Two new peer-reviewed studies are inviting people to rethink how cannabis interacts with aging, health and everyday behavior. One study reports that older adults with a history of cannabis use perform better on several cognitive tests than non-users.

Taken together, the findings suggest a more nuanced picture than the one painted by decades of scare stories about cannabis and older adults. They also add to a growing body of evidence that…

There’s an argument to be made that people in counter-culture are actually the normal ones—the ones who “keep it real” in a world obsessed with conformity. Naturally, when something real gets too loud or too loved, the corporate world finds a way to cash in on it—both for profit and, sometimes, for sport.420 SlamsNew Era, Same Old Rules Remember when jobs would drug-test for weed but turn a blind eye to addictions to painkillers and alcohol? That kind of hypocrisy defined workplaces—and whole industries—for decades. No company captures that contradiction better than WWE, the wild, glittering circus of professional wrestling.…

Colorado’s Natural Medicine Program is moving from legislation to lived practice, built not by corporations but by the people preparing to guide patients through psychedelic care. Colorado is trying to do something no state has ever succeeded at: create a regulated, statewide psychedelic care system from scratch. Not decriminalization-only. Not theoretical.
