The head grower at a 100,000-square-foot facility was getting hammered over flat yields. Investors wanted “efficiency,” the CEO wanted a silver bullet, and everyone wanted a clean story to explain why the numbers would magically go up next quarter. Under that pressure, leadership did what struggling operations often do: they switched nutrients and bought a new fertigation system. Recirc pumps, dosing equipment, touchscreens, the works. It looked like progress, it photographed well, and it sounded like the kind of fix executives love to talk about on calls. Six figures later, the irrigation room was a showroom. Pallets of the old…
Jamaica’s national team has decided that if it’s going to fight for a spot on the road to the 2026 World Cup, it will do so with a strong sense of identity. According to ESPN, the team unveiled its new Adidas jerseys—both the home and away versions—in collaboration with the Bob Marley Foundation, in a move that brings together soccer, culture, and music. The launch is part of a broader collection that includes match apparel, lifestyle clothing, and accessories inspired by the musician’s legacy, created with access to the artist’s visual and wardrobe archives. Jamaica drop their new home and…
Time seems to go by so fast. In reality, it moves no faster—or slower—than ever, but there’s a very specific feeling, distinctive of these times: we are so immersed in routine and the constant repetition of activities that we end up operating on autopilot. Days seem to “fly by” because, by automatically repeating actions, our brain saves energy, compresses our experiences, and reduces the capacity to pay attention to other details. Modern life fosters a contemporary malaise: overstimulation, multitasking, multiple screens at once, and an accelerated pace that diminishes the capacity for mindfulness. Looking back, bam!, “the years condense into…

Woodstock is one of those words that still carries heat. It’s the 1969 festival mythos, the long shadow it cast over American counterculture, and the way cannabis quietly threaded through that era’s music, politics, and refusal to play along. It’s also a real place—Woodstock, New York—where the vibe isn’t a slogan so much as a lived-in current that runs through every record shop, gallery, and mountain road. For over half a century, “Woodstock” has meant something: a moment when peace, love, and music collided with a generation’s refusal to accept the official story about war, freedom, or the plant that…
This piece is, first and foremost, a tribute to Bob Weir, and to a life spent creating, persisting, and refusing stasis. It reflects on the influence of an artist whose impact was not confined to charts, movements, or moments, but unfolded over decades through presence, continuity, and an uncommon willingness to keep going. Weir’s work, approach, and longevity shaped not only a musical lineage but a way of participating in culture that favored openness over control and evolution over preservation. Viewed through that lens, the story also traces the evolution of cannabis from informal social practice to regulated commercial enterprise,…

And 8th Iron is already teed up. Golf has always been a slow-burn sport. Long walks. Long pauses. Long conversations stretching from the first tee to the final putt. It’s a game built on rhythm and temperament, where one bad swing can hijack the next five holes if you let your head spiral. That’s exactly why cannabis has been quietly riding shotgun in carts for years, even when plenty of clubs still treat it like a dirty secret. Not everyone is chasing a party round. A lot of golfers are chasing calm: looser shoulders, fewer swing thoughts, more patience when…

This article originally appeared on the High Adam newsletter. Subscribe here. After the plant’s inclusion in the 234-year-old publication’s planting and gardening guide caused a bit of a buzz last month, editor-in-chief Carol Connare helped put it in perspective. The Old Farmer’s Almanac garnered some serious attention on canna-centric social media last month when it was noticed that the devil’s lettuce had been added to the OFA’s online Planting and Gardening Guide for the first time — listed right there between candytuft and cantaloupes. “That quiet inclusion,” wrote Beard Bros Media, “marks a cultural milestone — and one that reflects…
