The Future of Our Democracy
Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders discusses the 2024 Presidential election, the Israel-Hamas war, the United States health care crisis, and other pressing issues.
On April 12, Senator Bernie Sanders took the John F. Kennedy Jr. Forum stage at the Harvard Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics. Institute of Politics Director Setti Warren spoke first, warning the audience to adhere to Harvard Kennedy School dissent policies and refrain from protesting—an uncommon preface for a Forum event. Former New York City […]
It’s High Time for Change
Examining the stigma around marijuana.
I smoked my first joint the day after I got into Harvard. My friends had all been massive stoners for nearly two years, but considering my strict parents and highly studious nature, I was afraid that weed would stunt my academic progress. It would hurt my grades, meaning I wouldn’t get into a good college, […]
Stuck Riding the High
The dangers of regular marijuana use, and what schools can do to prevent addiction.
Think of some addictive drugs. Cocaine may come to mind, along with maybe methamphetamine, alcohol, or nicotine. But if I had to guess, marijuana did not make your cut. It is easy to understand why marijuana isn’t generally thought of as a particularly dangerous drug. Its recreational usage has been legalized in most states, including […]
On the Size Question
A promiscuous exploration of ass, grass, and glass.
In the realm of both bongs and boners, the perennial question remains: does size truly matter? The classic rejoinders often boil down to the idea that it’s not the size of the piece but the way you wield it that makes the difference. Nonetheless, we’ve laid our fair share of pipes and wanted to share […]
Puff Puff No Pass
A discourse on ethical drug dealing.
Any avid smoker knows that shit adds up. No matter how much of the tab your job at the MAC or Cafe Gato Rojo covers, your blunts end up burning into your savings. Between the two of us, we’ve racked up a $1200 tab with our dealer this year alone. And after we broke three […]
Ramadan Reflection
Ramadan felt different this year, in more ways than one.
One of the most rewarding experiences of my time at Harvard thus far has been taking advantage of the opportunity to grow closer to and understand my faith. Growing up in a mixed-religion household, my parents have always been completely supportive and helpful in understanding my beliefs. Islam was a choice I made on my […]
Munchies at the Multiplex
An ode to going to the cinema stoned.
It was May of my junior year of high school, and I popped a 10mg THC gummy outside of the movie theater. At concessions, I bought a soon-to-be-needed water bottle and could tell the edible was kicking in. I sunk into my seat for Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness, relishing in the opening-night […]
Those Darn Kids
The First-Year Musical has another successful year with 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑲𝒊𝒅𝒔 𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝑨𝒍𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕.
Each spring, the Agassiz Theater is graced with a musical entirely created and performed by Harvard first-years. The first-year musical, affectionately known as the “froshical,” offers newcomers an exciting and unique introduction to the Harvard theater community. This year’s production, The Kids Are All Right, ran from April 11 to 14 and was an outstanding […]
The Dreaming
If I dismember the sky, will the rainbow chunks bleed prismatic liquid? Will I become death, destroyer of hallucinated worlds? Of amorphous blobs of color that shapeshift and ooze. Of pink elephants and sea monsters deep above. Psychedelia, teach me dissociation. How to lose oneself in liminal spaces. The whiteness of radio static and eerie […]
From the Court to the Record Books
Celebrating the historical successes and the bright future of women’s collegiate basketball.
Creating history, the NCAA women’s basketball final surpassed the men’s final in viewership for the first time ever.

At first, it appeared that South Carolina was destined to be the final victim […]
