"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.

Because it takes a nun to ordain a nun and given that some lineages and traditions no longer have living nuns, how does the Sangha expand to include women? How do we jumpstart nuns without nuns? Well, here's a peek into what's going on to bring back nuns, our Precious Jewels.

My Valentine's Day wish is for you to be consumed with Love. Not to an individual but all sentient beings. A compassionate love, that which binds all of us. Example? Those doing prison work. Like the Dhamma Brothers movie. Here's the plot spoiler follow up. Then stream the original movie on Netflix.

Love yourself so that you may love others. I find the hatred I carry around poisons my heart more than anything else.

So lighten up on V Day. Ignore the pressure. Love those you are with. Love your self.

WA State Begins Implementing I-502, Legalized Marijuana

The Washington State Liquor Control Board begins public forums this week on the implementation of I-502. I-502 legalizes posession of up to an ounce of marijuana in WA state by adults over 21.

The public meetings are the first step to licensed growers, producers, and retailers. Legal pot, taxed and sold over the counter.

Coincidently, the newly elected governor will be speaking with the Attorney General this week about the contrast between federal and state laws in both Washington and Colorado.

I for one, can’t wait!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Free 2013 Calendars from Seattle Designer Jerry Whiting

SEATTLE - Dec 1, 2012 - Calendars for 2013 have been released by Seattle designer Jerry Whiting in time for the new year. Jerry has been sharing free, downloadable calendars for many years and this year's can be found on JetCityOrange [ JetCityOrange.com/calendar/ ]

A set of 4 calendars in Acrobat PDF format can be download for free. Three of this year's calendars include QR barcodes. When scanned with a smart phone, the different QR codes bring interactivity and added features to the calendars themselves. Some may consider the QR codes Easter Eggs.

The photographs in most of the calendars were taken by Jerry but unlike years past, there is no central theme or motif. "Instead of restricting myself to orchids, neon signs, or industrial abstractions, this year I chose images I liked for no other reason that they clicked for me. It freed me up to present what I wanted, how I wanted." said Whiting. "I'm much more excited about the QR codes this year because with the spread of smart phones and the recognition of QR codes as something worth scanning, I can bring new dimensions to my 2013 calendars."

One image is of a manhole cover, something most of us drive or walk over without every looking at it. One features street art and graffiti, a favorite subject of Jerry's, and another features a Buddha statue, something even more precious to Jerry.

The individual PDF files are large because they contain high res images and are meant to be printed edge to edge.

With a month to go in 2012 there's every reason to believe that one or more 2013 calendars will be released before year's end. It's been known to happen.

JetCityOrange is a Seattle-based site that features the whims and passions of Jerry Whiting [ JetCityOrange.com/faq/ ]. There are sections on a wide variety of topics spanning meditation & Buddhism, to computer security and Tor, to photography, food, and sound files. If you can't find something on JetCityOrange you like, either you didn't look hard enough or you should go back to watching TV.

Stuffing & Dressing: a pictorial guide
