• Women of the Cannabis Cup As support for marijuana increases, women are joining the cannabis community as never before. It’s significant because surveys of the past have shown that women have been less inclined to favor legalization. Not anymore. Today, women are found on all levels of the emerging industry—in management, in the service sector, in the garden and in our activist ranks. In fact, over the past five years of holding the High Times Cannabis Cup in America, we’ve witnessed a marked increase in the attendance of female pot fans. Editor-in-chief Dan Skye has prowled every US Cannabis Cup with his camera and photographed hundreds of women enjoying a spectacular weekend of weed celebration. Check out Dan’s online gallery of the fairer sex happily engaged with ganja at…

Facebook Phobia I’ve been supporting High Times since the late 1970s. I am in my 50s and, like most serious adults, I have no desire to give Mark Zuckerberg my data. So why would a magazine that has long chronicled illicit activity require me to be data-mined just to make a comment? We aren’t all weed-smoking, narcissistic twentysomethings anymore. If you aren’t willing to cater to the fiftysomethings that partake, I’ll just buy a different magazine. Quit aiming your gun at your feet. It’s silly to require a Facebook account that verifies my real name to post a comment to your site. Jesus Christ! Tom R. FYI, there are plenty of fiftysomethings (and older) on Facebook—and Facebook isn’t the only entity that’s data-mining you. Here’s a solution: Never use your…

Shrooms for Alcoholism In March, researchers helming a pilot study at the University of New Mexico reported that psilocybin could positively impact the treatment of alcoholism. Participants who had indulged in binge drinking at least twice in the previous month received just a single dose of psilocybin and experienced a drastic decline in their alcohol consumption: Over the next nine months, they drank an average of 50 percent less. LSD for OCD In March, professor David Nutt at the University of Cardiff in the United Kingdom orchestrated the world’s first brain-imaging study of people tripping on LSD. The 20 volunteers were each injected with 75 micrograms of acid and given two types of scans, including one measuring small magnetic fields generated in the brain. Nutt’s objective is to unlock the…

Getting baked and listening to Jimi Hendrix has been a stoner rite of passage for nearly 50 years. Now, stoners may have a chance to get baked on Hendrix, as the iconic guitarist is the latest legend to contribute his likeness to pot products—that is, if certain legal squabbles regarding the trademarks to Jimi’s name and image can be resolved. Silver State Trading—a Reno-based medical marijuana company—announced a licensing deal to market Jimi’s Cannabis Collection in Colorado, California and Nevada. The collection will feature a unique line of flowers and concentrates branded as Jimi’s Genetix. The legal skirmish underway pits Purple Haze Properties, run by Jimi’s brother Leon, against Experience Hendrix, which controls the late guitarist’s trademarks and musical rights and doesn’t seem to have any interest in linking Jimi…

Cannabis-comedy legend Tommy Chong recently disclosed that he’s battling rectal cancer and—no surprise—that medical marijuana is playing a big role in his treatment. “I’m using cannabis like crazy now, more so than ever before,” the 77-year-old stoner icon noted. He successfully used medical pot to combat prostate cancer in 2012. Cannabinoids like THC and CBD have a demonstrated ability to shrink tumors. And though he’s confronting his own mortality once again, Chong opts for optimism: “I’m in treatment now,” he told Us Weekly. “Either I get healed or I don’t. But either way, I’m going to make sure I get a little edge off” with pot. Get well soon, Tommy!…

Susan Olsen, the actress who played snitchy youngest daughter Cindy on the classic, campy ’70s sitcom The Brady Bunch, recently revealed that she used to grow pot. Olsen, now 53, admits that she and her former husband cultivated cannabis indoors. Olsen shied away from characterizing herself as a pot dealer in her interview with an Australian website owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation. But she did acknowledge that she and her then-husband “grew [cannabis] hydroponically.” Olsen added that she didn’t care much for getting high, since it makes her paranoid. However, she did enjoy growing “such a complicated, wonderfully fascinating plant.” Unfortunately, the illegality of growing ganja actually contributed to her decision to leave her husband. “It just bothered me too much that we were doing something so illegal,” Olsen…

California has a long and proud tradition as an enclave for progressive thinking—particularly about pot. It is, after all, the birthplace of the modern medical marijuana movement. And San Francisco is the epicenter of that movement. It was in San Francisco, nearly 20 years ago, that activists led by Dennis Peron crafted Proposition 215—the ballot initiative that made California the first state to legalize medical cannabis. High Times chose San Francisco as the site of the first Medical Cannabis Cup in 2010. The success of that first stateside Cup led to High Times events in other states across the country that had followed California’s lead and legalized medical pot. In recent years, the annual NorCal Cup was held outside San Francisco in nearby Richmond, and then further north in Santa…

Cannabutter is the traditional basis for marijuana cookery. Once you infuse butter with THC, you can add it to any number of recipes to make them magically delicious. Naturally, every cannabis chef and home cook believes that her method for making cannabutter works best. As the author of The Official High Times Cannabis Cookbook, I’ve been approached by people touting dozens of different recipes for the “ultimate cannabutter,” each promising to produce the most potent, tasteless, scentless product possible. I’ve tried many of these recipes at home myself, and they do work. But how well do they work, exactly? To find out, I took butters into my own hands by testing the four top methods side by side using the same basic ingredients in each batch. Aiming to dispel the…

We first met Lauren Downes at the High Times Cannabis Cup in Everett, WA last September. She was responsible for organizing a seminar of experts to discuss “The New Washington Apple”— how to navigate the new recreational pot law that lends itself to success for all stakeholders. It’s something Lauren knows a bit about. She jumped into Washington’s cannabis industry as soon as it became legal in Washington State. Born and raised in Woodinville, part of metropolitan Seattle, Lauren first worked in the coffee and cacao industry, encouraging practices that promote social, economic, environmental sustainability. She then worked in California’s cannabis scene as a budtender and manager in dispensaries in Redding and Shasta. Following extensive travel, especially in the Caribbean, where she’s established a wealth of connections, Lauren accepted a…

EVER SINCE IT first started airing in October 2005, The Colbert Report was one of my all-time-favorite TV shows. And thanks to my friend Jason (a cool Deadhead dude who happened to be an editor on the show), I’ve had the rare pleasure of visiting the set several times over the years—smoking out some of the crew and getting a behind-the-scenes look at a professional cable comedy show. My first visit was on October 17, 2006, which happened to be the show’s first-anniversary episode. Colbert premiered a new drop-down screen, a revised triple self-portrait, and even popped out of a giant cake. That night, I got to eat a piece of their eagle anniversary cake (not the giant one) and film a skit about “Rocktober” (which, sadly, never aired). I…

Lindsay Lohan has again made headlines for using drugs. This time, however, it wasn’t an embarrassment for the oft-troubled 28-year-old actress, since Lohan had a positive, enlightening experience on hallucinogens. In a recent interview with the UK mag Sunday Times Style, Lohan divulged: “I did ayahuasca. It changed my life.” To obtain the South American entheogenic brew, which is made from plants containing the powerful natural hallucinogen DMT, and consume it properly, Lohan consulted a shaman. During her ayahuasca trip, she said she witnessed her own birth and death, which enabled her to shed the “wreckage of my past.” Based on published accounts of ayahuasca trips, it appears that Lohan had a fairly common and beneficial psychedelic experience, which could aid in her recovery from substance abuse. Having recently completed…

Nearly 110,000 cannabis plants were seized by law enforcement in what some are calling the biggest pot bust in Texas history. Local, state and federal authorities teamed up to chop down and haul away the plants from a massive marijuana farm in Lipscomb County, Texas. It took an entire weekend to dismantle the guerrilla grow, which was located in the Texas Panhandle county bordering Oklahoma. No arrests have been reported, but an investigation is underway and the king-sized crop has been transported to the DEA’s Dallas o›ice. Last year’s seizure of 100,197 plants in Polk County, worth roughly $175 million, was believed to be the state’s biggest pot bust prior to this. Imagine the tax dollars those 200,000-plus plants could have reaped for the Texas state treasury in a legal…

One of the most outrageous law-enforcement raids on a legal dispensary in California’s two-decade history of medical marijuana took place in May, when Santa Ana police busted a local pot shop. The raiding officers proceeded to play darts, consume a cannabis edible and mock an amputee patient. The dispensary in question, Sky High Holistic, has filed a lawsuit against the Santa Ana Police Department, the mayor and other city officials. In video footage from the incident, one officer appears to consume a pot-laced “medible,” while two others can be heard disparaging a dispensary volunteer, Marla James, who is legally blind and confined to a wheelchair due to an amputated leg. A male officer asks, “Did you punch that one-legged old Benita?” And a female officer replies, “I was about to…

“I’d rather be illegally alive than legally dead.” That statement by 15-year-old Coltyn Turner, as simple as it is profound, quickly went viral after he spoke those words at a medical marijuana seminar in reference to using cannabis for his Crohn’s disease. Turner was likely afflicted with Crohn’s in 2011, when he nearly drowned and subsequently developed a bacterial infection. Crohn’s is a chronic, inflammatory bowel disease that causes abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea and other nasty symptoms. As recently as 2014, Turner was in a wheelchair after ineffective pharmaceutical drugs left him seriously ill. With Illinois dragging its feet on establishing a viable medical pot program, his family decided to relocate to Colorado last year. Turner started using medical pot in March 2014—and by July he was mountain-climbing! Turner, who…

Seeds & Stems Pendants This chic line of pendants from Ozma (Autonomy) is simple, sustainable and eco-friendly. The resin used, the chain and findings, and the encased seeds and stems are all ethically sourced in Northern California. A nod to the rise of legal marijuana, these elegant and low-key pieces will elicit an approving look from “those who know.” Each pendant is one of a kind and contains three to five seeds, one to three stems, and a tiny amount of weed. $17–$22; ozmaautonomy.com…

Any 24-year-old stoner would jump at the chance to have his own namesake strain, but GRiZ gets to live that dream in overdrive. The Detroit-raised, Denver-based funkster’s GRiZ Kush took home second place at the 2015 Denver Cannabis Cup in the People’s Choice category. In order to win that accolade, GRiZ and his buds at the Colorado dispensary Native Roots employed a finely tuned regimen for selecting his Kush. “They put together an A, B and C jar,” GRiZ recalls. “They said, ‘I want you to taste-test these for a week and write some stuff down.” GRiZ took to the assignment with abandon, depleting the jars and toking hard before coming up with the winner—a cross between Tangerine Haze and Pakistani Chitral Kush. The strain’s hybrid qualities struck the perfect…

Recognizing young talent is one of the best things about the High Times Cannabis Cup competitions. Cory Caudill, a 28-year-old with professional culinary experience, decided to strike out on his own and start Bungles Edibles, a small business he runs completely independently. “Sometimes I’m up until 4 a.m. getting everything packaged,” he says, “but I’m much happier working for myself!” Caudill’s hard work paid off when his debut entry in the 2014 Seattle Cannabis Cup grabbed the judges’ attention due to its incredible originality and interactivity, earning him third place in the Medical Edibles category. Bungles S’Mores Cup was a small chocolate-and-graham-cracker truffle topped by a homemade cannabis-infused marshmallow. The instructions invited users to “Torch me, please!”— and the judges were happy to oblige, using the plentiful torches on hand…

Federal law has been changed to allow Native American tribes to grow marijuana on their territories in states where the practice is legal. Experts expect this to be a boon for jobseekers and entrepreneurs alike. “This could easily generate 100,000 new jobs within a few years,” says WeedHire.com’s David Bernstein. Experts point to the economic impact that legalized gambling on reservations has had for entire communities. According to the National Indian Gaming Commission, since Native American tribes began opening casinos in the late 1970s, the industry has grown to generate some $28 billion in annual revenue and to employ more than 612,000 people. It also pays in excess of $9 billion in local, state and federal taxes. In March, several tribes joined the newly formed National Indian Cannabis Coalition, which…

Ingredients: 1/2 oz. flowers 1 oz. Everclear alcohol in a spray bottle 8 oz. clarified butter 1. Preheat the oven to 240 F. 2. Grind your flowers down in a blender or food processor. Spread the ground flowers evenly on the bottom of a sheet pan and place on the middle rack of an oven. 3. Bake for an hour, stirring once halfway through. Make sure the flowers are evenly spread. 4. Take the pan out of the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, using the spray bottle, spray a fine mist of Everclear alcohol all over the toasted flowers. This helps to break down the cellulose a bit, allowing for a less-green infusion color. If you don’t have a spray bottle, you can simply use a…

It does a body good to be the bearer of glad tidings. To wit: The price of weed is going down. Of course, it depends on whom you ask (and where you ask them), because some claim the price of weed is on the rise—even in trail-blazingly legal Colorado. How to make sense of these disparities? At the end of June, the capital-market watchers at Convergex were reporting that, in Colorado, “an ounce now sells for between $250 and $300 on average, compared to $300–$400 last year.” The market gurus explained that in 2015, producers are “buying additional warehouses and expanding their grow facilities, increasing supply. This is all a function of a maturing market, as dispensaries try to find the market’s equilibrium price.” On the other hand, we also…

I’m arguing about depression and marijuana again. Can you help? Mel N. Cholia Hi Mel, Depressed people often turn to the plant, creating a false correlation between the diagnosis and its use. (I still prefer cognitive-behavioral therapy as a first line of treatment.) But new longitudinal data show—yet again—that cannabis use does not precede or cause the mood disorder. Also, these results appeared in a huge national data set, so the absence of a link didn’t stem from a sample that was too small. If new laws make marijuana use rise, couldn’t it stem from the fact that people are more comfortable telling the truth about their pot use once it’s legalized? U.R. Lion Hi U.R., Good point! Although we actually haven’t seen much of an increase in states with…

Not so long ago, the mainstream media’s depiction of cannabis users was decidedly negative or, if you were lucky, somewhat neutral. But now the ever-changing cultural and political landscape regarding marijuana has caused the media and the topic of cannabis to become fast friends. The coming of age of several pot-friendly generations—the boomers, the X’ers and the millennials—has been responsible for this sea change in terms of more insightful and tolerant views toward cannabis, resulting in the further erosion of prohibition policies and the eradication of anti-cannabis stereotypes. Among the prime examples in the last few years: In the 1980s and ’90s, the New York Times and its editorial page were wildly anti-pot, reflecting the influence of the paper’s longtime editor (and later columnist) A.M. Rosenthal. Fast-forward to 2014, and…

Medical marijuana supporters in Washington State have been reeling since the passage of Senate Bill 5052, which seeks to impose a regulatory framework on the state’s previously unfettered medical marijuana industry. The bill was necessary, its proponents argue, because the lack of regulation has been undercutting the intent of Initiative 502, which legalized the use and sale of recreational cannabis in the Evergreen State. Because of SB 5052, hundreds of retail medical marijuana outlets will be shuttered. Patients who were allowed to cultivate 15 plants and possess 24 ounces of marijuana will now be allowed just six plants and three ounces—provided they join a newly created “voluntary” registry. Meanwhile, the 10-person collective gardens that were allowed under earlier legislation have now become four-person cooperatives restricted to patients 21 or older…

Still thinking about trying those banned fake-weed products like K2 or Spice? Don’t. According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control, 15 people died from using synthetic marijuana in the first five months of 2015. Actual cannabis, meanwhile, has killed no one, ever. Only one of the reported fake-weed deaths involved the use of other drugs. In addition to the jump in fatalities, synthetic pot was also responsible for 3,572 calls to poison centers across the United States from January through May 2015—an increase of nearly 230 percent from the same period in 2014. Most of the calls (over 80 percent) involved men. The average age of the poisoning victims was 26; the primary effects cited were agitation, rapid heartbeat, drowsiness, vomiting and confusion.…

The 2015 Global Drug Survey reports that an increasing number of users are turning to the so-called “dark web” to score, fueling a proliferation of virtual drug bazaars, despite the life sentence handed down to Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht in May. The survey was administered by King’s College London and involved 100,000 drug buyers worldwide. It found that 23 percent of the participants purchased drugs online for the first time in 2014—up from 13 percent just one year prior. The top three most popular drugs on these sites were MDMA (ecstasy), LSD and cannabis. Sweden boasted the highest number of people buying illicit drugs via the Internet. The US came in sixth, with 8 percent of the American respondents saying they bought drugs online in 2014. There are an…

In Colorado, students caught using or selling pot will now be monitored by the state after Governor John Hickenlooper signed the new “Track the Children” bill into law. The bill’s official purpose is to monitor the aftereffects of legalizing recreational cannabis. The new measure also supplements a 2012 law mandating that police and district attorneys gather information on the types of punishment meted out to students busted for pot. The first such disciplinary report is due August 1 and will incorporate data from both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 school years. In Washington, the other state to legalize recreational pot in 2012, authorities tracked marijuana-related punishments for the 2013-14 school year and found that 4,116 students were suspended—and 265 expelled outright—for weed offenses.…

Police Accused in Mexico Massacre Mexican journalist Laura Castellanos released the findings of an explosive new investigation in April, with evidence showing that federal police carried out a massacre of civilians on January 6 in the town of Apatzingán in Michoacán state. There were two shooting incidents that day, everyone agrees. The first took place at the Apatzingán town hall, during a protest against the disbanding of an anti-narco citizens’ militia. The second happened six hours later, when officers fired at a dozen civilian vehicles following a police convoy. Authorities said that nine people were killed in the crossfire, all of them members of a narco-gang called Los Viagras. The new investigation, which appeared in the newsweekly Proceso, was based on months of interviews with witnesses and survivors (mostly anonymous,…

Some tattooers pick a style and stick with it, but Denver-based Destroy Troy would rather keep fusing different influences to create an aesthetic all his own. Starting off in the traditional vein during his early career in Kansas City, he’s since evolved to incorporate elements of pop surrealism, black-dot work and bold colors into his designs. The Japanese-born artist isn’t merely covered in tattoos; he’s layered with them. And since settling in Colorado, he’s found a new passion beyond ink: growing his own cannabis. Reinvigorated by the local legalization movement, Destroy Troy continues to hone his craft at the tattoo shop Til Death Denver. What’s been the biggest influence on your tattoo style? I traveled around a while when I started tattooing. I spent a little bit of time in…

When the Brookings Institution, the elite think tank with an address on Embassy Row in Washington, DC, advises college grads to get into the cannabis industry, the paradigm shift has officially occurred. John Hudak, a fellow at Brookings who studied Colorado’s legalization of the plant, noted the job opportunities that the industry presents to younger workers. “That can be a real economic positive in a state trying to find jobs for young people,” he told Bloomberg Business, “and for an industry that doesn’t require a college degree to do a job or extensive training except for higher agriculture.” Indeed, starting wages in Colorado’s cannabis industry average $10 per hour—25 percent higher than the state minimum wage of $8. In its short but heady history, the legal cannabis industry has been…

Be willing to start at the bottom. If they don’t have specialized skills, many people get a foot in the door as trimmers or in a retail sales capacity. Know the product. A passion for cannabis and an understanding of the terminology and the consumer culture are assets. Be professional. Stalk the law. Legislation and regulations are changing constantly and vary from state to state. This information is critical to cannabusiness owners and workers. Combine academics with real-world experience. such as a horticulture degree along with growhouse experience. Think outside the box. Ancillary businesses such as marketing, accounting, packaging, water filtration, design and manufacturing are all enjoying increased opportunities thanks to the cannabis industry’s growth. Network. Whether it’s through your social circles, the cannabis classes or school you’re attending, or…

SUBJECT: Seedy FROM: scubadiver I produce otherwise good buds from my The Doctor strain, but almost every time, in the last few weeks of flowering my plant starts to develop seeds, and I have to cut them down before it’s right time. Why is this happening, even when I don’t have male plants in my indoor garden? Dear scubadiver, Somehow, pollen is getting onto your female plants. This could be from outside, as pollen is very light and can travel many miles on a breeze. If there are hemp fields or clandestine outdoor guerrilla gardens nearby, the pollen could easily float into your intake fan and seed up your crop. The other possibility is that your plants are hermaphrodites. That means they share male and female flowers and can thus…

Those new to the process of dabbing can sometimes get a little freaked out by what they see: Blowtorches, glowing hot metal and butane cans surely come across as much more threatening than the simple joints and bowls of yesteryear. However, these people seem to be fairly comfortable with the old-school toking method known as “hot-knifing” (possibly because it brings out every stoner’s inner biker/cowboy). Yet despite the dab novice’s comfort level, hot-knifing uses the same basic technique to get you high: heat a bit of metal, apply your hash and inhale the vapor. So, with that in mind, let’s take a quick tour of the gradual innovations that have brought us to where we are on the dab scene today. The Hot Knife It’s crude, it’s basic, and it’s…

Destiny Young ran a childcare facility out of her home in Texas, but her outspoken opposition to America’s marijuana laws caused it to be shut down. It was a lesson in how blindly and fiercely our nation’s social workers and childcare officials continue to embrace anti-cannabis propaganda. Young now serves as the membership director for Texas NORML. Through her activism, she’s discovered a talent for information and data management. Her ability to implement a membership incentive program and to streamline internal systems management has resulted in an explosion of new members. Most recently, she’s worked closely with activists in San Antonio to revitalize the marijuana-law reform efforts in the nation’s seventh-largest city, including the launch of a bilingual website and a new outreach program. Young is adamant about educating law-enforcement…
