For the Culture By The Culture
Millions of Americans are quietly fighting back against corporate cannabis domination by cultivating their own weed at home. From Michigan to California, homegrown growers are saving thousands, preserving heirloom genetics, and resisting the corporatization of cannabis culture. This grassroots movement is redefining what legalization really means in a market drowning in Big Weed’s influence.
Weed is getting cheaper but it’s not a win. Behind those $49 ounces and $2 prerolls is an industry bleeding out. Overproduction, bad policy, and corporate greed are killing quality, crushing independents, and leaving consumers with less than they bargained for. This isn’t a correction. It’s collapse.
The cannabis industry is expected to pump $123.6 billion into the U.S. economy in 2025. That’s not just growth—it’s a cultural reckoning. Built by the same community they tried to erase, this number doesn’t just shut down critics. It buries them.
Increasing tariffs and trade policies are driving up prices for cannabis accessories, impacting consumers who face strategic price hikes disguised as inflation. Major corporations pass these costs to customers while small producers struggle. The industry’s silence on these issues highlights economic manipulation, urging consumers to support local brands and demand transparency.
