For the Culture By The Culture
Each October, the same urban legend returns: strangers handing out weed candy. NORML and UVA Health say it’s pure fiction. No one’s giving away $60 gummies, but accidental ingestion is real, driven by bad packaging and lazy storage. The true Halloween threat isn’t monsters or dealers, it’s fear and ignorance disguised as public safety.
Idaho clings to prohibition while veterans beg for relief. Kind Idaho fights to decriminalize a plant that heals, while lawmaker Bruce Skaug pushes laws that jail the sick and silence voters. This is not policy, it is punishment. The question is simple: Does Idaho fear weed more than truth?
Halloween is the system’s favorite setup. Cops cruise for chaos while cities twist cannabis freedom into new traps. This Pot Culture Magazine field manual cuts through fake reform with real-world survival moves. Know your rights, guard your stash, film the truth, and keep your freedom when the lights flash blue.
A viral clip of a man getting his dog high exposes a cruel new corner of cannabis culture. Weed that heals humans can cripple pets, yet thousands keep posting “stoned animal” videos for laughs. From THC toxicity to fake CBD treats, this hard-edged report calls out ignorance, greed, and the betrayal of animal trust.
In Part Two of our exclusive interview with former High Times Magazine Editor-in-Chief Chris Simunek, the conversation turns raw. From outlaw growers and underground legends to lost friends and a culture gutted by greed, Simunek reflects on the rise and fall of cannabis journalism. This is not nostalgia. This is what the movement lost when legalization cashed in.
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.
