Perimenopause isn’t just a chapter; it’s a plot twist with attitude. One minute you’re serene and hydrated, the next you’re channeling Kathy Bates in Fried Green Tomatoes, screaming “Towanda!” as your hormones emotionally T-bone a parked car. Hot flashes, mood swings, sleep battles, libido dips, anxiety spikes—it’s a full-body revolution every woman faces, yet almost none of us are prepared for. For me, perimenopause didn’t arrive politely. There was no missed period, no heads-up, no gentle transition. It showed up as brain fog thick enough to lose words mid-sentence, anxiety that felt distinctly biochemical, and random Towanda rage. The kind…

I was fourteen when I first found cannabis. And High Times. The two didn’t just make me feel better—they saved me. Back then, I didn’t have words for what I was feeling: a restless, chaotic mind, a chest tight with panic I couldn’t name. Cannabis slowed everything down just enough for me to breathe, to feel, to survive. Not long after that, an adult handed me meth. That was the beginning of a 26-year descent into addiction, chaos, and legal trouble. Ironically, my first felony was for Marinol—a synthetic version of the very plant that had quietly held me together…

Cannabis has never been a single experience. It was never one molecule, one effect, one intention, or one lane. It has always been plural—used for healing, ritual, relief, escape, communion, and survival, sometimes all at once. The plant made room for contradiction long before regulators tried to flatten it into categories that could fit on a spreadsheet. Somewhere along the road to legitimacy, that plurality got lost. Hemp became something else. Medical became a loophole. Adult use became a market. Pharmaceutical became a threat. Culture became collateral damage. What we call cannabis now often says more about who’s allowed to…

When you enter a dispensary in search of a specific strain, sleepy-time gummy, or vape pen, you’re usually on an in-and-out mission. Any accessories you walk out the door with are typically last-minute, impulse purchases. Costing around $5, $10 or $15, the price point is low enough that consumers are comfortable making a quick decision. With enough foot traffic, those small purchases can add up quickly for operators. So, why aren’t more dispensaries spending time ensuring they carry the right accessories and that they aren’t running out? Whatever the reason, Luv Buds Founder and CEO Brett Harris is helping dispensaries…

A 15-minute film follows one season of sun-grown cannabis in Maine and a partnership built to survive outside the corporate model. In King’s Field, the story begins with a simple problem. King Bishop cannot grow enough cannabis to keep his shop stocked. The solution does not arrive through expansion capital or industrial infrastructure. It arrives through trust, experience, and a shared understanding of the land. Directed by Joe Carter, King’s Field – A Maine Cannabis Story is a 15-minute short documentary that follows one full outdoor season of sun-grown cannabis in Maine. It is observational, unhurried, and grounded in the…

How speculative finance and distorted incentives hollowed out American weed. On a sunny afternoon in Santa Monica in the spring of 2018, I sat on a hotel patio with the owners of two up-and-coming cannabis businesses: one a popular low-cost brand and the other a NorCal farming co-op. I had an all-cash offer from investors in Toronto for roughly $100 million to acquire both their companies in a ‘roll-up-go-public’ play. They told me they were waiting for something closer to ten times that amount.  I wasn’t that surprised—cannabis was hot, and stories of massive paydays were being recounted with hushed…

Now 71, Chicago-born Jim Belushi is having a moment with roles in two current films – Kristen Stewart’s The Chronology of Water, in which he plays counterculture legend Ken Kesey, and the pop musical, Song Sung Blue, co-starring Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman.
