1. Get lost in TheWeedTube, a video site made for people who got kicked off YouTube because cannabis is still a violation of their terms of service.
2. Watch Grass is Greener, an incredible new documentary on Netflix wherein Fab 5 Freddy presents the history of cannabis in the black music scene, and how pot’s criminalization was (and still is) a direct attack on African Americans and other minority communities.
3. Read our history of 4/20 and find out where the stoner’s secret code really comes from.

5. Nerd out on modern pot science with Joe Dolce’s deep-dive podcast, Brave New Weed.
6. Find out why, even though legalization is sweeping the nation, it hasn’t meant the end of a booming illicit market.
7. Peruse this fun gift guide for ideas about new ways to partake.

And equity needs to be the future of the movement.
