san diego’s premier cannabis lifestyle magazine

nless you have been asleep under a rock for the past few months, every day in the news we hear something about marijuana, medical marijuana, taxing marijuana and making it legal and the battle between the cities, dispensaries, federal law and the like. Kush Magazine tries to filter through the information and keep our readers up to date on pertinent marijuana info. With the first ever legalization measure on the California ballot this November, debates have begun as to the benefits or detriments to the new initiative. What does all of this mean for medical marijuana patients? Many of your favorite dispensaries are tired of the battle and sometimes are forced to close down, or have to move. So that’s where Kush Magazine and dailybuds.com can assist. Kush Magazine and dailybuds.com has compiled the most comprehensive list of medical marijuana centers (see pages 94-97 of this issue), doctors and provides information to its readers and online members on “everything cannabis.” Our directory is constantly being updated to add any new businesses that our readers are searching for. This should provide medical marijuana users with the assurance that as dispensaries move or change names, this information will be updated by Kush and dailybuds.com.

Many of your favorite dispensaries are tired of the battle and sometimes are forced to close down, or have to move.

Swimming is one of the best natural forms of exercise that

we can get. If you’re like most kids, you could stay in the pool for hours on a summer afternoon. If you’re an adult who doesn’t find yourself splashing around, diving for rings or challenging your buddies to a cannonball contest, just getting in the pool again is a great start to a complete physical wellness routine. Swimmers come in all shapes and sizes, and like just a few other sports, you can do it from a very young age well into your senior years. Lap swimming is a great way to get an aerobic workout in without putting any pressure on your bones and joints. Not only do you get your heart rate going, but the stretching and fluid motion of a swim stroke is essentially underwater yoga. Your joints, muscles and tendons get the opportunity to extend and stretch, giving you improved flexibility and better posture. An Olympic-sized pool runs 25 or 50 meters in length. If your neighborhood pool’s lap lanes are 25 meters (most are), 33 laps or 66 lengths equals a mile. Here are a few comparisons of calories burned doing different exercises. In this sample, our athlete weighs 150 lbs. A mile of moderate swimming burn 310 calories while increasing heart rate, improving lung health as well as strength and flexibility. 45 minutes of jogging burns 358 calories, improves cardiovascular health, muscle tone and endurance. Pounding the pavement can put pressure on joints, which can become painful. 45 minutes of low- impact aerobics burns 310 calories and 45 minutes of housework burns about 150. Along with creating strength and cardiovascular wellness, there are also psychological benefits to swimming, if you allow them to occur. Relaxing and swimming with very low effort can become meditative. By letting your mind focus on the rhythm of the stroke, your breathing becomes regular and general ease of motion translates into the rest of your day. Unless you’re a non-swimmer, swimming is something most of us know how to do. It is worth it to learn proper form because not only will you enjoy learning proper technique, it will improve your fitness and reduce risk for injury. Proper technique can be 12

learned by any swimming video, website or lifeguard who is willing to chat. Every neighborhood it seems has a community pool or swim center, as do many fitness centers and health clubs. And if you’re lucky enough to have an ocean or lake nearby, even better. Studies have shown that people who swim regularly have better attitudes and a more positive outlook because it is more of a mind-body experience than a “noisier” sport like aerobics or biking. When asked what swimming does for her, a 40-yearold woman who swims 3- times a week responded in such a way that it epitomizes the benefits of this sport: “Swimming for me is more like an over all mind, heart, body and soul exercise. Granted, it is still exercise and you have to make yourself get into the groove; once you are in, there is no looking back. Swimming strengthens your heart, relaxes, puts your mind at ease, and increases your endurance and strength. For me it is a choice to go and exercise, but what motivates me to push through the tough first laps is that it eventually becomes my personal time to reflect or meditate on what is bothering me. It gives me the time to properly organize my thoughts and then after all that, you’ve suddenly hit “the zone” and it becomes so peaceful that you can actually get away with thinking of nothing other than how blessed you feel just to have the ability to be there. All of that while losing inches and fat? Why wouldn’t you?” One last thing to mention is that swimming is not necessarily a great way to lose a lot of weight. Because the water keeps your body cool, aerobic activity slows once you’re on land as opposed to a land exercise where aerobic activity often lasts wis great for weight loss and even better if supplemented with other aerobic activity. A great way to get or stay fit is to swim 2 days and jog or bike 2 days. All are cheap or free and will keep the machine running smoothly.

Stay Healthy!

STRAIN REVIEW: by MICHAEL DILLION

Choice is a great thing. But with choice comes decision, and sometimes deciding which strain of medical marijuana to buy is tough. There is such an incredible number of strains being grown and distributed that the lists at dispensaries can be pretty overwhelming. Here’s a suggestion to make life easier on you: next time you’re picking up a prescription, keep an eye out for Venom OG. It’s an easy choice. It’s a good decision. Venom OG is a calm, pleasant indica suited for an individual who understands how to relax, yet remain active. Not to be mixed up with Super Venom or Blue Venom, which (I think) are both hybrids. Obvious from the name, Venom OG is a member of the delightful OG family of cannabis. Indica has always fit me and my personality much better than sativa, so I have tried many different indica strains, and this ranks right up there with some of my favorites. It’s fairly high in THC, but not in an unpleasantly potent way. Strong, but kind. Physically, Venom OG has all the characteristics that appease my eyes. It has a light, rich green color with tons of orange hairs, crystals, and trichomes - which were super sticky and looked a lot like venom dripping off the buds. Possibly that’s where the name comes from? Not sure, but it would

make sense. My buds were moderate in density, fairly moist, and as stated before, very sticky. The taste was a little sweet, but more sour. Overall a pleasant smoking experience, aside from my fingers feeling like I’d poured soda on them after loading the bowl. To me, this is the perfect fit for a daytime high. It has a really nice lift, and doesn’t zap your energy or motivation like a lot of indicas. It’s uplifting qualities pair quite nicely with the mellow, relaxed feelings to give you a real level buzz. Head to the beach or park, hit an outdoor concert, take a long walk through the neighborhood with headphones on, or take a little bike ride. Whatever you do, make it an outdoor occasion. I have been smoking this before most of my summer-y events over the last couple weeks and it really is perfection. Amidst checking with dispensaries to locate some of this strain, I found that it’s fairly exclusive and hard to find bud. Often when inquiring about the availability of Venom OG from dispensaries, I was met with the the common response of “I wish” or “Hopefully soon”. But with patience and persistence, you should be able to find it in and around the city. So although it may be hard to come by at times, it’s out there and it’s attainable. Usually when I ask friends what they think the premiere strain of marijuana is - the high they feel most comfortable and happy with - I hear that it’s “OG this” or “OG that”. I generally have to agree that a premium OG is about as good as it gets in the world of Kush. Venom OG has a lot to live up to in it’s name, and on the whole it does not disappoint. I’d be fully confident passing this strain to any OG connoisseur on my left.

Depending on your age, there was a day when a phone book was the only way to find a plumber, insurance agent or other types of service. Today, the internet has changed all that. No longer do we rely on a book full of yellow pages as if we were living in the st0ne ages. Our reliance on cyberspace can fulfill our needs within nano seconds. However, when you own a medical marijuana business, reaching into cyberspace has become the 8th wonder of the world. For some or most, it can be scary. However, stepping forward is a must, as medical marijuana patients use the internet every second of the day trying to find new strains, edibles, or locations. According to a recent study by Internet World Stats, the United States has over 250,000,000 people using the internet which represents 76% of the population. Medical marijuana dispensaries are competing for patients like never before. A recent visit to some medical marijuana dispensaries 26

in Colorado had 4 dispensaries within walking distance of each other. How does a medical marijuana patient choose from 4 different dispensaries? If you fear change, try being a medical marijuana patient attempting to purchase medicine from businesses they’ve never visited. Out of the 4, only 1 had an active website and 1 has an active dailybuds listing account. In a recent article from The Weed Blog, Johnny Green said it best: “We live in a completely different time now – the digital era. As I’m writing this article, I’m sitting in my crappy house in Eugene, Oregon, taking huge bong hits and watching CSPAN between typing sessions. Back in the Day, in order to reach a national (or international as is the case with the net) audience, I would have had to fork out enormous amounts of cash for printing supplies, negotiate with print circulators and media outlets, and after years

of pain and anguish, MIGHT have pumped out a few magazines. Instead, I can think of a blog article and have it up by lunch time the same day, and share it across the entire globe!” Now that, my friends, is the power of the internet! Medical marijuana dispensaries and collectives are just like any business. They need to have a web presence to thrive. Web presence doesn’t mean you have just a website. It means your business is taking full advantage of all of the tools available to you. One of those tools is dailybuds.com. According to Mike Lerner, dailybuds. com received over 15,000,000 pages viewed in 1 month. Dailybuds. com is a unique and special place to visit. The reason is its ability to offer so much in one location. So, what does it offer? Try blogging, bulletin boards, classified advertisements, video, music, listing pages, groups, events and online chatting to name a few. It also offers friendship, community, and important information within our industry. If you had to develop a website such as dailybuds.com on your own, the cost could be well over $25,000. By the way, most websites are lucky if they have over 25 visitors per day, let alone millions. Here are some areas that you should focus on if you have a medical marijuana business.

If you haven’t created your own listing page for your medical marijuana business, you’re making a big mistake. The listing page is an excellent opportunity to “showcase” your dispensary with pictures, links, video, and written content. It is like you have your own web page within dailybuds.com. In addition, it works with Google to help you appear in the search results. For more information on setting up your listing page contact info@dailybuds.com or call (877) 624-KUSH 5874 and they will help you set up your dailybuds.com account (free of charge).

Creating a group page will allow you to attract and interact with a wide variety of patients through a discussion board. This is a unique application that isn’t offered by any other medical marijuana social media websites.

A blog is an application that allows you to post an article for everyone to see it on the site. Anyone who reads the blog posting can comment on that particular posting.

Videos have become one of the most powerful avenues that patients can use to find information. YouTube.com had 144 million viewers in the month of June. Dailybuds has a specific section of its website dedicated to posting videos that can be used to showcase your business. Patients love being able to see what you have to offer, especially strains.

If you’re not familiar with forums, they allow you to post messages or content based on a specific topic, allowing other people to post messages. The two most popular categories in dailybuds. com are the growing and patient sections. The technology of dailybuds.com will allow you to not only write content but also add videos or pictures. If you are a medical marijuana business, you can contribute by showing some of your great products. Kush Magazine is working harder than ever to make dailybuds. com the premier choice for the medical cannabis community. We have several groups available such as Dailybuds Internet Marketing that will show you specifically how to create a listing page or advertisement. There are even YouTube tutorials that are available. If you are sitting at your dispensary wondering why the competitor down the street has more cars and patients at their dispensary, they have probably left the stoned ages and are using dailybuds. com to communicate to the world.

There have always been mystical, magical characters throughout time. Not the kind of characters dreamt up by Hollywood, or in a J.K. Rowling book, but the real kind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the kind that only comes around every decade or so â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the kind that leaves such an indelible mark in their field, and on society, that their name alone conveys its own energy.

It’s as though these character’s time on earth was spent doing exactly what they were supposed to do. People like Michelangelo, Einstein, Dali, Charlie Chaplin, Picasso, Louis Armstrong, Elvis, Bob Marley, Martin Luther King Jr., Cesar Chavez, Bill Gates, John Lennon, Magic Johnson, Bob Dylan, and these are just to name a few. Jimi Hendrix was this type of character. His name alone carries so much mystique, and energy. His music speaks for itself, and his legacy is stronger than ever. This month of September, KUSH would like to pay tribute to a true genius, and innovator in his field – James Marshall “Jimi” Hendrix – Nov. 27th, 1942 – Sept. 18th, 1970. Considered to be the best electric guitarist in the history of rock music, Jimi Hendrix lived a very short, adventurous life, but managed to perfect his craft in that time. Popularizing the wah-wah pedal, and creating the distorted feedback was Hendrix’ mark of success. Coming from a long pedigree of playing with top R&B musicians, like Little Richard, Sam Cooke, and Jackie Wilson, Jimi was already doing amazing solos, and was looking to make a name for himself. That he did. As a huge star in Europe, he became “the guy”. That character that rises on its own, and is propelled by a “true” sensibility, and the purest of passions. Besides his technical skills and innovations within the field, Jimi Hendrix possessed that “true”-ness. His character is often imitated, and more often mutilated, but that energy that he spread for 28 years was great. It comes across in every gesture and note he ever played – if only even on DVD. If there’s a mystique about rock stars and the lifestyles they live, (and die) by, than Jimi set the mold. Living every day dressed in Royal Blue Velvet, and psychedelic pants, dating models, and smoking joints like cigarettes. Sex, Drugs, and Rock’n’Roll. This is the life that Jimi formed and portrayed to our world. Many have fallen suit, but none will ever live up to the character built by Hendrix. He was one of a kind, and he will always be missed. Thankfully we can appreciate him via many mediums, and keep his legacy alive.

WITH AN ASTOUNDING 39 ALBUMS, SIX GRAMMY Awards, a Brit Award, inductions into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame, the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and the Irish Music Hall of Fame, as well as many movie scores under his belt, Van Morrison is most certainly still “….the Man”. This Irish rocker has been actively making music for over five decades, (and although claims to not be touring, but rather, just “playing gigs”) is thankfully stopping in San Diego on 10/6, at the San Diego Civic Theater. Ok, if you can call seven shows (including two across the pond) a “tour”, fine, go ahead….. Van on the other hand has earned the right to call his own shots, and hasn’t ever conceded to the “big business” of the music business. He has always steered his own ship, at times to the point of critical bashing. This is what makes Van the Man. With a style dubbed “Celtic Soul”, Van has found a sound that is “meditative”, and “hypnotic”. His album Astral Weeks, (released on Warner Bros. Records in 1968) is considered to this day, one of the top 20 rock albums ever – rubbing elbows with the likes of The Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Led Zeppelin. Not bad for a kid from Belfast. 42

Van has always done what he wants, and never tried to follow anyone else’s lead. I learned this the hard way back in 1989, when I saw Van “gigging” at the Universal Amphitheater in L.A. It was in support of his Irish Heartbeat album, a collection of traditional Irish folk songs, recorded with the Irish group The Chieftains. I went expecting all the hits like Brown Eyed Girl, Jackie Wilson Said (I’m In Heaven When you Smile), and Wild Night. I got NONE of these. I ended up walking out, so mad that this big star wouldn’t play his own hits. With a twenty year cooling off period, I decided to give Van another chance, and this time he didn’t let me down. Van is back to appeasing his fan base with all of his hits, and only now do I realize what I had miserably sat through (and walked out of) back in ‘89 – it was a very important period of music for Morrison, exploring a genre very near and dear to his heart. Playing his Celtic tunes wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but in typical Van fashion, that didn’t matter – it was what He wanted to play, and having the determination and conviction to take the path less traveled has proven to be the right path for Morrison. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to see a true artist, and rock icon.

by Julie Cole Best Lunch Date Zia’s Bistro 1845 India St (between Date St & Fir St)

ate night is commonly thought of as dinner and a movie, which if you ask me, is great after you have been dating for 6 months or years, but not necessarily the best way to spend a first date or certainly not a last date. Dating is cyclical and sometimes the best dates happen in the morning at a coffee shop or in a late-night diner. Every couple discovers their favorite spots to dine and those favorites often become regular institutions of the relationship. “Our” sushi place or the pizza “we” like becomes a thread in any relationship so you might as well find some really nice thread.

Best Morning Date Parkhouse Eatery 4574 Park Blvd (between Monroe Ave & Madison Ave) Located in University Heights, Parkhouse is the perfect place to take your date for breakfast or brunch. The atmosphere is a wonderful blend of old and new and the patio, which is homey and pleasant and affords lazy people watching while sipping on mimosas or a Bloody Mary. The menu is fresh ingredients with California flair. The Parkhouse Benedict is an interesting variation of Eggs Benny--poached eggs atop sourdough with avocado hollandaise and thick, crisp bacon. The stuffed French toast is filled warm, gooey cream cheese and served with fruit compote and maple syrup. You can even bring your dog to the patio!

I have always thought of Little Italy as an ideal “date neighborhood” and Zia’s is a perfect way to end a romantic stroll through one of San Diego’s quaintest and most colorful neighborhoods. On a sunny day, sitting on the patio with a date will make the rest of the world seem far away and time moves very slowly in Little Italy. Start with the Antipasta Mista for two--Vegetables, olives, Italian meats, and cheeses and move on to one of their fresh, delicious salads or share a brick-oven pizza. The In Bianco is prepared with vegetables, olives, Italian meats, and cheeses. For the heartier appetite, try the Lasagna!

Best Dinner Date The Prado at Balboa Park 1549 El Prado (between Plaza De Panama & Village Pl) Balboa Park is terribly romantic at night and The Prado is the restaurant equivalent to a Fellini film. Take a stroll around the park before your reservation at The Prado. Arrive early and enjoy a glass of wine at the bar. The wine list is creative and extensive, offering some of California’s finest selections. You can dine al fresco any time, day or night as the gorgeous patio has heaters for chilly evenings. The service is impeccable and the menu is fantastic. Try the Kobe Beef sushi roll to start. The seafood is always fresh and presented beautifully. The Prado uses a lot of organic ingredients and the chefs do a great job finding flavors that compliment each other as well as the discriminating palate. Desserts are not to be skipped. The steamed blackberry cake is delicate blackberry cake, meyer lemon pot de crème, and port wine-blackberry and is delicious with a port. If you’re looking to impress on date night, The Prado will make you a hero.

or growers, one of the best ways to ensure the long term stability of your hard earned resin is to keep the temperature of your grow space moderate – no warmer than mid 80’s as a consistent trend. A few days of 90 degree heat during a heat spell won’t immediately degrade the resin, but grow rooms that run consistently above 90 day in and day out frequently have resin that “ambers” out sooner in the crop cycle and is generally less enjoyable to smoke. As resin matures, it turns from clear to cloudy to amber in color. This is natural to a certain degree at the end of the plant’s maturation cycle, but you don’t want the process to happen too early or too much. After THC builds up to a peak concentration in Cannabis, it begins to break down into other less psychoactive Cannabinoids. You want your room warm enough to promote good water and nutrient uptake (75-85 degrees while the lights are on), but not so hot that it can lead to degraded resin. The other major contributor to resin degradation is light. Consistent exposure to light during curing or storage can really injure the potency and the shelf life of the product. Growers should hang their crops in a cool, dark place while they dry, not in the grow space or anywhere else there is constant bright light. Cannabis consumers who leave their herb in glass jars in brightly lit rooms (like I used to do) will find that the buds just don’t store as well and lose some potency and flavor after just a few months. The same buds in the same jars stored in a cool, dark cupboard will keep their kick and their aroma much longer as they cure – up to 8 months or more. Ideally, Cannabis can be stored in a refrigerator once it is completely dry and in a tightly sealed container. Make sure the container is air

tight by placing a fresh leaf inside the jar and placing it in the fridge. If the leaf shows signs of drying out after a week, then upgrade your containers. Speaking of containers – not all of them are made equal. Small amounts of air leakage from your herb containers can cause your favorite buds to dry out or lose flavor and potency as the VOC’s gas off (VOC’s are Volatile Organic Compounds – basically the aroma and flavor molecules that are emanating from Cannabis). The plastic bags and prescription bottles that Cannabis is often sold in are not suitable for general storage. Transfer your herb into an air tight container after bringing it home. However, even the glass jars with hinged lids and rubber seal aren’t always air tight - especially as they get older and the rubber begins to get stiff. Container stores and house ware stores carry many different makes and models of storage containers intended to be airtight. Test them using the leaf test before buying a bunch of them. Many pot connoisseurs swear by glass, but polycarbonate containers can work just as well if the seal is tight. One advantage to polycarbonate containers is that they aren’t subject to breakage during transportation. However you grow it and store it, remember that resin can be sensitive to environmental degradation from heat, light and air. Even shake should receive proper post-harvest handling and storage if the grower intends to make hash or kief out of it. After all, hashish and kief are simply the result of collecting the resin from the plant material via separation. If you want the finest cold water hash, kief or other Cannabis concentrates – protect your resin from the plant through the harvest. You’ll be surprised at what a difference a little TLC can do for your resin and your smoking experience.

you are showing someone La Jolla for the first time, expect to stroll the art galleries and see the sea lions, which is always fun and unless you’re buying art, free. A tour of the Stephen Birch Aquarium & Museum is also a great way to spend a few hours. But the best part of La Jolla is the beach. La Jolla beaches are some of the most picturesque in the country, if not the world. Enjoy the majestic sandstone cliffs towering high above the Pacific at Torrey Pines State Beach. La Jolla cove offers crystal blue waters and ideal snorkeling. And if you’re into clothing, or NOT, Black’s Beach is the spot for you. It’s clean, quiet and you’ll never have tan lines again. Begin your kayaking, snorkeling or Scuba adventure form La Jolla Shores. This is also a great spot to take photos and catch the sea lions basking in the sun.

LA JOLLA DINING can be pricey at night, so I recommend having lunch. George’s,

with its million dollar views and world-class menu, is a perfect place to go to lunch without having to refinance your home to pay for it. Sometimes we forget the famous, touristy spots because they are famous and touristy, but George’s is famous for good reason and shouldn’t be ignored. Grab a bottle of wine and a few appetizers on the ocean view terrace and you’ll feel like you won the lottery.

NIGHTLIFE IN LA JOLLA has a little something for everyone. From casual beach bars to wine bistros and nightclubs, there is no shortage of things to do after dark. However, La Jolla is a sleepy little village and that means that the most action you’re going to see is mostly on the weekends. Check local listings for live music and events. And remember, just because La Jolla is out of your price range, it is right there in your own backyard, so enjoy your free access to one of California’s most beautiful jewels.

If you haven’t noticed, solar power is edging its way into the mainstream conversation on alternative energy. Even baseball announcers are lending their names and voices to companies that make commercials touting how easy it is to get solar installed in your home or business. And why wouldn’t people be looking to the sun? In just one hour, the earth receives more energy than the entire world uses in a year! Solar power is the conversion of sunlight to electricity. Sunlight can be converted directly into electricity using photovoltaics (PV), or indirectly with concentrating solar power (CSP), which normally focuses the sun’s energy to boil water, which is then used to provide power. According to the Solar Energy Society, the three types of photovoltaic panels are Monocrystalline, Polycrystalline and Amorphous, and each has its own set of pros and cons. The fact with photovoltaics is that it is difficult to create a commercially viable system because of the overall cost of the system required to generate a useful amount of power. Scientists explain the solution that since solar radiation is intermittent, solar power generation is combined either with storage or other energy sources to provide continuous power, like wind. As a side note, a large power plant in Germany has been demonstrated using a mix of wind, biomass, hydro and solar power generation, resulting in 100% renewable energy. SO while the sun is not out all the time—it may go behind a cloud or hide out during a storm—there is a 100% chance it will return. This is the very essence of renewable energy.

Solar can be expensive to install, though every year the prices go down as interest and demand increases. If the cost of installing solar panels into a three bedroom home is $20,000, the savings that the homeowner realizes by installing solar will become an attractive investment in the long run. With the housing market slowing down so considerably these past years, solar is also an excellent way to add instant value to a home while promising savings to the buyer. The good news is that many solar companies are offering low cost monthly lease options where they also provide insurance and maintenance included in the price. Most comparisons show that if you compare the price of the new electricity bill and the lease bill, the total monthly lease bill for solar is less than the original utility bill. So aside from it being a smart “green” choice, it is definitively a money saver.

By JAY EVANS Having decided to just do it on a whim, my first attempt was difficult, (done with less than a month of training) but as these marathons passed, I realized what I needed to do to get through them. These were not only physical challenges, but mental as well. During these 26.2 miles as I’d run, then walk, then run again, then walk a bit more, I’d always see people wearing t-shirts from Triathalon events, different Marathons, and other physical challenges. Some were these ultra-marathons over 100+ miles through the desert (these people gotta be nuts)!! - Others sounded way too inviting, like the one’s in Hawaii…. that’s more KUSH style….. Well there’s one right here in our backyard that sounds challenging, yet picturesque and enjoyable – The San Diego Triathlon Classic – Sept. 18th. Starting early, the Olympic Distance Race consists of a 1500m flat-water protected swim through the NTC boat canal, then it’s off on a 40k hilly bike course from Liberty Station through the Naval Submarine Base at point Loma, then up to Cabrillo National Park, with views of Downtown San Diego and Mexico. If you’re not tired from that, there’s the 10k flat run back through NTC Park at Liberty Station. This triple header sounds like a walk in the park compared to some other Tri’s, or more like a run in the park….. This USAT sanctioned event is designed with a unique multi-loop course, which allows spectators, family members, and support groups to cheer on participants many times throughout the event. With this historical and colorful part of Central San Diego as its backdrop, both the athletes and supporters should have an outstanding time. For more info on how to enter the San Diego Triathalon Classic, or to just come out and join the fun, go to www.MomentCycleSport.com.

That’s the word from the Transportation Safety Administration, NORML, and Americans for Safe Access this year. Despite every-widening acceptance of the plant, patients should not assume they can fly with their medication. TSA spokesperson Suzanne Trevino said TSA officials at the nation’s 750 or so checkpoints screen more than 700 million passengers a year. If they find a federally illegal substance like marijuana, they alert local law enforcement. Patients should call ahead of their trip to ascertain the details of local law enforcement policy. The TSA says some state laws might not allow for interstate or intercountry possession. A sheriff’s spokesperson at San Francisco Airport, for example, said medical marijuana patients can fly wherever they want, but they should declare their medicine at the checkpoint. Patients must present their medical marijuana patient id card and can fly with no more than is stated on the card. Lauren Payne, lawyer for Americans for Safe Access – a patient advocacy group - stated “it’s best NOT to fly with medicine, EVEN if your flight never leaves your home state.” She knows of one California patient awaiting sentencing for flying out of SFO with three-quarters of an ounce of processed marijuana and two grams of concentrated cannabis. Another patient was arrested and tried for attempting to fly from Sacramento to New Orleans with three pounds of marijuana in his suitcase. Payne adds, “Any type of concentrate, including edibles, are arresteable without the proper paperwork.” California NORML spokesperson Dale Gieringer said Oakland, SFO, and LAX honor state medical marijuana law, while Burbank and San Diego are known not to. Each of the 14 medical marijuana states has different laws, and enforcement of those laws can

vary significantly by airport. The TSA said there is no master list of policies at each airport. Trevino highly discouraged trying to sneak medical marijuana through security, noting the TSA is keen to those who stash contraband in the small of their back and groin. The TSA is rolling out quarter of a million dollar, millimeter wave radars called Whole Body Imaging across the nation. The devices pick up non-metallic objects concealed on the body and are already catching marijuana hidden on passengers. Some patients report no trouble flying with medicine. In Missoula, Montana this August, an activist flew a growing marijuana plant

as carry-on from Michigan, using a commercial carrier. It’s now proudly displayed in the business window of the Montana Caregivers Network, patient Jason Christ told local news. “When I have a plant I am carrying across the states in a plane, it’s making the shock value wear off.” Payne says be careful out there. “I’m happy that most patients have no trouble traveling with medicine, as well they should be allowed to.” However, she hears “horror stories EVERY day about California law enforcement officers who are unwilling to abide by state law.”

For those of you who are spending lots of time in the gym, pumping iron and supplementing lots of protein into your diet, KUSH has an alternative for those nasty tasting whey shakes. Take a look into Hemp protein powder, and we’re sure you will enjoy the benefits of our beloved Hemp plant even more. Consisting of all 20 known amino acids, (including those 10 that are essential for human health) Hemp protein has the right quantity and proportion for the body to utilize optimally, making it one of the best proteins available. Hemp protein also provides essential fatty acids needed for balanced health - one Omega 3 to each Omega 6. With all of it’s carb content being fiber, this works well with any low carb diet. The insoluble fiber content of organic Hemp protein powder works to keep your blood sugar level stable, as well as helping keep you regular. There’s nothing better than that, right? Making the switch from your regular GNC store bought Protein barrel to Hemp protein might not seem worth your while right now, but there are even more benefits that might win you over. No bloating - after chugging down a huge whey protein shake, the usual feeling is kind of “uuuugh”. A bloated belly with plenty of protein to go work off. Being free of oligosaccharides (the component that can cause gas and upset stomach) hemp protein powders will alleviate you from feeling that protein bloat. Hemp powders are ground up plant seeds which taste natural and are easily dissolved in orange juice or even water. Another benefit to digesting your protein this way, is you won’t have that “protein

shake breath” afterwards. It seems like something small, until you don’t have to deal with it ever again. The benefits are exponential. Cost may be a factor in your protein choices, and there are many companies out there selling portions ranging from small jars to 5lb bags. With the Hemp protein powder being more efficient, and more productive than a lot of the “mass-manufactured” store-shelf barrel proteins, the best way to figure out which product suits you would be to start small, and then you can go large to save down the road. There are many online products available at www.Nutiva.com, or www.BobsRedMill.com. With anything that you might digest, inhale, or intake to your body or mind, it involves time, research, and trust. Take the time to research these products, and investigate whether they are right for your particular body chemistry.

Event Horizon is a horror film about a rescue crew that attempts to investigate what happened to a ship that went missing years ago. The Event Horizon was an experimental ship which was testing new technology that would allow travel through wormholes in order to allow faster travel through deep space. What resulted was that the ship was transported through another dimension of horror that introduced its crew to a new level of torment and suffering. The movie itself has received mixed reviews, some say the gore and plot go over the top, while others maintain that it is one of the most horrifying films of all time. 66

A semi cult favorite for years, The Fifth Element paints a fun and interesting depiction of the future. The first Airplane movie stands the test of time as one of the funniest off-the-wall comedies ever made. Airplane 2 goes down in history as being very much like the first film, but in space. Ted Striker is back and is once again trying to win over the heart of his ongoing love interest, Elaine. Tragedy strikes when the on board computer goes haywire and sends the ship hurtling towards the sun. The ship’s crew are eventually killed or incapacitated and just when you think it can’t get any worse, they run out of coffee. Striker is called up to save the day and face his demons as he attempts to rescue the ship. If you haven’t seen the original Airplane, put this magazine down right now and go watch it. As for Airplane 2: surley there can’t be a funnier space sequel.

You might have to suspend your scientific beliefs in order to really enjoy this movie, from filmmaker Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire and 28 Days Later). In the film, a crew of scientists are sent from Earth to the sun in order to detonate a massive nuclear bomb. The sun has been burning out and life on Earth has been threatened by the cooling temperatures. Really, the sun is so massive that you could probably smash an entire planet into it with little effect, but if you can get past things like this, there are some terrific scenes for space freaks to really geek out on here. The film making is brilliant, and it somehow even enables the audience to feel the vastness of space. If you are into space, the sequence where tvhey fly close to Mercury is alone worth the cost of renting this film.

The casting is what really brings this movie to life, Gary Oldman is terrific as the villain, Zorg, Bruce Willis does a pretty good job as the hero Korben Dallas, and Milla Jovovich is, for lack of a better word, perfect. The movie is not without its flaws however. The costumes of the aliens are less than believable and the lines can be cheesy from time to time. This is good cheese though, like a Cheez-it or the cheese on a burger. Willis is a cab driver who has trouble making ends meet. His luck turns around when the perfect girl falls out of the sky (literally). Jovovich plays a supreme being that was sent to earth in order to save it from an evil force. It’s up to Dallas to prove to her it is worth saving.

Tom Hanks stars in this retelling of the story about NASA’s botched trip to the moon. Directed by Ron Howard in 1995, and nominated for nine academy awards including Best Picture, the movie displays all of the action and excitement that captured the world’s attention in 1970. The movie has been widely hailed as an extremely accurate representation of the actual event. One interesting note is that the line said by Hanks in the film actually deviates from what Jim Lovell said over the radio to Houston. The actual line was “Houston, we’ve had a problem” The line was changed to present tense for the movie in order to convey an ongoing event. Another interesting fact is that Jim Lovell himself plays the aircraft carrier Captain at the end of the film. Minor changes aside, this remains as one of the most complete and accurate space films around. If you like this and want to see more, try looking into the HBO miniseries ‘From the Earth to the Moon’ which covers the rest of the early space program, starting at Mercury and ending with the last Apollo mission.

And like the stock market, there is always the risk that things will not turn out quite as positively as one thinks they will. Then there is the cannabis industry. With no federal funding, hundreds of legitimate businesses have sprung up throughout California, Colorado, and other states in the Union. To put it in the plainest terms possible:

Mike Posner 9.17.10 @ House of Blues

The Doobie Brothers 9.8.10 @ Humphrey’s Concerts By the Bay The summer yacht rock train continues to roll in to Humphrey’s, this time showcasing the splendid sounds of the always marvelous Doobie Brothers. Some may say that yacht rock is irrelevant or the Doobie Bros are ‘washed up’, but that’s what a fool believes. This show will be one of those magical experiences that will play out in your dreams for months after Sept 8th. Combining the amazing sights of Humphrey’s by the bay and this classic band is like putting peanut butter and chocolate together... it just makes sense. Come down to the bay, spark a doobie, enjoy the view, and whoa oh oh... listen to the music! Don’t be a fool. www.doobiebros.com

Stone Temple Pilots 9.16.10 @ Viegas Arena (SDSU) Stone Temple Pilots, the San Diego natives and alternative rock heroes, have been out of the picture for a while. After forming in the mideighties, the band split in the early 2000’s mainly due to lead singer Scott Weiland’s drug problems. But in the last couple years the band has re-surged, releasing a self titled album back in May that debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts. They’re touring all over and come to the Viegas arena at SDSU for a special performance that every fan of rock music in the last 20 years will enjoy. www.stonetemplepilots.com

Mike Posner is quickly making his way towards being a huge pop star, and it’s not a big surprise. “Cooler Than Me” has been blasting the radio waves all summer long and with his debut album, 31 Minutes To Takeoff, being released recently, this Michigan native is poised for big things. Coming to SD on the “Up In The Air Tour”, this should be a really fun night at the House of Blues. A few songs to check out prior to checking him out live: “Cooler Than Me” Gigamesh remix, “Gone In September”, and “Bow Chicka Wow Wow”. www.mikeposner.com

Ratatat w/ Dom 9.19.10 @ House of Blues presented by Casbah Attending a live Ratatat show is kind of like the musical equivalent of drinking 6 shots of espresso and then going for a little jog. Doesn’t sound pleasant? Well then you’re getting the wrong vision. Imagine that jog taking place on the most beautiful day of the year, in a tropical paradise. The New York electro rockers, who don’t seem to believe in vocals on their tracks come to the House of Blues in San Diego to zap fans with a little dose of this aural euphoria on September 19th. It’s one of the most enjoyable live music experiences I’ve ever seen in person, and if you love beautiful sounds and crazy noises, you will have to agree. www.ratatatmusic.com

Phoenix, Neon Indian 9.21.10 @ Open Air Theatre (SDSU) What a difference one year can make. Last year at this time, Neon Indian was touring the west coast as Vega when ALL of their equipment was stolen in Sacramento and things were looking a bit bleak for the guys. Fast forward to present day, and they are sharing bills with Phoenix and Chromeo, getting interviewed by Moby, and playing live on national television. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know the guys over that time, and the success couldn’t have happened to a more genuine, friendly bunch. Their live set, along with Phoenix, is going to be quite the spectacle under the starry sky at SDSU. September 21st is officially the last day of summer, and I can’t think of a better place to spend it than this concert. www.wearephoenix.com, www.myspace.com/neonindian

Left: Mike Posner, The Doobie Brothers Right from Top: Willie Nelson, Stone Temple Pilots, Muse, Sara Bareilles, Vampire Weekend, Neon Indian

Muse 9.22.10 @ Viegas Arena (SDSU) I accidentally saw Muse at the Gorge in Washington state a couple years ago, and have not been the same since then. I was unaware of them at the time, and after listening to one song I was drawn to the front of the stage where moshing and head banging ensued. I’ve been a fan ever since. Their live show is one of the most intense, amazing, and electrifying rock ‘n’ roll experiences in existence. Formed in the mid-nineties, the English band has recorded five albums to date, their latest being 2009’s The Resistance. This is a show that will be worth every penny spent. And in case you’re not familiar with the band, check these out to get you primed: “Uprising”, “Resistance”, and “Supermassive Black Hole”. www.muse.mu

Willie Nelson 9.26.10 @ Open Sky Theater at Harrah’s Rincon Casino Willie Nelson is one of those American heroes that everyone knows and loves. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone speak unkindly of this man. His voice is infectious, his songs are timeless, and he’s one of the friendliest men with his level of fame you’ll find. His strong support on the legalization of marijuana has undoubtedly shed positive light on the issue to a more conservative crowd of fans, and he’s seen his share of controversy in relation to that. So whether you think you like country music or not, this is a show everyone can feel comfortable at. www.willienelson.com

Vampire Weekend 9.28.10 @ Soma Vampire Weekend brings their not-so-indie alt rock vibe to Soma in San Diego on September 28th, and you should be excited! The Columbia University grads who sprung to popularity upon their debut self titled album, haven’t had quite the same level of success with their more recent release, Contra. But despite the bad reviews, they are still a really good band and bring a high quality live show that will surely include a lot of their older material. Check this one out, they won’t let you down. www.vampireweekend.com

Sara Bareilles 9.29.10 @ House of Blues Sara Bareilles rose to fame upon the release of her 2007 album Little Voice, with hit singles like “Love Song”, “Bottle It Up”, and “Gravity”. She’s releasing her new album titled Kaleidoscope Heart on September 7th, with guest appearances from the likes of Questlove, Pharrell Williams, and members of Weezer. Sara is a UCLA grad, and got her career started performing in choir and a capella groups around LA. Her voice is addicting and will linger in your head for days. Head out to House of Blues on this wonderful Wednesday evening and enter the enchanting world of Sara Bareilles. www.sarabmusic.com

KICKASS GRILLED CORN ON THE COB INGREDIENTS 1 teaspoon chili powder 1/8 teaspoon dried oregano 1 pinch onion powder cayenne pepper to taste garlic powder to taste salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup THC butter, softened 6 ears corn, husked and cleaned 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped

DIRECTIONS Preheat grill for medium-high heat. In a medium bowl, mix together the chili powder, oregano, onion powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend in the softened THC butter. Apply this mixture to each ear of corn, and place each ear onto a piece of aluminum foil big enough to wrap the corn. Wrap like a burrito, and twist the ends to close. Place wrapped corn on the preheated grill, and cook 20 to 30 minutes, until tender when poked with a fork. Turn corn occasionally during cooking.

MEDITERRANEAN WATERMELON SALAD INGREDIENTS 3/4 cup halved, thinly sliced red onion 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 1/2 quarts seeded, cubed watermelon 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese 1/2 cup pitted black olive halves 1 cup chopped fresh mint 1/4 cup THC olive oil DIRECTIONS Place the onion slices in a small bowl with the lime juice. The acid of the lime will mellow the flavor of the raw onion. Let stand for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the watermelon cubes, feta cheese, black olives, onions with the lime juice, and mint. Drizzle THC olive oil over it all, and toss to blend. Dig in and be prepared for a pleasant surprise!

15 MINUTE MEDICATED PASTA DINNER INGREDIENTS 4 ounces fettuccini pasta 2 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite size pieces 2 green onions, chopped 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 cup sliced black olives Âź cup THC olive oil 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic 2 tablespoons grated Par mesan cheese 10 sun-dried tomatoes, softened 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsleye

DIRECTIONS Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken until brown and juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in green onions, basil, olives, THC olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes and parsley; cook 5 minutes, or until garlic is golden and whites of onions are translucent. Toss chicken mixture with pasta; serve.

ITALIAN BREAD SALAD INGREDIENTS 1 clove garlic 1 (1 pound) loaf Italian bread 1 cup chopped tomatoes 1 cup cucumber - peeled, seeded and chopped 1 cup chopped red onion 1 clove garlic, minced 2 cups chopped fresh basil 1/8 cup chopped fresh thyme 1/4 cup THC olive oil 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar1 DIRECTIONS Rub a peeled clove of garlic around a wooden salad bowl. Pull apart or chop the bread into bite-size pieces. In the prepared salad bowl, combine the bread, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, garlic, basil and thyme. Add enough THC olive oil and vinegar to lightly coat, toss and serve.

STONE COLD TUNA INGREDIENTS 3/4 pound sashimi grade tuna steak, diced 1/2 cup diced cucumber 1 avocados - peeled, pitted and diced 1/4 cup chopped green onion 1 1/2 teaspoons red pepper flakes 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds 1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice Âź cup THC olive oil 1/2 cup soy sauces DIRECTIONS In a medium bowl, combine the tuna, cucumber, avocado, green onion, red pepper flakes and sesame seeds. Pour in the lemon juice, THC olive oil and soy sauce, and stir carefully to blend so as not to mash the avocado. Place this bowl into a larger bowl that has been filled with ice. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, but no longer - the terrific freshness of the fish will be lost. Once chilled, remove the bowl from the ice, and invert onto a serving plate. Serve with toasted bread or your favorite crackers.

ALASKAN KING SALMON GARAM MASALA INGREDIENTS 3/4 cup dry white wine 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/3 cup coconut milk 2 tablespoons curry powder Â˝ cup cold, unsalted THC butter, cut into pieces kosher salt to taste 1/4 cup vegetable oil 8 (6 ounce) fillets Alaskan king salmon 2 tablespoons garam masala kosher salt to taste

80 kush 80

DIRECTIONS Pour white wine, cream, and coconut milk into a saucepan; season with curry powder. Bring to a light boil over mediumhigh heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the liquid has reduced to 1/2 cup, about 10 minutes. When the liquid has reduced, turn heat to low, and whisk in the THC butter, a few cubes at a time, until all of the butter has incorporated. Do not allow the mixture to boil or else it will separate, and you run the chance of losing your medication. When the butter has incorporated, season to taste with salt and set aside to keep warm. Heat the oil in a saute pan over medium-high heat until it begins to smoke. While the oil is heating, lightly season both sides of the salmon with garam masala and salt. Sear the salmon in the hot oil for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then turn over, and continue cooking for 2 to 3 minutes until done. Briefly drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil, then serve immediately with the curry butter sauce.

PEACH RASPBERRY CRUMBLE INGREDIENTS 1 pint fresh raspberries 3 fresh peaches, pitted and chopped 2 tablespoons lemon juice 1/3 cup white sugar 1 pinch cinnamon 1 cup rolled oats 1/2 cup unsalted THC butter 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup white sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 teaspoon salt 1 pinch cinnamon DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease 6 small ramekins. In a bowl, mix the raspberries, peaches, lemon juice, 1/3 cup white sugar, and 1 pinch cinnamon.

In a separate bowl, mix the oats, THC butter, brown sugar, 1/4 cup white sugar, vanilla, salt, and 1 pinch cinnamon. Fill the prepared ramekins with equal amounts of the raspberry and peach mixture, and top with equal amounts of the oats mixture. Arrange the ramekins on a baking sheet. Bake 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until crisp and golden brown. Cool 10 minutes before serving.

Remove from oven and set aside to cool slightly. Sprinkle blueberries over the crust. Combine the 1/4 cup sugar and nutmeg; sprinkle over the blueberries. Make the topping: In a medium bowl, cream together the 5 tablespoons THC butter and brown sugar until smooth. Mix in the flour, so that the mixture is crumbly like streusel. Sprinkle over the blueberry layer. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until browned. Cool and then dust with confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar before cutting into bars.

LEMON BLUEBERRY BARS INGREDIENTS CRUST: 2 cups all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons white sugar 2 teaspoons lemon zest 1 pinch salt 1/2 cup THC butter, chilled and diced 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract FILLING: 2 cups fresh blueberries 1/4 cup white sugar 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg CRUMB TOPPING: 5 tablespoons THC butter, softened 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/4 cup confectionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; sugar for dustings DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Start by making the crust. In a medium bowl, stir together the 2 cups flour, 2 tablespoons white sugar, lemon zest and salt. Cut in the 1/2 cup THC butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Beat egg and vanilla together; stir into the crumb mixture until a dough forms. Press into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden.

The Kensington Club 4079 Adams Avenue San Diego, CA (619) 284-2848 The Kensington Club, better known as the Ken Club, is a great little spot in a great little neighborhood. Kensington, which stretches just a few blocks off Adams, is a quaint neighborhood from days gone by. While walking down the street, you half expect Richie Cunningham and The Fonz to walk out of the diner or Marty McFly to race by on his skateboard. A big part of Kensington’s charm is the Kensington Theater, one of San Diego’s last remaining single screen theaters. The cinema is a Landmark theater and you can see independent and foreign films there nightly. Right next door is the community staple—the Ken Club. Since 1935, this no-frills bar has been serving the sauce to residents and

The last time I was there I spent hours chatting up a man in his late 70s who sat next to a couple with matching blue mohawks and enough tattoos to cover a bedroom wall. You can always count on meeting some new friends at the bar. The Ken Club is broken in to two separate rooms, the side with the bar and the side with the stage. The Ken Club has a dj and live bands. Local favorite Deadbolt is a regular fixture on live music nights. It can get very crowded and very loud at the Ken Club so make sure you get there early if you’re going to see a band or hear a dj spin.

Boom boom. The noise is the foundation shaking signature of the Space Shuttle as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose and wings rip through the atmosphere on itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s flight home. The twin sonic boom is normally a signifier of yet another successful mission into space. Early next year it will take on a much more significant meaning. 90

2011 will mark a major turning point for the future of space flight. For better or worse, NASA will be getting its wings clipped. Five space-ready shuttles have been built over the years: Challenger, Columbia, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavor. The two shuttles, Colombia and Challenger have tragically and famously disintegrated in flight, Atlantis has been retired officially, leaving Discovery and Endeavour. Discover is set to lift off for the last time in Nov., and Endeavour is slated to be the last Space Shuttle to fly on Feb. 26, 2011. Today, the space program is just a whimper compared to the gargantuan national project that sent Neil Armstrong and Co. to the moon in 1969. Next year, when Endeavour touches down, the fleet of aging old tech will limp it’s way into the history books. After that there are no more plans for a manned space flight from NASA. The planned Mars-bound Constellation program has been scrapped by the Obama administration; the keys to the universe handed off to the private sector. The new idea is to have private companies develop their space vehicles. A new kind of private pioneer will be encouraged into space. President Obama said he is hopeful of a trip to an asteroid in 2025, and Mars sometime in the mid-2030s according to the New York Times. From now on, if you are looking for the Right Stuff look no further than your nearest tax haven. Rich people with a penchant for space flight will now take up the reigns once held only by an elite few.

It’s not all as bad as it may seem, excessive tourism can easily ruin many a vacation spot, but tourists in space could do a lot of good. The great thing is that normal people don’t just get to hear about the excitement of traveling through space, they can do it. Spend enough money and you can follow in the footsteps of Yuri Gagarin or Alan Shepard. The Space Shuttle, and Skylab before it, have been criticized over the years for squandering the excitement and enthusiasm for space flight with boring missions. The missions in the 60s that built up to the moon landing pushed the outside of the envelope and the astronauts were celebrities to the public. Since then there have been a torrent of scientists doing important, but ultimately not very exciting work. Maybe the image of rock stars in space will come back when we actually have rock stars in space. All you rap artists who think you’re hot stuff because your Cadillac has large wheels, this is your chance. Come back and talk to us after you’ve achieved low Earth orbit. You think your sport bike is fast? Try covering 8,000 miles every second. For the truly baller, this will soon be a reality. Virgin Galactic is taking orders for their space flights right now. $20 thousand gets you on the waiting list, $200 thousand sends you up into space. Virgin is not the only one getting in on the action, California based Space X launched a privately developed vehicle into orbit on June 4 this year. John F. Kennedy once said that we choose to go to the moon not because it is easy, but because it is hard. One has to wonder if the change in the way we approach space flight is the easy way out for a country burdened with financial problems, or the difficult realization of the superior potential of the private sector. As for me, I’ll just be buying a lotto ticket... or 20.

The First-Timer This guy is used to buying his marijuana from the passenger seat of a Mitsubishi Eclipse on the third floor of a downtown parking garage, so purchasing marijuana legally from a certified dispensary is like un-clipping a bra with one hand: he has absolutely no idea what he’s doing. The First-Timer is easily identified by his shaky voice, shifty eyes, and a generally nervous disposition. Even though his transaction is completely legal in the dispensary, the First-Timer can’t help feeling like he’s watching an M. Night Shyamalan movie: he’s completely terrified, but he has no idea why.

ting away on his Bluetooth headset. How here’s the good news: it’s perfectly legal to punch someone in the face if they’re speaking at an obnoxious volume on their cell phone in a marijuana dispensary (citation needed).

The Counter Girl Of all the characters you’ll encounter at the weed shop, the Counter Girl is by far the fan favorite. For starters: she’s a girl, and that’s always a good attribute. Secondly, she’s always at least moderately attractive, if not downright stunning. Thirdly (and most importantly), her job is to sell you weed. That’s all she’s there for: to talk to you

The Regular

about weed, and then sell you that weed. Does it get any better than

If you were shopping for produce at the grocery store and some guy came up to you and randomly started giving you advice about the fruits and vegetables you’re buying, you’d probably punch that guy

Girl would be outer space, because without her the entire thing just

in the neck and wish him a good afternoon. Yet, for some reason, The Regular at the weed shop thinks that it’s completely appropriate to voice his opinion on all the different marijuana strains that you’re considering at the weed counter. He also has opinions on which pot cookies taste the best, how to roll a perfect joint, and how to get the most efficiency out of weed butter. Tread carefully in this situation. While you couldn’t care less about his opinions, lashing out at The Regular would be like walking into the Cheers bar and punching Norm in the face: it just can’t be done. He’s The Regular. You’ll just have to grin and bear it.

The Door Man The dispensary Door Man is a lot like a night club bouncer, but without the extreme douchiness. His task is simple: he’s just supposed to see your card before you enter the dispensary to ensure that they’re not breaking the law by letting you in, so that the dispensary won’t get shut down and the staff can continue to provide you with high quality combustible and edible goods. It’s really not a high-stress work environment. The Door Man only needs to be scary enough to frighten away kids and complete idiots, so he’s bound to be a pretty cool dude.

The Bluetooth Guy Y’know how everyone in the weed dispensary is always really interested in hearing your side of a phone conversation, and how you have to speak really loudly into your Bluetooth headset so that everyone in the whole place can hear you? No, you don’t know that, because it’s completely and utterly false. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth Guy never got the memo. Apparently he’s not aware that nobody cares about his personal conversations, because he speaks as loudly as possible while casually perusing the dispensary and chat-

that? If the weed shop was the Star Wars Saga, then the Counter wouldn’t work.

Mr. Indecisive Is the guy at the counter in front of you going to get an Indica or a Sativa? Does he want a brownie? Should he try the weed gum? What about popcorn? Does he need rolling paper? Did he already use up the last pack he bought? If you don’t know the answers to these questions then you’d better plan on waiting for a while, because you’re standing behind Mr. Indecisive. He has no idea why he even came here, let alone what he’s buying, how much he needs, or if he left his wallet in the car. Luckily, there’s an excellent device for situations just like this: “If he’s ready to pay, let him stay. If he’s lost and confused, step around him and politely place your order with the counter girl.” Sure, it doesn’t rhyme, but who made it a rule that all memory devices had to rhyme?

The Guy Who’s Buying for All His Friends This guy is easy to spot: he’ll be the one who’s ordering marijuana like he’s at the grocery store butcher’s counter purchasing ingredients for the Meat-Lover’s episode of Top Chef. Reading from a scribbled list on the back of a Walgreen’s receipt, he’ll proceed to order six eighths of Silver Haze, fifteen Blueberry Kush blunts, and nine ounces of Nepalese Hashplant. This guy is either buying weed for all of his friends, or he’s planning on hot-boxing a brontosaurus later. Either way, he’s probably a cool dude to hang out with, and he’s sure to have some killer video games at home. You’ll encounter a wide variety of fellow patrons at your local marijuana dispensary. Some will be awesome, and some will suck the fun out of your day with the force of a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Just try to remember that you’re all there for the same reason: to flirt with the counter girl.
