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.

Magic Mushrooms: An Overview of Different Psilocybin Strains and Effects

Like cannabis, magic mushrooms exist as strains and species. These terms are used to describe the physical or chemical characteristics of the plants. While they are often used interchangeably, strains and species are not the same. 

Psilocybin mushrooms contain psilocybin, psilocin, and baeocystin. These compounds interact with the serotonin receptors to control biological and neurological processes like sleep, anxiety, cognition, appetite, nausea, learning, memory, and thermoregulation.

The Ultimate Guide to THCV Strains

THC and CBD are undoubtedly the two “star” cannabinoids almost everyone knows about. But the cannabis plant, with its complexity and rich spectrum, contains many more lesser-known chemicals. While researchers find something new every day, so far we know that the cannabis plant produces at least 80-100 cannabinoids and over 300 non-cannabinoid substances.

Northern Lights: Indica Legend


Northern Lights is an iconic cannabis strain that has stood the test of time, consistently revered for its relaxing effects, rich history, and distinctive characteristics.

With genetics traced back to Thai and Afghani landraces, Northern Lights has influenced countless hybrids and remains one of the most sought-after strains for its therapeutic and recreational benefits.
