Today we have another featured article for you to enjoy. It discusses, at length, various cannabis ingestion methods, and provides some unbiased product reviews to help you find suitable products that will help you to better medicate, or enjoy recreationally. This year we feature smoking methods, and vaporizers. This lengthy article that starts this year, in the 2013 Summit, concludes next year in the 2014 Summit; it is our cliffhanger to giving you something to look forward to.
Adam Assenberg (pronounced Ace-in-berg) is running to be Sheriff of his region with the intention to arrest any DEA or other Federal Agents that come onto his turf to bully anyone legally (State Laws) involved with cannabis. He explains his brave intentions, and supports it all with the important legalese, but states it all in such a way that we lay-people can understand. He also shares from his fascinating life journey which brought him to this point where he is now an important cannabis activist worth taking note of, particularly by fellow Americans.
Ryan, from the Norther Ontario Compassion Club is in many ways similar to Adam, hence why they are presented side-by-side. Whereas Adam is a bright on his legal knowledge, Ryan too is simply brilliant, except that he is knowledgeable about his Canadian laws. In this long discussion he delves deeply into specifics of Canadian law, which Canadians ought to pay great attention to, but others might find irrelevant. However, what is relevant to everyone else is that he strongly believes that everyone ought to drop watching some TV to make the time to study their cannabis laws (of whatever country & region you live in). His message about that is actually quite important. Furthermore, for Canadians again, near the end of the call we come up with an interesting legal defence that may be applicable to Canadians. Hopefully some lawyer will listen to this call and will be able to comment on the idea presented, whether it is valid or not (lawyers, if you listen to this call to the end please email us what you think about the legal idea discussed. Thanks!).
Last but not least we enjoy speaking with Cade Stone from Labworx-Skillet.com about the titanium skillet glass attachment that allows you to vaporize cannabis concentrates through your bong. Maybe you've seen others doing it before - heating a metal plate using a torch then bong hitting some hash - and here he explains the "how to", and elaborates upon the benefits of ingesting your cannabis this way. He even discusses how to make concentrates that may be used with the skillet (or other devices that use hash oils).

Cheryl Shuman - Omnipresent Cannabis Advocate & Entrepreneur - CherylShuman.com
If you haven't come across Cheryl yet then you must be an internet hermit on cannabis topics. This Hollywood celebrity, social media expert, and brilliant marketer is rapidly positioning herself to be a big name in the emerging era of the "Pot Com Boom". At the very least you have probably seen her recently on the Ricki Lake Show in the historically significant episode where Ricki discusses medical marijuana along with the beloved guest "Brave Mykayla". Cheryl talks about the Ricki lake episode, as well as revealing some details about her new marijuana related reality TV series that she is currently producing, with Hollywood executives. Cheryl shares some tidbits from her life, her personal battle with cancer, and other cannabis relevant facets worthy of one day appearing in a biography about this fascinating woman. One thing that you should notice after listening to Cheryl in this recording is that she is truly a wonderful person, has a good heart, and is a "real" person despite being a Hollywood persona. We converse at length about the business opportunities that are now available due to the evolving legalization processes, touched upon stocks, and even encourage others to participate in this exceptional time to be a green entrepreneur. She shares with us more information about the CannaCig Vapor Inhaler, and the Cumulus Vapor Inhaler, which are exceptional vaporizers that look exactly like typical eCigarettes, except designed to be used with quality cannabis concentrates. Considering the number and nature of cannabis related projects that she is involved with, she is definitely worth following on social media to find out about interesting developments or simply to enjoy the bountiful content she provides offering us all "behind-the-scenes" & "backstage" access to lots of intriguing events & conversations.
Featured Article - Smoking & Vaping Methods
This content will be available soon
This huge article explains the numerous ways that cannabis is frequently smoked or vaporized, and reviews some paraphernalia that is used for those methods. Surely many of you already are experts in some ways of consuming this herb, but many people need to learn that there are numerous ways to indulge or to medicate, particularly those who are newcomers to cannabis. Most people naturally think of smoking a joint (a cannabis cigarette), but there are many other ways to smoke marijuana, and other healthier ways to consume it that don't involve smoking, such as vaporizing, eating it, using tinctures, applying it topically, and even the fun-to-discuss method of using it as a suppository. Most of these methods may be enjoyed recreationally, but especially medicinal users will want to see the many choices they have to medicate, and to select the methods that might be best for them.
Adam Assenberg
Adam Assenberg - Don't mess with the Sheriff - Adam4Sheriff.org
This guy is one amazing activist. After having his back smashed by criminals trying to steal explosives under his guard working for the LAPD, he quickly came to discover the astounding medicinal value of cannabis, and it led him down a fascinating life path. He shares how he was able to get off extreme opiates use, enough to put down an elephant, without any withdrawal symptoms, and that the pain relieving & seizure arresting properties of the cannabis is unmatched by the ton of morphine and other pharmaceuticals he had to take. He mentions his legal challenges being kicked out of housing for his legal medical marijuana usage, and shares his experience running a dispensary that got raided, illegally, in 2011, which later he won in the courts. He briefly shares about his time as a host of the "Marijuana: Fact or Fiction" radio show that ran for 3 years in Idaho (KRFP 92.5 FM). After hearing him sharing his intriguing past, and the numerous nuggets of insights scattered throughout, we then delve into his current activist project, which is the main purpose of this interview. Adam is running for Sheriff. Apparently, the local Sheriff has more power than the DEA, and so if he gets elected into power he vows to protect the rights of cannabis users, dispensaries, and others who are abiding by State & local laws, and will arrest any DEA agent(s) that illegally step into Adam's turf to harrass any cannabis users. Naturally one wonders if a local Sheriff can do all that, and apparently they can! Adam demystifies why this is so, and explains how he plans to send powerful political messages via his running for Sheriff. He encourages other Sheriffs to do their jobs properly (upholding the rights of cannabis users), and inspires others to follow in his footsteps by running for Sheriff in their local areas. One impressive trait Adam exhibits is his outstanding knowledge of the law, and his ability to refer to law titles and even directly quote them from memory. He strongly recommends that people, all of YOU, take the time to study your laws, and he explains the benefits for you to do so.
Ryan from NOCC
Ryan - Northern Ontario Compassion Club - NOCC.ca
Originally we thought to discuss something completely different, but during our pre-interview discussions it became obvious that Ryan had another impassioned message to share with us, so we completely switched gears. In a nutshell, Ryan strongly encourages everyone to forget about watching TV and to "read some law", meaning read the laws and really get to understand them. He explains that by understanding the laws you really understand what your rights are, and are able to clearly see the insanity of the prohibition laws. Importantly, you can find the loopholes and contradictions within the law. This may help prepare you better for senseless encounters with law enforcement officers, and to prepare your "defence" in court. It also helps you to become a better activist. Though Ryan is NOT a lawyer or providing any legal advice, it is admirable that a layperson can know more about relevant laws than professionals who ought to know the laws do. Most of this interview he specifically refers to Canadian laws. If you are a Canadian than it would be worth listening to this entire interview (and follow along online), particularly since near the end we discuss some legal ideas that might possibly be a legal loophole for medicinal users (hopefully some lawyer could provide feedback on these ideas?). Granted, for most people around the world (not Canadians) might find this interview somewhat irrelevant to themselves, but as mentioned at the start of this speaker description, Ryan does share some insights about learning your cannabis laws, and thus there is relevant information for you to consider learning more about your laws.

Cade Stone - Vapor Skillet Glass Artist - Labworx-Skillet.com
In this bonus interview Cade discusses the benefits of using a skillet to medicate with. What is a "skillet vaporizer"? It is a glass bell that attaches into a bong, and it has a titanium plate that you heat up and then place some high quality cannabis concentrates upon. He explains why this is a healthier alternative to smoking, and how for medicinal users that need powerful effects that this may be a better choice. In addition to talking about the quality vaporizer they produce, and how to use it, Cade also explains a few ways to safely produce quality cannabis concentrates to be used in such a device. This is worth listening to especially if you are interested in learning how to make hash concentrates without killing yourself (he recommends that you DO NOT use butane due to the extreme dangers).
