Letter from the Editor
9 21 What are we gonna do? Jack Herer has passed on. He was a visionary, a warrior, a
prophet, a legend, and a helluva man. We will miss him, but we must not let his passing
stop us from finishing what he set out to do. We must gain inspiration and celebrate
his life by continuing, and winning his struggle to Re-legalize the Cannabis plant.
It will be weird without Jack. Without his fiery speeches, and never ending passion
for the cause, and his smiling face, it’s going to be a little strange for a while, but we will
30
prevail. We will succeed. And we will never forget Jack Herer.
Moving on to more earthly matters, I would like to Thanks everyone involved in
The SF International Cannabis and Hemp Exhibition at the Cow Palace last month. It
was a blast. Bob, Lynda, Kim, Stefani, Gaynell(I hope I spelled that right), you did a great
job. Everyone had a blast, and even the non-cannabis users at the event were blown
33 away. I would also like to Thank everyone at Zephyr Ion Vaporizers for hooking us up.
This month, we have the usual stuff. A feature on Jack Herer, coverage of the INT
CHE, a column for Resipsa about the problems in LA, and more.
On the business side of things, WE NEED YOUR HELP. As you know, we distribute

The Cow Palace Becomes a Hemporium for 15,000 Hempthusiasts
by Eric K. Arnold
F
or many teenagers who came of age during the
70s, 80s, and 90s, the Cow Palace was the ultimate
“heavy metal parking lot,” to paraphrase the documenta-
ry film about the hard-partyin’ crowds outside the venue
at a Judas Priest concert. You can bet that gravelly patch
of asphalt, located just south of San Francisco in Daly
City, has seen plenty of doobieage in its day.

A festive, concert-like atmosphere once again pervaded on this past 420
weekend, but the star of the show wasn’t a live music act, but a wondrous
plant: cannabis, aka marijuana, kush, purps, skunk, blueberry, goo, dank,
trainwreck, etc. At the 2010 Hemp Expo, herb was the star of the show.
A mellow yet hardcore hemp enthusiast crowd mingled with the curious,
the infirm, and the first-time patients. Education and a community of like-
minded individuals were equally on display as various wares, from impos-
sibly-tall, high-tech bongs to 20 foot-long growmobiles to seed banks—
and their proud products—and hemp clothing companies.
An estimated 15,000 people attended over the course of two days, a signifi-
cant enough number to suggest that the mainstreaming of the marijuana
movement was in full swing. Once a motley gathering of counterculture
rebels, medical mavericks, legal iconoclasts, and stoned philosophy ma-
jors, hemp rallies—the 2010 Hemp Expo certainly qualifies—have evolved
from a pop culture oddity to a lifestyle choice to big business.
Indeed, the November election ballot initiative on the legalization of mar-

ijuana—hint: vote early and vote often!—loomed large on the minds of
many. As much as the panels, exhibitions, and medical experts on hand in
one part of the venue seemed designed to legitimize what had once been
an outlaw culture, the mood and atmosphere in the “215” section” bespoke
a different story. There, heads from everywhere—Humboldt, Oregon,
Canada, Mexico, Europe, Africa—celebrated the, er, celebratory aspects of
marijuana.
In no uncertain terms, the 2010 Hemp Expo was every bit as auspicious as
a hair-metal frizz-fest three decades had been. This was a hemporium to
rival the best Amsterdam has to offer, but without the plane trip required.

Inside the massive concourse, there were two main exhibition areas. The eight merchants hawking “vapes,” while the colored glasswares of Delta 9

Fast, Friendly, SAFE Access To Quality Medicine
On a more somber note, on my way to the venue, I ran into
a man who called himself Lil Jack, wearing a Jack Herer t-
shirt. Lil’ Jack was still in mourning for his namesake, the
author of the groundbreaking hemp manifesto “The Em-
10773 San Pablo Ave
peror Wears No Clothes,” who had recently passed away.
Though distraught with emotions, Lil Jack informed me that

(after paying off Herer’s remaining medical bills).
Still, the good times rolled on at the official Hempfest after-

party, held at the 2B1 warehouse/performance stage in the
SF Mission district. More vape bags were passed around and

including Ken Estes and WCC Editor Ngaio Bealum, who

There is probably no higher honor in the Cannabis Movement than to have a strain named after you. Jack Herer is a great plant, named
after a great man. A mix of Haze (50%), Northern Lights #5 (37.5%), and Skunk #1 (12.5%), Jack Herer is a strong, sativa dominant hybrid
with a great flavor (citrus, cream, and skunk) and smooth, powerful, mostly cerebral effects. It takes about 60-70 days to reach full ma-
turity. Jack Herer is a truly unique, wonderful, and thought provoking plant, named for a truly unique and wonderful, thought provoking
person. Next time you try this strain, take a moment to remember the man who made it all possible. —editor@westcoastcannabis.com
