When renowned US film director Paul Thomas Anderson and his Argentine producer Florencia Martin visited the Sisters of the Valley farm in California’s Central Valley, they were stunned. They were scouting locations and finding inspiration for their new film, and that work, the lush greenery, those open landscapes, those distant mountains… all that timeless mystique remained etched into their retinas. “The connection was very organic,” Sister Karina readily acknowledges, amid the hype surrounding the film One Battle After Another, that crime-drama gem starring Leonardo DiCaprio that is currently a box office hit. So who are the Sisters of the Valley?…

In How I Got You Your Ounce, a memoir published in 2025 by BookBaby, a self-described “apartment dealer” known as Jimmy X recounts 53 years of selling marijuana in New York City. Written by Jimmy X” and Nan K. Chase with David Belmont, the book tracks cannabis from the mid-1960s through legalization, weaving social, legal and personal history. Jimmy X says he sold roughly five tons of marijuana, generating about $30 million in total sales while living what he calls an unassuming middle-class life. He retired in 2020 without ever being arrested. The figures and claims are presented as his…

Walk into any grow room, and it is easy to be drawn to the topic of lights, systems, nutrients, or genetics. But say the word microbiome, and suddenly the conversation shifts into big words and a bit of mystery.  Some growers swear by living soil, others prefer rock wool or coco. Yet if you’ve ever wondered why two plants of the same strain, grown side by side, can express radically different terpene profiles or resin density—the answer may be beneath your feet, in the living web of microorganisms that surround your roots.  Here at Mother Magnolia, we have been cultivating…

Following the first anniversary of Hurricane Helene, I found myself driving the same winding backroads I did last October, retracing the path of destruction with a different kind of weight in my chest. What once looked like chaos, the downed trees, caved-in roofs, and mangled bridges, has now settled into a strange stillness. But for those of us in Appalachia’s creative underground, the storm never really left. It just changed form. Helene didn’t only knock out power or flood valleys. It shattered spaces that had taken years, sometimes lifetimes, to build. It interrupted lives mid-movement, mid-breath, mid-bead of molten glass.…

For years, cannabis vaping has swung between convenience and waste. Consumers chased disposable ease, brands juggled endless SKUs, and the planet absorbed the cost as lithium-ion batteries piled up in landfills. Now a new shift is underway: the move toward open, interoperable, and reusable vape systems built to last rather than expire. The push is environmental, economic, and cultural. Disposables made vaping simple, yet also expensive, inconsistent, and unsustainable. Brands want to cut hardware costs, simplify supply chains, and deliver better user experience without the one-and-done waste. The next wave treats cannabis vaping less like gadgetry and more like infrastructure.…

Patients suffering from dementia associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) exhibit cognitive improvements following the sustained use of plant-derived cannabinoid extracts, according to placebo-controlled clinical trial data published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. An international team of investigators from Brazil and the United States compared the efficacy of low-dose cannabis extracts versus placebo in 28 patients with AD-associated dementia. Study participants consumed either a THC-CBD balanced extract or a placebo daily for 26 weeks. Patients’ cognitive performance was assessed at baseline and at 4, 8, 12, and 26 weeks. Patients who received the placebo experienced an overall decrease in their…
