The planet is dying, although some will still deny it. The data is unequivocal: according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), by 2030, the Earth will surpass 1.5°C of average global temperature compared to the pre-industrial era. This will only happen if the countries that signed the Paris Agreement meet their targets. But the situation is likely to be even worse. Not only because the U.S. withdrew from this international commitment, but also because environmental pollution shows no signs of slowing. According to an Oxfam study, the planet’s richest 1% needed only the first ten days of 2025…

Among cinema’s best ‘stoner’ archetypes, past or present, Diane Keaton brought to life some of the most memorable film moments where cannabis appeared naturally, without drama or moralizing. A calm, witty, and impossibly chic on-camera weed enthusiast.Annie Hall: the first stoner girlBut did Diane Keaton smoke weed? Keaton left this world on October 11, leaving behind a filmography that, through laughter and vulnerability, reshaped how Hollywood portrayed relaxation, desire, and female intelligence. Californian actress, fashion icon, adoptive mother, and Oscar winner (also a lover of design, architecture, and photography) and, more recently, a late-blooming singer, who finally fulfilled an almost-forgotten…

Given Larry Charles’ career, a memoir titled “Comedy Genius” wouldn’t have been too self-aggrandizing or off the mark. Charles was a writer on Seinfeld, directed Borat and Bruno, produced and directed classic episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm, and, most recently, helmed Dicks: The Musical. For decades, he’s made audiences laugh until it hurts. He broke through the mainstream time and time again, mostly by breaking the rules — often showing people at their worst, especially in the case of Borat and Bruno. He’s found laughs in some of the darkest parts of the world, as in his series Larry Charles’…

The cannabis and hemp industries are in a period of turbulence. Prices have compressed, regulations remain unpredictable, and consumers are becoming more discerning. 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…
