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…

On a hot summer afternoon, I took the train from Jersey City into Manhattan, feeling increasingly confident navigating the city’s pulse. Each visit builds on the last, and this one had a special promise: a cannabis tasting hosted by PAX and Budist at Tucci, a cozy Italian restaurant known for its authentic comfort food. The gathering brought together about 30 people: cannabis journalists, industry leaders, cultural influencers, and passionate consumers. Budist co-founders Jocelyn Sheltraw and Claudio Miranda greeted us with warmth, introducing their intuitive cannabis discovery app. Their excitement mirrored the energy building around the East Coast cannabis scene. At…

While Slovenia moves forward with a bill to legalize medical marijuana, some lawmakers believe that’s just the beginning. That’s why members of the Freedom Movement, The Left, and the Social Democrats are stepping on the gas, having introduced a new bill to legalize adult-use cannabis, according to Marijuana Moment. The proposal from the Balkan nation stems from a progressive and public health-oriented perspective, recognizing adult cannabis use as a legitimate personal choice, especially in a context of growing public support. Specifically, this draft legislation would: Allow adults to grow up to four cannabis plants per person, with a household cap…

Original publication: November 1986. MORE POT ON THE WAY FOR ’87 JORGE CERVANTES Whew! The summer marijuana drought is over! The law of supply and demand drove the summertime marijuana price sky high. This scarcity created a run on last year’s harvest of quality outdoor buds. As soon as the pot surfaced on the street, it was sold and smoked. This phenomena is similar to what happens when depositors learn their bank is running out of money; the depositors run to withdraw all of their savings. In this case, the savings go up in smoke. For the third consecutive year…

For many, the cannabis policy reform movement is rooted in the quest for personal liberty. Legalization isn’t just about getting high; it’s about being able to live your life the way you want to live it. In too many places, however, the legalization of cannabis does not include the freedom to grow the plant. Instead, cannabis patients and consumers are forced to participate in an overregulated and overtaxed market that not everyone can afford. The Freedom To Grow Depends on Where You Live A total of 25 states with legal weed have also legalized home cultivation, either for medical cannabis…
