Beloved NFL Quarterback Joe Montana has deepened his ties to the cannabis community, this according to multiple industry reports.


The former San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, 63, has put his efforts into investing in cannabis start-ups. As reported by Sportsnaut, Montana recently put his efforts into the National Institute for Cannabis Investors, “a clearinghouse for anyone seeking advice on marijuana investments.”


In the course of his playing career, the athlete sustained various injuries and now uses cannabis balm to treat those aches and pains, The Athletic reported Thursday.


In early 2019, several outlets, including Bleacher Report, announced Montana had decided to start investing in legal cannabis with medical marijuana company Caliva.

At the time, Montana said: "[he believes cannabis] 'can provide relief to many people and can make a serious impact on opioid use or addiction,'” according to Bleacher Report.

Montana’s new investments come in the midst of a bargaining agreement from the NFL and players on proposed new relaxed policies on cannabis consumption. A decision on that policy for the upcoming season must be reached by March 18.

Golden Teacher Mushrooms: Everything You Need to Know

Golden Teacher mushrooms (GT Mushrooms) are one of the most popular strains of psilocybin mushrooms. They are mostly cultivated for their above-average psilocybin potency, which serves as a beginner's gateway to psychedelic mushrooms. They feature caramel-colored stems and caps speckled with yellow hence the name Golden Teacher. 

These psychedelic mushroom strains are also known as golden caps, boomers, goldies, caps, and cubies. While the information on their origin is quite unknown or undocumented, anecdotal reference shows that the golden teacher mushrooms were first reported in a scientific literature in 1906 in Cuba, while research on the strains is most likely to have started in the early eighties.

The Truth About THC Candle: Cannabis Candles & How to Make Your Own

There are several different ways to consume cannabis, and some of them don’t even involve actual consumption. Cannabis candles are beginning to take over the candle game, allowing cannabis enthusiasts to enjoy the smells they’re used to having to cover up and hide: the danky goodness of weed.

As cannabis becomes less stigmatized in modern culture, people are beginning to come out and admit to their cannabis use. While smoking weed used to be something people felt they had to keep on the down low, the culture is becoming increasingly mainstream and the scent is now sought after rather than condemned. Many cannabis candles feature complex scent profiles, including notes of amber, which contribute to a rich and layered aromatic experience.
