The cases are laid out neatly with brightly packaged prerolls and uv jars of flower. Refrigerators line the wall with bevvies with names like Mellow Melonade and assuredly, the budtender has dreads. Though suspicions mount, you can't get a look inside that bag of "Cookies OG". There's no THC percentage in sight, and you're a hop, skip, and jump away from Caesar's Palace. You've stumbled into a fake dispensary, the increasingly common tourist trap that exists to sell dressed-up hemp products to vacation goers caught up in the excitement of legal weed.
Amanda and Ryan catch us all up on the fresh news in the herb world. We cover Germany's latest push to legalize, how the tradition of Dry January affected the canna-beverage market, the dangers of programs like CPEAR, and how we can protect mom-and-pop farms by supporting initiatives like the Parabola Center.
Like opening the newspaper and catching a whiff of something dank alongside the updates, we cover the news with a hint of pot-snob. Grab the ISO and clean your favorite piece in anticipation of this quick and stoney news round-up.
