April 2013 Part Two
KAULANA NA PUA HAWAII CALIFORNIA COLORADO WASHINGTON 9 Exclusive Interview with Rev. Roger Christie After several attempts to reach Roger Christie in Federal Prison, we were finally able to make contact. The following is an exclusive interview, part one. According to Christie, National Geographic and Newsweek were denied access to interview him. Q: The readers ask about you regularly, most believe you are a “Political Prisoner”, in the War on Marijuana. They ask, how is Roger doing, and what is the latest on his case. A: “Aloha to thee from prison cell 104 on the 5th floor of the Federal Detention Center at the Honolulu airport.” “After 32 months as a “pretrial detainee” held without bail/bond or visitors as a “danger to my community” I’m doing surprisingly really well, thanks to everyone for asking. “I feel in better shape than ever mentally, emotionally, and spiritually in spite of my challenges, or maybe because of them. I spend a lot of time studying, researching, writing, reading, watching a little tv, and listening to talk radio and Coast to Coast.” Q: Why are you the one behind bars, fighting the good fight, for all of us? A: “I have been working toward this goal for most of my adult life, so I’m ‘in the zone’ doing the meaningful work that I was born for. I’m grateful every day for all of my many blessings. Imagine when we win this?” Q: What is the legal status of your case? A: “The government tries to tie our hands behind our backs and force a plead guilty deal, and to get unfair advantage in all court proceedings, but Share and I are getting much stronger as time goes on.” “We know that we’ve been sincere about practicing our religion, so we feel completely innocent of all the charges against us. It’s exciting to be able to put our legitimacy and our evi10 dence on the federal court record. Stay tuned for positive developments.” “Follow our case online at www dot The-LastMarijuana-Trial dot com. We have three motions pending that will be decided any day or week now. One is to dismiss all of the 17,000 wiretap phone calls, and two motions are to dismiss all of the charges against us. Please visualize us winning before a trial is even necessary. And so it is.” “My needs: I need $400.00 each month in donations to keep going strong. Email alone costs me about $200.00 monthly at $3.00 per hour. Donations can be sent by phone through Western Union with my name and number, Roger Christie 99279-022. Call 1-800-325-6000. Mahalo. I could use an online email helper about 1/2 hour a day to send me news articles and do a little research. Email Share at [email protected] if your interested.” Stay tuned, next month we will update you with the outcome of the upcoming court cases, mentioned above. Also, watch for monthly contributions from Christie along with the second part of the Exclusive Interview.

It always has been just a little bit more refined than when I first came across BHO in the early 1970’s. Seven gram vials were going for $75, it was amber clear and head ass strong, and we were just putting it on top of our herb through the ol’ bamboo bong. Fast forward to 2013 baby!!! Dabs are here to stay. The process of which many people are inclined A Veterans Point of View After recently moving to this truly breathtaking paradise you all call home, I have encountered a multitude of fellow military war veterans. I have served two tours in Afghanistan---the latter deployment originating in Kuwait---all within four years! Having witnessed the absolute atrocities of the devastation that war can cause among peoples of the world (and the world 12 to use is still the back yard method of using a PVC tube and regular butane (none refined), I used to also, until the great experience of being mentored in why not to use those methods, now days it is Glass or Stainless Steel Extracting Tubes, Pyrex dishes and Vacuum Purging, 5x-7x or pure NTane Butane. NON REFINED is a waste of money and has actually only 30% butane inside a can. The rest is cut. Butane does not evaporate through warm bath purging alone. Vacuuming is a key step in insuring as much butane is sucked out and not still residing in your Honey. This along with heat at various temperatures captures the Flavinoids (Terpenes & Pinatenes) of the flowers. Hair dryers and the like just dry out the matter and leave the residue still encased in the extracted oils. Remember you’re putting this into your body, so be as clean as you can, in your process. What to use: flowers, bud shake, or fan leaf. Scratch the latter, and focus on high quality bud shake or pure bud. The return you get does depend on the matter you use. 4-5 grams per oz of bud is pretty damn good. 2.5 - 3.5 grams per oz for bud shake. Most shoot with two cans per ounce of material; one can is usually enough or 300ml of butane. In any event run it till the butane is clear, it initially is an amber color then goes clear. OIL RIGS or SMOKING DEVICES: since the change over last year in adapting ones old bong to smoke it out of, using nails & domes many “Direct Inject” Oil rigs are being made by the glass industry. Prices range from $65.00 - $20,000.00 for a Custom HITMAN piece. Stay ‘Dabbed In’ for phase 2 on Juicing & Vacuum Purging Methods. Until then ‘Hempee Dabbing’! itself), I can only imagine the horrors that my brothers and sisters of service have seen; now, and in years past. The point of all this rambling is that a number of these war veterans return home with symptoms and syndromes that can seem incurable or even leave the person feeling a sense of hopelessness. Prescription medications are given to a patient as a sign of help, when really only masking post-traumatic stress related issues NOT eliminating them. We have come to a point in history when the truth about our human nature and potential is challenged daily by the propaganda that is fed to us in the media. This is no different when it comes to marijuana and its endless uses for medicinal purposes. One might find it strange that our educated physicians are dishing out drugs fueled by the very opiates being planted in a country our troops just happen to be in. We have allowed ourselves to become complacent to the point that people actually FEAR cannabis. An infinite number of people, our own loved ones included, will continue to suffer from potentially fatal side-effects of opiate-filled medications if cannabis is not allowed for medicinal use. The oppression of the human mind is the only thing to be afraid of. My only hope is to live to see the day when all people of the world can unite in love. On this day, the legalization of marijuana will forever be set in stone---no pun intended.

By: Mark Ricks 3-2013 KAULANA NA PUAHAWAII CALIFORNIACOLORADOWASHINGTON FOLLOWING THE GREEN BRICK ROAD grabbed onto it for dear life. The solid momentum of the freight train picked my body up completely sideways as I flew vertically like a rag doll for what seemed like an eternity. After my body had caught up with the momentum of the box car seconds later, I painfully smashed back onto the bottom of the metal steps that I was still somehow managing to hang onto. I rode the freight train west through the Moffat Pass, which contains the longest train tunnel in the United States and travels directly through the Continental Divide. The true story of one hippie’s path to paradise. Many of the small Rocky Mountain towns that are located on the western half of Colorado have always had a certain kind of people that are known for their love of quality cannabis. The Rocky Mountains are also known for having a long history of hippies and flower children from the 60s and 70s who have lived deep in the discrete canyons of Colorado, in mountain-top cabins, specifically to grow some of the most absolute top-quality cannabis in the safety of such a remote location. This unique influence of low oxygen mixed with a high altitude atmosphere is just one of many contributing factors to why Colorado produces some of the best cannabis that one can find in the Midwest. Colorado’s super quality strains of cannabis are mostly produced indoors or in greenhouses due to the short summers and long hard winters that make it extremely difficult to grow outdoors. Though I have personally witnessed some secret Colorado outdoor strains that were grown near the town of Ward and did finish before first frost, and the plants produced very dense, sticky, purple buds that were absolutely outstanding. When I turned 18 I had decided that I was going to travel to all of the major pot growing destinations in the US. I packed up my duffel bag and walked to the nearest mountain town by my house, which was Rollinsville. I camped out by the railroad tracks for 2 days waiting for a slow enough train to safely jump onto. When the slowest train came it was still going too fast for me to get on, but I wasn’t going to wait any longer. I threw my duffel bag that held all of my supplies up onto an open box car that was passing by. I knew that there was no turning back unless I wanted to lose everything in my duffel bag, which was everything I owned at that point. When I saw the last box car coming with the side ladder hanging off the back of it, I knew what I had to do. As my adrenaline dumped into my bloodstream it induced a rush, and I bolted directly toward the last box car ladder about to pass by, leaped crazily into the air and After getting off of the freight train somewhere near Roseburg Oregon, I then decided to hitch-hike the rest of the way down to Northern California. Two days of hitchhiking, I finally ended up in Humboldt County, in a small little town by the name of Garberville. An older Native American gentleman who introduced himself as Silver Bear from Kodiak Alaska asked me if I needed a place to camp. Exhausted from the long journey, I thankfully agreed so I could finally rest. Silver Bear then told me to follow him as we hiked several miles deep into the Redwood forests. When we finally came to a large clearing in the trees I could see a huge campsite nestled into the surrounding mountainsides. When I took a good look around to figure out where to set up my tent I finally realized that this was the exact situation that I had come all this way for. Countless cannabis plants were literally growing out of everywhere the eye could see. There were 6 people at the camp. Everyone was trimming, cleaning, and manicuring large mounds of cannabis that was laid out across several tarps. I had never seen this much cannabis in my life and I knew that I had found what I thought then was heaven on earth. The deal was that I could stay at the camp as long as I was willing to work doing whatever chores that needed to be done to keep the camp running. Silver Bear explained to me that it is extremely hard work, but if I chose to stay and work for the camp, he would teach me all of his personal redwood cannabis growing techniques. I only lasted a few months roughing it in the cold wet Redwood climate. But in that short amount of time I had learned a lot about outdoor growing on the West Coast. After living in Humboldt I knew that I wanted to take my whole experience a step further except in a warmer KAULANA NA PUA HAWAII CALIFORNIA kinder type of climate, but with just as good if not better quality bud. I just didn’t know how I would get there or where it would be. When my mother asked my wife and I to take care for her while she was extremely ill, with the stipulation that we must move to Hawaii with her, I knew the heavens had opened up and sent me a life-changing blessing. When I got to the Big Island I learned how the local Hawaiian people have very different growing techniques than any I had experienced before. Hawaii as we all know, is an active volcano that is considered by geologists to have some of the most nutrient-enriched natural soil in the world. You cannot buy soil of this quality from any kind of gardening store or nursery. You have to live in Hawaii to have access to this kind of rare environment. The extremely unique growing climate of Hawaii along with its natural tradewinds, latitude & longitude, and nutrient-enriched volcanic soils are only a few of the contributing factors as to why Hawaii can produce such outstanding and unsurpassed quality buds. Cannabis that is grown in Hawaii is both recognized and considered by many professional growers and seed banks in Amsterdam and around the world as some of the finest quality cannabis found anywhere. If there is one thing that I have learned from growing cannabis in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Humboldt County of California, and the Hawaiian Islands, it is that everyone has their own form of turning their personal environments into top quality medicinal grows. And to each and every different strain that I have been lucky enough to try, all of them have their own individual traits and flavors that come directly from each of their own unique locations. And for this I would like to thank all of the cannabis growers and kind people that have shared their unique secrets and growing techniques with me throughout my many travels, in turn making it possible for me to share this wonderful story with you today.
