The Hidden Hands Behind Your High
The first time I toured a friend’s cannabis facility in Colorado, I expected rows of beautiful plants, bright lights and maybe a few trimming tables. I was not prepared for the hairnet. Before stepping into production, I covered my shoes, washed my hands and listened to a list of sanitation rules that made the place feel like part greenhouse, part laboratory and part commercial kitchen. My friend laughed when she saw my expression. “You thought we just watered plants all day,

Pre-Rolls Done Right: Inside Cannabis’s Fastest-Growing Product Category
If you walk into almost any dispensary today and glance at the display cases, one thing becomes immediately clear: pre-rolls have taken over a large portion of the cannabis market. What was once considered a convenience product has quickly become one of the fastest-growing categories in the industry. From single joints to multi-pack “dogwalkers” and infused options, pre-rolls have evolved into a staple for both new and experienced consumers. Part of the reason for their popul

What Your Budtender Wishes You Knew
Walk into almost any dispensary and you will eventually hear someone ask the same question: “What’s the strongest thing you have?” It sounds reasonable. If you are spending money on cannabis, you want something that works. The problem is that “strongest” does not tell a budtender what kind of experience you actually want. Do you want to relax without falling asleep? Enjoy a concert without forgetting where your seat is? Ease into an edible without spending the evening negotia

Cannascience: Cannabinoids and the Central Nervous System: Let's Get to Repairing
The human nervous system is one of the most remarkable healing systems in the body. Every thought, movement, memory, heartbeat, emotion, and sensation depends upon healthy communication between billions of nerve cells called neurons. These neurons communicate through electrical impulses and chemical messengers known as neurotransmitters, creating an intricate network that allows every organ and tissue to function in harmony. The nervous system is divided into two primary sect

Too Hot for Your Pot
I once left a bag of cannabis gummies in the center console while running what I thought would be a quick summer errand. It was not a quick errand. When I returned, the individual gummies had surrendered their independence and formed one large, sticky republic. The colors had merged. The shapes were gone. The carefully measured servings had become a single fruit-flavored question mark. Was the THC still in there? Probably. Was I going to cut the gummy blob into what I hoped w

Terpenes of Summer
Summer announces itself through smell. Fresh-cut grass. Sunscreen. Charcoal smoke. Watermelon split open on a picnic table. That mysterious odor coming from the cooler because someone forgot to drain it after the last cookout. Cannabis has its own summer fragrance collection, led by bright citrus, fresh pine, sweet fruit and tropical aromas. These scents are often connected to terpenes—volatile compounds produced by cannabis and many other plants. Terpenes help give lemons th

Cannascience: Cannabis Research and Lung Health Over the Last 20 Years
Over the last two decades, cannabis research has evolved dramatically. As legalization expanded and scientific restrictions loosened, researchers began comparing the respiratory effects of cannabis smoke to tobacco smoke more closely. One of the most important findings repeated throughout the literature is that while inhaling any combusted material can irritate the lungs, cannabis does not appear to create the same level of chronic lung destruction seen in long-term tobacco s

Cannabis in the Kitchen Beyond Edibles

Cooking With A Buz: Infused Hot-Honey Chicken Sliders
August cookouts have a way of lasting all day. Somebody fires up the grill around noon, someone else brings enough potato salad for a family reunion, and everyone is still gathered around the cooler after sunset. These sliders are perfect for that kind of afternoon. The chicken is crispy, the slaw adds a cool crunch, and the hot honey brings just enough sweet heat to make you reach for another. The cannabis goes into the finishing sauce instead of the chicken, making it easie
Cooking With A Buz - Infused Watermelon-Lime Granita with Fresh Mint
When July heat settles in, the last thing I want to do is turn on the oven and stand in the kitchen pretending I am not sweating through my chef coat. I learned that lesson years ago while making dessert for an outdoor dinner. The kitchen was hot, the grill was hotter and the guests were melting faster than the butter. I needed something cold, simple and refreshing, so I reached for watermelon, lime and the freezer. The result was a light, icy dessert that disappeared before
Cooking With A Buz: Grilled Citrus Herb Chicken Skewers with Infused Pineapple Glaze
Summer cannabis cooking works best when it feels light, social, and balanced. June is grilling season, backyard session season, and patio dinner season, so this recipe was built around all three. The smoky char from the grill pairs perfectly with the bright citrus, fresh herbs, and sweet pineapple glaze while the cannabis infusion stays smooth and controlled instead of overpowering the meal. This is the kind of recipe that works perfectly for lake weekends, backyard smoke ses

What Your Favorite Consumption Method Says About Your Personality
Cannabis consumers love judging each other’s preferred consumption methods whether they admit it or not. The edible crowd thinks they’re evolved. Joint smokers think they’re traditionalists. Dab enthusiasts act like chemistry majors with torches. Cart users pretend convenience is the only reason they own six different batteries. Meanwhile, somebody with a one-hitter and cargo shorts quietly watches the entire argument unfold like a retired war veteran who has seen too much. O
