Original publication: September 1999. 25 Things Every Growroom Should Have BY JACKER SPACKLE Bountiful harvests are easy in a growroom equipped with the right gear. Some essentials are household items that cost next to nothing while a few items can be a bit pricey. All of them make gardening easier, safer and more productive. So, without further ado, here are 25 useful items no bud garden should be without. 1. Hydrogen peroxide. An environmentally friendly alternative to bleach for all sterilizing and cleaning needs. Peroxide reduces disease on cuttings and seedlings, while it safely adds extra oxygen molecules to nutrient…

For people like me, the mild, somewhat psychedelic effects from cannabis are nothing compared to the side effects of pharmaceutical pills. When people suggest that medical cannabis shouldn’t be used because of its impact on our daily functions, or because it’s slightly psychedelic, it’s always good for a good laugh. I learned this through lived experience. In 2011, I was diagnosed with HIV while living in Long Beach, California. A team of student nurses launched a project to pay people on the street $90 cash to get checked for HIV. One of my friends convinced me to join him and…

How legal weed is leaving the people and the culture behind. Scene: a white-walled, hermetically sealed dispensary that looks less like a place to buy weed and more like a backdrop from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It smells faintly of ionized air conditioning and plastic. Sleek iPads, LED mood lighting, and a curated playlist engineered to keep you calm enough to tip. Controlled.Unthreatening. Cannabis isn’t just a drug anymore (took long enough), and dispensaries aren’t just drug stores. They’re minimalist retail temples with $300 zips and brand copy straight out of an Organifi fever dream. Weed now comes in all…

The Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary celebration at Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park was less a concert and more a cosmic convergence. Dead and Company were joined by Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson, and Trey Anastasio from Phish, each bringing their own magic to the party. For me, it was one of those rare moments where the past, present, and future all aligned in perfect harmony. Fans, both young and old, arrived with sky-high expectations. Tickets were not cheap. General admission three-day passes were $600, and VIP packages started at $1,500. A far cry from the free park shows the Grateful…

Environmental economists tend to think everything boils down to energy. In the case of cannabis, that might actually be true. The THC-infused gummy you popped after work, the boutique pre-roll you grabbed from your local dispensary… They each come with an invisible environmental bill. Like most things these days. Except, maybe, it’s steeper than you’d expect. Especially considering we’re talking about a plant. Duh. Have you ever wondered how many kilowatt-hours it takes to grow weed? Or how many gallons of water it guzzled on its way to your grinder? Cannabis is now one of the most resource-intensive crops in…

That’s it, we call it: weed is mainstream now. Dare we say normie? Sure, it’s still illegal in a ridiculous number of countries; but in places where you can safely light one up, marijuana is rapidly entering the realm of everyday life. So much so that cannabis-themed weddings have become fashionable, including perks like giving weed to guests (both knowingly and secretly; the latter is morally reprehensible, not to mention dangerous, and we don’t recommend it at all). An example of this is actors Alison Brie and Dave Franco. The couple is currently in the midst of the premiere of…
