Cannabis

Sun just about to rise behind Mesa Verde. The ground is covered in snow, the sky is bright orange/yellow at the horizon changing to purples and blues with varying shades of orange. The San Juan Mountains to the left are getting pummeled by a snow storm.

Sun just about to rise behind Mesa Verde.

Cannabis content coming, grow rooms are torn down/clean and ready for upcoming pheno hunt.

Just before sunrise looking towards Mesa Verde. Sky is yellow orange at the Mesa but changes to red, purple, pinks and blues. Typical good looking high desert sunrise.

2 degrees, feels like -6 Perfect temps for ice water extract, less ice used, better product, far less greasy end product

Just before sunrise this morning.

Up early setting up the ice water extract station, absolute perfect temps for top quality bubble hash.

Cold as shit though...

Midnight the foster dog, a large black pit/lab mix pretends to go to the bathroom...full squat. She is an actress, she is not doing her business but searching for deer. She stayed in this position until I suggested we continue on our walk.

More snow...because this is totally normal for the high desert.

Midnight the foster dog loves it, she has learned that if she squats like she is about to do her business she can stay out indefinitely.

She is not doing her business, she is looking for deer.

Fat dab to start the day. Cold start rig with a 1/2 gram of Cherry Cheesecake rosin about to be dropped in.

It's going to be one of those days...

Grow room(s) to be torn down and reset. Cleaning, lots and lots of cleaning.

Yes, I know my banger is knackered

Looking west towards Sleeping Ute Mountain. Clouds hover around the top peaks with a bright blue sky filling the rest of the view. In the foreground sagebrush is covered in fresh snow.

Drove down to the chicken coop to dig out their run and drop some hay for the deer.

Too much snow...

Covered in snow, looking towards the western portion of Mesa Verde. Junipers are struggling with the weight of the real wet snow.

Got a bit of snow...

Looking towards the east (Mesa Verde) the visibility so poor due to snow that you can barely see the other side of the canyon. Mesa Verde nowhere in sight.

Went for a hike, got a couple hundred yards from the house and decided it will be an indoors coffee & cannabis day.

Looking west at Sleeping Ute Mountain just after sunrise. The only clouds in the sky are covering his peak/belly.

A photo of Sleeping Ute Mountain this morning.

According to legend, when the peaks are covered in clouds or fog the Warrior God is pleased with his people.

Double Sour Tangie rosin. Real terpy/gooey but still crystalized and set up well after cure.

Double Sour Tangie rosin on the menu for lunch today.

Looking towards Mesa Verde is just snow this morning. Junipers are starting to feel the weight of the snow as it is a wet storm.

View of the Mesa this morning...

Nothing let's you know you are alive like shoveling snow at 6 a.m. stoned to the bone.

Twilight looking towards Mesa Verde and the San Juan Mountains.

Took a 10 day digital break, unfortunately the world is still a raging dumpster fire.

Wake and Bake photo of the Mesa this morning

Strawnana Sorbet cured live rosin Honey or light colored rosin with crystals/diamonds from the 2 stage cure.

Strawnana Sorbet cured live rosin.

Good friend is in town for the holidays and to spend a few days learning more about curing rosin.

This had a 3 day cure on a magnetic heated plate at 95 degrees followed by 90 days at 40 degrees, from my private stash.

Ollie the rescue in a cat bed

Stop by 12/31 for THC infused Chip Butties and a cannabis bon fire...yes whatever is not taken will be burned.
Non locals...here are some of the rescue cats in their holiday beds, sorry for the crappy photos.

Above average yield, releasing two patients and doing year end accounting has resulted in compliance issues.
Med patients stop by and pick up whatever your heart desires.
Non med patients swing by with friends and you can each leave with an ounce of flower or 8 grams concentrate (max allowed gift).

*Making...not to.
Way too early

Just before sunrise looking towards a dark Mesa Verde. It is dark but the sky is just getting light, a few clouds are salmon color and the sky is just starting to blue.

Time to make the donuts...I mean Ice Water Extract. Dunkin donuts guy from the 80's

Up before dawn to making ice water extract.

Much better quality and far more cost efficient to run it in the dead of winter.

Just after sunset looking towards Sleeping Ute Mtn.

Just after sunset looking towards the San Juan Mtns.

End of day photos.

View of the western portion of Mesa Verde just before sunrise. Landscape is still dark but the sky is just getting blue with wisps of clouds that are just starting to get color from the sunrise.

Woke to an 80 pound dog puking on my pillow at 4:30 this morning, how is your day going?

On a positive note I got in a 5+ mile hike before the sun was up. 14 days remain to hike an additional 53 miles to hit my 1000 mile goal for the year...just kill me now.

Large boulders going in every direction down in the draw. Photo is looking back towards the top of the draw.

Moss that is starting to thaw, ice crystals cover half the moss

North side of a ridge that doesn't get much winter sun, still snow covered. A cactus is partially frost covered

Midway down the canyon looking north towards Mt. Wilson/Telluride. Snow covered peaks visible in the distance.

A friend dropped his son (11) off for the afternoon so he could do Christmas shopping alone. Told him I could kick his butt in a video game or we go for a hike.

Hiked the property until it started to thaw, 6.2 miles and just shy of 1200' of elevation change.

All the photo's taken by him

Shades of cotton candy colors fill the sky behind Sleeping Ute Mountain just before sunrise.

A cotton candy sky this morning looking towards Sleeping Ute Mountain.

A cactus living in the crack of a large boulder on the side of the canyon. The boulder is covered in lichen of various colors.

A cactus living on the side of the canyon. Enough dirt has blown on to a large rock to give the cactus a place to root.

A lichen covered piece of stone (sandstone?). The piece is a uniform thickness and almost perfectly flat.

Hiked down the canyon this afternoon to visit some of my cactus friends...don't judge me.

A large chunk of the cliff face broke free overnight creating a bunch of sheets of this stone some 4' x 4' in size.
Need to figure out how to haul it out, would make a great patio or walkway.

Telehealth appt. with new Dr.-
It appears an extra digit was added to your claimed daily THC consumption.

Me- No, it is correct
Dr.- Um, the average joint contains...
Me- *audibly sighs
Dr.- Unfortunately I don't feel comfortable treating you.
Me- I wouldn't feel comfortable with you treating me

A large fire pit made of rocks with an active fire.

Long weird day.

Going to smoke a joint and hang out by the fire.

Here or email/phone, the website is for patients only.

If they aren't of personal nature ask away here, may benefit others.
I will have 2 free slots next year, one starting 1/1 and one on 3/1.I do have a wait list but I choose by who I can help most not who has been waiting longest.

Exactly this.
It was in a group text and I have no clue what religion(s) if any the rest of the group practice. Not my business.
It is an ongoing thing with her, last Easter I put everyone's edibles in recycled plastic Easter eggs. Got 2 days of texts telling me I would burn for mocking Jesus.

New social account...who dis?
Gonna guess Ben/Jenny.

The rest wasn't fit for human consumption, just pure hate.

I was already letting her go prior to today, just didn't want to send the email before the holidays and ruin her CHRISTMAS.

With the snow overnight the road to my place is 4wd only, as a result no medicine pickups/holiday gift pick up today. I will be making deliveries today, Sat/Sun so let me know what day/time is best for you. Reminder ... I cannot leave your medicine with a 3rd party ... applies to holiday gifts as well since it is cannabis related. 8:48 AM You mean Christmas gifts I assume? 8:49 AM Nope, Holiday gifts and I am not doing this with you this year. 8:50 AM Attacking my faith is uncalled for · 8:52 AM There are folks who don't support organized religion, those who are religious but not christian. Everyone is welcome in my house of cannabis. Holiday gifts. 8:55 AM And those people will burn in hell. . 9:00 AM Hey, just sent you an email. Was going to send it after the HOLIDAYS but figured no better time than the present. I am terminating our contract as of 1/1/24. I won't leave you high and dry but I cannot continue this abusive Christofascism relationship. I will deliver your last meds at a time good for you and then we are parting ways. I wish you the best. 9:07 AM That is discrimination, you can't do that. What am I supposed to do now? 9:09 AM I can do it, I did do it. You can start by keeping your religious views to yourself and quit shoving your bullshit morals down others throats. Let me know what is a good day/time to drop off your meds. 9:13 AM

I can do it, I did do it. You can start by keeping your religious views to yourself and quit shoving your bullshit morals down others throats. Let me know what is a good day/time to drop off your meds. 9:13 AM I would not be a good christian if I stayed silent. You trying to muzzle my religious views IS discrimination. 9:18 AM I am not going to put your personal business on blast but I know for a fact you have broken several of the 10 commandments. Look within before you judge others is all I am saying. You have every right to spout religious nonsense and I have every right to not have to deal with it, it is a pretty great system we have here in this country. 9:23 AM You are going to hell. 9:24 AM At least it will be warm, will save you a seat 9:24 AM Again, let me know when is a good time to drop off your Devil's Lettuce. Free anytime today or this weekend! 9:27 AM

Happy Holidays...

As the man's screaming could be heard outside, Bush said "That's what people do in a free society, draw attention to themselves."[2] A "large blood trail" could be seen on the carpet where al-Zaidi had been dragged by security agents.

Feel bad for him, 3 year sentence, 2 served, beaten and tortured for doing what 95% of the worlds population wanted to do.

And then there is the cocaine enjoyer

An American president who the Supreme Court appointed showing his cocaine fueled reflexes to dodge a shoe being thrown at him by an Iraqi journalist.

Can you believe it's been 15 years...anyway happy this day to those who celebrate.
