VICELAND, EMERALD TRIANGLE, FARMERS

Weed farmers vs corporate cannabis.   Farmers are the backbone of society. No farmer = no food is the usual view. No food means no happy people, no matter what North Korea says. Unhappy people means street fighting man comes out swinging. Then it’s taser, water cannon, arrests, trials, jail. Not a pretty picture anywhere. […]

BIG BUSINESS WEED LIFE

Where real life and weed life cross. The scene: Six hundred sq ft, two bedroom duplex on West 420 and Avenue J with the co-owner living on the other side. One bedroom is rigged as a marijuana grow room with every state, city, and county license, permit, and certificate posted on the door. Their motto: […]

WHO GETS FOOLED AGAIN? WHO? WHO?

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Baby boomers grew up with The Man. It wasn’t daddy, but daddy knew The Man. Sometimes daddy was on The Man reserve. Who is The Man? It’s the police Man. We saw him at the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The Man swung a hard […]

IN PRAISE OF CANAPRENEURS AND THE OTHER SPOT

Canapreneurs manage risk with cannabis business. The Other Spot was part of it. Who remembers their favorite bar? Was it on a college campus? In your neighborhood? Maybe you’re still looking. Here’s one blogger’s list: J.C. Dobbs, South Street, Philadelphia. Long and narrow with a band playing in the back. It was the ‘go to’ […]

GENERATION BOOMER AND THE DAMAGE DONE

They came in the as Boomer Generation, leaving as a Generation Boomer. Generation Boomer, at least those with millennial kids, lived up to the name. Our Millennials lead the list of the ‘most populous generation’ category. And most photogenic. You can’t be too smug when you’ve produced the biggest generation since the Baby Boomers, the […]

LEGAL OREGON WEED MAKES YOU STUPID?

So How Do You Explain The Way Legal Oregon Weed Navigated The Legal System? As a sixty year old baby boomer I like age limits high for alcohol, weed, and tobacco. You could raise them even higher and who’d complain? Just as long as I’m not too young. Dangers to youth are no joking matter. […]

HEMPFEST VS BREWFEST

Where Field Research Makes ALL The Difference. The view from walking into a Hempfest: Lots of people stretched out asleep. Tables selling brownies and cookies beside the walk up. The sleepers were on the grass behind them. It looked like a scene from a Charlton Heston movie, one of those where he’s the last man […]

OREGON LEGAL WEED?

Oregon Legal Weed Law Breaks Ground? Not Really. The modern stoner may not do a ten year blast for weed seeds. Getting high and getting caught isn’t a one way ticket to the felon life, but you will pay a price if you don’t follow the rules. Toward that end a radio ad explains how […]

420 TWITTER FEED

Straight Dope On High Holiday From Twitter Feed. Any marketer will explain Twitter as a bet on the odds. With so many Twitter members you’ll find an audience waiting. What if you’re not selling anything, just joining and creating a twitter feed to be a part of it all? Baby boomers might join to stay […]

THE COLOR OF OREGON BOOMERS

From Tie-Dye To Green. It’s hard to avoid the noise about legal weed. Colorado, Washington, and whatever’s happening in California, nearly surrounds Oregon in hemp. Once Idaho jumps in, it’s all over. If it’s good enough for apple knockers, spud boys, and the Golden State, why not Oregon? That’s the question that’ll be answered behind […]
