SUPPLEMENT TO THE INLANDER

BE AWARE Marijuana is legal for adults 21 and older under Washington State law (e.g., RCW 69.50, RCW 69.51A, HB0001 Initiative 502 and Senate Bill 5052).

In Washington state, consuming marijuana in public, driving while under the influence of marijuana and transporting marijuana across state lines are all illegal. Marijuana has intoxicating effects; there may be health risks associated with its consumption, and it may be habit-forming. It can also impair concentration, coordination and judgment. Do not operate a vehicle or machinery under the influence of this drug. Keep out of reach of children. For more information, consult the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board at www.liq.wa.gov.

So You Wanna Get High…

Local budtenders share advice for first-time consumers Trust Your Nose Royal’s Cannabis budtender Ben Neidigh suggests those new to marijuana take note of how strongly the flower smells, as that’s a good indication of the high the strain gives. “Terpenes are what give marijuana its smell and its flavor,” he says. “It’s also the catalyst that gets the THC into your bloodstream, so if you get a bud that smells really good and there’s a lot of smell to it, then you know it has enough of the terpenes to get all of the THC into your bloodstream, and you feel the full effect of that bud.”

Watch and Learn Cinder budtender and supervisor Zack Krogh says curious consumers can find videos on YouTube about everything from rolling a joint to smoking from a bong to breaking up marijuana.

Know Your Colors Orange labels indicate sativa strains, green labels indicate hybrid strains, and purple labels indicate indica strains. Green Nugget budtender Rachel Franzen says this labeling system is fairly standard throughout the industry.

Start Small Because new consumers have a lower threshold for THC, the ingredient in marijuana that gets consumers high, Franzen says an edible, which usually contains about 10 milligrams of THC, is the perfect starting place. But the “start small” suggestion still applies to those looking to smoke pot. Krogh says it’s easy for new smokers to become turned off from smoking after experiencing a strain with a high THC content. “It’s not the weed

that your parents and grandparents were smoking, where you could smoke a big ’ol joint and go function,” he cautions. “You’re not going to be able to function after a joint sometimes.”

Take it In, Let it Go Neidigh warns smokers who want to try dabs and concentrates against thinking like a smoker. “As bud smokers, we’re basically trained to take a hit and hold it in for a minute or two, then let it out,” he says. “You can’t do that with a concentrate; you’ll end up coughing for 20 minutes. I tell people who are going to move up to concentrates to take it in and let it go.” Franzen echoes Neidigh’s warning regarding concentrates. “[New consumers] should probably not buy concentrates or an oil-infused GREEN ZONE IN joint right off the bat,” she says.

Best of all, Sativa Sisters offers customers a different deal every day of the week. 10525 E TRENT AVE, SPOKANE

SATORI According to the shop’s website, “Satori” is the Buddhist term for an awakening or sudden enlightenment, and legalization is an awakening of cultural norms. Makes sense.

Owner Justin Wilson, who also oversees the Piece of Mind glass shops, expands on that awakening with a menu chock full of flowers, pre-rolls, concentrates and edibles, plus body care products. Making shopping even easier for customers is the fact that Spokane’s Satori location is right next to a Piece of Mind shop. 9301 N DIVISION ST, SPOKANE; also at 1330 SE BISHOP BLVD, PULLMAN

SAVAGE THC S avage THC is a dream come true and a labor of love. That’s why its owners, who live nearby in Clayton and set up shop in 2014, keep the store open every day — even on Christmas. A unique feature of Savage THC is that it often carries different varieties of upcoming strains that often aren’t available elsewhere. It also sells Ray’s Yummy Lemonade, which is infused with hash oil and made locally in Clayton.

LOUIS W. I t’s a family affair at Louis W. LLC, a family-operated producer and processor in Newman Lake. Louis W. knows some smokers like it silly, while others like a more classic smoke. It grows strains like Kandy Kush, Gigabud and White Lavender for the former and strains like Sage and Northern Lights for the latter. The producer/processor also caters to fans of concentrates with high-potency bubble hash and shatter.

Louis W. products can be found at Sativa Sisters.

MR WHOLESALE You can’t get much more local than Spokane’s MR Wholesale, a processor and grower that serves retail stores across the state. The processor grows strains like Alien Dawg and Pineapple Express, and has created a line of hard cannabis candy in flavors including butterscotch, raspberry and peppermint. But MR, which stands for “Made Right,” specializes in crumbles. MR products are available locally at Satori, Top Shelf, Spokane Green Leaf, 4:20 Friendly and Cannabis and Glass. mrwholesalewashington.com

NEW DAY CANNABIS New Day Cannabis is all about keeping it natural. The Newport, Washington-based producer grows its flowers in living soil with all organic ingredients. In fact, New Day’s marijuana is so natural, it’s been named a “safe” cannabis product by Spokane testing lab Trace Analytics in accordance

with the Safe Cannabis Project, which aims to teach retailers and consumers about pesticide use in cannabis products, “safe” or otherwise. Safe Cannabis Project-approved products from New Day Cannabis are available at Satori.

NU GREEN Another Spokane-grown producer, NuGreen is truly a “green” company. The growers use organic farming methods and plan to add LED lighting, solar energy and other carbon-footprint-reducing techniques. NuGreen grows nearly a dozen strains, including B-52, Dutch Treat, Purple Kush Diesel, OG Chemdawg and Permafrost. NuGreen products, which also include oil and edibles, can be found across the state and locally at Sativa Sisters, Cinder, Spokane Green Leaf, Top Shelf and Green Light. nugreenusa.com

PIECE OF MIND I f you’re in the market for a pipe, Piece of Mind should be your first stop. It will most likely be your only stop as well.

No matter your price range or aesthetic, Piece of Mind has it in stock. pieceofmind.net

ZOOTS The employees at Zoots have earned the right to be called Zootologists. The Seattle-based company uses what it calls the Cypress Extraction Method to capture the THC in marijuana, using organic cane alcohol in a cold fusion process. From that process comes a variety of treats, including ZootBites brownies; ZootDrops, flavored drops that can be added to beverages; ZootRocks, a sugar-free hard cannabis candy; and ZootBlast, a cannabis energy drink. Zoots products are available in a dozen shops around Eastern Washington. zootology.com n

Budtender Zack Krogh with a jar of Kush Valley’s Durban Poison at Cinder.

Hey, Budtender!

Cinder’s Zack Krogh was voted Best Budtender by

Inlander readers in 2016; he shared his thoughts about the legal cannabis marketplace with Green Zone Are you excited for the medical merger?

What are the latest trends?

Oh, yeah. It’s a huge deal economically. Medical patients can purchase three times as much as a regular customer. Also, you get to help people. Before, if somebody asked me, “What can you do for my back pain today?” I couldn’t give them any help. But now [as of July 1, 2016], if they have a doctor’s recommendation, I can tell them what strains, edibles and topicals work for their pain.

Concentrates are becoming a larger part of the industry. We sell almost as many concentrates as we do flowers.

What questions do people ask most often?

What’s the best part of your job?

“What’s your highest THC?” The other question that we’re finally getting a lot more is, “What are you smoking? What are you using?” That’s the easiest way to give advice.

I connect with our customers, our producers and other retailers.

When I was going to that class, we had to take a 100-question exam, and I got a 99 out of 100. When I was at Eastern [Washington University], I didn’t get any 99 out of 100s on any exams, but I also didn’t have that passion and that yearning to be better at it, learn more. My favorite part is waking up and coming to somewhere you know you belong. You can’t beat it.

So some customers don’t ask questions?

A lot don’t think to ask. You can look up our menu online so they usually know what they want, and if they don’t, it’s because they don’t know what’s good.

Are “little old ladies” still coming in?

Oh, yeah… I’ve learned to expect anything. There shouldn’t be a stereotype with stoners. If you want to enjoy a joint, that’s OK. It doesn’t make you a stoner.

14 Green Zone Guide 2016-17

Why do you think that is?

It’s becoming more popular, more accessible. Prior to the retail industry, concentrates were really hard to come by. Now it’s really sterilized, it’s sanctioned and it’s the clean way to inhale.

What are your hopes for the future?

I want to see it become legal everywhere. It seems like Washington has it figured out in terms of making laws, making money from it. I’d like to see other states jump on board. I’d like to see a healthier respect and acceptance for it. n

“POPULAR PUFFS,” CONTINUED...

Maui The aptly titled tropical strain is said to be more head-heavy than other sativas, with an effect that builds slowly and lasts for more than two hours for some users. Golden Pineapple, Blue Dream (also popular at Royal’s Cannabis) and Maui are all top sellers at Lucky Leaf. Budtender Justin Fulton thinks that’s because the strains are all sativa-dominant. “People on this side of the state are really into the sativas more for the activeness,” he says. “People are looking for the heady, more creative [strains].

They want to get out and hike and do stuff, instead of sit in their house and do video games.”

AK-47 Hardcore name, mellow high. This mix of Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Afghani strains keeps users alert and engaged creatively and socially with its earthy smell and floral taste. It’s also a popular strain because of its through-the-roof THC content. This strain — as well as Primus, a potent strain that provides longlasting euphoria and can be used to help appetite loss and pain relief, and Northwest Cannabis Solutions’ Cherries Jubilee — is a big hit with Green Nugget customers.

Blue Suede Shoes The origins of this strain are unknown (some say it’s a cross between Afgoo and Heavy Duty, others think it’s OG Kush crossed with an unknown sativa), but its popularity among Cinder customers is proven. Budtender/supervisor Zack Krogh says the shop has a difficult time keeping it in stock, and has created a sign-up list so fans of the strain can be notified when the next shipment comes in. “We usually have at least 15 names between the last Blue Suede Shoes we sell and when it comes back in,” Krogh says. “It doesn’t stay on the shelf for more than a week.” n

If you’re 21 or older, you can enter a state-licensed pot store, show your ID and buy some bud.

In Washington state parks, you can light up in your own RV or tent, but not in view of others or in a state-owned cabin or yurt.
