For all you cannabis lovers – we bring some really good news. High Times, for years the best source of cannabis news everywhere in the world, is back. And man, are they ever back. Their website – https://hightimes.com – is so good it’s mind boggling.
Here at YourCanna-Club we just discovered the new High Times after reading a post by Veronica Castillo on LinkedIn. Veronica is not just any writer. She’s a poet. We’ve reprinted a portion of one of her posts below. Here’s a link to read more. We also plan to find out who the genius is that bought High Times and had the vision to hire someone like Veronica and turn it into what we see today. After a brief Google search we know his name is Josh Kesselman, the founder of RAW Rolling Papers. In our brief search we already learned this man donated $100,000 to the Last Prisoner Project, among other generous acts of philanthropy.
Back to Veronica. Here’s an excerpt from her post “Earth & Healing”
On this earth, cannabis takes root like any other healing plant, drawing minerals and mystery from depths we barely understand. But it’s also the hands that tend it, the eyes that read its moods, the hearts that understand the ancient contract between human and humus. These are our cultivators: the farmers, growers, and caretakers who’ve chosen to work with one of nature’s most misunderstood medicines.
“We have neglected the truth that a good farmer is a craftsman of the highest order, a kind of artist,” wrote Wendell Berry. These words ring true for those who grow cannabis. Cultivators who understand that their work is both craft and art, transforming soil and seed into medicine with knowledge passed down through generations.
Across the country, in greenhouses and gardens, indoor grows and outdoor farms, there are people who wake before dawn to check on their plants. They read soil like scripture, understand pH like poetry, and know that every trichome tells a story. They’re not just growing a crop; they’re cultivating compassion, nurturing relief, tending to something that could help ease someone’s pain or quiet their anxiety.
These cultivators carry on humanity’s oldest profession with hands-on wisdom. They know that soil isn’t just something to get dirty in; it’s the foundation of every meal, every medicine, every moment of well-being we’ve ever known.
What follows is a celebration of these earth-bound artists: cultivators from islands in the Caribbean to the U.S. mainland, each bringing their own wisdom to the ancient dance between seed and soil. Whether we realize it or not, we’re all connected to that soil, and to the dedicated souls who refuse to let us forget it. – Veronica Castillo
