The ‘420 Guys’ who created the term ‘420’ for Marijuana

Steve Capper and David Reddix are (San Rafael High School, Class of 1971) – are two of the five ‘420 Guys’ who created the universally-accepted phrase ‘420’ when referring to cannabis.  At this point, almost everyone is familiar with the “well-coined term,” but not everyone knows its origin.  Here’s a clue – it has nothing to do with the date of April 20, yet it is time-related.  Hear first-hand how five bright students unwittingly added to the lexicon of American culture and the global zeitgeist – just by setting up their cannabis-related smoking meeting time.  Both Steve and David join our 420-lifestyle correspondent to tell this story and many more in a fun and interesting interview.

NORML Deputy Director, Ellen Komp

Ellen Komp is Deputy Director, California NORML (state chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). Ellen Komp is a longtime marijuana reform activist and author. She began in Los Angeles where she helped plan hemp rallies and volunteered for LA NORML and various initiative campaigns, including Prop. 215, which legalized medical marijuana in California in 1996. Ellen was an editor on Jack Herer’s book “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” and has published her own book, “Tokin’ Women: A 4000-Year Herstory.” She is currently deputy director of California NORML and she blogs at TokinWoman.blogspot.com.

Since its inception in 1970, NORML has been at the forefront in the world of cannabis and the call for legislative repeal.   Ellen walks us through the history of this once fringe, and now iconic organization.  When you listen to the changes and growth of NORML, you hear a piece of American history and how the cannabis industry grew from the underground to become a multi-billion dollar enterprise that funds government coffers in dozens of states.  Now that cannabis is respected and the focus of great medical research, legalization continues to grow.   As old restrictions are lifted, one might wonder if NORML will outlive its pioneering usefulness.  Quite the contrary, NORML continues the fight to move public toward legalizing legalizing the responsible use of marijuana by adults.  NORML still leads the way as it works for consumer access to high quality marijuana that is safe, convenient and affordable.  There is a long road ahead, but NORML not only knows how to travel the road, they helped pave it.

National Changes for Cannabis, with Former Mayor Willie Brown

Willie Brown is the former Mayor of San Francisco and one of the leading Democratic figures for more than a generation.  He is also the former president of Harborside, the first and largest marijuana dispensary in California.  Now, fifteen states have legal adult use of marijuana and thirty-two states have the use of medical marijuana.  Still, it is prohibited on the federal level as a Schedule One drug.  Mr. Brown offers a perspective on what the incoming administration will do to address this conflict between national vs. state legislation on marijuana.  The lead on change may come from the House of Representatives but there are obstacles in the Senate.  The MORE Act and the Safe Banking Act are key pieces of legislature that will help the industry manage commerce and it will allow consumer spending with credit cards.  This could bring help to veterans who need cannabis treatment.  Catch the signposts to the future from a voice of experience.  Change is certain.

Science Meets Nature in Growing

A look back to the Emerald Cup event in Santa Rosa, California. W420 Lifestyles correspondent, Rich Walcoff, was on the field at the event, where he met with Sundarajan Mutialu, who is a plasma physicist.

This allows for plants to yield more than twice the number of quality cuttings on average. Proper engineering help bring out full, true genetic expression, especially when combined with living soil. This is where science uses the methods of Mother Nature in large growing facilities. Hear how!

New Report on the forthcoming effects of Legalization

John Kagia works at New Frontier Data as the Chief Knowledge Officer.  They have a new report on cannabis and the pharmaceutical industry, and the destruction cannabis is bound to cause.  (You can view a copy of that report at: https://newfrontierdata.com/analyst-reports/ ).  The report covers the expansion of the legalization on a state basis for both medical and recreational marijuana, what that means to consumers.  The report also analyzes the effects of possibly forthcoming federal decriminalization.   Cannabis products could ‘cannibalize’ convention products currently in use by competing with them, or replacing some altogether.   Decriminalization would likely allow commerce between states and even shipments outside of our borders.  This will inevitably bring reductions in the prices of cannabis.  Amid all of this, pharmaceutical companies themselves would be prone to venture into growing and marketing marijuana themselves.  Hear all the details in this insightful interview that might foretell our near future.

What Legalization Means to States

John Kagia works at New Frontier Data as the Chief Knowledge Officer.   For this interview he calls in from Africa to talk about recent ballot issues on cannabis.  We had an historic election and consequential election for cannabis.  Legalizing states had medical initiatives and approval for recreational use on the ballots that passed by comfortable vote counts.  New Jersey announced that it may approve adult use in as little as 30 days after passage and its market will become dramatically larger.   Since the COVID pandemic has crunched economies across the nation, additional revenues that legalization will bring will be a welcome relief to some states.  As more states approve the use of marijuana, more states are likely to follow.
