Activism in the Weeds: A Call for Change in Australia's Cannabis Laws

Written By Nigel Despinasse

Stolk and Zammit's approach to activism is anything but conventional. Their tactics include projecting pro-cannabis messages onto the iconic Sydney Opera House, placing fake cannabis plants throughout Sydney, and even setting up a fake hydroponic grow operation in a busy store space. These actions are designed to grab attention and spark conversations, breaking through the noise of traditional activism methods.

An Interview with Jeremy Smith

Written By Casey Renteria

At 35 years old he was diagnosed with Crohn’s and eosinophilic esophagitis. Three weeks later he collapsed at work when blood clots hit his heart. “My CK levels skyrocketed, becoming severely anemic, herniated discs in my neck, a tumor was found on my pituitary stock, and I started to develop arthritis”, he recalled. Not long after that incident he narrowly escaped losing a child from the side effects of pharmaceuticals.

Cannabis Culture Shock in Germany

Written By Marge Thomas

With legalization having just happened, acquiring cannabis felt much like the days when I had to buy off the street. Not speaking the language fluently and not interested in venturing to a park hoping to find someone loitering, I called up a connection living in Berlin.

How Cannabis Saved Me: An Interview With Richard Mitchell

How Cannabis Saved Me: An Interview With Richard Mitchell

Written By Casey Renteria

I was introduced to Richard Mitchell a couple of months ago. Before that, I affectionately knew him as the guy who got the Fat Nugs tattoo. Dustin made the official introduction and I’ve since gotten to talk with him about his life and what his journey has been like. Going into this interview I wasn’t sure what to expect - let me tell you it's quite the story!

It affected me so deeply to hear him talk about his experiences and it took a day or two of debriefing before I was ready to listen back to the recording. I am so inspired by him and all he’s been through has turned him into a warrior! I’m so proud and thankful to be able to share that with you. Please meet Richard Mitchell.

Spannabis 2024: A Whirlwind of Experiences and Reflections

Written By Dr. Grant Mitchell

It was a journey that began with a 5-hour flight from Jalisco, Mexico connecting one day later on a 7-hour red-eye out of New York City. After landing at 8:30 am, and getting through customs and immigration, I Ubered directly to my digs in the Gothic Quarter arriving around 11:00 am. Once quickly showered, I had a rendezvous lunch and intelligence meeting with the legendary Captain Hooter. He promptly updated me with more than one dozen Reports Of Multiple Raids At Cannabis Social Clubs Ahead Of the Annual Spannabis Show In Barcelona, including a few I visited last year like HQ, Choko, and Wizards. Needless to say, a murky cautionary vibe permeated the sunny Barcelona air.
