or gets muted before it even reaches you. Most smoking pipes look simple—but the...

Understanding potency in THCA pre-rolls: Stability, storage, and conversion rates
You might see pre-rolls labeled with 28% THCA and assume that number tells you exactly how strong the joint will be. In reality, potency is a little more complicated than that. The THCA percentage on a label reflects the cannabinoids present in the flower before heat is...

How to microdose cannabis
Most cannabis products are built around higher doses. Microdosing takes the opposite approach — and for some consumers, that's exactly the point. Cannabis potency has increased steadily across most markets, but not everyone consuming it wants more. For some consumers and patients, the goal isn't...

Weed vape pens vs smoking: Differences in combustion, flavor, and cannabinoid delivery
Weed vape pens heat cannabis without combustion, while smoking burns it. That difference changes terpene preservation, harshness, efficiency, and how cannabinoids are delivered, even when using the same flower. Smoking and vaping can feel dramatically different, even when you're using the same strain. The reason...
