The world's cannabis culture, curated once a week.

In the United States, some galleries show glass pipes and bongs as the work of individual artists. This autumn, a few of them are hosting evening events that go beyond shopping.

Elev8 Glass Gallery in Colorado Springs, Colorado, held "Heady Halloween" on the night of October 17. According to the gallery, it combined a glass showcase with local vendors, a costume contest, a silent auction and prize giveaways. "Heady" refers to handmade, artist-driven glass smoking pieces. The gallery also held a night under the same name in 2019, making it a recurring event.

Sunset Glass Gallery in Tucson, Arizona, plans its "Sunset Night Market" from early evening on October 24. Local artists, makers, musicians and food vendors gather, and the gallery hosts live glassblowing demonstrations. Entry is free, for ages 21 and over. The day before, the same gallery had a yoga class on its calendar.

Both galleries are places to show and sell work, and both are trying to become places where neighbours gather too. Watching glass take shape in a torch flame up close is something only spaces like these can offer.

The show is at BasketShop, a gallery in Cincinnati. It is part of FotoFocus Biennial 2026, a photography festival running across the city this autumn, and entry is free.

"GirlPlay" is a series of staged photographs of women spending time among plants and in domestic rooms. It was first shown as a solo exhibition in Chicago in 2017, with intimacy and friendship between women at its centre.

The exhibition text describes it as a response to the male-coded "stoner" stereotype, recasting cannabis as a site of women's agency, creativity and freedom. Nudity is treated not as vulnerability but as a sign of agency and care.

Works on view include "Cotton Mouth" and "Waves On High" (2016) and "Noon" (2014). The artist gives a talk and tour at 5 pm on October 30, and the festival's Cincinnati Spotlight Weekend runs from October 30 to November 1.

The October edition of High Times' monthly strain column came out on October 22. It collects strains the writer encountered around the country in September and October, and it is not a sales ranking.

On the sweet, fruity side, Pi-Chew (Ronin Seeds, Z-Pie #14 x Zuyaqui) is described as tropical fruit taffy with a hint of gas. Dole Whip (bred by Exotic Genetix, grown by Rosin Tree Farms) brings pineapple, cream and cookies.

For citrus, Bolinas (Purple City Genetics, Orange 76 x Chimera Junky) is zesty and sweet, and Whitethorn Rose (Huckleberry Hill Farms) is described as grape, cherry and lemon with a tangy funk.

What stands out is the "Burger" line. Toad Burger (Toad Venom x Donnie Burger) and Hash Burger (Han Solo Hash Plant x Double Burger) both have Burger parents, and both are singled out for their pungent, punchy aroma.

There is room for older names too. Maui Wowie here comes from Humboldt Family Farms, grown from a cut brought back from Hawaii's Big Island in 2009, and is described as tropical, citrusy and spicy.
