Weed didn’t survive because it was polite. It survived because it was radical, risky, and rebellious. This cultural editorial calls out the corporate whitewashing of cannabis and drags the worst offenders, including Seth Rogen, for turning the movement into a lifestyle brand. Pot Was Never Meant to Be Polite is a wake-up call for anyone who forgot where this all started.
Is flower still the heavyweight champ, or has vapor taken the crown? Pot Culture Magazine digs into lab data, expert insight, and lived experience to find out what really gets you higher—a gram of bud or a gram of oil. From efficiency to feel, this myth-busting review breaks down the highs, the science, and the smoke.
Cinco de Mayo is misconceived in the U.S. as a celebration for partying, but it commemorates the Battle of Puebla, symbolizing Mexican resilience. The cannabis industry mirrors this appropriation, marketing products without acknowledging the culture's significance. To honor this day, cannabis brands should promote education and support for Latino communities instead of perpetuating stereotypes.
The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival hit like a fever dream—blazing heat, blunt smoke, and a human tidal wave of sunburns and sound. Between bad covers, hybrid spritzers, and Revivalist-induced nausea, survival became the mission. Then Dave Matthews hit the stage, and the crowd cracked wide open. What followed was funk, fatigue, and chaos you don’t walk away clean from.
At 92, Willie Nelson is not just still standing, he is still rolling.

From the sunscreen-spraying maniacs to the oblivious braless bouncers, we are rolling out the ultimate human zoo you will find in every music field. If you do not see yourself in this guide, you are not looking hard enough.
