Chronic Fatigue For Stoner Stereotype

Much maligned are we cannabis consumers – we’re just a bunch of lazy stoners in the more pernicious corners of public opinion. But new research touting the exact opposite could stem the tide of teasing and torment. At f*cking last.

Beer Not Bashed By Bud Bevs

As more boozy brands dip their toes into the cannabis space, speculation persists that THC-totallers (is that a thing? It should be) will supplant beer for bud-infused beverages. That, it transpires, just ain’t the case at all. Uh-uh.

Teutonic Take On Commercial Cultivation

With ‘social club’ sales scheduled to start in Germany in July, it seems that the powers that be are intent on keeping things strictly not-for-profit.

I mean… It's been working like that in the Netherlands for the past 50 years… right??

UT > UK

The US state of Utah – better known for its strict stance on alcohol – has recorded it’s home to no less than 83,000 medical cannabis patients: out of a population of 3.2 million.

Now, considering the UK has about half that number of patients, and around 20 times the population… well, you do the math.

(Spoiler: They ain’t in Wisconsin).
