If you’re dabbing or hitting a weed vape, there’s a good chance you’re smoking pesticides. That’s according to leading California cannabis testing laboratory SC Labs. The company’s co-founder Alec Dixon recently said in an LA Weekly article that a majority of the marijuana concentrates his lab sees contain pesticides. “When we start talking about these […]
From now on, the term “clubbing” might mean something different. Instead of bottle service and grooving on the dance floor, hitting the club might entail eating cheetos and taking a nap in a booth.

Measure M passed on the Los Angeles primary election Tuesday. The measure makes possible a sort of fresh start for cannabis businesses in the City of Angels.

Last month, less than a week into office, President Trump said his administration would publish a weekly list of crimes committed by immigrants in the U.S. Though he might not have had a teenage art student with a minor pot possession charge in mind for that list, that teenager is now suffering the consequences of […]
Being skeptical of the health benefits of cannabis is nothing new for conservatives, but our new Attorney General Jeff Sessions is now not only denying them, he seems to be calling claims of them in the mainstream media to be outright lies.

Neuroscientists have finally found a way to predict whether kids will be druggies when they grow up. It turns out that it largely depends on one factor: how much they love money.
