Happy April!! Springtime!! Sunshine, warm weather, and 4/20!!
That’s right everyone’s favorite holiday is just around the corner. You can come see
me a the Punchline in San Francisco, or Cypress Hill in San Francisco, or any of hun-

18 dreds of events all over the Western US. Check the calendar on our website for more
stuff.
In other events, I am saddened and frustrated by the sentence handed down to Virgil

36
Grant. There is no reason for him to go to jail, let alone receive 6 years in prison. Virgil
Grant is a good family man who did everything by the book. Please continue to work
for marijuana re-legalization, so that good hardworking people who use and enjoy
cannabis never have to go to jail again.

I was also bothered that legalization advocates
were practically on mute. There was more noise
for keeping dispensaries open in Los Angeles, than
complete legalization, which essentially would fill
both lungs with one hit. Recent strides were made
to put legalization on the ballot, but the only per-

later when I saw B-Real casually walking towards
the exit. I cut him off and I asked if I could get my
picture taken with him. He agreed because I think
he could tell it meant that much to me to cut him off
just so we could get a photo together. That moment
made my Hemp Con and also made look immedi-
ately forward to the next one.

to cover the number of plants he was growing. He was not over the
limit. But he did have a huge number of plants.

THIS MONTH’S BUD: ROMULAN photo:subcool

Before OG Kush showed up, Romulan was the undisputed heavyweight champ of Indica meds. A strong, and I mean strong, pure Indica,
Romulan is great for chronic pain. I have always enjoyed Romulan’s peppery flavor and super couchlock, but must admit I smoked a
lot of Romulan in the 90’s and burned out on it after a while. Romulan grows fast and is a moderate yielder, but a little Romulan goes a
loooong way. Give it some room outdoors and keep it topped, and you bushy little plat will give you a nice reward. Romulan, like Blue
Dream, is another one of those strains that seems to be in every collective. If you are an Indica fan, check it out ASAP. But not if you a lot
of things to do that day….. —editor@westcoastcannabis. com
