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.

Reefer Report Card: The Week in Weed, Rated Vol. 21 — October 25 to November 1, 2025

Graphic for Reefer Report Card Vol. 21 by Pot Culture Magazine. The image features bold yellow-orange text over a green and red wavy background reminiscent of psychedelic poster art. A large green cannabis leaf sits centered behind the words “REEFER REPORT CARD VOL. 21.” Below, the PotCultureMagazine.com web address appears in yellow text. The overall design is vivid and retro, symbolizing cannabis culture and editorial grading of the week’s weed news.

Texas Governor’s Executive Order on Hemp THC is Power, Not Protection

A bold political graphic with the headline “Texas Governor’s THC Order: Power, Not Protection” in large beige and yellow letters against a dark stormy backdrop. A silhouette of the Texas State Capitol appears at the bottom, while a large justice scale hangs above it, one side tipped with a cannabis leaf. At the top, a red label reads “Politics.” Pot Culture Magazine’s logo and website are displayed along the bottom

Governor Greg Abbott’s Executive Order GA 56 hands Texas alcohol regulators control over hemp THC, framing it as “protection” while consolidating power. The $5 billion hemp market now faces child-resistant packaging rules, ID checks, and compliance costs that favor big players.

Pete Davidson’s Weakness Is Not Weed’s Problem

Close-up portrait of a man with short dark hair, wearing a black shirt and a gold chain necklace with pink accents, looking slightly to the side against a dark blurred background.

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.

Cheech Marin turned weed money into a monument. The Cheech isn’t just a museum, it’s a cultural counterpunch, a stoned out cathedral built for the artists the art world ignored. No permission, no filter, no apologies. This is the untold story of how one rebel flipped the script, lit the fuse, and made Chicano art impossible to erase.
