J
une is another milestone in the establishment and reform of Arizona
Medical Marijuana laws. Its been a number of weeks since Arizona
patients were able to register for and receive medical marijuana cards.
While dispensaries wont be around for some time, cardholders are able to
grow their own marijuana for medical use.
Its important to remember the rules and regulations of growing
your own MMJ, or growing it on behalf of someone not capable to do so.
This issue, youll fnd articles dedicated to keeping you safe, as well as the
plants youre caring for. Youll learn cloning techniques for the plants you
cant live without, as well as how to produce bubble hash from the trim-
mings and leftovers of a harvest.
As the temperature skyrockets and staying inside sounds more enticing
every day, the Highern Chefs desserts will be sure to make summer more
than just hotitll be delicious too.
This month is also signifcant for The Green Leaf, as Ive become the new
editor permanently replacing Mike Meyer. I have a deep-seated passion for
the industry, and the content for the magazine will continue to become
more informative, entertaining, and useful in the months to come.
Thank you for your continued support, and remember to come back
next month for an exciting celebrity interview, as well as the mystery behind
OG Kush.

A Patient Story - Everybodys Mother

I
want to be a mother to the world! she exclaims as she
beams a bright smile and sweeps her arms. She shows
me several of the Teachers Awards that she has won and
many photos over 30 years of work with Special Needs Chil-
dren. She is proud, and they are beautiful.
But her work as a teaching-foster mom has
been curtailed by a diagnosis of A.L.S. (Lou
Gherigs Disease). This really came at
me from left feld...I didnt know what
hit me. A.L.S., or Amyotrophic
Lateral Sclerosis is a disease of
the nerve cells in the brain and
spinal cord that controls voluntary
muscle movements. Not only did
it[A.L.S.] force her to give up her
job, but her love of teaching and
working with children. The prog-
nosis wasnt good.
Many patients dont live past the
frst 5 years of their diagnosis of A.L.S. She
was given 2 years to live. That was 3 years ago.
I cried for a long time. Days went by. Weeks went by.
Months went by. Then severe depression overcame me. It was
deep like I have never felt before. When I lost my work, I lost
what made me. I am everybodys mother. Its who I am...
Cassie says the church she attends helped her out a lot.
I owe my church a debt of gratitude. She is grateful for
the passing of Prop 203. Medical Marijuana saved my life. It
helps me with pain control, nausea and depression. She goes
on to list more conditions before saying: Medical Marijuana
allowed me to slow down and refect upon my life. It stopped
the racing thoughts of suicide. It allowed me to contemplate
all of the blessings I have in life. I have a lot to be thankful
for. Without it, there is no doubt...I probably would have
committed suicide, the pain and depression was
that bad.
Her son, Jerry, a contractor in Cali-
fornia was diagnosed with cancer in
2002. He was the one who frst spoke
of the benefts of Medical Marijuana
to his mother.
Cassie explains to me that she
read an article in the newspaper
that cites a study whose conclusion
was shocking: Medical Marijuana
slows or in some cases stops the repro-
duction of cancer cells. The National
Cancer Institute (N.C.I.), a Federal
Agency, recognizes Medical Marijuana as a
Complimentary Alternative Medicine, not a dan-
gerous drug with no value. Weve come a long way...
she sighs and continues; ...theres no telling what medical
marvels will bring, and I am ready for it...
Cassie M. died on March 16, 2011 from complications of
A.L.S. Her son Jerry attests that Medical Marijuana made her
transition easier and more comfortable. He mentions that
donations are being taken by A.L.S. Association in his moth-
ers memory at: www.alsa.org/donate.
When Cassie M. moved from Phoenix to Sedona, she never imagined that helping to
raise and teach children from dysfunctional families would be so spiritually uplifting,
fulflling and rewarding.

WE HAVE RECEIVED A FEW EMAILS ABOUT CLONING. WHAT EXACTLY IS CLON-
ING? INSTEAD OF PLANTING FROM SEED, YOU CAN TAKE A SMALL BRANCH FROM
YOUR MEDICAL MARIJUANA PLANT AND MAKE AN EXACT, GENETIC COPY. IT IS
SIMPLE TO DO ONCE YOU LEARN HOW. EVERYONE HAS A DIFFERENT TECHNIQUE
FOR CLONING. I LIKE TO KEEP EVERYTHING SIMPLE.
BY KAL EL
MATERIALS NEEDED:
n Medical marijuana plant
n Starter plugs
n Razor blade or a sharp
pair of scissors
n A propagation dome
or humidity dome
First I make sure my plant is
healthy and bushy.
1: I like to cut branches off
from a couple of different areas
on the plant. Taking branches
from the lower half of the plant
works best for me.
2: Trim off the leaves and little
side chutes so just the top set of
leaves remain. Clip the tips of
the leaves off also. Doing this
helps the plant retain moisture.
3/4: I take this branch, known
as a cutting, and scrape off the
outer skin near the bottom.
This helps it to root faster. The
water in the bottom of the tray.
Place the dome on and begin 24
hours of continuous light. In ten
to ffteen days you should begin
to see roots appearing.
8: Once roots appear, crack the
dome open so fresh air blows
across the plants for 24 hours
giving the clones a chance to
harden off, or acclimate. After
24 hours, take off the dome lid
and you should have a full tray of
new clones to plant.
9: In no time you will have a
healthy, bushy clone!
cutting is now ready for placing
into a starter plug.
5: I cut the starter plug length-
wise so you can see how the
plant sits in it.
6: After I place my cutting into
the plug, I put them into the
humidity dome. I prefer not to
use cloning gels or powders,
because many of them are not
organic and dont perform as
well as described.
7: After placing the cuttings into
the domes, spray some plain wa-
ter on them so they get nice and
moist. Place about a inch of

Medical Marijuana &
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder
P
rop 203 outlines many ailments that qualify for medi-
cal marijuana, yet its missing one in particular that
cannabis has proven to be extremely effective for:
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD is a
life-altering anxiety disorder that approximately 8% of people
in the United States will develop in their lifetime.
According to a 2008 Rand Corporation study, PTSD affects
nearly 20% of veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghani-
stan. Countless veterans from WWII, the Vietnam War and
Operation Desert Storm still suffer from the condition. Medi-
cal marijuana has long been used to treat PTSD, yet Arizona
residents cant do so legally.
PTSD is a serious medical condition. It interferes with
ones ability to function with symptoms such as fashbacks,
nightmares, social avoidance, hyperarousal, and feelings of
guilt, fear, depression, or worry. A 2010 study conducted at the
Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. found
that nearly all combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disor-
der (PTSD) also suffer from sleep problems. And according to
experts, PTSD sleep problems are diffcult to treat and can lead
to drug and alcohol abuse, even suicide.
Current treatment methods for PTSD involve a cocktail of
prescription medications including anxiolytics, sleep medica-
tions, sedative-hypnotics and antipsychotics. Vets diagnosed
with PTSD regularly take Benzodiazepines such as: Valium,
Xanax, and lorazepam, in addition to anti-depressants or
anti-anxiety medication called selective serotonin reuptake
inhibitors (SSRIs), such as Zoloft and Prozac. Finally, the sleep
medications like Trazodone or Quinine.
These medicines are often addictive and harmful to the
patients. Its time for a new and more effective medication.
According to Jonathan Shay, M.D., Ph.D., Staff Psychiatrist at
the Boston VA Outpatient Clinic, characteristics of good drugs
for combat PTSD are as follows:
Makes something better for the veteran
Does not lead to tolerance
Does not lead to abuse
Cannot be used to commit suicide
Does not require blood tests
Does not cut a person off from the
world or from himself
Causes few, bearable side-effects
Guess what? Medical marijuana meets
all of those criteria. Veterans in all medi-
cal marijuana states (and in non-medical
marijuana states where, unfortunately, they
must rely on the black market) report
that cannabis is the number one effective
drug for PTSD. A 2009 study published
BY MELISSA ANTONELLI
in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests the use of cannabinoids
may help in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder
patients. Not only is it an effective relaxant, but it also pre-
vents increased release of the hormone that the body pro-
duces in response to stress.
Unfortunately, of all of the 15 medical marijuana states,
New Mexico is the only state that explicitly names PTSD as a
qualifying condition, though it does also qualify in California
due to its very liberal medical marijuana law.
Veterans and other survivors of trauma are sometimes able
to qualify for medical cannabis because of other conditions they
have, such as chronic pain from a battle wound. But true com-
passion for those who have fought for our freedom would mean
that veterans everywhere have access to marijuana for the safe
and effective treatment of post traumatic stress disorder.
It is essential that PTSD is made a legitimate condition for
a better alternative, as the world is quickly fnding out. A proac-
tive movement is ongoing, headed by the Arizona Association
of Dispensaries, to get PTSD on the list of qualifying conditions.

Arizonas Medical Marijuana Act has a faw that
has the potential to make dispensary opera-
tion signifcantly more expensive than presently
assumed. Specifcally, the Act omits indepen-
dent contractor from the defnition of who
may be a dispensary agent.
Per A.R.S. 36-2801, dispensary is defned as a not-for-
proft entity that acquires, possesses, cultivates, manufactures,
delivers, transfers, transports, supplies, sells or dispenses
marijuana or related supplies and educational materials to
cardholders. Since a dispensary is essentially an entity, it can
only perform physical acts through licensed dispensary agents,
which are statutorily defned as a principal offcer, board
member, employee or volunteer of a nonproft medical mari-
juana dispensary who is at least twenty-one years of age and
has not been convicted of an excluded felony offense. Note
By: Gary Michael Smith, Esq.
that independent contractor is NOT in the defnition!
To control costs and to foster effciencies, some dispensa-
ries may want to contract functions like cleaning, cultivation,
waste disposal, and food-stuffs infusion. If the service provider
cannot be an independent contractor, then they must be a
volunteer, offcer, or employee of the dispensary, which means
added expense to the dispensary such as payroll, workers
compensation, employment and labor laws, and vicarious
liability. Obviously, independent contractors are an attractive
alternative, especially if the
work they provide is intermit-
tent, infrequent, or highly specialized. But, if by defnition an
independent contractor cannot be a dispensary agent, then
an independent contractor cannot acquire a dispensary agent
license; and if it cannot acquire a dispensary agent license,
then it cannot perform any of the functions of a dispensary.
Perceiving this problem, at regulation R9-17-311, ADHS
expanded the statutory defnition of dispensary agent to
Can Dispensary Agents
Be Independent Contractors?

include independent contractors. However, ADHS powers are
strictly limited by the terms of the statute that created it, and
ADHS is not authorized to amend the statute by regulation.
1

As such, ADHS attempt to expand the statutory defnition of
dispensary agent through regulation may have been an exer-
cise beyond its authority.
As there are no legislative committee minutes to refer-
ence, we cannot say that the public initiative clearly meant
to include this term in the defnition. Moreover, there is the
statutory construction doctrine of exclusio unius est exclusio
alterius, which the Arizona Supreme Court describes as the
expression of one or more items of a class and the exclusion
of other items of the same class implies the legislative intent
to exclude those items not so included.
2
Put more simply,
if there is an omission in a statute, it is presumed deliberate.
Equally fundamental is the presumption that what the Legis-
lature means, it will say.
3
For this reason, the courts have often
stated that the best and most reliable index of a statutes
meaning is its language.
4
And where the language is plain
and unambiguous, courts generally must follow the text as
written.
5
The foregoing in mind, one would be hard-pressed
to argue that A.R.S. 36-2801 is ambiguous.
So, what does this all mean? Either the statute needs
immediate amendment, or there will be unavoidable and
costly litigation regarding whether independent contractors
can acquire dispensary agent licenses. However, given that the
Voter Protection Act requires three-fourths vote in the legis-
lature before the legislature could amend the statute, amend-
ment appears near-impossible. So, think twice before relying
on the more-permissive ADHS regulations, as you might just
be violating the statutes by doing so.

What is it?
Pain is classifed by the regions of the body where it is felt:
somatic (body), visceral (organs), or neuropathic (nerves
and pain receptors). Somatic pain is easy to identify; without
looking, you know where you hurt when you are injured.
Visceral pain is not so well localized; visceral pain, coming
from your internal organs, is often referred elsewhere. This
is why gallbladder attacks often hurt in the shoulder blade,
nowhere near the gall bladder, and why some heart attacks
cause belly aches or jaw pains. Neuropathic pain is caused by
damage to pain receptors, nerves, and the brain itself.
Some of the bodys peripheral pain fbers are electrically
insulated (myelinated) and so conduct their pain informa-
tion more quickly than the non-myelinated fbers. To
generalize, the insulated A-delta fbers quickly carry pain
that is perceived as sharp, and the non-insulated C-fbers
sluggishly carry pain that is perceived as dull or burning.
pain |pn| noun: physical suffering or
discomfort caused by illness or injury...
Im sure none of us need a defnition of pain
the most common reason that patients seek medical
care, and the most common reason that patients are
prescribed narcotics or are recommended medical
marijuana. Pain receptors (nociceptors) in the skin
and organs send their information about damage and
disorders of the body through nerve fbers up the
spinal cord tracts to the brain. The brain processes
the information so that we perceive, understand, and
appreciate the pain. Only recently have molecular
imaging and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) allowed researchers to see pain.
and anti-epilepsy drugs (gabapentin). Transcutaneous
Electrical Nerve Stimulators, Spinal Cord Stimulation
implants, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustments, massage,
and plenty more. Even virtual reality is being used to treat
certain types of pain.
1
As a precursor to next months article,
we will focus mainly on analgesics.
Opiates act at specifc receptors in the brain, spinal
cord, and the intestinal tract (which is the main reason for
constipation). There are four major sub-types: OP1, OP2,
OP3, and OP4. These receptors are much more limited in
distribution compared to the ubiquitous endocannabinoid
receptors. All opiate pain medicines have serious and
sometimes deadly limitations: side effects, tolerance, and
addiction. Even a regular side effect like nausea can be
so heavy that patients cannot tolerate the dose necessary
to relieve their pain. Patients with chronic pain eventually
develop a tolerance to their pain medicines. The dose that
once alleviated their pain no longer works, and higher doses
are needed to stop the pain. The high doses are the reason
patients can develop drug dependency, addiction, overdose,
and death. Opiates in the brain stem slow and stop the
signals that make us breathe, contributing to nearly 30,000
deaths from narcotic overdoses annually, most of them from
prescription pain medications (as opposed to most of them
from prescription overdoses.
NSAIDs reduce pain by reducing the bodys production
of the infammatory chemicals thomboxane, and others.
While NSAIDs have beneft in reducing colorectal cancer,
most carry the dreaded FDA Black Box Warnings about
the increased risk of heart attack, heart failure, and stroke.
Though some NSAIDs are readily available without a pre-
scription, they are not innocuous drugs. These are a fre-
quent cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney damage,
and can have frightening side-effects when taken with
certain antibiotics called quinolones (the Cipro types).
What about something lightweight, like the medicine
cabinet stalwart Tylenol? Consider the side effects of the
active ingredient acetaminophen: hepatotoxicity (poisons
the liver), cholestasis (normal fow of bile stopped), renal
tubular necrosis (kills kidney structures), analgesic nephrop-
athy (damages kidney structures), anemia (lowers red blood
count), and hemolysis (dissolves blood cells) among many
others should put things into perspective.
Are you feeling better yet? Next month you will feel
much better. Newly medicinalized in Arizona is the ancient
pain panaceamarijuana.

Medicines can affect our perception of pain by acting
peripherally at the pain receptors and peripheral nerves
or centrally in the brain.
What have we done to relieve it?
What do physicians and healers do about pain? Mostly we
use a panoply of pain medicines, called analgesics: aceta-
minophen (Tylenol), Non-Steroidal Anti-Infammatory
Drugs (NSAIDs) (aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen), natural
and synthetic opiates (codeine, hydrocodone, morphine),

Q & A
Unreasonable Expectations
Q:
Recently Tucson,
Mirana, and several
other towns and cit-
ies have established their own set
of restrictions on the cultivation of
medical marijuana of patients and
caregivers. Most recently Ive seen
headlines stating that the town of
Gilbert is trying to restrict patient
and caregiver cultivation by using
the same guidelines that proposition
203 used to restrict dispensaries.
Even suggesting that patients and
caregivers be required to lease a
light industrial or commercial prop-
erty seems unreasonable.
My question is this: with no ver-
biage in the proposition that allows
for cities and towns to create and
enforce these restrictions, how are
they getting away with this? What
steps need to be taken to protect
patient and caregiver cultivation
rights? Is this not exactly why we
have proposition 105?
Please offer the patients and
caregivers some insight as to what
legal authority these towns and cit-
ies have to do this and what legal
authority we have to stop them.
Concerned Caregiver
A:
Thanks for the question dear
reader! It brings us back to the
ever important issue of governmental
authority and the practical diffculties
of preventing overreaching regulations.
Faithful readers of this column will
remember one of my mantras: there
is a huge difference between the letter
and theory of the law and the practical
realities of its application. This question
highlights that difference perfectly.
First the theoretical: Proposition 203
gives cities and counties express author-
ity to pass reasonable zoning restrictions
regulating the cultivation of MMJ. Thus
cities certainly can use that authority
to restrict where cultivation facilities are
located within their jurisdictions.
The issue gets a little hazier when we
are talking about regulation of caregiver
and particularly patient cultivation. The
answer lies in an interpretation of both
what is reasonable and what is within the
proper extent of governmental zoning
authority. Regarding the latter, case law
has given a broad interpretation as to
what constitutes zoning authority: any-

Glass instruments litter every smoke shop in all variations.
They exist with big bubbles, twisted tubes and eye-catching
colors; endless attachments to enhance the experience in any
way possible.
Fred Schorsch, the owner of local producer Home
Blown Glass, provides a unique product he calls the slider
system: a new twist on a familiar product sometimes called
the paperless cigarette, EZ Slide, glass blunt, and most simply
the Slider.
Schorschs take on this item brings exciting new features
with the addition of a back-loading system that allows users to
expel the chaff out of the back of the tube. Other than leav-
ing the inhalation area much cleaner, this enables the user to
experience a wider array of tastes through the improvements
Home Blown Glass has designed.
HBG also takes time to demonstrate the layer-caking
preaches of a real dangerinhalation of glass dust from
imported pieces.
Before entering the production area, Kulow quickly
explained that importing glass pipes is illegal; there is of
course a convenient loophole: dont create a hole at the bot-
tom of the bowl, making the pipe impossible to be used for
the intended purpose. The people who import these pieces
then drill a hole themselves, creating a furry of asbestos-like
dust that is extremely diffcult to polish off the inside of the
pipe. Despite this, imported pipes are selling faster than ever
due to the low pricing possible only on machine-blown, mass-
produced glass.
The greatest obstacle Chameleon faces today is the en-
dangered status of American-based glassware producers. As
Chameleon and Kulow are aware of, the demand for a more
expensive piece of glassware will appeal only to those who
plan on using it more than once.
These repeat customers are the driving force behind the
success of Chameleon and Blaze, and Kulow explains that
the employees are whats really important. And hes right.
The cast of characters working in the hot lab present an

Working with the hotter-than-lava glass is not an easyor
safething to do, so it takes the type of personality with a
hardiness like few others. This makes for a varied and unique
workplace, where the employees work in eight-hour shifts
under great big gleaming hoods to provide ventilation for
safety reasons.
After the exciting spectacle of the workshop, we are
taken to a prototype case where designs go before they are
tested for larger production roles. There are oddities here
with every spiky, winged, and bulbous piece the mind can
imagine. Kulow shows me out, but not before Im introduced
to a few more employees, each one expressing a true depth
of passion for their work.

Chameleon is another local purveyor of glassware, and
they invited this reporter inside the nondescript, local head-
quarters to see frsthand the environment in which so many
of these pieces are given life.
I was greeted at the door by partners Jeff Schrabach and
Ken Kulow, of Chameleon glass. Ken learned his trade by
making light bulbs for General Electric, something that he
says was enjoyable for a time, and eventually gave him the
skills necessary to bring Chameleon to a new level along with
Schrabach, who bolsters the relationship with a wide range of
business and glass-working skills.
Schrabach and Kulow also run local fxture Blaze Smoke
Shops in Phoenix and Tempe, where they pride themselves
on the quality of products carried in the store. Chameleon
glass can always be seen here, as well as other hard-to-fnd
luxury brands like Toro and Roor. Discerning customers will
be glad to know there is a price-matching policy here for
someone who fnds the same piece cheaper elsewhere.
Kulow and his associates are very vocal about their inten-
tions as a brand, and staunchly against the importing of any
kind of glass smoking device. While consumers purchasing

How to tell if your Medical

Marijuana Plant is

a Male or a Female
M
any new growers have
problems telling the dif-
ferences between male
and female medical marijuana plants.
The male plants produce pollen which
pollinates the fowers of the female
plant. Once pollinized, the female
will produce seeds. If the female plant
isnt pollinized, the fower/buds continue to develop and
produce THC. Female plants that are not pollinized are
referred to as sensimilla (without seeds). Usually 40-50%
of all plants are male.
The spotting of males is one of the most diffcult things
to do, even as a seasoned grower. The best may have to wait
until the tell-tale signs appear. These signs for males are
growing what looks like a crab claw,
followed by a small bunch of grapes. It
will have no white hairs coming out of
it. Females will have no grapes and will
have two small white hairs poking out
of the calyx.
Males are usually culled, except
those used for breeding after their sex
has been determined, but before the pollen is shed. Remove
males as soon as you know they are males. If you can get rid
of them as soon as possible, it is less likely they will spread
pollen to your females and ruin your crop by making seeds.
Any further questions, email them to me at:
kalel@thegreenleafaz.com.

Hemp is of frst necessity to the
wealth & protection of the country.
Thomas Jefferson
HEMP
HISTORY
PART 1
IN THE BEGINNING,
THERE WAS
BY SNOWDEN BISHOP,
AZGreen Magazine
21 JUNE 2011
|
THE GREEN LEAF
Hemp is as much part of the fabric of our country as the
American fag, which Betsy Ross frst sewed from pieces of
hemp cloth. Benjamin Franklins famed kite was fown with a
piece of hemp string. The Declaration of Independence was
frst drafted on hemp paper, as was the U.S. Constitution.
Presidents George Washington, John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson farmed hemp as a cash crop. Hemp canvas covered
wagons as American settlers crossed the continental divide
and Levis made of hemp outftted miners during the Great
American Gold Rush. Henry Ford, a hemp farmer, designed
his frst Model-T using hemp composites and ran its engine
using hemp-oil fuel. Moms made apple pies with hemp flling
and doctors cured headaches and other ailments with a
myriad of hemp compounds and tinctures.
Hemp grows rapidly in adverse climate conditions
without any pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers. It
can be used to manufacture nearly anything conventionally
made of petrochemicals, synthetic fbers, plastic and wood.
Composites made of hemp are stronger, more durable and
environmentally safer than any synthetic or wood compos-
ites on the market. It is a carbon consuming plant with
remedial root systems that can transform toxic brown felds
into fertile soil. It has premium value as a food source rich
in essential nutrients, fatty acids, protein, fber and healing
properties. According to a number of environmental and
scientifc sources, hemp has the potential to revitalize our
economy, reduce our dependence on foreign oil, alleviate
world food shortages, slow deforestation and minimize
greenhouse gas emissions.
An article published in a 1938 issue of Popular Mechan-
ics predicted that hemp would become the worlds frst
billion-dollar crop. As predicted, it has, and continues to
sustainably provide proftable returns for farmers through-
out the world except here in the United States, where
farming hemp is illegal.
Ironically, the United States is the worlds largest import-
er of hemp products despite the prohibition. Deemed safe
for public use by the FDA, USDA and FTC, imported hemp
foods, textiles and industrial hemp products are readily
available to consumers throughout the U.S. Yet, farmers have
been forbidden to grow the proftable crop in the U.S. since
1937, when it was banned by congress a ruling that has
perplexed historians, environmentalists, scientists, doctors,
farmers, politicians and economists ever since.
Most people erroneously confuse hemp with marijuana.
It is erroneous because, while hemp and marijuana are of the
same species, cannabis sativa L., they are distinctively sepa-
rate plant varieties differentiated by vastly dissimilar proper-
ties and uses. The most important distinction between the
two lies in their levels of delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol
(THC), the psychoactive ingredient that produces the high
for which marijuana is famous. Because hemp contains only
trace levels of THC, it would not produce even a remotely
desirable effect for the recreational drug user, and in fact
would induce nothing more than a bad headache. The
chemist has aided in conserving natural resources by devel-
oping synthetic products to supplement or wholly replace
natural products. Lammont Du Pont 1939
CONFUSION, CONSPIRACY OR COINCIDENCE?
Origins of the widespread confusion can be traced back to a
well executed, but factually misleading propaganda campaign
designed to demonize cannabis in preparation for a pending
legislative measure banning the crop.
Propagated by Hearst publications and backed by Trea-
sury Secretary Andrew Mellon (former DuPont CEO and
Standard Oil tycoon), the campaign coined Reefer Madness
omitted any distinction between hemp and marijuana. Laden
with racial undertones, the campaign characterized immigrant
farm workers and African Americans toking on marijuana
cigarettes with boldly-written captions stating that the killer
weed from Mexico was responsible for wild and crazy
behavior that lead to widespread violence and murderous
rampages in southern farm towns.
To anyone familiar with the psychoactive mellowing
effects of marijuana, and to any farmer knowledgeable about
the distinction between the two varieties of cannabis, the
propaganda campaign might have appeared ridiculous.
However, the campaign launched on the heels of alcohol
Prohibition and The Great Depression; just in time for
wartime economic recovery, this distracted the public long
enough to allow discrete lawmakers to avoid any would-be
public protest of the ban.
Passage of The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, which banned
use of all species of cannabis and subjected industrial hemp
farmers to expensive taxes, went virtually unnoticed except
by farmers who until then enjoyed proftable returns from
such a resilient crop, and doctors who regularly prescribed
marijuana-based medications.
According to an editorial published in a 1937 edition of
the Journal of the American Medical Association(AMA), the
AMA was against the bill. AMA representative Dr. William C.
Woodward testifed before Congress that the AMA had
Humans began using hemp more than 12,000 years ago. Evidence of the frst human
industry exists in a piece of hemp fber dating back to 4,000 B.C. Since then hemp, a
versatile, non-psychotropic strain of the infamous cannabis plant, has been one of historys
most widely used plants with diverse applications ranging from food and medicine to
textiles, rope, paper, and in the last century, biofuel building materials and composites.

Bubble
Hash
by Kal El
Bubble hash is created
when you use the frosty
trimmings from your buds
and mix it with ice, water
and some screened bags.
What follows is a step-by-
step guide from an expert.
1. What I like to do frst is take
only the frost covered stuff from my
trimmingsnot the big fans and
other leavesand freeze it. This keeps
the trimmings from drying out, and
prevents plant material from getting
into your hash. You put your bag (I use
Bubble Bags here but there are others
out there) over your can, then proceed
to add the ingredients. I do this pro-
cess in stages, adding equal amounts
of trim and ice until I have the bucket
flled. When the bucket is full, add the
cold water.
2. Now comes the stirring and agita-
tion process.
3. After I stir for 5 minutes, the
mixture should be a bit foamy. I love
knocking all that frost off the leafy bits
and into the ice water. These trichomes
gather at the bottom of the bag for
later extraction.
4. After letting the mixture sit for
thirty minutes, I lift out the frst bag and
let the water fow through the screen
into the next bag. Dont throw away
your excess trimmings! They can be
used later for oil extraction. After you
strain each bag, the quality and purity of
the bubble hash will increase the fner
the screens get. I usually start with a one
gallon drum, but sometimes use a fve
gallon drum for larger amounts. Using
an electric drill with a paint mixing
attachment is helpful for stirring the
larger amounts.
5. Put each bag into the freezer for
ffteen minutes before peeling your
bubble hash from the screens at the
bottom of the bags. After you gather all
your bubble hash and let it dry out, you
will have great-tasting, full-melt good-
ness. You can load your favorite tool
with this alone, or slide a layer over the
top of some regular buds. Questions
can be directed toward me at:

With the Arizona Department of Health
Services (ADHS) opening the doors on April
14, 2011 to patients applying for their state ID
card, Arizonas Medical Marijuana Program will
soon be kicking of into high gear with patients
or their designated caregiver chomping at the
bit to start the frst harvest. With no dispen-
saries as of yet, home cultivation is the only
option for patients, making proper education
about the process more necessary than ever.
The opportunity to grow cannabis in a legal manner is a
wonderful gift that should be used wisely. Marijuana is dioe-
cious, which is a fancy word for a plant with both male and
female fowers. We are all familiar with the female plant; she is
the object of desire and open to the centerfold of any magazine
devoted to cannabis culture. These girls dazzle onlookers,
displaying their bounty in all its stunning glory.
Marijuana has been growing on the planet for tens of
thousands of years and until 1977, the majority of cannabis
was grown outdoors, under natural conditions. Until the late
seventies, pot has been grown remarkably similar to how our
founding fathers grew their hemp plants (which is the same
plant as marijuana). If you wanted to grow in the past you
started with seeds, generally from the Sativa plant, and you
only grew outdoors. Marijuana grown in Mexico was consid-
ered schwag (bud of a lower THC percentage) containing
3-5% THC on average. Other strains like the now-legendary
Acapulco Gold averaged about 8%. The average price of mari-
juana in the 1970s was $30 an ounce and your baggie would
contain buds, shake (leaves and stems) and even seeds.
When THC was identifed in 1964, the ability to test
the potency of marijuana with gas chromatography was eas-
ily accomplished in laboratories. In 1978 Michael Starks, a
researcher out of the University of Berkeley, published Mari-

juana Chemistry: Genetics Processing and Potency. This book
remains the gold standard for potency testing information even
today. The fndings are quite interesting and remain applicable
to this day:
The average person will get high on marijuana
containing 1.1 THC% (This is not a typo!).
Potency of the plant does not necessarily
increase continually as it gets older, but will
often undergo constant variation.
Males often equal or exceed females
in cannabinoid content, especially
in the high potency strains.
In the late 1970s the Indica genetics (Afghan, Skunk
and Kush) were introduced to the general public and
marijuana cultivation changed forever. Breeders discov-
ered they could cross Sativa and Indica to create new and
exotic hybrid strains. Coupled with new technology (HID
lighting and hydroponic growing equipment), growers
soon discovered that with indoor growing it was possible
to separate males from females. This technique resulted in
sensimilla, a Spanish word that means without seeds.
The ability to have female-only genetic replicas
(clones) of prized plants fueled the demand for marijuana
grown indoors. Male plants became viewed as a nuisance
because they would pollinate the females and lower the
yield of sensimilla by creating seedy pot.
Debate is constant on growing techniques, conditions
and locations. Personally, I strongly urge you to consider
growing outdoors, starting from seeds. Having males in
your garden will only enhance your breeding program
as males have all the same desired cannabinoids, includ-
ing Cannabiodiol, which promotes healing and is present
in the leaves of the plant. The disadvantage of male plants
lies in the leaves, as they are not easily smoked. However,
these same leaves can be used for making a very potent
cannabutter.
The general assumption that male plants are only good
for breeding programs and need to be culled is fostering
a wasteful disrespect of the plant. End this sexist cannabis
myth by spreading this information around.

Rapid Growth:
With the right conditions, your cannabis plants should really take
off and start growing like, well, weeds! When your exotic weeds
reach about 12 inches tall, check for root swirls by popping the
pot plant out of the pot. If lots of roots are present, its time to
re-pot for the last time. This time, get 10 gallon planting contain-
ers or buckets. Add lots of extra holes in the bottom and sides
with an electric drill.
Fertilize your plants with a mix for vegetative growth just
once this month before you transplant it to the fnal pot. Always
moisten the soil before adding your fertilizer.
Dont forget to raise your lights as your plants grow taller.
Boys or Girls?
Once your plants are 6 to 8 weeks old, you can identify with about
85% accuracy which are going to be boys and which will be girls.
Boys are bad news; they will impregnate the females and lessen
their quality and yield. Cannabis farmers are only interested in
the girls and the magical buds they produce.
To check for sex, count the sets of branches (2 to a set)
from the bottom of the plant and check out the areas where the
branches connect to the stem, 4 or 5 sets from the base of the
plant. There, you should note tiny sexual structures (see illustra-
tion), identifying either a male or female plant.

Highern Chef
Caramel Corn
Ingredients:
7 quarts plain popped popcorn
2 cups brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup MMJ butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla
Place the popped popcorn into two shallow greased baking
pans. You may use roasting pans, or disposable roasting
pans. Add the peanuts to the popped corn. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Combine the
brown sugar, corn syrup, MMJ butter and salt in a saucepan.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring enough to blend.
Once the mixture begins to boil, stir it constantly for the
next fve minutes.
Remove from the heat, and stir in the baking soda and
vanilla. The mixture will be light and foamy. Immedi-
ately pour over the popcorn in the pans, and stir to coat.
Dont worry too much at this point about getting all of
the corn coated.
Bake for about an hour, removing the pans, and giving
them each a good stir every 15 minutes. Line the counter
top with wax paper. Dump the corn out onto the wax paper
and separate the pieces. Allow to cool completely, then store
in airtight containers.

and brown sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs and vanilla
until fuffy.
Stir together four, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually beat into butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins.

1/4 cup MMJ olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 medium vine ripe tomatoes, cut into wedges
3/4 cup thinly sliced red onion

Medicated Whoopie Pies
Ingredients
For Pies
2 cups all-purpose four
1/2 cup dutch/processed cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted MMJ butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted MMJ butter, softened
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
2 cups marshmallow cream such as Marshmallow Fluff
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Cakes:

Whisk together four, cocoa, baking soda, and salt in a
bowl. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a separate,
smaller bowl. Beat together MMJ butter and brown sugar in
a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until
light brown and fuffy, about 3 minutes in a stand mixer or
5 minutes with a hand-held mixer, then add egg, continu-
ing to beat until it is well combined. Reduce your speed to
the low setting and alternately mix in four mixture and
buttermilk in batches, beginning and ending with four,
and mixing until your batter is smooth. Spoon 1/4-cup
mounds of batter about 2 inches apart onto 2 buttered,
large baking sheets. Bake in upper and lower thirds of
oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking,
until tops are puffed and cakes spring back when touched,
10 to 12 minutes. Move to a rack to cool completely.
Filling:
Mix together MMJ butter, confectioners sugar, marshmal-
low, and vanilla in a bowl with electric mixer at medium
speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.
Spread a rounded tablespoon flling on fat sides of half of
cakes and top with another cake.

thing concerning the use of land that relates in any way to the
public health safety and welfare.
Zoning authority not only encompasses where activities can
occur, it also extends to what buildings can look like or when
they can be open. So, for example, if a city decides it doesnt like
a certain style of building it is within their authority to restrict
that style because visual aesthetic is within the public welfare.
And if you dont like their decision, your recourse is through the
ballot box and the democratic process.
When it comes to cultivation of MMJ there is certainly the
potential for health and safety concerns. Therefore, it is well
within zoning authority to regulate (within reason) where and
how that activity occurs. Of course reasonable people often
disagree about what is reasonable! With regards to caregiver
cultivation I think you would have a hard time arguing that it is
unreasonable to prohibit this in residential areas (5 patients x 12
plants each may present a safety issue for a neighborhood). How-
ever, forcing caregivers to rent extensive and expensive industrial
space might go too far.
With regards to patient self-cultivation I think there is a
strong argument that they should be able to do this in their
home so long as reasonable precautions are taken (i.e. a locked
and enclosed space, limited to a certain size). Forcing patients to
rent industrial or commercial space seems patently impossible to
me. Unfortunately, at the end of the day what is reasonable isnt
really the biggest issue.
become aware only two days before that the so called killer
weed from Mexico was indeed cannabis, a benign drug that
had been prescribed by doctors for centuries.
Strangely, in 1942 a U.S. government flm titled Hemp
for Victory, the very substance outlawed in 1937, was lauded
as the one resource that could help the U.S. win World War II.
Some historians have attributed hemp prohibition to the
issues of racism, immigration and cultural inequities preva-
lent during the era, evidenced in the Reefer Madness
campaign propagated by Hearst.
Since American jobs were scarce during the Great
Depression, and a large percentage of marijuana users
happened to be migrant farm workers, some theories specu-
late that marijuana prohibition was enacted to preserve jobs
for U.S. citizens that otherwise were given to immigrants.
Next month we will delve into the conspiracy theories
involving prohibition: which ones are myth, and which have
a foundation of physical evidence to support them.
Now to the practical: The biggest issue here is the reality and
feasibility of challenging a zoning ordnance. If you are unable
to sway elected offcials through the public input process then
you really only have two options. The frst would be to attempt a
referendum on the ordinance.
If you can get enough petition signatures you can send the
specifc issue to the voters to decide. Unfortunately, gathering
enough petitions in time to force a referendum often proves too
expensive and impractical for most issues.
The last remaining option is to sue the City. Again, this takes
signifcant time and fnancial resources that most individuals
are unable or unwilling to commit. My hope is that as the MMJ
industry develops in Arizona, we can fund a responsible and
active industry group (like the AZMMA) to take on these fghts
and keep regulation reasonable for the sake of the patients.
