An email I received. What do you think?
Unbelievable. I expected ASA to do their research before spreading misinformation amongst our cannabis community! It's quite clear that they are siding with one of their biggest contributors, the dispensary giant Harborside Health Center. All they have done here is clean up some fear-based fallacies made by Harborside's government relations spokesperson a few days ago.
ASA, I also expected you to at least READ THE ORDINANCE! When people think that you MISLED them on the ordinance they'll lose credibility in the information put out there, undermining our collective effort as a well-informed patient community. For those of you that aren't spoon-fed ideas to think like your check writers, you can read a copy of the ordinance here: http://clerkwebsvr1.oaklandnet.com/attachments/25359.pdf
I read every page, and I can't find anything that REQUIRES dispensaries to purchase the medicine from one of the 4 large-scale permitted facilities proposed by the Ordinance. This is Harborside and other monopolists mobilizing and rallying advocates to oppose an ordinance that puts their market control in a precarious state. It makes sense, if you think about it- if you were reporting $22 million a year, why would you want anything to change?
Shouldn't these not-for-profit organizations protecting their own market control be distributing funds to more virtuous causes than protecting their own monopolies?
MYTH: Cultivation facilities will decrease strain variety eliminating the various therapeutic effects derived from different strains.
TRUTH: Strain variety has decreased due to fragmented farming. Since there is no communication between hundreds of small growers, we cannot foresee what the other is growing resulting in surpluses of certain genetics and shortages of others. Information about what to grow is driven by economics (what sells the most per pound and how frequently a strain can harvest) and is always 2-3 months old. If we know today Dispensary X is offering $4,000 a pound for Blue Dream, then everyone goes out and plants Blue Dream. When they harvest several weeks later and everyone shows up with the same strain, the information is obsolete, and we only get a homogenous strain that floods the market. With a large, centralized cultivation facility, many different zones for different strains can be designated and it's easy to monitor inventory levels of the various genetics. There's also the ability to cultivate lower yielding strains that may provide more medicinal value since their costs can be offset by higher yielding strains. Not only will there be more available strains to choose from, but the quality of medicine will be more consistent since the production happens in the same grow environment.
MYTH: The cultivation ordinance will eliminate hundreds of jobs
TRUTH: The cultivation ordinance would CREATE thousands of single-earner jobs for Oakland. This will include direct jobs for those working for the cultivation organization and also ancillary jobs for transportation, security, inspection, oversight, etc. Even at maximum production, 4 cultivation facilities would only produce a nominal percentage of California's aggregate demand, so it would not put small patient-farmers out of jobs. Oakland still has one of the most generous ordinances for patient-farmers.
MYTH: The cultivation ordinance would increase the cost of affordable medicine for patients
TRUTH: Unless I missed that class of Economics 101, doesn't more supply mean more competition, resulting in a decrease of prices and an increase in quality? With more cannabis inventory the cost for medicine will only decline. More competition also results in the bar being raised for quality of medicine, meaning you're getting a better bud for your buck. In reality it's uncertain whether these cultivation facilities will have a dramatic impact on pricing since the demand for cannabis is so large in California and there are no empirics for this particular scenario, even though many have extrapolated based on similar industries.
MYTH: Agricultural threats will jeopardize the safety of the crop
TRUTH: Larger cultivation facilities allow for higher investment in preventative technology, eliminating molds, mildew, and pests. The cultivation ordinance also will either require or give extra points to cultivation facilities that have 3rd party inspection processes, which provides an ADDITIONAL layer of safety inspection for patients. The city can also intervene and inspect the quality of medicine at any time. There is an inherent conflict of interest for dispensaries to inspect their own medicine (while we still commend those that do) because at the end of the day they need to move their inventory and may not be able to invest in sophisticated testing technology. If the inspection happens at the cultivation level and then also at the dispensary level, 2 separate layers of inspection have happened before the medicine reaches the patients. We all know a variety of problems can happen between cultivation and consumption. And again, larger, more centralized grow facilities allow for investment in preventative technology that is cost prohibitive of small grow operations, and also allows for investment in green technology, allowing for a smaller carbon footprint.
One of the city's major concerns in protecting public safety are the electrical fires, home invasions and hostile takeovers that have resulted by unregulated cultivation, expending limited city resources and creating a public nuisance. In a licensed cultivation scenario, the facility will be designed by licensed professionals and inspected for building safety, fire safety and for hazardous materials. To win a cultivation permit applicants will also have to submit a rigorous security plan to maximize safety of workers and prevent criminal activity and non-diversion. Applicants will also be given points for environmental friendliness, so we can prevent illegal dumpings, excess waste runoff and utility consumption.
I encourage everyone to attend tonight's Public Safety hearing, but please read the ordinance and don't feed into the propaganda being organized by a few small groups in an effort to protect their own self-interests and monopoly.
When: Today Tuesday, July 13 at 6:00 pm
Where: Oakland City Hall, Hearing Room One - 1st floor
Things are very tight this month and I am working on a few new projects. I will hopefully be able to make my July contribution sometime in the next few weeks. Check back for an update.
I got my gold pot leaf lapel pin the other day, and I don't know where to put it! I don't really where suits haha. Pretty cool though.

Please enjoy this well written expository essay on Medical Marijuana by University of Phoenix student Thesya L. Johnson for her Com/150 – Effective Essay Writing course.
Administrative Law Judge Francis L. Young (1988) mentioned in his conclusion and recommended decision from a previous petition “It would be unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious for DEA to continue to stand between those sufferers and the benefits of this substance” (Docket No.86-22, p. 68). Yet, it is now 2010 and medical science still asks for a rescheduling of the plant as a whole to be reduced from a schedule one substance into a schedule two.
When a drug is considered a schedule one through the federal government, it is to state the claim the drug has potential for abuse, it has no medical use nor is it safe to use under medically supervised conditions. To express an example of hypocrisy, it should be noted there are currently six United States citizens using medical marijuana through the federal government and are issued 300 joints per month. The joints issued are paper rolled and the patients are required to smoke them. They are not permitted to administer the drug to themselves through any other process such as – vaporizers, treats or pipes.
Though medical marijuana may suffer the approval from the federal government, patients and physicians alike (in certain states) have a better chance of receiving treatment or prescribing treatment to certain approved conditions; legal according to state. To give one a head start the current accepted states are – “Alaska; Colorado; California; Hawaii; Maine; Michigan; Montana; Nevada; New Jersey; New Mexico; Oregon; Rhode Island; Vermont; Washington” (ProCon.org, 14 Legal Marijuana States).
If a person is a patient in one of the named states seeking treatment of medical marijuana, being familiar and knowing the medical condition is very important. It is recommended to research the condition, research state laws, and research rights as a patient. A patient may find seeking such treatment is a long, complicated process twisted around the pole of politics.
After a patient has completed the research and feels comfortable with knowledge attained, he or she may want to first discuss it with a primary physician. The patients primary physician may or may not comply with the notion. It could be: the primary physician agrees but does not feel comfortable prescribing such a treatment due to the controversy in politics. It could be: the primary physician disagrees with marijuana being used for medical treatment. Then again, the primary physician may completely agree, refer the patient to a specialist for diagnosis and the patient may finally receive the needed medical treatment for the approved condition.
Once a patient receives a prescription, the next big step is finding where to purchase. Some states have compassion clubs/clinics which may require filling out a form and having the physician sign it, or a written statement from the physician stating the diagnosis for prescription. Even so, the patient should know the federal government still has every right to step in and shut these medical dispensaries down. A patient may also find one’s self seeking a dealer (sometimes a more difficult route).
The recommended “safest” way for a patient to fill the prescription is to grow it. “Safe” being it omits the middle man and the patient can be sure the product is pure. Again, if a patient is to choose this method, more research will be required for achieving knowledge according to state in how much a patient is allowed to grow. There are many things to consider; how many plants may grow at one-time, how much the plants yield and how much the patient is allowed to possess of that yield at any given time.
The patient will also need to consider which may be the most effective method of administering the treatment. Vaporization is highly recommended, though the tools to do so are slightly expensive. A person could expect to spend nearly six hundred dollars on a vaporizer however; using such a tool eliminates the harmful side effects that are said to be caused from smoking and promotes a smoother inhaling experience.
If the patient happens to be a child, most parents select a way much more discrete than others. The child may not even be aware that he or she is consuming any medication at all. This method is through baked goods; usually using the supplied marijuana to make cannabutter and using it as a substitute for regular butter or other oils called for in recipes such as – brownies, cookies and fudge.
Another way the patient may consider taking the drug is smoking. So far, smoking is said to be the most effective way to take this treatment for a more immediate result. However, with smoking come harmful side effects for respiratory illnesses such as lung inflammation, among many other ways it could affect the defense system of a person’s lungs including cancer.
There is one completely legal alternative the patient may consider to the controversial madness of receiving medical marijuana in its natural form. The US FDA- approved drug available is referred to as Marinol; a synthetic development of THC mixed with sesame oil and put inside a gel capsule. The gel capsules are prescribed through different dosages that range from 2.5mg to 10mg and are to be orally ingested.
Though Marinol is the only completely legal form of treatment; in most cases, it is the least effective way for a patient to be treated. For example: In comparison to Marinol only containing one cannabinoid THC, natural marijuana contains many other cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids, which are said to add to the medicinal value.
To highlight some of the commonly accepted conditions are those with cancer and multiple sclerosis. For cancer patients, the prescription is commonly used to reduce the side effects of chemotherapy such as nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. However, according to researchers at Harvard University (2007) “The active ingredient in marijuana cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread” (Science Daily). Also, two years prior, Paul Armentano, the Senior Policy Analyst of NORML [The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws] (2005) quoted in his article “Cannabinoids possess … anticancer activity [and may] possibly represent a new class of anti-cancer drugs that retard cancer growth, inhibit angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and the metastatic spreading of cancer cells" (Mini-Reviews in Medicinal Chemistry).
For those with multiple sclerosis (MS, a disorder of the central nervous system), marijuana is normally prescribed to aid in matters such as – bladder control, balance, muscle spasms, tremors, and vision. There have also been testimonies from patients whom normally transport around with a wheel-chair, stating when they smoke marijuana they are able to walk completely on their own. However, there are no clinical studies to the proof of the reported testimonies but there have been clinical studies that have shown certain cannabinoids may prevent the advancement of MS by slowing down the neurodegenerative process.
On the more controversial side of patients who may be in need of this treatment, are those with autism and bipolar/manic depression. Using the expression “more controversial” for the reason it is not commonly prescribed for these conditions and appears to generate additional negative feedback from the public view and physicians alike, especially concerning the use of treatment on children.
According to Susan Stevens Martin (2009) “The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends the use of scientifically validated treatments. The use of medical marijuana to treat autism has not been tested and could be dangerous for children” (ABC Good Morning Show). Yet on the other side of the story, a mother spoke out on behalf of her autistic child Joey and the claim feeding her son marijuana infused brownies recommended by his psychiatrist saved his life. Joey previously had been on 13 medications and after starting the treatment of medical marijuana, most of the medications were no longer needed, dropping in numbers to only three.
Similarly was a case of an eight year boy with bipolar/manic depression, along with many other disorders. The mother, knowing her son was already on several medications for his disorders and after receiving a letter from officials, warning if she didn’t get her son under control within 30 days he would be taken from home and put into the care of the county, found her-self desperate for a working remedy. Her desperation led her to pediatrician Dr. Mike Alkalay, who believes marijuana helps calm the brain. When she contacted the doctor and he prescribed medical marijuana for her son, she found results within the first half hour of his first treatment. The mother claimed for the first time in her son’s life he smiled and said he felt happy.
Child Protective Services stepped into the picture. They charged the mother with being unfit for administering marijuana to her son. They claimed she put him at risk. The judge dismissed the case. In conclusion, it brings the question what is the risk? Is it the fact the federal government lists it as a schedule one drug? Is it the fact the American Academy of Pediatrics only recommends scientifically validated treatments? Is it the possible side effects? Do not most medications come with possible side effects?
Even though the federal government may choose not to coincide with state laws and decide to keep marijuana listed as a schedule one drug, it still remains there are Physicians, Patients, Advocates and others involved through medical science that hardily disagree with the claim “marijuana has no medicinal value.” Those involved with medical science claim it rests on the National Institutes on Drug Abuse. Scientists and Advocates alike say if the NIDA would allow science to perform the studies needed, scientific validation of marijuana’s medicinal value would no longer be in question.

Are you interested in the art of growing good cannabis? Well I have found this amazing DVD by the acclaimed international cannabis cultivation writer Jorge Cervantes. A book is a great reference to have, however nothing beats video when it comes to learning about growing marijuana.
Here's a look at what you will learn from Jorge Cervantes's Ultimate Grow DVD.
The Cannabis Chef suggests that having a book is a great way to supplement this DVD and provide an easy and quick reference. Check out Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantes.
The "Inside Out Joint" also known as a "back roll" is a way to roll up a joint or spliff (tobacco and cannabis) using only as much of the rolling paper as needed. This is a great way to help minimize the intake of harmful chemicals and tars of the paper. Another benefit of this method is a slow, smooth burn. The flavor is also noticeably improved.
This method is sort of advanced, it takes a few tries to get it. Practice until you get it! I found this great video on YouTube that shows you how it is done! Enjoy!
Cannabis, or more correctly Cannabis sativa, is a member of the Hemp (Cannabaceae) family of plants. All parts of the cannabis plant are edible in some way, shape or form. The seed can be eaten by itself cooked or raw. Hemp-seed is used to make a delicious and nutritious oil.
The stalk is edible, however it is also used to make fiber (hemp). The flowers of both male and female plants can be eaten raw, cooked, made into cannabutter, ghee, and cannabis oil, or smoked.
Cannabis can also be broken down into three separate "sub-species", although there is much debate and controversy as to whether or not they actually are species. They are sativa, indica, and ruderalis. Other sub-species may also exist.
Legalbuds.com features over a dozen strains of bud ranging from Orange Kush, Blueberry Hybrid, Dutch Green, and more. They also have solid smokes, tinctures, vaporizers, pipes, and more.
So what about the bud? Does it work!? Well the answer is yes and no. Legal buds are not marijuana so you cannot expect to get exactly the same high from it. However, most of the buds contain Wild clip dagga, Leonurus sibiricus, Kanna, Sinicuichi, lactuca virosa and other plants and herbs which are known for there psychoactive properties.
This product is not meant for people using marijuana medically. It cannot replace marijuana for this purpose. This product is intended for the psychonaut wishing to experience the variety of highs the natural world has to offer.
Think Host provides world class hosting powered by renewable energy. So if you are thinking about starting a website (informational, affiliate marketing, or whatever!) please check out this great company by clicking the banner to the right!
When you are making Cannabutter (for pot brownies, or whatever) on the stove-top, even with added water, you risk losing some THC. If any marijuana is touching the bottom or sides of the pan it may be destroyed to to the temperature of the metal siding.
The Cannabis Chef suggests that anyone serious about making good cannabis butter or ghee invest in a double boiler. They are relatively inexpensive and will last just about forever!
It also has many uses beyond cooking with cannabis such as melting chocolate to make treats (chocolate burns easily, and tastes horrible when burned). You can find them at just about every retail store with a cooking or housewares section. You can also check out this great deal on amazon.
Matt Simon, of NH Coalition for Common Sense Drug Policy, feels that the marijuana rallies taking place in Keene, Manchester, and possibly Derry, New Hampshire are going to have a negative impact on support for the upcoming Veto-over-ride medical marijuana bill. He has an article in the Union Leader opinion section you can check out here.
I contacted Matt a couple of days before I held my 420 Celebration at MacGregor Park in Derry, New Hampshire. I told him that I was holding the event in hope that his organization would support the rally. However, after exchanging a couple emails, it was clear he did not agree that smoking marijuana in public was good for the reform movement. I understood his point of view, but felt that media attention was needed in an effort to educate the public about the harmlessness of decriminalization and the harmful effects of prohibition.
His article appeared in the Union Leader on October 9th, 2009, the same day as my rally in Derry. The rally was held at MacGregor Park where the Eagle Tribune reported that 7 people attended the rally. However four others joined shortly after they left. I do not know if anyone is still attending this rally. I have not been able to get back down there myself.
So what do you think? Do you think these rallies/protests are hurting the movement or this new medical bill coming up at the end of the month? Comment and take our quick one second poll.
Keene residents and others have gathered in the past weeks in the center of Keene, NH to support the anti-drug prohibition movement. Many people openly smoking marijuana (see other post in blog). This week people have also gathered in Manchester, NH in a similar manner.
New Hampshire has a thriving marijuana reform movement. The town of Keene seems to be the bustling hot spot for cannabis activism the past week with its daily protest being called "420 at 4:20" and "The Pot Party" among other things. The gathering takes place in the center of town everyday at 4:20PM, where initially about 30 students of Keene State University and local residents publicly smoked cannabis to protest federal and state marijuana laws. After an article in the Union Leader the number of people gathering for this daily event has exceeded 100.
A few arrests have been made, but the gatherings continue. The Cannabis Chef, a website based in New Hampshire likes that New Hampshire's marijuana movement is getting some media attention. Here is one video among many (google or youtube for more)that shows a little bit about what Keene is doing for the marijuana reform movement.
For more information about Keene and its politically active community check out: www.freekeene.com
I have come down with quite the cold! Hopefully Ill get back to work on this site soon...look forward to more great content and a growing section!
Money is tight in these tough times. We must try not to waste anything...especially if it can still get us high :) Here you will find a few tried and true tips:
Stems carry very few trichomes and correspondingly a very low percentage of THC, the main psychoactive chemical found in marijuana. They do contain some THC though, especially on stems from high quality buds. Save your stems. When you have about 1/4-1/2 oz of good stems, use them in our cannabis milk tutorial, just substitute the new quantity of stems for the former quantity of bud. You could also use our ganja hot chocolate recipe.
After making a batch of cannabis butter, take the remaining marijuana leaf material that you filtered out (using cheesecloth or a strainer) and repeat the steps you took to make the initial batch. This time, however, use all the leaf in about 1/4 the amount of butter you used the first time. This new batch can then be added to the first.
You could also use the remaining bud to brew up a batch of marijuana milk similarly to stems.
Here are some things you can look forward to in the coming months here at theCannabisChef.com

The following method does work, however there are some variables. If you are smoking high grade bud, you are less likely to feel any difference because the bud already contains a high amount of myrcene. I find that it works best with lower grade marijuana like commercial midis. I am sure the contents of your stomach prior to doing this may also have an effect on the results.
I believe in my test I was on an empty stomach. Also body weight and metabolism may be a factor. If one doesn't work, don't give up, try eating two next time. You may also experiment with the amount of time you wait before smoking.
One hour before smoking marijuana eat one fresh ripe mango.
I found that the effects are well worth the experiment and the price of a mango. In my first attempt I got so high off of commercial marijuana that my heart was racing, which rarely happens to me. Well give it a go, comment and let me know if it worked for you!
