Humans have been influenced by one thing or another since the very beginning. Whether it’s that pretty glowing hot thing that neanderthals fought over or the latest TikTok trend, there is always something that has a hold over us. Especially now in the digital age, we’re influenced by every little thing, sometimes without even knowing it. That’s exactly what we set out to explore in this issue of Loco Mag. Those complex questions of influence shape our understanding of reality and the world we live in. Or they make us want to eat tide pods. It’s up to you.

With that being said, I’m excited to introduce the sixty-seventh issue of Loco Mag, Under the Influence! Contained within, you’ll find Livia’s exploration of Rae Dunn products and their subsequent cults, photos from Jewel’s trips to view the graffiti under local bridges, Belle and Scrap’s discussion on the influences of various substances, MaKenna’s reflections on the evolution of style, and more!

Use discretion, no pills, no needles, and enjoy,

Ryan, Danita, and the Loco Mag Staff
