Astonishing But True: Pot Shortage in Humboldt County!

There is a pot shortage in Humboldt County, at least from my perspective as a 215 patient.

A few weeks ago the county saw fit to shut down the Hummingbird Health Center in Myrtletown, a legal dispensary where I was a member and that was the only dispensary in the Eureka area.  They had a great selection of herb, plus some good edibles.

There is supposedly another dispensary opening in Myrtletown but as far as I know it isn’t open yet.  If anyone knows any different please post the info here.

I am also a member at HPRC in Arcata but they have been very low on medicinal herb lately, the other day they had only two strains with a limit of 1/8 oz per person.   It used to be that they would have a dozen strains and you could buy several ounces.  Plus they are out of trim, out of crumble, out of edibles.  I’m not complaining about HPRC I like them but WTF is going on?  This is HUMBOLDT COUNTY?  I can’t really afford to buy high quality bud I usually smoke or vape trim because it is cheaper and more affordable for me.

I used to be a member of THC but they informed me about a year ago that they would start charging a $50 per year membership fee and I said “no thanks.’”

So what the hell is going on in Humboldt?  Have all the indoor growers departed for Colorado and Michigan, looking for greener pastures, looking to do legal business in a place that values their contribution?  Or is it something else?  Or is it just me experiencing a personal scarcity?    I know it is the time of year right before harvest of outdoor, so that explains some of it, but come on, they grow a ton of indoor around here too, in Arcata and Eureka and every little nook and cranny.  Don’t they?

Cannabis Roots for Medicinal Use

I am intrigued by the part of the cannabis plant that is rarely mentioned except as a topic in a How to Grow book.  I speak of the root of the plant.  Apparently in the distant past, the root of the cannabis plant was used medicinally.  I found mention of it in the wikipedia entry for medical marijuana, where it mentions cannabis root as a diuretic. 

I have no idea how cannabis root should be prepared.  Diced, and dried, like onion flakes?  Mashed into some kind of paste?  And then dried nto flour?  A tincture?  Anyway this is an area of the cannabis business that needs to be expanded, after all there are plenty of cannabis roots going into the compost bins aren’t there?  This is  a potential valuable medicinal product that could be produced right now, with presumably different effects than given by the flowers.  Someone needs to collect a bunch of roots and get processing and packaging. Get on it! 

have a peaceful day,

Bill

Medical Marijuana Crop Insurance…..???

For seventeen years, J.B. Woods, owner of Parker’s Greenpoint Insurance Group, has sold policies that cover losses to individuals, families and assorted commercial and business interests.

But it’s only been in the past few days that he’s been able to offer medical marijuana crop insurance — and he thinks it’s a product whose time has come.

“Don’t you want to protect your most valuable assets — which are the stock and the medicine?” he asks.

“We just rolled it out last Friday, now that there are a couple of insurance companies willing to insure medical marijuana while it’s being grown in the pots,” says Woods, who’s launched a new website at

MarijuanaDispensaryInsurance.com.

“I think that, in the history of crop insurance, it’s the first time it’s ever been done.”

Memo to Obama, My Brother: Herb Sí, Beer, No.

Link Here:

http://urlet.com/traverse.understand

 http://highboldtage.wordpress.com/2009/07/29/memo-to-obama-my-brother-herb-si-beer-no/

If you really want to mend the rift between your friend Professor Gates and the Cambridge policeman, spark up a joint with them instead of popping a beer with them.

Alcohol is a chemical that produces violent behavior and is very addictive.  The herb is a natural substance that induces feelings of brotherhood and sisterhood (love) within us.

Have a peaceful day,  Mr. President.

Bill

p.s.  A little herb will help you with that nicotine addiction too.
