Letter from the Editor

Happy April!! Springtime!! Sunshine, warm weather, and 4/20!!

That’s right everyone’s favorite holiday is just around the corner. You can come see me a the Punchline in San Francisco, or Cypress Hill in San Francisco, or any of hun-dreds of events all over the Western US. Check the calendar on our website for more stuff.

In other events, I am saddened and frustrated by the sentence handed down to Virgil Grant. There is no reason for him to go to jail, let alone receive 6 years in prison. Virgil Grant is a good family man who did everything by the book. Please continue to work for marijuana re-legalization, so that good hardworking people who use and enjoy cannabis never have to go to jail again.

This month, a nice story about a 4/20 miracle from Dragonfly, a brief history of Medi-cal Cannabis in Colorado from Mr Natural, and a good interview about marijuana and spirituality. Plus Ask Ed, Rachiebake, Getting high with Dragonfly and more!

Thank you so much for your support. We couldn’t do it without you! See you at the Cow Palace in SF on April 17-18 and at the Punchline on 4/20!

HEMP CON 2010 Words by Hayes Hemingway Pics by Jessica Lux

Everybody's heard of Comic Con and Adult Con and some of you used to think you could

only dream of there being a Hemp Con, but it ac-tually happened at the Los Ange-les Convention Center the week-end of February 19th through the 21st 2010, and it was a success. Both real and surreal, the setting alone was a win, next to Staples Center and around the corner from LA Live, so spending the day in that part of downtown LA wasn't a hard sell. Plus if you liked weed and show-business, Hemp Con had you covered. At the entrance, a homeless man named George, wearing a safari hat and sun-glasses, serenaded attendees with Brazilian jazz on his Saxophone. While I took those tunes in, I was approached by Abe Schwartz, a nice young man who wanted everyone at Hemp Con to know about his movie "Bad Batch," a comedy about pot brownies. Even Abe's parents were there pitch-ing his movie. That's what I call parental support. I saw a lot of young children there with mom-my and daddy, which surprised me but shouldn't have: I was in California where marijuana isn't a big deal, evidenced by the fact that I was about to cover a convention dedicated en-tirely to that plant.

First of all let's dispel all conspiracy theories: no one was arrested for trying to attend an event promoting an “illegal” drug. As long as you paid the $15 admission fee or didn't blatantly try to get in for free, law enforcement didn't have a problem

with you. Even the people I saw medicating on the side of the building were doing so hassle-free. This event was so chill the only problem there

could have been was if the conven-tion center didn't get their rental fee, and we all know they got their money. All three days the lineto get inside was consistently coiling through the convention hallways like a slinky. That's a lot of people paying admission with the assump-tion and expectation that they'll be spending more once inside. That brings me to the bottom line: mon-ey. It's exactly what allowed this event to take place. A good portion of the time I spent at Hemp Con I couldn't get over the fact that this was more about green paper than green bud. That thought disap-pointed me a little because at that moment I realized that marijuana legalization will only go as far as the wagon of full of money it's attached to can take it. There are numerous streams of income at-tributed to the hemp plant, most of which are environmental, but none of those entities were rep-resented at HempCon. I assumed the hundreds of uses for cannabis would be on display here because

it's these same reasons being used as bait to sway opponents of marijuana legaliza-tion, but the convention still did well with a host of other marijuana-related businesses.

Let's just say variety was in abundance. One of the more interesting booths belonged to "The Chronic Coach," Greg Wilkin. He offers "help for people when marijuana use has become a chronic

8 WEST COAST CANNABIS | www.westcoastcannabis.com April 2010 | WEST COAST CANNABIS 9

problem." He's got a "pot-smoking taper-down pro-gram" which allows patients to "smoke less and enjoy it more." It's not nice to poke fun at people's addictions but I felt like he was out of place here. If you're so good at helping people quit smoking marijuana, why not devote more of your time to helping people who suffer from worse addic-tions like cigarettes, the Oakland Raid-ers and Ed Hardy clothing. VIP Print-ing of Glendale, California showed that they can help anyone trying to get their name out in this industry via differ-ent promotional items. They printed a 6-page color catalog with products that certainly could boost any marijuana business -- most notably is them turn-ing your car's back window into a mesh business card, for only $120. 420Web Pros is seeking to establish themselves in a similar fashion. They call themselves the place to go for "web solutions for the medical cannabis industry." They provide you with a professional website for $600. A business I was most impressed with was Proteus420

because I felt like they were a profitable business. They specialize in database solutions for doctor's of-fices, collectives and cooperatives. They can manage patient, doctor and caregiver information. They can provide you with accounting and financial reporting.

They help you with inventory control, electronic document storage, and live patient verification. Basically they can make sure the only paper you'll be dealing is the one with dead presidents' faces. That's as green as it gets as far as I'm concerned. Not all products on dis-play were directly related to marijuana, but some were just as environmental-ly friendly. One of my favorites was "Dope-on-a-Rope-Soap," which doesn't have much to do with weed aside from being roped-soap with strain-related

names like "Northern Lights" and "Mauwie Wauwie." It's a cute product and I hope it takes off for creators Jason and Jenny Wilhelm.

Scanning the room with medicated eyes I learned quite a few things. I learned that Strong Arm Steady,


Krondon, Planet Asia and DJ Green Lantern can not only rock shows but also conventions. I learned that there is such a thing as a dispensary that's open at 7 AM. They're called Alameda Medical Caregivers and they're right off the 10 Freeway on S. Alameda in Los Angeles. Another unique collective is AAAC, which is located in Santa Ana, but delivers anywhere in Or-ange County. God bless them for that. Most importantly I learned of a few organizations working hard to fight the cap on dispensaries in Los Angeles--none harder than The Green Alliance of Patients and Providers who was ac-tively seeking support for their cause. NORML's Beverly Hills Chapter was also present although they were hidden in the back but right next to them was lawyer Bruce Margolin. Margolin is an active fighter in the war against unlaw-ful marijuana arrest and imprisonment. He was drumming up support for his daughter, Allison Margolin -- also an attorney who happens to be defend-ing cultivator Thomas Kikuchi, who's on trial in Van Nuys, California.

There were also reminders of the sad side of mari-juana: imprisonment. I think there should have been more doctors’ offices represented. Recommendations keep you protected under California's Prop 215. That's why I didn't find it odd that a bail bonds company would rent out a booth. It really makes all the sense in the world. Countless times people are imprisoned be-cause they simply don't understand or don't know how the laws work in their favor. Hemp Con really suc-ceed in having people there like Platinum Bail Bonds and Bruce Margolin because those are the two phone numbers you need most. I actually encourage anybody to speak with Bruce Margolin if you see him at a pub-lic gathering. I actually wished some people at Hemp Con spoke to him, specifically this moronic teenager I saw lighting up a bowl inside. It's not a concert, it's a convention. There was a gentleman I won't name, who was seeking signatures for a dispensary he was looking to open outside of LA County. That's not how you go about trying to open your business. He'd be better off going door to door asking people for signatures, like he was running for office. Had he taken a walk over to

the Oaksterdam booth he might have learned that they offer classes on how to start your own dispensary. Had he spoken to Bruce Margolin he would've been told all of that and more.

I can't really blame him because I noticed that only a small percentage of attendees actually stopped and conversed with vendors at-length. I think that's because

people came in expecting to be blown away right off the bat, and when their expectations weren't met, they literally decided to go get high instead of stick-ing around. As I said earlier the line was consistently long but the room wasn't always packed. Traffic at the exit and entrance was constantly moving. The booths that had women wearing hook-er-ish Halloween costumes or itty bitty bikinis obviously drew the most atten-tion. I won't name them either because I'm not giving publicity to people who try to use sex as a marketing tool to reel in pot-smokers. Or maybe I'm just mad because I got caught looking at one of

those women wearing nothing by my girlfriend, and she wouldn't shut up about it all weekend long.

I'll tell you what I wish I did see represented more: the various industrial uses for hemp that can save our environment. I wanted to see a company there talk-ing about hemp seed oil as a fuel source--especially in these times when we're desperate for alternative fuel sources, why not educate people on hemp? It does not contribute to global warming. It has no toxic byprod-ucts or emissions. It doesn't contribute to acid rain. Henry Ford made a car out of resin stiffened hemp fi-ber and it ran on ethanol made from hemp. Fuel aside, if Ford made a car from hemp in his day, why haven't we been building homes out of Hempcrete (lime and hemp)? Everyone hears that the US Constitution was written on hemp paper, but I didn't see a single booth talking about Hemp as a paper alternative. An acre of hemp can produce more pulp than an acre of trees over a twenty year cycle. Up until 1937 all paints were made with a base of hemp seed oil because it dried faster. The Marijuana Tax act of 1938 ended all indus-trial uses of hemp in America. I also wished I saw more scientific evidence of medical benefits present, rather than ways of obtaining it as medication. There were a


group of nurses at the convention posing for sleazy photos. I didn't hear them giving any educational lectures on how cannabinoids affect the mind and body. Had they been talking about something along those lines I might've been able to focus on what they were actually selling and not why they had on fishnet stockings beneath dresses that exposed their private parts anyway.

I was also bothered that legalization advocates were practically on mute. There was more noise for keeping dispensaries open in Los Angeles, than complete legalization, which essentially would fill both lungs with one hit. Recent strides were made to put legalization on the ballot, but the only per-

son I saw making a stir everywhere he went, was a guy with a styrofoam cannabis leaf costume. Now if each time he made an appearance he shouted that marijuana could save the globe in just about every sense of salvation, I'd actually be able to tell you his name(His name is Henry Hemp.-Ed.).

The media was on hand, in full force. I saw just about every California cannabis publication represented. I chuckled when an older latino secu-rity guard became star-struck when he saw a Span-ish news network anchorwoman, and vigorously worked to make way for her and her cameraman at the entrance. I was star-struck as well moments later when I saw B-Real casually walking towards the exit. I cut him off and I asked if I could get my picture taken with him. He agreed because I think he could tell it meant that much to me to cut him off just so we could get a photo together. That moment made my Hemp Con and also made look immedi-ately forward to the next one.

E veryone seems to have had a spiritual moment while using cannabis at one time

or another. Its mystical proper-ties enlighten the soul and open the paths to understanding. When a person can feel more deeply they can ponder the path of their own spiritual journey more clearly. Cannabis as a sacrament or enhancer to spirituality is re-corded throughout history. I had a chance to sit down with Mark Pelter, an Interfaith Minister who is a spiritual counselor to many in the cannabis movement and beyond. Mark has been involved in spiritual direction work for 26 years. His work led him to want to find a way of assisting others in their longing for personal and spiritual healing. Out of this urge, he wrote a book, Choosing What’s Cho-sen You. This is a workbook used for the cultivation of loving-kindness. The workbook begins with the

formulation of a personal learning goal. The learning goal develop-ment section of the book begins with this question: In what area of your life is it the most difficult to keep your heart open? He has taught a class that uses this work-book both in the High Sierras and the Bay Area for over seven years. Currently he is working on re-building their retreat center in the Feather River Canyon of the High Sierras. It is a 51-acre gem that borders Plumas National Forest.

His work is renowned in the industry and he donates his time to counseling patients in the Sacramento area and counsels the homeless in the area at Loaves and Fishes. His ability to create an understanding between self, the universe, and the cannabis plant is opening doors for patients and activists all over the state. In his own words…

SPIRITUALCANNABIS IS A

JOURNEYAn Interview with Interfaith Minister Mark Pelter

by mickey martin


How long have you been a stu-dent of the cannabis plant in relation to spirituality?

Like many individuals of my gen-eration, I was raised with shame and guilt. I started smoking canna-bis when I was 15 and my experi-ences of it were a mix of pleasure, a heightened sense of the moment and the old shame-guilt. It wasn’t until years later through my in-volvement with psychedelics and cannabis that I became aware of these substances for their spiritual and medical purposes. This part of my journey began in 1988.

How did that journey begin?

After leaving Buddhist monastic life in 1984, I began to reintegrate into the secular world of the bay area. A new spiritual need arose within me at this point, the sense of approaching a hairpin turn and feeling inept to navigate my way alone. I found a non-denomina-tional Sufi teacher that integrated these medicines into her work with certain people. I was given the op-portunity to explore these medical and spiritual benefits. I became initiated into a deeper type of in-ner work as I worked on some of my shadow issues and later as I worked on personal integration.

In what ways do you see canna-bis benefiting a person's spiritual being? The spiritual benefits are both while under the influence and subsequently. One type of spiri-tual seekers in the Hindu Faith are called Sadhus. They are known to sit on the banks of the Ganges and to chant: “Om Shiva Shankara Hari Hari Ganga.” First they chant the chant 3 times followed by taking 3 tokes. They believe that with the

third toke they experience God in a universal consciousness form. If readers are interested, they might type the chant into their search en-gine and read further. Additional readings might include the origins of the Rasta culture … I believe that a reader would find that the

Rastafarian Faith goes back to the Sadhus of India. Through cannabis use a person might experience the beauty of nature. Beauty is one of the fastest means of re-connecting spiritually.

As an interfaith minister, do you see cannabis as a relevant aspect of all religious and spiritual experiences?

I believe that there are as many paths to the holy as there are in-dividuals that draw breath. You know … different strokes. Anoth-er reference point for cannabis and psychedelics and spirituality is a book entitled: “ Zig Zag Zen”. I

believe that if someone finds can-nabis helpful to their experience of spirituality, a meaningful sense of connection with self, others of like mind and heart, and a power greater than one’s self, that the medicine for them has a more ho-listic value.

How does cannabis heighten a person’s awareness to his or her own spirituality?

While under the influence a per-son may experience a sense of no separation with the holy. In Jewish mysticism this might be called, be-ing glued to the holy. In Buddhism it might be called entering the stream. The value of these mysti-cal experiences is profound for the individual even if the experience is relatively short-lived.

How can cannabis improve a person's relationship with their higher power?

Cannabis as a sacrament or enhancer to spirituality is recorded throughout history.

20 WEST COAST CANNABIS | www.westcoastcannabis.com

The hero’s journey involves facing truth and Truth, being seen, know-ing the true of our hearts. While under the influence, thoughts and feeling may arise. If people choose to face themselves ,they may be-come free. This basic principal can be very helpful in this journey of a lifetime. We simply choose to re-late with whatever is showing up in our life.

How do you think a person's use of cannabis medicinally, or recreationally differs from the intent of using it spiritually?

I remember a time while I was train-ing with a Zen priest that the priest was asked, “What is spiritual?” He answered, “What isn’t?” Spiritu-ality is a unifying experience of feeling or experientially knowing

that there is no separation. While our personality (ego) is founded on the illusion of separation, this separation is the prime illusion that makes us feel separate while the Ultimate Truth is that there is no separation at all. Recreational use involves a focus on entertain-ment of some kind. Medical use is focused either on a more balanced mind or less physical pain.

Do you think the often-neg-ative imagery surrounding cannabis in our society has left a vital misunderstanding into the spiritual side of the plant?

Yes. I think that those that had something to gain from shrouding the plant with negative images did a number on the masses in order to prohibit its use. Of course we are

still fighting the negative adver-tisements about cannabis.

Do you think the plant itself has the power to teach if a person is open to learning from it?

Yes, the plant can help us with deep inner healing as well as opening the doorways of perception beyond the normal range into spiritual ex-periences. If we choose not to sup-press our awareness, thoughts and feelings we can learn from them. Cannabis can heighten our aware-ness of our experiences, thoughts, feelings and perceptions.

How do you see the plant en-hancing spiritual growth in a person?

One of the supple aspects of the plant is the net effect for the fol-

lowing day. In my journey, I prefer to use the medicine at the end of the day for pain management, etc. In the morning when I do my med-itation, I find that there is greater ease and depth. It is easier to drop into a deep sense of connection with all that is.

What do you see as the plant's natural force in the world?

When we get beyond the current struggles regarding federal laws etc., we may come back to greater acceptance of use for paper, cloth, oil, fuels, medicinal properties such as CBD’s, etc.

Does cannabis give people a higher potential to experi-ence spiritual awakenings or focus more clearly on that

side of their life?

One of the schools of Buddhism is the “sudden” school, while an-other school is for the long haul. Whether sudden or over the long haul, when enlightenment comes, it shatters our previous percep-tion of our life from one seeking the extraordinary to seeing the gift of the ordinary and experientially knowing that there is no separa-tion. Because the effect of canna-bis is nearly instantaneous, it helps the mind and attention to pivot to-wards the experience of the “Eter-nal Now Moment.”

How long has cannabis been used spiritually by humans?

I believe that part of our native in-telligence as humans is that we are

curious beings. We try this and that even if it literally kills us. We just need to know. Both in Africa and in India, cannabis has been used for centuries and has become a part of their lives and spirituality. I don’t exactly know the timeframe or when it became documented as part of our human story.

When do you think it became less normal for people to use cannabis in a spiritual man-ner?

The culture of prohibition and oth-er factors in society created a cul-ture of stimulus gratification. This addiction to stimulation keeps in-dividuals living on the surface of life without necessarily knowing that there is more to life. I believe that the gangs are an expression of

the need for the part of spiritual-ity that families otherwise pro-vide. Yet, when we examine what is missing in our lives it always comes back to a need for a mean-ingful sense of connection … spir-ituality with meaningful rights of passage (ritual). Just like there is a ritual of breaking bread together there is a ritual of passing the pipe together. I believe that cannabis is part of the ultimate solution for these challenges.

Do you see the new under-standing of the plant's bene-fits as an opportunity for this to be a more widely accepted spiritual practice?

Yes. All of the great spiritual tra-ditions see life as sacred and pre-cious. The exploration of CBD’s

and other cannabinoids as treat-ments for cancer and other ail-ments opens the door for greater social acceptance. The challenge goes back to the fight between the pharmaceutical companies and

medical science; although this time I believe there is more social awareness thanks to advocates and proponents fighting for the cause.

No matter what your spiritual be-liefs are, cannabis does not dis-criminate. There is a major mis-understanding surrounding using cannabis in a spiritual sense. I be-

lieve that we all long for a deeper insight into who we are spiritually, physically, and mentally. Can-nabis helps one to better explore the many possibilities of our inner most thoughts.

The next time you are using can-nabis take a moment to observe your spiritual side, whatever that may be. You may be surprised at what you learn about yourself.

cannabis ... helps the mind and attention to pivot towards the experience of the “Eternal Now Moment.”


In my travels around the world every year when winter comes to California, I meet people who are awestruck over the freedom we enjoy as pot smokers in the Golden State. The fact that you can easily obtain a doctor’s recommendation which allows you to legal-ly cultivate an almost unlimited number of plants and possess up to 3 lbs. of ganja for an ailment as benign as headaches, insomnia, or cramps… The fact that in many coun-ties, law enforcement agencies have made even recreational marijuana possession, cul-tivation, and sales their lowest priority… The fact that California is home to some of the very best cannabis on Earth… That alone is enough to make stoners the world over green with the good kind of envy. But when I tell them some of the other wonders of Califor-nia, such as the mind-boggling array of high-grade available; that L.A. has more cannabis collectives than they have Starbucks; that I’ve never even seen schwag in California; and that the buds are purple and frosty like am-ethyst crystals — that’s when their lips part and their eyes get dreamy, and they say we live in Fairyland. And we do.

While the debate over marijuana “legal-ization” intensifies in California, I am re-minded that medical marijuana is already le-gal in this state. Thanks to Prop. 215, we live in a pot paradise. And now that the Obama administration has said it will stop busting people who are operating within the gener-ous restrictions of medical pot laws, the grass is even greener on the Cali side.

If the legality of marijuana in California is in question, here is one way to answer it: How do the police respond to incidents of marijuana cultivation, possession, and sales that occur in compliance with Prop. 215? We all know what happens when people who grow pot illegally get busted. But have you ever wondered what happens when a grower gets raided even though his operation is fully legal under Prop. 215? Though many read-ers outside Northern California might find this hard to believe, when you’re complying with the law, some cops actually protect you, just like any other law-abiding citizen. Take

for instance the true and truly highlarious story of “Lynx” (name changed to protect the grower), a Prop. 215 grower whose perfectly legal operation got raided one 4/20 in the not-too-distant past. It’s just one example of paradise under Prop. 215.

Lynx obtained his medical marijuana recommendation two years ago. Before that, he made a long career as a licensed massage therapist. Recently, on 4/20 (our holiest of holi-daze), Lynx woke to aggressive knocking on his front door, followed by loud forced en-try that startled him from his sleep. He leapt out of bed and into his worst nightmare. He rushed to his front room where he was faced with four police officers lined in a row, guns drawn. “Happy 420,” one of them chuckled.

Through the window, Lynx could see ev-eryone else who lived on the property lined up on the porch, in handcuffs. He looked frantically at the scene that surrounded him. One cop loudly demanded to know if there were other people in the house. Lynx re-sponded truthfully that there were not. “Why are you looking around like that, then?” the cop yelled.

“Dude,” Lynx began, “I haven’t figured out whether this is really happening or if this is a nightmare! I’m looking around because I’m in shock! I just woke up!”

“We can see that, sleeping beauty,” the cop replied, referring to Lynx’s silk sleeping mask pulled down around his neck that had “Sleep-ing Beauty” written in cursive across it. And they laughed together.

Then they handcuffed him and led him to the porch with the rest of his housemates, where he noticed that the cops had brought a U-Haul truck, apparently expecting to haul all his medicine and grow equipment away.

Lynx knew he was complying with the law, but like every grower, feared this scenario the most, because, the truth is, nobody trusts the cops. The police confirmed that a disgruntled neighbor had reported Lynx for suspicion of growing ganja, but apparently the neighbor didn’t know that his operation was in full compliance with Prop. 215.

There were about a dozen officers scour-ing the property, including one whose pur-pose appeared to be psychological observa-tion — he did nothing other than observe Lynx and his detained friends, apparently evaluating their reactions and looking for clues in their body language.

One officer who had been searching the house came outside and asked Lynx, “Do you take LSD?”

“I have,” Lynx admitted, “but not in a long time; I had a few bad trips… Why do you ask?”

The officer replied, “Because your house is triiiiiippy…”

The same officer went back inside and then re-emerged with another unusual ques-tion. “Are you a rock star, like, from the ‘80s?” Apparently, he had found Lynx’s shiny blous-es, glittery eye shadow, and leopard-print satin smoking jackets! “I would sport these!” the cop chuckled – “If this was the ‘80s!”

“Um, no... I’m not a rock star like from the 80s,” Lynx replied to what seemed like a bizarre question to ask in the middle of a drug raid.

Another officer noticed Lynx’s pellet gun. “What’s this?” he asked, approaching it. Al-though it looks like a real gun, it is not. Under Prop. 215, it is illegal to have firearms on the premises where medical marijuana is grown, and Lynx’s grow operation was in full compli-ance with the law. The cop picked it up, saw that it was not a real gun, and started point-ing it, looking through the scope, aiming the laser at various objects — playing with it, re-ally.

Meanwhile, some buff and burly officers were dispatched to gain entry into the locked grow room. “I have the keys,” Lynx offered, but the cop dismissed it with a casual wave of the hand. “That’s alright. This is the only job

these muscle-heads have on these missions. Let ‘em have their fun,” he said, referring to the fact that they were eager to make themselves useful by kicking the door down.

When they entered the grow room, they found a rather dilap-idated-looking set-up, as this was the harvest phase and Lynx had already topped the plants three times. Only tiny, larfy buds remained. Multiple prescriptions were taped to the wall in plain view in prepa-ration for an eventuality such as this. Lynx had enough prescriptions to cover the number of plants he was growing. He was not over the limit. But he did have a huge number of plants.

As a matter of patient privacy, cops are not allowed to ask what illness you use medical cannabis for. But they can ask how much you smoke. Lynx exaggerated his intake, saying he smoked an ounce a week. The cop pulled out his calculator, entered some numbers on the keypad, then asked, “So what do you do with the other 9 lbs.?”

“Umm…” Lynx wasn’t exactly sure how to answer that question. “You don’t have to answer,” the cop offered. “You can call a law-

yer.” Then he added, “Why don’t you come down with us and we’ll talk about it.”

But Lynx had nothing to hide. He genuinely wanted to be accom-modating. “I don’t wanna call a lawyer. I’ll answer whatever ques-tions I can. But I don’t wanna leave with you, though. I’d rather just talk to you right here.” And since he wasn’t under arrest, he wasn’t obligated to go. The cop continued with more questions, mostly ones Lynx could answer comfortably. But then he asked a technical ques-tion Lynx was not prepared for.

“Are you a caregiver? Or a collective?”Hmm… Lynx recognized this as a crucial question to answer cor-

the critical difference between the two, but he hadn’t had a chance to read it yet. He could see the pamphlet just there on the table, so close, yet so far out of reach. He knew that the way he answered this question could mean the difference between his freedom and going to jail, with major legal implications that he would not be able to undo once he spoke. So, he was honest.

“Listen,” he began. “Um… Just between you and me, I don’t really know how to answer that question… so, would you, like, be a bro and like, tell me how to answer this one?”

The cop looked up from his notepad and into Lynx’s eyes. “We’ll come back to that one,” he generously replied.

Lynx admitted that he took his excess medi-cine to dispensaries, and he had kept his receipts to prove it. When that came to light, there was a sudden shift in the tone of the investigation. The officer told him, “You’re not the type of guy we’re looking for, buddy. I can tell that you’re not trying to get rich off this. You’re doing it for the right reasons.” And just like that, he released the handcuffs. Suddenly the cops were calling off the raid and packing up to leave.

At that point, another officer, who had seen the grow room, came to Lynx and said, “So I no-ticed your grow room looks a little raggedy. You might consider growing a more lucrative strain

and getting your vegetative room timed better with your flowering room so you can reload quicker. You have the potential to make this a much more lucrative operation.”

Lynx, stunned by all that had just transpired, still managed to ask the officers one last ques-tion. “So, I just wanna make sure I have this straight: It is okay that I sell to dispensaries?”

The officer turned to him sharply and stern-ly, finger pointed: “You don’t ‘sell’ anything… It’s ‘cost-recovery.’”

“Cost recovery?’”“Cost recovery,” he repeated, being, well, a

bro. Some other officers went about releasing

the rest of the people who had been hand-cuffed, while others made their exit. The lead cop handed Lynx his business card and said, “We’re not the ones you should be concerned about. There’s been a lot of marijuana-relat-ed theft in the area. You call us if you need us. We’re here to protect you.” With that, he climbed into his black SUV and smiled, “And you tell your friends, your local county sher-iff ’s department are nice guys.”

And then they left, leaving Lynx and his housemates free to carry on 4/20 in the way they had originally intended. Knowing that Prop. 215 really does protect growers, Lynx now rests in his “Sleeping Beauty” mask

more peacefully. A surprise grow-op raid from the cops

that ends with law enforcement offering po-lice protection and grow tips? So goes life un-der Prop. 215. Obviously, not all drug raids end like Lynx’s, and growing marijuana is a painstaking challenge in itself. But if you’re willing to grow within the generous confines of the legal limits, we in California possess what few people on the planet get to enjoy: the freedom to legally grow a plethora of su-per dank buds. An entire green economy has sprouted up around medical marijuana, and the fact that people are now able to make a humble living raising the plant is a grower’s pipe dream come true. Prop. 215 gives us that freedom, and law enforcement actually pro-tects it – further evidence that medical mari-juana is already legal in California.

Although Dr. Walker's Daze is still my new favorite strain, Massachusetts Super Skunk produces one of my all-time favorite highs. Famously known as the parent (along with '91 Chem/Dawg) of the original Sour Diesel strain, Mass was a rare and outstanding phenotype discovered in an '86 seed pack from the Super Sativa Seed Company's (now Sensi Seeds) Super Skunk by a grower named Weasel. Unrelated to the more common Dutch Super Skunk, Massachusetts Super Skunk is a potent and magical strain that will leave you wondering if some pixies sprinkled a little faerie dust in your bowl.

All last summer in California when I requested a cannabis that would be appropriate for a day at the park, in the sun, at a festival, on a road-trip, or riding on the back of my boyfriend's motorcycle, the recommendation I most commonly received (after Dr. Walker's Daze, that is) was Massachusetts Super Skunk. It quickly became one of my favorite strains. And in spite of the frequency with which I smoked it (almost daily), I never got tired of it, and I never developed a tolerance. Every subsequent high seemed just as magical as the first.

Massachusetts Super Skunk is a phenomenal, highly energetic strain that serves as a perfectly functional daytime med. It is befitting of a day full of promise, wonder, and enjoyment of life's simple pleasures. If you have an epic day to look forward to, Mass puts you in the space to appreciate it fully, focusing your attention on the little things—

like the sun on your skin, the sweet smell of summer, the delicate breeze on your neck, and the heady blossoming of springtime--that make any day a perfect day, regardless of what you accomplish with it. Although it is not commonly found, Mass is widely held as one of the premier skunk strains, and highly regarded among ganja enthusiasts. Don't worry if you can't find any to sample for yourself; I smoked some for you! Come, my friends. Let's get massacred! (In the best possible way, of course!)

The smell off the grinder: Sweet and sour, dank and skunky. Although some phenotypes of this skunk are of the road-kill variety, this one has a lingering, sweet fruitiness. "One thing i know," one stoner among us confessed as he inhaled the freshly ground herb, "I can never get enough." Apparently not; he plans to make a medicine bag of it to wear around his neck, so as to never be too far away from that incredible smell!

The dry hit: Mentholated, mildly spicy, sweet and sour, with a hint of mint. The dry hits on their own were enough to keep us satisfied for several minutes.

The flavor: Featuring strong Chem/Dawg and Diesel similarities, Mass has a flavor of pungent, sweet and sour skunk fuel with soft creamy undertones to round out the sharp petrol notes. The taste alone, which left a cloud of flavor lingering in our mouths, had us enchanted...

The cloud: The smell of Mass recently puffed is highly aromatic. The smoke is very

thick and tasty. Its predominant aroma is on the sweeter side of skunk, but it is punctuated with a soft citrus, somewhat of a cross between lemon and mango.

The high: Massachusetts Super Skunk offers an uplifting sativa high that ranges from a mild, very natural-feeling buzz to an electrical, energetic charge. Surprisingly versatile, it also can produce a clear, introspective, cerebral experience, relaxing

your mind and body, and creating space for clarity and self-reflection. It is excellent at stimulating creativity for spacey projects, without making you feel too spaced-out yourself. And insofar as it focuses your attention on the present moment, this happy herb has a way of reminding you that everything is irie and that you are quite content just as you are. It leaves you empowered to maximize the happiness of your experience. In the end, you may not remember what you did that day... but you'll remember getting kissed by the sun,

"a potent and magical strain"

Massachusetts Super Skunk (sativa dominant)


enchanted by the flowers, and the warm breeze dancing with your hair... and you'll recall that the appreciation of these simple things alone was enough to make a perfect day. I have heard that Mass is also useful for mild pain relief, although as I myself only rarely experience pain, I do not know this from personal experience. This creeper has an onset of about 10 minutes.

The grow: Massachusetts Super Skunk is a clone-only strain that reportedly is easy to clone, quick to root, and requires little attention to grow happily. It is a medium-yielder that grows strong and stocky in a Christmas tree shape, featuring dark green, thick indica leaves. It likes to be fed heavily, and requires room to grow in a well-defined space to maximize yield. Proud and erect, its dense, sturdy buds are always happy to see you.

Even though this strain may appear ready to harvest after about 8 weeks, it is essential to let it mature about 10 or 11 weeks to bring it to its fullest potential. Cure it properly to

ensure maximum flavor and smell, and enjoy watching people grin with happiness the moment the jar is opened.

Although this closely-guarded boutique strain is somewhat of a rare find, it has been known to float around the Northern California area from time to time. Don't hesitate to pick up some of this primo herb should you find it. It's an excellent strain to have on hand to draw happiness from a rainy day, or to enhance an already groovy mood. Blaze it with friends or on your own, as long as you blaze it!

Cannabis ColoradoBy Mr. Natural

In February 2009, following President Obama’s inauguration and the memo from Eric Holder announcing that the DEA was loosening pros-ecutions in states which medical marijuana is legal, a huge rush ensued to open medical marijuana dispensaries across the state of Colorado. Between February 2009 and the beginning of 2010, over 350 clubs have opened in the city of Denver and it is conservatively “guesstimat-ed” that over 500 clubs are located in the Denver metro area.Colorado enacted its medical marijuana legislation in 2000, after state voters approved the ballot measure. Although medical marijuana has been legal since 2000, only a handful of clubs opened in the first de-cade. Most of them were clubs that had organized in western states and added operations in Colorado with limited success. While medical marijuana was legal in the state, very few patients were willing to get a doctor’s recommendation while Federal prosecutions still taking place in California, Washington, and Oregon. So the legal market remained stifled with limited sales because of little access to doctors writing rec-ommendations and patients willing to receive them.

After Eric Holder announce that the DEA was curbing prosecution for medical marijuana in states which it was legal, a huge influx of patients, providers, and doctors began coming out of the woodwork. Now, vast arrays of players have opened up clubs across the Denver Metro area. Right now the market is plump with new patients signing up daily. The Colorado Department of Public Health reported that in one day in December they received over 1800 applications for medical marijuana cards. Demand is way up and high quality marijuana is still relatively hard to find. Most clubs have a limited number of flavors on the shelf, usually numbering no more than a dozen. Although quality buds are not hard to find for experienced locals, newbies and inexpe-rienced patients may have a harder time finding top quality buds at a reasonable rate. Experienced patients relate finding good medicine to finding an excel-lent bottle of merlot in the local area. Just like a fine wine, you are not going to find it at the local seven eleven. You will most likely have to hunt for high quality marijuana, and when you do find it there is nor-mally a premium to pay. But if you can find those high end clubs, you are sure to have an enjoyable experience. There are some quality clubs offering an enjoyable experience and some great smoke. Local clubs include The Healing Center in Westminster, offering up a great selection of meds in a cozy environment. The Healing Center offers excellent concentrates, tinctures, edibles and always has high quality meds. Their friendly staff makes you feel comfortable with your purchases. Another local favorite is Altitude Wellness Center, current-ly stocking over 40 flavors of indoor and 6 outdoor flavors. Top shelf flavors include Cynaxx, ChemDawg, Grand Daddy Purple, Headband, Train Wreck, the tastiest Sour Diesel in town, an a Colorado favorite, a Ft Collins strain known as “Cough!” . As well as a goo selection of Con-centrates including peanut butter hash, water press hash, pressed kief, and old school gold stamped black hash. Select clones are for sale and

&a full line of T.G.A Seeds, All locally produced and procured for Colora-do Patients. In addition, Altitude Wellness Center carries a wide array of medical delivery devices including vaporizers, papers, and some of the finest hand blown glass by local Colorado artists, as well as glass from top notch national artists.

With over 70,000 patients on the Colorado Medical Marijuana registry (and it’s growing daily), Local and state municipalities are struggling to cope with the changes. Most conservative municipalities’ flat out deny business applications forcannabis collectives, while others struggle to zone and implement regulations in an industry that is growing as fast as cannabis itself. Denver recently passed a Medical Marijuana Dispen-sary ordinance, requiring written applications, strict compliance with a slew of regulations and a stiff $5000 application fee. While Colo-rado residents seem to be taking medical marijuana in stride, some clubs might be pushing the envelope too far. Many Denver residents are dismayed to see large marijuana leafs flooding into advertisements and storefront billboards viewable for all the public to see.

Law enforcement remains a large issue with regards to cannabis col-lectives. As with any new business in the community, it has been scru-tinized and a lot of negative press has also been reported. Although many thefts and burglaries surrounding marijuana were prevalent before its legalization for medicinal purposes, few of these crimes were reported. With the legalization, many burglaries and robberies have been highlighted in the press. Even with this negative press it has also been reported that dispensaries in Colorado have a crime rate lower than Liquor stores and are equivalent to crime rates re-ported for pharmacies in the state. With that being said, law enforce-ment is still active in Colorado. Jeff Sweetin, head of D.E.A. in Colo-rado, recently said on television news that he plans on continuing

busts in Colorado for large grow and “criminal operations” in the state. Citing that medical marijuana dispensaries in Colorado are still illegal under Federal law and that he intends on doing his job by shutting down any operation he sees fit to do so. Now, just as in California, many clubs are open operating in a gray state law that doesn’t comply with Federal Law. Many still live in fear of arrest over large grow ops intended to supply local clubs. However, there are a bunch of dedicated activists fighting to maintain people’s rights. Rob Corry is a talented attorney fighting daily court cases in support of medical marijuana is a man who loses very few cases be-cause he is consistently prepared for the fight. Attorney Brian Vicente is the head of Sensible Colorado, a powerful patients advocacy group. Mason Tvert, whose efforts decriminalized cannabis for all persons over 18 in the city of Denver, along with his efforts to legalize mari-juana with advocacy group S.A.F.E.R. (Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation). Warren Edson, who assisted with the final draft of Colo-rado’s medical marijuana bill, passed in 2000, firmly placing medical marijuana into the constitution of Colorado. Medical Marijuana has cemented itself into the fray of Colorado Busi-ness. Some municipalities and legislators are looking to bring in large tax revenues via retail sales taxes or specialty marijuana tax initiatives. Although marijuana in Colorado is still on shaky ground, there is no indication that it’s about to be stamped out. It is unclear how Federal prosecution will rear its ugly head but it seems bright days are ahead for savvy ganga-preneurs in the Mile High City and across the state,

ACTIVIST CORnER


It was, from the beginning, a highly charged situation: a driver who was allegedly high on marijuana crashes his pickup

truck into a car that had been stopped by a CHP officer. The crash results in the death of the driver of the stopped vehicle and leaves the CHP officer paralyzed.

Investigators later determine that the driver of the pickup had pur-chased marijuana and “marijuana edibles” earlier in the day from a dispensary in Compton, operated by Virgil Grant. Local law en-forcement had been trying to rid itself of Grant’s dispensary for some time. Now they really had some ammunition.

Virgil Grant had grown up in Compton and knew the area well. He opened model dispensaries that served the sick and dying in poor areas, places considered too dangerous to be viable by most. He was respected by his fellow dispensary operators as an honest man operating clean dispensaries. One of his patient cultivators told me he was always a gentleman, whose word was his bond.

His dispensary in the City of Los Angeles was one of the pre-ICO registered dispensaries (the PICORDs) . His last public activity be-fore being taken into custody was to compile a list of the remaining PICORDs at the request of the Los Angeles City Council.

But after the fateful car accident, local law enforcement had the horrific though unproven circumstances they needed to call in the federal government, which they promptly did. Like Charles Lynch, Thomas Kikuchi and Stephanie Landa, who were all pros-ecuted because local law enforcement approached federal pros-ecutors when California Medical Marijuana Laws made local

indictments impossible, Grant was tried in federal court, where there is no medical marijuana defense.

The fact that the driver who committed the vehicular manslaugh-ter was high on Ecstasy, something Virgil Grant never sold anyone, and that the accident was the result of this, rather than marijuana consumption, was apparently proved up at trial, because it did not enter the dialog nor have any effect on Virgil’s sentencing.

And why would the prosecution care? They had a better way to put Virgil away: threaten to prosecute his wife, the mother of his children, if he didn’t plead out. And Virgil, being the kind of guy he was, was not going to put the mother of his children in jail.

So on March 22nd, with his wife and mother present, as well as representatives from ASA, PAN, GLACA, and LPOP, Virgil Grant stood before a judge and listened to him mis-characterize his dis-pensary operations, then impose an unbelievably harsh sentence: six years in prison.

The court maintained it could have been worse: by designating Vir-gil a career offender, jail time would have doubled. But here the judge’s mercy ended. Though he was convicting Virgil of selling drugs, the judge refused to mandate participation in the Bureau of Prison’s drug program which would have shaved as much as a year off Grant’s incarceration time.

The one thing the judge did recommend was that Virgil’s sentence be served as close to Los Angeles as possible.

Activists and dispensary operators in the audience were appalled. His lawyer was stunned. Robert Rosen, in remarks made to Virgil’s friends and family after the sentence was imposed, indicated he thought his client would have drawn no more than thirty months.

“This is insane,” he remarked, “I can’t think of another case like this that drew this sort of sentence.”

The only inspiring moment in this dark event was the dignity and strength of Grant’s mother and wife, who sat together in the courtroom and stoically endured the unbelievably harsh sentence. They had no choice. Bailiffs had cautioned them that if they cried or gave any indication of distress, they would be evicted from the courtroom.

WAl-MArt Fires MeDiCAl CAnnAbis PAtient With CAnCer AnD brAin tuMor in MiChigAn

Advocates Boycott- Joseph Casias is a 29-year-old sinus cancer patient with an inopperable brain tumor that uses cannabis medicines to treat his symptoms. In March, Wal-Mart fired him after he was drug tested following an on-the-job injury. His manager was aware of his condition and assumed it was okay for him to use this doctor recommended medicine. He was wrong and ordered to fire Casias by the company. “The manager told me he was sorry and he had no choice. He said he wished he could help me out,” Casias said. “They went and got my personal belongings, and I walked out of the store.”

Wal-Mart responded to public outcry with a canned response stating: “We are sympathetic to Mr. Casias’ condition,” he said. However, like so many other employers, “we have to consider the overall safety of our customers and associates, including Mr. Casias, when making a difficult decision like this.”

The company may have overstepped its bound though, as Michigan has workers rights laws that may make this action illegal. “You can’t discriminate against a person if you have a medical marijuana card, and if they use it for medicinal purposes,” said James McCurtis, a spokesman for Michigan’s Department of Community Health that oversees the medical marijuana program.

Legal actions may be taken, as the American Civil Liberties Union in Michigan has taken notice of the injustice. Dan Korobkin, a lawyer with the ACLU in Michigan stated, “Wal-Mart is sending a shameful message that people who become ill and have chronic pain have to chose between their health and leaving a job.” Casias has

contacted the Michigan Department of Civil Rights.

AMeriCAns For sAFe ACCess sues los Angeles

ASA filed a lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles claiming that certain provisions in a recently adopted regulatory ordinance would shut down virtually all dispensaries in the city. The local medical marijuana law passed by the City Council and signed by Mayor Villaraigosa on February 3rd requires dispensaries to find a new location within 7 days after the ordinance takes effect. In order to comply with the ordinance, dispensaries must be located at least 1,000 feet from schools, parks, libraries, churches and other so-called "sensitive uses," and cannot abut or be across the street from any residence, which excludes almost all commercial areas in the city.

"The dispensary ordinance passed by the Los Angeles City Council might have been reasonable, if not for some onerous provisions," said ASA Chief Counsel Joe Elford, who filed the lawsuit today. "The requirement to find a new location within 7 days is completely unreasonable and undermines the due process of otherwise legal medical marijuana dispensaries." Despite spending more than two years to develop regulations, the Los Angeles City Council passed an ordinance without maps to show where dispensaries could locate in order to comply with the law.

A recent study commissioned by Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck, comparing the number of crimes in 2009 at the city's banks and medical marijuana dispensaries, found that 71 robberies had occurred at the more than 350 banks in the city, compared to 47 robberies at the more than 500 medical marijuana facilities. Chief Beck observed that, "banks are more likely to get robbed than medical marijuana

dispensaries," and that the claim that dispensaries attract crime "doesn't really bear out."

The ad will play 18 times a day through May 31st to the 1.5 million people per day audience of New York’s busiest street. NORML is planning another ad release for 4/20/2010.

“Regulating the adult use of marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol could raise over HYPERLINK "http://norml.org/index.cfm?Group_ID=7380"$30 billion annually in new tax revenue, while saving an additional $15 billion per year in law enforcement costs,” NORML Foundation Executive Director Allen St. Pierre said. “This tax season, why not ask your elected politicians why the federal government continues to spends billions of tax dollars enforcing this failed and archaic public policy.”

The ad was initially denied but Change.org organized a petition of over 10,000 supporters to press the issue and CBS finally decided to allow it. CBS formally HYPERLINK "http://criminaljustice.change.org/blog/view/cbs_reverses_decision_agrees_to_run_pro -mari juana_ad"changed their position shortly after receiving the petitions. "NORML would publicly like to thank Change.org for taking on this important political and First Amendment issue," St. Pierre said. "We would also like to thank the thousands of concerned citizens who contacted CBS on NORML's behalf. Without your participation, this important NORML ad campaign would not have been possible.

leno bill MAkes Possession An inFrACtion

California State Senator Mark Leno (D) introduced a bill to make cannabis an infraction instead of a misdemeanor. His initial draft of the bill made it a $250 fine instead of a $100 fine like it is in most areas now. After input from the community he realized his “drafting error” and introduced an amendment to rectify the situation. State Bill 1449 would more clearly define the “crime” of possession for what it is, as most misdemeanors carry jail time and cannabis normally does not. He believes it will save the State time, energy, and most of all money in not having to deal with long court cases over misdemeanor possession.

City oF sACrAMento DrAFt orDinAnCe hAs CoMMunity uP in ArMs

Sacramento faces the same challenges many municipalities have faced or are facing across the State; regulating cannabis. The cities proposal mirrors many that attempt

to restrict collectives’ proximity to sensitive uses and proposes to limit the amount of collectives to twelve. This is an attempt to reign in the proliferation of collectives seen in 2009 where the number exploded to 39 that are registered and estimated at 50 by some. The city did not act in time to limit the collectives prior to them opening, instead allowing them to register. Now they say they will weed them out by their restrictions and if over twelve remained they would go to a lottery system.

Ryan Landers of the Compassionate Coalition sees the limits on safe access as a threat to patients’ well being. "This proposal would kill myself and other patients in similar situations," Stated Landers. "You're going to close clubs where hundreds of patients get marijuana. This is a huge problem for the sick." Many collective operators and patient coalitions have threatened litigation to combat the city’s actions, calling them unconstitutional.

nAPA City CounCil ProPoses striCt regulAtion on single ColleCtive

The proposal by the council to limit the number of collectives in Napa to one and to limit the number of patients served, and force them into commercial or light industrial areas. Some complained that the limitations were too strict prompting one councilperson to threaten the opposed stating, “If one is not enough, let’s have zero. People should be careful about asking for the moon.” The limits on patient members are to try and limit the amount of folks traveling to Napa and limit it more to local patients. The council also wants to limit personal patient grows to 25 square feet with an exemption in special cases. The city would allow the dispensing collective to have a warehouse space to cultivate for their patients in a light industrial area of the city. While some were opposed, many saw the merits in the cities proposal and supported their efforts.

Ask Ed™MArijuAnA QuEstions?

I have been storing some seeds in a film canister in my desk drawer. Are they still alive or have they died?

T.V.P.

Some of the seeds are prob-ably still alive if the room (and the desk drawer) were kept at room temperature (72 degrees F) or lower. Seeds die faster when kept at higher tempera-tures.

The conditions favoring seed viability are darkness, cool temperature and low humid-ity. Seed life is extended dra-matically by storing them in a refrigerator at 40 degrees F or below. For very long-term storage, seeds can be kept in a freezer. Thawing and refreez-ing can damage the seeds so make sure to thaw them only when ready to plant.

To prepare your seeds for planting, soak them overnight in a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution. Plant them about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch deep in sterile planting mix or hydro-ponic medium and water with a seed starting solution. Keep the seeds moist but not so wet that they don’t have contact with air.

Does lighting affect the curing and drying process? Does hang-ing the plant upside down while curing affect the quality of the finished product?

Will

Bright light degrades THC so it’s always recommended that marijuana be cured and dried in a dark or dimly lit space.

Growers often hang plants upside down to cure and dry. The large fan leaves hang over the buds. This slows the dry-ing process, which leads to a smoother smoke. It is also a convenient way to store the drying plants while allowing air to circulate between the branches.

Hanging the plants does not increase potency. When the plant is cut, no more THC or other cannabinoids are pro-duced. Resin doesn’t flow down the plant stem to the buds. THC is produced on site in the glands during the plant’s growth phases and doesn’t migrate to other parts of the plant during harvesting.

Drying the plant whole is only one method of curing and dry-ing. Many growers prefer to cut the plant and manicure the

buds while they are still wet. When the branches are still moist, the glands are pliable and are less likely to cascade off the plant.

How do I convert THC to the ac-tive form from the inactive? If I heat it up to about ~230* F, or 106* C will it activate?

Trevor T.

THC is produced extra-cellular-ly in the gland membrane. It is held in a relatively inactive form THCA or THC acid. The THCA molecule contains a carbon-ate ring that is weakly bonded. When the carbonate tail is re-moved the molecule becomes much more active. Carbonate is COOH, one carbon atom (C), two oxygen atoms (O) and one hydrogen atom (H). You may have noticed that the two oxy-gen atoms and single hydro-gen atom seem familiar. It’s the formula for water.

Drying the grass releases the water molecule from the bond. Residual carbonates are re-leased shortly before the burn, as the cannabis heats up.

Activating cannabinoids to be ingested is of more concern. Without heating, many of the

water molecules will retain their weak bond with the car-bon atom, keeping the can-nabinoid inactive. Heating the cannabis above water’s boiling point of 212* F or 100* C breaks the bond quickly. However, a lower temperature, 100* F or 33* C will provide enough en-ergy for the bond to break, al-though it takes longer. A cooler room with very low humidity will also destabilize the bond, gradually causing the water to move from the carbon atom to the air.

Is there a list of what alleles are dominant to others? I want to know what will show up when I cross my parents.

Mike

No genetic map of cannabis has been published. We know that some characteristics are dominant. These include:

UPRIGHT – prostrate: Crosses of prostrate plants with up-right plants resulted in upright plants in the first generation. A few of the F1’s showed more bushiness than the upright parent. However, the allele for prostrate growth is recessive.

AUTO-FLOWERING – light-

g r o W i n g

seed life expectancy DrYinG QuEstions

regulated: Crosses of pure auto-flowering ruderalis with light-sensitive indica and sati-va plants resulted in auto-flow-ering F1’s. Almost all of the F2 crosses were auto-flowering as well. This indicates that several genes are involved.

Most characteristics seem to share dominance. They are both expressed in the progeny. An example is leaf shape. Indi-cas have a webbed leaf. Sativas have long, thin leaflets. The hybrid shape is an intermedi-ate between the two. Other characteristics in which differ-ent versions of genes, called alleles, have shared or partial dominance include:

THC-CBD ratios: Shared domi-nance was proven in crosses of Hortifarm single cannabinoid varieties carried out in Rapha-el Mechoulam’s lab. A single cannabinoid variety is one in which a single cannabinoid, for instance, THC or CBD is expressed, but the other can-

nabinoids are not produced by the plant. Two single-cannab-inoid varieties, each express-ing a different cannabinoid, were crossed. The progeny produced reduced amounts of each of the two cannabinoids. This indicated that they shared their expression of cannabi-noids. Although environmen-tal conditions affect potency they do not affect the ratios of cannabinoids, which are ge-netically determined.

Time to maturity: Crosses of fast maturing plants with slow maturing plants result in plants with an intermediate ripening time.

Odor: Plants pick up odors from both parents. The stron-ger odor seems more domi-nant, but the progeny is often less pungent than the smellier parent and more pungent than the less smelly one.

Size: Crosses of tall and short plants result in F1 plants of

middle size.

Leaf, plant and bud formation: F1 crosses show characteristics of each parent. This includes bushiness and branching pat-terns.

The book Marijuana Botany by Robert Clark has more detailed information on this subject.

What could happen to me le-gally if my employer drug test-ed me and it came up positive for THC?

Joshua

Your employer could fire you for a confirmed positive drug test. Another possibility is that you could be required to at-tend drug treatment in order to keep your job. Your employ-er could also retaliate against you by going to the police.

If you were reported to the police, the information would

probably be ignored. It would not be strong enough for the police to obtain a warrant be-cause the informants couldn’t pinpoint when you were in pos-session. However, it could trig-ger an investigation including surveillance of your residence, searching through your gar-bage, talking to neighbors and trying to entrap you using the “knock and talk” technique.

It’s improbable that your em-ployer would report you to the police or that the police would investigate you based on that tip. Improbable, but it probably has happened more than we know.

Can exposure to marijuana plants have an impact on drug testing? I was recently work-ing in a garden. I'm scheduled to have a drug test in a week. I was wondering if this past weekend's activities would have any negative bearing? I

have abstained from inhaling anything for three weeks now and feel that after four weeks most THC will have left my system. Is this correct?

R.S.

You need not worry. You have a low level of THC metabolites in your system after abstain-ing from use for a month. Lit-tle THC is absorbed through the skin. However, you prob-ably breathed in some glands when you were gardening. Drug tests are calibrated to detect recent use. Your ab-staining has allowed your body to eliminate almost all of the suspect substance.

Is it possible to clone a plant once it is in flowering? Should I cut the bud part away or leave it? What light cycle should I use? Can I root the cutting in water?

Liona

Cuttings can be taken from plants when they are flow-ering. The cuttings will root whether they are kept in flow-ering or forced into vegeta-tive growth by extending the lighted period each day to at least 18 hours. Cutting the bud off will not shorten the time it takes for the cutting to root or to revert to vegetative growth. The cutting can be rooted in the same way as vegetative cuttings. If you choose to root it in water, keep the water temperature at 72-74 degrees F. Change the water every few days. Once you see root initia-tion, use a dilute flowering for-mula to promote root growth for about a week. Then the cut-ting should be ready to plant. When transplanting, make sure to keep the soil moist. Switch to a vegetative formula to promote leaf growth.

By Richard Lee

The campaign to legalize, tax, and regulate cannabis in the

state of California in 2010 is taking off.

A groundswell of grassroots sup-port from throughout California has propelled the campaign past its sig-nature gathering goal, and the cam-paign has now secured upwards of 700,000 signatures from Cali-fornia voters who are ready to legalize, tax, and regulate cannabis.

The campaign turned the signatures in to county registrars of vot-ers in every county in California on Wednes-day, January 20th.

Once the signatures are reviewed and veri-fied by the Secretary of State, the Tax Cannabis 2010 initiative will be placed on the November 2010 state-wide ballot.

When passed by the voters, the Tax Cannabis 2010 initiative will:

• Regulate cannabis like alcohol: Allow adults 21 and older in Cali-fornia to posses up to one ounce of cannabis and cultivate 25 square feet (5 feet x 5 feet) for personal consumption.

• Give local governments the ability to tax and regulate the sale of can-nabis to adults 21 and older • Generate billions of dollars in rev-enue to fund what matters most in California: jobs, healthcare, public safety, schools and libraries, state parks, roads, transportation, and more The campaign is taking the early ac-tion necessary to chart a successful

course for the initiative. Campaign organizers are already on the ground working to mobilize hundreds of vol-unteers. And the campaign is taking advantage of cutting edge new me-dia technologies, working with the company that created the software that President Obama’s campaign used to expand their coalition, raise record amounts of money online, and turn out voters to the polls.

Every day, more and more Califor-nians are signing on as supporters of

the Tax Cannabis 2010 campaign. Current supporters include former California State Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata, former Orange County Judge Jim P. Gray, former Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriff Jeff Studdard, former San Francisco District Attorney Terence Hallinan, Drug Policy Alliance, the Interfaith Drug Policy Initiative, and more.

The absolute best way for West Coast Cannabis readers to get in-volved is to visit the campaign web-site, www.taxcannabis.org, where supporters can sign up to volunteer and make a financial contribution to the campaign. Readers should

also become fans of the campaign on Facebook (www.facebook.com/tax-cannabis) and fol-low the campaign on Twitter (www.twitter.com/taxcan-nabis) The Tax Cannabis 2010 campaign is very much looking forward to working with the West Coast Cannabis communi-ty to make legaliz-

ing, taxing, and regulating cannabis a reality in California in 2010.

IF YOU EAT CANNABIS...Food-based cannabis medicines affect patients differently than inhaled methods of medicating with cannabis.Eating too much cannabis can cause extreme drowsiness, dizziness, inability to concentrate, diminished ability to focus, rapid heartbeat, increases or decreases in blood pressure, need for sleep, and feelings of euphoria.

How can you ingest cannabis medicines safely? Learn to manage your dosage effectively...

1. Begin with 1/4 of a “dose” or small portion of product2. Wait for at least one hour and analyze the effects3. If necessary consume another 1/4 dose or small portion4. Wait for at least one more hour5. If necessary, consume part or all of the remaining product.

MCSCMEDICAL CANNABIS SAFETY COMMISSION

Ensure that your dosage level is appropriate before attempting to operate heavy machinery, motor vehicles, boats, or motorcycles. Do be aware of your surroundings and possible hazards, and prepare for your needs before taking medication.Remember: Edibles can vary greatly in potency. Products often contain multiple doses or lesser doses of medicine. Weight, metabolism, and eating habits can alter dosage effects. Taking medication on an empty stomach can intensify medicinal effects. Learn dosage management that works for you when ingesting cannabis medicine.If you feel you have eaten too much of a food-based medicine, do not panic, your symptoms will subside within a few hours. Remain calm. Stay hydrated and eat food to help symptoms pass. Edible cannabis is safe and will not cause any long-term toxicity.

Directions for Natural Relief CANNALGESIC Topical Spray and LotionLocate where pain is emanating from. Directly apply two sprays of the isopropyl

alcohol cannabis tincture. Flares cells allowing THC to penetrate. Cover with small dab of hempseed oil based lotion enjoying it’s pleasant fruity fragrance. Lotion is infused with cannabis also. Hempseed oil from lotion is absorbed into flared area

along with cannabis. Works immediately. Each set usually lasts 3 months for average patient. Very economical, and natural too.

Before OG Kush showed up, Romulan was the undisputed heavyweight champ of Indica meds. A strong, and I mean strong, pure Indica, Romulan is great for chronic pain. I have always enjoyed Romulan’s peppery flavor and super couchlock, but must admit I smoked a lot of Romulan in the 90’s and burned out on it after a while. Romulan grows fast and is a moderate yielder, but a little Romulan goes a loooong way. Give it some room outdoors and keep it topped, and you bushy little plat will give you a nice reward. Romulan, like Blue Dream, is another one of those strains that seems to be in every collective. If you are an Indica fan, check it out ASAP. But not if you a lot of things to do that day….. —editor@westcoastcannabis. com
