The Munchies Are Not a Myth: The Real Neuroscience Behind Cannabis and Hunger

Send us Fan Mail I pulled the tray out of the oven, looked at what I’d made, and laughed out loud. My first attempt at Herb and Cheese Fatties came out thick and goofy, more “campfire log” than cheese straw, even though they still tasted decent. So I did what I always do when I’m testing a cannabis edibles recipe: I made it again, fixed the variables, and took notes you can actually use. We walk through Herb and Cheese Fatties from Snoop Dogg’s Treats to Eat, including the savory ingredient ...

The problem with most cannabis-infused drinks is simple: when you infuse the whole pot, you lock everyone into the same edible dose, even though real-life gatherings are full of different tolerances, preferences, and people who are staying sober.

If you’re ready to notice more than a THC number, press play, share this with a friend who swe...

Send us Fan Mail A costume-party Prohibition story falls apart fast when you look at the body count. I’m digging into a fact I didn’t know until recently and can’t stop thinking about: an estimated 10,000 Americans died from poisoned alcohol during Prohibition, and a meaningful share of that harm traces back to deliberate government policy. When you criminalize something people still want, the demand doesn’t evaporate. The supply chain changes hands, quality control disappears, and the risk s...
