So I'm down at @hempfest_canada in Edmonton and I'm going to be doing some #livetweeting Image
@hempfest_canada After showing my ticket, the first thing I see before even entering the expo, are snack machines. Somehow nobody is here, but I still think its smart. Image
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw, a criminal lawyer, speaking right now about cannabis law. Image
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw Someone asks about blood testing. Police will not be taking your blood in your car on the side of the road.
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw Chris McGrath, from @AtlasGrowers speaking now. Image
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers I'm expecting big things from @AtlasGrowers in the near future. They are local to the #YEG area. I've been talking to them for a while on the medical side for when they get fully licensed, among other things.
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers Ran into some of my favorite people from the #Cannabis twitter community: @DanielleMc420, @CochraneD_AB, and @qnp and do you think we at least took a selfie?
#hempfest
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers @DanielleMc420 @CochraneD_AB @qnp Cliffhanger, I know. But no we didn't. I wish I had more time to spend here. It's a smaller show, but with limited time, I can't see it all.
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers @DanielleMc420 @CochraneD_AB @qnp For homegrowers, I've heard good things about using something like this, and seen pictures of the difference is makes. Eliminates overwatering, and gets much better yields.

#livetweeting Image
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers @DanielleMc420 @CochraneD_AB @qnp Once you are done growing your own, if you want to do some lab testing, there is @Keystone_Labs. Obviously for LPs too. I'm pretty sure #hempfest is where I met @JodeMcD for the first time. I've never met someone so energetic and enthusiastic about testing cannabis! Image
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers @DanielleMc420 @CochraneD_AB @qnp @Keystone_Labs @JodeMcD @JodeMcD was speaking on stage today as well, and @StefOstrander works with @Keystone_Labs too. I saw she was here, but with limited time (and social anxiety, lets be honest), I didn't get to talk to her but she is another awesome person from the cannabis community!
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers @DanielleMc420 @CochraneD_AB @qnp @Keystone_Labs @JodeMcD @StefOstrander These guys don't have Twitter, but Wolf Grinders are a local accessory company in #yeg that has some really cool products, including little folding pipes, grinders that fit lighters, and a built in pipe, etc. Got myself a little rolling tray. Good guys. Image
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers @DanielleMc420 @CochraneD_AB @qnp @Keystone_Labs @JodeMcD @StefOstrander I didn't even know about Wolf Grinders until today, but it's good to see some young entrepreneurs making moves in #yeg.

@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers @DanielleMc420 @CochraneD_AB @qnp @Keystone_Labs @JodeMcD @StefOstrander OK, I had to run, so I admit this is no longer "live" tweeting. Spoke to more vendors though. One was for grow tents. I'm excited to see what comes of it, and if I can help medical patients grow their own medication at a low cost when they can't afford their script otherwise.
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers @DanielleMc420 @CochraneD_AB @qnp @Keystone_Labs @JodeMcD @StefOstrander With @ShaysRoots, we help patients get their prescription, find the best strain based on terpenes and cannabinoids, and register them with the LP that has it, but if someone wants to grow their own, we want to help in any way we can.
@hempfest_canada @SarahLeamonLaw @AtlasGrowers @DanielleMc420 @CochraneD_AB @qnp @Keystone_Labs @JodeMcD @StefOstrander @ShaysRoots Also spoke with @FreedomCannabi, another local latestage Alberta LP. Excited to see what they do and continue to talk with them. One benefit to getting in now is they get to bring in a lot of good new genetics.
I’m told they will have a LOT of new genetics, and I’m hopeful after talking to them that we will see higher levels of the *other* cannabinoids like CBN and CBG.
And Finally, there was my friend @yogarose2 at @Boaz_Pharm, yet another LP, waiting for their sales license, in Southern Alberta.
#hempfestcanada
@yogarose2 @Boaz_Pharm @boaz has a lot of promise as well. They seem way more "craft" than most LPs, with a real focus on quality. Sounds like they will be getting that final license very soon, but of course it's a bit of a crapshoot. Oh, and they had a GOT-style thrown! Image
That picture is me trying to look tough, which I obviously don’t know how to do. But that’s a wrap for me on #HempFest! If I tagged you, I’m Sorry for likely blowing up your phone with notifications! 😛

Angry RANT:
Since it was confirmed that @ryanjespersen was fired by @630CHED, I've taken a couple days to stew over it. I was angry, and I didn't want to say the wrong thing. I realize though, it's important to stand up and say something regardless.

And I am STILL angry
Thread:
Silence and neutrality only uphold the oppressor. Integrity matters. This is something Jespersen clearly believed in himself: He has the kind of Integrity that I've seen in few people. Which makes his firing all the more bizarre, and inspires me to stand up for what's right.
Is @ryanjespersen perfect?
Nobody is. (including me, and those railroading him). We didn't agree on everything, but I approved of *how* he did it: What I disagreed with, I still understood, and heard differing points of view on the subject to consider. That's a good thing.

I couldn't sit back and do nothing.
One day, our kids, and their kids, will ask what it was like in 2020, and what we did. I don't want my answer to be 'nothing'. So I did something:
@AlbertaMasks was created to affordably get as many of the best masks out in public as possible.
They use nanofibre to filter 99% of particles the size of 0.075 microns! They're light and breathable, washable/reusable, and protect the mask wearer without taking away supply from the healthcare workers who need N95s the most. We are undercutting the competition at $14.99/mask.
Nanotech is quite new in face masks, but the few I've seen with this tech were selling for $35-$80+ per mask. I'm NOT doing this for the money. There is actually a high chance I will lose money since I have to pay upfront for stock, and then I'm selling for so much less.

This is pretty huge: Human rights board orders insurer to pay medical cannabis costs in precedent-setting case. financialpost.com/wcm/b1ec50d8-1… via @nationalpost
Independent human rights board of inquiry chair @bnperryman said that medical marijuana should be an eligible expense since it requires a doctor’s authorization and thus didn’t fall within the plan’s exclusions.
“Since medical marijuana was prescribed for pain management (cont'd)
"...it was accepted that it is a medical necessity and should be covered,” the board said in in a statement.

“This is the first case of its kind in Canada” said Christine Hanson, director and CEO of @NSHumanRights

“we expect that it will examined in future case law.”

Still trying to remember more questions from the Weed the People Q&A: Was asked if we only see patients with cancer. I had wondered if there was too much focus on that in the movie, and it gives that impression. In fact, that's not the case at all. Cannabis works for so much:
A lot of people get medical cannabis for anxiety, pain, epilepsy, arthritis, insomnia, etc. There is also better evidence for treating these things compared to cancer, and the results can be pretty life changing.
I took this opportunity to point out why it can treat so much:
Some people are sceptical about medical cannabis and there is nothing wrong with healthy scepticism.
It often sounds too good to be true. But that's because the CB1and CB2 receptors arent concentrated in one place. They are all across the body in the endocannabinoid system.

*Thread part 3”
After Xmas I drove home to Alberta, and then on to B.C. (You should see the hilarious video of Jr learning to ski)
I stopped in Invermere, BC, at @Invermerecanna1 which was not far off the highway. Talked to the friendly woman working there, who was helpful. (1/4) Image
I wanted to pick up some @TantalusLabs flower, since I’ve seen lower prices for it in BC and I like what they are doing. Unfortunately they only had prerolls. I ended up going with a little @SanRafael71 Pink Kush (on sale) and @COVECrafted “Rise”. (2/4) Image
@SanRafael71 produces a decent Pink Kush, with about 19% THC, and a little over 2 mths from package date to purchase. It’s a shame there’s so much packaging for 1g, and I wonder if it is recyclable. In the box there is a plastic container like a big cheese and cracker handi-snack Image

*Thread part 2*
Aside from the Hash Plant from @emeraldhealthca, I also picked up some Wappa by @redecanca. This is one I had previously done the nose test on, and loved it, so I was looking forward to actually testing it out. (1/5) Image
At 24%, it is high THC. It was also packaged just under a month prior to purchase (Nov 26), which I was quite happy to see.
Minimal packaging, although the tiny plastic case is in a box twice it’s size, which goes straight into the recycling. (2/5)
Speaking of the box, I find it hilarious that @redecanca seems to literally use double sided tape to affix their excise stamp to it 😆. For some strange reason they don’t come with a sticky side, and each LP has to come up with their own method. (3/5) Image
