Dime bags are out; cannabis-laced gumdrops, tinctures, and salves are in. As states continue to fully legalize marijuana — at latest count, 10 plus the District of Columbia already have — cannabis usage and education grow increasingly sophisticated. At their digital publication and sales platform Miss Grass, Anna Duckworth and Kate Miller compile everything you need to know about your new options. For example: what to smoke before sex, which CBD products are best for your skin, and how each Democratic presidential candidate proposes to influence weed legislation. Earlier this summer, the duo raised $4 million from funders including Listen Ventures (whose portfolio includes Calm and Interior Define) and Casa Verde Capital (all marijuana-related ventures) to create their own line of cannabis products. — Alina Cohen
