Culture Magazine (US)

CULTURE Magazine is an American monthly magazine covering entertainment and lifestyle trends in Southern California's medical cannabis community. Based in Corona, California, it is owned by Southland Publishing Inc., which also publishes several alternative newspapers and magazines in the region. Culture magazine distributed the first Thursday of every month.

History

The magazine was founded in 2009 by Jeremy Zachary with the stated mission of informing and entertaining the estimated 500,000-plus medical-marijuana patients in the Greater Southern California area.

Zachary developed his concept for CULTURE after noting a lack of cannabis publications that directly addressed the interests of the average medical-marijuana patient. Most either promoted cannabis cultivation and/or the "stoner" lifestyle. With Southern California’s medical-cannabis industry growing rapidly, Zachary believed a publication was needed that eschewed politics and the "pothead" image and, instead, focused on the general interests and lifestyles of those who used cannabis medicinally.

CULTURE magazine premiered in June 2009.

Staff

The current staff of CULTURE includes Publisher Zachary, Editor-in-Chief Roberto C. Hernandez, and Sales and Marketing Manager Jim Saunders. Regular contributors include Jasen T. Davis, Hans Fink, John Gilhooley, Anna Lambias, Stacy Davies, Paul Rogers and David Jenison. Its monthly Legal Corner column is written by marijuana attorneys Christopher Glew, Bruce Margolin and Jeffrey Schwartz and retired Superior Court Judge James P. Gray. Its medical column, Healthy Living, is written by cannabis advocate and registered nurse Lanny Swerdlow. CULTURE's Ask Sarah column is written by well-known cannabis advocate Sarah Diesel.

Content

CULTURE's editorial coverage includes profiles of significant individuals in the medical-cannabis community (scholars, activists, patients, advocates, etc.) as well as news, event previews, band interviews, a Destination Unknown travel column, strain and edible reviews, CD/DVD/film/book reviews, recipes, photo galleries and an extensive events calendar. Artists, entertainers and celebrities that have appeared on CULTURE's covers have included Joe Rogan, Erykah Badu, Margaret Cho and Melissa Etheridge, in addition to noted cannabis advocates and icons such as Ed Rosenthal and Tommy Chong.
