Part one HERE Part two HERE I have been unable to contact anyone from the second Vancouver Seed Bank (Now Vancity Seeds) who is allowed to comment on the events described by Rebecca in the second part of this article. Therefore I will not be bringing you a balanced story. They have not responded to three phone calls, one facebook message, and an email. They have my FULL legal name

/I know this is a repost but I wrote this article before this blog and I'm moving off the site I had it on originally/ A visitor to Vancouver walks down an unfamiliar street in an unknown neighborhood; the air is warm, the coffee shops plentiful, and the people happy. All in all a normal Canadian day filled with happiness and maple syrup. In the midst of normalcy one

GEAR bong review

It was a rainy night and I was going to the New Amsterdam to sit for a few minutes before heading home. Right in front of the doors a few cooks I knew and hadn’t seen in a dog’s age were waiting for somebody else. Quickly we exchanged greetings and went inside the New Amsterdam.

WEED REVIEW

2009-11-24T10:38:00.001-08:00

Given name: Juicy Fruit (This was confirmed by two veteran customers at the New Amsterdam). Cost: $10 a gram. Buds: Light greenish-yellow, small pistils, very well trimmed. Dense but elongated to suggest a sativa. Dried enough for a very good joint and a smooth and herbal smoke. Trichomes: light white, frosting the buds, not too sticky though. Smell: Light and sweet with a trace of

A Theft in the Community?-2

2009-11-18T00:28:00.000-08:00

Part one HERE In a telephone interview with Rebecca Ambrose, the owner of the first Vancouver Seed Bank, I was given her take on the events that she said led to a storefront-protest. According to Rebecca, owner of the VSB since its opening in may 07’, after hours on the 19th of October the ex-manager, Kaara Heywood, used her key to enter the 872 Hastings location of the VSB, proceeding to

A theft in the community?

2009-11-16T23:00:00.000-08:00

Recently on one of my trips to the New Amsterdam, I decided to stop across the way at the Vancouver Seed Bank to enjoy a more relaxed smoking space before diving into the swirl of smoke and speech that is our beloved café on a weekend. Turning the corner a pair of women drew my eye. Stationed in front of the door to the VSB and dressed for the biting cold of a Vancouver November, both held a

Portland Medicinal Cafe

Yesterday saw the opening of Portland’s first medical marijuana cafe. Located at 700 NE Dekum St, Rumpspankers will serve the medical user of Portland and provide a public venue for them to congregate and medicate. Unfortunately for visitors to the state you must be a part of the Oregon Medical Marijuana plan to be allowed in the café. The initial entry fee was $25, which

The great broadway fire of '09

2009-11-12T19:50:00.000-08:00

As I was standing on the millennium line this morning rushing to get to class one word spread from ear to mouth at a viral pace. Fire, fire, fire! Even before I left the train I knew the basics, fire, broadway, traffic, and tragic are the four keywords focused on by my fellow transit-tory citizens. Now at class, with the teacher a half hour late for a completely related reason, I have the time to

I Live in vancouver and I love it. The food, the culture, the music, the art; they all intermingle in a recipe unique to this little rainforest on the east coast. The people who live in this place and the sense of being that envelops my city is a constant companion in these troubled times. It might not be true, and it might not be right, but it exists and nothing on either side of the border
