High Maintenance: On Our Watch List


We’ve been huge fans of the webisode series, High Maintenance, about a weed delivery man in New York. We’re happy to announce they’ve made a deal with Vimeo for future episodes. While you’ll have to pay for the show, we’re happy to support artists – especially when they’re this wonderful. Here’s a freebie. Now go order the rest.

When Late-Nite Went Political


At Higher Ground we’re trying to be relevant. We’re also trying to amuse, entertain, and every once in awhile go viral. The follow essay that appeared in The Columbia Journalism Review, is an inspiration.

We hope to elevate the conversation (thus our name) about legalization, pop-culture, breaking news and politics. Plenty of greats have show theway: Carson. Cavett. Conan. Paar. Letterman. Stewart. DeGeneres. Colbert. Maher. Now it’s time to make some history in our own right.

Robin Williams: Simply the Best


The great Robin Williams suffered from addiction and depression – no laughing matter – but also found humor in marijuana’s effects. We’ve posted a few of his hilarious routines on the subject below. On a serious note, if you know anyone suffering from addiction or depression, and see signs they are in trouble, talk to friends and family about getting them the help they need.

No One Nails the Pot vs. Booze Debate Better Than The Daily Show


We’re not gonna lie: This segment about how booze is glorified while pot is ridiculed is the best damn thing ever. And we’re jealous. But not so jealous we’re going to hide it away in a closet under your old sweaters from the 90s so no one can see it. Damn you, Jon Stewart. (And thank you.)

APPLE TOOK OUR FAVORITE APP OFF THEIR SITE! WEEDFIRM!

 The makers of a game called Weed Firm says Apple removed the app from the iTunes App Store this week after hitting No. 1 on the stores download charts. What are they, high!? Our crop was just about to come in!
