The law is clear. Advertising prescription medicines directly to consumers in Australia is prohibited - including on football jerseys, websites, social media, and on posters or banners.

The more you use a good quality olive oil, the better your food will taste. Spring is the time to seek out the newest extra virgin olive oils—the current harvest from olives picked and milled in the previous fall and early winter.

Proposition 36, a state ballot measure, enacted harsher penalties for minor theft and drug offenses, with proponents pledging the crackdown would lead to mass treatment to keep people alive, out of jail, and off our streets. Case records, however, suggest the state is largely failing to meet the central goal of getting people help and instead conducting mass arrests and incarcerating more people with addiction.

Southern California, especially Los Angeles, has many breathtaking botanical gardens and wildflower-lined hiking trails. But it's also exciting to visit private home gardens that are rarely open to the public and find inspiration even if you don't have space for a garden at home.

Jason Ambrosino, the CEO and Founder of Veterans Choice Creations, shared his experience of being prescribed numerous medications for severe pain, stating, 'They had me on a lot of different medications, a lot of gabapentin and the typical combination that the military sees. It turned me into a zombie, I couldn't handle it.' His struggle with medication led him to seek alternatives.

I used to have about 20 pot plants growing on one side, just to experiment. But we're too close to the ocean and they got mold, so we harvested them. Every chance I get. I've been a sun-tanner all my life. The sun is why we moved from Canada to California.

Walking through the main hall is like being at a grocery store on steroids. Big brands are out in force with elaborate displays, from Organic Valley's farmhouse-style installation featuring a photo moment with popular cartoon character Bluey to La Croix's tropical-themed display to promote its newest flavor debuting at Expo (that would be Pineapple Coconut, for bubbly water fans).

In early February, Canadian researchers reported that rates of severe mental illness among young people have risen alongside increased access to high-potency cannabis (Callaghan, et al., 2022). Around the same time, a new book, A Killing in Cannabis (Kohn, 2024), revisited a 2019 California murder and highlighted how violence tied to the marijuana trade has persisted even after legalization. On February 9, 2024, an opinion piece from the New York Times editorial board

Between the two of us, we smoke one joint after 7 p.m. about four days a week. We also enjoy it on special occasions like holidays and birthdays. Lately, when our adult child has been over to visit and we step away to share a joint, they'll comment, I thought you only smoked on certain days or something to that effect. I feel like they're keeping tabs on us, or even judging us by saying OK in a disapproving way.

Local mushroom experts and enthusiasts have bemoaned the state's messaging around the poisonings as narrow and fear-based. Many would prefer to see an emphasis on education, rather than a prohibition on all foraging, and point out that touching, smelling and looking at mushrooms is safe. "There's a lot more nuance," said Debbie Viess, co-founder of the Bay Area Mycological Society. "It's much more important to steer people to places where they can educate themselves about the safety and the dangers of eating wild mushrooms."

Food and stoner culture have always gone together, but these days chefs and cannabis professionals are working together to find thoughtful, new ways to incorporate weed into meals. For National Hot Pastrami Day on 14 January, a celebrated Jewish deli in Chicago teamed up with a local Illinois dispensary to give customers free pastrami sandwiches garnished with cannabis-infused mustard. The High on Rye event was held in the parking lot of Ivy Hall dispensary's Logan Square location.

Most businesses contribute positively to our neighborhoods, but a handful of late-night retail establishments, like the ones we have shut down, attract significant criminal activity. The nighttime safety ordinance has been helpful in putting these stores on our radar and giving us additional tools to shut down problematic businesses. SFPD has been an incredible partner in this work to eradicate drug activity and protect our communities.

The law was part of a state senate bill that called for the amendment of the California Retail Food Code. The bill was signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in October 2025 and it comes into effect this July. That means from this summer forward, Californians can expect to see milk, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, sesame, and soybeans listed as an ingredient on major restaurant menus.

One THC unit, defined as 5 milligrams, is analogous to the standard unit used to compare beer, wine and spirits in alcohol research. Based on surveys of consumption patterns and a clinical diagnosis at the end of the study, the researchers derived thresholds that mark the difference between unremarkable consumption and cannabis use disorder. A cannabis use disorder is present when someone can no longer control their cannabis consumption and continues to use despite clear problems in everyday life.

For many cannabis consumers, there's one unmistakable sign that they've found the right dispensary: the flower smells alive. It's expressive, sticky, vibrant.
