Grief has a way of hollowing you out. For many, it’s a darkness we try to numb or outrun. But for a growing number of people—myself included—cannabis isn’t about escape. It’s about connection, healing, and learning to live again. After my father passed, I found myself in a fog where life felt unrecognizable. Nothing made sense anymore. But through cannabis, I began to rediscover a sense of peace—not by dulling my pain, but by softening its edges enough to explore what was underneath it. As more people turn to cannabis to process trauma and loss, science is beginning to catch…

There’s a moment, somewhere past the hour mark, when Trinidad James leans back and drops it without drama: “I’m not fighting for my life. I’m fighting for my flow state.” It’s quiet, almost offhand, but it lands like someone who has spent years stripping away noise until only the essentials remain. In the third episode of the High Times Podcast, Josh Kesselman sits across from the Trinidadian-American artist, songwriter and creative architect for a long, open conversation about smoke, discipline, vulnerability, work, and the strange ways people learn to live with themselves.

The data comes from the Dog Aging Project (DAP), a massive US-based scientific initiative that collects information on tens of thousands of dogs. Through…

The modern cannabis market and its sleek dispensaries, brand collaborations, and Green Wednesday promos for infused pre-rolls feel far removed from the world where activists went to jail for baking weed brownies for the terminally ill.
