For over a decade, Abi Roach, owner and operator ofthe Hot Box Cafe, has been a big part of the cannabis-loving scene in Toronto. As the Hot Box celebrates tenyears, Spliff Magazine caught up with her to talk aboutthe past, present, and future of smoke in Canada andbeyond.

During the warm summer afternoons of the Toronto mid-90s, Abi spent her summers selling handmade jewelry atQueen and Soho, where fellow street vendors intro-duced her to real heady culture, teaching her how tomake hemp jewelry and about the many gifts thecannabis plant offers. This is how she met Robin, whoopened the Friendly Stranger in 1994 and helped inspireher teenaged dream to become a shopkeeper

Abi decided to make this dream happen in KensingtonMarket, a neighborhood she loved for its vibrancy anduniqueness. She moved to her first Kensington apart-ment just a week after her 18th birthday. A few yearslater, Roach-O-Rama was open for business at 66 1/2Nassau Street. It’s been part of the neighborhood eversince, and the community has come back with love tospare: “Opening my business in Kensington has beenamazing. It is the most supportive and wonderful com-munity I found have founded my business in.”

This business continued to grow organically through theyears. In the summer of 2003, Abi travelled to Vancou-ver to visit Blunt Brothers (now, sadly, burnt down), andthen on to Jamaica, where she discovered what she nowcalls her second home. During her trip Abi met fellowcannabis connoisseurs who enjoyed smoking openlyand without harassment even though it was technicallyillegal. When she returned, Abi opened the Hot Box Cafein back of Roach-O-Rama, creating a space for hassle-free enjoyment in Toronto. As luck would have it, the daybefore the Hot Box opened, an Ontario court rulingweakened marijuana prohibitions, which meant that fromthe very first the Hot Box was able to operate completelylegally.The Hot Box philosophy of “normalization” draws on howthe LGQBT movement has achieved strides towards so-cial reform: “By coming out of the “grow closet” Cana-dian society can see marijuana as a social norm ratherthan an illegal evil. When we come clean and say, “Yes,I enjoy smoking a spliff” to our friends and family, they

see that it is quite harmless, and though we are “pot-heads,” we still function in a normal and harmlessmanner. Thus dispelling years of prohibition myths!”As Abi points out, it's not until all levels of societychange their point of view that laws change, and so,making cannabis culture proud and visible is an im-portant part of breaking down the barriers that pop-ular misconceptions about marijuana help reinforce.

The “normalization” philosophy has achieved manygains in the push to end marijuana prohibition. Abiexplains, “Ten years ago, we technically couldn'teven tell a customer their bong was for weed, nowthey can come and openly smoke a joint over a cupof coffee. At present there are six independent vaporlounges in Toronto, and many cannabis-centeredhead shops. And we have seen the MarijuanaMarch, which we have supported since 2000, growfrom 500 to over 25,000.”

Over the last ten years, cannabis laws havechanged and become less restrictive, the majority of Canadian society now supports mari-juana law reform, and all sorts of political leaders have come out in support of the movement.Abi is proud of how the Hot Box has helped make this happen:

“I think the Hot Box had a lot to do with these changes. We have opened a door which can-not be closed. We have changed minds and lives. We have operated for a decade withoutmuch police interference and completely violence-free, which can't be said for the bar scenethat soaks our streets nightly with violence and needless crime. Hot Box has proven to pro-hibitionists and conservatives that cannabis is truly harmless to society. This was and is thegoal and mission behind the idea and we will continue for another decade!” The Hot Box Cafecontinues to grow and evolve. Right now Abi is working on bringing the Hot Box concept toJamaica, and looking forward to future partnerships in Vancouver.

The continued vitality of the Hot Box is nurtured by Abi’s personal philosophy: “In opening myown business, I was able to follow my own goals, dreams, and ambitions. Follow your dreamsand do what feels right for your life rather than what society tells you is right for your life. Youare the king and queen of your destiny.” Great words to mull over with a nice fat spliff.

TEN YEARS IN THE MAKING.

WHEREAS, despite almost a century of pro-hibition, millions of Canadians today regu-larly consume marijuana and othercannabis products;

WHEREAS the failed prohibition of mari-juana has exhausted countless billions ofdollars spent on ineffective or incompleteenforcement and has resulted in unneces-sarily dangerous and expensive congestionin our judicial system;

WHEREAS various marijuana decriminaliza-tion or legalization policy prescriptions havebeen recommended by the 1969-72 Com-mission of Enquiry into the Non-MedicalUse of Drugs, the 2002 Canadian SenateSpecial Committee on Illegal Drugs, and the2002 House of Commons Special Commit-tee on the Non-Medical Use of Drugs;

WHEREAS the legal status quo for the crim-inal regulation of marijuana continues to en-danger Canadians by generating significantresources for gang-related violent criminalactivity and weapons smuggling – a realitywhich could be very easily confronted bythe regulation and legitimization ofCanada’s marijuana industry;

Women are Powerful! We fight for what for what we believe in; our families, our planet, ourrights, and the rights of others. Our voices are heard. When we start to fight for what we be-lieve in, take notice! Because things are about to change.

When the Ladies of Temperance took to the streets in 1874 to fight for the prohibition of al-cohol, alcohol was prohibited. When Emily Murphy, a suffragette and outspoken opponent ofcannabis in Canada, began lobbying to prohibit cannabis, cannabis was prohibited. Con-versely, when Pauline Sabin and the Woman's Organization for National Prohibition Reformcame together and fought to end alcohol prohibition in 1929, alcohol prohibition ended.Women are Powerful.Today in the United States and Canada women are getting organized; we know that cannabisprohibition does not protect our children. Drug dealers don’t ask for I.D. Prohibition doesn’tprotect our families as otherwise law-abiding people are criminalized and punished for theirchoice of relaxation and medicine. One of the serious consequences of cannabis prohibitionis organized criminal activity, often accompanied by violence. Prohibition does not protect ourcommunities. The women who ended alcohol prohibition watched as infamous bootleggerslike Al Capone destroyed their safe communities and decided, collectively, that enough wasenough.Like these powerfully united women who successfully ended alcohol prohibition, we are goingto end this too. We know how to do it, but it’s going to take all of us; men and women, politi-cians and police, consumers and non-consumers, people who want to give to the next gen-eration what we have yet to see: a rational and sane cannabis policy in Canada.The answers to the questions of how to effect change are simple, because they’ve been donebefore and they worked. Women are incredibly powerful when aligned politically, and consti-tute a pivotal force when it comes to the issue of repeal. The key is collectivity. We, all of ustogether are going to vote, and we willvote for politicians who support end-ing the prohibition of cannabis. Theones who mean what they say andwill follow through with their promises.We are going to vote out the “drypoliticians”; the politicians who wantto throw kids in jail, the ones who arethreatening patients, the ones whoare implementing mandatory mini-mum sentences for people who growplants in the privacy of their homes.For the next two and half years untilthe next federal election we are onthis mission, and we at the NORMLWomen's Alliance want you to join us.Legalization will be an issue in thenext election. The change is coming,and we need your help to see it home.We want you to go to the website,www.normlwomen.ca, we want you tojoin us, support us, talk to us, tell uswho you are and where you are from.We have two years to get organized,and we can do it! We are Powerful!

Ah Vancouver. What can be said about aplace with so many contrasts? White,snowy mountain peaks along side greengrass and cherry blossoms.The richestneighborhood in Canada, West Vancouver- across from the poorest - East Vancou-ver. Old-school draft-dodging, system- sub-verting-anarchists live along side heavilycaffeinated, corporate, card-carrying-con-servatives. The Pot scene in Vancouver ismuch the same. Knowing the right peopleand the right places can make all the dif-ference between a heavenly-hempy holi-day or hellish tourist headaches.

Let’s start where it all began:The Pot Block - at the intersection of Cam-bie St. and W. Hastings St. - Marc Emerymust be given credit for cultivating this sec-tion of Vancouver to the eden of safety andfreedom for those cultured by Cannabis.Over the last 20 years this area hasevolved, shifted and grown, but the spirithas remained the same - with several potshops still firmly rooted. Surviving throughyears of city bureaucracy, raids and policeharassment. It’s constantly changing, restassured a year from now this article will nolonger be accurate.As of article being written - “Marc Emery’sCannabis Culture Headquarters” is stead-fast at 307 W. Hastings St. This is the storeto buy all kinds of Hemp products, fromhandbags to hand cream. The most stellarstoner glass pieces from torch workersnear and far. Prices for one-of-a-kind glasspieces range based on size and intricacy,so there’s something for everyone. CCHQalso houses the most extensive counter-culture and Cannabis-related literature col-lection for sale in all of Canada. For moredetails visit cannabisculture.com.Within the CCHQ there’s another littleshop, “The Urban Shaman.” Owned andoperated by Chris Bennet who is also theauthor of several renowned cannabis

The lounge isopen everyday, Monday - Thursday 10a tilmidnight and 10am to 1am Friday - Sunday.Tuesday nights are open Jam night - defi-nitely a good time to check it out. If there’sa waiting list, head over to “The New Ams-terdam Cafe” beside the CCHQ on WestHastings.The Amsterdam Cafe is alive and well de-spite several incarnations and owners overthe years. It’s also a bring-your-own-bud es-tablishment. It has just recently been reno-vated and it’s looking better than ever. Amore open feel, with vapour bar, and tasty,stoner friendly edibles. Lots of great glassand accessories are also available for pur-chase here.Lately, there have been many Medical Mar-ijuana dispensaries opening in the City ofVancouver. These facilities operate outsidethe law. Each dispensary has a different in-take process and membership application.Most require at least a proof of ailment formembership. It best to call ahead to seewhat is required..Further East at 872 East Hastings St. the“Vancouver Seed Bank” is open 11am to7pm everyday. Since 2006 they have of-fered hundreds of Cannabis strains sourcedfrom well- established breeders and stabi-lized genetics.

White Siberian seed originates from a combination of two genetic strains subjectedto a careful selection process throughout many years: on the one hand, a clone ofthe elite White Widow, very much appreciated thanks to its stability, heavy yield, re-sistance to cold temperatures in outdoor harvests and good results in indoor culti-vation. Besides having an impressive coat of resin and powerful Indicapsychoactivity, White Widow stands out due to its strong flavour : spicy and fruitywith a dash of bitterness

On January 24th 2013 Toronto drug squad officers executed a raid at a medicalcannabis dispensary that has been operational for more than seven years, servinghundreds of sick and chronically ill patients. The name of this dispensary is calledSection 56 Medical Cannabis Resource Center. If you are a member of Section 56and have been deprived of your medicine as a result of this raid conducted by theToronto Police, I am truly sorry for the situation you are now faced with. Over thepast few weeks, many people have expressed to me that this action has forcedthem to seek out cannabis in the black market resulting in numerous small rob-beries, unsatisfactory product distribution containing contaminants, which cancause allergic reactions and other ill health effects. Cannabis is the chosen medi-cine of our members at Section 56, many of whom have relied on us for the pastseveral years to assist with their individual symptoms which can be controlled or ef-fectively alleviated without the reliance on pharmaceutical drugs which can causeharmful side effects (Prozac and Paxil studies provide statistics showing potentialrisks of suicide and homicide; arthritis drugs commonly prescribed such as Perco-cet or Oxycotin/Oxyneo, show studies concerning long term liver and kidney dam-age). As Canadians, we have a right to choose our medicine and to receive healthcare that can truly heal or treat our sickness.

The federal government has officially recorded acknowledgement that medicalcannabis is the preferred method of healing and controlling symptoms by overtwenty five thousand people in this country; we know this because they have giventhat many people licenses to possess and/or grow medical cannabis thus far. TheMMAR (Medical Marihuana Access Regulations) is a federally controlled programwhich issues licenses for people to grow medical cannabis for themselves, or havea person designated as their grower, or lastly purchase Health Canada’s medicalcannabis which has been notoriously reported to be pre-ground, irradiated, andone study found traces of potentially harmful metals. Of course, not everyone hasthe resources or the time it requires to set up and cultivate a cannabis growing op-eration, however the Canadian government has been indifferent to this issue thusfar. Most ill individuals using medical cannabis access their medicine through med-ical cannabis dispensaries such as ours, Section 56.

It is conservatively estimated that over one million Canadians use medical cannabisto treat some form of illness. Various polls suggest that number is much higher.However due to an extreme difficulty faced by patients in obtaining medicalcannabis licenses, patients continually face legal harassment and are at risk oflegal charges, especially since Prime Minister Harper’s new minimum mandatorysentencing for all charges Cannabis related including possession for personal use.

Recently, two major obstacles patients encounter in obtaining MMAR licenses areeither a lack of Doctor participation or the harassment of Doctor’s who are pro-

gressive enough to participate in the MMAR program through various law enforce-ment agencies throughout Canada including the RCMP and OPP (see Dr. Kam-merman raid and Dr. Sinha raid). I urge everyone to write to your MP expressingdissatisfaction that your tax dollars are being spent to raid medical cannabis dis-pensaries, causing more money to be brought into the black market, increasingcrime rather than preventing it.

By conducting raids on Medical Cannabis dispensaries, the police are deprivingsick individuals of a reliable source for their medicine and a comfortable and friendlyenvironment where medical cannabis users are not judged and harassed but sup-ported and assisted. People forced to the black market are vulnerable to exploita-tion, potentially unsafe cannabis, and arrest (which leads to increases in the prisonpopulation for cannabis related matters). This is the ultimate effect of raiding med-ical cannabis dispensaries, over-capacitated jails, more money on the black mar-ket, harassment of sick people, and tax dollars wasted on an agenda, which anoverwhelmingly large percent of Canadians do NOT support.

The ganja plant that Avalanche calls the “tree of life” helped directhim down the way he continues to forge in Jamaica's music scene:“Herb is I sacred sacrament spirit plant... From I was five years oldI still remember the sweet ganja cake every Sunday morning withnice herb tea. So I grow up around the plant. I start smoking herbin high school with I rasta cousin mystic.” Smoke and music are thepath towards consciousness:

Avalanche's new album Truth, released in April, spreads this mes-sage by embracing many different feels, but stays true to the mis-sion of bringing reggae back to the conscious path.

“Conscious music is the music that's gotta take over the world.'Cause the message of love is what reggae music is all about.Nowadays they got lots of people singing music and I don't knowif they have a direction to the music... The slow music is where we'reheading back to. We want to get back there.”

By mixing new styles with his classic reggae sense, Avalanche isbringing rasta music back to the Jamaican club scene. And byembracing new ways of communicating, he is spreading his mes-sage beyond borders and across the world.

You can check out Avalanche's new tracks on Soundcloud andfollow him on Facebook or Twitter @avalancheja.

Consciousness Avalanche, also known at 'the Truth', is a

Jamaican artist creating music to spread thereggae message of love, respect, and blessed

love to the world.

“Sometimes we smoked calabash chalice withfriends, singing songs and giving thanks and

praises to Jah the Most High.”

Here are the basic steps to drying your weed:Remove all of the buds from the plant. Trim each branch and remove excess green leaf fromthe buds. Crisscross wires over your hooded lamp reflectors and hang the buds on the wires,or hang a screen horizontally over the lamp hoods and lay the buds on the screen.

Leave the weed to dry for a minimum of three to four days. In about seven days, the buds willbegin to taste better. In 10 days, they can be stored in a baggie, athough a glass jar is betterfor long-term storage. Purists say you should dry your plants with the leaves on and trim theplants only after they are dry. But that is messy and in my opinion not worth the effort; I havenever been able to taste any difference in drying plants this way if the buds were of goodquality to start with.

Curing Your BudsWhile you can smoke your bud with a basic drying method, to get the best out of your plant,you should also cure it. Cured buds taste smoother and milder than dried buds, and they arepreferred by cannabis aficionados.

To cure your weed follow the regular steps for drying your bud. Place buds in a baggie orsealed glass jar and leave them to sweat for one or two days. When you remove the buds,they will be damp again. Place them to dry over your grow room lights again for 24 hours. Re-turn buds to the plastic or glass container.

Check the buds after one or two days to see if they seem damp; repeat the process of sweat-ing and drying until they no longer feel or smell damp. When the bud branches snap ratherthan bend, the buds can be put away for any length of time in any kind of container, and theywon’t incur any rot or bad taste.

After a month or more in storage, the buds can be considered cured and will taste the bestthey can for months and even years to come. Cured cannabis loses its green color and be-comes the more familiar brown shades reminiscent of outdoor weed.
