ithin a few weeks we will be celebrating the 4th of July. For many of us, this is merely a day to gather with friends and family for a day or rest, relaxation, BBQs, picnics, sporting events, adventure or just plain fun. But we must remember the real reason we are celebrating. It is the acknowledgment that we are an independent and free nation of people. However, with freedoms come restrictions. Our elected representatives masque restrictions as something that is for the greater good of the people. However, lately, we have witnessed the overreaching laws that are affecting the medical marijuana community in Colorado and other states in our country. While most of us will agree that there need to be regulations in this industry, the 78 page mega piece of legislation, HB 10-1284 goes overboard with medical marijuana directives to caregivers, growers, store owners, edible companies and anyone involved in the industry. Unfortunately, more focus is placed on restricting the medical marijuana provider than affording safe access for medical marijuana patients to get their medication.

Unfortunately, the overbearing restrictions imposed by HB 10-1284, and its many ambiguities, will open the floodgates of litigation and future legislation.

In November 2000, voters in Colorado passed Amendment 20 to the state constitution. Almost, 10 years later, legislation addressing the growing and dispensing of medical marijuana is close to being signed into law by Governor Bill Ritter (as of presstime HB 10-1284 has not been signed). Many see this proposed law as a step backwards from the intent of the voters who passed Amendment 20. Others see it as a much needed set of rules to stop the rampant proliferation of medical marijuana dispensaries opening in their cities and neighborhoods. Unfortunately, the overbearing restrictions imposed by HB 10-1284, and its many ambiguities, will open the floodgates of litigation and future legislation. So the real question is, are we truly the land of the free? Seek out and support the non-profit entities that are pioneering the efforts in Colorado and nationwide for medical marijuana patient’s rights. And as always, visit www.dailybuds.com where you can share your views and thoughts about the issues. Have a safe and happy 4th of July. Kush Editorial Board, www.dailybuds.com

I’m in my mid-30s and love to ski, swim, hike and play beer league softball. I’m always up to try something new. This past winter, I tried something all right. I tried snowboarding. So my friend, whom we will call Karen, because that is her name, is from Texas. She’s been around the globe and on many occasions we have talked about skiing together. In January, Karen agreed that we should make good on our promise and have a ski weekend. She would fly out, stay a long weekend and we would hit 3 different hills. Between the phone calls and emails and her actual arrival, something happened. Karen watched the Olympics and became a Shaun White disciple. (I don’t know why I didn’t see this coming, considering that every Facebook update on her page had a Photoshopped picture of her doing some mad snowboarding trick.) As a “hostess” gift, Karen decided that on day one, she would pay for an hour snowboarding lesson. I thought, “great!” There are a

For those of you unfamiliar, and I hope you are because I don’t wish this injury on anyone, the coccyx, or tailbone, is the triangular bony structure located at the bottom of the vertebral column. It is composed of three to five bony segments held in place by joints and ligaments. When an injury occurs, the result is severe localized pain or tenderness to the area. Sitting for long periods of time make it feel worse. Here it is, June and I can tell you firsthand that the pain I feel daily, is excruciating. Driving is hard. Making a U-Turn is unfathomable. Driving down a road with potholes or ruts in the road is like being beaten up by a linebacker. The pain doesn’t go away. If I sit too long, it takes all of my upper body strength to stand. On a scale of 1-10, the pain is a 12.

STRAIN REVIEW:

by DILLION ZACHARA

They say that diamonds are forever. They can cut through steel, and every girl wants one on her finger. These are all very glamorous reputations, but with this strain it’s not so straightforward. Taking a name like ‘Diamond Kush’, this strain of indica has a lot to live up to. But DK certainly didn’t last forever. With a strong buzz to start, it tapered off pretty fast, leaving us mentally and physically bored, wanting to smoke more to maintain the high. Don’t get us mixed up though, it’s a really nice high while it lasts... one of the better indicas around. It’s just really disappointing when it wears off. Something so good is hard to let slip away. The situation is sort of like when a bride thinks she’s going to get a 5 carat diamond on her wedding day and only gets a 4.5 carat rock. 4.5 is still pretty legit and hard to complain about, but the expectation was set and not met. ‘Diamond Kush’ sets a pretty high expectation, almost meets it or does for a short period, and then leaves all the magic at the alter. But Diamond Kush does have it’s place in your medicine cabinet. It’s always nice to have a variety available, and having a short term buzzer on hand can be a perfect fit for many situations. Say for example you only have a half hour before you need to drive somewhere, this strain will be mostly leveled off by then. And then when it does wear off, it’s actually a real nice state of equilibrium. DK should provide a nice balance to your creeper strains. 22 kush

This particular batch of Diamand Kush wielded an intoxicatingly sweet smell, with a matching sweet taste that seemed a nice fit to it’s name. With a shimmery white coating of crystals, it looked like it had been rolled in sugar and then glazed. Very light and fluffy buds that seemed to smoke much faster than we had anticipated. A nice amount of orange hairs were also sprinkled amongst the snowy landscape to offer some color diversity. Overall, Diamond Kush offers a pleasantly strong indica high that doesn’t take long to smoke and doesn’t take long to peak. The smell, taste, and other physical characteristics are all very enticing, but they don’t last for long. The price should average around $60/ eighth, which usually lands the on the higher end of the price scale. Is it worth it? We’ll probably go for a cheaper, longer lasting strain next time. DK is a very nice experience, but with so many great strains out there it’s good to keep shopping around.

LAWYERS COME TOGETHER TO FIGHT MMJ REGULATION met in Denver last month to address the concerns aaasurrounding the medical marijuana legislation in Colorado, and many of the attorneys are planning on filing lawsuits against the state. Ten lawyers met with more than 200 concerned cannabis proponents at the Lowes Hotel in Denver on May 24, giving advice to medical marijuana patients, dispensaries and supporters on how to react to the new tight regulations that are set to squeeze the medical ganja industry. The event was organized by Boulder-based Cannabis Therapy Institution, which invited lawyers from Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs and Blackhawk to talk about what’s next. Denver attorney Jessica Corry from Hoban and Feola, LLC, law firm was on the panel, as well as Colorado Springs criminal defense lawyer Clifton Black, who has spent much of his time in the last year defending marijuana growers. Jessica Corry’s husband, attorney Rob Corry, told Kush Magazine that he will file a lawsuit against the legislation “as soon as it becomes law.” The lawyers wouldn’t specifically outline what their lawsuits will look like. The law is set to take effect July 1. Kush Magazine made several attempts to contact Governor Bill Ritter about HB 1284 and SB 109, but his communications director never returned phone calls. (continued on page 30) 28 kush

GROUP OF HIGH-PROFILE LAWYERS

“(The lawsuit) will be a constitutional challenge to both House Bill 1284 and Senate Bill 109. Many patients are going to be harmed by this piece of legislation. They’re already having enough trouble with access,” Corry said. “We’re going to get an injunction that would immediately stop the state.” Attorney Clifton Black joined the panel discussion in Denver because he thinks that House Bill 1284 is “an absolute litigation breeder.” Black has represented a number of marijuana proponents in Colorado Springs — a city that has roughly 100 dispensaries. Both Black and the Corry’s said it’s not every day that a group of competing lawyers gather in public to talk about litigation, but because Colorado’s medical marijuana laws are set to change so drastically, the panel discussion was necessary.

“When you look at the residency requirement and the number of people it affects, it makes sense to have a class action lawsuit,” Black explained. Rob Corry is still planning the next step with litigation. “At this point we’re still trying to put together a coalition of plantiffs,” Corry said.

IT’S A DIFFICULT

He also feels that the two year residency requirement is a bad piece of the legislation.

MOUNTAIN TO CLIMB,

“Colorado’s economy is hurting and the medical marijuana industry is one of the positive things about our economy, and the government is trying to kill the golden goose so to speak, and we’re trying to save it,” Corry explained. “Hopefully we’ll get an immediate result. That said, it is an uphill battle to strike down a state statute. It’s a difficult mountain to climb, but it’s a mountain worth climbing and we’re going to try our best.”

BUT IT’S A MOUNTAIN WORTH CLIMBING AND WE’RE GOING TO TRY OUR BEST. “I think it’s fantastic that CTI brought legal minds together,” Black said, adding that it’s what marijuana supporters needed in order to be legally informed. Black said several parts of the legislation warrant a class action lawsuit, including the piece that talks about having to be a Colorado resident for two years before opening a dispensary in the state.

the time when I got the call, that Moffatt wanted us to make the mugs. I flew over to Hawaii, and was told that we had the order, but that Tom wanted everything made in Hawaii. Since Tom wasn’t the kind of guy you said no to, and it was a tropical island that he was demanding, not some freezing tundra somewhere, I literally moved over to Maui within days, to make the Christmas gifts. While we were making the stocking stuffers, we decided to use a little of the extra gold we had and constructed our first Lavastoneware piece, which we then happily passed around at the Sunshine Festival inside Diamondhead Crater on New Years Day. As chance would have it a new magazine was about to hit the streets that would set the course for Celebrity for the next couple of decades. If you guessed correctly you know that the new magazine was High Times. And from there Celebration Pipes has never looked back. From one tiny ad in the first High Times Magazine, DaPiper and crew received over 250 pipe orders in the spring of 1974. After that the Celebration pieces started showing up regularly in green rooms at major concerts including the likes of Aerosmith, Willie Nelson, and Loggins and Messina. In hindsight maybe Lach should have called the company Celebrity Pipes. Lach an original founder of NORML in Hawaii in the 70s is still is involved with NORML today and donates to NORML fundraisers regularly, by contributing various Celebration pieces to the organiztion.

The cannabis connoisseur can choose from several finishes including Opal, Black Coral, Purple Haze or their exotic Hanalei Blue. Throughout 2010 Celebration Pipes will be dedicating 10% of it’s sales for the benefit of the “Prisoner Fund” which is being facilitated through Beverly Hills 90210 NORML. To support this effort DaPiper will be appearing at various dispensaries and doing pipe signings. To get information about DaPiper’s appearances you can go to dailybuds.com for the specifics. Celebration still makes each pipe in Maui. As DaPiper would tell you: Mahalo nui loa! For more information about Celebration Pipes or where to find one please go to www.celebrationpipes.com

NEW WOMAN’S MOVEMENT RAISES CANNABIS AWARENESS

by NOELLE LEAVITT

WOMEN ACROSS THE NATION ARE TAKING HEED to what marijuana means to them, forming a new group that focuses on the calming affects of cannabis and how it can decrease domestic violence, which is often a result of alcohol abuse. The group — Women’s Marijuana Movement — made its debut in Denver last month and was formed under the popular Colorado non-profit organization called Safer Alternative For Enjoyable Recreation (SAFER). “It’s not a war against alcohol. We’re just saying give us and give our children a safer alternative,” said marijuana activist Crystal Guess. “Women sort of put a flower on everything. There’s something about putting women in front of something that makes it more attractive.” On May 6, a cluster of women gathered at Colorado’s state capitol to tell lawmakers why marijuana should be legal and that it’s a healthier alternative to alcohol and other mind-altering drugs. “There are a lot of women out there that are afraid of losing their children or their job if they admit to using marijuana. It’s always been sort of a male dominated topic of discussion,” said Guess, who recently moved from Virginia to Colorado to help SAFER and other cannabis organizations rally on behalf of marijuana.

are “unjust, irrational and detrimental to the health and well-being of our children.” Corry has a strong statement about the movement on the group’s website, www.womensmarijuanamovement.org. She states that, “While members of this movement are unified in their belief that marijuana prohibition should end and marijuana regulation should begin, they approach the issue with their own opinions and perspectives. We have mothers, like me, who are thinking about the well-being of our children. We have young professionals who are tired of living in a society in which people are encouraged to drink alcohol, but are punished for using marijuana. We have patients and their family members who understand how marijuana can alleviate pain and suffering. And we have women who have witnessed or suffered from alcohol-related violence in their homes, on their campuses and in their communities. These women truly believe that making marijuana available as a legal alternative to alcohol could make our society a safer -- and allaround better -- place to live.” Mason Tvert, executive director of SAFER, is also co-founder of the movement.

“You don’t have to hold political office to have a voice,” Guess added.

“We’re trying to provide women with the information they need to be more confident and comfortable about the positive use of marijuana,” Tvert told Kush Magazine. “We currently have a system that only allows people to use alcohol, which obviously contributes to domestic violence, sexual assault.”

Denver lawyer, mother and activist Jessica Corry is the cofounder of the Women’s Marijuana Movement. Although she’s not a marijuana user, she strongly believes that the current cannabis laws

Tvert’s goal in helping form the woman’s movement is to give woman, including mom’s, a platform to speak about their marijuana use without being ashamed or persecuted by society.

Fools are sure to be pitied in the remake of the popular 80s TV show ‘The A Team’. The new film is slated to be a much grittier version of the original show, in order to be more in tune with today’s audience. That said people looking for a stroll down memory lane with their favorite characters are sure to get the occasional nod as well. Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson and Sharlto Copley are playing Face, Hannibal and Howling Mad respectively, with former UFC fighter Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson taking on the role of B.A. Baracus.

Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz team up for the first time since ‘Vanilla Sky’ for this action/comedy flick. Diaz plays a normal woman who gets caught up with a dangerous, if not lighthearted spy played by Cruise. The two are thrown into wild and dangerous situations where they must work together despite Diaz’s complete lack of knowledge in the field. If you are a fan of movies like ‘True Lies’ or ‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ this might be worth checking out. It releases on June 25.

The film opened on June 11.

Five massive comedy names make up the cast in this summer comedy. As kids, the five main characters were good friends and basketball team mates. When their former coach dies, the friends decide to get together with their families for a Fourth of July weekend.

Despicable Me is an animated family picture about Gru (played by Steve Carrell) a villain who plans to steal the moon. Gru leads an army of cutesy little minions, and hopes to surpass his villain rival, Vector. One day Gru meets three orphan girls who want him to become their father and he must adjust to a new life.

Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, David Spade and Rob Schneider all star in the film alongside some other equally large names.

This is sure to be a solid picture that you can take the whole family to enjoy; with morals and lessons wrapped in a slick 3D package.

One thing is for sure, if the movie turns out half as good as it’s cast’s credentials it’s sure to be a winner. It comes out on June 25.

The movie is set to come out on July 9.

The newest film vampire romance Twilight series is almost upon us. Edward, Bella and Jacob are back in this third installment of the wildly popular Twilight series. In Eclipse, Bella the leading lady, finds herself in trouble. As it turns out, when you are in a tight spot, being pretty close with a vampire and a werewolf can be pretty handy.

Leonardo DiCaprio stars in this cerebral science fiction thriller from Christopher Nolan the director of Dark Knight, Insomnia and Momento. DiCaprio plays a man who works for a company that infiltrates the human conscious as a person sleeps, while the mind is vulnerable. While there, he either retrieves secrets from that person’s mind or in the case of an inception, plants a new idea in the victim’s thoughts. This movie hits theaters on July 16.

If you’re a fan, you already know this probably, but the film debuts on June 30.

Choosing the proper fertilizer for your particular growth is as essential as choosing which type of seed you’re starting with, where you’re growing it, and how much light and water they’ll receive. Fully understanding fertilizer’s proper use (and how much of it to use) may be half the battle in your pursuit of a fruitful yield.

Whether liquid or powder form, fertilizers act as a soil conditioner, which will improve plant growth and overall health. Which fertilizer should you use? That depends on many factors, such as soil condition, climate, the type of plant, and the water being used. Different EC values can have differing effects if dosages are miscalculated, possibly leading to over or under use of the fertilizer, leading to plant care complications. Although your plants will grow, get leafy, and bud, this over or under fertilization may cause a high salt content in the substrate. Ultimately this could lead to an overdose of nutrients, causing mold in the flowering stage, reduced levels of resistance against pests, lower yields, and possibly pose a health risk from radioactive traces in the your cannabis (from phosphate). 50 kush

Fertilizing properly can make or break your growth... In order to grow large, successful marijuana plants, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need a steady supply of nutrients. The amount of nutrients or fertilizer depends on the size of the plant, the pot itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in, and the condition of the soil. Always add water when you add any nutrients or fertilizer to the soil. We recommend that you dissolve the fertilizer in the water before watering the plant. Foliar feeding, or spraying the leaves with a fertilizer solution is an ideal way of fertilizing large plants with nutrient deficiencies. Fertilizing properly can make or break your growth, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take it lightly. Something that seems so simple can potentially send your plants into a botany nightmare. Like most things, if you seek out expert advice, give some TLC, and keep things simple, you should be successful. When shopping for the right fertilizer for your particular setup do some research, and get a list of questions ready for your local Hydro expert. This will bring you closer to understanding the science involved in your project. Remember that every setup is different no matter how seemingly similar. Take the extra time to research the many different products out there for your needs - and remember the only stupid question is the one never asked.

Good luck, and happy growing!! kush 51

Car: 1968 Ford Mustang GT Fastback Movie: Bullitt Driver: Frank Bullitt ‘Bullitt’ doesn’t have a reputation for being a movie with a great story, what it has though is what is widely considered to be one of the greatest car chases in movie history. Frank Bullitt is a police lieutenant who is ordered to protect an informant. The informant is set to testify against a well known mobster. Things go wrong and there is copious gunfire, as per the usual mobster/detective thriller, but the real fun comes as McQueen’s green Mustang fastback comes head to head with a pair of bad guys who are armed with a shotgun and a Dodge Charger R/T. The chase gets off to a semi-slow start but in an instant, two of the greatest examples of American muscle cars are flying through the hills and streets of San Francisco. 54 kush

In modern films, the sound of the engine and the speed of the car are masked by loud music, and quick cut editing. Bullitt lets the cars shine as the stars that they are. No music can be found after the action starts, and in it’s place is nothing but hypnotic engine noise; the deep, powerful rhythmic growl of the Charger contrasts the high revving wail of Bullitt’s Mustang. The two drivers battle it out like men who are fighting with everything they have. These are not flawless, pro racing drivers, they slam into guardrails, other cars and each other. You can feel the desperation of the drivers as they make their mistakes, and that is partly why we love it. Up until last year, Ford included a special Bullitt edition Mustang for those who are still effected by the scenes in this 1968 classic. Such is the effect of this movie. (continued on page 56)

Car: Aston Martin DB5 Movies: Goldfinger, Thunderball, GoldenEye, The World is Not Enough, Casino Royale Driver: James Bond The DB5’s svelte curves and flowing lines are enough to give this car legend status, but what sets the DB5 apart is it’s shared screen time with the world’s coolest spy; James Bond. In GoldenEye, Pierce Brosnan’s 007 pilots the car around the European Alps, keeping pace with a beautiful woman in a more modern, and much faster Ferrari F355 GTS. In the reboot of the series, Casino Royale, Daniel Craig wins the DB5 off of a villain in a poker game, which he then, in traditional 007 fashion, immediately uses to seduce the villain’s girl.

Car: Lamborghini Miura Movie: The Italian Job (Original) Driver: Roger Beckermann

The DB5 will probably be best known for its role in the 1960’s classic, Goldfinger. In Q’s lair the audiences imagination is teased with wild technology like in-dash maps and tracking devices, machine guns behind the headlights, smoke screens and the infinitely cool passenger ejector seat.

Those of you who have seen this film may be a bit confused at this choice. The stars of the film, from an automotive standpoint, are undeniably the Minis that blast through Turin at the movie’s climax. The orange car at the beginning was only featured for a few minutes.

Sean Connery puts the car through it’s paces battling Goldfinger’s henchmen later in the film. The pretty blonde gets killed and the car ends up trashed, but the scene cemented the Aston as one of the world’s coolest cars.

But oh, what a fantastic few minutes. As the opening credits roll, the audience is treated to what amounts to many a car enthusiast’s wet dream. The Lamborghini is driven hard through the beautiful Italian Alps to the tune of Matt Monro’s ‘On Days Like These’. The Lamborghini Miura is legend on it’s own. Many car nuts regard the Miura as the world’s first road going super car, and even more give it credit for Lamborghini’s success as a company. The scene is a glimpse at the super car experience in the 60’s; A wealthy gentleman cooly tearing up asphalt in the Italian Alps. This scene exudes cool on the Miles Davis level. Right up until the Lamborghini slams into a tractor and is rolled off of a cliff by mobsters. These scenes may have been filmed for the big screen, but you can relive them on your small one today. At the time of writing all of the scenes mentioned in this article are available online on YouTube. Check them out, or for the full experience, watch the full films themselves.

by CHARLOTTE CRUZ In 2009, 45 states reported “water stressed” conditions. Water conservation is something we should think about every day and now that summer is here, it’s more important than ever to save. It is essential to life on this planet that we protect our most important resource and simple changes you can make to our daily routines are an important contribution that we can’t afford not to make. Water conservation is free and easy. If you choose to put a little money into the effort, there are extremely inexpensive options that can save you in the long run. It’s always a good idea to check in and make sure we are doing all we can to keep our water clean and protect our precious resources. #1 Washing machines and dishwashers use a lot of water and it is estimated that you can save 1,000 gallons a month by only doing full loads. If you hand wash dishes, make sure that you fill the sink rather than letting the water run as you wash. #2 Limit showers to 5 minutes or less, suggests AmericanWater.com. Purchase a low-flow showerhead for better water savings. When bathing, fill the tub only 1/3 full instead of filling it to the top. You also can save water by not flushing the toilet every time it is used. Some people might cringe, but there really is no need to flush every time. The old standard, “If it’s yellow, it’s mellow. ... If it’s brown, flush it down” is a good gauge for determining how often to flush. Don’t allow water to gush from the faucet when shaving or brushing your teeth. #3 When caring for your lawn, try to water in the morning or evening when evaporation is minimized. If you live in a climate where it rains in the summer, set out a few rain barrels and use the rainwater to water your lawn during dry spells. If you wash your dog, pick a spot in your yard that needs water. Consider planting ground cover that doesn’t need a lot of water. You can also have a plumber reroute your grey water to service your lawn if it’s allowed in your city. Make sure to monitor your sprinklers and hoses for cracks or leaks to avoid unwanted water loss. #4 Wash your car at a carwash that uses recycled water. Washing your car at home once a week can waste as much as 500 gallons a month. If your driveway gets dirty or dusty, take the opportunity to get a little exercise and sweep the driveway. #5 Low-flow aerators and showerheads can save as much as 150 gallons of water a day in an average household. They require no tools and can be purchased at any home improvement or hardware store. Tank banks are low cost, high efficiency options for the waste of water that toilets produce. You can essentially retrofit your home to save water for under $50. 60 kush

Being raised in Los Angeles during the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, it was near impossible to turn on the radio and not hear a James Taylor or Carole King song. Their music spoke of the time, with Taylor’s East Coast memoirs, and travels South - while King’s music was the voice of the booming feminist movement, and inspiring activism everywhere. Although these songs weren’t written on the west coast, they always felt like California in a strange way. Coming to the Hollywood Bowl for three nights this past month as part of their Troubadour Reunion Tour (kicked off at the famous L.A. landmark in 2009) was validation of the California connection. Putting two amazing artists together on one bill can be challenging at times. Often songs need to be omitted due to set lists, and time constraints. Choosing wisely to have no opener allowed for the JT/CK duo to share the stage from the start, and besides a fifteen minute set break, allowed them to cover most of their individual and collaborative hits with well over thirty songs. Being more familiar with JT, and having seen him in recent years, I had an idea about his concerts. They are compelling, thought provoking, and are heartwarming glimpses into one man’s life. They are amazing and true. What was most shocking and fulfilling about this concert was the grab bag of hit songs that Carole King pulled from her repertoire. Not only did she play the songs I knew of, she busted out hits from the Motown era, standards from the ‘60‘s, and even a tune covered by the Beatles….. Wow, The Beatles!!! …..At one point when she told the story of the Fab Four covering the song “Chains” (my baby’s got me locked up in chains…), my jaw dropped in amazement when I realized she had actually written it. Who knew??? 64 kush

In 1960, King co-write her first hit “Will you Still Love Me Tomorrow?“ for the Shirelles, with husband Gerry Goffin, starting a very famous string of hits written at the Brill Building in New York. Many other artists like Neil Diamond were creating simultaneously with King in this very noted period. Volleying hits back and forth, (shared or not) with JT was as comfortable as that old sweater on a rainy day. Carole at one point sidled up so close to James, lovingly putting her head on his shoulder as they sang her song, “You’ve Got A Friend”. It was almost as though they were cut from the same artistic cloth, specifically put here to create and collaborate with one another. Reuniting the same band from the 1970 Troubadour show, King continued with her barrage of hits, with favorites like “It’s too late”, “I Feel The Earth Move”, and “So Far Away”, but really brought down the house when she shocked me, and many people around me with her hit song “The Loco-Motion” (come on baby, do the loco-motion….). There were so many of these iconic songs, and it took me a few generations to realize that Carole King wrote lots of them, over 118 to be exact. This vast catalog rivaled and slightly over-shadowed that of the humble, almost demure Taylor. Although it may have been King’s stage presence and vibrance that stole the Bowl’s spotlight, the pairing of these two great singers was one to see - quite a treat. With far more credits for writing than singing, we debated over who‘s royalty check we‘d rather cash, Carole King’s or Madonna’s. Everyone agreed, they would take Carole King’s in a heartbeat. For those Coloroda KUSH readers, make sure to head over to the Pepsi Center on July 14th for this great duo. There will be no shortage of hits.

COMPLYING WITH COLORADO’S HB 10-1284 by JB WOODS AND MARY WOODS

IT HAS BEEN SAID THAT HB 10-1284 IS A LEGISLATIVE MONSTRONCITY THAT WILL BEGIN TO REGULATE THE MEDICAL MARIJUANA INDUSTRY. Even the most seasoned attorney will need a pot of coffee to get through this bill. If you haven’t read through HB 10-1284, it is composed of 78 pages of legal terminology that will define the future of the medical marijuana industry in Colorado. Jack Myers, owner Bijou Wellness Center of Colorado Springs would like further clarification of the bill due to the ambiguities that exist in various sections. He, like many dispensary owners throughout Colorado, are carefully consulting with their advisors on the best way to comply fully with this new law. As of this date, Governor Ritter has not signed it into law. All bets from the medical marijuana community indicate that he will sign it. Whether you feel good, bad or indifferent about it, the industry will have to comply with its many requirements or risk going out of business. In the last year, Colorado has seen possibly over 1,000 dispensaries open. The State of Colorado has questioned if dispensaries are even legal. If there is something good about HB 10-1284, it will recognize dispensaries as legitimate entities—now called “centers”—for distributing medical marijuana to patients. This bill has been viewed as being crafted by law enforcement and not about the rights of patients. John Amerson of 3 Buds Organics believes the majority of the bill is okay for the industry, but patients will be impacted. They will see it from dispensaries hav-

ing to close due to fees, regulation and ordinances that are being imposed. The Department of Revenue is creating the State Licensing Authority that will be responsible for all aspects of the medical marijuana industry. This is the same department that Senator Romer said would employ “auditors with guns” to manage any misbehavior. We didn’t find this terminology within HB 10-1284, but it does state that medical marijuana enforcement investigators are Peace Officers.

If HB 10-1284 was a script for a movie, the medical marijuana bakeries and infused product manufacturers just received starring roles.

Generally speaking, dispensary owners have always wanted to follow laws and regulations. Austin Martinson of Karmceuticals believes it is good to have some regulation, but after the bill goes into effect “this is ultimately about taking care of our patients and providing them the relief they need from pain. “ The medical marijuana industry has always and will need to continue to focus on the needs of patients, but prior to HB 10-1284 the rules were never clearly defined until now. There are 4 types of licenses that will be issued by the State Licensing Authority: MEDICAL MARIJUANA CENTER LICENSE The medical marijuana community adopted the term “medical marijuana dispensary.” For reasons unknown, the dispensary moniker has now been replaced with “center.” Medical Marijuana Center, as defined by HB 10-1284, is a “person” licensed to operate a business to sell medical marijuana to registered patients or primary caregivers. The definition of person includes partnership, association, Limited Liability Company, corporation etc.

MEDICAL MARIJUANA-INFUSED PRODUCTS / MANUFACTURING LICENSE If HB 10-1284 was a script for a movie, the medical marijuana bakeries and infused product manufacturers just received starring roles. HB 10-1284 specifically recognizes this segment of the industry. Dazy’s of Boulder Colorado who produces a line of high quality edible products, has been preparing for HB 10-1284 well in advance of the bill being signed into law. They have been work-

ing with several medical marijuana attorneys to help them comply and navigate through the requirements of the bill. They believe HB 10-1284 will help everyone involved in the industry, but they recognize there are gray areas that must be sorted out, such as vertical integration for growing medical marijuana. “The challenge for some people in our industry is that some are great retailers, but might be horrible at growing medicine” said a Dazy’s representative who chose to remain anonymous. HB 10-1284 is requiring owners to be good at both. Bakeries and edible manufacturers are defined as producers of products infused with medical marijuana which are intended for consumption other than smoking. This would include edible products, ointments, and tinctures. This group will now have their own Medical Marijuana Infused Products Manufacturing License to hang on their wall. They will need to occupy a commercial space and use equipment exclusively for the production of medical marijuana infused products. These manufacturers can sell to any medical marijuana center, but are limited to obtaining their supply of medical marijuana from only 5 medical marijuana centers. OPTIONAL PREMISES CULTIVATION LICENSE Prior to HB 10-1284, the medical marijuana grower was a caregiver for all intended purposes. Growers must now come out from under the shadows, otherwise they will no longer exist legally. The bill has created a separate license for growing medical marijuana called the Optional Premises Cultivation License. It is important to know that only Medical Marijuana Centers or Medical Marijuana Infused Products (Bakery) may have an optional premise cultivation license. Page 65 of the bill specifically states:

Limit of cultivation of medical marijuana: Only registered patients, licensed primary caregivers, medical marijuana infused products manufacturing operations with an optional premises cultivation license, and licensed medical marijuana centers with optional premises cultivation licenses may cultivate medical marijuana. This requirement has created a panic amongst growers, forcing them to form alliances quickly with medical marijuana centers. Laurel Alterman of Altermeds in Louisville Colorado, will continue to align her dispensary with high quality growers, as she (continued on page 68)

recognizes her personal strength is providing excellent care to her patients. Growing medical marijuana is a skill that can take years to master. Alliances between growers and dispensary centers might be formed as limited liability entities such as partnerships or LLC’s. A recent meeting hosted by the Cannabis Therapy Institute and Medical Marijuana Business Alliance had 10 attorneys discussing this specific issue. Medical marijuana attorney Danyel Joffe recommended standardized industry forms that could serve as a template to form these contractual relationships. She further mentions that centers and growers will need to get “married.” This contract will serve as their marriage certificate.

OCCUPATIONAL LICENSE This license is for anyone who works within or is involved in a medical marijuana business. It is for owners, managers, operators, employees, contractors and other support staff that work at the various licensed premises. This would involve a criminal history record check as required by the State Licensing Authority. There are many reasons for being denied an Occupational License. Some of the reasons for denial include being under the age of 21, lack of moral character, a felony conviction involving drugs, and police officers who wish to own or work at a medical marijuana business. IMPORTANT DATES YOU MUST REMEMBER There are numerous dates that medical marijuana businesses must comply with in order to continue their operations. If you own an existing and established Medical Marijuana Center or Bakery you may disregard the July 1, 2010 deadline, assuming that you lease or own commercial space and are remitting sales taxes. The July

1st deadline affects anyone wishing to open a medical marijuana center or bakery. You need to apply to the local government to operate an approved business. The bill doesn’t require anything beyond the application to be compliant. The next major deadline is August 1, 2010. The State Licensing Authority will provide forms to be completed and a fee must be paid by this date. Failure to meet this deadline could result in criminal penalties and “prima-facie” evidence of unsatisfactory character, record, and reputation for any future application for license. In other words, you won’t have any future opportunity to obtain a license for a medical marijuana center or infused products manufacturer. The final deadline is September 1, 2010 which requires certification that you are cultivating 70 percent of your medicine. At this point, it is uncertain as to what is required to meet this stipulation. Recently, Biocare of Denver Colorado noticed “orphaned” patients assigning them as their primary caregiver. Could this be a sign of what is to come in the medical marijuana industry in Colorado? Maybe dispensaries and caregivers have already declared enough is enough and Senator Romer was correct that 50 percent of the industry will close. For the past 14 years, the medical marijuana industry in California has seen their share of regulation. They have proven to be a resilient industry with a November ballot to legalize it. That resiliency can certainly be duplicated in Colorado. This will require a concerted effort and action by centers, growers, patients and affiliated business to collaborate.

i consider myself an expert on pizza, but before i give you my totally biased opinions about who serves the best pie, let me tell you about my criteria. i don’t do deep dish. i think pizza crust should be thin; if i wanted to eat a loaf of bread, i would. sauce shouldn’t be overwhelmingly anything. there is a delicate balance of spices in a good sauce that lacks in most chain delivery type establishments. i don’t really care if they deliver, although it’s nice, but i’ll go anywhere for an authentic slice of good pizza. i don’t care if they serve booze or if their salads are made with organic greens. this is pizza, people, and according to my expert wisdom, here are the best places to find it.

ENZO’S END 3424 e colfax ave / 303.355.4700 The first thing to remember about Enzo’s is that they are closed on Tuesdays. This is vital information because when you crave Enzo’s nothing else will substitute, so order 2 on Monday if you’re in fear of a Tuesday craving. Enzo’s has perfect crust and I don’t toss that word around. It’s perfect. It’s thin, crunchy and has just the right amount of chewy in the middle. The sauce is as good as any place

I love in Brooklyn and the ingredients are fresh and plentiful. Enzo’s is attached to the PS Lounge, which is also good information since Enzo’s doesn’t serve alcohol. They deliver, which is the best news ever if you live in the area, and have a great salad selection if you’re feeling the need for greens. Don’t wait another minute before trying Enzo’s.

COSMO’S 1325 broadway st suite 108 / 303.477.3278 I’m giving Cosmo’s some love for a couple of different reasons other than just serving a great thin-crust pie, which they do. What is great about Cosmo’s is that they deliver and are open until 3 a.m. for the college crowd. Surprisingly though, they are rarely packed since a lot of people just pop in for a huge slice and take it away, so it’s a good place to dine in. The other thing that stands out about Cosmo’s is the atmosphere. If you’re out of college, in college or thinking about being in college, there’s nothing like a University pizza joint to immerse you in the scene. Plus, for 3 bucks, you can get a slice that will keep you full for hours, or until your next study break.

4-wheeling in Colorado is one of the BEST ways to enjoy everything this state has to offer... for five months out of the year.. More importantly, 4-wheeling may actually be the only way to get away from the crowds of the weekend day-trippers. Anyone who’s been along for a ride with a novice rock crawler, knows that all you need is a high clearance vehicle and a nice day to enjoy some off road adventuring. That’s the problem, though. It seems that everyone in Colorado has an SUV. A bigger problem still is that most weekend warriors don’t have the tricked out rides that they think they have. As a result, many moderately difficult 4-wheel trails will get backed up due to incompetents behind the wheels of inappropriate vehicles. A traffic jam on an off-road trail... can you imagine that? People looking to get away from those posers without 78 kush

Get a truck that was meant for rock crawling. If it doesn’t say Toyota, Jeep, or Land Rover on the side... don’t even think about it. Even a Hummer has a tough time around here, as most of these trails were blazed by vintage Jeeps sporting a 80” wide wheelbase. The Hummer’s wheelbase is closer to 130 inches wide. Jeep, Toyota, and Land Rover have built modest off-road machines based on a short, stout, but agile chassis. Many off-road enthusiasts will be quick to tell you that the truck with the smallest footprint will perform best in the rocky terrain of Colorado. As long as vehicle height isn’t excessive (40”+ tires and lifts), a shorter wheelbase will keep your vehicle above the rocks. This sure beats the alternative of getting high centered on jagged rocks. Most skid plates are not adequate protection from such hazards. Let’s look at things realistically. If you want to take your Suburban off-road, keep some things in mind. Obstacles in excess of 10” are common on old Jeep trails. Even if that SUV has 4 wheel drive, the 6-8” ground clearance was likely designed for city use. That little ground clearance will get you nothing but ruined running boards, dented differentials, and gashed up gas tanks... fun. I guess you could dump a chunk of change into that grocery getter with big

tires, lift kits, and suspension upgrades. Although, I’m not sure that a monster truck will make grocery shopping any easier. You don’t have to spend more than $10K to get into a truck with any off road potential. Acquiring a used off road vehicle that has 4 wheel drive, 9” plus ground clearance, and a short wheelbase is the best way to start putting together your rock crawler. Land Rovers are expensive, Jeeps are great if you like to fix things (read everything), and there are hundreds of used Toyota trucks still running in the area. As Toyotas are cost effective and reliable, find one with low miles or drop a new motor in your favorite chassis generation and get to work. You’ll need to address ground clearance. Lose those running boards, those are the first things to get trashed on the trail. Lift kits are a simple way to eliminate ground clearance issues. You should also try running on bigger rubber. 30” and greater tires with an aggressive All-Terrain or Mud-Terrain tread. Bigger tires can often be enough to solve minor ground clearance issues. Suspension upgrades like bigger shocks or springs will smooth out your ride and increase ground clearance. Another necessary improvement would be to install a reinforced front bumper/grill along with a remote controlled winch. Not if, but when you need assistance, a heavy bumper and winch could save

your day. Remote control, you say? This feature would come in very handy if you were alone requiring assistance. That, and it keeps you from having to winch out while standing knee deep in the snow or mud. That all might sound excessive, but think about the proposition of one of your buddies having to pull your stuck rig out of some tight spot without the proper gear. That’s gonna end well. Do not trust that YOUR buddies are prepared! What if you’re alone, showing your someone special a good time? Without the appropriate tools, you could be stuck... for a while. That won’t happen now... you’re informed, you’re geared up, and ready to roll. But where? There are many good 4-wheeling maps and books available at sporting goods stores. Even Google Earth can be a fun way to figure out where you’re headed once you decide on an area. But that would require even more reading and research. Please... just drive west. Pick a canyon. More often than not, unmarked dirt roads end up as narrow jeep trails giving access to secluded mountain lakes, trails and camping spots known only by other adventurers bound only by confidence and gear. Just make sure that you’re NOT on private property. This is still Colorado. You wouldn’t want to end up on the wrong end of a shotgun held by an extra from the set of Deliverance. kush 79

The album features their latest band addition, Gael Rakotondrabe, and their live show entails many facets that will be sure to entertain all the freaky folks. www.cocorosieland.com

CAGE THE ELEPHANT 6.22.10 @ Black Sheep (Colorado Springs) Cage The Elephant’s self-titled debut album was released in 2008 and featured the single “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked”, which lead singer Matt Schultz described as being “about realizing that everyone’s got a back-story and that essentially we’re all the same”. Since then they’ve been touring extensively with a live show that’s been called raucous and “exhilarating, 100 mph stuff ” by NME. With no word on a follow up album, your best chance to get a taste of these Kentucky-bred boys is this June 22nd @ Black Sheep. www.cagetheelephant.com

CHICAGO & THE DOOBIE BROTHERS 6.23.10 @ Comfort Dental Amphitheater (Englewood) The Doobie Brothers and Chicago hit the road together to create an American rock powerhouse concert. The two have combined to sell over 150 million albums since the 1970s and are still at it. Chicago has had 22 Gold, 18 Platinum, and 8 Multi-Platinum albums over that time period, and the Doobie Brothers have had their fair share of big hits. Get ready to sing-along and listen to the music. www.chicagotheband.com, www.doobiebros.com

MATES OF STATE 6.26.10 @ Bluebird Theater (Denver) Mates of State are a lovely little indie pop rock group led by the wedded Kori Gardner & Jason Hammel. The most recent work from these Kansas natives, Crushes (The Covers Mixtape), includes covers of Nick Cave, Fleetwood Mac, Death Cab for Cutie, The Mars Volta, & many more. Their originals are delightful, and when you throw in a set likely ridden with covers you’re in for a wonderful concert @ the Bluebird. www.matesofstate.com

TOOL 6.28.10, 6.29.10 @ Red Rocks Amphitheater (Morisson) Tool is one of those special live music experiences that is hard to forget. The artsy prog-rockers have been selling out festivals and arenas, sending fans home full of adrenaline since they formed in the early 90’s. Still relevant 20 years later, Maynard James Keenan & company are guaranteed to keep things interesting and inspired, as always. This is quality, real rock music that dumps on bands like Nickelback or Daughtry. www.toolband.com

Left: The Doobie Brothers, Mates of State Right from Top: Cage the Elephant, Chicago, Kings of Leon, Cocorosie, TOOL logo & The Hold Steady 82 kush

THE HOLD STEADY 7.7.10 @ Ogden Theater (Denver) The Hold Steady’s lead singer Craig Finn has an incredibly distinct, raspy singing voice that at times sounds eerily similar to The Boss, Bruce Springsteen. Some may deem this is blasphemy, but after a quick listen those will have to concede that it’s a valid comparison. The Brooklyn based indie rockers have a new album out this year entitled Heaven Is Whenever, and come to Denver in support of the fresh tunes. www.theholdsteady.net

ARIEL PINK’S HAUNTED GRAFFITI 7.17.10 @ Bluebird Theater (Denver) Ariel Pink has been called lo-fi, freak folk, avantgarde, and psychedelic pop, just to name a few. Whatever the hell you call his music, it sounds like it was recorded back in the 50’s or 60’s. Chances are the band’s live performance will sound significantly crisper than what you’ll here off of their latest album, Before Today. Check out this rising Angelino star before he’s too big to play more intimate shows like this. www.myspace.com/arielpink

KINGS OF LEON 7.20.10 @ Comfort Dental Amphitheater (Englewood) Kings of Leon are a rock ‘n’ roll band in the purest sense. They’ll make you want to put on a leather jacket, throw some grease in your hair, hop on a Harley, and cruise around looking for chicks with a flask of whiskey in tow. They roll into Colorado on this lovely July evening and you should too... without the wannabe rocker accessories. www.kingsofleon.com

by AUDREY BURNS White water rafting season has just begun and its time to book a trip on the river before the prime time for adventure passes. Most companies open in April and run until September but they all believe that the best time for rafting is June through August. The difficulty of certain sections and rivers is determined by a standard rating called class. Class two are regular and easy waves, class three involves moderately difficult rapids with irregular waves that requires an intermediate level of rafting, class four includes difficult, intense and powerful rapids that require precise movement, and class five rapids are extremely difficult as they generally involve continuous, large waves with a steep gradient. 88 kush

Arkansas River: Another spot for river rafting is the classic Arkansas River, considered to be Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite rafting spot. The first section is Brown Canyon, a stretch perfect for all ages and levels of experience, packed with well-known class three rapids and a spectacular scenery of snow capped peaks. Another section is the Granite Gorge, a beautiful and remote stretch great for those looking for an introduction to white water rafting. The Numbers is a section guaranteed for thrills as it has advanced class three and four rapids, steep drops, and whitewater in between rapids. The most advanced section of the Arkansas River is Pine Creek, which houses the most continuous rapids in the state. This is probably the most versatile river as companies offer trips as short as 1/3 of a day to trips as long as 6 days.

Colorado River: The Colorado River offers two extremes: scenic floating perfect for a family, and hardcore rapids for serious adventurers only. The former involves class two, gently flowing water and few small rapids perfect for all ages and beginners. Inflatable kayaks are available on this stretch for those wanting a more individualist approach, as you would be paddling yourself exclusively. The latter is a stretch in Gore Canyon that serves as the ultimate rafting experience with advanced class 5 rapids, the steepest gradient drop per mile in the country and a vertical waterfall in the heart of the canyon, earning it the reputation of being the hardest whitewater commercially run in Colorado.

Blue River: Blue River is just north of Silverthorne and it offers a perfect mixture of all rafting has to offer. Blue River is perfect for first timers looking for a shorter adventure as it has a perfect mix of class two to three rapids and the beautiful scenery of the Gore Range Mountains.

Clear Creek: Clear Creek, only 30 minutes from Denver, is a river that offers something for everybody. One section is great for beginners, but packed with eleven class three rapids ensured to keep the trip from being a snooze fest. Another section is perfect for those in the intermediate to advanced level as it is steep, technical, packed with class three and four rapids, and guaranteed to keep your paddle moving. Finally, there is a section meant for serious paddlers only with class four and five rapids, making what some would call one of the most continuous sections of whitewater in Colorado.

There are hundreds of rafting companies in Colorado, but there are a few that stand out. Ava (coloradorafting.net) has a really nice, friendly, interactive website that really helps you to pick the right trip and they offer free equipment, riverside food, wetsuits, and sleeping pads for overnight trips. Buffalo Joes (buffalojoe.com) serves riverside food, offers group discounts and has more flexibility for customizing, but some gear they require you rent. Rock Gardens Rafting (rockgardens.com) operates exclusively in Glenwood Canyon, but they offer inflatable kayaks and river tubes along with ordinary rafts, provide free transportation to and from hotels, and offer purchasable professional photographs of your trip. kush 89

It’s June and the soon-to-be AllStars are starting to shine and the teams are starting to show what they’re made of. There are already some surprises and talks of trades are starting to swarm around the water cooler. Baseball season is in full swing and fans are ready for their teams to get hot. For the avid fan, and I definitely include myself in that group, every game is important and we rarely if ever miss a broadcast. Unfortunately, teams get days off and on those dark days, what is 90 kush

a baseball fan to do to satisfy the need for shut-outs and deep flies? I wouldn’t dream of watching another team’s game, so I go to the DVD player and pop in a baseball flick. On my teams last off day, I made a mental compilation of my favorite movies about America’s pastime. My top 10 are here for you to argue. No matter what you decide about my choices, each one of these films is worth seeing and even owning. (continued on page 92)

kush 91

Someday people will walk down the street and say, “I saw The Natural. It is the best there ever was.” Roy Hobbs may be the best fictional baseball player there ever was and Robert Redford’s portrayal of the slugger is legendary. The drama overshadows the baseball but with the Randy Newman soundtrack and the blood soaked shirt, it’s homerun every time.

This is my sentimental favorite because of the real life story of Jim Morris, the high school science teacher who saw his major league dream realized on a dare and an alignment of stars. Dennis Quaid plays Morris and does so with such believability as a pitcher that you wonder what his radar gun would register. With the plot of the laboring Owls ( high school team Morris coached) making it to district and the aging teacher tossing 97MPH fastballs with no good explanation, the Rookie is walk off.

Tatum O’ Neil and Robert Matthau won my heart as a small child and never lost it. These Bears are the quintessential misfits that all misfits aspire to. Beer drinking manager, foul mouthed kids and the savior Kelly smoking on his motorcycle makes the Bad News Bears a 3-2 come from behind win in the bottom of the 9th.

This was Geena Davis’s finest hour for sure. The best baseball movies are the true stories and the All American Girls Baseball League that inspired Penny Marshall’s tale of the women who got the chance to pay pro ball during wartime is a gem. With the exception of the stupid song and singing in the clubhouse, this movie is near perfect and it’s my favorite Tom Hanks performance of all time. Penny Marshall’s no hitter.

I saw this movie for the first time about 2 years ago and it quickly made my list of favorites. This is Billy Crystal’s labor of love and his admiration for the game translates well to the script and the screen. The story is of the 1961 Yankees and Roger Maris and Mickey Mantel’s race to beat Babe Ruth’s single season home run record. The film digs into the off the field lives of both Mantel and Maris and shows the human side of two of baseball’s best all-time players. A home stand sweep. *Mark McGuire should be forced to watch this movie daily.

I laughed, laughed and then laughed some more at Albert Brook’s portrayal of a Yankee’s scout who is banished to Mexico as punishment for a bad signing. He discovers Steve Nebraska, a pitcher who blows away hitters with a 100MPH fastball and hits like Ty Cobb. Once a Yankee, Nebraska shows signs of emotional 92 kush

instability and starts seeing a shrink named Dr. H. Aaron (Dianne Weist). A laugher from moment one.

“If you build it, they will come” has become a national motto. The fantasy story of the Iowa farmer’s journey to uncover secret messages that lead to the return of Shoeless Joe Jackson and other players including Ray Kinsella’s father is inspiring and totally masterful fantasy. The best farm team in the league.

Kevin Costner is Mr. Baseball Movie and this may be the most authentic baseball movie on the list. The minor leagues are a strange and wonderful place that is portrayed in its real and brutal light. The romance between Costner and Sarandon is touching and not overstated. Tim Robbins is the perfect Rook and Costner plays the part with true heart and believability. A triple play.

You’re killing me, Smalls! These neighborhood kids may be in second place behind the Bad News Bears, but the charm of this movie is the group of friends who spend a summer playing ball and creating adventure after adventure. Be a kid for a couple of hours and realize how many great lines come from this movie. Rookie of the Year every year.

Kevin Costner plays a washed up, over the hill fictional pitcher, Billy Chapel, for the Detroit Tigers, about to pitch the last game of his career. As he embarks on the journey of his last game, which is apparently going to be a “Perfect Game,” he flashes back on his illustrious career and his personal love battle with his on again off again girlfriend, Jane Aubrey, played by Kelly Preston. John C. Reilly, the catcher and his best friend and team mate, craft the perfect game to create a perfect baseball movie.

by JAY EVANS This month we take a look at the inception of something great, innovative, and very important in so many of our lives - video games. In June of 1972, the brilliant minds of Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney created Atari Inc., and with a simple Tennis game named Pong, opened the rabbit’s hole to creative minds of many different cultures, and generations. I think it was the Hanukkah of 1975.…. We had to wait eight long days to open our big gift, but my brother and I were handsomely rewarded with an Atari Pong game system. This dinosaur in the world of “gaming”, (which wasn’t even a term then) was a marvel to be seen. It came with only the one game, as the idea of cartridges weren’t introduced until the1980 version of the Atari 2600. Imagine playing Tennis, with a video paddle, that you could actually control - on the T.V.!!!!! As a six year old, this was about the greatest thing since the hand break was added to the Big Wheel. Life was pretty good in the ‘70’s. As Big Wheels turned to BMX, so did the advancements of video games, and the advent of the local arcade. With stand up machines, and sit down table-tops, Atari was making most of the favorites at the time, like Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Frogger, Lunar Lander, Missile Command, Centipede, and the classic, Asteroids. Anyone growing up in the Valley during the 80’s remembers 20 Grand Palace, the arcade featured in the movie War Games, or the now closed Malibu Grand Prix. For adolescents and adults alike, these places provided an escape from the regular world. A place where one could Joust on top of a huge flying ostrich, or go to battle on the Frontline, or 94 kush

capture laser beams, in the future of Tron. Even for those casually involved, video games have been a great source of entertainment since the beginning, and the trend seems to be growing. As joysticks and toggle switch triggers have advanced, so has the world of video games. Now that the virtual world they spoke of is here, games like Resident Evil, Grand Theft Auto, Halo, and Call Of Duty are leading the pack. With so many start up electronic game companies on the market, and industry numbers exceeding those of the film industry, it seems that the creators of Atari were on to something. Whatever success the industry has seen, rests on the shoulders of these pioneers. So whether it’s paddles and popsicle sticks, or virtual game rooms with just you and your Sheldon Black Bong as protection, let’s remember a time gone by. A bit more innocent, and a lot less bloody - at least virtually….

there are times and places that we learn about, read about, see photographs and depictions of in film, but can we really ever understand the Old West? As Coloradans, a lot of us know people with ranches and we do a lot of outdoorsy things, but the real Old West is far from our lattes and Smartphones. 98 kush

If you have ever been to Black Hawk or Central City, there is a charm in the way that the buildings were all designed to take us back to the days of saloons with swinging doors and shootouts on dusty streets. Nearly every small town in Colorado has a bar that if you have a couple of beers, you can settle into the pace and swill of cowboy life. But the Old West is more than saloon girls and piano players with armbands. The Old West was commerce; it was mining, ranching and a whole lot of surviving our seasons. No place in Colorado encompasses the Old West the

way Leadville does. At 10,152 feet, Leadville is a piece of our history that amazes the mind and charms the soul. The road to Leadville is no easy trek, even by today’s modern methods. Imagine crossing Independence Pass in winter, circa 1800, on horseback with mining supplies and a family. Thousands of people did just that during the Colorado mining boom. The rich history of America’s highest incorporated city is a tale that has been told in books, films and song. The Unsinkable Molly Brown was married in the church and Buffalo Bill moved to Leadville after the shooting at OK Coral. Bill famously died of pneumonia here shortly before his 71st birthday. The small town has seen its share of riches and times of struggle. In the 1980s, the town’s last working mine closed and sent the region into a tailspin recession, nearly making Leadville a ghost town. Today the city survives on its tourism and outdoor recreation industries. Since Independence Pass opens just after Memorial Day, it’s a great time to pack up the car and explore one of America’s most storied mining towns. With its 70 square blocks of Victorian architecture, Leadville is the kind of getaway where time stands still. The quaintness of the downtown and the adjacent mining territory are worth

spending time exploring. One of the most famous buildings is the Tabor Opera House, which celebrated its 130th anniversary in 2009. If you go on a weekend, they host a Tabor Tea every Sunday where you can enjoy a tour and high tea, as it was served in the boom days. The Leadville Historic District is a National Historic Landmark District that includes the Tabor Grant Hotel, St. George’s Church, Annunciation Church, Tabor Opera House, City Hall, Healy House, Dexter Cabin, Engelbach House, and Tabor House, as well as mining structures and small homes. Leadville and Twin Lakes offer plenty to do in the summertime. Camping at the top of the Rockies is nothing short of spectacular. Leadville does get cold at night year round, so pack accordingly. Popular activities include fishing, horseback riding, hiking and 4-wheeling (available for rent in town), mountain biking and golf. Visit www.leadville.com for a list of outfitters and camping information. Strike it rich this summer with a visit to the Old West!

KUSH: How would you describe your music? LM: Our music has been defined as “good get-high music” by legions of fans worldwide. Our music is for the people, the patients, the growers, the care-givers, the hemp believers, as well as the smokers and the tokers around the globe. Our ideology toward the plant has come a long way from our earlier music. The change was inspired by Eddy Lepp and Jack Herer the first time we went to Amsterdam for the Cannabis Cup. KUSH: What’s been the most challenging part in keeping your band alive? LM: The name “Los Marijuanos” has been the greatest challenge for the band. A lot of respectable venues wouldn’t book us, radio stations wouldn’t play us, magazines wouldn’t cover us just because the name was so similar to the word marijuana. The name and the logo with the leaf is just too inyour-face for a lot of people; especially when we were starting out. Even my own family was worried about the name. But, I never thought of changing it; it is who we are and what we represent.

KUSH: How do you feel about the regulation of medical marijuana? LM: I am in full support of medical marijuana in all states. Any measure that helps free the weed and legitimizes it for medical use is good to me. I think it’s a good place to start, but I am also in support of full legalization for everyone. As it states in the Bible, “God put every plant on this planet for us to use,” and if you look at the history of the plant, it has been a sacrament of religion and people for ages. Only recently has it been outlawed.

KUSH: What band has had the most influence on you and your bandmates? LM: Queen -- Freddy Mercury is one of my favorite vocalists ever. Bands like the Rolling Stones, The Eagles, all the classic rock and R&B artists (too many to name). Old-school hip-hop artists, like Public Enemy, RUN DMC, Total Devastation. As far as in the Marijuana Freedom Fighters, Eddy Lepp, Jack Herer, Brett Bogue, Marc Emery, Rick Simpson, Steve Hager, Tommy Chong and last, but not least, my boys from Cypress Hill. If it wasn’t for them opening the door, Los Marijuanos would have never been. Much love to B-Real and the homies, and everyone who fights to free the plant. 104 kush

KUSH: How many albums does Los Marijuanos have? LM: Puro Plieto (1999), The Smoke Out (2001), Marijuanos 4 Life (2004), 23 Biggest Tokes Greatest Hits Album (2005), Donde Esta’ mi Feria? (2007), Trippin on Tricombs (2010). KUSH: What’s next for your band? LM: Putting in mad work, my nugget. I just put the final touches on the new “Trippin’ on Tricombs” CD, set to drop in fall of 2010. Then we are playing shows in support of the new release. I got something really cool lined up with Apothecary Travel and Green House: We are hiding a “GREEN TICKET” in the new album. One lucky fan who finds the “GREEN TICKET” will win a trip to smoke and party with Los Marijuanos at the Cannabis Cup 2010 in Amsterdam, a free Zephyr Ion Vaporizer, 300 euros spending money and more! We will be performing at Tacoma Hempfest, the first Treating Yourself Expo in Toronto with the World’s Largest Vapor Dome, Seattle Hempfest, Portland Hempstalk, Detroit Hemp and Cannabis Expo on Halloween, and then back to Amsterdam for the 23rd annual Cannabis Cup! For current tour schedule, you can check us out on Myspace, Facebook or our websites: losmarijuanos4life.com or losmarijuanosmusic.com. KUSH: What else would you like our readers to know? LM: Please take the time to do your research on the marijuana movement. We need supporters to step out of the closet, register to vote, write your government officials, and make your voice known and where you stand on this movement. Innocent people are being imprisoned, families are being destroyed all for the use of a plant. We need to stop this madness and not stand for them to herd us in prison like cattle. Stand up. Free Eddy Lepp, free Marc Emery, help Rick Simpson. The time for change is now. Support the movement today.

I have to admit when I first took on this story I thought it was going to be just a product review about a cool (or letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s say healthier) way to medicate. Wow was I wrong. Well not about the fact that the Magic Flight Vaporizer is a cool and healthier way to utilize medical cannabis, but about the bigger picture behind it. Fast forward, and the staff at Magic-Flight tell me about how to wrap 20 years of wood-working, engineering, philosophy, and metaphysics into a start-up MMJ venture. Magic flight is not just another vaporizer success story. I think they are really on to something. As they tell it, the backbone of Magic Flightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success is the result of three deep but succinct statements:

Love is that which enables choice; Love is always stronger then fear; and Always choose on the basis of love. These three sentences are embedded on the bottom of every vaporizer Magic Flight produces. Yes it is a vaporizer that works phenomenally well, is easy to use, compact, portable and convenient. But these attributes are not the bragging rights Magic Flight is proud of. While the results of the thousands of hours that went into the engineering feat is impressive, even greater consideration has been given to company operations and especially customer service and warranties. Even the company founder says that when he decided to move forward with this endeavor, that he made a conscientious decision to run his company the same way he chooses to live his life. It is all summed up on the bottom of each Magic Flight Vaporizer. www.magic-flight.com

POLITICAL ROUNDUP by LISA FAYE

Federal Lawmakers

TRYING TO ASSIST MEDICAL MARIJUANA DISPENSARIES

As reported in late May by Bloomberg Business Week, 15 Federal lawmakers led by U.S. Representative Barney Frank are trying to get banks to recognize that medical marijuana clinics are legitimate and lawful businesses. These lawmakers are trying to get the Treasury Department to set rules that will encourage banks to provide financial services to these businesses. “Legitimate state-legal businesses are being denied access to banking services, which does not serve the public interest,” the lawmakers said in a May 20 letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner that was distributed today by Americans for Safe Access, a patient-advocacy group. Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat and chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, signed the letter with 12 Democrats and two Republicans. Colorado’s Representative Jared Polis (D), asks the Treasury to issue “formal written guidance” assuring banks they won’t be targeted for doing businesses with companies that distribute medical marijuana. Lenders including Bank of America, Wells Fargo and other U.S. lenders have stopped opening new accounts for vendors that provide medical marijuana because cannabis consumption and distribution are illegal under federal law. Frank believes that if states have passed laws that have made medical marijuana a legal business that the U.S. Treasury should not tell banks “they can’t service them the way they would service any other business.” This is a state matter, according to Frank and his fellow lawmakers. Frank and Ron Paul are co-sponsors of a bill that would repeal the federal law that makes marijuana use a crime and let states decide whether to legalize it. States that do so then would be able to collect sales tax on marijuana, Frank said. According to studies conducted by the California State Board of Equalization, Californians use over 1 million pounds of marijuana each year. A sales tax of $50 per ounce could generate $1.38 billion in annual revenue for the state, according to an estimate from the board. According to Polis, denying financial services to medical marijuana dispensaries creates “an increased risk to public safety with potential theft or robbery that any cash-only or cash-reliant business faces” and makes it harder for vendors “to accurately account for tax liability.” Colorado dispensaries are constantly being denied credit card accounts or have their banks turning them down for checking and credit-card vending accounts because banks are worried about running afoul of anti-money-laundering and asset-forfeiture laws

according to Polis. One of the biggest problems currently facing these businesses is the banking and credit issue. According to Mary Eshet, a spokesperson for Wells Fargo, she has stated that Wells continues to provide services to dispensaries that were customers, but that Wells has a policy to stop taking on new medical marijuana businesses. “Since Wells Fargo is a national bank, we developed our policy in alignment with the federal law and opted not to open new accounts with medical marijuana dispensaries,” according to Ms. Eshet. According to Bank of America’s spokesperson, Shirley Norton, the position of the biggest U.S. lender, is that there is “no choice” other than to avoid doing business with medical marijuana dispensaries as long as the federal government outlaws it. Bank of America considers this a legal decision, not a moral decision. The decision by big banks to shun an industry that could generate $100 billion in annual sales has created a void and prompted marijuana businesses to search for alternative financial services providers, according to Allen St. Pierre, executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, or NORML, based in Washington. According to St. Pierre, “The scramble is definitely afoot right now for procuring not only competent services, but also fairly priced ones,” and that, “there’s a number of folks on the front range who are now doing business with community banks, cooperatives and credit unions.”
