Vapor Room: Every Day Project

Vapor Room:  Every Day Project

We’re writing every single day about the Federal Government’s attack on this most wonderful example of what a cannabis collective can be. See, come June 13th, the Vapor Room either needs to change into a delivery only service, or face a raid from the DEA. Their landlord has been threatened with forfeiture of the property for allowing an incredibly compassionate, stylish, hip, cool, knowledgable medical marijuana collective to serve the patient community in the lower Haight, and throughout San Francisco with their speedy delivery service. We’re wondering if you think the Federal Government has any ground to stand on? Who is being harmed by the presence of the Vapor Room in the Haight?

Expect to hear from us daily about this most tragic turn of events for San Francisco medical marijuana patients, and the entire cannabis community at large. Losing the brick and mortar location of Berkeley Patients Group in the East Bay was a tragic blow to our community. Let your voice be heard demanding(!!!) that the same fate does not fall upon the venerable Vapor Room!

San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors certainly agrees with the cannabis community, as evidenced by their signatures on this letter of commendation which Martin Olive and the Vapor Room crew so deservedly received on May 1st.

What If Cannabis Cured Cancer

What If Cannabis Cured Cancer

“What if Cannabis Cured Cancer summarizes the remarkable research findings of recent years about the cancer-protective effects of novel compounds in marijuana. Most medical doctors are not aware of this information and its implications for prevention and treatment. If we need more evidence that our current policy on cannabis is counterproductive and foolish, here it is. An excellent film. ” -Andrew Weil, M .D

“What If Cannabis Cured Cancer brings to light a host of recent findings that have potentially game-changing implications for the future of marijuana as a medicine. A must-see film.” -Marijuana Policy Project, Washington, DC

What about you? What do you think about this word “cure”? Well, what impresses me is the number of people who claim to have done just that, eliminate cancer from their bodies by using cannabis oil as their treatment. Scientists are making it happen in the petri dish, so is it really so far fetched to believe that cancer killing with cannabis couldn’t also going on in the human body as well? What do you think?

Epsilon New World Apothecary Strain Project

Epsilon New World Apothecary Strain Project

Chef Dave is collecting strain data across California, and if you are growing the best, you may want to check out the Epsilon New World Apothecary website.  Here are the forward thinking words of the man himself, from Epsilon’s Facebook page: “Epsilon will be conducting private research on lineage purity in CA strains, as they relate to therapeutic benefit! WHY? 

Personally, we’ve seen a sharp decline in the overall therapeutic benefit of some truly amazing old school lineages, but the remarkable part is…we’ve seen a rise in average potency. After 6yrs of conducting out “LITE” research and clinical trials, we’ve discovered significant connections between common cultivation practices (both industrial and natural/organic) and the decline in therapeutic quality of the end product.

With that being said, Epsilon will be conducting a statewide search, for the best of the best. If you believe your cultivation practices produce the top therapeutic meds around, let us know. Please understand, this is NOT about big potency numbers (although we certainly enjoy R&D with those strains): this is about finding strains that have been cared for so naturally, that the therapeutic relief provided represents the lineage the way its MEANT to. 
STAY TUNED…MORE DETAILS TO COME in the following days. If you cannot wait, feel free to contact us for more info on this program. [epsilonapothecaries@yahoo.com, attention: Dave]

We’d like to hear from you.  What do you think of Chef Dave’s project?  Do you plan to participate by sending information about your medical marijuana strains?  How do you feel about the therapeutic benefits of high grade cannabis as it relates to growing practices?  Are you getting fantastic results that medical cannabis patients are raving about?  Are there a few strains that are working exceptionally well for you and your patients?  Give us a shout!  We’ll be sure to stay in touch with Dave and hope you do too.  Happy growing, my friends!

Marijuana Genetics Video

Marijuana Genetics Video

Take a tour of a marijuana geneticist’s special cannabis nursery in this excellent video hosted by Scott Blakey. Scott was formerly with the Green House Seed Company in the Netherlands. 25 varieties of ganja grow at Scott’s farm, with 10,000 clones growing at any given time, some from mothers 16 years old. 9 of the marijuana strains grown at the Blakey nursery won the Cannabis Cup in Holland. Not bad, eh?!

Enjoy this great video tour of a pot farm, from an “accidental hero”.

Method Seven Glasses For Cannabis Growers

Method Seven Glasses For Cannabis Growers

Looking for a sign of a mature cannabis industry?  Need sunglasses for your grow room?  Method Seven glasses were designed specifically for cannabis growers, and other indoor farmers who utilize High Pressure Sodium lights to grow their crop.  Stylish and functional, these glasses are going to fly off the shelf.  Happy growing!!

Check out what Method Seven has to say in their own words:  “Method Seven glass lenses were developed so people who work under High Pressure Sodium Lighting (HPS) can protect their eyes and see natural colors. HPS lights are the most efficient and powerful light sources on the market for growing indoor plants. However, because these lights make everything look yellow, it is nearly impossible to evaluate the well being of plants when viewed under this lighting. Using Method Seven lenses you can see the natural colors of plants being grown under HPS Lighting conditions. There are also benefits for glass blowers in some applications (when light intensity isn’t too high).”

Enjoy this informative video, and use the link below to grab your own pair of Method Seven glasses.  Overgrow the government!
