Seattle Cannabis Journal has welcomed local photographer Knottyy to its pages. The great afternoon of good smoke & friendly conversation that was the Farmer’s Market write-up demanded a second collaboration. It was decided an afternoon documenting multiple grows from a single gardener would be just the thing.
Here we have Demosthene’s representations of Diesel, Kush, and Rainbow.
We hope you enjoy this project, as it was truly a pleasure to create.
DIESEL
We pegged Diesel as the first course. The foundation laid down by this smoke was a great jumping off point for both Kush and Rainbow. Given our day’s task we tread lightly when using the water pipe. These hits still provided a trace of the glowing excitement and focus that began guiding our conversation.
It was not hard to discern an astringent leaning cedar kept earthy by deep spice. A nostalgic scent, but not necessarily the robust fuel we expected from the Diesel family-this was a more nuanced approach. The second exhale had a lip-smacking finish with great sustain on the palette, leaving ample time to pick it apart. A second toke locked in cedar, but pulled detail out of the spice. I detected cocoa.
Ten minutes after a few tokes in place, we were hard at work. Knottyy manned the photo area while I frantically scribbled notes on smell and dictated his occasional observations. The conversation pin-balled from our feelings on taste, sensory experience, and future collaboration. Throughout the buzz this multiple trajectory conversation was easy to keep up and productive. Knotty found that a few well-timed bowls could extend the peak, which eventually tapers into a soft glow with no hang-over.

Quick Guide to Glass Under 250$ by Space Cake
March 27, 2011 § Leave a Comment
I love cruising Aqua Lab Technologies for things I don’t need and can’t afford. At one point I’m almost sure it would’ve been considered a problem
To cure this blight I scrimped and saved and took extra shifts until I could afford an arguably modest water pipe of my own. In fact, it can be seen in a certain photo essay from awhile back.
A website whose addiction I have not been able to cure is Reddit. Reddit is an ultra-positive online community that acts as a filter for the internet. The flotsam and jetsam of cyberspace stays put, and the goods are laid out for all to see. Ultra massive media conglomerate Condé Nast owns the whole shebang. Still it remains relatively ad free and has billions of users.
Off topic. I happened upon a Reddit thread that called for my embarrassingly extensive knowledge of Aqua Lab’s Glass. Specifically, pieces under 250$. So here, dear readers, is what I wrote…
You’d be surprised at the pleasant smoking experience you can end up with in the 150$-250$ range. I found these on Aqualabtechnologies.com*:
All of the glass on I’ve found on ALT is handmade in the States. This 5mm Syn is 110$, Simple but functional. it has a diffused down stem, a great personal bowl, and ice pinches. Easy to clean with a brush, easy to transport.
This model also come in a 17.5″ version. Available for 175$.
The incredible dorky VripTech is an excellent option at both 129.99 and 199.99 price points depending on upgrades. A great option for health, aesthetics, and technology.
Seattle Cannabis Journal Gets a Little Help…
March 18, 2011 § Leave a Comment
The blogosphere can be a cruel, thankless world-especially for the wordy Cannabis writer. A fact that made us especially grateful to get not one but two cyberspace nods of approval this last week. First our coverage of the Seattle Cannabis Farmer’s Market was syndicated to Village Voice’s weed bloggernaut Toke of the Town, a pleasure we have Steve Elliot to thank for.
If you haven’t had a chance, read it in full here. The stunning photos are courtesy of Seattle Cannabis Journal’s newest member, Knotty. You may have seen his work in West Coast Cannabis Magazine.
The second was from Seattle’s hip neighborhood blog, Cap To the Hill, where our name was included among birds-eye view ramblings about the goings-on of the coolest hill. In unrelated news horrifying monster Glenn Beck stole these photos from the blog for his television program, which is hilarious and sad.
Many thanks to all!

The 12 Day Difference
March 14, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Chemdog #4. A potent smoke sought out by users for its dominating buzz that can range from supremely relaxing, to devastatingly cerebral. Hailed medicinally for its long-lasting pain management and insomnia aid. For some it can also offer relief from anxiety. A representative of Conscious Care Cooperative was kind enough to offer the Journal a sample of multiple grows, one pulled at eight weeks, the second at nine and a half, a premium grow according to CCC.
When comparing them physically, the eight week Chemdog (we will say 8wkCD) had a looser formation with broad leaves that parted from the body, hiding the inner bud. Observing trichome production with the naked eye on 8wkCD you can see a dusting of gauzy white resin, neatly arranged but sparse. At 60x-100x magnification slim bulbs sitting atop stumpy stalks of resin that had just begun to cloud became clear.
Chemdog #4 at 9 1/2 weeks
