A single stoner can stand in for all stoners. Within an environment centered around education, science, data, and health—that is, within a certain formality, thoroughness, and rigor—Weedy Won K is what is commonly known as “comic relief,” a comical flourish that alleviates the “tension” of the plot. For Educannabis, the 420 educational project led by the Mexican Luis Fer Alpha, Weedy Won K serves as an antagonist: “I represent the figure of the stoner, which could be any unseasoned stoner, like that irresponsible dopehead who needs a little educational guidance,” Weedy himself confesses to High Times. The starting point for…
On pleasure, respectability, and the parts of cannabis culture worth protecting. The other night I got high with a few friends. Not to unlock my third eye, crush a deadline, or biohack my nervous system into a state of tantric productivity. We weren’t chasing enlightenment or insight or growth. We just wanted to laugh. To unwind. To play DnD and stop carrying the day around like a sack of wet concrete. We sat around my living room passing a joint built like a power forward and talking about absolutely nothing of consequence—the kind of conversation that floats, drifts, wanders, and…
“I didn’t have many dreams set in stone, but smoking a joint with Wiz was one of them,” tweeted Duki, Argentina’s biggest rap export, after an unforgettable night at the Sauce Boyz Fest in Puerto Rico. For Duki, this wasn’t just another festival—it was the night one of his wildest dreams came true: sharing a joint with Wiz Khalifa, hip-hop and cannabis icon. Wiz Meets Duki: The Backstory In an interview about the global expansion of his Khalifa Kush brand, Wiz reflected on meeting Duki during the Sauce Boyz Fest, a massive Latin urban music event helmed by Eladio Carrión.…

No, this isn’t a stoner comedy scene from a Woody Harrelson or Matthew McConaughey movie (or better yet, starring McConaughey’s mom). It’s not a dream, and it’s definitely not an AI-generated clip making the rounds online. It’s a real story, straight from the mouths of the actors themselves, shared on Where Everybody Knows Your Name, the podcast hosted by Harrelson alongside Ted Danson. The show is basically an excuse for longtime friends and Hollywood insiders to sit down, loosen up, and swap stories about their careers, their lives, and the kind of behind-the-scenes moments that don’t usually make it into…

A new interim rule would end automatic firearm denials based on a single instance of marijuana use, aligning federal policy with recent court rulings and growing legal pressure. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has issued an interim final rule that could significantly narrow the federal ban on firearm possession for people who use cannabis or other controlled substances. Under the proposed change, marijuana use would no longer automatically disqualify someone from purchasing or possessing a firearm. Instead, federal authorities would need evidence of regular or compulsive unlawful drug use over an extended period of time to trigger…

T Wagner, Gaetano Lardieri, Nichelle Santos, Jessica Umlauf, Vaughn Wagner At PhilaDelic 2025, the most consequential question was not whether psychedelics can help people. It was whether U.S. healthcare can recognize, reimburse, and safely scale the kind of care these treatments actually require. The molecule is rarely the bottleneck. The bottleneck is coverage: the administrative, financial, and operational machinery that determines what becomes a routine benefit versus a boutique, cash-pay luxury. Picture the moment that would make “psychedelic medicine” real for most people. It is not a headline or a breakthrough trial result. It is a patient—or a burned-out nurse,…
