A new Senate Bill hit the legislative floor in Colorado on Jan. 20, proposing new policies and restrictions regarding the way physicians prescribe medical marijuana to patients. Senate Bill 109 states that — if approved by the legislature — new rules and standards will be set forth on how doctors issue registry identification cards to medical ganja patients, and it will also create more strict sanctions against physicians who violate the bill. Additionally, the bill would create a medical marijuana review board, required to review medical marijuana requests from patients under the age of 21, to determine if the patient has a medical condition that would prompt them to use cannabis.
This bill is current as we go to press. It will be amended several times before it is potentially approved by Colorado’s General Assembly. “I think there are some positives and negatives to the bill. Generally we applaud the legislature for trying to regulate the industry. Our main concern is the welfare of patients,” said Brian Vicente, executive director of Sensible Colorado, a non-profit organization that lobbies on behalf of medical marijuana patients. “Our primary concern is making sure patients have access to medical marijuana. At the same time, there is a broad local and national discussion about the need to re-examine our marijuana laws for patients and non-patients.” Vicente feels that the current law does make it pretty easy for those seeking recreational use of cannabis to access the drug, therefore he thinks tighter regulations aren’t necessarily a bad idea. Yet, he also thinks the bill needs some major amendments before he completely supports the legislation. “We are absolutely opposed to that board. My understanding is that it will likely come out of the bill in committee. That board would add an additional hurdle to patients in need of medical marijuana,” he said. For example, if a 20-year-old AIDS patient needs access to medical pot, the review board would further complicate the patient’s quest to obtain the medicine. “I think it fundamentally weakens the doctor-patient relationship,” Vicente said. Essentially, the bill is trying to create ways to limit the recreational use of marijuana. Many feel that marijuana should be legal across the board. Colorado Attorney Rob Corry told Kush-Colorado that pot should be accessible to everyone, otherwise it creates a gray area that will always be questioned by the government — an issue that might also be addressed throughout this year’s legislative session and the amendment process. Advocacy groups still have ample opportunity to lobby for their initiatives. For now, Senate Bill 109 is the only bill concerning medical marijuana that’s hit the desk of Colorado legislatures. The bill has several House and Senate sponsors including Sen. Chris Romer, D-Denver, who has long advocated stricter sanctions regarding medical marijuana.

Strain Review: Blue Dream Life’s A Dream, Smoke It Up
It’s the perfect A high from the Blue Dream strain makes you feel like you’re up in the clouds. Above all the BS in life. You’re getting work done and making stuff setting: sunny day, happen. Putting life in motion. Living the dream, with nothing but clear blue skies ahead.
headphones on, Blue Dream is a member of the sativa species of Cannabis. A sativa high tends to involve more thinking, productivity, and increased energy in joint in hand, general. Significant levels of pain and nausea are usually also curbed. And while an indica strain will help you to relax, de-stress, chill out, and/or daydreaming about overcome insomnia, a pure sativa like this should inspire exercise, a deep conversation, or an ambitious to-do list. everything and Fits of laughter and an overwhelming sense of well being are some other nothing at the nice side effects.

14 kush Alternatively, with an indica you’re likely to dream while sleeping, although you probably won’t remember those dreams upon awakening.
On the darker side of the Blue Dream, and sativa for that matter, many people become overwhelmed with paranoia, Blue Dream anxiety, and an increased heart rate. This can be a bit frightening, but shouldn’t last more than 10-15 minutes. Life’s A Dream, Smoke It Up An indica’s negatives would likely point towards laziness, forgetfulness, and a lack of motivation. Depending on what you’re needing, these negatives can quickly become refreshing positives.
Marijuana is a person-to-person, situation-to-situation, strain-to-strain experience. Your high will often depend on the mental state, physical condition, and environment you bring to the table. And of course, one’s genetic makeup and health are undeniable factors. But when everything is right and you know it, it’s alllll good... and you know it.
Overall a very pleasant experience is in store for the Blue Dream toker. It is a fairly cheap sativa, averaging around $45 for an eighth at most established dispensaries. Go ride the Blue Dream wave!

GROWER'S GROVE: “Tips for pruning Tips”
When pruning, keep these simple steps in mind: 1.) The beginning stage Pruning a growing marijuana plant is an easy way of controlling uneven growth without seriously harming the plant. Ideally developed from a clone, you’d want to wait until by Josh Kaplan at least two weeks, or until after the first five-bladed leaves With any landscape, tree or shrub, pruning have formed (this is when the vegetative stage begins). Many can be advantageous to the growth of the plant. growers choose to wait until the fourth or fifth week to prune the growing tips, to allow development of lower branches, thus This holds true for our favorite plant in this wild filling in horizontal space. kingdom - marijuana. 2.) Have a game plan Pruning is the removal or reduction of certain It is always better to plan a pruning strategy for your plant parts that are not required, that are no developing plants, rather than haphazardly clipping off growth longer effective, or that are of no use to the plant. on an irregular basis. Each time a growing tip is removed, the It is done to supply additional energy for the plant takes a few days to recover before its growth resumes. development of flowers, fruits, and limbs that The marijuana with the greatest potency is found in the remain on the plant. growing tips, and by the three month mark, they should make a high quality of smoke. So again, try not to mess with them Each time a growing tip is clipped, the stem too much, and your patience should pay off. Pruning is fine branches into two shoots, which begin to grow at any stage of the plant’s development, just don’t overdo it. from the nearest leaf axils (the area where the Severe pruning can harm the growth of your plant. Remember, leaf and stem join). By pruning your plants, you you just want to eliminate the excess dead leaves that are will be improving its health, while increasing its potentially sapping all the light, and blocking other leaves in the process. value. And let’s face it, the better your plant, the better its value - right? 3.) Be patient and understanding with your plant (‘node’ what we mean??) So now that we have our objectives and a few The amount of new growth formed with continued basic principles down, let’s keep in mind the pruning is limited by the genetic structure of the seed, and most important factor in all of this - common the conditions of the environment. It’s not recommended that sense. Basically, use your head, and don’t get too you prune every node in a developing plant. Try to prune overzealous with the scissors. every second or third node to allow the plant time to recover. Wait for the new node to start growing before clipping the
18 kush young branch a few millimeters above the previous node’s newly formed leaves. It’s also advisable to use small scissors as opposed to simply plucking off the growing tips by hand. 4.) Know what you’re pruning Never prune more than the single growing tip, or upper- most node, from any branch on the growing plant. The upper- most growing tip of an un-pruned marijuana plant will always be more potent than that of the top of a pruned plant grown in similar conditions. But let’s not get caught trippin’ on just the top. Let’s think about the whole plant. Pruning the tallest branches ensures that the lower branches grow upward, forming a larger surface area for the light to cover. The clear fluid that often flows from the end of a newly pruned branch contains substances which seal the wound and aid the healing process. Although it is recommended that you remove all dying leaves from the plant, you should resist the temptation to prune too many healthy leaves. Keep in mind that even though it may be better developed, a pruned marijuana plant does not always produce more buds than an un-pruned plant. Another good reason for pruning is to take healthy cuttings from a strong growing, or favorite plant, for further hydroponic development (cloning). 5.) Use “if needed” as your pruning rule of thumb Marijuana growers often prune their plants in an attempt to limit their height and prevent unwanted detection. If you have that type of operation, all of this is probably old hat for you. If you are the average “home grower,” remember that by pruning a growing tip, you are removing the most potent part of the plant, thereby spoiling its chance of reaching full maturity. By pruning all the buds at harvest time, rather than cutting the stem off above the ground, you could easily harvest your plant a second time. One great advantage to pruning your marijuana plant is that you’re lowering their resistance to harmful natural enemies such as insects, fungus and temperature fluctuations.
Do not prune any growing tips if you notice that your plant’s health is declining or has started losing leaves. Although smoking your pruned tips is ok, plants should be pruned to develop their growth, rather than for smoking purposes. While it may be tempting to prune female buds during early flowering, your harvest will be severely reduced by doing so. Cannabis indica is genetically smaller and bushier than cannabis sativa, and usually requires less pruning.
So remember, be patient and concise when pruning. You know when you need a haircut don’t you? Well the same patience and concern should be taken with your little babies.

New Denver Medical Marijuana Ordinance: City Council sets parameters on dispensaries
by Noelle Leavitt
Break out the tape measure if you plan on opening a medical marijuana dispensary in Denver, as you’ll want to calculate at least 1,000 feet between you and the nearest school, daycare center or competing medical pot shop.
In January, Denver’s City Council changed the licensing procedures for medical marijuana dispensary owners, restricting them from opening cannabis shops within 1,000 feet of schools, childcare establishments and other dispensaries. And if you currently operate a dispensary that violates the new specs, you must relocate.
The new law goes into effect on March 1, 2010, along with a slew of other requirements outlined in the council bill, including tighter regulations surrounding criminal background checks for dispensary owners. That means if you’ve spent time in jail in the last five years for convicting a felony, you’re application to open a dispensary within the city and county of Denver will be denied.
“We don’t want drug dealers to run dispensaries within the city or county,” Denver city councilman Charlie Brown told Kush-Colorado. “If they think they can come in here and have no regulation, they’re crazy.”
Another stipulation states that medical marijuana cannot be smoked, eaten or ingested inside or around the premises of dispensaries.
“I think that’s another important piece. You don’t go into a liquor store and have four drinks when you buy alcohol,” said Candace Gill, manager of Alameda Wellness Center, a dispensary located in Denver. “I think proper licensing is important. I don’t have a problem with someone needing a criminal background check. It’s a sticky market -- it’s viewed as drugs. I have patients that are old vets, and we’re not dealing with your basic pothead. So I’m excited to see that there’s going to be some basic guidelines.”
It costs $2,000 to apply for a medical marijuana dispensary license, plus additional costs for a background check for each partner with at least a 10 percent stake in
22 kush Additional requirements related to a medical marijuana dispensary license include: • Dispensaries must be closed to the public from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. • Licensed establishments are required to have 24-hour surveillance on the premises with either security cameras, security guards or safes for overnight storage of marijuana. • Only dispensary owners listed on the license and managers listed on the application can manage the property. • Displaying marijuana sales products in windows is forbidden, and must not be visible from the exterior. • Persons under the age of 18 are not allowed on the premises.
the business. But, wait, there’s more — a medical marijuana dispensary license tallies $3,000 a year. Denver’s Department of License and Excess approves or denies medical marijuana dispensary licenses.
The new bill is in compliance with Amendment 20 — a state law approved by Colorado voters in 2000, allowing them to legally sell medical marijuana. Yet, a federal law restricting the medical marijuana industry pre-empted the state law until last October when the federal government lifted the sanction, opening the flood gates in Colorado for new dispensary business.
The original bill, proposed by Brown, stated that dispensaries were restricted to open within 500 feet of schools, daycare centers or other pot shops to eliminate clusters of dispensaries around the city, but other council members amended the bill to state 1,000 feet.
“I thought the 1,000 foot was excessive,” Brown said. “It was a compromise.”
kush 23 A mere 75 miles west of Denver, down the I-70 corridor, and over Berthoud Pass is the Winter Park ski resort. The area around the West Portal of the Moffat tunnel was renamed Winter Park in 1939 and has been serving recreational skiers ever since. If you are looking for your typical family-oriented “winter wonderland of snow,” you have found it. But if you are looking to get away from the families, the hoards of ski school sketchies and, possibly to enjoy some recreational smoke ... well traveler, you went one left turn too far. You want to take the earlier left-hand turn – the one that leads to Mary Jane. This mountain’s name sake, Mary Jane, was a land owner and woman of ill-repute, having supplied certain age-old services to the railroad workers – and not an overt reference to marijuana.
While it is technically part of the Winter Park ski resort, “the Jane” is a totally different animal. As the cruel and remorseless Mr. Hyde to Winter Park’s smart and friendly Dr. Jekyll, Mary Jane is home to pristine glades, tricky trees, and of course, world class bumps. Nevertheless, if you look hard enough, there is a softer side to Jane. While you’re shredding bumps that make local phenom Jeremy Bloom sweat, there are a number of man-made shelters that can offer a much-needed respite from the grueling repetitions. If you are constantly reminded of every nagging injury you’ve sustained since junior high, there is a place to ease your pain. Deep within and between the legendary runs on Mary Jane Mountain, you can find a shelter for the weary. As you unclick your sticks, it occurs to you that this isn’t just a pit stop for your burning quads... hey, did someone just run over a skunk? This is a “Bud Hut”. There are rumored to be as many as two dozen of these Kind Cabins scattered about. Most smoke shacks are very simple shelters. Usually made with hand tools, these shelters are made from whatever’s clever. Boulder clusters, large tree clusters, downed trees ... everything is fair game. Styles include the simple lean to, A-frames, and log cabins. Others are built with a little more creativity, likely by powder-hardened local gnar-dogs who have built huts before. The cave hut, the swing hut, the Jane hut, and the patrol hut (out of bounds) are among those special chronic closets that display By Ryan James in the 303

By Josh Kaplan Coachella Music and Arts Festival known in short as “Coachella Fest,” is the Mecca of Music and Art Festivals. It’s also the benchmark by which most festivals are com- pared, worldwide. Started in 1999 (missing one year in 2000, due to lack of ticket sales), Coachella has come back strong as the West Coast Festival to attend each Spring. Along with three main stages and multiple DJ tents, there are also large art installations set up all over the complex. For those dance-crazed, rave-minded attendees, there is a special area devoted just to dance music - all weekend. The hit list of bands who’ve played in years past is a who’s who of contemporary rock ’n’ roll. With such headline acts as Beck, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis, Radiohead, The Cure, Roger Waters, Prince, Madonna, Rage Against The Machine, Paul McCartney & Daft Punk, it’s evident that these promoters are in tune with what the people want. After months of message boards and blogs post, the long-await- ed reveal of the highly anticipated lineup has been released. It seems that the heads at Goldenvoice/AEG Live have once again put together another kick-ass lineup for 2010.

kush 47 Cannabis rally By Noelle Leavitt
Denver, Colo. — The air was filled with clouds of pot smoke outside the State Capitol January 14, as medical-marijuana proponents toked on pipes and joints moments before they marched into the State House to address legislators about the need to keep the drug legal in Colorado.
Medical marijuana is a hot topic at the state capitol this year, as legislators prepare to discuss the issue at length in the coming months. Cannabis users, dispensary owners and local lobbyists wanted their voices heard by their elected officials, who they feel have long-ignored the importance of medical, as well as recreational, use of marijuana.
“This is the day that we restore the voice to the American people, to the Colorado people and to the Denver people. It’s been ignored by our city councils, our leadership at the capitol,” said Miguel Lopez, who organized the rally.
Lopez, who works with the Cannabis Therapy Institute based in Boulder, put together the event in response to several bills slated for discussion at the State Capitol this year, all which address restricting and regulating the use of marijuana.
The bills come on the heels of a new federal policy implemented by President Barack Obama on Oct. 19, 2009, which states that law officials will no longer take legal action against medical marijuana users and dispensary owners if the drug has been legalized by state governments.
Yet, if Colorado legislators go to the extreme in restricting the use and distribution of medical marijuana in the state, Obama’s new policy could no longer apply to Colorado.
“What I’d like to say is thanks to our president of the United States, who actually freed medical marijuana. It’s a shame that our local leadership doesn’t see this, because if our president recognizes and acknowledges it, then so should our leadership all the way down,” Lopez shouted into a microphone at the rally. “If our national leaders can now acknowledge medical marijuana, that’s the first step to decriminalization for responsible adults and protection for the patients who absolutely have a need for medicine.”
Rep. Larry Liston, R-Colorado Springs, said he’s willing to hear what proponents have to say, yet he still has personal reservations about pot use in Colorado. “I went to college, and we’ve all been exposed to it,” Liston said.
“But I had my reservations in 2000 when it was on the ballot. It passed, and now the industry has grown from a tiny cottage industry into, gosh, dispensaries have sprouted up all over the place in the last couple of months.”
48 kush at Colorado State Capitol fuels fire for legislative support
Liston supports the use of medical marijuana, but opposes recreational use, fearful that it will increase drug-related crime across the state. He has yet to see the legislation, so he declined to comment on what might happen at the capitol in coming months regarding medical marijuana reform.
“There are going to be some drastic steps that are going to have to be taken to regulate it,” Liston said, noting that he does think it can help cancer patients who are prescribed cannabis, but he does not necessarily support recreational use.
Attorney Rob Corry represents those in favor of using the green substance, which is now distributed to more than 15,800 registered patients in Colorado, according to figures released by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment in December 2009.
“It’s not completely safe until it’s legal for everybody because patients are always going to get caught up in this gray netherworld where it’s always partially legal and partially not,” Corry said in an interview with Kush, after publicly backing full legalization at the rally. “You’ll always see the government second-guessing and questioning physicians’ judgment if it’s truly medical or not. You’re always going to see growers and caregivers who are guilty until proven innocent. I mean, that is still the prevailing law enforcement paradigm.”
The department of health also reported that, as of Dec. 15, 2009, a total of 820 physicians had prescribed cannabis for medical purposes in Colorado.
Medical marijuana proponents are also fighting a battle against those in their movement who would seek to legalize it across the board.
“There’s also the mentality that all use is medical, that every single use of marijuana is medical and confers physical, emotional, spiritual and mental benefits on the user — and that’s why people desire it and that’s why people benefit from it,” Corry explained to Kush Colorado while standing inside the marble- floored State Capitol rotunda.
“I do think there’s a recreational component to it. I think it can make a person more open-minded, it can make a person a better conversationalist ... there is that recreational part of it, but no one can dispute that there are medical benefits.”
As the legislative session wears on, senators and representatives will have much to discuss and debate concerning medical marijuana, its regulation and its role in Colorado.
kush 49 U.S Marine Veteran and Medicinal Marijuana My name is James Vester. And I am not afraid of telling my name. I am proud of using medical marijuana. It has change my life.
So lets start with who I am. I am 23 and I live in Berthoud, Colorado. I’ve been here for the past year now. I just moved from Chicago where I was in the United States Marine Corps. I served almost 6 years in the Marine Corps and did a tour overseas in Iraq.
During my time in the Corps I was diagnosed with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) insomnia, personality disorder, blown-out knees, a broken hip, torn ligaments in my ankle, severe anxiety and severe anger.
I was an alcoholic and was getting locked up a great deal for drinking and fighting when I got back from overseas. When I left the Marines they left me with 12 medications: I was taking from Percocet, Oxycontin, Trazadone, Seroquel, lithium, and much more. In total, about 32 pills a day. I was like a zombie on all this ... I mean think about my liver. All those pills.
One day my father and I were driving around town and my PTSD was kicking in and he had some medical marijuana. He said “Son, I think you should try medical marijuana I think it would really help you.” I forgot what I was stressing about and why my PTSD was kicking in but I said “Fine! Give me that glass and let me try it.” So I went ahead and medicated.
About five minutes later I forgot about everything that was on my mind and was not stressed. I felt happy and great. I think it was a sativa/indica blend. So I decided to go get my license. I went to see the doctor and gave him my medical record and he looked at me like “How is this guy standing?” once he realized how jacked up I am after reviewing my 869 page medical record.
Well, of course I got approved due to my disabilities. Since then my life has changed. My little sister who is 16 comes to my house to visit every once in awhile and if we are hanging out and I have not medicated she would be able to tell. She would say “Jimmy, have you medicated yet?” and I would say “no.” Then she would reply “You need to now because you are all angry and short and not looking good.” I would go and medicate and come back and she would thank me, since it would make me a better person to be around.
Since then I began studying medical marijuana and really wanted to help people like me. Now I work in a medical marijuana wellness center in Berthoud called Herbs Medicinals Inc. James Vester

The 28-year-old runs a pro-marijuana organization called SAFER (Safer Alternative for Enjoyable Recreation), that focuses on educating the public about the safe use of cannabis.

He’s the owner of Herbal Remedies, a medical marijuana dispensary in Westminster, and he organized an exciting holiday bash for his employees in January, treating them to an Italian dinner, a live Cheech and Chong show and drinks at a popular bar in Boulder to end the night. The best part was the charter bus that Wemhoff hired to drive employees, their significant others and Kush magazine publisher Michael Lerner around town. About 35 people enjoyed the festivities.

If you want to see one of the best rock concerts ever, go see Bon Jovi. Whether you know one or 100 of their songs (and they have over 100) you will not be disapointed in this red, white, and true Los Lonely Boys arena-rock specialist. For more than 26 years John Bongiovi, (later 3.1.10 @ Boulder Theater (Boulder) changed to Bon Jovi) has stood the test of time.

With 11 years, five albums, and many lineup changes under their belt, Killswitch Engage are in this for the long haul. They’ve proven that with appearances on everything from MTV and WWE to Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

72 kush Jason Aldean 3.18.10 @ Odeum Colorado (Broomfield) With three albums, nine singles, and three number one hits on the Billboard Country Charts, Jason Aldean’s career is headed in the right direction. Since he was a child, he’s had a guitar in his hand, quick to pick up his favorite country songs. He soon became a star, singing his original songs to ever growing crowds. You could say that this star is still rising because he’s that young. And seeing him before he’s really big would be pretty cool, huh? Well here’s your chance. Vampire Weekend 3.19.10 @ Ogden Theater (Denver) Named after lead singer Ezra Koenig’s amateur film, Vampire Weekend have become the darlings of the New York Indie Rock scene, starting in 2009. Coming out of the XL Recording stable and having running mates like The White Stripes puts VW in good company. They received major accolades from Rolling Stone in 2007, Spin in 2008, and hit the Top 20 singles charts in the UK and U.S. in 2009. With their latest album Contra (2010) just released, and a recent spot on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien, the only thing left is their March 19th show at the Ogden Theater in Denver CO. Come see what all the NYC hype is about.... Jay-Z 3.22.10 @ Pepsi Center (Denver) Jay-Z, the undeniable Top-Dog, Number One, King of Hip Hop, and all that is cool in this urban jungle is breezing into town. When Jay-Z wears it, raps it or uncorks it, it somehow becomes a hit. His hit list is so solid that it is only rivaled by the laundry list of people he’s helped make into stars. Did I mention his personalized diversions? Things like a clothing line, fashion accessories, champagne, cologne, or the NBA team he owns (NJ Nets). Oh yeah, and he’s married to the hottest Diva out there - Beyonce. Enough said. I’m glad this guy’s in charge! John Mayer 3.23.10 @ Pepsi Center (Denver) Since coming onto the scene in 1997, John Mayer seems to have become the torch bearer for great bluesmen - we can only hope the trusted sources handing off said torch are correct. In 2003 he won the Best Male Pop Vocal Performance Grammy Award. In 2005 he paired up with R&B legends B.B. King, Eric Clapton, and Buddy Guy - pretty solid references, to be sure. In 2007 he took home more Grammys for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

Talk about ominous overtones --the “Truck of the Year” award given out at the recent North American Auto Show was given to the Ford Transit Connect. What’s that, you ask? It’s an economical van built for businesses that want to save money on fuel costs. Adding to that, Jeep is set to re-badge Fiats. And fuel sucking V-8 engines are about as en vogue as high-risk bank securities. Aside from last year’s Ford Raptor F-150, there isn’t a whole lot for an off-roading enthusiast to get excited about. There is, however, the option of modifying your own truck to better handle those off-roading extremes. There are many different modifications available to the off-roading enthusiast.

Key to tricking out your off-road vehicle is the tires. All the engine and suspension modifications in the world, won’t accomplish anything if the tires don’t have any traction on the ground.

Taken from the name of Marlon Brando’s motorcycle gang in “The Wild One,” the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club (BRMC) have been doing it their way since 1998.
With garage rock and blues influences like Led Zeppelin and The Rolling Stones, to the neo-psychedelic noise pop of the Verve and Dinosaur Jr., BRMC have found a way to carve out their own sound.
Combined with dual-resonating guitars, and a solid backbeat, BRMC’s often religious lyrics are spiritually haunting at times, and deeply rich throughout. BRMC have released five albums since 2001, with their sixth, “Beat The Devil’s Tattoo,” set to be released in March on their own label, Abstract Dragon.
They got a high-profile boost to their name recognition when their recent single, “Done All Wrong,” was included on the “New Moon” movie soundtrack.
So it bears asking the question: Does Black Rebel Motorcycle Club live up to the coolness of their name, or the characters it was based on? Well, given that there aren’t too many quite as cool as the late, great Brando, you ought to come and make that determination yourself when BRMC rolls through Colorado - stopping in Englewood at the Gothic Theater, 3/2/2010.
Bring your coolest leather jacket and some smoke(s) with you to be sure.
