From his apartment building in San Francisco’s bustling Fisherman’s Wharf neighborhood, Kevin Reed, owner of The Green Cross, goes about the daily business of running a medical-marijuana delivery service. Reed, an Alabama native with a warm Southern accent, oversees the baking of pot brownies and cookies, prepares bags for delivery, and, beginning at 8 a.m., takes phone orders from registered members of his collective. According to Reed, his enterprise isn't so different from any other operation. “It really is just like running a pizza service.” The emergence of door-to-door pot delivery services is at least one unintended consequence of the cat-and-mouse game between law enforcement and suppliers that's been going on in California in recent years, in the wake of a boom in the industry — particularly since 2009, when the Obama administration announced a shift in federal policy, saying it would no longer target operators or customers of medical marijuana dispensaries who abide by state laws. As officials have tried to get a handle on the proliferation with stricter regulations and forced closures, many dispensaries have found a way to remain in operation by replacing their traditional storefront with a courier service. Uniting under the slogan “We Deliver,” hundreds of mobile dispensaries now advertise their services on the Internet, offering a variety of strains of cannabis and cannabis-based products, such as brownies and cookies, to legally certified patients. These outfits may or may not be legal — since few current laws directly address their existence — but they are almost as common as dry cleaners in California now, with customer reviews available on popular Websites like Yelp.com. ("Best service ever," says one Green Cross patron. "Seriously, so amazing. Great staff. Great people. Very knowledgeable. Gotta love the specials too!") The Wild Wild West The rapid growth of California’s pot industry into uncharted legal territory has only heightened the stakes for Proposition 19, a monumental initiative on the November ballot that could make California the first state in the nation to legalize marijuana for recreational purposes. Thirteen other states followed suit after Californians passed Proposition 215 in 1996, enabling patients with a valid doctor's recommendation to possess and cultivate marijuana for personal medical use, so activists on both sides of the issue will be watching closely, looking to gauge the national mood. While advocates have mounted a strong push for legalization (a June survey by Public Policy Polling showed 52 percent support for Prop. 19), elected officials have been just as committed in their attempts to crack down on the so-called Green Rush in the state. According to Americans for Safe Access, a total of 129 cities and nine counties across California have banned medical marijuana dispensaries. However, as more dispensaries are forced to shut down, a growing number of pot delivery services are avoiding such restrictions and thriving as a result. Nowhere is this more evident than in Southern California, where estimates on the number of dispensaries in Los Angeles have ranged from 500 to 1,000. In an attempt to control the marijuana industry in the area, the L.A. City Council passed an ordinance in January of this year requiring all marijuana dispensaries that violated the city's 2007 moratorium on new collectives to shut down their physical locations. As a result, the 439 dispensaries that ignored the initial moratorium were forced to close, and even tighter restrictions were placed on the remaining dispensaries. Under the ordinance, which went into effect June 7, only 41 are now technically eligible to stay open. Kevin Reed's Green Cross was the first medical marijuana dispensary to obtain a permit for delivery in San Francisco four years ago, after being forced by the city council there to shut down and move locations. Since then, he has run a successful medical-marijuana delivery service that is in compliance with all city regulations. "There is a Wild West atmosphere right now in California and especially in L.A.," Reed says. Reed relates the situation to his own experience with San Francisco's city council. "I think the rise of delivery services in L.A. has a tremendous amount to do with the ordinance and forced closures. It was big news when San Francisco closed us down, and I think a lot of dispensaries in L.A. saw the success we had, and are now trying to emulate our delivery business model." AP Kevin Reed owns The Green Cross, a pot delivery service in San Francisco. City officials in Los Angeles are struggling to contain the growth of such delivery services, and maintain that their existence is in violation of the ordinance passed in January. According to Monica Valencia, press deputy for L.A. city councilman Ed Reyes, "[the medical-marijuana delivery services] are prohibited per our city ordinance. Unless the collectives are registered, they are in violation of the city’s ordinance." To regulate or not to regulate? A real estate developer who uses the name Matt Lawrence for his business is the director of C420, an online medical-marijuana dispensary service that ships to more than 1,000 legal customers across the state. The nonprofit collective, which opened in April 2010, has hubs in both Northern and Southern California, and uses an unnamed third-party carrier to deliver the product. Lawrence emphasized the importance of following state and national guidelines, saying, "All of our customers are pre-verified with the appropriate documents and doctor’s notes. Additionally, all of our products are produced within the state. We also do not ship marijuana products out of the state, because that is against federal law." A longtime advocate of medical cannabis, Lawrence says, "I am actually in favor of the L.A. ordinance. The situation is out of control in California, and without proper regulation, there is a lot of opportunity for fraud and unhealthy, low-grade marijuana to be sold.” AP Matthew Lawrence operates C420, a California medical marijuana collective. On the other hand, Dann Halem, owner of Artists Collective, has a less favorable opinion of the crackdown in L.A. Prior to the city council vote in January, Halem moved his base of operations out of Los Angeles to West Hollywood, and set up a mobile dispensary that is now doing quite well. "The L.A. City Council has consistently been behind on this issue. I think they are making a big mistake by forcing over 400 dispensaries to close down. Rather than regulating it and seeing the positive outcomes, they have taken the approach of containment and control. This really doesn't benefit anyone. This industry has the potential to raise a huge amount of money for good initiatives through proper regulation." Councilman Reyes, who has overseen most of the consideration of the medical-marijuana-dispensaries issue, claims that the city council "has implemented a medical-marijuana ordinance that we believe is both prudent and fair. My goal has been and continues to be, implementing an ordinance that secures access for those who need access to dispensaries for medical purposes, while at the same time protecting the health and safety of our communities." Social benefit vs. legal nightmare Among other attempts to control the growth of the industry overall, the state passed a law in 2003 authorizing marijuana collectives to operate strictly on a nonprofit basis. Halem, the owner of what he calls a “social business,” has capitalized on the booming medical-marijuana industry to do public good, by using medical marijuana profits to fund a social initiative. Halem accomplished this by donating his profits toward funding grants for emerging artists, writers, performers, and musicians. Halem said this is one of the most rewarding aspects of his job, as he has been able to inspire people in the art world, an industry that is consistently underfunded. “I think marijuana should be legalized, but in a way that requires the company’s association with a federal nonprofit organization. I am against Proposition 19, because it appears to eliminate the nonprofit factor. It is hard enough to be a medical marijuana nonprofit dispensary, and Proposition 19 would make it even more difficult because we’d have to compete with big corporations. In short, we are in favor of legalization, but not corporatization.” Reed feels differently about the proposition, fearing that full legalization of marijuana would benefit only recreational users, and not his patients. He adds that since becoming a delivery service, he has come to greatly appreciate the direct contact with his customers and the more welcoming response from the surrounding San Francisco neighborhood, claiming, “When we switched to delivery, suddenly people loved us because we were no longer a visible presence in the neighborhood.” But a substantial number remain opposed to legalization under any scenario, delivery service or not. Roger Morgan, for instance, executive director of the spearheading anti-drug organization Coalition for a Drug-Free California, voices the group's outrage in no uncertain terms: “We are against Proposition 19. It would be a legal nightmare. The proposition itself is so ridiculous; I think whoever wrote it must have been smoking pot at the time. Marijuana is a dangerous substance that causes irreversible harm to developing brains, and if it is legalized, there is no way to guarantee it wouldn’t get into the hands of kids who would be severely hurt by the drug." Halem acknowledged that while many people can get a recommendation for medical marijuana today and his customers certainly “run the gamut,” many of his patients are clearly physically ill and need their medication delivered. “The most rewarding part of the job is to have the ability to help someone who is really sick. When you help someone who is in a lot of pain, it is a great feeling. Frankly, it is these moments that keep us going, and I hope we will continue to be successful.”

what shit . this is all quite laughable . the 1960,s . prohibition was around in the 30,s when marijuana was turning people into bats . and 5000 years before that its been used for pretty much day to day life in most cultures . geoege washington smoked the bloody stuff . the chinese have been producing emphetamines for 3000 years . aboriginals have been chewin beatlenut for 4000 years . napolean had his snuff . and i think the afghans probably new about opium a bit before the 60,s . what a dick i smoke cause it gets me wasted relieves a few of my pains and makes me forget about all the dickheads out there who dont know what the fuck they are sayin . and have done so every day for 20 years i must be gonna die soon from all that abuse , even though i can still run all day . and my mind is clearly a mess . heart attacks my arse . bloody gooses if i could get my smoko at the local shop then i would,nt need to go to a drug dealers house . were he may ask me if there is any thing else i might like . when in rome .

I suppose so Nooby . wouldnt make any sence to double the coffee shops employ twice the people , create a whole new agricultural industry ,creating more jobs more tax,s opening up the doorways to many taxable products which would be in excess of billions of dollars . dont want all them stoned tourists hanging about and being happy with smiles from ear to ear . The capital, Amsterdam, has said it will halve its number of coffee shops, while other cities are closing shops within a certain distance from schools now a $15 million fine is fair , they broke the rules . But closing half the coffee shops is a step in the wrong direction . now there will be more congestion more shops having to risk keeping up the demand . more bad publicity . they will want to shut it all down at this rate . no more drug tourists , problem solved .

Thats big buisness for ya . i agree Frazz , greed is the issue . The government mooted plans last year to transform coffee shops near the Belgian border into private clubs, to address what critics describe as the nuisance created by millions of drug tourists a year. there is a supply and demand issue here . instead of closing the coffee shops they should open more . creating new buisness more jobs and bring in more money from taxes . it would also spread the tourism about rather than congesting one area , problem solved . fuck the fat cats off .

my old man used to say . ive told you once ive told you a thousand times . i can see what he means . I myself Crunchy will never tire of reading this kind of literature . its all positive and some people need to read more of it .

different lookin THC . ive had similar with my durbs except the tips of the leaves browned off . and it only occured in a couple of the main crowns . my afgans wich are not to far away have none of this , so im reckoning it may be to do with the strain . my problem was solved by drenching them with seasol . what a product . good luck with it . but you gotta love the learning process .

in comparison to your other plants how does it look . males normally grow taller faster with more space in there sets . if your not sure just wait and see they cant harm anything bein male untill the flowers open which aint gonna happen for sometime . its a pain in the arse growin them to rip em out but thats the cycle . although at this moment i have some seedlings in which i started in a glass of water , i planted the seeds in 2 coloured pots in the black pots i planted the seeds that floated and in the red i planted the sinkers . im not sure if this determines the sex yet or not but , the floaters are much different as they are shorter and well set . but the sinkers are more tall with less sets so im thinkin there males . which brings me to this , i have been in the garden and lookin at my sinkers and they show a resemblance to your pics wereas the floaters have a more open and fluffy nodule . an interesting question treehugr for me anyways nothing i say is gospel but i think you may be correct in thinking they could be male let us know when you are certain and ill tell you about my tests also . have a goods one .

wouldnt it be nice to come home from your holiday and find 4 or 5 ounces stashed in your bags . compliments of the airport . An unwitting passenger arriving at Japan's Narita airport has received 142g of cannabis after a customs test went awry, officials say. A customs officer hid a package of the banned substance in a side pocket of a randomly chosen suitcase in order to test airport security. Sniffer dogs failed to detect the cannabis and the officer could not remember which bag he had put it in. Anyone finding the package has been asked to contact customs officials. "This case was extremely regrettable. I would like to deeply apologise," said Narita International Airport's customs head Manpei Tanaka. Strict laws The customs officer conducted the test on a passenger's bag against regulations. Normally a training suitcase is used. "I knew that using passengers' bags is prohibited, but I did it because I wanted to improve the sniffer dog's ability," the officer was quoted as saying. "The dogs have always been able to find it before... I became overconfident that it would work," he said. Japan has strict laws against drugs and possession of small amounts of cannabis can lead to a prison sentence.
