For the Culture By The Culture
Church and cannabis are joining forces in a growing number of spiritual communities across the U.S., testing the limits of religious freedom and federal weed laws. From Elevationists in Colorado to sacred smoke ceremonies in Michigan, Pot Culture investigates the rising spiritual movement to make cannabis a sacrament.
Governor Greg Abbott’s surprise veto of SB 3 handed a rare loss to Texas prohibitionists, keeping hemp-derived THC products legal, for now. But Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick is already plotting revenge. This report breaks down the politics, the power struggle, and what the veto really means for cannabis in Texas. The war on weed isn’t over. It just changed shape.
Texas just became the 40th state to legalize medical cannabis, but don’t start celebrating yet. HB 46 expands access through TCUP, allowing up to 10mg THC per dose and new qualifying conditions, but still lags far behind national standards. This report cuts through the hype and shows what the law really means for patients in the Lone Star State.
Pot Culture Magazine returns with Vol. 02 of Reefer Report Card, our new Saturday breakdown of weed-world chaos. Florida moves to strip cards from patients with past charges, a Queens dispensary submits a fake FDNY letter, Missouri wants weed sold like beer, and North Carolina takes two very different paths on policy. Grade incoming.
They said it was legal, but forgot to mention the local bans, zoning traps, and phantom policies blocking access at every corner. This is the real face of fake legalization, from small town shutdowns to legal gray zones that keep cannabis just out of reach.
From Florida’s latest crackdown on medical cannabis patients to MedMen’s final financial faceplant and a wave of ridiculous stoner gifts flooding New York dispensaries, Pot Culture Magazine launches its new weekly series grading the chaos, comedy, and contradictions of the cannabis world. It’s opinionated, researched, and raw. Welcome to the Reefer Report Card.
