HELLO SUMMER: High Tides, Higher Rebellion (June 2025 Cover)

^{Filed Under: Sun, Smoke & Rebellion}

It’s June. The pre-rolls are packed, the pool is warm, and rebellion is floating in the deep end.

For this month’s cover, we’re done with subtle. We’ve done the high-concept, the hand-planted symbolism, the layered metaphors. But sometimes you don’t need a whole damn dissertation to spark a conversation. Sometimes all it takes is a woman, a joint, and a watermelon float.

Yes, it’s summer. But this isn’t a lifestyle shoot. This cover is about defiance dressed as leisure. It’s a nod to every person who’s been told to tone it down, hide it, go inside, keep it low. She’s doing none of that. She’s in the sun, unapologetic, and lighting up in plain sight. That’s what legalization was supposed to look like. And in a time when we’re watching rollbacks, reclassifications, and the ghosts of prohibition try to slink back into the room, we’re reminding you what freedom still looks like.

We kept the aesthetic bold. A sharp, photo-real color grade. Clean type. A background that practically begs you to jump in. No clutter. No apologies. Just attitude and sun, and smoke. Because the truth is, this summer is going to set the tone for a lot of what’s coming next.

Rescheduling news is on deck. Federal movement is being teased. Meanwhile, local crackdowns and corporate nonsense keep trying to turn cannabis into a gated product line. But our culture doesn’t sit quietly while decisions get made behind closed doors. We throw the curtains in the pool and light one up.

So yeah, this is the June cover. And she’s not asking for permission.

High tides, higher rebellion.
