As the air gets sharp and leaves crunch underfoot, fall calls for a smoke session that faces the chill head-on. Some folks turn it into a whole damn event, while others take it outdoors to avoid stinking up the house, keep it kid-friendly, or just breathe some fresh, cold air. With the right setup, you can make an outdoor session comfortable and badass. Here’s everything you need to gear up, light up, and blaze against the season.

Cold weather demands gear that can take a hit. Throw on the hoodies, jackets, and thermals, anything that keeps you warm without bogging you down. For your hands, fingerless gloves are a solid choice; they keep your fingers free to roll a joint or hold a vape without numbing out.

Then, there’s the lighter because cold winds don’t play nice. Go for windproof options like torch lighters or electric arc lighters. And if you’re planning to sit down, avoid that cold, damp ground unless you like numb legs. Keep a lightweight blanket or poncho in your bag for warmth and comfort when the ground’s as unforgiving as the weather.

Simplicity wins outdoors. Vapes and pre-rolls are easy to carry, quick to hit, and don’t mess with the vibe like a bulky bong would. Grab a solid, battery-powered vape that can take the cold without draining halfway through your session. And don’t let the chill wreck your stash. Cold air will suck the life out of your buds, so bring a smell-proof, insulated container to keep everything fresh. No one wants harsh, dried-out hits when they’re trying to relax.

Lean into the season with strains that vibe with fall. Earthy, spiced flavors, think Northern Lights or Afghan Kush, are a perfect match for the season. These strains hit warm and easy, making chilly nights a whole lot cozier. Indica-dominant strains are the move for a laid-back, slow burn. They’re ideal for wrapping up in a blanket or chilling by the fire, letting the high sink in as you settle into the cold.

Reefer Report Card Vol. 28: The Rescheduling That Wasn’t

This week’s Reefer Report Card cuts through the hype around cannabis “rescheduling,” exposing how a label change left federal prohibition fully intact. Arrest authority, workplace punishment, and immigration penalties remain untouched. Headlines claimed progress. Reality delivered none. A week defined by performance over policy, and reform that never arrived.

THE SCHEDULE III SCAM

Federal officials claim cannabis is moving forward, but Schedule III changes nothing that matters. This investigation breaks down what rescheduling actually does, what it deliberately avoids, and why prohibition logic remains intact. Arrests continue. Markets remain conflicted. Reform language replaces reform action. The system shifts labels while preserving control.

LEGAL WEED, OLD RULES

Legalization promised freedom but preserved prohibition logic. This investigation examines how cannabis reform left arrests, racial disparities, job punishment, medical blame, and equity barriers intact. By tracing enforcement, employment law, healthcare practice, and licensing rules, it shows how legalization changed the label without dismantling the system.


Cold nights call for hot drinks. Sip on hot chocolate, spiced cider, or herbal tea to keep the cold from creeping in. If you want to up the ante, throw in a few drops of cannabis tincture or oil, just dose carefully. For next-level munchies, you need to bring the right snacks. Infused popcorn with cinnamon sugar or pretzels with spicy mustard are easy to munch on, even with cold hands. And for fall-inspired recipes, check out High on Fall: Cannabis-Infused Recipes to Ignite Your Season right here: Read it here.

Bring the heat if you’re in for a long session. Portable heaters or fire pits are clutch when the temperature drops. Just remember, don’t be an idiot, keep it safe, and avoid setting anything on fire. Cold air can intensify your high, so don’t overdo it. Start low, go slow, and let the high build instead of rushing it. When you’re done, having a warm spot, a heated space, or a heavy blanket to wrap up in after a cold smoke is a must.

Pick your scene: a hidden forest spot, a lakeside view, or a quiet backyard setup. The right spot takes the session from good to epic. And don’t forget to bring your favorite tunes to set the right vibe, whether it’s acoustic, lo-fi, or heavy beats; music sets the mood right.

Fall is a prime season to take your smoke sessions outside. With the right gear, a solid choice of strains, and essentials that keep you warm, blazing in the cold has its own magic. So layer up, fire up, and blaze through the season with style.

THE PRODUCT THEY NEVER TEST

Hospitals increasingly diagnose Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome without testing the cannabis products involved. This investigation examines how cartridges, edibles, and other cannabis materials are excluded from medical evaluation, despite known contamination risks, leaving patients with diagnoses based on symptoms and self reported use rather than verified evidence.

THE CON OF CANNABIS REFORM

Cannabis rescheduling keeps resurfacing in headlines, then vanishing without action. This feature breaks down how federal officials repeatedly float reform language, let deadlines pass, and leave the law untouched. By tracing the mechanics behind the stall, the piece exposes why delay is intentional, who benefits from it, and why cannabis reform remains trapped in federal…

Ohio Tightens Screws On Legal Weed

Ohio voters approved legalization, but lawmakers followed with Senate Bill 56, a measure that tightens control through enforcement expansion, licensing caps, and market restrictions.
