With recreational marijuana legal in four US states, foodie stoners no longer have to settle for home-made hash cakes. Now, they can enjoy ‘high cuisine’ from The Herbal Chef, who uses cannabis to give diners the gourmet munchies. Could this stoned supper club be the ultimate in immersive dining?

When we think ‘stoner’, we rarely picture a female – but legalisation in the US is turning the tide on weed culture. An increasing number of women are now ‘out’ about their toking habit and some are getting into the industry, suggesting that when it comes to cannabis, the future might just be female.

Following its legalisation in selected US states, cannabis culture is losing much of its stigma – and beauty brands are one sector helping to give it a makeover. Tapping into the plant’s new image is Vertly, a line of cannabis lip balms which highlight marijuana's all-natural benefits.

In light of the legalisation movement across the US, a new report has revealed that more Americans than ever are trying marijuana. And this use isn’t leading to dependence on the drug. With more innovative ways emerging to try weed, it’s a great time to experience the high life.
