1. Man Sticks Cannabis Up His Nose, Forgets About It For 18 Years



Yup, you heard that right. In perhaps our strangest cannabis story of the year, one man out of Sydney Australia managed to get a balloon filled with weed up his nostril. How? He stuck it up there when his girlfriend gave it to him during a prison visit, got it stuck in his nasal cavity and managed to swallow it. Read more on the fiasco on VICE.


Strangest story we've heard this year in the weed department, no contest.


2. Iowa Mayor Nabbed For Growing Cannabis


Jamaica, Iowa Mayor LaDonna Kennedy and her husband, Randy, were arrested after cops seized 18 plants from their home. 


Though the mayor claimed the plants were for personal use and she wasn't planning to distribute, she was still charged with “delivering or possessing drugs with the intent to manufacture or deliver marijuana and failure to affix a drug tax stamp."


It seems they're growing more than corn in the Haweye State these days.


3. Happy Thanksgiving And Pass The Cannabis Gravy, Please


Some people want more than a side of tryptophan with their turkey. 


California-based Kiva confections made that dream become a reality with their THC-infused turkey gravy. If you ask us, that's one smart way to get the entire family to chill out around the table.

Weed Makes Me Introspective: When Cannabis Causes Us to Reconsider Our Life Choices

Pot Prompts Self-Reflection

Being stoned comes with a wealth of side effects – some of which are just part of the fun, while others have been known to get smeared all over a person’s psyche, causing them to gawk out the window every thirty seconds to see if the cops are coming up the stairs.

Perhaps the least discussed byproduct of the bud, however, is its uncanny ability to send the user into a maddening state of introspection. Cannabis can make individuals more attuned to their bodily sensations, emotions, and inner thoughts, which can contribute to this introspective state. Weed can often inspire the high-minded to start questioning their life choices, setting them on a path of self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-destruction.

Iranian Weed: Epic Mag Strain

The sprawling mountains of Iran bloom with native flora every year: elms and ironwood trees, tulips and daffodils, even something called Dwarf Eelgrass.
