It’s happening, folks. A 70,000-square-foot cannabis cathedral is sprouting up in the quiet town of Newington, Connecticut. The kind of industrial behemoth that screams "Progress!" to some and "The world is ending!" to others.

The War on Weed: Clinging to Prohibition in the Age of Legalization
It’s 2024, and while the smell of legal weed drifts freely through much of the U.S., a handful of states are still clinging to prohibition like it’s 1937 and Reefer Madness just hit theaters.

White Durban Review
The weekend was looming, and I needed something to keep me energized. There were errands to run, supplies to gather, and people to deal with. I had to stay baked out of my mind, yet alert and on my game. There were things to buy I didn’t care for and conversations to have with people better left ignored.
