Choogle On with Uncle Weed

A curious Christmas gift of a budding ganja plant gets Uncle Weed making a micro grow environment for a purple kush plant. He assembles the light mogul and reflector shield and talks about metal halide and high pressure sodium bulbs, the mystery of ballasts and nutrients plus other useful grow show tidbits learned at Jon’s Plant Factory (on Hastings in Burnaby just past Boundary). Plus talks about a hookahs from Baghdad and Moorish musings from a Tetaria in Granada, Espana.

Cutting through the woods late for the bus, Uncle Weed admits his confusion concerning Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and gives the whole low-down on Ross’s history and points out Wikipedia’s errors, then … announces everyone’s a winner! Plus pimps more fave podcasts and happyvappys.

Days later, catches up with God Bud and Purple Smurf from the secret herbal lounge (good to hang in power outages), Gastown’s colorful history, homeless housing, fallen trees in Stanley Park, hockey games and Festivus gift ideas.

Aspiring actor and noted carouser O-dawg tells Uncle Weed about his hi-jinks starring in a French reality TV show called “The Lucky Bastard.” He recounts the production foibles, drunken debacles and beach fire exploits of hanging out with African immigrants, smoking hash and scoring with international lassies at the bar and spreads rumours of a existing video tape.

Then, after rollling a joint of outdoor Mendicino Sunshine and Mango in fascinating clear cellulose papers, they head up to San Francisco’s historic Buena Vista Park to dig the view, roast out and continue the story about security nonsense and NYC funtime. >

With six varieties of tasty ganja and two Americans in tow, Uncle Weed heads up to the mountains to test each strain in weed in the Happy Vappy.

They lazily review Organic Blueberry, Diesel, Mountain Kind, Cambie weed, Cherry Hash, and Jack Hare while watching Canucks hockey, discussing recent articles in Heads Magazine about travel in Japan and Ross Rebagliati’s quest for 2010, plus recent marijuana proposition failure in Colorado with the Colorado Kid and Anne Bonny the lady pirate. >
