A limited federal hemp CBD and THC reimbursement program just launched, and anti-marijuana groups are already in court trying to block it. The fight is about access, federal authority and who gets to decide whether cannabinoids belong in patient care. For all the noise around cannabis in Washington, this is one of the more interesting things the federal government has done in a while, and it happened with surprisingly little fanfare. On April 1, a new federal program quietly began allowing certain participating care models to furnish up to $500 a year in eligible hemp-derived products for approved patients. The…

First published by Random House in 2003, Ghetto Celebrity is not a standard memoir and never really tried to be. Donnell Alexander traces the book back to Tupac Shakur’s death, an LA Weekly story about his absent father, and a writing process shaped by weed, pop culture, race, Midwestern Black life and the kind of voice that either grabs you immediately or sends you running. More than two decades later, the book returnsDonnell Alexander did not arrive at Ghetto Celebrity the normal way, and that is part of the point.

The legal international cannabis industry is expanding at a significant rate, with Germany serving as ground zero for global expansion. The European country is the top destination for medical cannabis product exports from other countries, having received over 201 tonnes of cannabis products from abroad in just the 2025 calendar year alone. Germany’s legal medical cannabis patient base continues to experience exponential growth year after year, and medical product import totals are reflective of increasing demand. One of Germany’s top medical cannabis companies is Sanity Group. The German-based company recently made international headlines after it announced that it is being…
There’s a new kind of cannabis brand emerging—one that doesn’t lean on tired stereotypes or nostalgia to sell you a dream. It’s sharper than that. More intentional. Built for people who don’t just smoke weed—they do something with it. Hypno Seeds is stepping into that space with a clear point of view: cannabis isn’t about checking out. It’s about tuning in. Creativity, focus, discipline, obsession—this is the energy they’re chasing, and the audience they’re building for. The brand arrives at a moment when cannabis culture is quietly shifting. The old caricature of the couch-locked stoner doesn’t hold up anymore. Today’s…

The first installment of a new High Times x Beard Bros x Ganja Traveler series heads to Trinity County, the overlooked edge of the Emerald Triangle where cannabis still feels rooted in land, culture, and connoisseur craft. If you only know the Emerald Triangle through Humboldt and Mendocino, Trinity County can feel like the chapter people keep forgetting to read. That is part of its appeal. More rugged, less mythologized, and still deeply tied to the plant, Trinity offers a different kind of Northern California cannabis story. It is not the loudest county in the conversation, but it may be…
Dispatches from the soft underbelly of being high. I cry more often than I’d like to admit when I’m stoned, which is inconvenient because I’m stoned more often than I’d like to admit. There’s no heaving, bumbling, or swelling movie score. It’s quieter than that. A small internal weather event. The air shifts. Gravity turns hostile. Music starts it most nights. It’s treacherous. It sneaks past the bouncers. I’ll be fine—functional, sarcastic, engaged—then a melody hooks something behind my sternum and pulls the string. A harmony leans too hard on a raw nerve it doesn’t know it’s touching. And suddenly…
Produced with Matca Films, the new High Times Travel Series opens with two very different stops: a discreet cannabis club culture shaped by island rhythm and neighborhood respect in Mallorca, and a fast-growing medical cannabis infrastructure boom just outside Lisbon. High Times has a new travel series on YouTube, and the smart thing about it is that it does not treat cannabis culture like a souvenir. Produced with Matca Films, the High Times Travel Series is starting from a simple but useful premise: if you really want to understand cannabis somewhere, you have to look beyond the laws and the…
Directed by JT Barnett, the new High Times series Texas Cannabis Chronicles opens inside one of the fastest-moving and most politically contested cannabis markets in America, where farmers, veterans, patients and small operators are bracing for a crackdown they say could wipe out an entire industry. The biggest cannabis story in America right now is not happening in California, and High Times is making that case in a loud way. This week, we dropped Episode 1 of Texas Cannabis Chronicles, a new documentary series directed by filmmaker JT Barnett that throws itself straight into one of the most chaotic and…
