We are back from Madrid. It took a few days to take control again, but all the orders have been shipped out regularly. The fair was simply fantastic, the location was an indoor multifunction center with moveable roof. Now normally in october november it is cold and rainy in Madrid too, but this year the sky was blu and the temperature was 26 degrees during all the 3 days of fairs. The roof was opened, the smoke was flying high, the air was crystal clear. Spain gave us a warm welcome, we wanna thank all the persons that come to our stand in those days, our spanish hostesses Iara and Lucia, and then we wanna greet Gennaro and Sabrina, Ernesto and Adele, Thomas and Gary, Matt, Moises, Esteban and Matt, Jorge that maybe did found the hotel, our neighbors Malabares Ros, Priscilla, Jonkar, Jim, Miguel, Laura Daniel and many many others. And thanks to the organization, Elena, Belen, Carlos for the great fair and the support in the moments of need! Next fair for us will be the Spannabis in Barcelona, end of february 2010.
A few days ago we announced our participation to the Cannabis Tipo Forte, the italian cannabis fair on its 5th edition. Now we are sorry to announce that there won’t be any fair. It has been censored. Cancelled. Deleted. Destroyed. An italian member of government (the assistant of a minister) called the major of Faenza, the city chosen as last opportunity, and he immediately deny his authorization. So in the heart of Europe, year 2009, an episode of fascism of the worst level. From now on it is forbidden even to speak about cannabis in Italy. It is so sad!
We are happy to announce that next may 29-30-31 we will be in Faenza, Italy, for the 5 th edition of the Cannabis Tipo Forte fair. It is a great chance to meet our italian customers. Italy is one of the biggest european market and we are particularly happy that this fair exists and will exists, even after the political problems that lead the organizers to move the fair from Bologna to Faenza. However, Faenza is closer to Rimini, with all its attractions and nightlife so it can be a great choice. If you are in Italy and you like cannabis, you have to be there. Come to visit us at the stand 85, at the Fiera di Faenza, end of may, Cannabis Tipo Forte.

Our beloved, our adorable cannabis plant never stops to surprise us. An english italian study, just published, shows that cannabinoids kill even the most resistent staphylococcus. Every year, these staphylococcus kill more than 18.000 people in the hospitals of the whole world and they are resistent to the antibiotics. In particular, the study, started in 2005 and lasted 3 years, has shown how THC, CBD, CBG, CBC and CBN are incredibly efficient against EMERSA-15 and EMERSA-16, two of the most dangerous staphylococcus. This reaearch was a menage a trois between the Cra-Cin of Rovigo,that grew the plants, The University of Piemonte Orientale of Novara and the School of Pharmacy of London. It is extra ordinary that a plant can have so many beneficial uses. Staphylococcus today kill more than AIDS. Now we have an efficient weapon to stop it. Let’s hope that for once, they allow to use it.
If you are from Poland, you can find the feminized genetics of the Ministry of Cannabis on Sidbank.pl Our friend Jacob will be more than happy to help you to select the right strain for you. We wish to Jacob and his staff all the success that they deserve, and greetings to all our polish friends.
In a few days, next july 1st, the dutch law will be aligned to European Union regulation about tobacco. This mean end of the smoking in bars, clubs, restaurants and every other place opened to the public,even the traditional dutch “eetcafè” that are tipycal dutch bar when you can also eat a bread or a salad. Many people have written to us to ask what will it happen to the coffeshops, if the new ban will apply to coffeshops too. In short: no. In practical it will mean a drastical change of the habits of many people. The joint will be allowed, yes. But only pure. The purpose of the ban is to protect the workers from the conseguences of the passive tobacco smoke. And that’s it. Ab Klink, health minister, that mixing tobacco with soft drugs in coffee shops (where cannabis products can be bought over the counter) will not be permitted from July 1. Staff in these coffee shops have the same right as workers in other cafes to a tobacco-free working environment, said Klink.
The 4th edition of the fair Cannabis Tipo Forte will be held in Bologna, Italy, from tomorrow, 30 may, till next sunday, 1 june. The location is the same than the last 3 years, the Palanord, with almost 10.000 sq. mt. of space for the exibition. The calendar of events is particularly rich this year, with a seed cup, a video area and many debates, most of them about medical cannabis. While we won’t be present with a booth, we will be widely rapresented by our new italian distributor Semitalia, and by our resellers Campo di Canapa and Hemporium. By the booths of these companies will be possible to buy our seeds and ask detailed information about our genetics. For all the italian cannabis lovers, and for all those that are in Italy at this moment, this is event that you can’t miss.
