The Holiday Season is upon us, and Kush 21 in Burien is certainly feeling moved by the holiday spirit! The shop was the first in town and has worked tirelessly to not only create a name for themselves, but also to substantiate themselves as being one of the best things to happen to the town. They are proving that again with a canned food drive they are putting on in their shop in partnership with Northwest Harvest located in historic Kent.

Their canned food drive extends through the end of the year, and to offer extra incentive to donate, customers can receive 1% off their entire purchase for each food item they donate, with a maximum of up to 15% off per person, per day. This means that if you bring in 15 cans of food, you can get up to 15% off your entire purchase every day until 2017! Not only is that a chance to stock up on the cheap, but also to give back to the surrounding community and make sure that fewer people go hungry around the holidays. If the weed alone didn’t make you feel good enough, now you get some spiritual cleansing as well!

As if that wasn’t enough, Kush 21 is also working on organizing a Coat and Warm Clothes Drive that we should have more details soon on. The temperatures are dropping outside, and the shop doesn’t want to see anyone go unnecessarily cold, and we applaud their humanitarian efforts. It’s always nice to see others giving back because the feeling is infectious, and taking part in the cause just makes you feel better about the state of the world, even in the most trying times.

Kush 21 in Burien certainly is in the holiday spirit!

Also, Kush 21 will be offering Christmas Specials where they will offer 5 different products ranging from 10-25% off each day through the holiday. And if you forgot to stock up, don’t worry, because they want to make sure that no one has to spend the holidays without herb! The shop will be open both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to provide Christmas cheer and Christmas Cheeba.

Be sure to get down to Kush 21 before the end of the year and bring some canned goods along with you if you want to receive their great discounts! The shop is located at 17730 Ambaum Blvd. S in Burien, and is open from 9a-11p daily. You certainly won’t regret it!

Expect pot shops in Downtown Seattle

On Monday, the City Council voted to make buffer zones smaller for marijuana retail stores. Previously, the state law required a 1,000 foot buffer.

The buffer has been reduced to 500 feet from certain establishments such as daycares, parks, etc. The 1,000 foot buffer between schools and pot shops stays in effect.

The buffer is reduced even further to 250 feet in downtown. This will make it easier for visitors to the city to purchase marijuana instead of trekking to other parts of the city.

The vape craze: Smoking vs. vaping marijuana. Is vaping better for you than smoking weed?

By 5 Comments

As vaporizers become more and more popular, the debate between smoking vs. vaping marijuana becomes louder and louder. Is smoking marijuana better for you, or is vaping better?

We already have several companies in Washington State who manufacture and sell vaporizers. Most notably, Vuber Technologies who specialize in oil and herb vaporizers and Fez, who sells a stylish dry herb vaporizer in 3 different colors.

Our friends at Vapingwise.com have created an infographic to argue the point that vaping weed is better for you as opposed to smoking.

Alcohol vs. Marijuana: ‘THC damages the immune system, alcohol does not’

By 1 Comment

It is sometimes ridiculous and unbelievable, the stuff that gets published. Unfortunately, there is not enough accountability for blatant and potentially dangerous misinformation.

There is a site called: A Foundation for a Drug-Free World that ranks on the first page of Google for the term “marijuana,” and gets roughly 1,000,000 visitors a month. Meaning, almost 1,000,000 people a month is subject to misinformation. The tagline is: “Find out the truth about drugs.”

Want an example of of potentially dangerous misinformation? Look know further than the section titled: Alcohol vs. Marijuana. This is what the site states after claiming: ‘Here are the facts.’

  • Alcohol consists of one substance only: ethanol
  • THC damages the immune system. Alcohol does not

We can forgive them for the first statement. Maybe they didn’t do their research, or even just a quick Google search to find out that alcohol also contains a chemical known as Carbon Dioxide.

But, to state that THC damages the immune system, alcohol does not? That is dangerous misinformation. This is the type of thing that should be illegal and they should be held responsible. Again, a quick Google search will find plenty of resources that dispute this, including this government site that states that ‘drinking too much alcohol weakens the immune system.’

Budtenders Ball: Police crash ‘weed party’ but the celebration goes on

By 1 Comment

The DB3/Zoots sponsored Budtenders Ball happened last night at The Crocodile in Belltown. The private, industry only event, brought budtenders together from recreational marijuana stores throughout the city.

The show began at 8:30pm and lasted until 1:30am with musical performances by Pickwick and Fly Moon Royalty. Of course, we were looking forward to seeing Pickwick but wow, was Fly Moon Royalty great or what?!

In addition to the musical guests, a charity raffle was held and door prizes were handed out. Proceeds of the raffle went to Mary’s Place, which is a charity that empowers homeless women, children, and families.

We spoke to two of the founding brothers who were in attendance, Dan and Patrick Devlin. They both were beyond thrilled with the generous turnout and expressed their excitement for the existing industry and the future. Patrick expressed that this event was a ‘celebration on many levels.’

Cannabus Seattle

One unforeseen event occurred a couple of hours after the event started. The CannaBus, which was parked outside the entrance, was ordered to shut down or move to a different location for the duration of the evening. The bus was catering to attendees by providing a refuge to consume cannabis since consumption was not allowed at the event.

It appeared that someone may have complained about the smell of cannabis as a police officer was seen taking control of the situation. The officer acted very professionally and cordial. In fact, this may have been the tamest party crashing we have ever witnessed.

All in all, the Zoots sponsored event was a raving success. It’s events like this that remind us how lucky we are to be part of an industry where positive individuals come together from all walks of life.

A special thanks to Zoots/DB3 and the Devlin brothers for putting on such a wonderful event, Kyle Mallory of Koopman Ostbo, Pickwick and Fly Moon Royalty for their noteworthy performances, all the budtenders who showed up representing their stores and industry, and the Cannabus for rolling with the punches while progressing the industry.
