Happy birthday Scorpio! Those born under this sign are often perceptive, passionate, and possess a mysterious allure. Their ability to connect on a profound level and their fearless approach to life inspire admiration and trust in those around them.

We know you love the finer things, scorpions, but month, it’s essential to prioritize necessities over luxuries. A family gathering may be in the cards, bringing warmth and connection. While daily tasks might feel repetitive, approach them with enthusiasm—think of them as stepping stones towards your dreams. An unexpected twist awaits as a secret admirer might reveal their feelings for you. Achieving your dreams will also bring an ego boost. Instead of dwelling too much on financial concerns, trust in yourself and look forward to the joyous moments that the month promises.

The month also calls for a blend of tranquility and joyful movement for your health. Explore relaxation techniques like meditation or deep breathing exercises to manage stress. At the same time, find the value in simple activities, like dancing in your living room, to release endorphins and uplift your spirits. Striking a balance between stillness and celebration is the key to holistic well-being this month.

Professionally, it might not be the best time for a job switch,  and business owners should be prepared for unforeseen shortfalls. Financial constraints might make investments challenging. Job seekers might find themselves accepting positions with lesser pay, but it will benefit you in the long run.

November strain: Indulge in your sweet tooth and dive deep into November’s transformative energies with a “slice” of Cream Pie. This is a versatile strain with many iterations, just like its namesake dessert. Its euphoric, happy, and even arousing effects will suit your personal and social pursuits this month, enhancing your intense and passionate nature. Embrace the month with a strain that’s as creamy and dreamy as your deepest desires.


Sagittarius

November is a month of momentum, Sags. Your bonds with friends and family will deepen, providing a strong support system. While your love life might face some turbulence, previous investments will start to bear fruit. Some Sagittarians might also find healing from past injuries, both physical and emotional. Release past regrets and embrace inner peace, but don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Cultivate positivity in your thoughts and steer clear of negative influences. While romantic relationships might present challenges, the connections with your close ones will only grow stronger.

Remember, laughter is a potent remedy for many of life’s stresses, so embrace humor and even indulge in some harmless pranks. Professionally, list your goals and work towards them diligently.

Deep breath, Pisces—November presents a set of challenges on the professional front, especially with job applications, and a cherished friendship might require some extra attention and mending this month. To maintain harmony in your relationships, steer clear of arguments and confrontations and embrace your trademark optimism. While there might be moments of lows, comforting news from a friend will be a source of solace. Keep open lines of communication with those close to you, as you navigate any mood swings, and make an effort to make sure work-related stresses don’t spill over into your personal life.

Your emotional well-being takes center stage this month. Engaging in volunteer activities can be a therapeutic experience, benefiting not just the community but also your spirits. Take some time to identify what triggers feelings of anger and anxiety; recognizing these triggers will empower you to maintain your inner peace and tackle challenges more effectively.

Daily tasks in your career might seem repetitive, but missing even a day could lead to overlooking crucial details—stay locked in. While a colleague’s promotion might be on the horizon, remember that your turn is not far behind. Fresh graduates should brace themselves for potential job rejections but remain optimistic about future opportunities.

November strain: As you navigate this month’s swift currents and deep emotions, remember that all your stresses can roll off your back like water. With its euphoric, uplifting, and munchie-inducing effects, Moon Pie is the perfect celestial treat to align with your intuitive and imaginative nature. This strain has a unique funk to help you break out of old habits, and give you the confidence to channel your dreamy nature towards your goals.

In the realm of personal relationships, November promises to be a lively month for you, rams. Friends may surprise you with unexpected visits, and expect an inundation of event invitations. While social interactions will be abundant, remain discerning. Be wary of toxic relationships that could impede your momentum, and times of doubt or challenge, lean on your loved ones for support.

On the professional front, you might experience feelings of displacement or unease in your current role. However, acting on impulse and making hasty decisions may work against your best interest. Instead, take the time to plan, gather the necessary resources, and work diligently towards your aspirations—without rushing. Remember that external recognition does not determine your worth. Stay genuine and true to yourself, even when faced with challenges from colleagues.

America’s top weed cities of 2024 announced

Published

By


America’s tens of millions of stoners need not endure unequal access to their life-saving medicine and safer alternative to alcohol. They can vote with their feet for some fine cannabis cities, or stay to fix the terrible ones. Right now, all across the US, Americans enjoy widely different levels of weed freedom.

Real Estate Witch’s website computed the top 50 best weed cities in America, and the differences speak volumes. Denver, CO ranks No. 1. Louisville, KY ranks dead last. Below, Leafly presents some highlights and picks from each spot.

No. 1 Denver, CO

John Denver wasn’t kidding! The Mile High City defends its name with a first-place finish in the stoner city rankings for 2024. I mean, it has a fricking Mile High 420 Fest. Colorado legalized in 2012, and today a mature cannabis industry competes to serve the highest-quality flower and extracts at the lowest price. Denver has nearly four times as many shops per capita as Los Angeles, and the top-shelf ounce average price there bucked inflation, falling $1 in the last year to $242 per ounce. Whether it’s fine dining, shows at Red Rocks, stunning trails, or killer art, Denver delivers for its irie residents and visitors. We can’t wait to visit again.

No. 2 Portland, OR

Leafly smokers are in love with Oregon’s world-class growers and their extract scene. From Archive, to Decibel, to Left Coast Standard to TrueCare Farms, Oregon has the juice! It sports the Northwest Cannafest, a crazy specialty in GMO Cookies, and even balanced CBD strains.

See all of our Oregon stories to smoke like a local.

No. 3 Las Vegas, NV

Sin City aims to corner the market on turnt-up cannabis fun. Las Vegas offers legal tree from the second you land. There’s kiosks in the airport, and the cabbies will drive you straight to da club. Combo that cannabis with a trippy visit to The Sphere, some tasty food, and so much more. The cherry on top: Las Vegas’ licensed cannabis smoking lounges are finally opening up. Read our Las Vegas weed visitor’s guide.

No. 4 Buffalo, NY

According to Whitney Economics, just 4 percent of New York smokers consume licensed cannabis. That’s a failure. But not in Buffalo, NY, where locals—including indigenous communities—charted a speedy path to tons of stores and literal tons of cultivation. That’s how you get safe access and do the will of the voters. Buffalo outranks New York City—ouch! Go Bills!

No. 5 Baltimore, MD

American cannabis regulators don’t want to learn from their competitors in other states. But we can still beg them to study Maryland. which canna-balled into adult-use sales in 2023 with a smash success launch. Existing medical growers bulked up, stores flipped from medical to recreational, and supplies never ran dry. May the speedy reconstruction of the Francis Scott Key Bridge inspire us all.

No. 6 Phoenix, AZ

It’s so great to see this big desert city flower into a cannabis capital. Phoenix has a huge amount of large-scale indoor cultivation bringing down prices. Its regulators did a savvy job of spreading clubs around the state, and getting city buy-in with the carrot of tax revenue, and another special incentive. Cities that ban stores must allow home-growers.

No. 7 Seattle, WA

Shout-out to all the amazing breeders and growers of Washington: From Exotic Genetix, to Torus, to Artizen to Freddy’s Fuego, Phat Panda, and Constellation rosin. The party is on Bainbridge Island this 4/20!

No. 8 Sacramento, CA

Flo White from Amplified Farms 26.8% THC (David Downs/Leafly)

The world doesn’t know it yet, but Sacramento is going to run away with the weed bag. Killer indoor ships statewide from California’s capitol—Alien Labs, Amplified Farms, Natura, Seven Leaves, and so much more. SacTo is perfectly positioned between the foothills, the mountains, and the coast—with water, power, labor, and affordable land. Locals enjoy fine cannabis at fair prices from plentiful stores, and combine it with tasty eats, trips to the Sacramento River, and the mountains. Go meet your legislator with California NORML May 8, and demand ‘Deli-style.’

No. 9 Kansas City, MO

Hot damn! Welcome, Kansas City, Missouri, to America’s top 10 weed cities. Missouri pulled off an epic, drama-free 2023 legalization launch and K.C. is on fire with NFL champs The Chiefs, a new airport, a cleaned-up downtown, and the impending arrival of the US Women’s Soccer team stadium. Missouri has solid medical indoor that flipped to recreational, and they are rapidly getting up the learning curve on dope strains. Plus, world-class barbecue, jazz, shopping, affordability, and plenty of room for newcomers.

No. 10 Providence, RI

The East Coast continues to come alive with legal cannabis, and Providence’s jump up seven spots to rank in the top 10 is a testament to its progress. What is going on in Providence? Well, weed is fully legal. They’re epically passionate, and the town boasts twice as many head shops per capita as Seattle.

2024 Las Vegas weed visitor’s guide

Published

on

By


In a few months, the self-proclaimed entertainment capital of the world will make the case for itself as the weed capital of the world. Las Vegas’ seven-old legal cannabis program is a fine-tuned machine, but there’s one final shot in the arm coming this spring: nice places to smoke it.

Sin City is home to 70 dispensaries—all within a 15-mile radius of the Strip—that accommodate the 45 million annual visitors looking to buy legal cannabis, as well as 3 million locals in the metro area. Clever entrepreneurs have additionally built a bustling industry around legal cannabis with everything from ganja-inspired tour buses to 420-friendly yoga classes.  

Read on to learn how to make your Vegas trip spectacular, with the best of what the city has to offer weed tourists in 2024:

What are Las Vegas’ cannabis laws?

Weed is legal for all adults 21 and older, but for now, you still can’t legally consume it outside of a private residence. That being said, Las Vegas Police have bigger fish to fry than busting people smoking weed in public or carrying more of it than the legal limit. You won’t get arrested unless you’re toting an exorbitant quantity (think 1 pound or more). The worst that usually happens, if officers notice at all, is that you’ll be told to put out your blunt and perhaps throw it away.

New in 2024: Nevada’s possession limit has doubled. Adults can buy up to two ounces of flower or a quarter-ounce of concentrates per day from a legal dispensary.

“It’s a special time for cannabis tourism in Las Vegas,” said Tick Segerblom, a county commissioner best known as Nevada’s Godfather of Cannabis for his role in advancing legal weed a few years back as a state senator.

Get the full details of the law on Leafly’s Learn Legalization page for Nevada. Also be sure to check out official government sources.

Back in 2017, in the early days of rec cannabis in Nevada, Sin City’s licensed cannabis stores were popping up like bags of Orville Redenbacher. But after a roller-coaster period of changes in ownership and a few closures, many stores have remained operational for several years and counting. Our latest tally lists 70 operational dispensaries in the Las Vegas Valley, which includes the neighboring cities of North Las Vegas, Henderson and a swath of land in unincorporated Clark County.

How to order weed delivery online with Leafly

The Grove—located at 4647 South University Center—has long been the first stop for 420 travelers when they get off the plane in Vegas. Located less than a mile from Harry Reid International Airport, it’s open 24 hours and was one of the city’s original batch of dispensaries back in 2015.

If you’re looking for more options, check out the nearby MedMen at 4503 Paradise Road and Pisos, a little ways north, at 4110 South Maryland Parkway. All three stores offer online ordering for same-day pickup and usually have minimal, if any, wait time for walk-in customers.

For stores that have not advertised with Leafly, Nevada’s Cannabis Compliance Board keeps a list of licensed retailers.

What’s the best weed to buy in Las Vegas?

Oh, there’s a ton of good stuff. Leafly has started offering professional ratings of cannabis in Las Vegas, and here are some of our top pics:

Budtenders at some of Vegas’ most popular dispensaries — Planet 13, NuWu, Reef and Thrive — tell Leafly they recommend Blue Dream, Gorilla Glue #4, Ghost Train Haze, and Jenny Kush.

The most popular brands include Green Life Productions and Medizin. We also like The Grower Circle and Polaris.

Las Vegas weed visitors’ frequently asked questions:

Do Vegas dispensaries keep my personal information when they scan my ID?

They say they don’t. And by state law, they’re not supposed to. The goal behind scanning your ID is simply to have your information on file while you shop and to identify you when you check out. Most stores wipe your ID from their system within 24 hours, if not sooner.

Are Vegas weed stores still cash-only, or can I use a credit card? How about ApplePay, Venmo, PayPal and cryptocurrency?

Cash is king.

Most Las Vegas dispensaries accept debit cards, but it requires some banking judo and fees, though. Pot shops don’t take credit cards or Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo, crypto, or any of that. 

Is plastic worth the convenience? Perhaps, if you don’t mind spending a few extra bucks. But honestly, just go with cash if you can.

When will the weed lounges be up and running?

Stay tuned to Leafly for the answer. Download the Leafly app and turn on notifications and we’ll ping you.

At least three state-licensed lounges are scheduled to finally open in Las Vegas on 4/20 this year: The Reserve at Nevada Wellness Center, Dazed at Planet 13, and Smoke & Mirrors at Thrive.

We’ve been waiting for this day in Las Vegas since 2017. The Nevada state legislature offered some hope by passing a bill to green-light lounges all the way back in 2021. Three years later, and there’s still only one lounge: The SkyHigh Lounge on tribal land just north of downtown Las Vegas exists thanks to a special pact between Nevada tribes and the governor’s office.

Can I trust the weed at Las Vegas stores?

Sure. In recent years, Nevada issued several cannabis recalls due to faulty testing and inflated THC counts from the state’s testing labs; a sign of the system working. The state’s Cannabis Compliance Board has cracked down since 2022. Buy with confidence, the weed will be great.

Looking beyond Las Vegas?

Here’s a map to some of Leafly’s other top dispensary picks across Nevada.

This might mean more time at the gym, reading an actual book cover to cover, and for many, cutting out alcohol. Or at least for the month of January, aka Drynuary.

Personally, I like to strike a balance between avoiding alcohol and my craving for sessionable, fun cocktails with a Cali Sober approach, by incorporating cannabis-infused sodas and ‘spirits’ into classic cocktail recipes—all of the flavor without compromising my goals. Here are my five favorite easy, highly sippable libations for Drynuary and beyond.
