Blunt Truth: Women Prefer Edibles, Men Still Hog the Joint
New federal data proves what your dispensary line already told you
“Turns out, dudes still treat weed like a frat-house puff-puff-pass ritual—while women are out here curating a whole cannabis menu.”
Let’s cut through the haze: Uncle Sam finally caught up to what your local dispensary queue’s been screaming for years. Men? They’re married to their bongs. Women? They’d rather snack their way to bliss. And no, this isn’t some stoner stereotype—it’s straight from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (because nothing says “party” like a government questionnaire).
The cold, hard stats: Nearly 20% of dudes over 12 treat smoking like it’s 1999, compared to just 14.3% of women. Meanwhile, ladies are twice as likely to reach for topicals, edibles, or drinks—because who wants cough-lung when you can have a mango gummy and CBD massage oil?
The gender gap gets wilder:
- Topicals? 2.5% of women vs. 1.2% of men. (Sorry bros—your skincare routine is showing.)
- Edibles & drinks? Women dominate. (Pro tip: Chocolate-covered existential dread hits different.)
- Vaping/dabbing? Basically the bro zone. (Shocking exactly no one.)
44.9% of tokers stick to one method (probably that guy who’s had the same crusty pipe since college). Meanwhile, Gen Z’s mixing methods like a stoned bartender—27.6% use 3+ routes. Vape pen AND gummies? Bold move, kids.
Here’s the kicker: Daily weed use now beats daily drinking. Alcohol’s hangovers are so 2010—meanwhile, we’ve got politicians still hyperventilating over “gateway drug” fairy tales.
While lawmakers clutch pearls, reality keeps dropping truth bombs:
- Youth use keeps falling (even in legal states—gasp!)
- Secondhand harm from weed? Six times lower than alcohol
- The real newbies? Grandma’s trying legal topicals for her arthritis
Bottom line: Maybe—just maybe—we should stop funding D.A.R.E. nostalgia trips and start demanding science that doesn’t suck. Until then, pass the gummies and maybe a law that isn’t stuck in “Just Say No” purgatory.

Seth Rogen’s Airport Horror Story & Why Your Dealer Might Miss You
Seth Rogen’s Airport Horror Story & Why Your Dealer Might Miss You The Roach That Almost Ruined Everything Let’s set the scene: You’re Seth Rogen—weed icon, comedy legend, and professional stoner. You’ve just landed in Singapore, a country where getting caught with cannabis could land you on the wrong end of a noose. You reach into your pocket for your passport and—oh shit—there’s a fucking roach staring back at you. Cue internal screaming. In a recent chat with Howard Stern, Rogen recounted this nightmare scenario with his signature chuckle, but let’s be real—that’s the kind of situation that’d have most of us sweating through our shirts faster than a rookie hitting a gravity bong. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve flown places and then got there and opened a pocket or something and be like, ‘Oh shit, there’s […]
High & Behind the Wheel: Why Scare Tactics Don’t Work on Stoned Drivers
"High & Behind the Wheel: Why Scare Tactics Don't Work on Stoned Drivers" By Jamie "The Chronicler" Dawson The PSA Problem: Nobody Likes a Lame Anti-Weed Lecture Let's be real—most anti-drug PSAs are about as effective as a soggy joint. You know the ones: Reefer Madness vibes, exaggerated stoner stereotypes, and that weirdly aggressive "THIS IS YOUR BRAIN ON DRUGS" energy. But according to new research from AAA, cannabis consumers actually do care about road safety—they just don't respond to outdated, finger-wagging nonsense. The key? Ditch the stereotypes, embrace reality. In a pair of studies released this week, AAA found that marijuana users are more likely to listen to "realistic" messaging about impaired driving—stuff that avoids lazy tropes (looking at you, zonked-out Cheech & Chong caricatures) and instead focuses on personal responsibility, safety, and diversity. "Effective messaging about cannabis-impaired driving […]

Weed at Work: How Legalization Is Reshaping Workers’ Comp
New study finds more claims but lower costs - and Big Pharma's sweating bullets "Here's the kicker: while injury claims climbed 15% in legal states, companies saved cash because workers swapped opioids for OG Kush." Let's unpack this joint of a paradox: New research shows weed legalization leads to more workplace injury claims but cheaper settlements. Why? Because when Mary Jane enters the chat, opioid prescriptions nosedive faster than a rookie at their first dab rig. The Workers Compensation Research Institute's new report—all 51 pages of bureaucratic glory—reveals that after legalization: Claims increased by 15% after 5 years (blame it on that "happy hour" joint?) But medical costs dropped $207 per claim (that's 5.7% in corporate-speak) Opioid scripts plummeted 9.7% (sayonara, Percocet!) Sleeping pill scripts got ghosted too (rest easy, Ambien) The Irony That'll Make Your Head Spin Researchers […]
Gaming & Ganja: Debunking the Doritos Stereotype
Let's cut through the smoke: We've all seen the memes - the stoned gamer surrounded by empty Doritos bags, Mountain Dew bottles, and a haze of weed smoke. But according to a massive new review in the Journal of Behavioral Addictions, science says that stereotype is about as accurate as a Call of Duty sniper with the munchies. "Turns out, the only consistent thing about weed and gaming research is how inconsistent it is." After crunching 25 studies from the past quarter-century, researchers found the cannabis-gaming connection is all over the map: Positive Correlation Most studies found gaming and ganja go together like Mario and mushrooms. Cozy up on the couch, fire up the console, and pass the joint. Negative Correlation Some research showed gamers actually smoke less. Maybe because you can't hit a bong when you're clutching the controller […]
From Blunts to Business: How Snoop Dogg Built a Cannabis Empire
"From Blunts to Business: How Snoop Dogg Built a Cannabis Empire" By Jamie "The Chronicler" Dawson Snoop Rolls Out His Own Line of Blunt Wraps (Because Of Course He Did) Let’s be real—if there’s one person on Earth who knows his way around a blunt, it’s Snoop Dogg. The man has smoked enough weed to fog up an entire state, and now, he’s putting that expertise to work with his latest venture: Dogg Woods, a signature line of premium blunt wraps. Unveiled at the CHAMPS Trade Show in Las Vegas (after Snoop judged a blunt-rolling contest, because naturally), these wraps promise a "slow, smooth burn" and are designed to "enhance the flavor of any strain." "I’ve been rolling blunts for decades, so I know what it takes to make them perfect," Snoop said. "I created these wraps to be everything […]
