When Nelson gets stoned, it’s not recreational use, he says in an 2016 interview with The Cannabist: “It’s medicine, and it’s already been proven to be medicine. End of story.” Cannabis cures what ails him, Nelson says, and it also keeps him from getting into the trouble he used to get into with beer and whiskey and cigarettes.

Years of scientific research suggest that many of these naturally occurring and chemically-unique molecules, called cannabinoids, can have a measurable and significant impact on your high.
Summer is almost here! Long, sun-soaked days and cool, starry nights are on the horizon. Not to mention dozens of new strains and cannabis products to choose from! So, what should you be smoking this summer? What tasty edibles or cartridges should you bring to the picnic or BBQ?
Read MoreEvery stoner, new and old, has heard of the sativa flower strain Acapulco Gold. It’s a strain that’s taken on a life entirely of its own. It is renowned throughout much of the world for its potency, its sweet, earthy flavors, and its unmistakably unique, almost psychedelic, effects. It has been featured in several movies (most notably Cheech & Chong’s timeless comedy Up In Smoke) and TV shows, and rumor has it that Acapulco Gold was delivered in the 1960s as a wedding gift to future Vice President Dan Quayle (or so the story goes).

Read MoreSimply put, weed is pretty! Ask any stoner about the first time they laid eyes on the mysterious plant: Most will recount long hours of their misspent youth gazing longingly at pictures in High Times or Dope magazine. The vibrant collage of tall and sinewy stalks juxtaposed against short, shrubby plants, even in print, can be a beautiful sight.
