A LETTER TO OUR READERS The November issue of THC Magazine marks two years since our first publication hit the streets of Colorado. You are the reason we are striving to become the best cannabis magazine on the planet. Words can’t describe our heartfelt appreciation. So in the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday, we wish to list some of the many reasons we have to be thankful. We are thankful for . . . Our Readers - without you we would have no reason to do what we do. Thank you for being fans of THC. Our Advertisers - without you we would not be here for our readers. Thank you for trusting us to present you in a professional manner. Cannabis Activists - thank you for fighting the fight all these years. Your efforts have paid off. The prohibition of cannabis is on its last legs and reefer madness is no longer an epidemic in the United States. Thank you for your relentless pursuit of spreading truth. Cannabis legalization across the country has higher approval ratings than our politicians. Thanks to you, Colorado had its first hemp harvest in over 60 years. Brave Politicians - thanks to those lawmakers who stand on the side of common sense treatment of cannabis. It takes courage to bring positive change. Cannabis Attorneys - for protecting the patients, businesses and activists in pursuit of cannabis freedom. Patients - thanks to those who have gone out on a limb to share your stories and face persecution for promoting cannabis as a medicine. Doctors and Healthcare Professionals - thanks for standing up for the healing properties of cannabis. We give thanks for living in these exciting times. We are grateful for being part of an awakening, a civil rights movement, an industry with the potential to heal people and save our environment. Living in the great state of Colorado! Our Families, Friends and Loved Ones. Your support has sustained all of us We love you! From the THC Family to All of You, We Wish You a Safe and Happy Thanksgiving! Peace, Love and Hempiness,
