there have been a great deal of new developments in the last week here in the bay are. A cannabis club was raided by the DEA on Thursday morning and by late after noon anybody who is a member of NORML or The Marijuana Policy Project had received an email regarding the raid.
Also this weekend my friend and I we went into the Oakland to get a feel for the mood in the city and to visit Blue Sky Coffee Shop and dispensary which is one of the four sanctioned clubs in the city. More than just a coffe shop it is also the flagship Club for the Oaksterdam community.
So to recap the raid by the DEA no one knows for sure just yet why it was raided but according to the DEA the club was not following or adhering well enough to state law but beyond that they would not comment. In reality I think the feeling is that the DEA just want to send a statement and intimidate the clubs while at the same time test the Obama administrations policy.
The belief seems to be that they (the DEA) wants to see how much power they still hold and how far they can push before the twig breaks and they overstep the boundaries. Frankly it is bullshit and I think they are on an ego trip. By choosing San Francisco over L.A. or anyt other city they are sending a message and know they will get news coverage and spread fear.
Anyways we cannot live in fear and I was glad to see that things were still quiet at the Coffee Shop Blue Sky. The coffee is incredibly good and the clone selection is very nice. For those of you who are interested I have included copies of the last two clone catalogs that they have published. Note that only the varieties in Winter 2009 catalog are currently available. Seed is also available from DJ short at the dispensary. Also show up really early because clones get sold out quickly. There were people there from all over the Bay Area. Modesto was represented and as far north as Napa County and even one from a county too far away to mention online but lets just say that that person left with a smile on his face especialy after having spent the night in a hotel waiting for their elite Purple Kush clones.
Show up atleast a half hour before they open but don't be too surprised if you are not the first person inline. We showed up on a Friday an hour early and there were already 12 people in line ahead of us. Don't be discouraged if you show up late though unless you show up after noon when they are sure to have run out.
Enjoy the catalog and thank god you live int he BayArea. Coming up in May we will do a peice on the Nirvana Seed Company out of the Netherlands.
Shout out to Danny from up North and good luck.
