Earlier this week New Jersey punted a bill that would have legalized cannabis in the state, postponing it to a referendum in 2020. However, many cannabis proponents cheered at the decision.

As game-changing as Brexit, but probably a lot more fun, Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has announced his proposal to decriminalize all illegal drugs. In his administration’s five-year national development plan, Obrador showed that he is both pragmatic and damn ballsy, declaring that his country’s “prohibitionist strategy is unsustainable.” “The ‘war on drugs’ has […]
The Super Trooper guys are back, again. The comedy group Broken Lizard won the hearts of many a stoner with their 2001 cult comedy Super Troopers.

It’s a problem anyone can relate to: first you get your private jet stopped by police at the small island nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis, then your 5,000 marijuana plants are seized, and then you have to pay a cash bail of $30,000 before you presumably go home to one of twenty mansions you […]

In Denver, a ballt measure which would have legalized psilocybin mushrooms lost by a slim margin of only 5,000 votes. Nearly half of voters, 48%, cast their ballot in favor of the measure. Initiative 301 would have legalized the possession and use of magic mushrooms within Denver city limits and made history as the first […]
The cannabis business has been getting more and more competitive these last several years. In the U.S., state after state has legalized medicinal and recreational weed. Then, last year Canada went whole hog on it and the U.K. started making extracts too. But now, as in many other industries, U.S. extract companies may have something […]
Las Vegas is now one of the only places in the U.S. with legal cannabis lounges, after a 4-1 vote by the City Council on Wednesday reported by the Las Vegas Sun.
