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…

Witness them together, and it’s immediately clear: Wendy Zeng and Christina Wong have a special bond. They cozily share Zeng’s living room couch as we start our virtual interview, their answers weaving together effortlessly with every question.

A key component of adult-use cannabis legalization in Germany involves ongoing evaluations by researchers and government officials to gauge if the nation’s cannabis policies and regulations are effective. The data derived from the evaluation efforts, especially the EKOCAN project, will be heavily relied upon by German lawmakers when they make future decisions about German cannabis laws and industry regulations. Several initial evaluation data points and findings have recently surfaced, and the results are favorable. The information from researchers heavily focuses on three main components: Child and youth protection Public health outcomes Cannabis-related crime Focus #1: Child and Youth Protection Regarding…

Some gear earns your respect the moment you open the box. Not because it’s flashy or expensive, but because it feels like it was made with care. That’s what happened when I got my hands on the Grado Hemp Headphones, a limited-edition, hand-assembled pair made from compressed hemp and maple wood in Brooklyn, New York. At first glance, it sounds like a novelty. Headphones made out of weed? Cute. But then you plug them in. And suddenly, the whole thing makes sense. These are not gimmick headphones. They’re refined, warm, and weird in the best way. They have soul. Headphones…
For decades, American politics has been locked in a stale headlock between Democrats and Republicans. Red versus blue, left versus right—the duopoly is so ingrained that most voters can’t even imagine a third way forward. But cannabis is doing what no polished debate stage or billion-dollar Super PAC could: it’s cracking the two-party armor wide open. In red states, voters choose legalization when their politicians won’t. In blue states, activists push past timid Democrats to demand equity and justice. And in between—the independents, the libertarians, the Greens—cannabis is the rare issue where everyone can share a joint, literally or figuratively.…
