In the 1990s and early-2000s, the War on Drugs tried to stop smokers worldwide getting high on hash. However, this led to the UK getting its very own domestic ‘skunk’ industry – an ultra-violent shadowland populated by gangs, pushers, lab slaves, granny growers and millions of young people putting their mental health at risk. In ‘The War On Drugs Show’, we examine the social implications of prohibition worldwide. Any attempt to shut down the trade in drugs such as heroin, cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine or weed invariably sets off a chain of events that just makes things worse, leaving a trail…

On a hot summer day, there’s nothing better than a refreshing frozen treat to cool you down—and get you high.

Using a handful of simple ingredients—watermelon, milk and cream, lemon juice, and an eighth of weed—she’ll walk you through how to make a watermelon lemon kush pop, an ice pop as delicious as it is dank.

On VICE’s weed travel show ‘BLUNT REVIEWS,’ we trek to places where weed is legal to review things a cannabis-consuming tourist can do while they’re stoned. On this episode, VICE’s Trey Smith visited Alaska, where he stayed at Cecelia’s B&B, a weed-friendly bed and breakfast in Anchorage, and sampled a THC-infused buffet with folks from the local weed industry. Then he stopped by The High Expedition in Talkeetna, a dispensary that doubles as a museum to famous mountain climber Ray Genet, sampling their product before taking a bush plane to check out the surrounding mountain scenery.

Some claim it’s a wonder drug for epilepsy, severe autism, and even to quell the harsh side effects of chemotherapy, while others decry pumping marijuana into still-growing bodies. We went to the small town of Pendleton, Oregon, where medical marijuana is legal, to visit Mykayla Comstock, an eight-year-old leukemia patient who…
Banks (not his real name) earns tens of thousands of euros every month distributing weed to dealers in a small town in central Germany. But he wants to stop, because he says his product has become poison. The weed he sells is so laced with synthetic cannabinoids that it has become a new drug entirely: something extremely potent, addictive – and possibly lethal.

Senior citizens are the fastest growing demographic of marijuana users in the country, and they’re finding more ways to use it than ever before. For a look at the relationship some seniors have with the drug, VICE visited a Seattle nursing home that takes its residents on field trips to a local dispensary—sitting in on their lesson about cannabis, checking out what products they buy, and lighting up with an elderly woman who gets high to ease her chronic illness.
