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,…

The greatest threat to the future of cannabis may not be legislation or corporatization, but the silent extinction of its genetic diversity. The modern cannabis industry has evolved faster in the past ten years than it did in the ten thousand years prior, but it has come at a cost. As we have raced toward faster finishes, higher THC numbers, and uniformity of product, we have bred ourselves into a corner. Nearly all commercial genetics now descend from a narrow set of highly hybridized lines, selected for appearance and potency, but often lacking in resilience, effect, and depth. Long-flowering varieties,…

Original publication: August 2016. How Dylan Turned On the Beatles In his new book How to Smoke Pot (Properly), marijuana journalist David Bienenstock provides a valuable “headiquette” lesson outlining the dos and don’ts of getting someone high for the first time. In the following excerpt, Bienenstock examines how some of the 20th century’s most Influential artists first got stoned. Even the great and exalted Bob Marley once smoked ganja for the first time. And he probably asked a bunch of dumb questions and coughed too much throughout. So if you’re ever called upon to help guide an uninitiated friend or…

In the U.S., the legal cannabis industry rakes in billions of dollars a year, expected to hit $45 billion by 2025. Meanwhile, the plant is already legal for adult use in 24 states and for medical use in 40.  For many, that means booming businesses, shiny dispensaries, and a culture gone mainstream. For others, though, it’s been a nightmare: of the more than 120,000 immigrants deported in 2025, 600 were for marijuana-related offenses. And in three out of four cases, those charges were over five years old, according to Marijuana Moment. Many of those arrested and deported by Immigration and…
