Idaho, Massachusetts, and Houston faced three different cannabis votes on Election Day, but each came down to political power.

Pot Culture Magazine reviews The Curse of Lono, Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman’s savage Hawaiian collision of marathon reporting, drug-fueled chaos, colonial history, and Gonzo mythology.

A major new cannabis violence study found a real association between marijuana use and violent behavior. But the headline number hides weaker longitudinal results, missing dose and potency data, unresolved alcohol effects, and decades of prohibition tangled inside the evidence. Pot Culture Magazine digs into what the study found, what it missed, and why causation remains unsettled.
Before dispensaries, cannabis slang helped buyers and sellers talk without saying weed.
