I went to a weed conference in midtown Manhattan on Monday afternoon, and I left with …weed. This really happened. Even though I’ve had success getting people to trust and open up to me in the past, I thought it would be kind of obvious if, at a weed conference, people would be comping me […]
Behold the “Mask of Moldauthein.” First spotted by Weedist, this frightening-looking facial apparatus is actually a pipe that can be worn and smoked out of at the same time, because of course it can. Crafted by advanced glassblowing artisan Etai Rahmil, the fully functional mask was specifically designed for the dabs, a highly concentrated weed […]

The high school girl accidentally left her notebook at school last year, when it was discovered and read by school […]
Opponents of cannabis legalization are turning to academics with impressive resumes and titles to push the line that cannabis — the drug with not a single known case of deadly overdose — is unsafe and dangerous.

As more and more states decriminalize and legalize weed, the Northeastern Institute of Cannabis (NIC) in Natick, Massachusetts is trying to get in that other increasingly profitable field — education.
