Sensi Star

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Sensi Star is a very powerful indica, the bud is a contrast of light and dark green, with light and darker brownish hairs. It is very dense, compact with good coat of trichomes. After opening the container, a burst of fresh lemon zest, and out of the bag the bud smelled very rich and earthy. The smoke was on the harsh side, with a sour after taste. After a toke, I was in a more compact, and simple world, with a powerful head high, that puts you in a more comfortable or more relaxed state that does not couch-lock. The high is almost euphoric, things seemed much more alive, and vibrant when i stepped outside. Patients who would benefit from this strain the most are those with glaucoma, migraines, headaches, and anxiety problems.

Michigan Medical Marijuana Act

Saturday, April 5th, 2008


With the initiative known as the Michigan Medical Marijuana Act, being sponsored by the Michigan Coalition for compassionate Care (MCCC), the act was passed to legislature, if the legislature does not act upon it, it will go to the voters in November. With more then a 2 to 1 ratio in which the people voted YES for medical use of marijuana, the act will surely pass in November. Michigan will be the first mid-west state to approve of medical marijuana, and the second largest state with 10 million residents. The act will:

-Allow Seriously ill patients to use medical marijuana with their Doctors approval.
-Protect those seriously ill patients from being arrested for their medicine.
-Allow Patients, and caregivers to cultivate marijuana for medical use with a limit on how much can grow.
-Create medical marijuana cards, so that patients can easily be identified by law enforcement.
-Allow those who are arrested for marijuana to discuss their medical use for it.
-Continuing certain prohibitions for medical use of marijuana as, public use of marijuana and driving under the influence of marijuana.

Even though this act will only allow those with serious illness’s to have medical marijuana for medicine, I still agree that this bill is a big step not only for the marijuana community, but also for the future economic status of the US. Having many uses and applications, if marijuana is legalized, it can then be taxed, even though the progress might be very small, it is still progress towards a debt free America.

Cheap And Easy DIY Aeroponics–Less than 30 mins!

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Here is a great helpful article that can help the community of growers. Aeroponics!

So far, from a lot of research and personal experience, Aeroponics has proved its worth! Aeroponics is quite different, It uses the same aspects as DWC ( Deep Water Culture). This is actually so much more easier to take care of, No more soil and slow growth! Get prepared for amazing results when using Aeroponics.

Aeroponcis is the process of growing plants in air or mist environment without the use of soil or an aggregate medium. Aeroponic culture differs from both hydroponics and in-vitro (Plant tissue culture) growing. Unlike hydroponics, which uses water as a growing medium and essential minerals to sustain plant growth, aeroponics is conducted without a growing medium, but just an anchor medium such as Hydrotons(clay pebbles) This allows a lot of root growth and FAST plant growth. The speed compared to soil growing is amazing. (more…)

MK-Ultra

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

This strain is crossed with O.G Kush and G-13, two potent strains make this a heavy hitting indica. The buds are very tight and compact, light green with a heavy coating of crystals all over the bud. It has light amber to brown hairs bursting out of the bud. The calyxes are shaped beautifully with each one looking like a well crafted mini vase. It smelled and tasted like fresh herbs and spices with a very small trail of citrus in the back of the throat. The smoke was harsh and if you have weak lungs I recommend you don’t take a massive hit or else you’ll be coughing your brains out. Like I said this ones a heavy hitter, it has a numbing hypnotic high that had me locked to the couch for a good hour. The come down was slow and heavy, great for any patient who is looking for a strain to just relax the whole body. Overall it was outstanding and make sure you don’t have anything planned before you start toking on this one.

New York And Medical Marijuana

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

 

As most of the public in New York know, that the Rockefeller drug policies are just unfair and insane. Passed in 1973 at the urging of Gov. Nelson Rockefeller, New York’s Rockefeller drug laws established harsh mandatory sentences for people convicted of selling or possessing relatively small amounts of schedule I drugs(Marijuana, Cocaine, etc.) This “Drop the Rock” Campaign has been going on since the early 1990’s. The fall of Eliot Spitzer caused by his prostitution scandals, shines new light upon drug reform. Not only has this been a spending issue for the state, but also a widely known racial bias for the Blacks and Latinos. Now with a state budget, it is only right to reduce the spending of these harsh drug policies, and accept the truth that the “Drug War” is just wasteful. This can open the door to Medical Marijuana with the help of David Paterson. (more…)

Strawberry Cough

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008


This is a very heavy sativa i got to counter the kush and it’s been doin me right in the mornings. Incense like aroma. Very piney taste. Overall great smoke, great strain. A very productive plant of high value as a medicinal herb. Bred for its euphoric, anti-anxiety high, this mostly sativa (approx. 75% Sativa 25% Indica) produces a comfortable and enjoyable, yet powerful, experience. The plants have long branches, making this beauty a great plant for “sea of green” gardens. The quality is in the experience. i would suggest this strain to any patient who is looking for something that will provide pain relief, as well with relief from sleeplessness, and also headaches. this is a very verstile strain. *STRAIN UPDATED

Hash Plant

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008
It’s difficult to pin-point a definitive smell to this bud. If it came down to it, I’d have to say it smells like a watered-down dollop of Heinz 57. Isn’t pleasant at all which makes me question why I bought this strain in the first place. Also, the looks aren’t very flattering, compact buds with minimal visible trichomes ( but their there).

The earthy flavor of the smoke left something to be desired, a taste similar to chlorophyll (a likely symptom of improper curing.) A good aspect about Hash Plant is its very resinous nature, so you know the end result will be just fine. The high is very nice. It starts in the chest area and gradually works its way up north. The stone lasts for more then a hour.

If you don’t like all that glitz and glamor with rock star buds like kush, then Hash Plant might be right for you. Although it’s over-priced, doesn’t taste very good, and is kind of malodorous; it tries to compensate in the effects department and does so admirably.

-Good body high
-Horrible taste/smell
-good to gain an appetite

Should Medical Marijuana Patients Be Denied Work? (Take the poll!)

Should Medical Marijuana Be Allowed In The Working Community?

View Results

Loading ... Loading …

It has always bothered me that at most working facilities, Medical Marijuana is not accepted as medicine, therefore still being considered a dangerous drug. What all this means is that employers are faced with a real dilemma. They are expected to work with their ill or injured employees. Yet at the same time, they have a responsibility to provide a safe workplace - but now, with the presence of a drug that’s not well understood. The two court cases may clarify the balance of these responsibilities.

This leads to a person either getting fired, or not hired at all. When jobs require drug tests, and find that THC (the main chemical in Marijuana) has been found in the test, Medical Marijuana cannot be used as an excuse.

There are exceptions due to working environment and are understandable and of course many jobs require that no medicine that can cause ones abilities to be impaired to be used in the working area due to machinery or something related in that nature. But many people are not even able to get jobs due to this.

I just really want to find out who really does believe that Marijuana should just be kept for home medicinal use, or should be accepted by the public and the working community as a medical requirement by a person. Take the poll and vote, lets see what everyone thinks about this one!

Kali Mist

Saturday, March 29th, 2008

This bud is mainly a sativa, 90% to 10% indica. This bud is fluffy, but quite dense, with a pale white shade of trichomes covering it. The crystals are very long and colored with a light orange to amber coloring. The trichomes make this strain look pale white/green, but not much signs of calyxes in this strain. There is a fresh scent of haze with traits of citrus, almost like an orange. The taste was great with an orange taste and a hazey after burn. It has a very trippy visual high, you can feel it start to creep up on you and takes control of your body and eyes. It has a psychedelic feel throughout the long lasting high with a soft and smooth comedown. Overall, another sativa strain that was pretty impressive.

-Great for headaches
-Long lasting
-THC Content: 14-16%
