Strain Review: Candyland

Candyland is the King of KushCon.

Candyland is a sativa-dominant hybrid. It was created by crossing Granddaddy Purple and Bay Platinum Cookies. This strain is recognized by its golden hairs that entangle themselves through the sugar coated buds. Candyland is like a sweet treat, it tastes great and uplifts people’s spirits.
This strain is highly sought after because it provides a great high and it helps alleviate certain medical conditions. Smokers feel relief from pain, muscle tension and sour spirits after a few puffs of Candyland.
Candyland is a fighter able to stand up to the strongest competition. Its strong high and medical abilities make this strain stand out like a winner. This strain earned a gold in the 2012 KushCon competition, securing its place in the history of sweet cannabis.

Candyland is great for cultivators.

Perfectly happy in the outdoors and able to weather a variety of stresses, Candyland is small enough to also grow indoors. This sativa grows to a medium height and is ready to harvest in about 56-63 days. While rather easy to care for, this phenotype produces large harvests that cultivators of all levels love. The nugs don’t seem to stand up to most noob mistakes and the plant can often recover after getting help fighting off insects.
The ease of care and heavy yields mean this plant is ideal for commercial cultivation. But medical patients and recreational growers alike can cut their cultivating teeth on this plant. While perfectly at home in coco and other soil-less mediums, Candyland thrives in actual soil. The growing characteristics make it a real treat during outdoor harvests along the West Coast.

The Candyland Effects

Candyland makes the dark clouds that tend to loom over people go away. This strain brings out the sun by making smokers feel uplifted, euphoric, energetic and relaxed. Any feelings of depression, stress, fatigue, pain and headaches start to drain away.
A great strain to smoke for times like the beginning of spring. With summer just around the corner, spring is the best time to start getting ready. Dust off the old boat, rinse out the BBQ and smoke a bowl of Candyland after all that hard work.
There are a few negative effects associated with this strain. Almost all strains cause cottonmouth. But this strain is powerful enough to cause a smoker to notice the desert dry tongue.

A Sweet Tooth

Candyland is a strain that tastes like sweet candy infused with cannabis. After a few puffs of this strain, the air will start to smell like weedy cotton candy and flowers. It also has an undertone of earthiness, adding a familiar and subtle bottom to the overall flavor.
Much like its namesake, it’s not a good fit for those on a slimming diet. This strain causes the munchies and a general desire to be active. Patients looking for something to stimulate their appetite without locking them in a couch often find relief as well.
A gorgeous flower that deserves a spot at parties and fun social gatherings, Candyland has great bag appeal. Smokers also appreciate how it uplifts but keeps the mood cool and serene. This gold medal winner seems to never disappointment.

Hemp Airplane Flies High With Weed Fuel

Can you imagine flying in a hemp airplane?

The idea of a hemp airplane isn’t as far fetched as it might seem. Modern airplanes use special composite fabrics and a liquid epoxy in construction. Fiberglass and carbon fiber are the most common materials in aviation but any fabric works.
There are many reasons to use a given material. Carbon fiber is super light, but is prohibitively expensive. Fiberglass is weaker and heavier than carbon fiber, but it is far cheaper. But both materials come with heavy environmental costs over the course of their lifetime.
Hemp is heavier than carbon fiber but it is lighter than fiberglass, a favorite material of the aerospace industry. The thin strands are actually 10x stronger than steel, meaning building with it takes less material which saves weight. The manufacturing process for hemp is also carbon positive, meaning it reduces the overall level of greenhouse gases.

One stoner made a pot plane his mission.

Derek Kesey is the CEO of Hempearth Group Ltd and the face of the hemp plane. He founded the company in 2012 to explore hemp-based products that can benefit humanity. Kesey kicked things off with an Indiegogo campaign to design the 4-passenger hemp plane and followed it up with investing.
But Kesey didn’t always want to build hemp planes. A former organic-restaurant owner based in Ontario, he dabbled in music and internet marketing in the past. He has also pursued new hemp-based opportunities like hemp-based fuel and launching a cryptocurrency while developing the aircraft.
The extra projects haven’t stopped the hemp plane from moving forward though. As the first commercial airplane to be built entirely out of hemp products, it has everyone doing fly-by’s. It also plans to make headlines when she takes her inaugural flight at the Wright Brothers memorial in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

It really is a hemp airplane.

In addition to making the hard exterior shell and fuel out of hemp, the team tried to work hemp into everything they could. Things like the engine and landing gear have special requirements that prevent using hemp. But the engineers managed to get the final total to just over 75% hemp.
Wanting to make the project truly sustainable, Kesey and his team decided to ditch the traditional fuel. With oil reserves across the globe dwindling, standard options don’t make long-term sense. Instead of running on fossil fuels, the hemp plane uses Hempearth hemp oil to get airborne.
Sourcing genetics from Canada and setting up a chemistry lab in Costa Rica, Hempearth worked hard to fine tune their recipe. But now that the formula is set, they stand to revolutionize the fuel industry. If the process is cost effective going into the future, it will change the world.

Would you fly in a plane made of hemp?Where would you fly if you had a hemp airplane? Would you pay extra for hemp-based fuel to protect the environment? Would you try to smoke the seats or simply enjoy the view? Let us know in the comments below.

Strain Review: Marionberry Kush

Marionberry Kush

Marionberry Kush is a tasty hybrid that was made when crossed with Raspberry Kush and Space Queen. Closely resembling its sister Cinderella 99, Marionberry phenotypes are balanced hybrids.Bred by the TGA Genetics crew, Marionberry is desired by many for its flavor and wonderful high.
There is a bit of variation in smell/flavor between the six normal phenotypes. They range from more pineapple to strawberry and one even has potent Romulan undertones. They also generally have a little pink or purple sprinkled throughout the sugary bud structure.
This Pacific Nowthwest strain owes its name to the wild berries that grow outside the Heroes of the Farm production sites. The Marionberry name fits perfectly since these plants tend to smell fruity like a mix of passionfruit and raspberry. This plant also produces chunky colas that can turn slightly purple under the right conditions which adds to the effect.

The Quick Budding Plant

Marionberry Kush is a fun strain to grow. This medium sized plant is known for needing some space but fits well within indoor operations. The production is average at about 1-3 oz/ft of canopy but very consistent once dialed in.
The sweet aroma Marionberry Kush is known for really develops in the final days of flower. The smell of a fresh plant fills the air with a sweet scent similar to a fresh baked pie. And once the product is dried and cured, the smell remains potent and lingers in the air long after the bud leaves the area.
One of the great parts about having this plant in your grow room is that it flowers in only 7-9 weeks. The quick turn around means that indoor cultivators can squeeze a little more production into each year. The quick flowering time also helps growers who are new or otherwise impatient.

The Happy Weed

Producing a high that uplifts and relaxes, Marionberry Kush is great for daytime or active consuming. Creative tasks seem much easier while boring or dull activities become less monotonous. While dry mouth and munchies are always a concern, the overall effect is not very strong. But don’t let the minor power of the side effects make you think this in a weak strain.
This weed is strong enough for medical patients seek it out and special request it regularly. Patients who struggle with depression, pain, lack of appetite, stress and insomnia find it invaluable. It doesn’t take for the high to start kicking in either. The high is fast acting and tends to endure for several hours, especially when dabbed.
Another cool fact about this strain is that it doesn’t couch-lock people. But it still provides a nice radiating buzz effect that starts in the head and goes down the body. Overall, this strain is great to take during the day because it doesn’t get in the way of accomplishing work or otherwise engaging with others.

Have you tried smoking or growing Marionberry Pie? What was your impression of this strain? What was growing this strain like? Let us know in the comments down below.

Top 5 Medical Reasons People Use MMJ

People have many reasons for smoking MMJ.

Ask 5 stoners why they smoke MMJ and you will likely get 5 reasons. There are a lot of factors in life that dictate our actions and few are predictable or unilateral. After all, it’s hard to be an astronaut in the 1600’s or if you happen to be a felon. Not so much if you are in 1970’s Ohio though.
But that shouldn’t stop us from trying to understand why people consume marijuana. It doesn’t matter if you consume flower, concentrates, edibles or use MMJ topically. If you use marijuana medically, this list probably has you on it.
Just remember that this list is in no specific order. If you disagree with the order or think something else should have been on it, call me out in the comments. Let everyone know what I missed and why it belongs there.

Cancer

Approximately 39.6% of all men and women are diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes. While many remain benign, a vast majority grow rapidly and resist treatment. Some cancers can kill in a matter of months while others take decades to metastasize.
Research shows that MMJ helps treat certain types of cancer. There is still a long way to go but cannabinoids like THC, CBD and CBN show great promise. Especially in cancers like: breast, brain, liver, melanoma, and leukemia.

Epilepsy

Epilepsy is a condition where your brain misfires and causes a seizure. But unlike popular perception, it doesn’t just come from flashing lights. Seizures may even come on unprovoked, as though out of nowhere and for no reason.
There is no cure for epilepsy and it can affect anyone, even children. There are few options on the market that are truly safe for children. But CBD is one of the few natural alternatives to prescription medications that works.
With 65 million people suffering from epilepsy worldwide, cannabis has a lot of work to do.

Chronic Pain

Life is tough and can leave you in constant pain for many reasons. More than 1.5 billion people suffer from chronic pain worldwide with 50 million of them living in the united states. Healing can take a long time and many common pain killers come with risks of dependency or overdose.
Marijuana isn’t chemically addictive like oxycodone or dangerous in large quantities like aspirin. So as patients heal, they can reduce or eliminate using with no long term side effects. As a bonus, we still have zero confirmed deaths exclusively from consuming too much weed.

Anxiety

Some people need help getting through a situation. Others need help just chilling out in general. This includes those suffering from OCD, panic disorder, phobias, bipolar disorder and many other variants.
For the 18% of the U.S. population suffering from anxiety disorders, medication makes life manageable. But not everyone wants to use Xanax to get the job done. Unlike cigarettes or e-juice, cannabis vapor doesn’t harm lungs or cause cancer.

Depression

About 350 million people have depression. Many prescriptions to treat it come with dangerous side effects or are unsafe for children. While THC may be controversial for teens to have, CBD offers many of the same benefits without the cognitive impairment.
Despite this, the federal status of marijuana keeps it from being prescribed in many cases. As a Schedule 1 Drug, it is legally considered to have no medical value. Many doctors simply refuse to prescribe MMJ for religious reasons or because of corporate policies. But increasing acceptance and legal reform are lowering that number.

Israeli Study Shows Cannabis Safe for Elderly

A New Israeli Study

Tikun Olam clinics are the largest Israeli suppliers of medical marijuana. They partnered with Israel’s Soroka University Medical Center, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem to study the effects of marijuana use on elderly patients.
Participants in the study predominantly use cannabis to treat cancer or severe pain issues. They also all consumed prescribed doses of only strains provided and developed by Tikun Olam. After closely studying 2,736 geriatric medical marijuana users between January 2015 and October 2017, researchers finally had the data they needed.
The Israeli researchers published their findings in early February 2018 in the European Journal of Internal Medicine. They found that 93.7% of participants in the study reported pain was reduced by 50% thanks to marijuana use. Many participants also reduced or even eliminated their dependence on prescription opioids.

Cannabis Medical Efficacy Proven

After six months of treatment, the israeli patients in the study reported that their overall pain level was reduced by half. But marijuana treatments are not without side effects. Luckily for those involved, the only real side effects researchers found were dizziness and dry mouth.
Yet the side effects were considered minor and never progressed beyond simple discomfort. The researchers were happy to find that patient dependence on pain medication including opioids also decreased while consuming cannabis. Since seniors make up a significant portion of the opioid using population, cannabis seems an ideal tool to battle the opioid epidemic.
Many pharmaceuticals that people take have a long list of terrible side effects. Some antidepressants cause depression and thoughts of suicide. Many pain treatments like Percocet and Oxycodone are also dangerously addictive. Marijuana on the other hand, has proven to have no dangerous side effects, is non-addictive, is impossible to overdose on and helps recovering opioid addicts.

Still More Research Needed

Cannabis definitely seems like the safer alternative than opioids. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with the idea of cannabis. People in positions of power like Attorney General Jeff Sessions complain about the opioid epidemic sweeping across America yet seem to take every action possible to prevent its resolution.
Luckily for medical patients everywhere, research is still underway. Israeli organizations like Tikun Olam, Soroka University Medical Center, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem produce adds to the growing body of evidence proving cannabis is a miraculous plant. But we need more research to prove all the benefits of marijuana.
The researchers of this study note in their paper a need for more evidence-based research. Especially research data from double-blind, randomized controlled trials. They also note that the entire geriatric population stands to benefit the most from these studies since they consume the majority of opioid-based pain killers. Unfortunately, seniors also tend to be the most resistant to the idea of medical marijuana.

How do you feel about seniors using marijuana to treat pain? Would you ever participate in a study like this? Do you know anyone who has decreased or completely removed opioids from their life thanks to cannabis? Let us know in the comment section below!

Holland Takes Sessions to Federal Court

David Holland is here to defend marijuana.

Holland is a member of the legal team representing 5 plaintiffs in an ongoing suit against the current Attorney General.But he is no fledgling looking to make a name for himself. He is a litigator in New York City and the legal director of Empire State NORML. He also used to be on the High Times Magazine legal team and is a member of the New York Cannabis Bar Association.
So when it comes to productive stoners, he is one of the shining examples. But he feels that the current state of marijuana enforcement is unsustainable. Holland’s firm is suing Sessions and the DEA. The suit claims the classification of cannabis under the Controlled Substances Act is unconstitutional.
Their list of reasons include it violates rights surrounding travel, business and racial discrimination against communities of color. Basically, the law works to discriminate and criminalize communities that don’t have the power or money to resist. Sessions and the DEA failed to get the case dismissed.

The case is going forward.

Holland’s legal team managed to convince US District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein to let the case go forward. That decision was made in large part because of the personal experiences the plaintiffs had with medical marijuana. The medical efficacy of cannabis to treat patients suffering from a variety of ailments is so apparent, the court has to reconsider the constitutionality of the law.
Despite the strong support showed by the judge, it is still too early to break out the champagne. Despite a mountain of evidence showing the opposite, Jeff Sessions continues to blame marijuana for the opioid epidemic. And with almost no pressure from the White House to change his stance, there is little to stop him from waging a emotionally motivated war against the American population.
Attorney General Sessions is the same person that thought the KKK was OK. At least until he found out some of them smoked marijuana. And he is the same person who said “I can’t remember” in one form or another over 26 times when asked under oath. The performance showed how willing he is to stonewall and deflect about his questionable activities.

The CCC believes marijuana prohibition is racist.

Some plaintiffs claim that people of color are disproportionately targeted for prosecution for marijuana offenses. Armed with scientific evidence and confessions, the Cannabis Cultural Association (CCA) went to bat for its members. We still don’t know how Judge Hellerstein will rule on the racism claims presented by the CCA. But Judge Hellerstein seemed unconvinced by opening statements showing that the Nixon administration admitted to criminalizing marijuana for the express purpose of suppressing minorities and social backlash against the Vietnam War.
Both sides of the case are preparing for a long battle. But despite the court clearly favoring marijuana reclassification, there are many hurdles to overcome. One major hurdle is making sure the court doesn’t pass off the problem to a dysfunctional and ideologically insane Congress. But Holland hopes to keep that from happening.
There is always the possibility the court will decide to ship the final decision over to Congress because of the political controversy surrounding marijuana. But proving its controversial is harder than ever for Sessions defense team. There are more than 30 states and the District of Columbia that already passed legislation legalizing marijuana in some form. With so many, there isn’t much controversy left. But don’t underestimate the vitriol and determination of the diminutive lawyer from Alabama.

Do you think the court will reschedule marijuana? Do you think the Attorney General is doing the right thing or mad with power? What would you do if cannabis became federally legal tomorrow? Let us know in the comments below!

How to get a Job in Cannabis Business?

Ever thought about being a manager of a cannabis store? Or maybe a grow master? With an annual salary of up to $100,000, these positions attract more and more people in the industry. In fact, the legal cannabis industry has become a major job generator, with the number of employed people exceeding the number of bakers and dental hygienists.

The State of the Cannabis Industry

Marijuana Business Daily recently used the data of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics to create Marijuana Business Factbook 2017 and compare the number of employees in the marijuana industry to mainstream professions. According to these sources, the cannabis industry employed 165,000+ workers in 2017.

This number is expected to reach 400,000 by 2021, opening high paying jobs all over the U.S. Clearly, the industry is booming, and new job opportunities are expected to grow over the next several years. Here are some examples of high-paying jobs as described by CNBC:

Store Manager ($75,000)
Cannabis Sales Representative ($80,000)
Dispensary Owner ($60,000)
Grow Master ($100,000)
Edibles Chefs ($50,000 – $100,000)

Here is the breakdown of marijuana industry jobs by sector, also courtesy of Marijuana Business Factbook 2017.

So should you try to become a part of this profitable business? If you think you should, here are some pointers you could use.

Does One Have to be a User?

First and foremost, many people think that one has to be a user to work in the marijuana industry. Cannabis businesses hire people from other industries and being a cannabis user isn’t a mandatory requirement.

How to Get a Job in Cannabis Business

Start by Doing Research

If you don’t have any experience or knowledge of the legal cannabis industry (e.g. you have no idea how to make dab or what the hack dab is), don’t worry – it’s totally okay to be starting from scratch. Do your research and you’ll discover a lot of useful information very quickly.

Just by reading this article, you’re already working on researching. So just ask Google what you need; for example, sign up for cannabis industry reliable website, newsletter, or blog.

Get Certified

Getting a certification for a particular in-demand skill is one of the best ways to get a job in the industry. The key skill, of course, is the ability to grow marijuana plants. That’s okay if you’ve never grown it.

Cannabis businesses are looking for graduates from agricultural schools and those with certificates from training schools. For example, cultivators hire people with experience in agricultural operations, like growing tomatoes. Retailers are looking for candidates who worked in stores and restaurants and can communicate with customers.

So, enroll in a course that will teach you how to grow plants and get a certification. THC University and Cannabis Training University online courses are great places to begin training.

Check Popular Job Boards

When you have your certification ready, it’s time to go job hunting. Visit popular job boards like Indeed and search for cannabis jobs in your area. Also, you need to check boards that list marijuana industry jobs, including CannaJobs and 420Carrers.

Look Professional

There are two important parts here: dressing and resume. First, you should dress like you’d dress for an interview with Elon Musk. Right now, cannabis businesses are trying to distance themselves from “stoner hippie” stereotypes and show that they are professional.

Second, your cover letter should be great. Proofread everything, avoid slang, and make a professional email address (not something like Ilikepot@gmail.com!). When explaining your passion for cannabis, also avoid lines like “I want to be around pot all the time.” Say that you’re a professional and you appreciate cannabis.

How to become an Owner of a Cannabis Company?

To open a dispensary or other marijuana-related business, you need to comply with a number of laws and regulations. Greenzipp offers the list of state-by-state laws and news for you to check out. For example, here’s how to obtain a license for a dispensary in Colorado.

In addition to assessing your eligibility and legal requirements, you should find a rental property; the choice of the property should also follow a number of guidelines (e.g. it has to be more than 1000 feet from school).

And don’t forget about the business plan. It’s still a business, right? It shows a serious attitude and commitment to reaching success. Consider all costs, including licensing application fee, rent cost, cost of license, employee salary, security, and transportation and storage of products.

Wrapping Up

If you’re unsure of the best way to get their foot on the door, use these tips to lock down a cannabis-related career. Taking a leap into the burgeoning new industry could be a great adventure for you; besides you timing couldn’t be better, as cannabis market is becoming one of the fastest-growing ones in the U.S.

Weekly Strain Breakdown: Pineapple Chunk

Pineapple Chunk

Pineapple Chunk is a heavy hitting hybrid. It is a creeper because the high doesn’t kick in right away. It takes a few minutes for the full body buzz and cerebral punch to kick in. But most people don’t notice the high creep in because they are relaxed on the couch taking it all in.
Pineapple Chunk was developed by Barney’s Farm. They used a cross between Cheese and Skunk #1 with one of their own Pineapple strains to create Pineapple Chunk. They new strain has successfully inherited its parents high THC count with a small amount of CBD.
This strain has amazing painkilling and stress-relieving capabilities. It also makes smokers feel like they gave their brain an energy boost. This is not the ideal strain to treat anxiety or insomnia because of the cerebral jolt this strain provides. But, it is a nice strain to smoke after a long hard day of work, or as a treat for getting a big job done.

Growing Notes

This strain is resistant to mold and illness. It flowers quickly (55-69 days indoors). It’s ready for harvest by the end of September. The buds become a normal shade of green with purple streaks here and there.
Pineapple’s grow naturally in hot environments, and this strain is no different. It will grow to it greatest potential in hot and temperate climates. The yields are high (650 gr/m^2) which is surprising for such a short plant. The last test results came back to Barney’s Farm with 25% THC and 1.1% CBD. The high should be strong and long lasting.
Currently, it is difficult to find clipping of Pineapple Chunk. But luckily, Barney’s Farm sells Pineapple Chunk seeds. Now anyone can try their hand at cultivating their own Pineapple Chunk crop.

When to Smoke

After one big puff of Pineapple Chunk, smokers will feel stoned. This is not a good social weed because although the mind feels a sense of awakeness, the body feels like it doubled in weight on the couch. As if someone raised the gravity intensity around them because they don’t want to move from where they took their last hit.
All smokers can use this strain to feel creative, energized, euphoric, happy, relaxed and uplifted. But medical patients can use this strain for other specialized purposes. This strain helps people with arthritis, chronic pain, depression, Fibromyalgia, Insomnia, Loss of Appetite, Migraines, PTSD, stress, epilepsy and tremors.
This strain doesn’t generally put people to sleep because of the cerebral energy it provides. But, people who can’t sleep because of their serious medical conditions can benefit from this strain. This strain helps the body to calm down. If patient’s bodies ache too much or if they can’t stop shaking, they can finally get a chance to sleep.

More Cheese, Less Earth

The smell is so potent and distinct that it is easy to tell the parents of the strain. It has a strong cheese and sweet pineapple smell, along with hints of earth and skunk. There is no hiding this strain, the smell gives everyone away.
When this strain is inhaled, the smoke is smooth. It doesn’t cause too many smokers to go into a coughing fit. And the taste is strongly reminiscent of pineapples.
This strain is fun to smoke with your crew and be stoned in front of the T.V. together. Or go on a relaxing walk before the weed couch locks you. This is a fun strain to smoke when there is free time to relax and smell the roses.
Have you smoked Pineapple Chunk? Did this strain sneak a fast one by you? What is it like smoking too much Pineapple Chunk? Does this strain help treat pain and sleep well? What were your growing experiences like with this strain? Let us know in the comments down below.
