Netflix's TYSON goes deep on Mike's second act

Netflix's four-part docuseries TYSON, directed by Floyd Russ, follows Mike Tyson from "Baddest Man on the Planet" through prison, addiction and money troubles to where he is now. Tyson says he has been "California sober," off hard drugs and liquor, for more than a decade. The final episode ends with him taking "the toad," a psychedelic he credits with keeping him off cocaine and alcohol, and says it told him to fight Jake Paul.

What the election means for cannabis

Democrats won both chambers of Congress, but federal legalization would still need 60 Senate votes and the President’s signature, and the new Congress isn’t seated until January. In Texas, Vikki Goodwin unseated Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who led the hemp THC ban push. Nothing changes for travelers this week, and the federal hemp THC limit still starts Dec. 11. Read our full breakdown.

Reggie Kush wins a Kill Tony golden ticket

Our spotlight comic Reggie Kush is Kill Tony’s newest golden ticket winner, earned with a set that mixed stand-up and battle rap on Tony Hinchcliffe’s live comedy show. The St. Louis-born, New York-based comic and rapper was on the Heavyweights lineup at TYSON 2.0 in Brooklyn last week. Watch the moment in his spotlight.

Haverhill approves Massachusetts’ first voter-backed cannabis café

Haverhill voters approved Question 10, about 12,600 to 10,500 in unofficial results, allowing on-site cannabis consumption where it’s sold. It’s the first time a Massachusetts community has approved social consumption by public vote. Stem, the local dispensary that petitioned for the vote, is building a lounge, which still needs a state license. Statewide Question 8, which would have overridden it, failed.

Lounge watch: where on-site consumption is heading next

Massachusetts: social consumption rules are final, but no town has finished opting in, and the first cafés aren’t expected before 2027. Sacramento: the city’s lounge pilot caps rooms at 1,500 sq ft, requires odor-control ventilation and only allows products bought on site; staff said openings would come late this fall at the earliest. Nevada City, Calif.: the council moved to let existing shops add ventilated, 21+ lounges and to lift its cap on pop-up cannabis events. New York: lounges are legal on paper, but the state still hasn’t opened applications, so places like TYSON 2.0 run as private clubs.

“Find experiences near me” asks your browser for permission first. Your location is rounded and used only on this page to sort results; it isn’t saved or sent to Bluntly Zen. Typed searches are looked up through OpenStreetMap and aren’t stored.

Know before you goSee cannabis laws by state. Laws and venue policies change often. Public consumption is prohibited in most places, including streets, parks and many hotels. Confirm age, consumption and smoking rules directly with each venue before you go or book, never drive impaired, and keep cannabis away from anyone under 21. Listings are for information only. They are not endorsements, and nothing here is medical or legal advice.
