Letter from the Editor
Happy February!! I hope you all manage to stay dry and cozy this month as we
prepare for spring….

9 15
So many things happened right as we went to press. The Los Angeles City Council
passed and terribly written and completely unworkable, not to mention most likely
unenforceable set of regulations regarding medical cannabis. The law awaits the
Mayor’s signature. However, most medical cannabis dispensing collective operators
in L.A. have pledged to fight these new r3egulations tooth and claw. It seems to me
that instead of collecting a decent sized tax revenue from collectives, not to men-
tion the jobs that collectives provide, the City of LA will now have spend money that
it doesn’t have to fight it out in court. Shameful.
25 35 Also shameful is the case of Virgil Grant. Mr. Grant is an African American man who
organized a few collectives in LA, mostly in underserved parts of town, like Comp-
ton and the Crenshaw area. He has five kids and is facing up to ten years in Federal
prison. The judge and the DEA’s lawyers are squabbling now over how long his sen-
tence is going to be. He is scheduled to be sentenced in March. Our thoughts and

were also going to have representatives speak on behalf of the community. It
was a great turnout.

Then I had to get the press on board. Kris Hermes from ASA helped me
with contacts and helped edit the media advisory for the event. A good media
advisory will include a short summary (Who, What, Where, When and Why) and
contact information. We put out the advisory the Thursday morning before the
event, as Friday was New Year’s Day. We followed it up with phone contacts to
the entire local and some national media outlets. The alert was sent out again
on Friday. On the morning of the event, the alert was again sent out and an-
other round of calls was made to ensure that the message was received. There
was a great response and it paid off. Several outlets showed up to film the
event and do pieces on the action that reflected the underlying message that
medical cannabis patients and providers were a vibrant part of the community
and that ignoring or belittling our cause was no longer acceptable. I also did
an in-depth interview with radio station KPFA on the Sunday Evening News
segment the night before the event. The message was heard loud and clear.

Throughout the process we blanketed email lists,


websites, forums, and meetings with information about the
event. The event had become so well known that I was re-
ceiving messages from groups who were disappointed they
were not more directly involved, including a representative
from the Libertarian Party that was insistent that this event
needed a Libertarian presence. I assured these groups that
they were not excluded, but that the event was orchestrated
to represent a broader base of patients and providers, and
was by no means meant to exclude anyone. It was great to Rebecca Kaplan

He calls it “Kryptonite.” In comic books, green kryptonite can kill Superman. This Kryptonite, however, will have you feeling super-
powered yourself. Let’s hear from the grower and photographer, DoobieDuck:
"This strain is a cross of Trainwreck and Bluemoonshine. Bluemoonshine=Moonshine from Dutch Passion, a super potent Blueberry
Indica. It is the sort of cannabis that energizes me and jump starts my creativity. As a med patient having to live with chronic pain from
several spine surgeries, and as an artist, I find smoke of this sort that sparks my interest in a creative project is very useful. I do not feel or
think about my pain issues when my mind is occupied doing a creative activity. Non-patients, artists, musicians and the like, would also
love this strain, as audio perception is fantastic, visual perception is increased, and as I said, it jump starts creativity. Thank you and your
magazine for the interest in my strains and images." —DoobieDuck
He bought the seeds years ago, and this strain maybe lost to all but a handful of growers. It makes sense. Kryptonite is supposed to be
rare….editor@westcoastcannabis. com
