Not long ago, at a local bar’s karaoke night, I saw some drunk bro perform “All Star,” the 1999 hit single by the American rock band Smash Mouth. It was not a good performance — for a number of reasons — but our boy seemed to think that the joke of…

There's a frightening new trend in cannabis, and the headlines make it sound dire. "Mysterious Marijuana-Related Illness Popping Up in Emergency Rooms," the Huffington Post reported. "Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome: It's as Terrible as It Sounds," a Fox…

Think back to your childhood living room. It's a rainy Saturday. You and your brother or sister or neighborhood friend are sprawled on the furniture, bored beyond belief. You have to do something to break the lull. Then: inspiration. "The floor,"…

For those who like to unwind with a little weed at the end of a long day, it seems that less is more. And more could be way, way too much. When you ask cannabis users what the drug does for them, "relaxation" is the most common answer. A Yahoo…

On Saturday, a man in a tie-dyed T-shirt handed me a bag filled with 25 different marijuana samples and gave me a week to smoke it all, come hell or high water. Judging the Cannabis Cup sounded like it was going to be the best time of my life. But…

Anyone routinely told that cannabis use makes for an unmotivated, uneventful or unimpressive life now has the numbers to refute such myths. A recent study shows that across a wide array of indicators, cannabis consumers are doing better — socially,…

Twitter is like a drug: addictive, poorly regulated, responsible for dazzling highs and rock-bottom lows. But right now, at this moment, let's forget all the trolls, mansplainers, Nazis and sitting U.S. presidents who make the platform a living hell…

While many Americans can now buy and grow marijuana legally — choosing from an endlessly varied selection of premium bud — some still have to take it wherever they can find it. Even U.S. government researchers are forced to work with terrible…

According to the annual Global Drug Survey, psilocybin hallucinogenic mushrooms are the safest recreational drug — with marijuana a close second. Out of 120,000 people surveyed in 50 countries, more than 12,000 reported that they had taken "magic"…

Athletes are always pushing themselves to go harder, faster and higher. One company wants to help them do just that — with marijuana chocolates. No, really: 1906, a startup founded by former Wall Street banker Peter Barsoom, is in the business of…

Each morning we open Twitter with the grim certainty of those condemned to endless suffering. No doubt President Trump did or said something bad, we've somehow inched closer to planetary annihilation and some dozen dimwitted takes about…

Democracy is dying in the United States, but all we can do is gape, slack-jawed and goggle-eyed, as it slips away forever. Behold the new SpongeBob SquarePants meme. "Mocking SpongeBob," casually known as the SpongeBob chicken meme, is far from the…

The entire reason Instagram exists is to make your life look better than it is. Everyone knows this, everyone accepts it and everyone keeps faving each other's ultra-filtered beach sunsets and food porn. It's not easy making your way in this world —…

Much of the national debate over marijuana concerns keeping it out of children's hands — and for good reason. There are many indications that weed can impair the developing adolescent brain, and some research holds that the sooner kids start…

Last November, Florida voters passed Amendment 2, a measure to expand access to medical marijuana. Pro-weed forces won big, with 71% in favor. But Republican politicians in the Sunshine State aren't as keen on pot as their constituents. In fact,…

Sorry to harsh everybody's buzz, but we've got some bad news: Over the past few decades, states with medical marijuana laws have seen a bigger bump in illicit and cannabis use disorders than states without a weed program. That's the conclusion drawn…

Before Wiz Khalifa's Weed Farm hit the App Store and Google Play on 4/20 — the holiest day in stoner culture — the mobile game's namesake rapper posted some Instagram photos to prove that he was already addicted to it. "Available 4/20," he wrote.…

When you walk into a marijuana dispensary these days, you're likely to see a lot more than just premium bud, pre-rolled joints and weed-infused candy. Ultra-potent concentrates made from cannabis, once the cutting edge in stoner tech, have gone…

When the Georgia Legislature voted last month to expand its medical marijuana program, it wasn't to legalize growing operations or streamline the application process. Instead, they added to a list of qualifying conditions; going forward, patients…

In a country where 61% of the citizenry supports marijuana legalization, you'd think that police would know better than to try and impress the populace with small weed busts. But time and again, they proudly pose with their little baggies of pot for…
