NBA star Kevin Durant likes cannabis, and he’s not afraid to tell the world.


According to Benzinga, Durant last year announced a partnership with marijuana investment company Canopy Rivers via his investment firm. He’s also supported Dutchie, a delivery service, according to the publication.


Now, Durant is becoming an advocate for cannabis use among NBA players and wants it to be taken off the banned substances list, according to the outlet.


In an episode of “All The Smoke,” which airs on Showtime, Durant said:

“It’s just like, marijuana is marijuana. It’s not harmful to anybody. It can only help and enhance and do good things. I feel like it shouldn’t even be a huge topic around it anymore.”

In a separate interview, NetsDaily.com reports Durant is dedicated to fighting stigma and supports social equity efforts to free incarcerated individuals with cannabis offenses.


“We start getting people out of jail for marijuana. That’s the next step,” he told the publication. “It’s a plant that’s put here for a reason, and that’s to bring us together. Hopefully it happens (removing marijuana from the banned substance list), especially in the NBA.”

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.

Answered: WTF ... are Penis Envy Mushrooms?

Are Penis Envy Mushrooms Worth the Hype?

Penis envy mushrooms represent one of the world's most potent and widely used psilocybin mushroom strains. They are considered 2-3 times more potent than other strains of Psilocybe cubensis (cubes) and are mostly used for their therapeutic roles for addiction, mental health disorders, anxiety, and depression.  

The name “Penis envy” originated from the unusual growth pattern of its fruiting body that looks like the penis. Contrary to some common myths about the strains, the name “penis envy” has nothing to do with the male reproductive system.
