Yet even in this uncertainty, one trend is clear. The fastest-growing product category is no longer loose flower but pre-rolls. For many consumers, the pre-roll has become the entry point to cannabis, convenient, predictable, and ready to use. It has shifted from being a novelty item on the shelf to being one of the core products that drives volume. When someone who is new to cannabis walks into a dispensary, there is a good chance they leave…
When Will Cohen and Ben Kraim first started Tokin’ Jew, they were not trying to launch a business. They were two friends exploring the overlap between Judaism, cannabis, and community, laughing their way into something bigger. Today, the Brooklyn-based brand is part meme page, part kosher edible company, part community builder, and part reimagining of what it means to be both Jewish and a cannabis consumer in 2025. As cofounder Kraim puts it, “We like to say that Tokin’ Jew is the intersection between Judaism and cannabis, and we are on a mission to destigmatize weed in the Jewish world…

Stephen Baldwin logs onto Zoom like a neighbor who has a good story ready. He is warm, quick with a joke, and happy to drift between family memories, faith, and flowers. Within a minute, he is recalling smoke-filled rooms from his Long Island childhood and a Jim Morrison soundtrack that still rings in his ears. He is also tying it to his own family tree. The Doors’ keyboardist Ray Manzarek once cited Brazilian jazz great Eumir Deodato as an influence. Deodato is Baldwin’s father-in-law. In other words, Baldwin’s personal history has always had a little High Times energy humming in…

Mogu Magu: A Collective is Born Zeng and Wong connected over these experiences when…
