Purple Kush

This pure indica medicinal strain comes from California. In that state's medical community she is considered an "elite clone", meaning that she is only available as a cutting. Not to worry if you are a medical merijuana patient in California - this strain can be found at various despensaries throughout the state. Purple Kush is especially popular at the SR-71 dispensary in "Oaksterdam", the section of downtown Oakland that tolerates medical marijuana providers. Patients there praise this Purple Kush's deep body stone as a treatment for pain and depression.

This lady forms a short squat bush with very dense intermodes and huge fan leaves, staying in the 2-3 foot height range indoors. With topping or pinching she will be at least as wide as she is tall. Purple Kush's foliage exhibits a classic indica growth pattern: a sturdy bush with dark green hues and hints of purple toward ripeness.

Purple Kush is versatile, performing well for both indoor and outdoor growers. She does very well in a screen of green (SCROG) setup. Purple Kush buds form tight chunky nuggets with hints of purple in the tips of the calyxes, as well as the soft pine bouquet and a sweet, grapey taste on an earthy foundation. her very frosty veneer of glands will please both the connoisseur of indica potency and the hashish fan. The Purple Kush high is strong, deep stone delivers when it comes to treating chronic pains and inflamations, among other conditions.

Tangerine Kush

Strain Name: Tangerine Kush

Grade: A+

Type: Indica

Looks: Rich green dense buds with a bit of leaf and bright dark orange / red hairs. (9/10)

Smell: It smells like kush and unburnt diesel fuel. When it’s ground up it gets a really strong smell of kush, unburnt diesel fuel and skunk. The smell when its ground up reminds me of a spare rib, it has this twang to it. Some of the strongest smelling medicine EVER. A small bud will reak up the WHOLE house when the jar is cracked. This is the stuff you smell before you even see it. If you’re trying to be discrete with the smell, look for another strain. (10/10)

Taste: Super heavy kush taste. With hints of a fresh pine tree forest. The kush taste is so overpowering, that I have to change the volcano bag afterwards or every other bag until it is changed tastes like kush regardless of the strain. (9/10)

Effects: Night time use only. Strong indica effects. Provided a calming, anti-anxiety happy feeling. Noticed although I was in floating haze I was still fully functional and had lots of energy to get stuff done. Too much in one sitting is instant nap time. Works great for high tolerances. Made me really hungry too! (9/10)

Potency: Very Strong (9/10)

Marijuana Zoning Regulations

The Chandler City Council took a first step Monday night to write restrictive zoning regulations for medical marijuana dispensaries.

The Council voted unanimously to start work on zoning code amendments that limit the locations of dispensaries beyond those in a new state law.

Exactly what those restrictions will be is uncertain, but the council will discuss them at a Dec. 16 subcommittee meeting, bring them to public hearings in January and adopt them in February.

Several council members said the potential for marijuana theft and the anticipated cultivation of medical marijuana in city limits are reasons Chandler should adopt zoning restrictions.

Municipalities across the state have been scrambling to write ordinances for medical-marijuana dispensaries since Proposition 203 was officially approved by voters last month.

Planning Director Jeff Kurtz said cities can limit medical marijuana dispensaries to specific zoning districts, require special use permits and set maximum square footage for the operations. If Chandler doesn't change its zoning code, the dispensaries would be allowed in most areas that permit retail commerce, he said.

Mayor Boyd Dunn, a member of the League of Arizona Cities and Towns executive committee, said the state law is so vague that the regional group drafted a model ordinance for municipalities. Arizona Department of Health Services is expected to start reviewing applications from people who want to operate a dispensary or use medical marijuana by April. Under state law, no more than 124 dispensaries can open across Arizona. At least one has to open in each county.

According to league records, no Valley city has yet adopted zoning changes that regulate medical marijuana dispensaries but Tempe and Scottsdale have held public discussions of proposed restrictions and Peoria has a draft ordinance set for a vote next month. Four cities outside of Maricopa County, including Tucson, have adopted medical marijuana zoning laws.

Rainbows in the Sky Making you Sick?

If you’ve been paying attention to chemtrails, you may have observed rainbow smearing (diffraction) of light reflected off them. Dark sunglasses can bring the subtle rainbows into the dynamic range of the human eye. Chembows are often visible when the sunlight reflects at approximately 45• angle to the chemtrail.

In the past, high altitude jet contrails dissipated quickly, and didn't form persistent horizon-to-horizon trails that later spread out into a blanket of silvery haze. How many days have you watched clear skies turned solid gray by chemtrails? Global dimming has been proven and is highly associated with chemtrails.

By whatever means the chemicals are being dispersed, whether as a fuel additive or spraying, and for whatever purpose(s), it's safe to say at this point that a semi-secret aerosol dispersal program exists, and a number of different chemicals are being released into the air using jet aircraft (including barium, aluminum, polymer fibers, and microorganisms). High altitude ice crystal formation increases around these nucleation sites, often resulting in stunning rainbows (chembows and sun dogs) of diffracted/refracted light, and pink and green dichroism.

The program is global in scope and is causing untold harm to our environment. It's time to recognize the mangnitude of this threat, and conduct some real diligent science and intelligence gathering that identifies conclusively the source and composition and impact of the release of this aerosol.

Flagstaff City Council members sent staff back to the drawing board to come up with less restrictive zoning for medical marijuana businesses noting that strip clubs faced less restrictive zoning in the initial plan.

Medical Marijuana Clinics and Dispensaries Arizona
The federal marijuana enforcement policy declares federal authorities will no longer be raiding state licensed medical marijuana dispensaries and clinics that are in compliance with their own state laws and regulations concerning the medical use and safe access to marijuana. Under current federal law however, the use, sale or possession of marijuana, whether medically prescribed or not, is still unlawful and carries significant criminal penalties.

Zero tolerance of drug use is the workplace norm in Arizona, but the medical-marijuana law that takes effect next year will cloud what had been a clear-cut issue for workers and employers.

If a supervisor suspects that using marijuana for medical reasons affects the quality of an employee's work, how should the supervisor respond?

If employees who were prescribed medical marijuana are injured in an accident on the job, are they eligible for workers' compensation?

What happens if a legal user of marijuana fails a company's drug test when applying for a job?

The new law bars employers from discriminating against medical-marijuana users; but, employment attorneys say, it does allow employers to terminate or take action against employees who use medical marijuana on the job or whose work is impaired by the drug.

The issue is likely to be tested in Arizona's workplaces. The law specifies that medical marijuana is for grave illnesses - such as cancer, HIV and glaucoma - but it's increasingly common for employees with serious illnesses to continue to work long after their diagnosis.

Because there is no standard for being under the influence of marijuana, defining what it means to be impaired by the drug on the job is more difficult. In general, employment law allows termination for poor work performance.

Issues not directly related to job performance also are expected to crop up for employers. Because a medical-marijuana user could fail a drug test even if he or she is not under the influence, patients who use the drug legally could still run afoul of their employers' drug-testing policies.

The result is widespread uncertainty among employers. In the months before the program launches, companies and their attorneys will be scrambling to review their drug-testing policies and scrutinize employee rules to comply with the new law.

Many states with existing medical-marijuana laws are still struggling with many of the same issues. Many may have to be resolved in court.


However, because states have separate statutes and judicial systems, decisions in one state may not carry weight in another.

Workplace issues have arisen frequently, said Mike Meno, communications director for the Marijuana Policy Project. His organization backed the successful November ballot initiative that made medical-marijuana use legal in Arizona.

Although there are 15 states that allow patients to use marijuana for medical purposes, Arizona is one of a handful of states that spell out protections for employees who use medical marijuana.

Prop 203 Arizona's Medical Marijuana Law

Voters in Arizona strongly support allowing for medical marijuana in the state. According to a Rocky Mountain poll, 54 percent of likely voters in Arizona plan to vote yes on Proposition 203, the Arizona Medical Marijuana Act. Only 32 percent of voters claim they plan to oppose the measure.
The committed yes vote is slightly over 50 percent and is 22 points higher than the no vote. Overall, this is a fairly strong position for a ballot measure roughly three weeks before the election, and indicate the proposition is likely to pass.

Not surprisingly, the poll shows a large age divide on the issue. While voters under 35 overwhelmingly support Prop 203 by a margin of 61 to 21 percent, voters over 55 slightly oppose it 41 to 43. As long as younger voters turn out in reasonable numbers, the proposition should be on track to passage.

If the voters of Arizona approve of Prop 203, it will become the 15th state to legalize medical marijuana.
