Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As marijuana is legalised for medical or recreational purposes across the US, producers are catching up with the demand for higher quality strains and more efficient buying options.
Potbox is a "premium cannabis subscription club" for San Francisco and Los Angeles residents which "curates the highest quality, most ethically-grown medical cannabis available and deliver it fresh from the farm directly to your door each month."
Customers receive 10 grams of weed for $150 each month, which comes in rather pleasing jars with cork lids and pre-rolled joints, all cased in a stylish box.
Once you have signed up and uploaded your valid physician's referral, you let Potbox know what you like and dislike and its experts pick two premium strains, with different ones for you to try each month including Blue Sour, Lemon Chunk, OG Kush and Alien OG.
It says its "ethical cannabis" is grown "with the well-being of the end user and the environment at heart".
"It's about carefully controlling all phases of the plant’s life cycle and creating a sense of stewardship over the entire process — from seed selection to harvesting, production and packaging," its website states. "It's about respecting the rights and the livelihoods of the people who cultivate and harvest our cannabis."
