BLACKLIGHT: Iconography of the Gentrified Stoner

A dramatic, neon-lit portrait of a bearded man with glasses, illuminated in deep blue and red tones against a dark background. Large glowing red text at the top reads “BLACKLIGHT.” At the bottom left, bold white and red text reads “Iconography of the Gentrified Stoner.” Pot Culture Magazine branding and the ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept credit appear along the bottom.

A Blacklight investigation into how celebrity cannabis branding has warped the meaning of icon and overshadowed the activists, caregivers, and families who carried the plant through criminalization. This feature exposes the cultural amnesia that elevates market-friendly faces while burying the movement’s real architects and the sacrifices that made modern legalization possible.

THE NEW YORK POST Vs. THE FACTS

A Pot Culture Magazine feature graphic showing a dimly lit newsroom with rows of monitors and a stack of documents on a desk in the foreground. Bold white text reads “THE NY POST VS. THE FACTS.” Below it, smaller white text states that the Post claims New York is facing a wave of cannabis poisoned teens, but the data says otherwise. Pot Culture Magazine branding appears in the lower right corner, with the website and ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept along the bottom.

The New York Post claims New York is facing a wave of cannabis poisoned teenagers, but the data says otherwise. Teen cannabis use is falling, most exposure calls involve toddlers, and the Post inflated and misrepresented key numbers to manufacture panic. This feature dismantles the fear narrative with verifiable facts, national trends, and hard receipts.

The Weed Made Me Do It

A Pot Culture Magazine feature image showing a young woman aiming a handgun directly toward the camera, her face tense and determined under warm amber light. The headline reads “The Weed Made Me Do It” with a copper “CRIME” tag above. Branding and copyright appear along the bottom

A Wisconsin shooting turns into another propaganda rerun. Police said marijuana made her paranoid. The media agreed before the evidence even landed.

VA’s Weed War Only Hurts Veterans

A Pot Culture Magazine feature image showing a U.S. veteran in fatigues seated against a dark olive wall. He rests his head on one hand while holding a small cannabis bud in the other, symbolizing conflict and healing. Bold gold text above reads: “VA’S WEED WAR HURTS VETERANS.” Branding at the bottom reads “PotCultureMagazine.com | ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept.

Veterans are still denied access to the cannabis that could help them heal. Despite legalization across most of America, the VA clings to outdated federal law, blocking its doctors from recommending or prescribing marijuana. Lawmakers praise veterans in public while denying them the right to the medicine that works. The hypocrisy is staggering.

The South’s Quiet Cannabis Rebellion

An American flag waves in front of a Southern-style government building at sunset, with a large cannabis leaf overlay in the foreground. The text reads “The South’s Quiet Cannabis Shift,” under the category tag “Politics.” The image represents shifting attitudes toward cannabis reform in southern U.S. states. PotCultureMagazine.com and ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept appear at the bottom.

Across Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, quiet legalization is replacing old fear. Dispensaries open, hemp farms thrive, and police turn away from small possession. Lawmakers who once preached prohibition now profit from regulation. The Bible Belt’s cannabis rebellion is alive and growing, and the South is no longer waiting for Washington to catch up.

No One’s Giving Away $60 Gummies, Karen

A Halloween scene featuring a bowl of assorted candy on a porch, lit by a glowing jack-o’-lantern in the background. The image includes visible candy brands and a “Trick or Treat” sign. The warm lighting and fall atmosphere emphasize the message printed above: “No one’s giving away $60 gummies, Karen.” The Pot Culture Magazine logo and copyright credit appear at the bottom.

Each October, the same urban legend returns: strangers handing out weed candy. NORML and UVA Health say it’s pure fiction. No one’s giving away $60 gummies, but accidental ingestion is real, driven by bad packaging and lazy storage. The true Halloween threat isn’t monsters or dealers, it’s fear and ignorance disguised as public safety.
