Hawaii sells itself as paradise, but when it comes to cannabis, the islands are locked in prohibition. Lawmakers have teased legalization for decades, only to betray voters and bow to cops, lobbyists, and fear. With over 70% of Hawaiians supporting legalization, the hypocrisy is glaring. Paradise is freedom, yet a joint in Waikīkī can still mean court.
California just bragged about hauling in over half a billion dollars in cannabis tax revenue this year. Behind the headlines, growers are bleeding out under crushing taxes, defaults, and broken promises. The state pockets the cash while farms fold and the underground market thrives. Outlaw cannabis journalism tells the story others won’t.
Thailand has lived a century of cannabis politics in less than a decade. From medical legalization in 2018 to decriminalization in 2022, a crackdown in 2025, and now the Cannabis King himself taking power as Prime Minister, the story is wild, contradictory, and global. Outlaw culture has found its throne in Southeast Asia.

Pete Davidson’s claim that weed is “too strong” isn’t just a personal meltdown, it’s ammunition for prohibitionists eager to push THC caps and bad laws. Cannabis culture has fought for decades to kill myths and lies, and we won’t let one unstable celebrity hand our enemies the soundbite they’ve been waiting for.
