In the haze of college dorm rooms, makeshift devices like toilet paper rolls stuffed with dryer sheets—affectionately dubbed “sploofs”—were the go-to for masking the telltale signs of cannabis use. Brandon Shroyer, then a student in Oregon, was all too familiar with these rudimentary tools. “We’d crank up a steamy shower, stuff a wet towel under the door, spray Febreze everywhere, and exhale through a toilet paper roll stuffed with dryer sheets,” he recalled.

Hailing from Seattle, Swisher Sleep brings that Pacific Northwest grit into every verse, every business move, and every onstage moment. I caught up with him fresh off the release of his “Mansion” video—a hazy, high-energy display of raw talent and rawer terpenes. We talked about everything from Redman crashing his set with a camera in hand, to the brutal tax chokehold on legal weed.

As we get older, aches and pains compound on one another. As the maxim goes, Father Time is undefeated.

Is “Hemp” the Way?

Cannabis is in a state of chaos and existential self-reflection. All hopes were pinned on the Biden Administration moving the needle in some fashion, only to be completely sideswiped by the hemp industry. It’s caused funds like Navy Capital and large operators like Gold Flora to call it quits, with more and more closings on the horizon. Hemp, on the other hand, is “living cannabis’s dream,” as insiders on X have been buzzing.

A moving drama set in 2008, Grassland explores the human cost of cannabis criminalization, with Jeff Kober delivering one of his most layered performances to date. In Grassland, Kober trades in his long history of playing outlaws for the uniform of a conflicted police officer. The new drama executive produced by Common places Kober in the role of John, a widowed grandfather and retired cop navigating the quiet minefield of post-recession suburbia. But this is no standard cop drama.

Psychedelic medicine is still a largely unexplored frontier in the modern scientific age. However, entheogens—psychedelic compounds that produce spiritual effects or experiences—have been administered as medicine for pain and emotional trauma since ancient times. Only now, following decades of cannabis advocacy and legislation, are chemicals like psilocybin and MDMA being introduced into the plant medicine conversation and studied for their therapeutic potential.

A Hidden Tax Lifeline

2 weeks ago | cannatechtoday.com | Aron Vaughan

The cannabis industry has never had it easy. Between regulatory uncertainty, banking restrictions, and sky-high tax burdens, even the most successful operators often feel like they’re just treading water. At the heart of that financial squeeze is Section 280E of the Internal Revenue Code—an outdated tax provision that forces cannabis businesses to pay taxes on gross income rather than net profit. But what if there was a way to turn the tables on 280E?
