🦥 A few things I found this week — chill and give these a read:
Man, it is wild how much of our history is still tangled up in old political nonsense, but seeing it laid out like this is eye-opening. I was just reading about how Nepal used to legally sell hashish until 1973, when Washington basically forced Kathmandu to shut down all the shops [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/culture/ed-rosenthal-nepal-cannabis-laws/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ed-rosenthal-nepal-cannabis-laws). Seeing Ed Rosenthal call out those laws as "an insult to Shiva" during Maha Shivaratri really hits home because it shows how deeply this plant is rooted in ancient culture, and how fast Western politics stepped in to mess with traditions that survived for centuries.
On a completely different note, we finally got some solid details on Snoop Dogg’s upcoming R-rated biopic, which is locked in for a theatrical release on August 6, 2027 [See the full article on High Times](https://hightimes.com/celebrities/everything-we-know-about-snoop-doggs-upcoming-biopic/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=everything-we-know-about-snoop-doggs-upcoming-biopic). They got Craig Brewer directing and Jonathan Daviss starring, and honestly, I am so ready for this. Snoop is the undisputed godfather of modern weed culture, and seeing his actual life story get the massive, unfiltered Hollywood treatment it deserves is going to be legendary.
