The Water Rule That’s Crushing Cannabis in New Mexico

Three large water storage tanks sit in a dry, scrub-covered desert landscape under a golden sky, with distant mountains on the horizon. The scene evokes rural New Mexico. Bold white text reads, “The Water Rule That’s Crushing Cannabis in New Mexico.” Pot Culture Magazine’s logo, website, and copyright appear near the bottom.

New Mexico's cannabis market faces a crisis due to water hauling bans, impacting small operators while corporate farms remain unaffected. Regulatory confusion and inadequate support threaten local growers, leading to closures and potential lawsuits. The situation emphasizes the need for proper infrastructure to support small businesses in the evolving cannabis landscape.

Smoke, Sweat, and Salvation at the New Orleans Jazz Fest

The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival hit like a fever dream—blazing heat, blunt smoke, and a human tidal wave of sunburns and sound. Between bad covers, hybrid spritzers, and Revivalist-induced nausea, survival became the mission. Then Dave Matthews hit the stage, and the crowd cracked wide open. What followed was funk, fatigue, and chaos you don’t walk away clean from.

Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie Review: Brotherly Love, Bullsh*t, and the Long Strange Trip Home

A colorful movie poster for “Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie.” The artwork shows Tommy Chong and Cheech Marin sitting in a classic car, smiling and laughing as Chong holds a snack bag. A large silver cannabis leaf hood ornament is centered on the car. The sky is pastel with palm trees, desert hills, and a woman in the background. Text at the top reads “Cheech Marin, Tommy Chong – Cheech & Chong’s Last Movie.” At the bottom: “Exclusively in theaters April 25. Bring a bud & see it first on 4/20!” The license plate reads “KPSMOKN.”

Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie isn’t a stoner flick, it’s a raw, trippy confessional from two counterculture icons who shaped comedy and cannabis forever. With Dave Bushell behind the camera, the film blends archival chaos, animation, and unresolved tension into a story about brotherhood, pain, and legacy. It's not just a documentary. It’s an honest trip home.
