Master Yoda Marijuana Strain: "The Force Is Strong With This One" | Marijuana.com

As new names for medical marijuana strains seem to surface-based on the news cycle, and the crazy things that happen there. Think Charlie Sheen OG, Linsanity OG, Blue Ivy OG… I think you get my point. So it is indeed a joyful moment to look down at today’s medical marijuana strain of the day and know that ‘the force is strong’ with this new strain of Master Yoda.

No one in their right mind would ever doubt that the force of good genetics is strong with Master Yoda. Just ask the judges which gave Master Yoda a first in the hybrid category at the recent, 1st annual high times medical cannabis cup held in downtown Los Angeles. The proud cultivator of this distinct flower is a grower for a local Los Angeles collective, known as the “Kush Connection.”

The highly sought after genetics contained within Master Yoda is the direct result of an ingenious cross between OG Kush F-1 and it’s not so distant cousin, Master Kush P-1. One of the more interesting benefits of winning the top prize for your genetics, at any of the high times cannabis cup events. Is the increased public presence of your product… and Master Yoda certainly received its fair share.

Thanks to the little green guys victory at the LA event, Master Yoda has cultivated a strong following throughout United States, from the West Coast to the East Coast. Once placed on the pedestal… of ‘First-place winner,’ at high times cannabis cup; cultivators, seed breeders and collectives alike have all had a hard time keeping Master Yoda in stock. That could be for a very good reason. Any strain, whether Kush dominant or not, that’s capable of capturing and holding the attention of the well-educated, Southern California medical marijuana patients, has a lot going for it.

With Master Yoda’s testing coming in at a respectable 20.67% THC, one does not have to be well-versed in the Star Wars trilogy to understand that …”the force is strong with this one.” So for those mmj patients with an elevated sense of tolerance, that would like to medicate with… and become, a “red eye Jedi,”  traveling to a collective that is not “ in a galaxy far, far away” would be the right place to start your training.

Master Yoda’s high provides both the pain relief properties of an Indica, in conjunction with the elevating effects of a sativa. In the world of marijuana genetics and hybrids “Master Yoda” does not disappoint, performing like the master hybrid it is. With a shortened budding period of just under 60 days,  Master Yoda should prove to be an incredibly popular option for the home cultivator concerned about harvesting the best buds, on a shortened schedule.

Raising Arizona…Medical Marijuana "Rent–A-Grow-Tent” Cultivation Facility | Marijuana.com

 Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally upon our planet. Doesn’t the idea of making nature against the law seem to you a bit . . . unnatural?

– Bill Hicks, Comedian

From the outside of this unassuming Arizona warehouse district building, one could easily be deceived by its inconspicuous businesslike façade. However if you are an Arizona medical marijuana patient, who is looking to learn how to grow some of the more potent strains of MMJ, than compassion first is your new favorite spot.

As Gerald Gaines stood before his press conference, he explained to the surrounding business owners, potential clients and the local press. Exactly what his business model entailed, and who could participate in it. In addition, Mr. Gaines provided a guided tour for all who potentially cared to learn what was going on behind his closed doors, and that they had nothing to fear from his facility: designed solely as a communal marijuana garden.

Mr. Gaines is incredibly proud of his brand-new facility, which is the first of its kind in the nation to operate within these parameters. Within the 5000 ft. facility, the indoor cultivation area has been subdivided into six different cultivation areas. Within the entire facility, there are 45 grow tents which have been built, equipped and are ready to be rented out. In order to participate though, you will need your Arizona medical marijuana recommendation and state caregivers’ license.

Marijuana Collectives Can Deduct POT as "COGS" | Marijuana.com

Marijuana Collectives Can Deduct POT as "COGS" | Marijuana.com
Just as a means of keeping everyone involved in this case on their toes… And scratching their head. Judge Krupa after stating all the reasons that the vapor room could not deduct the cost of goods sold went on to explain how the vapor room should still be allowed to subtract his “costs of goods sold.” Of course his normal “COGS” was primarily the bulk of his marijuana purchases for the resale in his collective. As with any normal business your “cost of goods sold” is generally allowed to be subtracted from your gross receipts, in order to determine the taxpayers IRS responsibility. As the vapor room room reported its costs of goods sold totaled a little under $1 million for the tax year of 2004… And approximately 2.7 million for the 2005 tax year. When looking at his total income that $3.8 million encompassed approximately 90% of his businesses gross revenue. Declaring that the vapor rooms tax records had been unverified and as such were not to be trusted, Judge Krupa decided that the vapor rooms  ”COGS” was more likely in the neighborhood of 75% of their total operating expense for both years.

Colorado HB 1358 to fund police computer access to patient database | Marijuana.com

HB 1358, a bill that would shift $9.7 million in medical marijuana registry fund money to the struggling Medical Marijuana Enforcement Division, passed the House Appropriations committee today, paving the way for a floor vote. The Representative Beth McCann-sponsored measure upsets activists, who say the money should be used to benefit patients or be refunded. But most haven't noticed language tucked into the proposal that earmarks $93,000 for a computer system that will allow law enforcement to access the MMJ patient registry.
