Artificial Intelligence (AI) has reached a level of everyday intimacy where it’s starting to feel like a friend. We argue over dinner recipes, plan trips, ask how to fix things around the house, and sometimes even bring our personal dilemmas to it (an intimacy that, as we’re learning, doesn’t always come without risks). This is now standard behavior. Large language model chatbots like ChatGPT or Gemini are always on standby, ready to answer just about any question we throw at them. But what happens when those chatbots—so often mistakenly “humanized”—start responding as if they were on drugs? Many people, sometimes…

The actor jumps on EsDeeKid’s “4 Raws Remix” for his biggest rap moment yet, winking at months of internet theories that the masked UK rapper and Chalamet were secretly the same person. Somewhere between a drill remix, an A24 rollout and the internet’s most committed inside joke, Timothée Chalamet popped up rapping alongside masked UK artist EsDeeKid. Yes, it belongs in High Times. The track is the “4 Raws Remix.” The hook does not overthink things. Every time I smoke, I light four Raws. That’s the thesis. Whether that means four skinny soldiers or one biblical fatty is between you,…

BHO started as a hydrocarbon experiment, often using raw butane and DIY rigs that carried risks. Even with today’s refined, regulated extraction systems, solventless options like rosin and hash remain the purest way to consume cannabis without chemical solvents or complicated gear. Before Colorado had dispensaries, regulations, compliance trackers, or certificate-of-analysis stickers, it already had a thriving cannabis economy. Flowers were everywhere, growers were experimenting, and the underground market worked as a decentralized but surprisingly efficient distribution system. In that liminal pre-legal era, long before modern concentrate menus and terpene labels, the community was already consuming waxes, early oils, improvised…

On occasion, geography offers up some profoundly useful glitches. Other times, with skill and ingenuity, humankind turns that geography into an asset. And in the case of the park bench that stars in this story, you’d swear the hand of God intervened purely for the people’s enjoyment. In Plaza Abaroa, in La Paz’s posh Sopocachi neighborhood, an anonymous structure has existed for years, used by Bolivian citizens to smoke weed outdoors, communally. Popularly known as “Banco Pipa” (“Pipe Bench”) or “Banca Comunal” (“Communal Bench”), a particular park bench became a rite of passage for a bunch of young people into…

Wiz Khalifa has been sentenced to nine months in prison in Romania for lighting up a joint on stage during a music festival. A small amount of cannabis in a country with little tolerance, a crowd packed with young fans (something judges said worsened the offense), and a criminal ruling that crossed borders.What Romania’s court said and why they toughened the sentenceWhat did Khalifa say? According to the BBC, the sentence was handed down by a Romanian appeals court, which overturned an earlier fine and opted for a custodial sentence, even though the artist is not currently in the country.…

When President Donald Trump announced that he would sign an executive order moving marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, he didn’t frame it as a cultural breakthrough or a political victory. He framed it as medicine. There were no weed jokes, no talk of freedom, no nods to cannabis culture. Instead, Trump spoke about pain, illness, seniors, veterans, and people facing the end of their lives. And near the end of the event, he made something else unmistakably clear. “I don’t want it. I’m not taking it,” the president said. That line captured the deeper story behind the announcement.…

President Donald Trump today signed an executive order expediting the reclassification of cannabis as a less dangerous drug—moving it from Schedule I to Schedule III of the Controlled Substances Act. The President was joined by several medical leaders during the signing, including Dr. Mehmt Oz, Dr. Nora Volkow of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, FDA Commissioner Dr. Martin Makary; and Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr, among others. “I have a very distinguished group of people behind me, mostly medical people and brilliant people and they really know what they’re doing,” said the President prior…
