This is a BIG Freaking deal!…

Yesterday we got some seriously important news when it comes to cannabis research, in a post by US News and World Report a “Major Pot Research Barrier Goes Up in Smoke” because the Obama Whitehouse has decided to drop the requirement that required researchers to “submit proposed pot studies to the U.S. Public Health Service for review, ending a hurdle that delayed – sometimes for years – private and state-funded research into marijuana’s medical value.”

This is a very important step down the path of knowledge, so that we can finally have a real scientific approach, discovery and openness as to what cannabis really can do for us.

“Major Pot Research Barrier Goes Up in Smoke” was written by Steven Nelson and is well worth the read.

The Importance of good customer service…

April 21, 2015June 24, 2015 / Scott

When it comes to our patients everything we do for and with them is important to us.

Not the least of which is the customer service we provide after the sale.

Not only do we take the time answer every question, text and phone call in a VERY timely fashion, we also email our patients after EVERY interaction to make sure that all is well, to make sure they are happy with the quality of the medical marijuana, happy with the quality of service they received from us, to make sure they are happy with their entire experience with us and our cannabis.

We were recently pleasantly surprised to get a voice mail from a patient after sending them an email and we wanted to share it with you (with their permission).

So if you are a medical marijuana patient and were wondering what it would be like “do business” with us, to be one of our patients please take the time to listen to this audio file, it won’t take long, it is just under 40 seconds.

Our most popular medical marijuana strain is…

April 14, 2015June 24, 2015 / Scott

By far our most popular strain in both categories (medicine AND clones) is Strawberry Cough.

Because it’s number one we thought we’d share some of the specifics of this outstanding strain.

It’s a very productive plant that’s bred for its euphoric, anti-anxiety high. This mostly sativa strain produces a comfortable and enjoyable, yet powerful, experience. It`s a very consistent Purple variety with a quality is renowned for its potency, not in its yield, which is average to slightly above average.

Strawberry Cough grows very well in both hydroponic and dirt gardens. It produces a powerful, really strong yet mellow high and a strawberry fruity taste.

The plants have heavy lateral branches that become weighed down with substantial, tight, compact buds resembling pine cones. The buds themselves have a distinct aesthetic quality, sticky with resin and a sweet berry/citrus aroma that take on a deep red to deep purple hue when fully mature. Though the yield of these plants is not as high it is a clear lesson in quality over quantity.

The aroma of Strawberry Cough is very particularly fruity with an end note of fresh berries. The taste mirrors the smell quite nicely, bringing that berry-flavored goodness into the foreground. Users describe the flavor as thick and creamy with a slight “tickly” effect on the lungs, hence the name.

The effect it produces is both energetic and uplifting, like any good quality sativa. No couch-locking going on here, just a great, effervescent high that lets the user get on with their day productively with an intensified positive attitude. The effect is relatively potent and immediate and lasts a long time. This is a great strain for social interaction as well as combating the effects of depression and anxiety for those who grow for medicinal purposes.

Inventory of clones updated today…

April 8, 2015June 24, 2015 / Scott

Our inventory of available clones has been updated as of this morning (4/8).

In this update we are proud to introduce our own custom strain of medical marijuana called “Purple Rain” which is a high THC all Indica cross of G-13 and Granddaddy Purple.

It was a strange phenotype of the G-13 that gave its flowers cherry red nodes here and there so we tried crossing it with Granddaddy Purple to see if we could get a plant that would turn purple no matter the temperature, most will have purple streaks in the bud (which actually looks like purple rain fell on them, hence the name). You will see really pretty purple when flowering.

Both of the images on this post are of our “Purple Rain“.

So check out our inventory page to see what we have available.

Is pot safe for depression?

March 19, 2015June 24, 2015 / Scott

An interesting question and the headline of a recent article written in Natural Health Magazine.

You will find this article (and others) in our reading list “Cannabis In The News“.

It seems that with any discussion of medical marijuana it comes down to the fact that our government needs to change its classification so more research can be done.

But at the glacial speed and nonsensical way things happen on our nations capital we will most likely see pigs fly first.

Here is our updated list of available clones…

March 17, 2015June 24, 2015 / Scott

We have updated our list of available clones today (3/17) and you can see the entire list of available plants on our “inventory” page.

You will see the plants listed as either “large” or “small” which has less to do with actual height in inches and more to do with veg or flowering.

Those plants listed as “large” are just about ready to be put under 12/12 lighting and to start their flowering stage.

So follow this link and check out what clones we currently have available.
