Cannabis Culture David Downs — Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 1:15 PM
The first-ever High Times San Francisco Medical Cannabis Cup drew long lines and packed crowds over the weekend, as local dispensaries competed for the prize of the best product. Roughly nine expert judges rated the best Sativa, Indica, Concetrates (hash), and Edibles, then awarded top prizes Sunday night. The winner: "God's Pussy" by the dispensary GreanBicycles in the Sativa category and the "Cali Gold" strain from Mr. Natural Inc. Also of note: South Africa's legendary "Durban Poison," which we covered, took third. All the winners and more news after the jump.

—The Roots' web site Okayplayer reports, "KiD CuDi is ready to make that push for his upcoming sophomore album. Here's his official first single, the Plain Pat produced, "REVOFEV" (pronounced Rev Of Ev which stands for Revolution of Evolution). Cudi's sophomore album, Man On The Moon II: The Legend Of Mr. Rager, is due out September 14th." Download the free .mp3 of "Revofev".
— New York's Mayor Bloomberg had the gall to talk smack about bud in the Big Apple the same week Ted Koppel's son was found to have died in New York of readily available alcohol, prescription drugs, and cocaine laced with Levamisole. Good thing he stayed away from weed.
— Boing Boing posts on a new "hydroponics lifestyle" magazine Rosebud in San Francisco, which shockingly doesn't treat people who recreationaly smoke cannabis like they are morons. [via The Bay Citizen]
"Indeed, rather than fat bud close-ups, the Bay Area-based magazine offers travel features, extreme sports, actor profiles, buxom ladies and other airport newsstand staples, as well as a few technical articles on seed selection and better yields. As Rosebud sees it, marijuana growers and users may be central to their readership, but their non-pot interests jibe perfectly with a lifestyle magazine. Indeed, Straumietis says the magazine is just the first arm of a growing media division that will soon include a mobile channel, a partnership with GoTV and possibly even a TV series."
— The war on drugs is really a war on sex waged by joyless prudes, new study finds and Cannabis Culture reports. [via Science A Go Go]
"If you were to measure people's political ideology, religiosity and personality characteristics, you can predict to some degree how people feel about recreational drugs. But if, instead, you just measure how people feel about casual sex, and ignore the abstract items, the predictions about people's views on drugs in fact become quite a bit better."
— And Haaretz reports on an Israeli drought that's sending local bud price sky high. That's instant karma, blockaders.

Long before the Tea Bag Party, an activist and publisher, Marc Emery of Canada stood up for his and all of our rights and sold cannabis seeds in political protest of US marijuana laws.
Today he is being punished for using the funds from his activism to promote legalization. Worse, he is in solitary confinement without appeal for breaking an unwritten rule against recording prison phone calls with his wife.
He is currently imprisoned for five years, extradited from his home country despite laws that prohibit political persecutions; certainly the total fine had he been charged north of the border would have been a minor fine and no jail time.
The law falsely claims: "Marijuana is classified as a Schedule I substance, §812(c), based on its high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use, and no accepted safety for use in medically supervised treatment, §812(b)(1). This classification renders the manufacture, distribution, or possession of marijuana a criminal offense. §§841(a)(1), 844(a). Pp. 6—11."

Millions have been arrested since DHHS applied for 2003 US Patent No. 6630507 in 1999, despite the title* of that federal document . . .
Wait, what's DHHS? At the top of this page:
supersoberme.com has a direct link to the feedback page of the US Department of Health and Human Services, the federal agency that was issued 2003 US Patent No. 6630507, "Cannabinoids as antioxidants and neuroprotectants", linked here:

Don't just blog. Free Marc Emery:
DHHS should remove raw cannabis from scheduling, it's healthy food regardless of THC content and belongs untaxed as such. Artificial and manufactured cannabinoids may be appropriately listed in Schedule V.
