The hypocrisy of cannabis-related incarceration is glaring. While states and corporations are making billions off legal weed, over 40,000 people—disproportionately Black and Latinx—remain locked up for nonviolent cannabis-related offenses. Despite the wave of legalization sweeping across the U.S., many are stuck in legal limbo where state and federal laws conflict, trapping people in prison for something that's now a cash cow for big businesses.
We’ve all heard the horror stories—people popping a weed brownie, waiting for the magic to hit, and before they know it, they’re on the floor wondering if they’ll ever return to normal. Whether it's gummy bears, cookies, or brownies, edibles seem innocent enough, but when they hit—they really hit. The problem? Most people have no idea what the hell they’re doing with edibles, and that’s why they end up on a bad trip. If you’re tired of your cannabis experience turning into an episode of "What the F**k Happened?", it’s time to understand the science behind why edibles hit so damn hard, and more importantly, how you can avoid spiraling into oblivion. Let’s get real and break it down.
When you walk into a dispensary, what catches your eye first? That fat THC percentage is on the label. But here’s the thing: chasing sky-high THC levels might actually be screwing you over. More THC doesn't always mean a better high—it often means a worse one.

Today, the industry is dominated by suits and corporations more interested in profit margins than the culture that started it all. The pioneers who fought for legalization, often at great personal risk, are being pushed out by billion-dollar conglomerates. Cannabis has gone corporate, and it’s getting ugly.

Hollywood has a long history of misrepresenting cannabis use, often leading to laughable inaccuracies that frustrate real-life cannabis users. Let’s dive into some of the most common mistakes filmmakers make when depicting smoking weed on screen and why they need to do better.
In many movies and TV shows, a character takes a tiny puff from a joint, barely inhales, and suddenly acts ridiculously high. This trope is not only unrealistic but also diminishes the actual effects and experiences of cannabis use. For instance, in Netflix's Glow, a character lights up a joint, takes a small hit with barely any smoke, and then acts like they’re high out of their mind. Anyone who has used cannabis knows it usually takes more than a weak hit to feel any significant effects.
