Century of Smoke and Lies

A realistic photograph of a cannabis bud and a fresh green marijuana leaf resting on an old hardcover book, with the bold headline text reading “Century of Smoke and Lies” above and “A Hundred Years of Cannabis Prohibition” below. The background is warm brown with golden lighting, creating a vintage and serious tone. Branding for Pot Culture Magazine, including its logo and copyright ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept, appears in the lower right corner.

A hundred years after the 1925 International Opium Convention first outlawed cannabis, prohibition still stands as one of the biggest policy failures in modern history. From colonial fear and racist propaganda to Nixon’s drug war and global treaties, the cost has been human lives, stolen freedom, and wasted truth. The plant survived. The lies didn’t.

Sober but Guilty: The THC DUI Scam

A digital graphic promoting Pot Culture Magazine’s feature article titled “Sober But Guilty: The THC DUI Scam.” The image shows a dark highway at night with blurred headlights in the distance. A pair of car keys and a rolled joint rest on the pavement in the foreground. The bold text reads: “Sober But Guilty – The THC DUI Scam.” A faint scale of justice symbol is visible in the background sky. Branding at the bottom includes “PotCultureMagazine.com” and ©2025 PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept

A new UC San Diego study shreds the myth that regular cannabis users are impaired days after smoking. Yet cops, lawmakers, and courts keep pushing THC blood limits that have no science behind them. This isn’t public safety, it’s prohibition by another name, and it’s nailing sober drivers to the wall.

How the Guardian Sells Fear, Not Facts

A research report sits upright on a desk with a cannabis leaf partially obscuring the text, symbolizing corporate misinformation. The bold headline reads “The Paranoia Profiteers,” with a red banner above that says “Investigation.” A blurred bottle in the background hints at the involvement of the alcohol industry. ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept.

The Guardian’s latest “study” on cannabis paranoia collapses under scrutiny. Pot Culture Magazine dismantles the fear-mongering, exposing flawed data, cherry-picked experts, and the hypocrisy of ignoring alcohol’s far greater risks. This hard-hitting feature shreds lazy reporting, defends patients, and calls out the panic industry for what it is: a profitable lie meant to keep prohibition alive.

The New York Times Wants to Scare the Sh*t Out of You

A close-up of cannabis products on a wooden table in front of a blurred New York Times newspaper. In the foreground are a small metal container with cannabis buds, a clear bag of colorful THC-labeled gummies, and a small amber vial. Overlaid bold white text reads, “THE NEW YORK TIMES WANTS TO SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF YOU.” ©2025PotCultureMagazine/ArtDept is printed at the bottom left.

The New York Times is pushing a fear campaign on “cannabis poisonings” in kids, built on sloppy hospital coding, bad data, and lazy journalism. We break down the inflated numbers, call out the stupid motherf*ckers leaving edibles out, and show how real regulation not media panic protects children while exposing the NYT’s scare tactics

Drunk Is Fine Weed Is a Crime

A spilled wine glass bleeds red wine across a world map, contrasting sharply with a clean, bright green cannabis leaf on the opposite side. Bold text reads, “Drunk Is Fine, Weed Is a Crime,” highlighting the hypocrisy of global drug laws. Pot Culture Magazine branding appears at the bottom.

Alcohol kills over 3 million people worldwide each year and still gets a free pass. Cannabis kills no one, yet it remains criminalized across most of the globe. This hard-edged report dismantles the hypocrisy behind global drug policy and exposes how alcohol gets a halo while weed gets a sentence. The numbers are in, and the story they tell is deadly.

dark tabletop displays drug paraphernalia including a spoon filled with powder, a syringe, several white pills, and a small plastic bag. Bold white text reads, “Sweden’s Prohibition Mirage: When ‘Drug Free’ Becomes a Death Sentence.” The Pot Culture Magazine logo is placed below the text.

Sweden promised a drug-free society. Instead, it built a death machine. From overdose rates that dwarf Portugal’s to gang violence run by teenagers, this hard-hitting feature exposes the brutal cost of prohibition disguised as public health. Don’t call it a model. Call it a failure
