...never smoked pot in junior high because I was convinced it would shrivel my incipient manhood. This was the 1980s, and those stark this-is-your-brain-on-drugs ads already had me vaguely worried about memory loss and psychosis. But when other boys said pot might affect our southern regions, I was truly terrified. I didn't smoke a joint for the first time until...
...12th grade, about half of young Americans have tried marijuana, which put me in the geeky other half. I used to think this was a good thing, since I never developed a taste for pot and avoided becoming dependent. But as the medical-marijuana movement flowered and weed's p.r. improved, I often wondered if I shouldn't have relished it as a kid, before I had a personal trainer to tsk-tsk my every vice.

...traditional French fare is superb. A meal for two--succulent pigeon de Sologne, excellent fish and a youngish Chateauneuf-du-Pape--costs north of $300.

Another chic place is Syr (Russian for cheese), whose decor suggests the inside of a Swiss cheese and which in spite of that has very good Italian food...

Song says that many patrons who come in asking for green tea are befuddled by Dado’s four premium options: Japanese Green, Korean Green, Oolong Green and Oolong Green with Ginseng. A sit-‘n’-stay pot costs $3, slightly more than Tealuxe’s personal pot, but the high quality makes an extra dime worthwhile. If you come with friends, they’ll each have to pay $1.75 to share the pot (a group of three would pay $6.50). Don’t come...
...Nung (2727 BC) discovered tea when a fortuitous leaf fell into water that his servants were boiling for drinking. All of the different varieties of loose-leaf tea—green, oodong, black, pü ‘erh—come from a single plant, Camellia sinesnis. Each pot of tea at Dado comes with a small booklet with information on tea history and details on how to properly steep a pot...
