AS I CRACK OPEN A JAR OF CANNABIS FIRST THING IN THE morning, the smell that greets me is my initial indicator that this botanical can boost my mood. Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give cannabis its scent and taste. But, as it turns out, they also play a large role in marijuana’s effects. As cannabis horticulture authority Ed Rosenthal explains, THC is the engine that drives the high, but the odor molecules determine which road we’ll take. In my case, today’s selection is a cultivar called Morning Cuddle from Briceland Forest Farm. It’s a Cuddlebud x Koffee cross putting off aromas of grapefruit layered over a hint of dank gas. The bud is tight and dense in a shade of dark green with a threading of orange hairs,…

We’d love to grab a sample nug of “Gank Original,” bred with the parents TGA Agent Orange x Original Gorilla Glue, and see what all the hype is about. This is quite a lovely specimen, grown in Oklahoma. This purpleheavy shot was captured and grown by @zosocannabis, complete with plum hues and lavender accents. Purpling is caused by a compound in the plant called anthocyanins and can also occur due to low temps or a phosphorus deficiency. ZOSO Cannabis is a high lifestyle brand that breeds and crafts all natural medical cannabis in the Sooner State.…

The co-founders of the cannabis brand Swami Select, Nikki Lastreto and Swami Chaitanya, have spent many years on a spiritual path that includes residing in India, frequently visiting temples, and conversing with holy men. When their journey brought them back to California, they created a sanctuary with a unique, spiritual approach to growing cannabis. With Swami Select, they pride themselves in embracing regenerative farming and praise cannabis as a way to heighten the senses and connect with others, as well as the world around them. Lastreto and Chaitanya took time to chat with High Times about the events that led to the origin of their brand, their unique approach to cannabis cultivation, and how the herb brings people together. “THIS IS SUCH A PASSION FOR ALL OF US AND A…

EDIBLES IN CALIFORNIA, IT’S CALLED CALI SOBER, BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD PEOPLE ARE SWITCHING FROM ALCOHOL to cannabis-infused beverages, purposefully doing away with drunkenness, cognitive fumbling, and stumbling—and possibly that walk of shame the next morning—along with the hangovers. "Harm reduction" is the new buzzword for switching to weed, with people across the country choosing the plant over booze, stating it makes them better people, parents, and partners. “When working with cannabis in a cocktail, don’t mask the flavor of cannabis, complement it.” A Nose for Flavor Wi ne specialist and sommelier turned cannabis beverage connoisseur, Jamie Evans, founded The Herb Somm in 2017. The blog and lifestyle brand hosts high-end, gourmet cannabis-infused dinners curated with wine and cannabis. Her first book, The Ultimate Guide to CBD: Explore the…

1 REEFER MAN - CAB CALLOWAY Originally titled Have You Ever Met That Funny Reefer Man, this song was written in 1932 by J. Russel Robinson, with lyrics by Andy Razaf, and recorded by Cab Calloway. As the song was written five years before the Marihuana Tax Act—reefer was still legal in almost all of America at the time. It was first recorded by Calloway, with several popular covers, including one by Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. Calloway lived a long life—long enough to appear in the 1980 Saturday Night Live-inspired film The Blues Brothers. 2 YOU’SE A VIPER - STUFF SMITH In Harlem, New York, people started calling reefer smokers “vipers” in the 1920s and 1930s. “Viper culture” was centered on good jazz music and reefer. This classic B-side was first…

BOTTOMS UP! “If Jones Soda can get into the cannabiz, I would be down to also see non-cannabis companies like Starbucks or Twix bars or those tasty little dinosaur-shaped nuggets.” -Jeffrey, New Mexico RESPONSE: One day, dude. One day it will happen! We’re probably a way off from seeing legit infused products from those big companies you mentioned, but once federal legalization happens (and at this point it’s not an “if,” it’s a “when”) that will be the catalyst for infused foods and drinks. For now, Jones Soda’s “Mary Jones” line is a fun spinoff company with a lot of potential and we’re definitely looking forward to seeing how that goes. (Plus, have you tried a Jones Soda? That berry lemonade flavor is BOMB.) THE GOOD OLD DAYS “I miss…

For the second straight month, THMQ history was made, as the Western market rose above the $300 mark, finishing at $303 per average ounce. Conversely, the South vacated its one-month stay at the sub-$300 level, rising to $312 an ounce. This inflation was offset somewhat by the East market dropping $16, to $335 a typical zip. These extremes drove up the cost of an ounce of cannabis across America to $317. Apple strains reigned supreme in June, reflected by Apple Fritter’s domination of the Top 5.

IT WAS A BRISK MARCH EVENING, AND I was in major crunch mode. Working for multiple magazines means multiple deadlines, uploads and editing blocks, often overlapping, making for a frustrating haze in my head. To top it off, I was getting ready to go on tour with my band and cramming all my work into an even more tight timeframe. Hunter S. Thompson’s famous quote “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro” doesn’t even begin to describe how I was feeling. I was truly firing on all cylinders, doing vocals, playing bass, then running back upstairs to write another story or edit something else, keeping an eye on the clock the entire time. So, as excited as I was when I learned that my wonderful new editor had…

THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB It’s hard to imagine a time when certain celebrities were teenagers with normal jobs. Sometimes we see glimpses of an old yearbook photo of them in their youth, and sometimes, we hear that an individual’s past has led to a unique business partnership. Recent news trending in March put the spotlight on cannabis-infused drink company Cann co-founder Luke Anderson, who shared with the New York Post that actress Gwyneth Paltrow was his babysitter when he was a kid. At first, as Anderson recalls Paltrow saying “Oh my God, you’re that kid I used to babysit a lot!” when they reconnected in late 2020. However, even though they share a history, when Anderson initially asked Paltrow to invest in his business she said no. Anderson noted that Paltrow…

What’s the deal on legalization and crime? - Blaze Diablo At least one study focused on Washington and Oregon suggests that rape and theft dropped after the legalization of cannabis, as did alcohol and hard drug use. Generally, a legal source can reduce opiate addiction, which usually correlates with property crime. Crime tends to drop near the Mexican border after legalization, for reasons we can only guess. None of the effects are huge, and some studies show no effects, but the sky sure didn’t fall the way prohibitionists said it would.

L.A. Cultivators, Jungle Boys, Raided Over Bogus Late Fees TLC, home of the Jungle Boys, was raided by law enforcement over a $66,000 bill, which the collective had already disputed, and had a hearing date set. The dispensary was raided by The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) on March 1. TLC is famously the headquarters of the Jungle Boys, one of the premier examples of urban farmers bootstrapping their way to success in the modern cannabis industry. Eventually, the TLC team would discover the raid was all caused by a fine discrepancy with the CDTFA from when their offices were closed during the pandemic and dispensaries couldn’t pay taxes in cash. Despite the $18 million the CDTFA received from the Jungle Boys last year, they decided to…

Comedian Christina Pazsitzky—known professionally as Christina P—is no stranger to the time management game. When we connect by phone, she’s juggling her obligations to her husband (fellow comedian, Tom Segura), her kids, the dogs, and her career—all of which require time, energy, and attention. Desiring some “mom” time, her son interrupts the beginning of the conversation, and Pazsitzky politely explains, “I have to do this interview. I’ll come talk to you, give me a half an hour.” The interaction is just one example of how the co-host of the hugely successful podcast Your Mom’s House—which she hosts with Segura—is able to wear many hats and handle a variety of different responsibilities, all which can be managed with time. “Everything is planned, everything is on schedule, and you give everything time.…

NEWS THE BABY-SITTERS CLUB Gwyneth Paltrow babysat Cann co-founder. p. 120 NEWS NO CBD PRESS FOR BILL Former President Bill Clinton on CBD. p. 124 SOUTH DAKOTA ISN’T USUALLY ASSOCIATED AS A CANNABIS battleground, but this year, dozens of cannabis bills filed in the legislative session that ended on March 29. Cannabis advocates in the state, however, must wait until the next legislative session this fall before they have another shot at legalizing adult-use cannabis. Voters already approved adult-use two years ago, but several setbacks later, the fight is still on to move an undisputed bill across the finish line. South Dakota voters approved adult-use with a constitutional amendment in November 2020. But the amendment was quickly struck down the following February, and again by the South Dakota Supreme Court on…
