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.

(Dear Reader, Seattle Cannabis Journal is now in the process of preparing a physical menu for Conscious Care Cooperative. ‘Cannabis Profiles’ of varietals that are both deemed appropriate by the journal and available regularly at the co-op will be edited for the menu. In the meanwhile the full versions will continued to be posted here. Beyond this, the focus of the Journal has also turned to procuring samples straight from local growers, and looks forward to providing ‘Cannabis Profiles’ from that as well.-Ed.)

How We Get High #2 “1 joint, 2 Varietals”
February 18, 2011 § Leave a Comment

Cannabis is best used to each individual’s needs. Unlike the dead-ends of opiate based painkillers and benzodiazepines, marijuana gives the user hope in endless variety and highly controlled dosages. This thought inspired the beginning of a regular photo based essay on individual methods of ingestion, and reasons for medicating.
I hope that this series will encourage cannabis users to customize their intake, enjoy the process, and promote autonomy among patients.
For the non-user I hope this represents the oft-ignored care and dignity present in the Medical Marijuana community.
Happy Viewing.
