The cover of the popular alt-weekly was a bit over the top; Californians have been finding ways around restrictive marijuana laws for years — even as the country incrementally evolved its own position on recreational use. Like the original from the 1930s, the pot prohibition that ended with the year 2017 was, practically speaking, never much of a “prohibition” in the first place.

What Are the Benefits of Cannabis Honey?
While honey alone is very nurturing, given that it's a natural form of cough syrup, energy source, and aid for diabetes, cannabis honey has quite a few benefits you might not know about. First and foremost, cannabis honey is a blend of marijuana, or cannabis plants, infused with honey, which can then be administered either recreationally or medicinally. Coined "cannahoney," this simultaneously edible and drinkable blend of two healthy, natural ingredients has additional qualities that set it apart from practically all other rival cannabis blends.

How To Roll a Joint Like a Boss
It's easier than you might think, but that doesn't mean you'll be rolling pearls within seconds (that is, unless you're somehow born with exceptional skill). Plus, there's a variety of ways one can craft a joint: oversized, flag, tipped, basic, cone, backrolled, the list goes on and on.

If you take a quick look at the predominantly grey tones covering the state marijuana laws map of the United States, you'll see just how far we still have to go before nation-wide acceptance of the leafy green goodness known as marijuana is finally overturned as a criminal possession and dangerous narcotic. While still many remain skeptical, and even more abide by the notion of its immediately harmful qualities, a majority of the country has risen up against those who feel the need to diminish this highly pleasurable and medicinal plant.
