For the Culture By The Culture
This week’s Reefer Report Card exposes the scromiting panic, Washington’s latest hemp crackdown, and the Supreme Court inching toward a decision that could rewrite prohibition. Patients and veterans stayed stuck in outdated systems while global reform moved forward with hesitation. Panic got headlines. Weed got scapegoated. The world kept smoking anyway.
American newsrooms turned a simple overuse incident into a nationwide scare. Scromiting headlines exploded overnight, burying real CHS facts under panic and misinformation. Pot Culture breaks down what actually happened, why the media keeps confusing overuse with syndrome, and how fear travels faster than truth when cannabis is involved.
The New York Times has finally admitted that legal cannabis is eating into alcohol consumption across the country, after years of fear mongering that painted the plant as a public threat. Anyone inside weed culture saw this shift long before the paper caught on. As people replace booze with a calmer, less punishing option, the old narrative collapses and the Times scrambles to catch up
Across Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama, quiet legalization is replacing old fear. Dispensaries open, hemp farms thrive, and police turn away from small possession. Lawmakers who once preached prohibition now profit from regulation. The Bible Belt’s cannabis rebellion is alive and growing, and the South is no longer waiting for Washington to catch up.
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.
