To help make your holidaze more "dazey," I've crafted five festive recipes that combine seasonal favorites with our favorite herb. These dishes aren't just about getting high – they're about creating memorable experiences and new traditions

What they discovered was both illuminating and validating for many psychonauts. The researchers identified four main themes in how people cope with challenging experiences. First, there's what they called "Inner Responses" - think meditation, self-talk, and making meaning from the chaos. Then there's "Embodied Practice and Environment Engagement" - basically, using breathing techniques, movement, and connecting with your surroundings to ground yourself.

When Natural Natural announced they'd developed a strain containing 15-20% THCV, it raised more than a few eyebrows in the cannabis community. For context, most strains contain only trace amounts of THCV, typically less than 1%. Creating a strain with these levels while maintaining an 8-week flowering time is nothing short of revolutionary.

Convenience is key when purchasing cannabis. Delivery services have made it easier than ever. With cannabis delivery now legal, you can browse online, place your order, and have it delivered straight to your door. Just ensure you're available to provide identification and sign upon delivery. Many dispensaries also offer the option to prepay online, which can be more practical since some delivery services don’t always accept cash.

For those who don't know who Pam Bondi is (and I suspect that's quite a few of you), buckle up. We're about to take a journey through her career, her stance on cannabis, and what her potential appointment might mean for the future of marijuana reform in America. From her time as Florida's top prosecutor to her role in Trump's first term, there's quite a bit to unpack here.

However - and this is crucial - cannabis isn't a magic eraser for trauma. I've spoken with countless veterans who use cannabis, and they're the first to tell you: the plant helps manage symptoms, but it doesn't "cure" PTSD. Real healing requires doing the hard work of processing and integrating traumatic experiences. Cannabis is more like a helpful companion on that journey rather than the destination itself.

However, while Meta-owned platforms like Instagram continue their puzzling crusade against legal cannabis businesses, a surprising ally has emerged: X (formerly Twitter). Under Elon Musk's leadership, the platform has taken a more rational approach to cannabis content, allowing businesses and advocacy groups to operate with relative freedom. It's a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stifling social media landscape.

President-elect Donald Trump’s key appointments for roles in the Department of Justice, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have sparked significant concern among cannabis advocates. Pam Bondi, Dave Weldon, and Dr. Marty Makary—Trump’s picks for Attorney General, CDC Director, and FDA Commissioner, respectively—have all expressed strong opposition to marijuana reform. Throw that in with Trump's VP, JD Vance, saying that all marijuana is laced with Fentanyl now, and you get the point.

The notion that smoking cannabis inevitably leads to lower IQ has been repeated so often it's taken on a life of its own. But what does the science actually say? A fascinating new study from Denmark, following over 5,000 men across four decades, has not only challenged this assumption but turned it on its head. Surprisingly, the research suggests that cannabis users experienced less cognitive decline over time compared to their non-using counterparts.

Now, after nearly twenty years of various forms of legalization across different states, we're discovering something fascinating: cannabis isn't a gateway drug at all - it's more like an exit ramp. Fresh data suggests that good ol' Mary Jane might actually be helping people reduce their dependence on genuinely dangerous substances like alcohol and opioids. Talk about a plot twist, eh?
