The new arrests are just another blemish on South Dakota’s cannabis record, which has been full of negative marks since 2020, when voters passed a pair of measures to dramatically reform the state’s marijuana laws.

The South Dakota Supreme Court decision upheld a lower court’s ruling from earlier in the year. The earlier case predicated on the state’s governor and law enforcement officials challenged the legality of the amendment. “South Dakota is a place where the rule of law and our Constitution mat ter, and that’s what today’s decision is about,” Gov. Noem said in a statement following the South Dakota Supreme Court ruling. “We do things right—and how we do things matters just as much as what we are doing. We are still gov erned by the rule of law. This decision does not affect my Administration’s implementation of the medical canna bis program voters approved in 2020. That program was launched earlier this month, and the first cards have already gone out to eligible South Dakotans.”

From arrests at South Dakota’s legal medical dispensary to Uber going green, here’s what about what’s happening in

South Dakota sucks (for medical cannabis patients) If you’re looking for medical marijuana in South Dakota, your choices are very, very limited. This state only has one medical cannabis dispensary, and while that should be enough to deter you from your (pointless) mission, now customers are inexplicably getting busted for pot at saidThedispensary.ArgusLeader reported in January that “officials with the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe said that more than 100 people who’ve been issued tribal medical marijuana identification cards have been arrested since the tribe opened South Dakota’s first-ever cannabis store last year.”The tribe opened the medical dispen sary on July 1, 2021, right when the new South Dakota law officially took effect. There were no other dispensaries that opened on that official start date, how ever, which created a gray area between the state and tribe.

According to local news outlets, the ruling means that South Dakota taxpay ers will be stuck paying for the $142,000 in legal costs associated with the rec reational pot challenge. The governor,

you should know

During the 2020 election cycle, voters in South Dakota approved both a constitutional amendment to legalize recreational pot and a measure that allowed for medicinal cannabis. Howev er, the medical law is the only surviving amdendment from that election cycle, as the South Dakota Supreme Court ruled late last year that the recreational amendment was unconstitutional be cause it violated the state’s “one subject” requirement for constitutional amend ments.Chief Justice Steven Jensen ruled that Amendment A featured “provisions em bracing at least three separate subjects, each with distinct objects or purposes,” noting that the state constitution “not only includes a single subject require ment but also directs proponents of a constitutional amendment to prepare an amendment so that the different sub jects can be voted on separately.”

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and her administration have said in the past that the state would not recognize med ical cannabis cards issued to individuals who are not members of the tribe — and considering the new arrests that have been occurring, this remains true. According to the Argus Leader, “the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe has issued about 8,000 medical marijuana cards to tribal and non-tribal members,” and “al though several county- and city-level law enforcement agencies and state’s attor neys have eased up on arrests and prose cutions for possession of small amounts of marijuana all together, others, like the Flandreau Police Department are not honoring some tribal-issued medical cards.”“They’re taking the cards and handing out fines,” Tony Reider, chairman of the Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe, said. “But most we don’t know about, because most people are just paying the fines.”

The survey collected various information for hemp grown “in the open” and hemp grown “under protection,” including the total planted and harvested area, yield, pro duction, and value. According to the survey report, hemp grown for flower is much more valu able than hemp grown for industrial purposes. Production levels are down for hemp, though, compared to 2018 — which is almost certainly due, at least in part, to the fact that more states are legalizing cannabis, which would lower the demand for smokable hemp flower.

Back in 2019 B.C. (before COVID), some of the DGO Mag staff hit the road for a short trip to Denver, where we had loaded our weekend with all things canna bis-related. We’d been looking for a hot minute to find a business that offered cannabis-related activities that were interesting enough to write on, and had stumbled upon the Kush & Canvases website one quiet Tuesday afternoon. And that, friends, is how we ended up on the front steps of Sarah Woodson’s Denver home. Kush & Canvases is a small busi ness started by Woodson, where clients can take classes in which they may paint and ingest marijuana or take sushi and joint rolling classes (it’s a bring-your-own-weed policy). We were there for the sushi. We could tell right off the bat this night was gonna get interesting. We had smoked just before we’d arrived (don’t worry, we took a Lyft) and couldn’t stop laughing long enough to show everyone that we were indeed very serious journalists. We had also never rolled sushi before, and the idea of learning in front of another group of people was daunting.Luckily, it was just us and a couple who were visiting from Colorado Springs while another group sat in the back painting and laughing so much we were a little jealous we couldn’t join them. Nice, intimate, and not intimidating whatsoever. Woodson’s story of how she came to be the entrepreneur of her own cannabis cooking and art classes is unique. Not long ago, Woodson was a paralegal who had built up her legal career for a decade before it lost its allure, according to a profile Ebony published on her. “What I could think of, what I could do to get out of the legal career?” Woodson told Ebony. “If I smoked weed, what is something I would love to do? Weed and paint!”

Ebony reported that Woodson is probably one of very few African Americans working in Colorado’s so cial cannabis consumption industry. She told Ebony she hopes to rally more Black people and people of color to work in the cannabis field. That, friends, is how this sce nario came to be. We were making three rolls that evening – tuna, mushroom, and imitation crab –with chef Harold Sims, who we later learned has the superpower of infinite levels of patience. After what I thought was care fully cutting the tuna meat and rolls as Sims had demonstrated, it was apparent that my inability to follow directions had followed me into this sushi class. Our entire table spent the evening cry-laugh ing at my sorry attempts to make sushi, which was not fit for even a dog to eat. At one point, the way I cut my sushi roll caused it to completely fall apart, and the chef took my knife away and sliced it himself so I had at least one decent roll to show off to the world on my Instagram feed. My attempt to follow his instruc tions on how to roll a joint did not go well either. Eventually, I gave up and handed over my roll to Sims so that he could fix it into being something smokable. If you’re looking for a night of a helluva lot of fun, weed con sumption, and laughter, and you’re intimidated by the idea of being around a big group of people you don’t know, Kush & Canvases might be the class for you. There’s nothing intimidating about step ping into Woodson’s home. The instantaneous warm welcome will easily fool you into forgetting you’re not rolling sushi and joints in your own home. At Kush & Can vases, you’re among friends, even with strangers. — Amanda Push

You’ll learn about the industry from a holistic standpoint, from opening a dispensary to growing your own plants. Once you pass, you will be officially cer tified in various parts of the industry. Zorn started CTU ten years ago after he suffered a traumatic brain injury. He began using medical marijuana to help him cope and decided he wanted to be part of the education aspect of the can nabis industry. CTU has enrolled 30,000 students, Zorn told Westword. “We have a lot of people interested, whether it’s students wanting to be in the industry, people interested for their own personal reasons, or health-care professionals looking for further knowl edge,” Zorn said. “Our job is to just put everything together for students and have colleges offer it for them.”

— Amanda Push If you’re a longtime user of the mar juana, it can feel like way too much of a challenge to overcome the tolerance you’ve built up. As you probably know, the more often you use marijuana, the higher resistance you can build up against it, so the more you have to ingest.Recently, I had to deal with this very problem when I had a few friends visit over the weekend. No matter what we smoked or ingested, we were having a difficult time hitting that sweet spot — you know, when you’re euphoric enough to still grasp what’s going on around you but sleepy enough to be cozy? However, since we’re all near-daily users of the greenery, we’ve built up a pretty hefty tolerance, sadly. When we weren’t trying to get stoned on my couch, we did the normal Colora do activities of hiking, sightseeing, shop ping, and perusing dispensaries. Toward the end of the day, we swung by one of my favorite dispensaries as I knew if anyone could solve our problem, the friendly budtenders here could. While at the dispensary, one such budtender suggested we try a bag of Rebel Edibles Chocolate Caramel Chews. These mor sels come with 10 milligrams of THC per piece and lean toward providing sativa-like effects. I won’t lie to you, this is not an edible I probably would have picked on my own. I’m not particularly a fan of chewy can dies but I was willing to set my prejudice aside and give it a try. And boy was I glad I did. The caramel and chocolate flavors swirled perfectly together in mushy chewy goodness that went down smooth. Basically, they’re effing deli cious. They’re so sweet it cancels out the weed taste which I was completely fine with as I personally don’t like the weedy taste some edibles have. You’re welcome to me. Turns out, these edibles are also SUPER potent, as in one minute you might find yourself laughing hysterical ly at something someone said and the next you’re standing over the fridge shoveling chocolate into your mouth. Not that I would know from personal experience…Now,hear me out. Typically, when it comes to taking edibles, we’re all pretty much deadbeats drooling on the couch watching TV, right? Well, for whatever reason, that evening, we decided it was a good idea to clean my entire home top to bottom. Even as I write this sober, I still can’t quite believe this. Dishes, vacuuming, a floor scrub, and a kitchen cabinetUnfortunately,overhaul. because our brains felt like they had been put through a blend er, this process also took much too long as we got sidetracked multiple times from accomplishing the tasks we set out to do. Alas, Eventually,weed.however, we ran out of steam and resorted to watching “Alien” in my living room. Despite having seen it approximately a million times, because of this heightened energy and aware ness these Rebel Edibles gave me on top of a spike in adrenaline, it was like watching it for the first time all over again: terrified, anxious, and in awe. In any case, if you’re looking for something sweet, delicious, and chewy that’ll get you so high you’ll start to think it’s weird that you have toes, I have a feeling you’ll enjoy Rebel Edibles Chocolate Caramel Chews. Just maybe abstain from cleaning your home. — Sir Blaze Ridcully

Come one, come all with your silly, embarrassing, or just plain weird questions about weed, weed-related issues, and whatever else you can dream up. We’ll do our best to answer them in the best way possible. And here we go. editor@dgomag.com Let’s jump directly into it: We want to help you land in the deep end of canna bis pool by making the most powerful medicinal preparation ever—Rick Simp son Oil, or RSO. You may have heard a thing or two about RSO, and for good reason. This mega-potent oil is effective at treating or helping to treat a remarkable range of conditions—from chronic pain, sleepless ness, arthritis, Crohn’s disease, glauco ma, asthma, and migraines, to things like HIV/AIDS, leukemia, mutated cells, and even cancer. In other words, RSO is a freaking beast of a cannabis concentrate, and if you’re suffering from chronic pain or other health issues, it may be able to fix what ails ya. That’s because it clocks in at a cool 90% THC or higher, so it’s important to know that this stuff serious business.Thatsaid, RSO can be used “recre ationally,” and it can be dabbed, but a word or two to the wise if you want to use it for that reason: — It is not for taking before brunch on the town or a Broncos game.

Hell yeah. We have you covered. Here’s how you can do just that from the comfort of your own home.

DGO’s Blaze and Puf answer your weed questions you are too embarrassed to ask anyone else.

Want to make some mega-potent Rick Simpson Oil out of your bud?

Thewinter.starting dose for ingesting RSO is one-half a grain of rice. Go to the cabi net, open up your container of rice, and take out one grain of rice. A piece of RSO that’s the full grain of rice is way too much. Just think about that for a minute. You want half of that grain, max. That said, don’t let it completely intimidate you. If you need a powerful medicine to combat the conditions listed above — or the others that cannabis

Ready to get started on this weed cooking journey? Great. Here are the ingredients you need to make RSO: You’ll need 1 ounce of dried flow er, which will make approximately an eighth of oil. You will also need a food-grade plastic bucket or large glass bowl, two mason jars, a wooden spoon-type utensil, a strainer, a funnel, a few coffee filters, and approximately one liter of grain alcohol to be used as a solvent. There are numerous solvents that can be used, but Everclear is widely avail able, inexpensive, and relatively safe — though admittedly not without a risk of flammability. You’ll also need at least one fan, a cooking pot, a rice cooker, a little bit of water, and a small glass Pyrex bowl. Once you’ve gathered all of your in gredients, here’s what you’ll do to make RSO:Start by roughly ripping up your dried bud and then place it into the bucket or 10 | March 2022

There is a short window of about 10 minutes toward the end of the process when the oil has left a liquid state and will turn into a thick, gooey mess. When this happens, add a few drops of water, start stirring constantly, and don’t be afraid to slow things down by lowering or removing the oil from the heat. To complete the process, you’ll pour the nearly complete oil into the small glass bowl and place it in an open oven at 180 to 200 degrees. This lets the last bit of water to evaporate from the surface and will allow the oil to finish the decarboxylation process. Voila! You now possess your own super potent cannabis oil. Store it in the same glass bowl or transfer to a silicon container. Use it wisely, my friends. Note: Don’t throw out the thinner, leftover oil in the pot once you’ve removed the viscous RSO. The remnant oil from the pot and the rice cooker can be warmed into olive or coconut oil for later use — so hold onto it. — DGO Staff

If large chunks remain, rip them up bySubmergehand. and soak the plant material in the solvent for about 15 minutes, agitating it occasionally. Heads up, though, that not much agitation is necessary. The solvent does most of the work.After the 15 minutes are up, you’ll pour the liquid through the strainer and funnel it into the first mason jar. From there, you’ll pour it through a funnel and a coffee filter into another mason jar. Pour the liquid from this mason jar into the cooking pot and then cook the liquid down by about three-quarters over low heat. While cooking, allow the liquid to create bubbles but don’t rush it. This process should take at least a couple of hours. You’ll need to have plenty of ventila tion and at least one fan blowing over and around the process at all times — especially before the solution begins to take on a more viscous consistency. Think of it as “soup to stew.” Once you’ve cooked down the liquid by approximately three-quarters, you’ll want to pour the liquid from the pan into the rice cooker. The rice cooker is a much safer option and will not burn your oil. It also allows you to immedi ately remove the oil from the heat if it starts to bubble too much — or heat up too quickly. The chemistry at play will continue to thicken the oil toward its final state. As before, you’ll want to make sure that the fan continues to provide ven tilation. Side note: You can run the rice cooker outside if the weather is clear to have maximum ventilation.

Between the cold weather and the pandemic, this has been a great time to watch cooking shows to our heart’s con tent. After all, cooking and binge-watch ing television are easily two of the best stay-at-home activities — especially if you can pry yourself away from the lat ter to do the former ... before returning to the latter, food in hand. Our love of both food and cannabis led us to wonder how everyone was integrating weed into the genre, so we watched a decent chunk of every can nabis-based cooking show we could find.

Here’s how they stacked up for us: Bong Appétit (Seasons 1-2) When it premiered in December 2016 on Viceland, Bong Appétit had an interesting concept. Basically, each epi sode would feature a chef who was no table for accomplishments outside the cannabis industry. The chef was teamed up with a handful of edible experts to prepare an elaborate, cannabis-infused, Check out these dope streaming cannabis cooking shows

March 2022 | 13 multi-course meal for a themed party where everyone gets high. While it’s certainly not the most entertaining show on this list, it had something going for it that the others lack to a major extent. Each episode fea tured a chef learning how to cook with cannabis for the first time, which made it easy to learn along with them. And, the show isn’t a competition, so it didn’t have to cut away to different cooks. It could more or less just follow the cook ing, somewhat methodically, until it was done. Anyone can bake with cannabut ter, but it’s interesting to see new uses for these ingredients, such as using the cannabutter to baste beef cheeks. In addition to Viceland, Bong Appétit can be found on Hulu. Cooked with Cannabis This show is also probably the most entertaining Netflix option on the list. In it, three chefs with prior edible-cook ing experience compete to make three weed-infused courses for a panel of celebrity judges. When it comes to cannabis cuisine categories, competitive cooking shows make up the majority, but this show had several qualities that made it just a bit better than its compe tition.For one, all three contestants cook every course — nobody gets voted out of the kitchen. As a result, you get to see everything they planned come to fruition ... in theory. (While most competitive cooking shows have a countdown where every one is rushing to finish their food, we always assumed the tension was created through editing. Not here — at least once, a contestant runs out of time before she can add the cannabis-infused sauce to her meal.) Anyway, we liked the contestants a lot and, to be honest, it had the cool est-looking kitchen set.

Bong Appétit: Cook Off (Season 3) In its most recent season, Bong Ap pétit pivoted into a competitive cooking show. It has slightly better guests than Cooked with Cannabis (Cheech and Chong and Wiz Kalifa, anyone?) and elements that ought to increase the tension of the competition, such as elim inating a competitor from the running before the final challenge. But at the same time, it still felt too mellow — failing to distance itself enough from its laid-back first two seasons — to become a really engaging competition. Instead, it still seemed a bit obsessed with conveying the message that cannabis is a thing that you can cook with — but without showing you at all how to do it. Munchies Funny or Die’s cannabis cooking show, also found on Amazon Prime, flips its approach. Comedians get high, and then they try to cook something, such as funnel cakes. Humorous antics ensue.

Are you going to learn anything from it? No. Will it have you on the edge of your seat? No. But it’s funny, and it’s the shortest show on this list, which is nice if you’re looking for something to watch while you eat a single burrito.

Cooking on HighNetflix’s first com petitive cannabis cooking show came out in 2016 and features two compet itors going head-to-head in a single round to create a themed edible dish featuring a specific strain of marijuana. Clocking in at 15 minutes per episode, it could have had Unfortunately,potential.itspends the vast ma jority of what little time it has with the focus on the Z-list celebrity judges. The chefs might as well not even be there, and you’re barely going to get a look at the food or how they prepare it.

Not in competition We heard the Amsterdam-based High Cuisine is an interesting show, but it airs on the Netherlands’ Videoland stream ing service, and those Dutch fascists wouldn’t let us watch it outside of that country.

The Cannabition Cannabis Museum If you’ve been to Meow Wolf’s House of Eternal Return or one of the Museums of Ice Cream on either coast, then you know that these “immersive art attractions” are ridicu lously fun. If, say, you just woke up from a coma you entered before 2016, these non-traditional exhibition spaces feature interactive installations that you experience instead of just looking at Wouldthem. it blow your mind if we told you that one of these so-called muse ums is devoted to cannabis? (There are actually two! The Weedmaps Museum of Weed opened in August 2019 in Los Angeles, but we’re going to focus on the one that’s ever-so-slightly closer to home.)

ThetionCannabiCannabis Museum in Las Vegas takes the basic concept of those other places and uses them to talk about the culture, cele bration, and history of cannabis, said founder JJ Walker — who previously ran a dispensary and produced canna bis events in Colorado. “The whole idea is to have this ele vated experience around cannabis seen through a new kind of lens,” he said.

The larger-than-life installations can be touched and interacted with, and have been designed with Insta gram-ability in mind. (Is it a bit dorky? Yes. But we both know that you’re going to post a photo of yourself holding up an 8-foot-tall bag of nugs to your feed before you even exit the building.) When it first opened, the muse um was designed in such a way that visitors would experience the life cycle of a cannabis plant, from seed to harvest to inhalation and exhala tion. It also featured exhibits on the chemistry and social history of weed. In addition to a bunch of visual ref

The rate at which thieves make off with the sign has slowed, but there’s still a pretty good chance it will be missing when you drive past it. When the sign is there, it’s a popular spot to stop, take a few selfies (but definitely not take the sign – we know you’d never do that), and either rejoice or despair that you’re entering or leaving Colorado for, or from, the Midwest proper.Ifthe sign is missing, but you’re re ally dead set on seeing it, turn around. After all, there should be two – one for westbound traffic and one for eastbound traffic. If neither are there and you’re some sort of lunatic that absolutely has to see (again, definitely not steal) one of the signs, and you don’t care what state it’s in, stay head ing east on I-70 through Kansas until almost Missouri. You’ll find another not long before you reach Kansas City. Kick back at four of Colorado’s bud and breakfasts One of the best parts of taking a trip somewhere is the chance to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of routine. As good citizens of the green state of Colorado, I think, or at least HOPE, we can all agree that one of the best ways to relax is by smoking doobies. That’s right – we’re taking a hardHowever,stance. one of the bummers of staying somewhere other than your humble abode is that a lot of business es don’t want you toking up in their establishments. Well friends, fear no more. The following are a few 420 friendly places to stay in southern and western Colorado, should you find yourself needing respite from being on the road and from being sober. Please, please, please remember to always ask about the property owner’s policy on smoking and vaping before lighting up.

erences to specific strains (for example, the first room featured a “white rhino”), the museum had a bunch of notable items, including Bongzilla, a 24-foot functional bong — allegedly the largest in the world — and “The Red Shark,” Hunter S. Thompson’s 1973 Chevrolet Caprice that was featured in “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.”

Cannabition is currently closed, what with the COVID-19 pandem ic and all, but it is using this time to relocate to Planet 13, a huge me ga-dispensary. When it reopens, the museum “will be a 10,000 square foot journey featuring more than 20 unique, cannabis-inspired art installations cel ebrating the arts, culture, history, and celebration of the medical and recre ational cannabis experience,” according to its Walkerwebsite.said that all of the museum’s previous exhibits will still be on display at the new Meanwhile,location.Planet 13, which is a few blocks west of Vegas’ Strip, also added a coffee house and a restaurant to its complex, from which visitors can watch cannabis-infused food and drinks being made. It also has the infrastructure ready for if and when Nevada gives its blessing to smoking lounges, the dispensary’s co-CEO Bob Groesbeck told the Los Angeles Times. The legal status of cannabis con sumption lounges is a little bit com plicated. When the state legalized recreational cannabis, the language of the law more or less allowed lounges anywhere. So, in May of 2019, Vegas’ city council approved an ordinance allowing lounges in the city. Then, the very next month, the State signed a bill into law creating a Cannabis Com pliance Board and prohibiting local governments from licensing lounges on their own. The board, in theory, is currently conducting a study on consumption lounges and will submit its recommendations about whether they should be legal or not to Nevada lawmakers during the first half of next year.So hey, by the time you actually take your next Vegas vacation, they might even exist. At the very least, you’ll be able to ‘Gram yourself pretending to smoke an enormous spliff.

This isn’t the only time CDOT has had to thwart sticky-fingered bandits. If you travel Cameron Pass, west of Fort Collins, you’ll find “Mile 68.5” near the summit. People kept taking “69.”

Location:fast Pagosa Springs, CO If you’re a stoner on the road but you’re more about that camping-out life than staying at a hotel, it’s time to find your way to Wilderness Bud and Breakfast. With some breathtaking mountain views, Wilderness Bud and Breakfast offers teepee and tent sites along the banks of the Rio Blanco. During your stay, you can enjoy ame nities such as a continental breakfast, a 420 happy hour, and a campfire area

The 420 mile marker (don’t steal it, ya jerks!) Stratton, Colorado, a tiny town of about 650 people, sits on Interstate 70, just west of the border with Kansas. It has an ice cream store, a restaurant, and a nine-hole golf course. What it’s probably most famous for, though, is the mile marker sign that stands, at least in theory, just east of I-70 at exit 419.

Since five teens in San Rafael, Cali fornia, began first started whispering it to each other as a code word for the time they planned to meet to search for an abandoned cannabis crop, “420” has become inextricably linked to stoner culture. As you can imagine, the 420 mile marker was always been a popular sign to steal, especially after Colorado legalized marijuana in 2012. According to the Washington Post, it was one 15 such signs in the country. In a 2013 effort to stop people from absconding with the sign, the Colorado Department of Transportation decided to move the marker one-hundredth of a mile to the east, replacing it with one that indicated “Mile 419.99.”

The mile numbering system for that particular interstate begins at the Utah border, and then curves north and south a bit as it travels westward, even tually hitting the border with Kansas about 450 miles later. As a result, it’s one of the only roads in the state with a well-marked 420th mile. (The other two highways of that length, U.S. 40 and 50, don’t have signs denoting the mile), according to The Denver Post.)

For at least 3,500 years, cannabis has been used as an enethogen, a chemical substance used in religious and spiritual contexts. While the reli gions that prohibit the use of intoxicat ing substances also tend to fall on the anti-weed side of the spectrum, others — from ancient, Vedic-period India to modern-day Rastafari — have consid ered it a sacred plant. Denver’s Inter national Church of Cannabis belongs very much to the latter group.

Ouray Main Street Inn Location: Ouray, CO If you’ve never ventured to the mountain haven that is Ouray, stop what you’re doing and immediately start driving there. Not only is this beautiful mountain town full of brew eries, shops, and outdoor activities, but it has a 420 friendly inn! There are eight rooms, each with mountain views you’re looking for here in Colorado and the inn is just one block from down town Ouray. Find yourself in the Out law Room, Miner’s Cabin, Box Canyon Suite, or one of the other many rooms. Our only complaint is that the Mustang Room does not come with a mustang, neither in the horse or sports car vari ety. Pot smoking is allowed inside with a Smoke Buddy or a different air filter approved by inn staff. You can either bring your own Smoke Buddy, or you can purchase/borrow one from the inn.

Elevationists, which span as many as 100 countries, don’t conform to the stoner stereotype – though, as Molloy said, neither do most stoners.

Elevationists celebrate a number of existing holidays with their own twist. For instance, the Jewish members of the church are planning a Bob Marley Seder to begin Passover. There’s also turkey-centric Danksgiving feast, for which the church invites the homeless and others in need, and Festivus, a Christmas-time replacement for peo ple who don’t celebrate traditional holi days. April 20 is also an important date for Elevationists for obvious reasons. In addition to feeding the homeless, members of the church have organized drives to give warm winter clothing to those experiencing homelessness, to gather toys for children in hospitals during Christmas, and to clean up the neighborhood’s streets.

The headquarters of the non-profit religious organization Elevation Min istries opened, naturally, on April 20, 2017.“It’s exactly what is says on the label there,” said co-founder Lee Molloy. “It’s a church of cannabis with an interna tionalThefollowing.”churchhas all the services that you’d find in a typical church – Sunday services, weddings, end of life ceremo nies, and the like – but feature the use of marijuana as an overarching motif. The mission of the church, Molloy said, is to give a home to people who use cannabis as part of their spiritual life. “Ritual mindful use of cannabis can help open up ideas; it can help break down the barriers that we have placed upon us as children,” he said. “It can re ally, ultimately help us achieve our spir itual goals, and that’s where we went with that, in a way that was accessible and not too scary to regular people.”

The church came to exist because its founders had the opportunity to pur chase the building — a former Lutheran church that had stood at 400 South Logan Street since the early 20th cen tury. After purchasing it, the founders of Elevationism, the religion practiced by the church, transformed its interior into a Technicolor temple with psyche delic rainbow-colored murals painted by Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel.

Celestial Rose Bed + BreakLocation:fast Grand Junction, CO Celestial Rose in Grand Junction is alllllll about making sure your 420 friendly accommodations are topnotch and isn’t afraid to let you know. We gotta say – this might be one of the prettiest houses we’ve laid eyes on, 420 friendly or otherwise. This gorgeous historic property is a far cry from what comes to mind when you think of 420 friendly accommodations. Classy and dreamy, the property is a mere 10- to 20-minute drive to a few local dispensaries. Guests can choose between two rooms, the Luna or the Apollo room. Not to worry though, both are equipped with breathtaking views. The ChurchInternationalofCannabis

“Just because it’s a church doesn’t mean it has to be dowdy and dull and boring,” Molloy said. “There can be happiness, there can be joy, there can be beauty, there can be fun and excite ment. And I think the love and respect that we have for our community and the colors which represent multicul turalism is all right there as part of our church.”Elevationism doesn’t require that its members convert to the religion and features no divine law, unquestionable doctrine or authoritarian organization al structure. Its members can double dip and be members of other religions as “Thewell. most important ritual that we have is the lighting of a candle. We have a ritual candle that we light at the beginning of every service, and we say a meditational prayer that basically brings everyone into there. Then, as part of that, there’s the ceremoni al sharing of the joints and passing around cannabis and really connecting on that level so that people sort of create and share communally.”

“The way that stoners are portrayed in the media is moronic and unrealistic for the most part, and it is a very low level of understanding of what using cannabis is, especially whether you’re using it for health purposes, mental health purposes, or spiritual health purposes. All of those are gone when it comes to representation in the media,” he said. “There are many good people out here, working hard to change the perception of what it means to use can nabis and how it can be used in serious ways, not just to get high – although there’s nothing wrong with that either.”

Listen, friends. This is your warn ing that I’m about to talk about some seriously weird things in this review. If you’re weirded out by the idea of an ice phallus, now is the time to exit this review.A’ight. Anyone left? Good. Let’s get to it. So I’m just going to be straight up with you guys and tell you that I recently spent way too many hours googling the phrase “snow penis.” Why did I do such a terrible thing to my mind, you ask? Well, it all started with a bowl of Boo Kush from Prohibition Herb. If you haven’t made the connection yet, that’s the strain I’m reviewing this issue for Prohibition, and (spoiler alert) it’s a good one. A realllllly good one. Boo Kush is a new premium strain on the shelves at Prohibition, and if you haven’t stumbled across it yet, here’s what you should know. This strain is generalized as an indica, and its genetics came from two killer strains: Ghost OG and OG Kush. The first thing I noticed about this strain is incredibly green—like, the greenest ever—and it is quite the stinker. Literally. This strain smells very, very potent, to the point where the closed container made my entire living room reek of weed, pine, and freshly cut grass. Not that I’m complaining, mind you. I like the smell of weed, and I like the smell of the great outdoors, so I don’t mind my whole house reeking of cannabis. But if you’re trying to be discreet about your habits, this is not the right strain for you. You will get busted just having it on you, and if you smoke it? Well. There is no ozone spray on the planet that can cover that stench up. Oh, but if you just power through the stink lines that this strain emits, you’ll wind up stoned, a little weird, and happy as a freaking clam. Well, as evidenced by what happened to me, anyway. Your Boo Kush mileage mayLet’svary.talk about that little experience now, shall we? So, as I mentioned, I spent a lot of time Googling one very obscure and dumb term, and it’s all due to this strain. That’s because, after I smoked a bowl of Boo Kush, I was very, very high. Like the highest in the room high. It started off with my feeling like my arms were covered in a million tiny little ants, none of which were aggressive — but all of which were quite content to tickle me. That feeling quickly trickled down to the rest of my appendages — and up to my scalp — in a rush of THC-in ducedFromtrippiness.there,the head high kicked in. I started getting super chatty and inter ested in any and everything. I wanted to TALK. Didn’t matter what the subject matter was. I just needed to tell every one my Despitethoughts.theserious body high, though, things stayed pretty typical (but high) for a while. I chatted and perused Reddit, content with checking out some of the weirder subs I subscribe to as entertain ment when I’m high. (Pro tip: If you’re a Redditor, you have to subscribe to Curb Finds. It’s wild when you’re high.) But that didn’t last. Things took a turn for the weird (surprise!) when I remem bered that we were supposed to get a torrential downpour of snow later that day.How did that snow memory get weird, you ask? Well, because I am a freaking juvenile, I started to wonder what the internet thought the worst versions of a good old snowman were. Cause, you know,Like,reasons.dopeople build snow Eiffel tow ers? Snow Olafs? Has anyone created a snow moose? Has anyone even tried to recreate the very NSFW “garden” that Laszlo from “What We Do in the Shad ows” takes so much freaking pride in? After all, who wouldn’t think it hilarious to create THAT out of snow? And then, like a bolt of lightning, it hit me. I wonder if anyone has made any epic snow peni. So, I did what any good pot writer would do: I googled it. Turns out that yes, yes people do, in fact, take the time to erect — pun intended — snow phallus’, and it’s not just in Colorado. It’s everywhere — from the good-natured Canadians to the 200 bored people who live in the snowy state of North Dakota to the weirdos in our fair weed state. Snow penises are everywhere. (Don’t believe me? Please search it up.) That discovery would have been enough to set me off on a belly-busting bout of laughter in a completely sober state, but the massive head high that I was rocking made it even freaking funnier. I could not look away. It felt like I scrolled these images for an eternity, looking at the admittedly disgusting, but also hilarious, dong artwork made of snow.And as I scrolled, I smoked bowl after bowl of this strain. It became a nonstop loop, with me taking hits, scrolling snow dongs, and then laughing hysterically at my finds. In between, my skin would tick le with the pleasant feeling of tiny ants.

The Boo Kush weed strain from Prohibition Herb gave us the freedom to be a little weirder — and a little higher — than normal

Want to wake up horrified (and delighted) by the search terms you looked up while high? Well, weirdo — this strain is for you

I’m not sure how long this cycle lasted, to be honest — but at some point the munchies kicked in and I knew I was done for. A few bags of chips and a few more ice dongs and I was down for the count. Out. Asleep, dreaming of these artistic creations like they were sugar plums dancing in my head. When I finally woke from my slumber, though, it was business as usual. No foggy brain, no embarrassment, and no regrets. Just the remnants of one weird Google search and the memories of one hell of a strain. Now, do I think it was totally the fault of Boo Kush that I decided to Google such a terrible but glorious search term? Of course not. That’s just how my brain works.Butwhat Boo Kush did do was free my brain of the static from work and life, which gave me the freedom to look up the weirdest junk on the net. And for that, I am grateful. — DGO Pufnstuf

The Tooty Fruity strain will hook you up with a brain vacation

I laughed so hard at what would have otherwise been mundane or annoying that my abs still hurt as I type this. It was that much laughter. The only downside to this strain is that I got a little paranoid after a second bowl. Nothing major, but the giggles were traded in for more of a heightened awareness, I guess — which could quick ly turned uncomfortable if I’d overdone it.

Dreaming

But before we all start daydreaming of dragging an ounce of Tooty Fruity to some tropical sands at a place well outside of the frigid climate of South west Colorado, let’s talk a little bit about WHY you’d want this strain on your side. And it all starts with the fruit. As you may have gathered by the name, Tooty Fruity, or Tutti Frutti, as it’s sometimes called, is a strain that tastes and smells like it should have been grown among the pineapples and dragonfruits of some tropical paradise — not in the grow ops from some Colorado dispensary.I’mnotkidding, you guys. This strain is a fruity flavor that reeks of melons and berries in a fruit salad — not your typical ol’ skunk weed. In fact, that’s the first thing I noticed when I picked this strain up: the smell. It reminded me of a life outside of my four walls, outside of Colorado — and way outside of a global pandemic. In a dumb way, it kind of reminded me of what it is to be free as a bird in the summer air. (Let me live!) The second thing I noticed was the sheer amount of tiny popcorn nugs in the bag of weed. At The Green House, this strain is only available in half-ounc es or ounces, so I had to grab a halfounce to review it. So, be aware that you’ll have to really commit to this one if you want to try it. You’ll have enough to last for Luckily,weeks.that commitment was no skin off of my teeth, because I loved this strain as soon as I tried it. My first thoughts when I inhaled was that this strain tastes just as good as it smells. It’s a fruity punch straight to the skull — and the effects are just as chill as its mellow, tropical vibe. And, all it took was one bowl of this strain to get the ol’ noggin’ working well enough to start blabbering. After the bowl was cashed, I found I was chatty as hell, talking about everything and anything that I’d been keeping trapped in my brain as of late. (In other words, I was talking about utter nonsense.)

I also found that I was also instantly happy, which is admittedly no small feat these days. I’m not depressed, but cabin fever has officially set in once again, between the snow and the cold and the other day to day nonsense we all deal with. As such, it’s tough to unlock the in ner zen sometimes. But this strain did it. In fact, it unlocked my inner optimist so well that I could not stop laughing.

Luckily, I didn’t — so I was able to ride the occasional bouts of paranoia into happy territory once again. And, it all happened with basically no munchies. That’s a freaking win if I’ve ever heard one.So, if you’re looking for a quick pickme-up that reminds you of summer and fun and being ever so slightly carefree, Tooty Fruity may be the way to go. You’ll have to buy a metric ton of it if you want to indulge, but it’s a solid strain that you’ll want to keep around anyway — so don’t worry about that part. If you grab some, I have a feeling you’ll be staring at an empty bag of Tooty Fruity in no time flat. I certainly will be. — DGO Pufnstuf of tropical islands?

Are you feeling a little fruity these days? Well, join the club. And if that’s the case, I have the strain for you. This week we’re reviewing Tooty Fruity from The Green House Durango, and let me tell you, if you’re sick of the winter weather and would rather be sitting on a tropical island with a drink in hand, you’ll probably want to grab some of this bad boy. (And who wouldn’t want to be doing that?)

Everything was funny, from the dog chasing its tiny, stumpy tail to him gnawing on the furniture. (Those teeth marks are not funny now that I’m sober, but they were absolutely funny then.)

We got punched right in the brain by highAndwatermelonCannaPunchnectarbythatwemeanwedrankabunchofitandgotsuperinaparklikeatrueweirdo

While our entertainment options are pretty limited, it is times such as these when it’s prudent to be thankful that you (hopefully) live in a state where the weed flows freely. If not, I have no words of comfort for you. RIP to your life. In any case, I do live in a legal state, so I decided to get myself a solid outdoor edible that would serve as the final puzzle piece to my plans to hang out in the grassy expanse of the park near my home one late afternoon. Deciding to switch it up from my typ ical choice, which is THC-infused food, I chose to get a cannabis-infused drink this time — specifically CannaPunch watermelon nectar. I’d been meaning to pick a few of these up at some point because I’ve tried plenty of other weedy beverages that hit the spot, but I hadn’t yet given CannaPunch the ol’ college try. I figured that CannaPunch’s watermelon weed juice could be pretty delicious. After all, I do love their Dutch Girl Stroopwafels. I went with the watermelon nectar flavor because, let’s be honest, water melon equates to summer, and if getting stoned in the park was going to be the highlight of summer, well then, by Zuul, it was going to happen with some water melon-flavored weed. CannaPunch drinks come with 100 mg of THC in the bottle. To drink it, all you have to do is pour a bit into the lid — which is equal to 2.5 mg of THC — and then take that sucker like a shot. Because you have a little more precision over your intake, CannaPunch drinks offer a solid way to experiment with microdosing — if that’s what you choose to do. That is not what I chose. I ended up taking 10 milligrams (so four shots) my first go around. And, to be honest, it reminded me a bit of the medicine syrup I’d have to drink as a kid when I was sick,

March 2022 | 21 Hi there! It’s time for another Q&A with our good buddies Blaze and Puf. These two pot heads are here to answer all of your burning questions about cannabis, legalization, and other weed-related inquiries. That’s basically all they’re good for — that and smoking weed — so you might as well take advan tage of their useless knowledge as you see fit. This month, we have all sorts of awesome questions to answer for you. From whether it’s a smart idea to mail weed (hint: it’s not) to what pot tourism to take advantage of in Denver, here are your questions about pot for our in-house potheads. Have questions to ask these two fools? Send them to editor@ dgomag.com and we’ll do our best to answer them. And, feel free to send them allll over — your wild, wacky, and just plain weird questions about weed. Nothing shocks us at this point. And we do mean nothing. I live in Colorado where weed is legal and want to mail a friend some edibles in Oregon where it’s also legal. Is there any way I can do this? Blaze: Sorry, my dude. No can do. Despite marijuana being legal in both states, weed is still federally criminalized and considered a Schedule I drug by the federal government. So, if you ship marijuana over state lines (whether you use USPS, UPS, or FedEx) and if you’re caught, it can be considered a federal crime. You could end up facing felony charges, jail time, and lots of money in fines. So, until weed becomes legalized fed erally (which we can only keep praying to Zuul for), you’re going to have to be sat isfied with sending your friend a gift card or Venmo-ing them so they can treat themselves at their local dispensary.

Puf: Mailing weed is what I would call a completely, totally, absolutely, all-encom passingly bad idea. So, funny story. (And by that I mean not funny and totally terrifying.) I ac tually know someone (who is TOTALLY not me) who got busted trying to do precisely this—but it was many years ago, so don’t @ me, feds. And, as you can imagine, getting caught was not a fun experience. It involved a very stern letter from the postmaster warning that this person had been suspected of mailing weed to another state, which violated federal law and came with a metric f@ ck ton of penalties if convicted. As such, they were holding this person’s package and if they wanted it back they would need to call and arrange a time to get it. Otherwise, it would be destroyed. (I ob viously cannot remember the wording, but I remember enough to know it was not a letter you want to get.) The person who should have been on the receiving end of the package also got a letter, which was scary as hell for them, too.

Picking up a package of weed was clearly not an option, so this person just let it sit there while hoping no one both ered to open it. That came with a ton of paranoia, of course, because the scary letter warning that the scary person behind the postal service knew what the moron who mailed the weed had done — so the moron just HOPED that the post al service was aware that whatever was in the tiny package could not possibly yield enough criminal penalties to justify prosecution.Butitdidn’t end there. After receiving this letter, this person who shall not be named spent like a year being terrified of going to the post office, JUST in case they were slated to get arrested for drug trafficking what amounted to two small containers of weed to a depressed friend in a prohibition state. You don’t want that type of life, bro. Or sis. Trust me. Ain’t no fun looking over your shoulder trying to figure out if you’re going to be considered the next Tony Montana because you were helping out a friend with some plants. That’s how bad things happen. While this person obviously did not face any criminal penalties in the end, there’s no guarantee you will have the same luck if you were to get busted. The truth is that you just never know what hair is going to be up some prosecutor’s ass, and it’s just not worth the risk.

Do I think it’s fair that we can’t mail weed? Hell no. It’s dumb. We can mail booze or beer or CBD oil, but we can’t mail weed. This is some antiquated dumbness.Butthat’s the way it is right now — and the way it will continue to be until federal lawmakers get their shit together on cannabis. Can’t change the dumb federal laws, so you gotta comply with them — no matter how bad you want to help out a friend. Trust me on this one.

I’m visiting Denver and want to explore some of the weed tourism there. What is there to do? Blaze: Denver has long been considered a top destination in the U.S. for weed tour

From the best pot tourism in Denver to whether

to mail weed, here are the answers to all your burning weed questions this month

Ask a couple of potheads it’s a smart idea

While every establishment has its own way of doing things (some require that you purchase membership while others only allow you to consume edibles), it can be a chill place to get to know other Denver stoners. On top of that, you can take weed tours, classes where you can paint and puff, and cooking classes where you can get stoned and learn a new recipe.

For starters, not only can you cater a top-notch weed tasting dinner created by some world-renowned chefs, but you can stay at a weed-friendly bed and breakfast or hotel, you can visit the grow operations of numerous dispensa ries, you can buy a buncha dang weed AT the dispensaries, and you can get super stoned as long as you’re not con

ism. After all, we were the first state to le galize it back in 2012. (Ed. note: OK, Blaze. We get it. You ditched the bish to move to Denver. We totally do not hold a grudge or Becauseanything.)of that, there are lots of things to do in Denver if you’re want ing to fully immerse yourself in weed culture. To start, you can enjoy one of the handfuls of marijuana lounges located across the city. These establish ments operate like bars, in a way, except instead of beers, it’s marijuana.

Puf: Denver has SO MANY WEED ACTIVITIES! Oh, lawd. (Reverse, Terry! Reverse!)So,your trip to Denver is going to be awesome if you plan it right. I’m not even kidding. There are so many weed-related things to entertain your self with, and they’re all awesome.

22 | March 2022

March 2022 | 23 suming in public. AND that’s not all, friend! In addition to those awesome things, you win, on your trip to Denver, the opportunity to visit the International Church of Canna bis, where the Elevationists who wor ship there hold daily guided meditations and laser light shows IN THE MIDDLE OF THEIR DANG SANCTUARY. Is that not enough? No? Well, that’s OK, cause there’s more! Denver also offers a ton of cannabis tours you can hop on, whether you want to take a Haunted Hash party bus or tour the inner workings of the cannabis industry. Or, you can opt to rock out with your weed out at a paint and smoke class. Want to take a ton of weed selfies? The Marijuana Mansion is an option, too! That place is rad as hell and was literally and figuratively created for the ‘gram. So many photo ops! Heard enough? Great. The TL;DR version is this: There are a ton of weed tourist options in Denver and the sur rounding areas, so if you’re a cannabis fan, take advantage of them while you’re visiting. You won’t regret it, and all your friends will be jealous. The end. Weed deliveries are legal in Denver. When do you think other parts of Col orado will offer deliveries, too? Blaze: Weed deliveries can be a conve nient way for stoners to stock up on their cannabis stash without having to leave home. Unfortunately, it’s not offered in many areas outside of Denver with excep tions like Aurora and Boulder which are located just outside of Denver. This is because weed delivery legisla tion is going to be dependent on the city you live in. Your local city legislatures will be responsible for not only legaliz ing weed delivery but deciding on any rules and regulations that dispensaries will have to abide by if they choose to approve it. Puf: They. Better. (Prepares to stand on a soapbox.)Itis,in my humble opinion, freaking absurd that the delivery options for weed are limited to Denver and a few surrounding areas. But as with nearly everything else weed-related in this state, each county or city has control over what types of weed businesses, if any, are allowed within their confines. That limits things like delivery to areas where there’s support on the local level. This remains the cause of limited delivery options in Colorado. And that’s completely and totally dumb to me, be cause while we were the first to legalize the good-good, we’re pretty far behind in how our market runs. Other states, like California, have had thriving delivery options for years now — despite the fact that they legalized cannabis well after Colorado. It’s like we were the nation’s test market, and the states that have legalized after us have taken what we did and made it better and more efficient. Case in point? My parents got weed delivered to a restaurant in San Francis co last fall because my dad’s recent knee replacement was causing issues with walking. He was in horrible pain from trekking up and down the hills of good old San Francisco, so my mom ordered him some weed. From an app. And she unabashedly went outside of the restau rant to retrieve it when it arrived. That’s awesome! Like, my dad prob ably wouldn’t have been able to make it to a dispensary on foot at that point, given the knee swelling and pain, but he didn’t have to. It came to him. That may not seem like a big deal, but it is. The reality is that my dad isn’t the only person who uses cannabis for pain and injury relief, and there are tons of medical patients who simply just cannot make it to a dispensary — not without severe pain, inconvenience, or a lot of help.They need an option for delivery, and hell — so does everyone else! If we want to keep stoned driving to a minimum, and if we want to truly practice what we preach about medical marijuana, maybe we should make it a little more accessi ble to those who need it, right? Right. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk. I have a conviction in Colorado from getting caught with weed way back when before it was legal. Is it possible for me to get this expunged from my record? Blaze: In light of its current legalization, the fact that there are marijuana criminal charges still hanging over people’s heads seems a little ridiculous. But, it happens.

In 2017, Colorado passed legisla tion to help people with old marijuana convictions get their records removed and sealed. However, whether you’re able to do this may depend on what your charges were. Your best course of action is to consult with an attorney, or, depending on where you live, consult a legal clinic in Boulder or Denver coun ties.

Puf: OK, well, let’s insert the obligatory “I am not a lawyer; I’m just a pothead, so please do not take this as legal advice” here.Now that that’s out of the way, here’s the deal: Yes, maybe. You may be able to get your convic tion expunged from your record, but it all depends. A few years ago that wouldn’t have been possible, but it is now!That said, it all depends on what your conviction was actually for — and by that I mean it depends on how much freaking weed you got caught with.

Per the 2020 law that makes this pos sible, “the governor may pardon a class of defendants convicted of possession of up to two ounces of marijuana. While a formal application need not be filed, an individual will still have to request relief since the state has no database that identifies marijuana possession convic tions.”

— Colo. Rev. Stat. § 16-17-102(2). But, the maximum ounces aren’t all you may have to contend with if you want a pardon. You may also have to prove that you had a record of good behavior before and after you were con victed. Per Colo. Rev. Stat. § 16-17-102: “Good character previous to convic tion, good conduct during confinement in the correctional facility, the state ments of the sentencing judge and the district attorneys, if any, and any other material concerning the merits of the application shall be given such weight as to the governor may seem just and proper, in view of the circumstances of each particular case, a due regard being had to the reformation of the accused.”

So, you probably can’t get your conviction pardoned if you were busted with like kilos of the ol’ Colombian white a year after you got caught with weed or whatever, but again, I don’t know. You’d have to consult an attorney on that and not just some dumbo behind a computer.Thegood news is that Governor Polis had already pardoned thousands of people for marijuana convictions that qualify. And while it’s perhaps not the fastest process, plenty of people are benefitting from it. So if your conviction is hindering your ability to do your job, or your ability to get a job, or some other area of your life, it could be worth looking into, but you’d have to talk to a real attorney with real working knowl edge of all of this. All I can really do is consult the inter net and report back. That’s about all I’m good for. Sir Blaze Ridcully — DGO Pufnstuf

The group says its campaign is “an effort to encourage Ohio legislators to regulate marijuana for adult-use, just like we do for alcohol,” and to advance a proposal that would fix “a broken system while ensuring local control, keeping marijuana out of the hands of children, and benefiting everyone.”

Weed orders will be placed through the Uber Eats app — just like any other order would be — and will be fulfilled within an hour of order placement, which is pretty darn quick. And, as you may have gathered, the only option for order fulfillment is pickup; there is no Uber Eats delivery of weed. Not right now, anyway. Meghan Casserly, Uber Eats‘ head of communi cations for delivery, confirmed to The Verge that there would be no delivery. So you’ll have to head out and pick it up at the location you choose. But that’s a small price to pay for the convenience of ordering, right? Right. So, this is great for Ontario, but what about the rest of Canada? Or the U.S.? Reuters asked an Uber Eats spokes person about the possibility of expand ing the service into other Canadian provinces, or the U.S., and were told that there “nothing more to share at this time.”Given that response, it doesn’t appear that there’s a plan to expand the Uber Eats weed ordering to other markets yet.

But before lawmakers can weigh the coalition’s bill, the petition will have to go to the secretary of state for verifi cation. Once the verification is done, “lawmakers will have four months to act on the legislation,” according to a recent report from the Columbus Dispatch. Should lawmakers fail to pass the bill or an amended version, “supporters can collect another 132,887 valid signatures to put the measure on the ballot for the next general election.”

but not the gross kind that you always ended up gagging down — the good kind that you secretly always hoped your parents would shell out. This was sweet, smooth, and tangy. It was a bit like sipping on an adult juice bottle. Anyway, once I’d dosed my water melon weed drink, I packed up a book, my headphones, and some snacks, and then set off for the park down the street from my home, where I planned to effectively waste the rest of the day until the sun went down. Or waste the day until I got too cold. Whichever came first. Thankfully, it didn’t take long for the THC to dig its fingers into my brain, because the sun’s game was strong and I was not lovin’ the heat. Luckily, that CannaPunch I’d chugged before I left took the edge off. Instead of glomping to the park out of a complete sense of boredom, I was floating toward a grassy field of possibilities. Or what ever.CannaPunch offered a sense of a full-body mellow with a side helping of euphoria. There was a gentle buzzing I felt throughout my body, and it was enough to convince me to stay outside until at least the effects wore off. I actually ended up staying out long enough to watch the sunset, which was not expected given my body’s finicky reactions to any type of weather. I swear no shrooms were ingested, but I felt one with nature and that nature was one with me. A little too one, perhaps, as I ended up smacking away quite a few mosquitoes while I was out there.The next morning I caught a glance at myself in the mirror and found that I was covered in bug bites. When I say covered, I mean it looked like a rash had broken out all over my body. I had unknowingly been that evening’s appe tizer, entree, and dessert for I can only presume was an army of biting insects. I didn’t notice the day before, though, as I was too high to care. Other than getting feasted on by a battalion of bugs, the CannaPunch wa termelon nectar experience was exact ly what I was looking for in an edible: delicious, smooth, and offers the option to dose light enough to still function and relax. That’s a win in my book, even if it means getting eaten alive.

— Sir Blaze Ridcully provides a needed benchmark about hemp production to assist producers, regulatory agencies, state governments, processors, and other key industry en tities,” said NASS Administrator Hubert Hamer. “Not only will these data guide USDA agencies in their support of do mestic hemp production, the results can also help inform producers’ decisions about growing, harvesting, and selling hemp as well as the type of hemp they decide to produce. The survey results may also impact policy decisions about the hemp industry.”

According to the Columbus Dispatch, the proposal “would allow Ohioans age 21 and older to buy and possess 2.5 ounces of cannabis and 15 grams of concentrates,” and that they “could also grow up to six plants individually and no more than 12 in a household with multipleCannabisadults.”products “would be taxed 10%, with revenue going toward admin istrative costs, addiction treatment pro grams, municipalities with dispensaries and a social equity and jobs program,” according to the newspaper. The activist group behind the push to legalize cannabis in Ohio is the “Coalition to Regulate Marijuana Like Alcohol.”“Marijuana legalization is an issue whose time has come in Ohio. Accord ing to recent polling, Ohioans are not only in favor of legalizing marijuana for regulated adult-use, they view it as inevitable,” the coalition says on its website. “We hope that Ohio’s leaders seize this opportunity to take control of our future. Support for a regulatory and taxation system is critical in order to set Ohio up for success should we see changes at the federal level.”

If this current bill succeeds, it will mean big things for cannabis in Ohio. The proposal would not only legalize recreational cannabis for adults 21 and over in Ohio, but would also grandfather the state’s medical cannabis businesses into the newly created recreational market.Thatwould be excellent timing, as Ohio’s medical cannabis program could already be on the cusp of a significant overhaul. The Ohio State Senate passed a bill earlier in 2021 that would make the first changes to the medical can nabis program since its inception five years ago. Uber Eats takes things green Things are leveling up for Uber Eats customers — at least in Ontario, Cana da,Asanyway.oflate November, Uber Eats users in Ontario have a new option when ordering pick-up items, and unlike the other options on the menu, this one is green, green, green. Yep, you guessed it. It’s weed! Uber Eats added weed! Adding weed to the menu is a big step for the food ordering marketplace, which has traditionally limited the menu offerings to things like burgers and pizza. And, from what we can tell, it looks like it will be a pretty easy fix for Ontario residents (Ontarians? Ontar io-ans? We don’t know.)

From page 5From page 20 26 | March 2022

A proposal by activists to legalize cannabis in Ohio has officially garnered more than 200,000 signatures, which means that the proposal is heading to the legislature to be considered within the next few months.

This is not the first time that an Ohio advocacy group has campaigned lawmakers to legalize cannabis in the state. Advocacy group ResponsibleOhio waged another legalization campaign in 2015 — but the push was unsuccessful.

“The USDA has done a terrific job of responding to farmer concerns, but there are certain issues that have to be changed in the law to reduce the burdens on U.S. farmers,” Jonathan Mill er, General Counsel of the U.S. Hemp Roundtable told High Times. For more information, you can access the full report on the NASS website at nass.usda.gov. Hemp data is also available in NASS’s online Quick Stats database. Ohio’s hope for a legal market Cannabis advocates have been pushing for legalization in Ohio for what feels like an eternity, but thus far, weed remains illegal in the state. As with Tex as’ ban on smokable hemp, though, that could change in the near future.

Here’s how it will work: Right now, there is one retail partner on board — Canadian cannabis retailer Tokyo Smoke — which has dozens of stores throughout Ontario. So while the options are limited to Tokyo Smoke for now, there should be multiple locations to choose from. And, multiple products, considering that Tokyo Smoke is a pret ty gosh darn big chain of dispensaries, eh? (Get it, eh? Canadian? Sorry. We’re just jealous of this new development.)
