		<description><![CDATA[Captain Chronic and Pot Tarts medical marijuana honorary mention at Colorado State legislative meeting on CO HB 11 - 1250 edible ban and packaging debate.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Colorado State Legislature and Colorado Law Enforcement have officially gone to pot.  Honorary recognition of fallen heroes Cap&#8217;n Crunch and Pot Tarts was in full effect at the public testimony meeting about CO HB 11 &#8211; 1250.  High Country caregiver found these photos online of the alleged products which appear non-existent in Colorado marijuana dispensaries.  In reaching out to the greater marijuana universe, TuTone has discovered that no one has ever seen these products, and if Colorado regulations are ever enforced, no one ever will get to chill with the Captain Chronic.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Growing marijuana outdoors vs indoors is an easy choice to make.  Outdoor grown marijuana is always better because it has room to express its majesty, doesn't leave a carbon footprint, and provides a quality irae high for the consumer.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Would you rather go to the tanning bed or go tan on the beach in Acapulco?  Cannabis is part of our human anatomy, and just like humans, the cannabis plant would much rather grow under natural light than artificial light.  One of the loopholes that cannabis consumers and producers can take advantage of under current Colorado law is to grow cannabis outside.  You may find a few seeds in your weed this time of year, but don&#8217;t be discouraged, your plants are telling you that it&#8217;s almost spring and time to move the garden to the great outdoors.  Colorado law says nothing about growing plants outdoors, and cultivators of the herb can avoid regulations like video surveillance of their plants by moving gardens outdoors this year.  When was the last time you saw cameras recording a field of plants as they grow?</p>
<p>Pictured below is some bud that was grown outdoors in California, a personal favorite, the Aff Goo.  Aff Goo originated in the the eastern highlands of Northern California in Grass Valley, CA.  Humboldt County, Trinity County, and Mendocino Counties compose the emerald triangle of California and supply the bulk of medical marijuana around the country, but Grass Valley is also on the weed map for the Aff Goo specifically.  What is Aff Goo?  The gooiest Afghan strain that has ever been crafted for your smoking pleasure.  Aff Goo is a unique strain of cannabis that has an amazing intoxicating smell from the moment you crack the lid on your stash jar.  Aff Goo unlike other bud has the bulk of it&#8217;s THC content on leaves which are dripping with gooey THC and are often not trimmed away like other buds leaves.  Enjoy Aff Goo for a unique marijuana experience.  This is the kind of bud that grows great outdoors, in the fresh air or California, Colorado, and other medical states free of to grow into a bountiful expression of the cannabis plant.</p>
<p>Growing outdoors in Colorado is possible almost anywhere, even in the High Country.  <a title="greens mans marijuana" href="http://www.greenmanspage.com/guides/howtogrowmarijuana.html" target="_blank">GreensMan&#8217;s Page</a> has some excellent specifics on growing outdoors and indoors.  For Colorado cannabis consumers who have been stuck with confined indoor grown buds, free your toking experience, and blaze up some outdoor bud.  Take a break from being high and get irae.  The carbon footprint left by indoor growing can not be passed to future generations, and now is the time to bring the plants out of the closets and basements, and into the great sunny outdoors of Colorado.  Colorado has followed Cali&#8217;s lead with marijuana production, and now it&#8217;s time to bring the sunlight to Colorado.  High Country Caregiver, keeping the High in pot smoking for all the real tokers out there; get irae with some outdoor Cali Bud.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Medical marijuana skit on Saturday Night Live a pun on the original CNN story about the Colorado crew who travels around the state writing pot scripts.  Here we come, there's your card, now let's go buy some mountain weed!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was great seeing marijuana return to TV this weekend on Saturday Night Live where a skit / pun was played on the traveling medical marijuana doctors in the air stream that we all heard about on CNN this week;  <a title="CNN marijuana SNL marijuana skit" href="http://articles.cnn.com/2011-02-10/us/mobile.medical.marijuana_1_dispensaries-medicaid-doctors?_s=PM:US" target="_blank">CNN Story</a>.  A doctor in Colorado has created a traveling clinic in Colorado where patients can get their medical marijuana card and start buying weed immediately.  Saturday Night Live and the entire planet picked up on the pot mobile universe in ganja heaven Colorado and played a pun on the traveling docs on this Saturday Night Lives showing.  The Colorado marijuana community says that SNL should take weed seriously, well no one gets it more right then the SNL pot skit below with Chris Farley in the classic &#8220;Down by the River&#8221;.</p>
<p>SNL has a history of marijuana and drug use in general, marijuana goes well with humor of course, makes things funnier and certainly takes the edge off the stand up comedians on SNL.  Stage fright can be reduced with a few good bong hits before you speak or perform in front of an audience.  In this skit, Matt Foley &#8220;In a Van Down by the River&#8221; talks to kids about marijuana, something that all marijuana patients and caregivers should do.  Whether you have a marijuana card or plan to renew your marijuana card soon, take the time to have some fun with weed.  Pack a fat bong and enjoy this SNL weed skit.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Colorado Department of Revenue Pot Clowns will be meeting today to hear public input regarding the 99 pages of marijuana regulations that were released last month.  Overgrow is over and now it's time to over throw the government.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Growing marijuana back in the day involved learning from a handful of people that knew how to do it or learning from an old internet website overgrow.com which has been extinct since it mysteriously vanished years ago.  It&#8217;s 2011 and finding information about growing weed is really easy.  Now days you can even find someone to grow your weed for you, a caregiver, so obtaining weed is easy, and underground internet grow websites are completely above ground like this one teaching you everything you need to know about the State of Weed in America.</p>
<p>With overgrow  not as important, what&#8217;s important now is an overthrow of the government.  It&#8217;s nice to see peaceful players like <a title="ACT420" href="http://cannabismmj.com/" target="_blank">ACT420.org</a> organizing meetings and allowing patients to speak about there concerns, but this is not getting anywhere with helping patients.  Today is yet another Colorado Department of Revenue hearing where the public will be given a chance to give input on CO HB 1284 and the 99 pages of regulations that #1 Pot Clown Matt Cook is unleashing on Colorado pot heads.  ACT420 has taken the time to shred the 99 pages of regulations, especially the parts about cameras, fingerprinting patients, and other invasions of privacy.  The organization has a template for how to address the board at the DOR and be cordial at the meeting.  This has gone on for too long.  It&#8217;s predicted that &#8216;The Department&#8217; will not listen to any of this the rules will be passed as they are regardless.  There is no hope of achieving anything with the Pot Clowns as the DOR ACT420, give it up and get real and quit fooling patients in Colorado.  Weed is everywhere, don&#8217;t play into the traps of the regulations that will only harm patients and violate their privacy.  The Pot Clowns will interfere with your weed, but this pot head knows when it&#8217;s Mother Nature&#8217;s Call to Arms!</p>
<div id="attachment_1846" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 269px"><a href="http://highcountrycaregiver.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/clown-gun-weed.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1846" title="clown gun weed" src="http://highcountrycaregiver.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/clown-gun-weed.jpg" alt="pot clown weed with marijuana" width="259" height="195" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Pot Clowns up in Arms</p></div>
<p>Before CO HB 10 &#8211; 1284 was passed, the State Legislature allowed the same public input, and nothing was done in favor of patients or to protect them.  The solution to the current problem is not to renew your medical marijuana card, don&#8217;t give the CDPHE or DOR any more money and don&#8217;t play their game.  Patients and caregiver&#8217;s rights are already protected under Amendment 20, and no government body shall interfere.  Since the government is interfering with cannabis in Colorado, it&#8217;s time to OVER THROW the government, not work with them in helping make rules to keep control of the people.  Thursday and Friday&#8217;s meetings don&#8217;t need peaceful input, they need a lynch mob that will put an end to those interfering.  Would you still purchase from a dispensary <a title="dispensary survey" href="http://marijuana.wufoo.com/forms/marijuana-purchase-survey/" target="_blank">SURVEY HERE</a></p>
<p><strong>UPDATE:</strong></p>
<p>12:50 PM:  According the the <a title="marijuana laws Colorado" href="http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_17218167" target="_blank">Denver Post</a> only about 30 people testified at the DOR medical marijuana hearing today, most of them dispensary owners, edible manufacturers, and attorneys.  According to a Westword<a title="Rob Corry Medical Marijuana" href="http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2011/01/medical_marijuana_rob_corry_department_of_revenue_regulations_hearing.php" target="_blank"> interview with attorney Rob Corry</a> not many patients will be going to dispensaries anymore after their purchases are recorded and tracked by law enforcement.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[President Obama did not even mention marijuana, pot, weed, or cannabis in his State of the Union address for January 2011.  Marijuana is everywhere in the news across the country and as we turn to be a prosperous nation of cannabis growers, the president left the pot heads out of the Union.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Since Obama neglected to mention cannabis at last night&#8217;s State of the Union address, High Country Caregiver takes a toke of El Presidente spliff now that it&#8217;s 420 Colorado time and addresses the State of Marijuana in Colorado.</p>
<p>At a time like this with so much uncertainty, we must join together with one common vision&#8230;.</p>
<p>When children are blamed for the nations drug problems, and the finger is pointed at the sick and weak for using cannabis, it&#8217;s time to stand up and say; YES I CAN SMOKE POT</p>
<p>When the Colombian drug cartels have better internet access in the middle of the jungle than most Americans, take a deep <a title="Marijuana Website" href="http://inhale.co" target="_blank">inhale</a>.</p>
<p>Now that I have your attention I want to say that the only way Americans will ever be safe from unjust marijuana laws is to legalize cannabis.  The madness has to end.  Out of everything that you pointed out about changes needed in our country Obama, why didn&#8217;t you mention legalizing cannabis.  So many proud, educated, able Americans have had their lives ruined by your drug laws, yet you fail to even mention it.  Every major newspaper in every major city in your country has done articles on medical marijuana, so certainly you know how we are becoming a unified nation of cannabis producers and can shut the doors on the drug problems from overseas related to cannabis with your ending the drug war.  The time is now President Obama legalize marijuana and make America a more successful prosperous nation.  We leave you tonight with a vision once had about Obama and weed that was promised and never came true.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Leave the booze behind and light up the blunt if you are in High School.  High Country Caregiver has never bought into the notions that marijuana is bad for high school people, lowers grades, leads to other drugs, or any of that hoopla.  Colorado is a great place for marijuana and there is no reason why kids shouldn&#8217;t be able to use medical marijuana in our great state of pot.  Amendment 20, the only recognized marijuana law in Colorado has an application that allows for those under 18 to legally obtain medical marijuana.  <a title="high school marijuana" href="http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/hs/medicalmarijuana/MINOR%20APP%20PACKAGE%20Writeable%202010.pdf" target="_blank">Colorado 18 and under marijuana application</a>.  Since kids can now legally obtain marijuana in Colorado, marijuana use among high school students is <a title="marijuana and kids" href="http://www.medpagetoday.com/Blogs/23944" target="_blank">way up</a>, with as many as 30% of Colorado High School Seniors using marijuana, the good stuff too, on a regular basis.<br />

Just how many teens are using marijuana in the US on a daily basis?, about 46,000 high school students according to <a title="More news, photos about National Institute on Drug Abuse" href="http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/National+Institute+on+Drug+Abuse">National Institute on Drug Abuse</a> (<a title="More news, photos about NIDA" href="http://content.usatoday.com/topics/topic/National+Institute+on+Drug+Abuse">NIDA</a>) use marijuana on a daily basis.  46,000 students smoking marijuana sounds bad, but many of those are <a title="marijuana vs cigarettes" href="http://www.usatoday.com/yourlife/health/2010-12-14-teen-marijuana-study_N.htm?csp=34news" target="_blank">giving up cigarettes</a> in order to smoke something healthier, marijuana, which has never hurt anyone.  It is important living in a State like Colorado where marijuana is legal to educate our children through out their growth about the benefits of marijuana and the dangers of cigarettes, sorry Marlboro, there&#8217;s a new smoke in town.  Children all over Colorado are learning from the news, their hommies, and our ever increasing social acceptance of natural medicine, that marijuana is simply a better choice than cigarettes and alcohol, and can even heal those who are sick.  Talk to your kids about drugs today, smoke a joint with your high school kid today, and be just as cool as school.<br />

<p>Cannabis is a psychoactive drug, and like all good things, you have to learn to use herb properly.  The <a href="http://highcountrycaregiver.com/wordpress/2010/09/marijuana-first-time/">first time</a> you smoke marijuana it may not get you high, so keep smoking marijuana, and you will eventually discover the magic of the sacred herb.  Jah Bless the High Country, bringing the &#8216;High&#8217; back to High School legally.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[John Hickenlooper, soon to be Governor of the great marijuana state of Colorado will now be able to grow weed and balance the budget with his 225 acre marijuana grow in Park County Colorado.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With a new Governor, Governor Hickenlooper moving into the state of Colorado come January, it&#8217;s time to offer the service of being the Governor of Colorado&#8217;s caregiver.  The governor should know by now that obtaining his medicine from a caregiver will have the obvious benefits of privacy, better medicine, and of course better prices.  The Denver Post recently did an article on wealthy land barons in Colorado such as Governor Hickenlooper, and discovered that our soon to be leader of the #1 marijuana state in the US <a title="Hickenlooper Marijuana" href="http://www.statebillnews.com/2010/12/gov-elect-pays-only-75-in-taxes-annually-on-park-county-spread/" target="_blank">pays only $75 dollars per year</a> on his 225 acre Park County ranch.  <a href="http://www.marijuanaphotos.co/">Marijuana Photos.</a></p>
<p>Senator Romer has already <a title="Romer marijuana" href="http://www.coloradostatesman.com/content/992337-sen-romer-launches-denver-mayoral-bid" target="_blank">announced</a> that he will run for mayor of Denver when Hickenlooper&#8217;s mayoral seat is vacant and Hickenlooper becomes governor.  Romer is known for creative ways of tax gouging including holding up dispensaries for ransom with their balls in check.  Hickenlooper, with his 225 acres of land in Park County, and excellent caregivers in the Bailey / Conifer area to supply clones, may just be set to start working on taking care of Colorado&#8217;s budget.  Ritter got a taste of weed money when he intercepted $9 million in ganja cash bagged and tagged by the department of revenue before it could be further intercepted by the DEA.  With all of that cash helping Colorado squeak by another fiscal year, it&#8217;s time to get in the mud up on the 225 acre Park County ranch where an overwhelming majority of voters decided to keep it real and keep the supply of high grade mountain cannabis flowering.  The mountains of Colorado are not conductive to outdoor marijuana cultivation with out very high tech green houses, but with only $75 a year paid in property taxes, that extra pot money in Hickenlooper&#8217;s pocket can be used to buy all of the ganja growing equipment needed to give every pot head in Colorado a few joints and balance the budget.</p>
<p>Could the duo, Hickenlooper and Romer be planning to grow an enormous amount of medical marijuana in the mountains of Colordo?  Evidence that Hickenlooper may be planning to grow marijuana on the land in Park County comes from the Park County Assessor Dave Wissel who recalls the pair’s approach being  “backasswards,” he says. Normally, a property is already designated  “agricultural” before a conservation easement is placed on it, but  Hickenlooper already had begun placing easements on certain  sections of the land.</p>
<p>When it comes time to growing remember to choose a good caregiver John Hickenlooper, one that will provide you with the organic medical marijuana that you deserve.  Thanks for keeping Colorado a great place for marijuana, and enjoy growing cannabis in the High Country.<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="http://highcountrycaregiver.com" show_faces="true" width="450"></fb:like></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr. Nice from Sensi seed bank finishing up.  The Sensi seeds likely started from the original clipping of the purple Mr. Nice Guy from a California medical marijuana provider.  www.420.co or 420.co ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a debate amongst cannabis growers raging, &#8220;who has the best marijuana seeds?&#8221;  The choices in America are very limited, and we have all heard of seeds from Amsterdam and Europe.  Sensi seeds Mr. Nice is a good example of an heirloom marijuana strain started in California and known as Mr. Nice Guy, and brought back to Amsterdam by Sensi seeds and relabeled Mr. Nice (G 13 X HashPlant).  The distinction between the two may be that original Mr. Nice Guy from Cali is actually a purple hashplant with very desirable taste and smell and effect after smoked.  The Sensi Seed company likely took the Cali Mr. Nice clone and crossed it with the legendary G 13 male pollen to produce Mr. Nice, sin &#8216;Guy&#8217;.  When it&#8217;s time to smoke again you can get back to us with short url 420.co, that&#8217;s <a title="420.co" href="http://420.co" target="_blank">www.420.co</a> without the .com.  4:20 time www.420.co</p>
<div id="attachment_1673" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 625px"><a href="http://highcountrycaregiver.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/MrNiceMacro1.jpg"><img class="size-large wp-image-1673" title="Mr Nice Macro" src="http://highcountrycaregiver.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/MrNiceMacro1-1024x637.jpg" alt="mr nice, sensi" width="615" height="382" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Mr Nice Macro Detail (Sensi Seeds)</p></div>
<p>Next time you go to purchase your medical marijuana from a dispensary be sure to bring a <a title="macro marijuana photo" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loupe" target="_blank">loupe</a>, or jewelers magnifier with you and search for amber trichromes.  In our experience with dispensary weed, most Colorado medical marijuana dispensaries harvest their weed early.  Weed harvested premature smells more and still looks pretty, but will never offer the high of fully mature herb, like the Mr. Nice from Sensi Seeds pictured here.  Most weed takes at least 50 days to fully mature, and some like this Mr. Nice can take up to 85 days to fully mature.  It&#8217;s a mature, wise decision to wait until you first see milky trichromes, and then begin flushing until you start seeing amber trichromes, then it&#8217;s almost time to harvest.  Letting your marijuana go until full maturity brings other added benefits, like the purple bud trait shown here.   The purple trait is evident in the original Cali Mr. Nice guy, and also in the Sensi Seeds, showing that Sensi seeds likely started with the female clipping of Mr. Nice Guy from a California medial garden.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Blunt wraps and rolling papers are subject to tobacco sales tax when sold in a medical marijuana dispensary / center in Colorado according to the Department of Revenue.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the Colorado Department of Revenue medical marijuana enforcement division <a title="blunts and marijuana" href="http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/Rev-Enforcement/RE/1251575120112" target="_blank">website</a> rolling papers and blunts are to be taxed as tobacco products in the state of Colorado.   Not paying your tobacco sales tax, you could receive a 500% fine.</p>
<p>From the <a title="department of revenue" href="http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/Rev-Enforcement/RE/1251575120112" target="_blank">Department of Revenue of Marijuana </a>of the people&#8217;s republic of monitored marijuana:</p>
<p>TAXATION OF ROLLING PAPERS AND BLUNTS FOR USE BY MEDICAL MARIJUANA PATIENTS<span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></p>
<div><span style="font-size: x-small;">In  the past few months, the department has received inquiries regarding  taxation of rolling papers and blunts for use by medical marijuana  patients. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;">·<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">All rolling papers and blunts are subject to <strong>sales tax</strong>. </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;">·<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Rolling papers consisting of paper or non-tobacco products are NOT subject to excise tax. </span></div>
<div><span style="color: #000000; font-size: small;">·<span style="font-size: xx-small;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: x-small;">Rolling papers which are <strong>tobacco-based</strong> (such as “Brown Sugar”) as well as blunt wraps ARE subject to <strong>excise tax</strong>. </span></div>
<div><span style="font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div><strong><span style="font-size: x-small;">Excise tax</span></strong><span style="font-size: x-small;"> is due when tobacco products are brought into Colorado. Your business  must pay the tobacco excise tax for untaxed product purchased from  companies without a Colorado tobacco license.  Possession of untaxed  tobacco products could result in a penalty of 500% of the tax.  If your  establishment has questions regarding excise taxes and tobacco products,  please call the <strong>Tobacco Excise Tax Section</strong> at (303) 205-8211, ext. 6848 or 6863 for assistance.</span></div>
