40 acres & a Bowl // Tyson Ranch
Located 110 miles north of Los Angeles, Tyson’s new cannabis resort will serve multiple purposes in California. According to a report from The Blast, half of the land will be used for cultivation facilities designed to “allow master growers to have maximum control of their environment.” The resort will also host a school designed to educate growers on the best techniques for cultivating their own strains of cannabis.

California is the sixth state to allow sales of recreational marijuana, and as the nation’s most populous state, it’s widely seen as a tremendous boost to mainstreaming marijuana. Pot remains illegal in the eyes of the federal government, and it is STILL illegal to take marijuana across state lines, bring it on a plane or mail it.

Taking the sketch out of the buying weed at a costly trade off is piece of mind some people appreciate.

80ft. KRAKEN IN THE VIRGIN ISLANDS
The Kodiak Queen, formerly a Navy fuel barge named the YO-44, was discovered by British photographer Owen Buggy approximately two and a half years ago on the island of Tortola. Instead of letting the historic vessel get picked apart for scrap metal, Buggy approached former boss Sir Richard Branson about collaborating on a restorative art installation. Together with nonprofit Unite B.V.I., artist group Secret Samurai Productions, social justice entrepreneurial group Maverick1000, and ocean education nonprofit Beneath the Waves, the project was established as both an eco-friendly art installation, and a philanthropic measure to rehabilitate native marine species.
