How To Shop for Legal (and soon-to-be legal) Drugs

Whatever your thing is, unless your thing is heroin or cocaine or hallucinogens...so really if your thing is marijuana and pills that make you smarter two major mainstream magazines are here for you.

In the May issues of both GQ and Details are articles that give you a break down of two different types of drugs.   

           

GQ' s story "This Bud's for You" by Devin Freidman  takes you on journey through Colorado (where weed was recently legalized) marijuana shops.  And gives you a step by step guide on how to buy once it's legal nation-wide (what they say is inevitable).  The guide makes you ask yourself a serious question: what kind of weed shopper are you?  Are you a connoisseur or just someone looking to relax.  If you don't want to be offered to smell coffee beans after each strand of weed, you're not the prior.  Once you find that out your pretty much off and running and the article tells you to a get a license to shop right after you find out what type of dispensary is right for you.  This is your how-to guide for the future or in some places right now.  

Details' story "Can These Pills Supercharge Your Career?" by Kayleen Schaefer describes a whole bunch of pills any college student would love to get their hands on.  You know the type that make you smarter.  And by that I really mean the ones that make you more productive.  Well according to Schaefer these pills have a better place in the work world.  Drugs like prescription Nuvigil and Provigil and supplements like New Mood and Alpha Brain.  All said to stimulate brain receptors thereby making you more productive.  Doesn't sound to bad.  Describes what type drug fit each lifestyle.  Mildly ironic that this story was in the issue with Bradley Cooper because in 2011's Limitless he played a writer relying on a brain enhancement drug for success.


Both magazines fundamentally laid out a shopping guide for your life-improvement drugs.  Whether it be brain-enhancement pills or brain-relaxing plants you'll find out what you need to.

Funny that both magazines are owned by the same family.  Is Condé Nast trying to tell us something?

Hepburn's Hollywood

How iconic must you be to grace the cover of a magazine 20 years after your death?

The May issue of Vanity Fair magazine features a classic photo of Oscar-winning actress Audrey Hepburn on the cover.  The feature story her son, Luca Dotti's, description of his mother during her years in Rome.

The entire issue begs the question of how influential a celebrity must be to still be relevant and of interest 20 years after dying.  This cover groups Audrey Hepburn with other incredibly influential and famous people such as—Marilyn Monroe, Jackie O, JFK, Liz Taylor and Grace Kelly—who graced the cover of Vanity fair well after their death.

So it goes to show if you want to cover a magazine years after your death you have to, win an Acadmey Award, run the United States of the America, be the wife of the United States of America or be one of the biggest style icons to ever come out of hollywood.  Good luck!
