Ten years ago, I experienced a number of devastating miscarriages. To cope with the physical and mental pain, I turned to cannabis—as I saw how much it helped my sister-in-law battling cancer.

By Leah M. Suárez Have you lost count of your sheep? You’re not alone. With an average of up to two-thirds of U.S. adults experiencing occasional to moderate trouble sleeping, it comes at no surprise that the market for sleep aids is on a steady rise, with CBN (Cannabinol) gaining traction as a formidable forerunner. CBN is sometimes referred to as “the new melatonin” due to its potential role in promoting sleep, but it’s important to recognize that these substances, CBN and melatonin, are distinctly different in terms of their origins, mechanisms of action, scientific research, and legal stat ..read more

Transforming Sex: Cannabis and Tantra
CannaCurious Magazine
by
1M ago
By: Amanda Fisher-Katz-Keohane It’s no secret that cannabis and sex are increasingly overlapping industries. And it makes sense why. Cannabinoids can quiet our minds, allowing us to tap into our senses and relax into our bodies. When this happens, we’re able to fully experience and enjoy sex and lean into our sexuality. Because of this, the connection between sex and cannabis is often highlighted in the context of sexual tantra. The word “tantra” has been used and referenced in many ways and contexts throughout history. According to Imma Ramos for the British Museum, “Tantra is a Hindu and Bud ..read more

By Allessandra Inzinna Every generation swings the cultural pendulum to and fro. One builds the suburbs, one escapes the suburbs, all witness varying levels of political unrest and react accordingly. While past generations may have believed or been victimized by the villainization of weed, Generation Z largely isn’t buying it. In fact, they’re heading in the opposite direction. Zoomers, or those currently aged 10-27, are the first adults to have widespread legal access to the plant. The oldest of them grew up on the domino effect of state-by-state legalization, the youngest of them born into i ..read more

I’m an Ecuadorian immigrant raised in Jersey City Heights. I am an attorney, advocate, adjunct professor, and consultant. I’ve been in the cannabis industry for over six years.

The Playful Prettification of Cannabis
CannaCurious Magazine
by
1M ago
BY AMBER DORSEY When it comes to creativity in cannabis, we often see it applied to packaging and the occasional marketing campaign, but none of that is really geared toward the stylish stoner who happens to be of the fem persuasion. Cannabis is not a monolith, and neither are those who consume it in its many forms. We have since learned that women make up a large percentage of cannabis consumers. And while it feels like the majority of brands dominating the market are created and operated by men, there are several women owned and operated brands that are making waves by consistently creating ..read more

BY ALLESSANDRA INZINNA While her husband sat in jail, Loriel Alegrete stepped in as both mother and father to their sons. She was the provider, she was the nurturer, she was the cheerleader. She was tired. It seemed to her that every time she and her husband, Anthony, had a baby, he went to jail. He spent years ripped away from his family for nonviolent cannabis offenses. He and his long-time friend, Corvain Cooper, supported their families with their business practices. “Everything was good until it wasn’t good,” Alegrete said. Anthony served years for his crimes. A light sentence compared to ..read more
