With people's constant search for upgrades when it comes to their health, new brands and wellness trends followed—one of which is CBD products. And as CBD continues to rise in popularity, the curiosity surrounding it keeps growing as well, especially about its reported benefits.

HIGHSNOBIETY x SUMMERLAND

No longer associated with hippies and the counterculture movement it once championed, the 420 holiday has ascended the ranks of popular culture as more than just a day to honor the devil’s lettuce. Revelers all over the world have come to celebrate in some form, and it’s become akin to a rite of passage for certain young adults.

For hardcore fans, that could mean taking a toke as soon as the clock strikes twelve on April 20. A more casual aficionado might want to only enjoy a few puffs in the privacy of their home, but however you decide to partake, it’s high time to upgrade your accessory game to fit your grown-up lifestyle.

THE CUT x SUMMERLAND

As the holidays approach, it’s time to start thinking about what to buy all of our loved ones. Luckily, Gwyneth Paltrow has come to our rescue with this year’s gift guide from Goop.

Goop is never afraid of an out-there recommendation. In the past, the site has asked its readers to consider vaginal steaming, sticking rocks up there, and purchasing a $15,000 dildo. And this year’s guide follows along the same lines. If you know someone who wants to smell like a vagina, become a Scottish lord, or create a replica of any consenting penis, it’s the perfect place to shop.

ELLE x MELLO

One in every three Americans has tried CBD (and 45% of current users have upped their usage since the start of the pandemic), but did you know that the way you’re taking CBD—a tincture, gummy, body balm, gum, or even suppository—makes a huge difference in whether or not it’s actually working?

While popping a gummy at the end of the day is a fun (and delicious!) way to work some CBD into your daily routine—studies show that only about 6% of the stress-reducing cannabinoids actually make it through your digestive system and into you endocannabinoid system. Instead, try one of these options from female-founded CBD brands.

REFINERY 29 x THE ANCESTOR PROJECT

Whether you’re intimately familiar with cannabis, only spark up socially, or have never taken a puff, chances are you only divulge your consumption habits, or lack thereof, in hushed tones around those you really trust. Despite weed being legal in 17 states there’s still a hesitation for many Black folks to openly embrace and experiment with the age old plant.

For me, growing up in Boston’s inner city under the oppressive guise of white supremacy, I was constantly blasted with stigmas about plant-based medicine that lingered subconsciously well into adulthood. Cannabis only drew connotations of nickel and dime bags, and as a gateway drug that would eventually lead you down a dark path. The generational trauma and residue caused by the war on drugs makes it so most Black folks don’t know that cannabis was cultivated and used across the continent of Africa, from Ethiopia to Egypt, for nearly 1,000 years. We’ve long had a deep awareness and reverence for its medicinal and healing properties. Yet, it wasn’t until recently I learned that Harriet Tubman used herbs and plants to help soothe and heal folks as she ushered them across state lines. Yet, when I learned of Tubman’s herbalist background, I developed a newfound sense of pride and ownership for cannabis as a Black woman. There’s a growing movement of Black women amplifying our history with cannabis and sharing the countless ways — from infusions to topicals — it can be used to soothe and heal.

COMPLEX x ALIVE & KICKING

With 4/20 upon us, it is no surprise to reiterate that cannabis is the new green gold rush. The industry, its impact on American life, and how it can change lives are buoyed by an almost comical level of growth, with cannabis spending estimated to hit $57 billion worldwide by 2027. New York recently became the 16th state in the United States to allow legal adult use of the sticky-icky-icky, but as legalization continues to sweep through the nation, it is also worth noting the rise of bud-infused nonprofits like NORML and FOCUS, and how they honor their communities by giving back to communities hardest hit by past transgressions.

Issues still remain as to how America can rectify the trauma and assault on Black and Brown people who were disproportionately affected by racially motivated arrests, but through advocacy and common sense policy suggestions, it is a hope of (at least) 65 percent of Americans who support legalization, that the rights of every American negatively impacted by prohibition get restitution and a chance to impact their communities and the world at large.

At this point in life, our personality cheese has aged to the point of actively *not* seeking a cannabis smoke sesh that might risk getting us baked beyond belief and sending us into a free-falling case of the Weed Scaries. Taxes? Healthcare? The shadow in that one corner that looks like Meghan McCain’s cursed hair?!? We just don’t need the mind tornado. Plus, it takes twice as long for us to spring back to life the next day. If only, we sitcom-dad sighed, there was a way to smoke some weed-y stuff with a lower, more gentle percentage of the high we got as teens.

PAPER x THE ANCESTOR PROJECT

From the burgeoning popularity of international ayahuasca retreats to Oregon's recent legalization of psilocybin in a therapeutic setting, mainstream attitudes toward sacred earth medicines — or natural medicines like psychedelic plants, fungi and animal-based substances — have been changing rapidly over the past few years.

But despite a widening acceptance of these medicines, the erasure of the non-Western cultures that have been using them in sacred rituals and rites of passage ceremonies for thousands of years is still a pervasive problem. And it's one that The Ancestor Project is now trying to rectify.

Helmed by Charlotte James and Dre Wright, the Black-led psychedelic education collective aims to help all kinds of people — but BIPOC in particular — build an intentional relationship with sacred earth medicines through virtual ceremonies, group integration circles and preparation sessions.

"We offer support along every step of someone's journey," James said. "So helping folks plan out a little bit of their medicine path, and come to really clear intentions for that work, and then learning how to take the downloads from their journeys and turn them into daily action."

While Black History Month offers a yearly opportunity to celebrate innovators and leaders, it also serves as an important time to reflect on the social injustices of the past and bring awareness of the generational trauma caused by decades of social injustice. 

In hopes of accelerating the spiritual recovery of the Black community, The Sabina Project—a Black-led platform for psychedelic education and training—is launching a free week-long series highlighting inter-dimensional psychedelic explorers and educators from across the diaspora. 

With the overall goal to ignite a dialog of self-care, self-love, and healing, the series titled AfroPsychedelia, will bring together cultivators, ceremonial guides, therapists, and healers to share their personal stories of transformation and self-discovery using Sacred Earth Medicine.

VOGUE x THE ANCESTOR PROJECT

Even before I was walloped by 2020, for years I’d been feeling what I can only describe as spiritually itchy. I tried therapy, journaling, and exercise, but I yearned for something deeper to ground me after challenges in my personal life collided with the collective problems so many Americans have faced of late. I became convinced this healing could only come from turning inward for greater self-exploration. But how to get started?

Luckily, I soon encountered the work of Charlotte James and Undrea Wright. The pair are co-founders of the Sabina Project, a psychedelic education collective working to return reverence to “sacred earth medicine.” James is a specialist in the field of drug-related public health and harm reduction, and Wright is a cannabis entrepreneur who worked on the passage of Maryland’s medical cannabis bill. Together, they hope to “support radical self-transformation in the name of collective liberation.”

LUCID NEWS x THE ANCESTOR PROJECT

Certainly 2020 will be remembered for the pandemic, the civil rights protests, and the unorthodox Presidential election. But looking back a decade from now, this year’s rapid acceptance of psychedelics by mainstream culture may prove to be just as impactful. 

This year saw the first statewide decriminalization of psychedelics and other drugs, the first statewide legalization framework for psychedelic-assisted therapy (both in the same state, Oregon), the first legal access to psilocybin-assisted therapy in Canada, and the first successful vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to decriminalize cannabis (suggesting that psychedelics may soon follow). At the same time, the senseless murders of Elijah McClain and Breonna Taylor focused national attention on the drug war’s centrality to our society’s systemic racism, lending an even greater sense of urgency to necessary political change.
