Cannabis Culture is a marijuana enthusiast Magazine published in Canada. Unlike High Times it focusses strictly on cannabis related issues and contains less ads and American nonsense. Unfortunately that doesn't really say much. The magazine's owner Marc Emery is a false prophet, an arrogant sod, and a downright nasty individual. He talks shit to people on his online discussion forum if they don't agree with everything he says, and sadly 90% of the users on that forum have been brainwashed by him, so if you disagree with Marc Emery, you're immediately branded a narc and scumbag by the very people who are supposed to be promoting peace and understanding. The entire organization and almost everyone afiliated with them are just one massive gang of hypocrites. I myself am pro-cannabis and for the complete legalization of the plant, but Cannabis Culture refuses to acknowledge the very real fact that addiction to marijuana quite possible, and we have seen it happen to many people. Although the drug is not physically addictive, many many individuals become psychologically addicted to it, as with many other substances. Until Cannabis Culture will address this important issue and stop with the egotistical drivel they publish that is in its own right their very own form of propaganda, I will never buy a single issue of their magazine or visit their website, or go to rallies organized by Marc Emery. I'm pro Cannabis, anti-Cannabis Culture.
Fuck you, Marc Emery, and your hypocritical bullshit. Fuck you, Cannabis Culture for your assuming, subjective "journalism" and your outright ignorance.

Cannabis Culture is a Canadian based magazine that majorly focuses around the controversial subject of cannabis in modern day society. It was orginally called "Cannabis Canada" but was changed early on as its reader base began to spread across into other countries, primarily the United States.
It generally focuses on activism, legalization/decriminalization of marijuana, various aspects of marijuana use, various aspects and techniques of growing and those who grow cannabis, as well as various articles concerning famous/semi-famous artists, musicians, and others who talk about and/or use cannabis recreationally, medicinally, and spiritually.
Consistent articles include "Bob High, science guy" comic strips as well as notes from the editor, Marc Emery and/or Jodie Gienz Ramsay. Also, Ed Rosenthal, a somewhat famous cannabis enthusiast, who specializes in giving advice to novice cannabis cultivators and users, posts responses to various questions posed in the form of emails and/or letters mailed to him in California.
The magazine has recently come under controversy, as its editor, Marc Emery, is currently facing possible extradiction to the United States for sale of cannabis seeds to recipients in the United States. There is varying controversy regarding this as the sale of marijuana seeds is somewhat ambiguous in terms of its legality and is generally acceptable in Emery's current home in Vancouver, BC.
Cannabis Culture is one of the four major cannabis related magazines that is widely available in the United States, the others being High Times, Heads, and Skunk. Other cannabis related magazines are available in the UK.
It is generally seen to be, amongst the four, as more genuine and dedicated to the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana, regardless of its intended use, be it recreational, medicinal, or spiritual. The other three tend to saturate their pages with well-done photography of various aspects of cannabis culture, but tend to shy away from the political issues when compared to Canabis Culture.
There is mild controversy regarding the genuineness of Emery's character due to his extremist political standpoints and societal viewpoints.
Cannabis Culture is generally less available than High Times and Heads in most commercial bookstores.
"You pick up High Times? Nah, I like Cannabis Culture."
