Was Bill Shehan Abducted by Aliens?
Bill Shehan is the co-founder, publisher, and a writer for the award winning Vegas Cannabis and Tahoe Cannabis Magazines.
Well known in the cannabis industry and Nevada cannabis scene, Bill is two people in one. His heart is a clumsy hero, and his brain is a dark comedian. But one thing is for sure, Bill is all wild west and a fixture here in Las Vegas. Bill’s presence in the room is like having a Viking who is about to go berserk coming at you. There’s one thing everyone can say about Wild B...

Back in Black: Cannabis Pushed into the Dark Again
They say there’s never been a better time to get into the cannabis industry. With more and more states legalizing cannabis use and with a new proposed bill that will federally decriminalize cannabis, it appears a new gold rush is upon us. If so, why are so many cannabis businesses being pushed out and returning to the black market?

Luckily, thanks to a life-long good friend turned business partner, Miller is healing his injuries with CBD.
Enduring bruising, inflammation and fractures on a weekly basis, Miller needed a stronger produ...

Tuesday & Cyrus Present Freak Show The Story Behind the Oddest Vaudeville Show in Las Vegas
Vegas-vacation-repeat-offenders and locals may need a little more surge to get them out and about. An affordable ticket price is also a plus. Those ready for some seriously strange and soulful seduction need to dip into the Erotic Heritage Museum on a Thursday or Friday night to join in the circus that is the Tuesday & Cyrus Present Freak Show. A vaudeville show on LSD where the audience is part of the intimate trip, it’s overflowing with comedy and just the right amount of disconcertion.
Stoned History: Buddha & Bhang
We shouldn’t be surprised that the journal Vegetation History & Archaeobotany recently published a study revealing cannabis was first used on the northeastern Tibetan Plateau. It should also come as no surprise that the guy who made it so popular was named Bud. Bud went by many names; Gautama, Shakyamuni, Siddhartha, and Buddha.

Con Brio: The Soul You’ve Been Searching For
It was early 2014, a roller derby friend asked me out on a real date to go see a band that I also loved. It was our first date. We showed up early to see the band Diego’s Umbrella. That’s when we discovered the opening band and they blew us away. We fell in love with the music then, and each other the following year, so we spent six months trying to book Con Brio for our wedding.
Con Brio pulls together every piece of the puzzle and produces a sound that’s tight and takes flight. The pilot Zi...
