🦥 A few things I found this week — chill and give these a read:
Man, I still can’t believe we are still talking about this in 2025, but the latest FBI data shows US police made over 200,000 arrests just for marijuana possession last year [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/analysis/land-of-the-free-us-recorded-more-than-200000-marijuana-possession-arrests-in-2025/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=land-of-the-free-us-recorded-more-than-200000-marijuana-possession-arrests-in-2025). That is nearly a quarter of all drug arrests nationwide. As a grower, this stuff just breaks my heart and fires me up at the same time because we’re out here treating a plant like a crime while half the country is legal.
On a lighter note, I finally dug into the truth behind the legendary story of the Outlawz mixing Tupac Shakur’s ashes with some heavy indica and smoking them on the beach after he passed [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/analysis/did-tupacs-friends-really-smoke-his-ashes-the-full-story-behind-the-legend/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=did-tupacs-friends-really-smoke-his-ashes-the-full-story-behind-the-legend). It turns out the group actually went through with it, believing it was Pac’s literal dying wish from his lyrics. Honestly, that is the most metal, beautifully chaotic tribute to a friend I’ve ever heard of, even if his family later said they didn't know about it.
