What’s […]
In a directive that came from Mayor Bill de Blasio’s office and that is being viewed through the prism of race, the NYPD has been told to stop arresting people for low-level amounts of weed, according to the New York Post. And of course the Post’s sources are spinning this as a move de Blasio […]
Tuesday was election day, and many things “changed,” while many things stayed the same. Voters had the chance to decide on legalizing weed in three states and one city-state.

According to DomainInvesting.com, Russian company the Weed Growth Fund purchased the domain name from Schutlz’s Blue String Ventures for […]
Weed smoking and street art are two subcultures currently enjoying huge waves of popularity, so it only make sense that someone would combine them both, and that’s exactly what Mighty Tanaka did for its latest offering: collectible glass weed pipes. The Brooklyn gallery commissioned a collaboration between glass artist Zach Puchowitz and street artist L’amour […]
Mayor Bill de Blasio’s administration is on course to equal the number of petty weed arrests as Bloomberg’s. According to a new report by the Drug Policy Alliance, by this time last year, the NYPD had made 20,080 arrests for pot possession as opposed to 19,684 in 2014 — a difference of just 396. That […]
There are some corners of the U.S. with so much weed that connoisseurs are turning their THC-rich stashes of dabs into sculptures, like this Millennium Falcon.
