There was a time when cheap weed was bad weed. But now really bad weed is in danger of getting priced out. Even good weed has dropped in market value by almost 30 percent since June 2016, according to Civilized. Way back in the days of the last presidential election, weed would fetch an average […]
California peeps who like to smoke did a little touchdown dance at the the beginning of this year, when the state unleashed its recreational cannabis program. One big catch, though, is that a lot of Californians still can’t readily access legal marijuana. In fact, Leafly reports that 75% of communities in California ban cannabis sales […]
If you tuned into Kevin Smith on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Tuesday then you probably heard the life-affirming anecdote about his heart attack.

Düber is not the first company to try launching a cannabis-centric cryptocurrency. Banking has always been a problem in the legal cannabis industry. Mainly because you can’t bank.

For a long time now the commission has frowned on intoxicated gambling and forbid casinos from letting “visibly impaired” people gambled.

It allowed patients to use cannabis-derived concentrates, oils, tinctures, and pills, and it could be recommended for a relatively diverse list of qualifying conditions including cancer or PTSD. But now the state’s Health Secretary says that they’re going to add flower into the mix. That’s good […]
In what was weirdly not interpreted as a joke in a Newsweek article, the godfathers of cannabis culture Cheech and Chong have declared that “Pot’s over, man,” on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Their beef, their very much fake beef, is that weed can no longer be cool now that it’s legalized and even […]
It seems like too many to be a coincidence. Over the last few weeks, YouTube has deleted or locked a number of cannabis-related channels, and the marijuana community is asking why. The noted weed-related YouTube users including famed cannabis horticulturist Jorge Cervantes, Vader OG, Greenbox Grown, and how-to channel GreenGenes Garden have all been shut […]
In our 4/20 brief last, um, 4/20, we posed the single most important question we could think of concerning the holiday in 2018: was Lil Wayne going to walk out on the High Times Cannabis Cup again?
