The Life

Although it might not be obvious at first, not all local cannabis dispensaries are created equal. Some are owned by out-of-state corporations, meaning that most of the profits they generate leave the community. Others like Green Soul Organics, which is set to open two locations over the next few months, are owned by local people and are invested...

The one-hit wonder. In the world of popular music, it’s a somewhat dismissive term. It’s a slight to the bands and artists who enjoyed one hugely successful song (think “MMMbop,” “Walking on Sunshine,” or “867-5309/Jenny”), then more or less disappeared into showbiz oblivion. Personally, I would rather have one hit instead of none. And I often can. That’s...

A week before our trip, Leah sent me an article that was giving her cold feet. “Crowds swarm the Las Vegas Strip as casinos reopen,” The Hill headline screamed. Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak had signed an emergency directive increasing capacity at casinos and other venues from 35 percent to 50 percent. A photo showed a throng of people,...

Try to find a public celebration, and you’ll run into messages saying the event is in limbo (FlyHi 420 Festival in Denver), scheduled to be rescheduled (National Cannabis Festival in D.C., announcing a new...

Aires: Mar. 21–Apr. 19 Allow people and events to reveal themselves to you this month. It is not your responsibility to fix things; instead, be the person who tells the other person that he or she knows what to do. Embrace serenity. Taurus: Apr. 20–May 20 There’s an energy you’re holding onto connected with work (or former work)...

The Birth of Vinyl In 1877, Thomas Edison created what was known as the cylinder phonograph. While wonderful, there was no real way to mass produce it. But Emile Berliner created the mass-production flat phonograph record in the late 1880s. Berliner was able to tap methods used in a printing press to create audio recordings. As his access...

  When you drink ayahuasca in the Peruvian Amazon, the shamans chant songs to orchestrate your experience, in every sense of the word. Known as icaros, the songs amplify your visions and drive the medicine deep into where you need it most.  Humans have known for centuries that music is the wind beneath the psychonaut’s wings, a tool...
