HAPPY MARIJUANAKA 
Celebrate the Festival of Lights Colorado-Style!

Here's wishing all the members of the "tribe" a beautiful Festival of Lights!


This year start a new tradition of one bong hit for each night of Chanukkah. By the 8th night you'll think you're back in the Temple chillin' with the Maccabees.  

And though we can't promise getting high and watching Fiddler on the Roof is a good time, at least you'll be doing one thing in your life your Grandma would approve of.

And don't feel guilty about smoking pot - it's Kosher!

SANJAY'S PRIVATE RESERVE  
First Release from our Gardener's Select Series!

We're opening up our seed vault and slowly releasing our new Gardener's Select strains to the public.These are one of a kind seed strains and in limited releases. Once they're gone, they're gone. Packs of 5 non-feminized seeds are $75. And the first batch to be released: the "Gupta Kush" line. 

SANJAY'S PRIVATE RESERVE

Gupta kush has become our standard-bearer for high potency bud with excellent yields and deeply soothing, almost psychedelic highs. Our original Gupta is one of our top selling strains and now we've bred it up to another level entirely, in four outstanding ways: Krishna Kush, Naima, Night Nurse and Fortune Cookie.

The synergy is remarkable - high yielding, highly exploratory strains with highs that have taken even our most experienced growers to the (yoga) mat. Click here to learn more!

MEDICAL STRAIN O' THE WEEK 
Sunburn for just $25 an 1/8th
at Helping Hands and The Bud Depot! 

 
This is one sunburn you want to get. In fact, this brilliant strain was a favorite of William Breathes in his review of Helping Hands Dispensary in Westword.   

Sunburn is a rippin' Island Sweet Skunk phenotype that'll clear your head and energize your body while helping take the deep out of depression. (That doesn't really make sense, but you try to write a newsletter while holding your breath for 6 hours because you're in a cafe in Prague and everyone is smoking cigarettes.) Medical only. Coupon for the Depot below! No coupon required for Helping Hands. Not allowed to have coupons in Boulder.

To get your deal 1/8 in Boulder, simply say the password Nejneobhospodařov�vatelnějs�. Say it three times fast and get a 10-cent joint (then go teach Czech at the university). For the Depot print out or point out the coupon on yer phone. One 1/8 per customer per week at either store. Really a great, fun, hi-test strain - don't miss! Na zdrav�!

Put a Bird on It
Send a Pic, Get a Joint!

Take our Doobird sticker someplace cool, snap a pic, send it in and get a 10-cent joint next time you visit us! This week the Bird pic is from Iceland, compliments of your newsletterist who's tripping around Europe.

There's no more aptly named place than dark, frozen (but cozy) Iceland - but the locals take it in style.

For example, when trying to take off from Reyjavik airport in an ice storm with 60 mile an hour winds, the pilot comes on the loudspeaker and tells us that there's too much ice on the runway and we can't take off.

"Not to worry," he said. "They are putting a little sand in front of the plane so we can get enough traction to take off. Hopefully, it will work." That's one of those moments when you wish the Pilot didn't translate into English.

Here's the Doobird in front of the Hallgrimskirkja. If you can say any Icelandic word correctly even once. . . you're probably from Iceland.

Stoner Move of the Week
Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things
 (while high)

Stopped in Amsterdam for some ganja festivities during a backpacking trip to Europe, but when it was time to pack and leave I couldn't find a tiny piece of hash I'd had in my pocket. I searched everywhere but figured I'd lost it. Bought a Eurail ticket to Madrid, not knowing that Amsterdam to Madrid direct was a known drug smuggling route. Get on the train. All stuffy business people in suits. Except for me, dirty backpacker with long hair. The cops come on train to check passports. They bypass everyone and come right to me. "Did you smoke marijuana in Amsterdam?" "No, of course not." "Ok come with us."

They open my wallet and find a pack of pipe screens. Oops. Off we go to the back of the train. They search my backpack. When they found my Walkman wrapped in my jacket (this was a loooong time ago) they thought they had found a brick of hash. They were very disappointed. But they were inspired. Time for a strip search which included places only my doctor has seen. Nothing.

After an hour they found it. A tic-tac sized piece of hash you could mistake for a rabbit poo. Their big bust was on. They locked me in the train car while they decided my punishment. They came back. They looked serious. They held up the world's smallest piece of hash and said "This is forbidden in France" and made me flush it down the world's smallest toilet because all toilets in Europe are basically the size of the spit sink at the dentist. Flushing it was the real crime, but at least I was all clear to Madrid.

This week submitted by me, your newsletterist, from my archive of dumb things I've done while high. Do you have a Stoner Move of the week? Of course you do. Submit it here and you'll get a 10-cent joint on your next visit to Helping Hands or Bud Depot.

Budtender of the Week
Know the friendly people who schling your nugs!
 
First Name: Sam

Hometown: Walpole, Massachusetts.

How long have you been in Colorado?:  It will be 3 awesome years this New Years day.

What brings you here/what do you love most about Colorado?  I was sick of driving 4 hours to New Hampshire to go hiking and I had just graduated from college and was looking for a change. I love the natural high of being at the summit of a14er and feeling like I'm on top of the world...it's just amazing.  Moving here has been one of the best decisions I've ever made!

Sativa or Indica?:  Indica all the way! I love the relaxing quality especially at night when I'm winding down. But if I'm hanging out with people, a hybrid is also good. Nothing like good company with a good smoke.

Strain of weed you'd want with you on a deserted island:  I would have to go with Hindu Kush. It seems to be the perfect indica for me; the right amount of relaxation without being too sleepy.  I also love how it makes me laugh at the silliest things :)

Favorite Edible?: I really liked the Strongest Cookie in the World. It didn't have an overly weedy taste thankfully and had a really nice come-up high and left me giggling all night. 

Funniest/strangest customer request?  I heard a customer ask if we had 70's weed... cause weed today is too strong.

Coolest/funnest thing you've ever done while high?"  I was going up on a rollercoaster and once we reached the very top, my high kicked in full force and....just kidding. I honestly can't think of anything..but that's because I was high and forgot what happened :P

Favorite food when you have the munchies?:  Blue Bell Chocolate Chip ice cream!! Even in winter! But if I don't have that, I usually go for Kit-Kats. Or I'll just eat what's in reach haha.

Tunes you rock out to on your way to work?:  This is my favorite question on here...I love cruisin down 287/66 switching between classic rock (Pink Floyd, Led Zep, and all the rock legends) and heavier rock like System of a Down, Korn, Rob Zombie, etc., it really helps wake me up in the morning.  Music is the best part of my drive into the Depot.

Career you'd have if you weren't budtending (What are you supposed to be doing?) I would definitely be working at a garden center in perennials. I LOVE plants,  working outside, getting my hands dirty, educating people about plants...just everything about that type of work. Every season is different, every day is different...it's a unique job. I also get to use what I learn at work when I hike, like finding edible plants or just being able to identify what something is. I just really love it!

You get the chance to smoke a joint and chill with any famous person - who would it be - and why?: First of all, I'm jealous of the guys who got to meet the Trailer Park Boys! That's awesome! With that said, I would love to smoke with Dustin Pedroia, the second baseman of the Boston Red Sox! I love baseball and he's one of the few amazing infielders who play through their injuries, so I'll make our J an indica ☺

Philosophy/Words to live by.:  A while ago I was asked where I see myself in 5 years, and that got me thinking...I realized I don't care where I am as long as I'm happy.  I think happiness is something we should strive for and not just go through daily life always thinking 'what if?' Try new things, say 'yes' instead of 'no' (otherwise I wouldn't be here working with amazing people!)  You might be pleasantly surprised ☺
