In a press briefing yesterday, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said the Trump administration believes there’s “a big difference” between medical and recreational marijuana. He noted that while medical cannabis laws are nominally protected by Congress (which in 2004 banned the Feds from spending money to interfere with state laws), recreational cannabis enjoys no such federal protection. And so
Best known for his quick wit and sharp rejoinders on the beloved improv-driven television show Who’s Line is It Anyway?, comedian Greg Proops lately stakes his claim to being the thinking man’s comic on his popular The Smartest Podcast in the World and as a headlining stand-up act. Long a devoted cannabis enthusiast, and well known among his fellow comedians
During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump expressed “100% support” for medical marijuana and told the Washington Post “in terms of marijuana and legalization … I really believe we should leave it up to the states.” So far, so good. But since winning the election, Trump has been troublingly silent on the issue, while surrounding himself with some of the country’s
Best known for her cannabis-infused Italian cuisine, internet sensation Nonna Marijuana goes cross-cultural in her new recipe video, posted just in time for Hanukkah. Nonna’s already filmed a harvest feast (that went viral, with over 3 million views) and a Christmas special—so this year, she decided to make marijuana-infused latkes (potato pancakes) for all of her Jewish friends. The delicious
Excerpted from: How to Smoke Pot (Properly): A Highbrow Guide to Getting High (Penguin / Random House – 2016) When I first became involved in cannabis activism twenty years ago, people invariably asked: Why waste your time trying to legalize marijuana? It’s never going to happen. Well, it’s happening now, and the story of how an underfunded, widely-mocked, willfully disregarded
The morning after Election Day, I went on Headline News and tried to gift the host an ounce of OG Kush. “It’s perfectly legal,” I reminded her, after she jumped a bit in her anchor chair (before politely declining my offer). Cannabis legalization ballot initiatives had just passed in eight states at once, so I also made the point that
When it comes to the cannabis industry, it’s time for the weed heads to band together to keep out the greed heads. And that starts with how you vote this November. I’ve been a cannabis journalist for fifteen years, and just published a book called How To Smoke Pot (Properly) that includes a lengthy section titled, “Cannabis Should Transform Capitalism,
In honor of the cult favorite web series making its HBO premiere this Friday night, HIGH TIMES decided to treat the real-life cannabis couple behind High Maintenance (which chronicles the ongoing adventures of a New York City weed delivery guy) to a $420 medical cannabis shopping spree at a leading Los Angeles dispensary. Ben Sinclair and Katja Blichfeld married on
A new study from the University of Texas’ Center for Brain Health and the Albuquerque-based Mind Research Network has showed that, based on MRI scans, frequent cannabis users have less grey matter in the orbital front cortex of their brains than non-users, but they also show increased connectivity in their brains. Based on the researchers’ limited scope (they did not
Marijuana legalization won big at the polls this week, with separate voters initiatives passing in Alaska, Oregon and Washington, DC, even though the electorate in this particular contest skewed far older and more conservative than the overall make-up of the country. Which is significant, when you consider senior citizens and Republicans are the only two voting blocks left that will
Back in 2012, when a Duke University study purported to find a link between chronic marijuana use and IQ decline in teenagers, the mainstream media treated the findings like a dire warning from on high — the definitive last word on the subject, and a troubling impediment for anyone thinking of legalizing the drug for adults. Meanwhile, those of us
Every Democrat in the Pennsylvania State Senate, and 20 out of 27 Republicans, voted last week in support of a measure that would legalize medical marijuana in highly restricted forms and for only a small percentage of patients in need. But the state’s governor and attorney general nonetheless oppose the measure, claiming that cannabis’s medical utility remains unproven, and any
