After months of silence and bureaucratic stalling, the DEA finally has a new boss: Terrance Cole, confirmed by the Senate earlier this week. That might not sound like major weed news since it’s the DEA and all, but it is. The federal effort to reschedule cannabis — perhaps the biggest shift in US drug policy in over half a century — now flows directly through him. Let’s break it down: Cannabis is still a Schedule I substance under federal law, the same category as heroin and LSD, meaning the government officially considers it to have no medical value and a…
The Short Version The company you invested in, High Times Holdings, no longer exists. It went under and into receivership.

If you have a claim, you should reach out to the receiver handling the process as soon as possible.

The inhalation of cannabis flower containing THC and CBD provides superior migraine relief compared to a placebo, according to clinical trial data presented at the annual meeting of the American Headache Society. “This is the first placebo-controlled study in this space. It’s the first real — to me — compelling evidence for the anti-migraine effects of cannabis in humans,” the study’s lead researcher said. Investigators affiliated with the University of California at San Diego presented the findings. They had previously documented their results in a 2024 preprint paper, concluding, “Vaporized 6% THC+11% CBD cannabis flower was superior to placebo for…

John Michael “Ozzy” Osbourne has passed away at the age of 76. Known to most as the frontman of Black Sabbath and a solo force of nature, Ozzy wasn’t just the godfather of heavy metal — he was one of us. A weed-smoking, boundary-breaking, chaos-loving rock and roll outlaw who never stopped waving the freak flag, even when the rest of the world begged him to tone it down. Ozzy didn’t just play music that stoners loved. He lived it. Every blown speaker, every thunderous Sabbath riff, every moment of madness on stage or screen was touched by the same…

Original publication: February 1994. THE BATTLE FOR MEDICAL MARIJUANA PETER GORMAN Medical marijuana is legally available to only nine people nationwide. The Compassionate Investigational New Drug (IND) program which supplies government marijuana to those nine is jointly administered by the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the Public Health Service (PHS)—which shut down expansion of the program two years ago, claiming that it sent a “bad signal” to the American public. But with the arrival of the Clinton team in Washington, more tolerant winds may be blowing through the corridors of…

“I’ve been in some of the most intense contact that a man—a human—can be in. I’ve been locked in cars with Snoop. I was in the back of my son’s dispensary and they were smoking every kind of weed in there… weed called Dead Body and Autopsy and all this,” says Ice-T in an exclusive interview. “I was so high that I stood up, did a 360 like I was leaving, and sat back down.” If there’s a contradiction more compelling than this, it’s hard to find: Ice-T, the rapper who soundtracked generations of rebellion, who rose from the streets…
