The Ultraviolet Garden

I feel the need to draw attention again to the following videos. These aren’t meant to be watched just once. It requires a shift in the way we think. Surviving police encounters—and knowing your rights and behaviorally asserting them as safely as possible—seems to be a bit like learning how to drive. You must first practice many times before you are able to drive without actually thinking about driving. Hopefully, by recalling these facts and scenarios, we as citizens will learn how to stay safer to a point where it becomes second nature. That’s why it’s so important to review these videos now and then.

It’s not enough to simply know these things. If we don’t incorporate them into our lives as good and safe habits, then knowing them doesn’t really do a whole lot of good, now does it?

There’s only one thing that the professor says that I disagree with. The rest of it is completely spot on. Those who know me probably wouldn’t find it hard to figure out which part I disagree with. (If you must know, it’s the part where he says that cops aren’t likely to lie on you! But that’s not pertinent. I am just being picky. I do think he’s dead wrong on that, though.)

Law professor and a police officer reveal why you should never talk to police.

There’s many recipes out there for cannabutter. (I appreciate them all.) But I don’t know if anyone’s ever made vapobutter.

Not that I knew what I was doing, but I decided to try making pot butter with vaped weed. Vaped weed is weed that hasn’t been burned but rather heated in a vaporizer and then inhaled. Vaporizing your weed is healthier than smoking it, because when you smoke it you’re getting the carcinogens that get made during the combustion process. Eating it is even better for me, which is why I wanted to try vapobutter.

We thought: if this works we can extend the utility of the material.

It worked. Evidently something went very, very, very right. What can I say except don’t make any plans. This is great for sleep problems, pain, anxiety etc., because you get more of the “body high”.

I see Indica in my future.

You need a vaporizer. Volcano is our choice. I understand you can get them with digital readouts. We're not that fancy.

Grind the weed using a Mendo mulcher. The little orange plastic grinder that came with our Volcano wasn't that good. At all.

As you’re vaping your weed and over time, you’ll be collecting the “toasted” remains. Save those in your container of choice (we use a ziplock bag).

The green is obviously the unvaped weed. The brown is what it looks like afterwards.

Here’s what you need:

1 cup of vaped weed
3 quarter-sticks of butter (never use margarine)
Water (Guesstimate! But add more water to cook it longer)

You’re going to add all those ingredients into a pot so that you can simmer it. The idea here is to simmer for hours until most, if not all, of the water has evaporated out. I prefer this because I don’t like having to pour out the inch or so of water from the butter after refrigeration. (But tend it—so you don’t burn the butter.) If I have the time I simmer for as long as I can. Remember: you’re cooking weed that’s already been “used”, so simmer longer than you might ordinarily.

After all or most of the water has been simmered out, set it aside to cool.

Once cooled, use cheesecloth and strain it into a container (I use a tupperware container).

Gather the corners of the cloth together and squeeze as much liquid as you can into the container. This may take several minutes and don’t be afraid to use your (washed!) hands. But again make sure it’s cool enough.

After you’ve rung out all the juice, you can throw the vaped weed and the cheesecloth away.

Place the butter in the fridge to solidify.

Vapobutter!

Use vapobutter for brownies, cookies, cakes or whatever you like.

To extend the utility of your material even further: unscrew the bottom compartment of the Mendo mulcher and harvest Kief. (Hey, I’m just learning all this stuff myself. I thought they were talking about Keifer Sutherland.)

I had my appointment with Diane today. It went great and everything’s in order. (Her office is very comfortable, put me at ease. She even let Noble borrow a book that he commented on. And she REALLY read my files! I was impressed with the stuff she remembered.)

(I scanned the original copy of the license.) It’s not the type of license that you may see others using, which includes the patient’s photo (I’ve seen them and they resemble driver’s licenses or photo IDs). Those are valid too but if you have what I have (below) then it’s not really required.

The following is indeed a “license” to use cannabis.

More from me later. Thanks Mary for posting the vid!

I’ve got no problem believing that they shoved crack up his ass. That is not as hard to believe as the actual shooting. Dave Chappelle was right… they just sprinkle some crack on them.

It’s not been proven though—that they shoved crack up his ass. That’s its beauty! They know that their supporters are so irrational that they’ll grab onto anything to be able to continue saying that Oscar somehow deserved his fate.

Glad to know that ppl’s fates can be determined on the street, by cops. I guess the cop-groupies don’t really like the justice system like they contend. Otherwise they’d demand its use. Yes, even by cops.

Cophood trumps all. Thanks for the reminder.

We need more whistle blowers.
