Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez continues to be chill as hell.
In an interview with TMZ on Wednesday, Ocasio-Cortez shared some of her thoughts on cannabis legalization, proving she’s extremely open-minded on the topic.
When asked if she’d be OK with a sitting president who smokes, the 29-year-old congresswoman said, “I don’t care. Yeah. I don’t care, it’s fine with me. You’re not hurting anybody, you know?”
“There are plenty of people who drink, they’ll go out to happy hour … how is that different from anything else?” Ocasio-Cortez questioned.
Her comments come after several politicians running for president — such as Kamala Harris — shared positions on marijuana legalization, along with past experiences. Read more…

It’s not easy being green — especially at CES, the world’s largest consumer electronics convention. Marijuana tech companies are grumbling about how difficult it is to participate in CES 2019 because organizers will not allow them to exhibit.
“We’re not allowed on the showroom floor, and it’s apparently because [organizers] say they haven’t created a category for cannabis vaporizers yet,” says Jeff Brown, vice president of public policy and communications at PAX Labs, an electronic vaporizer company. Read more…

So your parents want to get stoned. First of all, and let’s all say it together, hell yeah.
However, and this is the tricky part, it’s been a while since they’ve smoked marijuana — if they ever smoked at all — and the weed landscape has changed radically over the last few decades. Thankfully, you, their loving child, are 100 percent here for them. It’s time to answer the call and help your parents get appropriately ripped.
But, where to start? You don’t want to take it too fast and end up scaring them off. And there are some real, albeit manageable, concerns. Sure, recreational pot is legal in 10 states and the District of Columbia, but just because smoking a joint or eating an edible in one of those locales won’t land someone in the slammer doesn’t mean it doesn’t come with its own set of pitfalls.
