For the Culture By The Culture
New York ER visits tied to cannabis have doubled since legalization in 2021, with more than 135,000 cases logged in 2023. Prohibitionists call it a crisis, but the truth is education gaps, black-market products, and a botched rollout. Cannabis is not killing people; propaganda is. Outlaw culture says regulate, educate, and stop the panic.
This week’s Reefer Report Card breaks down media fearmongering, small-town sabotage, and corruption in Boston. From The Guardian’s paranoia push to Southampton’s zoning war against legal weed, plus the ongoing federal court win for patients, it’s a reminder that reform is still a fight on every front.
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.
