And at that moment your children are safely tucked into bed or under the care of a babysitter, what better way to unwind than with weed after a long day of adulting?  Go for a product you have always wanted to try — that rolled gold leaf joint patiently waiting for the perfect night, high CBD products that always piqued your curiosity or that edible that has always been calling your name but maybe was a little too pricey.

The story of the Brotherhood of Eternal Love begins with an armed robbery in 1966. John Griggs and some friends had heard about a Hollywood movie producer with a stash of LSD, so they went to his house in Los Angeles and held him up at gunpoint. Falling back to the desert outside Orange County, California, Griggs and his friends took the stolen LSD, a lot of it, and it gave them deep spiritual revelations. A few years later, at its height, the Brotherhood had become the largest manufacturer and distributor of LSD in the world, an operation they funded by smuggling massive amounts of hash into the United States. But the Brotherhood didn't become an international drug-running organization for money or fame. They did it to turn on the world. They did it to produce hundreds of millions of tabs of acid, which they gave away anywhere and everywhere for cheap, if not for free. They did it to change society. “If you knew us, we were holy men, spiritual warriors,” said core Brotherhood me...

“Start low, go slow.” That's what budtenders usually tell new consumers about dosing to help them partake in cannabis responsibly. The mantra also summarizes the results of a new paper that reviewed current research on how marijuana affects different aspects of sex, including desire. “Several studies have evaluated the effects of marijuana on libido, and it seems that changes in desire may be dose-dependent,” the review's authors wrote. “Studies support that lower doses improve desire but higher doses either lower desire or do not affect desire at all.” Although there's a growing body of research that suggests consuming marijuana can lead to heightened libido and better orgasms , quality studies are limited because of legal restrictions. The review's authors set out to understand what the data currently show about how cannabinoids such as THC affect female sexual functioning. Their findings were published in October 2019 in Sexual Medicine Reviews. “When evaluating ...

Eighths are the king of the cannabis kingdom — 3.5 grams is the quintessential stoner amount of weed because it's the perfect amount for a beautiful Backwoods blunt , a few joints, or a bunch of bowls, depending on the size of your piece.  As an ode to the eighth, Weedmaps News wanted to highlight a focused sample of popular, delicious, lab-tested eighths to try across the adult-use markets in the United States.  These sticky offerings are available in adult-use legal states and vary in price range. They also range in their THC , total cannabinoids, and terpene profiles . Weedmaps News was also able to get a certificate of analysis from all of these brands to ensure these eighths passed their lab tests and to get an idea of their cannabinoid and terpene ratios, which will vary in range (important to keep in mind). Here are some of the eighths of weed worth trying. Cookies (Photo by BREALTV, Courtesy of Cookies) Cookies strain Cereal Milk is a stunner. When you come to Califor...

Seth Rogen and Snoop Dogg have some advice for first-time marijuana consumers: if you bump into them and want to sesh, limit yourself to one hit — or even half a hit. The cannabis icons joked about their shared love for the plant and offered some tips for novices during an appearance on “The Howard Stern Show” on Oct. 8, 2019. Stern started by asking if the pair had smoked together before. Not surprisingly, they confirmed participating in joint sessions and both agreed that they were enjoyable experiences. “What do you mean when you say you enjoy smoking with Seth?” the host asked Snoop. “Are there people who can bum you out?” “Yeah, because they talk too motherfuckin' much and they just get in the way, but Seth enjoys the moment. He's creative,” the rapper replied. “This motherfucker knows how to make a joint that looks like a cross. “He's a bad motherfucker at that. When he pulled that cross out, I was like, 'God, let there be light!'” Stern also brought up...

Every year, weed gets higher … in THC, that is. Throughout our shared history with the cannabis plant, we've slowly bred the plant to produce more of its primary intoxicating and psychoactive cannabinoid, with THC percentages of some plants now reaching the mid-30s. Though the cannabis plant contains myriad cannabinoids, with more than 100 cannabinoids identified in the plant to date, it's still tetrahydrocannabinol that reigns supreme in both the public consciousness and the plant we've bred exhaustively throughout recent history.  As the plant has evolved to become more desirable to humans, thereby securing its own survival , a number of strains with particularly high ratios of THC content have emerged and garnered reputations as some of the dankest weed on the planet. For good reason.  THC isn't the only cannabinoid or native cannabis compound that contributes to the cannabis high, but it is without a doubt the main player. When you hear weed described as intoxic...
