#Putin Pooh-poohs #Pot

So I get an odd email from Russia telling me the censors don't like my web page that talks about cannabis. Seems Putin doesn't like pot.

My reaction? Throw up a page in Russian about how to grow marijuana.

The Recipe Sliderule: Open Source Software for the Cannabis Industry

The Recipe Sliderule is a free open source tool that applies the THC and CBD levels in marijuana to setting doses for medibles like candy, baked goods, tinctures, and other concentrates.

As marijuana becomes legalized across the nation, consumers expect accurate labeling on products. Without lab analysis of the specific cannabis used no one - processors, retailers or consumers - knows what's in a specific product whether recreational pot or medical marijuana.

The Recipe Sliderule is available as an Excel spreadsheet and online as a Google Sheets.

"Cannabis: chemistry & cooking" talk

“Cannabis: chemistry & cooking”
7-8:30 pm Mon Nov 18, 2013
Jigsaw Renaissance
The InScape Bldg, 815 Seattle Blvd S. Seattle 98134

With the legalization of marijuana behind us, it’s time to turn our attention to the science of cannabis. Let’s set the myths and hearsay aside and learn how cannabis really works. “Cannabis: chemistry & cooking” is a free lecture that presents the science of cannabis addressing questions like:
- Are the various strains really that different? How & why?
- What’s in cannabis besides THC?
- Why is everyone talking about CBD?
- What’s the science behind smoking, eating, & other ingestion methods?
- How can I become a cannabis nerd?

Prohibition and the war on drugs spread lies and disinformation, depriving us of basic science and botany. While the body of scientific research continues to shed light on the healing effects of medical marijuana, somehow it never seems to make the mainstream media. Let’s change that by starting the conversation among ourselves.

As we learn more about marijuana, both as individuals and as a society, we’ll make better decisions about personal usage, laws & policy, and how to grow and prepare our own medicine the more we know.

Whether you attend or not, please feel free to review the lecture slides: http://goo.gl/ovX55A

MMJ Pricing Model Spreadsheet

Use this spreadsheet to calculate the price of THC and CBD as components within bulk marijuana. This pricing model differs from the recreational market because the cannabis in question is merely an ingredient in a finished product (medible, tincture, concentrate, etc.) not something destined for a bong or a joint.

I-502 and the end of Prohibition in Washington State

CBD is a compound in cannabis with real anti-cancer potential. Read the science at work and then ask yourself why marijuana prohibition continues.
