This High-Priced, Fancy Juice Company Is Actually Delivering Weed​

If you live in Boston or Cambridge and have a hankering for some expensive juice, you’re in luck: For the low price of $55, startup delivery service HighSpeed will deliver a serving of locally sourced “fresh-pressed” juice straight to your door.

But if you’re thinking that $55 for juice sounds just a little expensive, you’re not wrong. The mark-up comes from the free “love” that accompanies each juice. What the hell is free love? You’re probably wondering. Weed. It’s weed. (Now it makes more sense, right?)

According to the Boston Globe, it’s illegal to sell weed in Massachusetts, though it is legal to use for recreational or medicinal purposes. However, it won’t actually be legal to sell until a government-regulated marketplace opens up in 2018. Interestingly enough, adults are allowed to give away or transfer 1 ounce of weed to other adults as long as you’re not paid or rewarded for the service in any way. (HighSpeed delivery drivers check customer IDs and ensure that they match the billing information to ensure that all patrons are over 21.) That’s where the juice comes in — as far as the authorities are concerned, it could be plausible that HighSpeed’s customers just really, really love expensive juice.

What Marijuana Might Do to Your Brain

The stoner character may be more than stereotype: Smoking pot may actually make you lazy. Occasional marijuana use can affect your motivation, according to a recent study from Harvard Medical School.

Out of 40 college students, the half who smoked pot once or twice a week for a few months showed more changes in the brain areas regulating emotion, mental illness, and motivation than the drug-free undergrads. “Your motivation levels determine whether or not you get out of bed in the morning,” says study coauthor Anne Blood, Ph.D. "And we're seeing some pretty convincing changes in these regions.”
