I do not usually bring my private life into Pot Culture Magazine, but my family is facing a serious medical situation.
My wife was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and will be undergoing major surgery, followed by a recovery period expected to last several weeks. During that time, our household income and daily life will be under real pressure.
Pot Culture Magazine remains independent, reader-supported, and built without corporate backing. I am going to do everything I can to keep publishing through this period, but I also need to be honest with the readers who have supported this work.
If Pot Culture Magazine matters to you, and you can help, any support right now would mean a great deal.
