NOTE FROM THE
EDITOR
As cannabis prohibition continues to weaken in the United States, the pulse
of the community is quickening. The status of cannabis is changing, and the
community is changing with it.
States like California, Washington, Oregon, and Michigan are paving a way
forward for legal recreational cannabis markets, while other states are sorting
out medical access programs or creating provisions for CBD use. A cursory
examination of the state of American cannabis will tell you that the tide of
public opinion is turning toward legalization, and quickly.
As the legal cannabis and hemp markets expand and grow, the landscape of
cannabis culture will shift and change with them. Our goal at NUGL Maga-
zine is to keep you, the community, informed about all things cannabis, from
emerging research and industry trends to dispensary spotlights and celebrity
strain reviews. We’ll sit down with cannabis activists, industry professionals,
musicians, and innovators to discuss the undercurrents of the cannabis com-
munity -- and how they might affect the future.
We’re excited to bring you engaging, informative content that celebrates can-
nabis culture and challenges preconceptions about the community and its
members. We’re here to inform, entertain, and educate our readers, of course
-- more than that, though, we want to connect people with ideas, organiza-
tions, and movements that can change our world. We believe in the power of
the cannabis community, and we’re honored to serve it.
May you have a delightful 4/20 -- we’ll be seeing you again real soon!
