🦥 A few things I found this week — chill and give these a read:
Man, I love seeing the culture shift in real time. We just hit a massive milestone where daily cannabis use in the US has officially outpaced daily alcohol consumption for the first time [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/news/daily-cannabis-use-in-the-us-now-outpaces-alcohol-as-teen-use-declines/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=daily-cannabis-use-in-the-us-now-outpaces-alcohol-as-teen-use-declines). It’s wild to see the data finally back up what we’ve known for years—people are choosing a plant over a hangover, and the old stigmas are just melting away.
Speaking of old stigmas, there's a killer piece exploring how the classic "lazy stoner" trope is officially dead, pointing to the new Cheech & Chong documentary as the ultimate eulogy for that era [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/culture/the-stoner-got-a-gym-membership-cheech-chongs-last-movie-is-the-eulogy/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=the-stoner-got-a-gym-membership-cheech-chongs-last-movie-is-the-eulogy). I love those guys, but the modern scene is full of active, focused growers and creators, and it's awesome to see the culture evolve into something way more dynamic than just sitting on a couch.
Also, if you've got some extra fan leaves sitting around from your latest harvest, you have to try juicing them. I ran across this raw cannabis beet juice recipe that mixes fresh leaves with blueberries and beets [See the full article on Cannabis Now](https://cannabisnow.com/raw-cannabis-beet-juice-recipe/). I’m always looking for ways to use the whole plant, and throwing raw fan leaves into a summer wellness drink is such a great way to get those cannabinoids without the high.
