If, like me, you came of age before legalization, you will recall one thing about procuring weed back in the day: You didn't have a lot of choices. In fact, you had one: nickel bag or a dime bag. But that was then and this is now, and the cannabis space has entered a fascinating, fast-flowing moment where legalization—which begat commercialization, which begat corporatization, which begat commodification—has created today's modern dispensary where the choices for consumers can be dizzying. As it turns out, there may be no better gauge of the changes rippling through cannabis culture than the humble menu at your local dispensary. Weed names have always added to the fun and intrigue (as a teen, even the relatively straightforward Thai Stick sounded entrancingly exotic), but today, as the power dynamic shifts from seller to buyer, and as growers and retailers find themselves strategizing to make their products stand out on increasingly crowded shelves, the names are taking on even more importance. |

You're about to become their favorite child. |

I'll admit it. I, myself, am a "Don't buy me any gifts," ass guy. Sorry! I'm not a rich buy myself whatever I want type, but a perk of my job is that I get to test a lot of really popular, gift-worthy products. I've got the TheraFace Mask, which I just christened Gift of The Year. I've got a ton of award-winning gadgets. I've bought myself plenty of luxury bullshit this year. My New York City Kitchen is too small for anymore cooking stuff. And, generally, I'm really content right now. So, if you're dealing with someone similar, let me guide you. |

Cutting it close? There's no need to panic. (Yet.) |
| Off the soundtrack to Netflix's 'Rustin,' the song was just nominated for a Golden Globe. "I sat down at the piano one afternoon—I felt something coming—and it just came out," the artist recalls. |

It's taken me a while to trace the connective tissue between the two big Supreme Court stories that dropped in the last few days — the latest episode in ProPublica's continuing mini-series, Lifestyles Of The Rich And Those Who Live Like They Are, and The New York Times' deeply reported— and existentially depressing— account of how the Dobbs decision came about. The basic lesson I garnered from the lovely coincidence of the two stories is that the corruption within the current carefully manufactured conservative majority on the Supreme Court is both intellectual and financial. In brief, you don't necessarily have to take a justice fishing in Alaska to help get the decision you want, but it helps. |
