Now 71, Chicago-born Jim Belushi is having a moment with roles in two current films – Kristen Stewart’s The Chronology of Water, in which he plays counterculture legend Ken Kesey, and the pop musical, Song Sung Blue, co-starring Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman. https://youtube.com/watch?v=eD8PRnAtxvE&feature=oembed Before Belushi moved to Oregon and launched his cannabis company
Isaac Brock is holed up in his Portland studio, Ice Cream Party, which is essentially a multi-level playground for musicians. Surrounded by a collection of guitars, an array of colorful pedals and a treasure trove of Modest Mouse ephemera, Brock cracks a Guinness, a beer he says he only drinks during interviews. Before he finishes
It wasn’t a cannabis competition. It wasn’t a weed expo. It was a traditional, old-school horticulture trade fair. Think geraniums, tomatoes, ornamental breeding programs, and irrigation systems. And still, a cannabis plant came out on top. At this year’s edition of IPM Essen, the world’s leading horticulture trade show held annually in Germany, a strain
For decades, cannabis marketing trained consumers to chase numbers. THC percentages became shorthand for potency, quality, and value. But if you’re one of those people who still crack a jar and give it a good whiff before deciding what to buy, you’re not stuck in the past. You’re just ahead of the science. Today, smell
On February 7, High Times is bringing the New York Cannabis Cup Awards Night to Sony Hall, turning one of Manhattan’s most iconic venues into a full-spectrum celebration of weed, culture and community.

Tegridy Farms turned South Park’s most unpredictable character into a one-note caricature, mirroring how cannabis capitalism hollowed out something that once felt alive. There’s a popular Toy Story meme on the internet where Andy, in a moment of self-improvement, drops Woody because he’s done, he’s served his purpose, and, because that’s life, he makes room
When California legalized adult-use cannabis, it did something bold and imperfect. It moved faster than science. That was not recklessness. It was necessity. For decades, federal law treated cannabis as a Schedule I substance, effectively blocking large-scale, real-world research into its health, economic, environmental, and social effects. States that chose legalization were forced to build
As the cannabis industry professionalizes, consolidates, and globalizes, a basic question still goes unanswered far too often:Who built this space, and who paid the price before it became profitable? To mark Black History Month and its 10th anniversary, Minorities for Medical Marijuana (M4MM) has released its inaugural Power 100, recognizing 100 Black leaders whose work
More people are turning to cannabis for sleep than ever before, and it’s not hard to understand why. Between demanding work schedules, constant connectivity, and ongoing social, political, and economic stress, quality sleep has become increasingly elusive. Add in factors like chronic pain, menopause, or aging, and sleep deprivation starts to look less like a
