Saratoga Sour by Knack Strain Review
Some strains grab you from the name alone. As a born and raised Upstate New Yorker, Saratoga Springs has a special place in my heart. When Nikki Lawley showed me this bud at the B.L.O.O.M. Roc/ Good Life Gang event in Rochester in September, I knew I had to try it. With a name that…
Gelato Comes Out Swinging: An Interview with UFC Fighter Gilbert Urbina
This interview first appeared in the Sports Edition of Fat Nugs Magazine, released May 2024.

5 Ways Stoners Can Keep Their Lungs Safe
I don’t know about y’all, but I think a lot about lung health. I never planned to be a smoker. I was raised to think smoking was the uncoolest thing a person could do (damn if the movies didn’t make it look cool though). But when I got to college, I discovered something about myself:…
It’s Weed For Your Vagina: An Interview with Lisa Williams of Hello Again
“You want me to put what, where?” Hello Again knows they’re marketing something unusual. Asking people to insert cannabis suppositories is a request usually met with laughter or disgust – but the joke is on them because this stuff really works. I first came across Hello Again back in 2021 when I entered the cannabis…
Point Breeze Khalifa Kush Review
My apprehension of high-potency, indoor-grown cannabis strains is well-documented. So often I find that these strains are unbalanced and hit too hard, leaving me stoned with a headache. The best cannabis strains, indoor or outdoor grown, are balanced, with a robust terpene profile and the presence of minor cannabinoids. When I was gifted this jar…
Sky High in Big Sky Country: A Montana Weed Tour
Driving through the canyon, the craggy peaks of the hills are covered in a dense layer of conifer trees, broken up by small grassy meadows. The hills get smaller as I make my way through the valley, leaving behind the mountains for the grassy plateaus of Montana. The Gallatin River rushes past me in sloppy…
Smoking for Creativity: A Review of Pineapple Thai from HiFi
I firmly believe that one of the best ways for cannabis consumers to familiarize themselves with the plant is through mindful consumption. I’m not just talking dosage: I’m talking about sitting down and looking at your weed – smelling it before and after the grind, taking a dry hit off your joint – getting to…
Power to the People: The Rise of Consumer-Based Research in Cannabis
Cannabis and research do not have a long, happy history together. For decades, cannabis research was suppressed by the government as a tool of prohibition. Positive research findings threatened the propaganda of the devil’s lettuce and the monopoly of single-molecule medicine. Today, when cannabis is legal for nearly half of Americans recreationally and even more…
Creativity and Cannabis with Chris Macek of HiFi
Chris Macek didn’t grow up around cannabis. A religious childhood meant he held negative views and false beliefs about the plant (as many of us did). But his transformation around cannabis began back in 2005 when he opened Barron Studios. He and his brother grew this recording studio from a single room to one of…

Crop-tober in New Mexico: A Visit to Tumbleweed Farms in Ojo Caliente
It is early morning and first light is dawning over the tops of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It is soft and purple, a beautiful pastel start to this Saturday in early October. I am up for the first time before the sun to visit a cannabis farm in the nearby town of Ojo Caliente….
Who Told Y’all Mississippi Can’t Grow?
Photos Courtesy of Author When you think of the Deep South, many things come to mind: fried chicken, Spanish moss, and boiling hot summers among them. What doesn’t necessarily come to mind is weed or a robust medical marijuana program. But the South has several established programs: Kentucky, West Virginia, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana,…
