 The growing medical marijuana industry has helped bolster Colorado’s economy,

by Noelle Leavitt
providing jobs in many sectors of society that have struggled since the recession hit
the nation.
“It really trickles down to everything,” said Conor Scanlon, who works at High
Grade Alternatives in Boulder. “For the most part, a lot of these people were
suffering. Little companies are seeing amazing business, thanks in part to the
MMJ community.”
For example, Rebecca’s Herbal Apothecary and Supply sells botanical supplies
to herbalists, and since the medical marijuana industry took flight in Colorado in
recent months, her sales have skyrocketed from certain products being bought by
the medical marijuana industry.
Glycerin sales have increased 500 percent and Boston round bottles orders
have jumped 300 percent, said Rebecca Luna, who owns and operates the
Boulder-based store.
Glycerin is used to extract THC from marijuana so that dispensaries can
sell tinctures with liquid marijuana -- an increasingly popular alternative to
smoking ganja.
“It’s been a benefit to us for sure,” Luna said. “We provide everything one needs
to make or use botanical medicines.”
Luna sells products to High Grade Alternatives -- a dispensary that had to
almost double its staff in recent months to keep up with demand.
“We started with a staff of three, and about a month in, it became pretty apparent
that we were going to have to hire additional staff,” Scanlon said.
The shop now employs five workers.
Mason Tvert, executive director for SAFER Colorado, has also taken note of
the new jobs in the marijuana industry.
“Job creation and security is extremely important. I think a lot of people who
decided to get into this business, did so because they were out of a job,” Tvert said.
“This is going to eject a huge amount of jobs into the economy.”
Boulder resident Tom Wilcox started a new business from the booming
medical cannabis industry, selling wicks that can be attached to Bic lighters,
making it possible for people to smoke medical pot without inhaling butane.
Wilcox takes hemp, dips it in beeswax, and puts a clip on the end, allowing it to easily
attach to a Bic.
“It has thousands of uses,” Wilcox said. “I used it the other day to light
the fireplace.”
Yet, his success comes mainly from selling the wicks to dispensaries in
Boulder. He started the business about eight months ago, and runs it on his
own. He’s confined to a wheelchair and collects disability benefits each month,
so the business helps maintain his livelihood in many ways.
“There’s no real profit to it, but it does allow me to get out,” Wilcox explained.
“I figure in the next three or four months I’ll start making money.”
The wicks sell for around $5 a piece at several dispensaries in Boulder.

Cell phones and batteries are a part of our daily lives and we would

your old cell phone? There are many options that many of us ignore.

According to Earth Talk, “the average North American gets a new cell and more. A typical rechargeable battery is an eco-friendly power

 STRAIN REVIEW:
YOU KNOW YOU’VE JUST PURCHASED SOME FINE MEDICAL MARIJUANA
WHEN “PURPLE GRAPE” IS SPELLED “P. GREGR” ON THE BOTTLE.
Apparently the store clerk who sold me this eighth was really
stoned and did not give a damn about technicalities. So while
I was excited thinking about toking up when I got home, this
guy was thinking about the Brady Bunch. Completely in his own
world.
Anyway...
This lack of attention to detail is the true beauty of Purple
Grape/P. Gregr. It can be wonderfully debilitating, both physi-
cally and mentally. When you are in need of a medicated night of
relaxation or inactivity, this is the go-to bud.
The Purple Grape strain is a pure indica, which is generally re-
garded as a calm, serene high compared to pure sativa strains.
IS PETER GREGR
18 kush
While a sativa may cause anxiety and increased heart rates, indi-
cas will put you to sleep and help you ignore that annoying voice
in your head. It’s more of a body high that leads to extended peri-
ods of inactivity than you’ll get with any sativa or hybrid.
Indica plants are short, plump plants, compared to sativas. They
tend to produce much more dense, thick buds with higher THC
levels. Aromas are clean and sweet, often lingering around for
hours after smoking. The taste of Purple Grape would be best
described as “sweet skunk”... tickling your taste buds until your
appetite tells you it’s ‘munchies time.’
Common medical uses of indica are relief from intense pain, in-
somnia, nausea, anxiety, and muscle spasms. Patients can expect
full satisfaction from Purple Grape. My constant back pain sud-
denly went unnoticed, and my night-time tossing and turning
became an eight-hour, uninterrupted sleep. I actually felt re-
freshed in the morning! And the anxiety that sometimes takes
over my body had vanished.

“P. Gregr” quickly became Peter Gregr. Purple Grape trans-

formed into the man that is Peter Gregr - a middle-aged family
man living in Pleasantville, USA, in the early 1980’s. The seem-
ingly forgettable mistake of renaming my pot ended up adding a
whole new element to my journey with this strain.

Peter also responded to: Pedro, Petey, P. Diddy, Pistol Pete, Mr.
Gregr, and ... Kevin. And he didn’t mind all the names. Pedro is
a pretty flexible dude.

The general vibe of a night hangin’ with Pete is chill. Random

15 minute naps and waking up at 8am on the couch with the
TV still on is pretty standard. Being lazy and taking in your sur-
roundings is what it’s all about. That whole ‘don’t-give-a-damn
feeling’ the store clerk showcased speaks volumes to the relaxing
nature involved with a Peter Gregr high.

One recommendation for this and all indicas is a mixture of get-

ting stoned and drinking some coffee. The negatives of each can-
cel each other out, and you end up in a highly relaxed, but, alert
state. A simply delightful way to enjoy a sunny day.

You can pick up Purple Grape for around $45/eighth at most

dispensaries. If your store doesn’t carry it, ask for another purple
pure indica strain, or Grape Ape, and you’ll be on your way to P.
Diddy’s house in no time.

WHO IS SHELDON BLACK?
If Sheldon Black has crossed your path, than you already
know of his design genius. If you’re one who’s in search
of “the perfect hit”, than Mr. Black has your answer.
Diffusion.
With the use of multiple chambers, and fixed and
removable stems, these intricately designed glass water
pipes provide as smooth of a hit as you could ever ask
for. With countless designs of bongs with diffusers, the
technology has come a long way. Over the years, claims
about the smoothest hit have become legend. The bongs
that Sheldon Black has designed, have taken design of
diffusers, and water pipe technology to a new height.
Bringing the latest technology and experience together
with integrity and pride in their product, is what makes
Sheldon Black’s Bongs the first choice for the smoking
aficionado. Design innovations like five arm removal
systems, six arm fixed stem systems, and simple diffusion
chambers are all part of the water pipe science that
Sheldon Black has mastered.
His new line of bongs are made from the highest quality
German glass, and through the annealing process, these
bongs have superior strength. The process of kiln firing the
bongs are done three times to insure that Sheldon Black
Bongs are made to last.
After countless attempts to track down this Diffusion
Guru, we were called by Black’s Consigliore, Richard
Melograno, a major pioneer in bong technology since the
80’s. Richard’s experience in the industry, combined with
Sheldon’s designs, have put Sheldon Black Bongs at the
top of every smoker’s wish list. After bringing a no-named
German bong company from complete obscurity, to a
household name, (you know the one...) he is doing the
same for Sheldon Black.
KUSH Magazine got the pleasure of testing out the new
product line, and the opinion was unanimous - “the perfect
hit” is out there, and it’s through a Sheldon Black Bong.
Richard described to KUSH just how much time, effort,
and innovation has gone into the latest line. He further
described how counterfeiting has plagued the industry, with
cheap knock-offs from China being sold as real products.
The German company he once worked for is the most
counterfeited smoking devise in the world, and preventing
this in the new line has been a main focus. Using the latest
technology, Black and Melograno have figured out a way to
make counterfeiting their product impossible, embedding
the SB logo in multiple spots. It shows up in the bases, and
drop stem system, also pioneered by Melograno.
With the highest quality and scrutiny of design, Sheldon
Black has produced the Ultimate Water Pipe. With countless
models, ranging in numbers of chambers and diffusers, to
size and stature - no matter which Sheldon Black Bong you
choose, you are in for the smoothest of hits.
Although Sheldon Black the designer seems to be somewhat
of a mystery, finding his new line of Diffusion Bongs is
thankfully not as difficult. To purchase this ultimate piece,
check the top shelf of your local smoke shop, and know that
for now, you’ve found “the perfect hit”.

Paving New Regulations
For Weed-Impaired Drivers
M ore drivers tested positive for marijuana than alcohol
in a recent impaired-driving study, but pro-cannabis advocates
said these statistics should not be used to target marijuana users.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or
NHTSA, conducted a survey in 2007 on weekend nights to
determine the number of drug- and alcohol-impaired drivers.
Results released last year show that weed was the most
common substance detected in the drivers. The next most
common drugs recovered during searches? Cocaine and
methamphetamine.
About 8.6 percent of those surveyed tested positive for
cannabis. And 2.2 percent had blood alcohol concentrations at
or higher than the legal limit. Data were collected by randomly
stopping drivers across the nation on weekend nights.
Marijuana advocates explain that they have safety
concerns about drug-impaired driving, but are also wary
about marijuana regulations that jail users.
“I think if you look at the public’s No.1 concern regarding
liberalizing marijuana laws it’s the fear that there is going to
be a major increase in people driving under the influence,
“ said Paul Armentano, deputy director of the National
Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or NORML.
“And we need to reassure the public that as reformers, we
are just as concerned about this issue as they are.”
There were more than 11,000 drunk driving fatalities
on the roads nationwide in 2008, a decrease since the year
before.
Drugged drivers caused about 20 percent of car
accidents nationwide according to “conservative estimates”
from the Institute For Behavior and Health, or IFBH, an
anti-drug reformation organization. Many feel that there
are risks associated with both driving under the influence
of alcohol and weed.
“Driving while impaired, from alcohol, drugs, or both,
puts us all at risk and must be prevented,” said R. Gil
Kerlikowske, the director for the Office of National Drug
Control Policy, in a December press release.
DRIVING DRUNK VS. DRUGGED
Armentano said the risk associated with weed-
impaired driving is “dose dependent” and usually subtle
when compared with drunk driving. Marijuana affects the
psychomotor skills, he said, but the effects are short lived.
32 kush
Byline: NALEA J. KO
“The other point that’s important to note is that even drivers
who appear to have the greatest elevated risk of accident due to
their marijuana use, only have an elevated risk that is similar to the
individual who had drank the legal quantities of alcohol,” Armentano
explained in a phone call to Kush.
Those who are more at a high risk of getting into accidents while
driving impaired on alcohol or weed are inexperienced drivers. Over
the years perception of weed among high school seniors has changed.
Fifty two percent of seniors in 2008 and 2009 said they thought
that smoking marijuana was harmful. That is compared to 58 percent
in 2006, according to the Center for Substance Abuse Research.
Furthermore young drivers—between the ages of 15 to 20—
represent a significant amount of those killed in car accidents. Of
those young drivers involved in fatal crashes in 2007, 31 percent
tested positive for alcohol, according to the NHTSA. This indicates
more reason to create educational programs about impaired driving,
geared toward young drivers.
“Statistically people between the ages 18-25 are far more likely to
use marijuana than other age groups. And certainly drivers in that
age demographic are for the most part less experienced drivers, “
Armentano said.
Others agree that drugged driving poses risks, but their solutions
differ.
“Illegal drug use is not a victimless crime. The laws against drug
use and sale are important public health measures that reduce the
negative consequences of drug use, including drugged driving,”
said Dr. Robert L. DuPont, president of the IFBH, in an October
release. “Legalizing marijuana poses substantial risks, including
increasing drugged driving.”
Armentano said the problem with regulating marijuana and
driving is that the prohibitionists are the only ones addressing
the issue. And they, he said, are primarily concerned with putting
people who use marijuana in jail.
“We need to be involved to help and assist in this effort to that
we have laws that actually make sense as oppose to just having laws
that paint such a broad brush that they simply punish marijuana
users per se as opposed to targeting and punishing users who act
irresponsibly,” he said.
A follow-up study to the 2007 NHTSA survey will be conducted
to determine which drugs pose a higher risk for accidents. Results
are expected in 2012.

sweet and fresh flavors; some of the
most crisp and tender tastes of the
year from our gardens…. And keep
an eye out for those bunnies!
ROASTED GARLIC
LAMB LEG WITH
ROSEMARYPOTATOES
1 Australian leg of lamb, bone-in
2 heads garlic, halved
3 tablespoons THC olive oil
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons Rosemary, chopped
3 pounds small red potatoes, halved
grilled asparagus or preferred vegetable, to serve

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cut off the tips of the heads of garlic and brush the cut sides with 1
tablespoon of the olive oil. Set garlic cut-side down on a sheet pan
and roast until it is soft to the touch, about 30 minutes. Let garlic
cool for 5 minutes, then squeeze the roasted cloves out of the garlic
and into a bowl. Mash with a fork and spread over the top of the
lamb (see tip).
Meanwhile, place the lamb in a large roasting pan and season
with salt, pepper and half of the rosemary. Allow to stand at room
temperature for 30 minutes to an hour. Place the potatoes in an oven-
proof dish and toss with the remaining oil and rosemary. Set aside.
Roast lamb for about 1 hour 40 minutes, until it registers 130-135°F
on a meat thermometer for a medium-rare roast, or until the juices

run clear when a sharp knife or skewer is inserted in the thickest part
of the meat.
When the lamb has been roasting for 40 or 50 minutes, place the
potatoes in the oven and bake until well browned and tender.
Transfer the lamb to a warm platter and let rest for 15 minutes. (It
will continue to cook as it rests.) Carve and serve with the potatoes
and asparagus.
TIP: The garlic can be roasted and mashed the day before. Store in
a tightly sealed container in the refrigerator. You could also spread
over the lamb the day before and marinate overnight for a real
garlic flavor. Just remember to cover well, and bring lamb to room
temperature before roasting.
Serves 6-8.

VANCOUVER
by JOSH KAPLAN
I remember watching the 1984 Olympics
in Los Angeles on television. I was fifteen
years old, and being too young to drive yet,
was unable to attend any events. Since then
I’ve been a big fan of the Olympics, both
Summer and Winter. When I heard that the
Winter games were going to be in Vancouver
B.C., I started saving in hopes of attending.
With only a three hour flight, and an exchange rate closest
to our U.S. Dollar, heading to Vancouver for the 2010 Winter
Games seemed to be my best shot to attend an Olympics.
Thankfully I have friends who attend them regularly, so with
an open invitation to sleep on the couch, I booked my flight
and was off to the Great White North.
Having only been to Toronto as a child, these memories of
an incredibly clean, beautiful city were my only references for
Canada. What I found in Vancouver was a beautiful, bustling
downtown, with shops, restaurants, and historic buildings.
Vancouver is a sweet blend of Europe, and the United States.
With picturesque views of the water, bridges, and cityscapes,
Vancouver reminded me a bit of San Francisco, with the
European flare of Lucerne Switzerland. Knowing that B.C.
was a 420 friendly city, gave me the extra inspiration to attend
the Games. Finding good B.C. buds was easy in Vancouver,
(it pays to know people), while finding it in Whistler was just
as easy. Thanks Brandon from the Yukon.
So with a satchel of B.C bud in my pocket, and a bit
of Cali sunshine over my shoulder, I hit the streets of
Vancouver in search of some games and some good times.
With Alex Bilodeau winning Canada’s first on-soil Gold, the
party began on the streets of Vancouver. With the fervor of
a Laker’s Championship, continued over a two week span,
Canada hit the streets hard. There were as many Maple Leafs
billowing on the downtown streets as any mountain top in
all of Canada. The town’s energy was amazing. The people of
Canada are as proud of a group as we Americans.
They worked very hard to prepare their city for the world
to visit, and it was evident in every little detail. At every turn
in the city there were people from around the world, taking
part in everything from ice skating to shopping. People were
a buzz in Robson square as people zip-lined above the busy
plaza. They would gather in the streets nightly, and watch the
games projected on the sides of buildings, causing enormous
roars to howl through the streets as the Canadian athlete’s
would take the lead, or score a goal. The camaraderie on the
streets was infectious.
The friendly atmosphere extended up the mountain in
Whistler. Leaving Vancouver over the Lion’s gate Bridge is
only the beginning of the most amazing mountain drive.
With unrivaled coastal views, it was hard not to get caught
daydreaming. Once up in Whistler, it was more amazing
views, of snow capped mountains, and blue skies. With
Whistler Village pumping with music and people all day
long, the energy on the mountain was a cultural melting
pot from around the world. With nightly concerts at the
Medal Ceremonies, people had events to attend all day long.
Between the perfect weather, and the kind of friendly rivalry
that only happens during an Olympics, it’s something special
to be in a host city during an Olympic Games - much like my
memory of the buzz of L.A. in 1984.
This winter Games had it’s tear-jerking moments. From
the death of Georgian Luger Nodar Kumaritashvili sadly
kicking off the Games, to the untimely death of Canadian
Figure Skater Joannie Rochette’s mom, passing just hours
after arriving in Vancouver to share her daughter’s Olympic
dream. Rochette’s tearful performance took Bronze, but
raised the bar in athletic heroism. Although there were many
highlights for the USA team, it was hard not to get swept
up in the Canadian team’s wave, and their Olympic quests.
The Canada team took Gold in Ice Hockey, their National
pastime, bringing the Canadian medal count to 26, 3rd in
the Games.
Although I was only able to attend one Hockey game and
a Luge event, I feel lucky to have been a part of something so
worldly. It is a treat to take part in the Olympics, and Canada
in general had a great understanding of their hosting task,
meeting the challenge with flying colors. On the train to the
airport, I overheard a local thank another traveler for visiting
Canada. It was a random gesture, but it sent me home with a
comfortable feeling.
Our northern neighbors are truly kind people, and they
revel in their athletic accolades just like Americans. For
two weeks, the world comes together to play games against
each other. It’s almost like for two weeks every two years,
there’s world peace - it’s kind of refreshing. I hope that future
Olympics are as accessible and friendly as the 2010 Winter
Games were, and I hope this wasn’t my last.

Life was much different two years ago for several
dispensary owners in Colorado. In many cases,
opening a medical marijuana dispensary saved their
well-being financially when the economy tanked,
giving them a new career path that helped them put
food on the table.
Candice Gill, manager of Alameda Wellness Center in
Denver, sold gourmet food for commission prior to working with
medical ganja, but she got laid off when the economy tumbled.
“I was in a high end commission food sales. I sold food to
millionaires and people that had a fluent income,” Gill said.
“Basically the economy went downhill and people stopped
spending their money, which was a big bummer, because I really
enjoyed the job.”
Gill, who has a culinary arts degree, applied for various jobs
with no avail. Finally a friend introduced her to the medical
marijuana field, and she got a job selling edibles at Alameda
Wellness Center last November. Gill is now the manager of the
dispensary.
“I helped get the place up and moving and running,” she said.
Gill is proud of her position, but noted that she took about a
50 percent pay cut when she shifted careers. Yet without Alameda
Wellness Center, she fears she wouldn’t have money to pay rent.
Her story isn’t far off from others who have had a hard time
finding work in turbulent times.
Marcos Martinez hit rock bottom during the economic
downturn. He was in steal construction sales, selling red-iron
beams to various companies in Colorado.
48 kush
by NOELLE LEAVITT
“The economy pretty much shut that business down,”
Martinez said, noting that at the time his party life -- drinking
and doing drugs -- pretty much took over, until he met the owners
of Special Kinds medical marijuana dispensary in Arvada.
“I was on the street partying. I was getting DUI’s and doing
drugs. Now, I’m living the responsible family life,” he said.
Martinez is now a partner at Special Kinds dispensary, which is
owned and operated by husband and wife Tina and S.K. Walker.
The Walkers also had an interesting transition into the medical
cannabis field, after S.K. Walker had a major motorcycle accident
two years ago, putting him in the hospital for two months.
At the time, he was working as a tattoo artist and built print
rollers for printing machines. His accident put everything on
hold, as he fractured his neck and became a medical marijuana
patient. Shortly after his recovery, his wife Tina Walker decided
to open Special Kinds dispensary -- a business that they operate
together with the help of Martinez.
Colorado Springs dispensary owner Matthew Wasson has a
similar story, battling the tough economy.
“I was a chef. I went to the culinary institute of America out
in New York, and the bottom started falling out of the restaurant
industry,” Wasson said, highlighting the reason he opened The
Green Earth Wellness Center in Colorado Springs in January.
“Me and a good friend of mine were kinda in the same boat, and
both of our jobs were kinda sucking so we said, ’Hey this is the
way we’re going to go.’ ”
Wasson expects to make about the same amount of money
that he did in the restaurant industry.

GROWER'S
GROVE:
YOU VS. THE EVIL, Dreaded Powdery Mildew!
by JESSE MARTIN

The importance of humidity control is that if the levels get too high or too low, pests and diseases like to poke
their crummy little heads out and bask in the moisture, often using your plants as a lawn chair. One of the more
common annoyances is powdery mildew. At first sight, it seems like a simple enough problem. Maybe you spot
a leaf or two with a spattering of white powder on it and think it’s no big deal—you can just pull the dusty leaves.
Wrong. Imagine how hard it is to clean up coffee grounds when your fumbling morning hands spill the
bag of ground coffee all over the counter. You think you have got it all, but really the crevices of your sink
and counters are infested. The same goes for powdery mildew. It spreads like wildfire and unless you treat it
properly, your entire crop can be destroyed.
Powdery mildew is a very common fungal disease that can seriously damage or destroy both indoor and
outdoor crops. It can infect during both the vegetative and flowering stages and can coat the entire plant in
fungus.
Powdery mildew typically thrives in cool, damp, shaded and poorly ventilated areas. Airborne spores
brought into the grow room land on leaf surfaces and will germinate given favorable conditions. High night
humidity levels often trigger the growth of mildew spores. Powdery mildew can attack indoor crops year
round.
Powdery mildew is almost impossible to stop in late flowering, so early detection and control is essential.
Perpetual harvest, dense scrog/sog systems, and damp basement grows are particularly vulnerable to
powdery mildew. Note: strains vary in their susceptibility.

Identification, Symptoms and damage: Preventive gardening:

Early signs of powdery mildew include white powder/fuzzy patches on
leaves (usually low in the canopy) and a fuzzy white coating on lower
stems. Note: powdery mildew can be wiped off the leaves for a quick
visual check.
These fuzzy mycelium patches produce airborne spores that rapidly
attack adjacent plants; mildew will eventually coat leaves and entire
plants, reducing photosynthesis, plant vigor and bud quality.
Plants on the edge of a garden, in corners and under stress are attacked
first; infection usually starts in the lower canopy where conditions are
optimal. As infection progresses, mildew will spread to the top of the
plants and finally attack the buds.
Infected buds may appear normal; but are internally dusted with white
powder (which cannot be removed by drying), and have a stale, musty/
moldy smell when dry. Smoking or trimming infected buds can cause
sickness and lung infections, and is not recommended. Infected leaves
should be discarded. Lower buds are the most susceptible.
Powdery mildew is difficult to 100% eradicate; control requires
prevention, early detection, and pro-active measures.
Preventative gardening techniques can be effective in defending against
powdery mildew.
Maintain healthy plants. Stressed plants are often attacked first, so it is
important to monitor and remove unhealthy plants.
Detection. Inspect corners, edge and lower portions of the garden
frequently. Remove infected leaves, or move infected plants out of the
main garden.
Don’t water plants at night. Reduce or stop watering before the lights
have gone out to help evaporate and reduce room humidity.
Reduce plant density. Spread plants apart to improve air circulation.
Don’t place plants directly against walls or into corners, typically areas
of poor air circulation. Pull plants 6”-1’ away from walls or reflective
surfaces, and blow air to these areas.
Pruning. Remove the lowest leaves as the plants mature and prune the
bottom 1/3 of the plant during veg to increase airflow inside the lower
canopy. Remove all unnecessary growth. Put an oscillating fan down low
to blow through this pruned area.

56 kush
 Foliar feeding. Foliar feeding can sometimes cause excessive nighttime
humidity levels. Discontinue if mildew appears.
Harvest early if mildew is a problem.
Environmental control:
Improving grow room conditions is an excellent way to passively prevent
and minimize damage by powdery mildew.
Monitor humidity levels. A quality humidity gauge should be used to
monitor day and night r.h levels. Avoid prolonged high humidity levels: 50-
60% r.h is ideal. Humidity must be kept below 70% during the night; levels
over 80% will almost guarantee infection within 48 hrs.
Ventilation. Constant air movement inhibits mildew, and lowers
humidity. Use oscillating fans on all sides of a garden to circulate the air.
Ventilate air out of the grow room periodically during the night cycle to
reduce humidity from irrigation and transpiration.
Note: Once mildew is established, oscillating fans may actually spread
spores throughout the garden. Stop fans, treat infected areas, and then
resume airflow.
Heat night air. Warm air holds more moisture than colder air. Heat helps
dry the air and lower humidity during the night cycle. Heat the room at
night and exhaust the room periodically to remove this warm/moist air.
Dehumidifier. Very effective in preventing mildew from spreading. Set
controls for 40-60% and let run during night cycle.
Hepa filter. Filter the intake with a Hepa filter to eliminate spores from
entering room. Inspect and change filter frequently.
Ionizer / Ozone generators. Leak some output to kill airborne pathogens
and spores.
Chemical controls:
Chemical control should be considered a last resort. Chemicals should
be sprayed only in veg or early flower to prevent absorption into the buds
and burning bud hairs. Chemicals may have to be applied repeatedly to be
effective, and may take a few days for noticeable results. Use a surfactant
to help adhere chemical to leaf surface. Some chemicals are more harmful
than others; follow label directions and observe precautions.
Always spot spray first. Spraying individual leaves can be an option.
Note: many chemicals will leave a residue that appears similar to
powdery mildew!
Baking soda: Sodium Bicarbonate
“Sodium collapses the powdery mildew cell wall”. Baking soda leaves
an alkaline residue on the leaves, which should be washed off with water
before more is applied.
Foliar spray: 15ml / gallon
Potassium Bicarbonate:
“Collapses and desiccates the mildew hyphae. Very safe, very effective
contact fungicide”. Kaligreen and Armicarb100.
Garden sulphur:
A common non-toxic spray, sulfur interferes with mildew cellular
respiration. Spray young plants weekly before hairs form (or spray lower
leaves only), then discontinue. Do not wash off. Note: dried sulphur
spray looks similar to mildew. For best results, prune plants in veg/early
flower, then spray lower stems and foliage. Warning: can give a sulphur
taste if sprayed directly onto buds!
Foliar spray:
15-20ml sulphur powder/Liter water. Keep well mixed when spraying.
Note: will not wash off buds. Re-application may be necessary.
Neem Oil:
Protects and kills mildew by inhibiting respiration; also protects
against mites and may improve plant vigor. Results are noticeable in a
couple of days.
Pro-silica: (Soluble Silicon)
“… increases resistance to pathogens by accumulating in…(leaf and
root) cells of plants, providing a barrier against penetration by invading
fungi such as powdery mildew and Pythium. Foliar applications leave
deposits of silicon…on the leaf surface that promote effective physical
barriers to…infection.” Pro-silica is alkaline.
Foliar spray: 1 part in 5
SM90: A natural plant extract in a vegetable oil base.
Foliar spray: 10ml/liter
Copper Sulphate:
“Copper ions inactivate some fungal enzyme systems, killing the
mycellium.”
Effective one-shot application, but production may be discontinued.
Benomyl: Apply in veg only.
Malatox:
by the chronic:
… “This is a wonder cure. Mildew completely vanishes for up
to 7 weeks! Make sure you spray before the first week of flowering.”
Foliar spray: 2.5ml per liter of water.
Biological controls:
AQ10:
A biofungicide. Ampelomyces quisqualis is a fungus that “parasites the
powdery mildew organism. It offers control over a long period of time.”
Effective only in initial stages of infection.
Plant Shield:
Plant Shield is a foliar spray (General Hydroponics), which kills many
types of leaf and root fungus. Trichoderma harzianum strain T-22. Safe
to use. Takes 2-10 days.
Serenade:
“The fermentation product of a bacterium, bacillus subtillis, that
inhibits cell growth of fungi and bacteria. It is effective and easy to spray
or use as a dip”.
Happy Gardening!

If you’re looking for a reasonably priced getaway this spring, consider loading
up the car, grabbing some friends and taking a road trip to Moab, Utah. With
an average temperature of 76 degrees in April, Moab is a great way to prep for
summer and shed the winter blues. Plus, if you go after April, Moab tends to get
really crowded and super hot. Like fire hot. April though, is perfect. And with so
much to do--hiking, camping, mountain biking, white water rafting, sightseeing,
applying sunscreen—a long weekend would probably do you good. Before I delve
into all that is wondrous about Moab, remember that Utah only sells 3/2 beer.
Remember Footloose?

Arches National Park Get wet!

A red rock wonderland containing some of the most scenic and
inspiring landscapes on Earth, Arches National Park contains the
world’s largest concentration of natural sandstone arches. Although
over 2,000 arches are located within the park’s 76,518 acres, the park
also contains an astounding variety of other geological formations.
Colossal sandstone fins, massive balanced rocks, soaring pinnacles and
spires dwarf visitors as they explore the park’s viewpoints and hiking
trails. Geologic faulting has exposed millions of years of geologic
history within the park.
Exploration of Arches National Park is as varied as the formations
within the park. If you’re just passing through the area you can get a
great introduction to the park in just a few hours. Those wanting to
experience some of the park’s hiking trails can easily spend a full day or
more. If you have a couple of days, you can explore the huge assortment
of varied terrain within the park. Popular activities include auto touring,
hiking, photography, and biking. Whether you have a few hours, or a
few days, Arches is worth the time and easy enough to navigate as paved
scenic drive takes visitors to all of the major viewpoints within the park.
Rafters and drifters may select river environments that range from
the wilderness settings of Cataract and Desolation-Gray canyons to the
more easily accessible sections of the Colorado and Green Rivers. While
the area is known for its whitewater float trips, there are also several
scenic calm water segments suitable for canoes and small powerboats.
Although the Colorado River often conjures images of wild, churning
rapids and heart-stopping near capsizes, the rivers of the Moab area
have a softer side as well. For miles at a time they are simply wide,
quiet streams that, on clear days, reflect a mosaic of rock cliffs and sky.
Calm water float trips in canoes, kayaks and rafts are available.
That Sounds Like a Lot of Work- Guide Me!
Outfitters take passengers down all of Southeastern Utah’s rivers.
River Outfitters offer part-day, one-day, and multi-day trips. Most
outfitters conduct trips in more than one river area and provide a wide
variety of tours. Some outfitters conduct specialty tours such as self-
paddle trips, jet boat tours, executive training sessions, women’s trips,
and kayak instruction. Many outfitters will also provide shuttle and
pick-up service.

APRIL IS THE COOLEST
MONTH TO GO TO MOAB
By JANE QUENTIN
Reservations for river trips with an outfitter should be made as far
ahead as possible, especially for multi-day trips. Trip prices vary by
factors such as length, services provided, group size, and river segment.
Outfitters generally provide boats, boating equipment, safety
equipment such as life jackets and first-aid kits, waterproof bags for
storing equipment, watertight boxes for cameras, food, nonalcoholic
beverages, ice chests, and return transportation from their office or
a prearranged meeting place to the river. Again, remember Footloose.

4-wheeling. There are literally thousands of miles of jeep trails in Grand
County. Most are unmaintained relics from mining or prospecting for
minerals such as uranium, vanadium radium copper, gold, and oil. Yet,
except for the trails themselves, there are few scars on the landscape.
Some trails are used in current mining and grazing activities, and major
access roads receive some maintenance from the county. Others are
repaired just enough to get through.
Camping is the only way to go
Moab sunrises and sunsets display colors you can barely name.
Camping is the best way to truly experience the true beauty and awe
of the desert playground. There are dozens of camping options, from
rugged wilderness to comfortable KOA with showers. The Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) maintains 25 campgrounds in the Moab area.
While individual campsites cannot be reserved, visitors can usually be
accommodated at one of the campgrounds. Many of the campgrounds
are located close to Arches National Park, along the Colorado River.
These campgrounds offer views of spectacular red rock cliffs amidst a
green ribbon of vegetation. Several of the campgrounds are particularly
suited to even the largest Recreational Vehicles and five campgrounds
feature group sites suitable for large groups that do accept reservation.
Canyonlands
Canyonlands is the largest national park in Utah, and its diversity
staggers the imagination.  It is divided into three districts by the Green
and Colorado Rivers - the Island in the Sky, the Needles and the Maze.  
Named for their most prominent geologic characteristics, these districts
are quite varied in what they have to offer.
Island in the Sky
This section of the park sits atop a massive 1500 -foot mesa-- quite
literally an Island in the Sky.  20 miles of paved roads lead to many
of the most spectacular views in Canyon Country.  From these lofty
viewpoints visitors can see nearly 100 miles in any given direction,
resulting in panoramic views that encompass thousands of square miles
of canyon country. 
The Needles
A ten mile paved scenic drive gives visitors a wonderful taste of what
The Needles was named after - beautiful sandstone spires that jut out
of the ground creating an unforgettable spectacle. For those willing to
venture off the paved roads, however, this section offers an amazing
diversity of terrain.  Arches, canyons, grabens, and beautiful sculpted
rock formations await hikers, backpackers and 4WD enthusiasts. 
The Maze
Definitely considered the wildest district in Canyonlands National
Park, the Maze ranks as one of the most remote and inaccessible
sections in the United States. There is, in the Maze itself, a perplexing
jumble of canyons that has been described as a “30 square mile puzzle
in sandstone”.  If you crave solitude and are ready for some serious
backcountry travel and hiking, the Maze may be just what you’re
looking for.
Moab promises to be the best time you will ever have in Utah.

UC STUDY SHOWS
CANNABIS AS AN
EFFECTIVE
TREATMENT FOR
MULTIPLE
SCLEROSIS
The researchers found that the extracts worked well and were
tolerated well by the participants, although some doses had to
be adjusted. Further, patients reported some relief in muscles
spasticity and mobility improvement. The researchers noted,
however, that they did not find these spasticity results from
objective assessments, rather they were only present in the
subjective observations of the participants. Due to many of
the variables in the study and the small amount of participants,
the researchers noted that further study was necessary to
truly understand the effects of the cannabis compounds.
Additionally, the researchers studied the anti-inflammatory
properties of cannabis in relation to MS. The researchers
concluded that the therapeutic benefits of cannabis extracts
may provide great relief to those suffering from MS.

 Those who have multiple sclerosis are often plagued
by spasticity, which is an involuntary muscle tension
or contraction. This unpredictable muscle movement
makes it difficult for individuals to drive, engage in daily
activities, or even hold a job. They are difficult to control
and often result in a person having to stop working, driving,
or enjoying certain activities. Due to the disabling effect
of MS, people are often forced to apply for social security
disability benefits because the recurring spasticity makes it
impossible for them to control their movements, and may
pose dangers to themselves and others. Although therapies
exist to combat this common symptoms of MS, most are
difficult to come by, ineffective, and expensive. Due to the
limitations that MS spasticity produces, a new therapy to
combat these difficulties might provide necessary relief that
is currently lacking.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the most common
chronic and disabling diseases of the nervous system. Caused
by loss of the insulating sheath surrounding nerve fibers, the
disease usually begins in young adulthood. Although it may
initially wax and wane in intensity and be of mild severity,
it often steadily progresses, causing fatigue, loss of balance,
muscle weakness, and muscle spasticity. Affecting up to
70% of people with the disease, muscle spasms lead to pain,
inability to walk, and difficulties with self-care, causing
most of the everyday life disability from this disease. There
is as yet no cure for MS. Treatments for muscle spasticity
are only partially effective and have side effects which are
not easily tolerated, making the search for new therapies
of high importance. Given this background, the Center
for Medical Cannabis Research (CMCR) at the University
of California identified MS spasticity as an additional
target for therapeutic research. As with all CMCR studies,
the research used the most rigorous scientific approach to
testing therapies, a randomized clinical trial, supplemented
by modern measurement of muscle spasticity, everyday
function, life quality, and side effects. Results to date have
found a significant improvement in both an objective
measure of spasticity and pain intensity in patients whose
standard therapy had provided inadequate relief.
CMCR is the result of a bill sponsored by former state
Senator John Vasconcellos (D-Santa Clara) – the Medical
Marijuana Research Act of 1999 (SB 847) – that commissioned
the University of California to establish a scientific research
program to study medicinal cannabis. CMRC was established
in 2000 with nearly $9 million in state funding.
Participants were assigned to an experimental treatment,
in this case cannabis, or to a placebo (an inactive treatment).
The placebo in the study studies was a marijuana cigarette,
made with cannabis from which the “active” ingredients,
for example delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol(THC), had been
removed. The cigarette therefore had the appearance and the
aroma of a marijuana cigarette, but without the psychoactive
ingredients.
Dr. Jody Corey-Bloom of UCSD conducted a study to
determine the potential for smoked cannabis to ameliorate
marked muscle spasticity (chronic painful contraction
of muscles), a severe and disabling symptom of multiple
sclerosis. Thirty patients with multiple sclerosis were
enrolled and some were given marijuana cigarettes while
others received the placebo. Patients were allowed to
continue their usual treatments for spasticity and pain
while participating in the research. Compared to placebo
cigarettes, cannabis was found to significantly reduce both
an objective measure of spasticity, and pain intensity. This
study concluded that smoked cannabis was superior to
placebo in reducing spasticity and pain in patients with
multiple sclerosis, and provided some benefit beyond
currently prescribed treatments.
Shaheen E. Lakhan and Marie Rowland of the Global
Science Initiative Foundation in Los Angeles studied six
placebo-controlled experiments to determine the effects
of marijuana on MS. In particular, the researchers wanted
to test the effect of two compounds from cannabis. The
first is THC, which is attributed with providing the “high”
associated with marijuana, while the second is CBD, which
appears to lower THC in the brain. The combination of
both of these extracts, it is opined, provides anti-spastic
relief in muscles, while preventing the “brain fog” often
characteristic in marijuana use.
The researchers found that the extracts worked well
and were tolerated well by the participants, although some
doses had to be adjusted. Further, patients reported some
relief in muscles spasticity and mobility improvement. The
researchers noted, however, that they did not find these
spasticity results from objective assessments, rather they
were only present in the subjective observations of the
participants. Due to many of the variables in the study and
the small amount of participants, the researchers noted that
further study was necessary to truly understand the effects
of the cannabis compounds. Additionally, the researchers
studied the anti-inflammatory properties of cannabis
in relation to MS. The researchers concluded that the
therapeutic benefits of cannabis extracts may provide great
relief to those suffering from MS.

Hit Snooze! Denver’s best breakfast gets better every time you go.
alling all early birds! Breakfast is the most
important meal of the day according to your
mother and the wives who have spun centuries
worth of tales, so if you are an eggs Benedict
addict as I am, there is no better place to get
your fix than Snooze. A section of their menu is
actually called The Art of Hollandaise! And don’t think that the chef
at Snooze just tosses some ham on an English muffin and calls it a
dish—oh no, the art of hollandaise comes in many forms at Snooze.
Their most classic is the Ham Benedict III, an English Muffin
topped with shaved brown sugar ham, soft poached eggs and smoked
cheddar hollandaise. For those in need of a more savory version try
the Slow Roast Benny, with Niman Ranch roasted pork combined
with a hearty vegetable stew, topped with poached eggs, smoked
cheddar hollandaise, and a homemade biscuit. For a slight south
of the border twist try the Barbeque Benny Sope Style Slow roasted
shredded Niman Ranch Beef over black beans and homemade masa
cakes. This yummy version is made complete with poached eggs,
smoked cheddar hollandaise, cojita cheese & salsa fresca.
For a meatless version try the Ratatouille Benedict with a winter
vegetable stew, topped with poached eggs, cream cheese hollandaise,
layered on an English muffin.

 It was during that time that I learned how much I was
capable of, which proved useful in 2001. That was the year I
became active with the Personal Responsibility Amendment
(PRA), a statewide ballot initiative in Michigan to legalize
medical marijuana, adult use, and industrial hemp; ambitious
to say the least! I collected signatures, learned the history
of cannabis hemp, and became familiar with the drug policy
reform work that was happening across the country. I was
inspired and felt I finally found a purpose in life. It seemed to
make my surprise leadership in the honor society make sense
– training for what would come next.
At the time of working on the PRA initiative, I was waiting
to start Wayne State University (WSU) where I had a full-ride
scholarship to finish my degree and again graduated with
honors. While at WSU, I joined the debate team where I learned
the meaning of such words as “hegemony,” “existentialism,”
and “zero-sum gain.” Common words for some, but had me
saying, “hege-who?”
It was all new to me. My parents weren’t politically active
or college educated; they barely followed the local news. I grew
up in the 80s in the “Just Say No” campaign of the Reagan
Administration. I had no concept that our drug laws weren’t
always the law. I took it for granted that was just the way things
were; it never even dawned on me to question the governing
policies of our nation.
As a teenager, I knew more drug dealers than any other
profession. Many of my friends were in and out of jail. When
I learned how useful cannabis hemp was, and moreover, how
accepted it was pre-1937, I realized my friends didn’t have
to lose hope of a promising future from the convictions on
their criminal records. I was activated, energized and spent
countless hours working to change the law. I was coming into
the understanding of the pervasive impact our local, state and
federal laws have on our everyday lives – and that laws are
malleable, changeable – that they reflect both the wisdom and
the ignorance of our forefathers and those who have led this
nation since.
My debate training was invaluable. Not only did I learn
the jargon that kept me from understanding meaningful
discussions (or the lack thereof) on governing policy, I
learned how to critically consider all sides of an issue to get
closer to the best policy option; one that can bring us out of
this mess, and most important, how to get there. It’s easy to
see the hypocrisy of our history when one reviews the facts;
it’s less easy to navigate the pathways to change, to something
sensible, to something that works.
I’m certainly not an advocate for children growing up like
I did. The reality is that many children grow up similar, or
worse. This is something we need to face as a society if we
are to ever offer our children a better future. And we have
to be honest. It was really less about drugs and more about
unhealthy relationships and a lack of coping skills in my family.
The hard truth is that our current policy has failed and left
our children more vulnerable and at greater risk. After 40
years since the passage of the Controlled Substances Act and 73
years since the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, we have failed our
children. Today, we are more invested in building prisons than
schools; murderers and rapists go free to make space for non-
violent drug offenders; state budgets are being cut – services
that provide for the health, education and care of our children
are disappearing; and the list goes on…We call this saving our
children?!
We cannot afford to continue with the antiquated reefer
madness of the past. Genuine and honest discourse is needed
in our policy debates and scientific research. We owe our
children solutions and hope for the future.
Thankfully, an ever growing number of people are dedicated
to change, to sensible policies, to righting the failures of the
past. I am grateful to count myself as one among them.
Over the years I’ve had the pleasure to work with many
groups starting with local NORML chapters and the Drug
Policy Forum of Michigan, later with Drug Policy Alliance
(DPA), Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), the
November Coalition, Americans for Safe Access (ASA), and
now Oaksterdam University. From when I started, we’ve
come a long way as a reform movement and we’re picking up
momentum. We are at a critical juncture and if everyone who
is inspired by the benefits of ending cannabis prohibition gets
active, engaged and takes action, we will change the laws.
Regardless of your background, beliefs, or skill level –change
is possible and you can help make it happen. In fact, the only
way change is going to happen is if We, the People, make it so.

 As the days turn warmer and the nights
grow longer, the Colorado Rockies and their
National League West counterparts gear up in
Arizona for the 2010 baseball season. With
opening day just weeks away, it’s time to take
a look at the division. In recent years, the NL
West has been decent, but not threatening.
With stellar season performances from the
Rockies and Dodgers in 2009, the NL West is
shaping up to be contenders.
The hometown Rockies made very few offseason changes,
because if it ain’t broke… With Troy Tulowitszki, Brad Hawpe
and Todd Helton as the nucleus of defense and power, the
Rockies, under now permanent manager Jim Tracy are poised
for another great run. Having looked dismal at the beginning of
2009, the firing of manager Clint Hurdle seemed to be the change
that made all the difference. The Rockies came alive and the
chemistry settled in quickly. The Rockies have made the playoffs
2 of the past 3 seasons but are still looking for the division title.
The San Francisco Giants are not to be ignored. With their
knockout pitching duo of two-time Cy Young winner, Tim
Lincecum and Matt Cain, the Giants rotation may be the most
lethal in all of baseball. With the addition of Mark de Rosa in left
field and utility man Aubrey Huff, the Giants look to add some
offense to a team that struggled to produce runs in 2009. Teams
should shudder to learn that Pablo “Kung Fu Panda” Sandoval,
who hit .330 with 25 home runs for the Giants in 2009, has started
to wear prescription goggles this spring to improve his vision.
It has been rumored that Sandoval also hit the gym for the first
time in his career this offseason to improve his cuddly shape. If
the offseason moves were enough to improve the Giants offense,
they could easily make a run for the pennant.
The Arizona Diamondbacks, who trailed the NL West
behind shaky defense and an inconsistent starting rotation look
to improve this spring with veteran infielders and beefed up
pitching. The D-backs added starting pitcher Edwin Jackson, first
baseman Adam LaRoche and second baseman Kelly Johnson,
and hope to get Webb, the 2006 NL Cy Young winner, and left
fielder Conor Jackson back for full seasons. Plus, youngsters
Justin Upton and Mark Reynolds return from dynamic, breakout
seasons. After last season, there’s really nowhere to go but up for
the D-backs.
San Diego will look a lot different in 2010 without Jake Peavy.
After having been the starter for 5 years, Peavy moves on to the
Chicago White Sox, where it has been reported that he is lobbying
to get former teammate Adrianne Gonzales to join him.
Last season was bad déjà vu as the Dodgers danced their way
into the NLCS and went home early as the Philadelphia Phillies
once again trounced the boys in blue in 5 games. Looking to get
past the NLCS curse, the Dodgers made a few moves in the off-
season, but nothing shocking. The Dodgers let pitcher Randy
Wolf and second baseman Orlando Hudson become free agents.
They also traded fourth outfielder Juan Pierre to the Chicago
White Sox, saving them $3 million, which is fantastic for the
White Sox but might come as the bonehead move of the season if
Manny keeps on being post-steroid-scandal Manny. The Dodgers
also signed Vicente Padilla, Jamey Carroll, Ronnie Belliard, Reed
Johnson and Brad Ausmus. The boys in blue should be back in
full force this season.
The boys of summer are back and the future looks bright.

The thriving cannabis industry in Colorado has forced
legislatures, marijuana proponents and medical pot users to
thoroughly examine the positives and negatives that the drug
offers both medicinally and recreationally.
Many believe pot should be fully legalized and treated like
alcohol, while others want it to be merely a medicine to help
alleviate symptoms from various ailments.  he thinks it’s a step in the right direction, as long as the medicinal
“We’re not for the full legalization, but we’re fully for the
use of medical marijuana,” explained J.J. Walker, owner of The
Health Center, a medical marijuana dispensary based in Denver.
“Testing different strains for different ailments is our focus. My
partner has actually kicked people out who were looking just to
get high.”
  Although Walker feels that the focus of debate should
surround what ganja can do for those who need it medically --
such as cancer and multiple sclerosis patients -- he thinks that
regulating pot medically is also a step in the right direction for
those who seek to use marijuana recreationally.
Proponents of full legalization hope that the proposed
cannabis laws will eventually allow for pot use across the board.
“I think it’s absolutely critical that we protect medical
marijuana users, but I don’t want to go down the path of all
marijuana being medical forever,” said Mason Tvert, executive
director of SAFER Colorado -- a non-profit organization
that promotes all uses of marijuana. “That’s the other side of
this equation. I think it’s beneficial to demonstrate that this is

people are happy to pay a little bit more if it’s legal for them.”
Yet he pointed out that it’s wonderful how lawmakers have
embraced regulatory standards for medicinal uses of weed, and
standards aren’t too strict in the long run.
“I don’t think we need to treat it solely as a medicine,” Tvert
explained. “I don’t want to see us in a system by way of making
it a medical only thing. In the long run, by putting marijuana in
the medical only category we are essentially building a parking
lot where every parking space is handicap. I don’t want people to
solely consider it a medicine. For many people, marijuana is like
aspirin. It’s not like you have to have a serious, serious, cancer in
order to benefit from it.”
Denver-based attorney Rob Corry, who represents many
proponents of both the medical and recreational cannabis, has
his own take on the issue.
“I don’t think the patients will ever be safe until it’s legal for
everyone, because patients will always get caught up in this law
enforcement theory that what they are doing is excessive for
medical purposes or non medical purposes,” Corry said. “I’m not
sure you can attribute the legalization of the medical marijuana
industry to eventual full legalization, but perhaps there’s a silver
lining in it.”

Marijuana regulation continued to grow at
the state capitol in February, when Colorado
lawmakers proposed a new 45-page house bill that
further restricts sectors of the ganja community.
If passed by the state’s General Assembly this legislative session,
the bill would set forth strict rules for dispensary owners, physicians,
and medical cannabis patients.
It’s called House Bill 1284, and those who care about ganja
should watch this bill closely – but keep in mind that the bill likely
will be amended several times before it is voted upon and potentially
signed into law by the governor.
The bill as written, would create a medical marijuana licensing
authority under the state health department to regulate all licensing
pertaining to the state’s medical marijuana industry.
The new licensing authority would control the cultivation,
distribution, and sale of medical marijuana in Colorado, according
to the bill.

That means that the state would regulate the quantity of medical
marijuana sold and the inspection process for all dispensaries,
would make recommendations to the Federal Drug Enforcement
Administration on how to classify the drug, would impose
background checks on all who work in the medical marijuana
industry -- including shop employees, and would ensure that no
unlawful financial arrangements take place between medical pot
shops and strangers on the street.
The bill also would impose hours of operation, wouldn’t allow
consumption of medical marijuana on the premises, and would sets
limits on the number of plants and ounces of cannabis a shop can
have in its inventory.
A large chunk of the bill frames out how medical pot centers are
able to obtain licenses from the state health department.
Under HB 1284, the following guidelines would be
established on how medical marijuana dispensaries
can obtain a license:
•Licenses granted to medical marijuana dispensaries will be
valid for two years.
•Licensing fees will go toward paying for the medical marijuana
licensing authority, in order to regulate the industry.
 •Fee for licenses will be determined by the licensing authority.
•Dispensaries must post public notices about intent to
open shop, notifying surrounding constituents -- residential,
commercial, and educational establishments -- of new business
ventures.
•A public hearing may be held, giving neighboring businesses
and other constituents an opportunity to speak in favor or against
the proposed new pot shop.
•Applications will not be approved until applicants submit an
architect’s drawing and plot of fixtures in the store.
“I think when it gets into labeling requirements and quality
control, I’m OK with that sort of thing. However, I think the
industry is much more equipped to handle their own businesses.
The industry can police itself much better than the government,”
said Corry, who has long been an advocate for full legalization of
marijuana.
Recreational pot is highly restricted in the proposed bill, which
states that it aims to “prevent persons who do not suffer from
legitimate debilitating medical conditions” from using, acquiring,
possessing, producing, or transporting marijuana “in violation of
state and federal laws.”

The bill has bi-partisan sponsorship by four house representatives,
including Rep.Tom Massey, R-Poncha Springs; Rep. Ken Summers,
R- Lakewood; Rep. Beth McCann, D-Denver; and Rep. Joe Rice,
D-Littleton. Senate sponsors include Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver;
and Sen. Nancy Spence, R-Centennial.
It’s important for those who review the bill to keep in mind
that the legislators are trying to stay true to what Colorado voters
approved in 2000.
But the bill also drafts legal support for those who are legitimately
prescribed cannabis, stating that they are not subject to criminal
prosecution. Those who violate the proposed law are eligible to fines
and other legal ramifications.
Let’s not forget, however, the way primary care physicians are
supposed to comply with the law under the proposed legislation.
Physicians would be required to have a background check and have
a medical doctor degree in order to prescribe marijuana.

“The whole point of this bill is to implement Amendment 20, The bill states that:
and that’s what I think the voters voted for,” Rice said in an interview

market their products. •Doctors must already be registered with the federal

Lawyer Rob Corry. “Hopefully we can stop the unconstitutional
aspects of the bill, and those that we can’t, we’ll have to go to court
and fight it.”

Corry wrote a nine-page response, depicting parts of HB 1284

that he doesn’t agree with which was published in Westword -- a
weekly Colorado alternative newspaper. He admits, however, that
there are parts of the bill that are reasonable.
