Traveling with cannabis just got a little less stressful at one major world transit hub. The Los Angeles International Airport updated its public marijuana policy on its website recently to green-light transporting legal amounts of cannabis through security checkpoints and onto planes.

With less than a week to go ahead of the Quebec provincial election, those keeping track of cannabis politics in Quebec have a lot to consider. Quebec is set to begin adult-use legalization—in just over three weeks—with the nation’s most austere provincial cannabis laws.

After ingesting some carefully measured homemade brownies, “I was suddenly overcome with giggles,” recalled Rowe, who now lives in Maine. “And I was very conscious of how […]
Over the weekend, a Maine chef who gave THC to lobsters drew some unwanted attention, and the Utah medical marijuana initiative campaign heated up. Now what? Spark some Trainwreck, grab those new ‘Fresh Prince’ Air Jordan 5s, and put on Cypress Hill’s first new LP in eight years — that’s what. It’s all part of […]
