For the Culture By The Culture
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.
Denver’s new “cannabis psychosis” documentary blames weed for mental health crises, but the science tells a different story. Pot Culture Magazine follows the fear machine, exposes the shaky studies, and calls out the system pushing prohibitionist panic. This isn’t about health. It’s about control.
Tom Rhodes has done what most comics only dream about: crushed stages across five continents, hosted Dutch late-night TV, and built a global audience without selling out. From biker bars in Florida to interviews with the Dutch Prime Minister, this Vault feature revisits a stand-up lifer who’s still writing, still touring, and still torching crowds worldwide.
Cheech and Chong’s Last Movie isn’t a stoner flick, it’s a raw, trippy confessional from two counterculture icons who shaped comedy and cannabis forever. With Dave Bushell behind the camera, the film blends archival chaos, animation, and unresolved tension into a story about brotherhood, pain, and legacy. It's not just a documentary. It’s an honest trip home.
In this raw, revealing 2012 interview from Pot Culture Magazine’s Limited Vault Series, Kelly Carlin-McCall reflects on growing up with a counterculture icon for a father—and how she carved out her own voice beyond the legend. From chaotic childhood memories to behind-the-scenes moments in stand-up history, she opens up about fame, freedom, dysfunction, and healing—with the kind of honesty that doesn’t flinch and never tries to be polite.
Why do the best stoner movies always go off the rails in the final act? This sharp satire breaks down the formula, from porch chill to warehouse explosions, and asks why Hollywood still thinks every high needs a crash.
