Wine loosens the tongue; weed sets you free. After a few puffs, many people feel more relaxed, more introspective, or —even the toughest, prickliest types— start to open up emotionally. The right setting, next to the right person, can lead to deep, loving, and sometimes wild conversations. Smoking weed as a couple often helps you tune into each other’s feelings and drop the guard, making it easier to touch on things that might otherwise be hard (if not downright impossible) to discuss.  Shared goals? A deeper meaning to the relationship? Fears and insecurities? Alternative futures? Projects you want to lock…

It was Bill Hicks, who, in a moment of unrelenting truth-telling, said something that combined two of my favorite things in life: music and drugs.

Colombia is among the countries that have had the most back-and-forth on cannabis regulation—perhaps rivaled only by Mexico (and, of course, the US). Congress has already debated the issue a grand total of eight times, but has never reached a real outcome. Last week, the First Committee of the House of Representatives approved a constitutional reform bill to allow the adult use of cannabis. But be still, oh foolish heart: this is only the first round of debate, with seven more still to go. For now, the event feels like no more than a déjà vu, met with more caution…

In recent weeks, a shocking headline has been making the rounds again: “King Charles uses medical cannabis to treat his cancer.” Some reports even mention a “small grow” at Highgrove along with oils recommended by Swiss doctors. So, what’s going on? For many, cannabis is a trusted companion in the face of serious illnesses: cancer, chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, chemo-induced nausea, insomnia, and more. It may not be a miracle cure, but it can soften the blow of aggressive treatments and improve quality of life. In the United Kingdom, around 55,000 people already have access to medical cannabis prescriptions, using…

Remember Tegridy Farms? Of course you do. They’ve been a recurring feature on the iconic South Park series for years, frequently used not only for laughs, but to expose all kinds of injustices. Now, the fictional marijuana farm has made a new appearance, this time to contribute its two cents to the current cannabis rescheduling saga in the US. For years, the United States has been locked in a tug-of-war regarding the plant’s legal status. Currently, the possibility of changing its classification as a drug is being considered, from Schedule I (a category shared with substances that are truly dangerous,…

“I’m just giving people what they want. We’re giving them choices, somethin’ real, somethin’ that vibes with their lifestyle. It’s about creating that alternative, that go-to, for every occasion. Cannabis has been a part of our culture forever. Cannabis, these drinks, it’s all about wellness, about living your best life,” Snoop Dogg says in an exclusive interview. When he talks, he still lands his message like a direct hit on the zeitgeist, with candid words rooted in decades of cultural sway. Earlier this year, the rap legend stepped into new territory once again. This time, it’s not music or film,…
