  • Everything Michigan stoners need to know before Election Day

    Is it possible to vote without talking to a single human being? Fellow Michigander, I’ve been writing this newsletter for years now, and I’ve never asked you to do much homework. This week, I’m making an exception. Election Day is Nov. 3. So, I put together the official stoner’s guide to Michigan’s 2026 election. It…


  • 10 Michigan weed brands that stoners trust the most

    Somebody’s about to win a year of free weed. Fellow Michigander, The polls are closed. Thousands of you told me who’s growing the best weed in Michigan, and the full results are finally here.

  • Former caregivers turn a failed Detroit grow into top-shelf weed

    Plus, somebody paid for weed and got a bag of dirt. Fellow Michigander, Some weed brands spend way more on marketing than on growing.

  • Which Michigan vape pen is actually worth $30?

    I gave up joints for three days. You made me do it. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, A few weeks ago I asked what I should review next, and you told me vape pens—which is not what I would have picked. I’m a joint guy. But because I’m a man of my word, I…


  • Are you going to make me ask again?

    Vote now or don’t complain in October.

  • Michigan weed reporter surrenders control of his stash

    It cost me double. But I’d do it again. Share with a friend Fellow Michigander, I gave up control of my personal stash last week and handed the buying power entirely to two Lansing budtenders who had no idea they were participating in my little dispensary experiment. I set no price limit, offered no brand…
