Stop Smoking Marijuana
A Field Guide to American Weed for World Cup Visitors
The Washington State Department of Health just published a health advisory for FIFA World Cup visitors. It includes the standard warnings: start low, go slow, don’t drive, don’t mix with alcohol, edibles can take three hours and last up to 24. It is responsible, accurate, and completely inadequate for anyone who has never encountered what’s […]
Green Over Grain: Why a Generation Chose Cannabis over Alcohol and What Do We Do Now?
Two trend lines. Twenty-two years of data. They couldn’t be moving in more opposite directions. According to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), past-year cannabis use among Americans 12 and older climbed from 11.0% in 2002 to 22.3% in 2024 — a 103% increase. Over roughly the same period, past-month alcohol use […]
If Cannabis Is So Dangerous, Why Does Science Keep Saying the Opposite?
Ever since the War on Drugs began, marijuana has been portrayed as an extremely dangerous drug. Organizations and governments spent millions of dollars on anti-marijuana campaigns, and even enlisted the education system, trying to warn students that smoking weed was a gateway to harmful substances and other drugs. Meanwhile, millions of innocent people were arrested […]
What Pre-Roll Complaints Reveal About Your Manufacturing Process
Pre-roll complaints do not always show up the way other product issues do. A failed device may come back to the store. A vape problem may create a clearer return path. A broken package or hardware issue is easier to document. Pre-rolls are different. They are also too important to treat casually. In Headset’s recent […]
The Neo AI Renaissance: What It Means for Creatives and the World We’re Walking Into
I know. You’re tired of hearing about AI. Half your feed is either someone gushing about their AI-generated side hustle or someone else losing their mind because a machine wrote a poem. The discourse has collapsed into two camps: the breathlessly optimistic and the chronically offended, and somehow neither side is saying anything useful about […]
The Mellow High Effect: Why Your Cannabis Highs Taper Off After 25
I’m 42. I’ve been smoking since before I was 16. And I will never again get as high as I did that first year. That’s not a complaint. It’s not even a loss, once you understand what was actually happening. But most long-term users chalk the change up to “tolerance” and leave it there, which […]
The Cannabis Rescheduling Theater: Same Play, Different Costumes, DEA Writes the Script
The DEA announced the participants for its upcoming cannabis rescheduling hearing. June 2026. Momentous occasion, right? The machinery of federal government finally grinding toward something resembling justice for a plant that’s been federally prohibited for over fifty years. Except only opponents of rescheduling were invited. That’s not an exaggeration or a framing choice. The Drug […]
How Cannabis Operators Can Build a Tech Stack That Actually Drives ROI
Technology is a major expense for cannabis businesses today. But with shrinking margins and heavy competition, operators cannot afford to waste money on software that doesn’t perform. The big question for leadership is no longer about adopting technology; it is about ensuring that technology solves real daily headaches rather than just adding to the confusion. […]
GANJA THEORIES: Open Source Government -The Code That Could Replace Congress
There is a GitHub repository that most people will scroll past without a second thought. It has no viral tweet driving traffic to it, no venture capital backing, no government grant. What it does have is an idea worth sitting with, maybe the most consequential one to emerge from the margins of political philosophy in […]
What Is Industrial Hemp? Evgeny Skigin Explains Why the World’s Most Useful Crop Is Finally Having Its Moment
When Evgeny Skigin started working with industrial hemp in 2008, the crop was widely dismissed in European finance as an agricultural curiosity with limited commercial potential. Sixteen years later, France alone harvests roughly 23,000 hectares of hemp annually, and the European market for industrial hemp products is projected to expand from $3.6 billion to $25 […]
