Marijuana is a hot topic right now because several states have voted to decriminalize recreational use. Washington State is currently enthralled in a battle over medical marijuana which is causing a lot of controversy (read more about that HERE).  

The 420 tour will visit both recreational and medical marijuana outlets, while subject matter experts Cat Jeter (Activist, Tacoma Hempfest Organizer, Host of radio show Green Stream) and Don Muridan (owner of Rainier on Pine and Rainier Downtown) will guide the tour and answer questions. We look forward to the onboard discussions about the issues and challenges both medical and recreational marijuana businesses are working through right now.


Material covered during the tour will include:
  • ·         what is legal, what is not legal, what is still in contention
  • ·         DUI laws for driving after using marijuana
  • ·         places where marijuana can be legally purchased
  • ·         the challenges that retail marijuana businesses face
  • ·         the two different types of marijuana (Indica & Setiva)
  • ·         different strains and the cute names
  • ·         the growing number of forms of marijuana products
  • ·         why people get the munchies
  • ·         what to do if you get too high  
  • ·         what medical conditions are being treated with marijuana
  • ·         medical marijuana that doesn’t give any high sensation
  • ·         when someone should get a doctor recommendation and how to do that
  • ·         what the challenges are that medical marijuana businesses face

What's in a name? Who are the Jossy's and where did they come from?

Image
I decided to research my Jossy Patriarchal line as far back as I could. I made it all the way back to the 1300s and along the way I learned some things. For one thing my last name has evolved over time. My father spelled his last name Jossy but a few generations back they spelled it Jossi. Go back a few more and it becomes von Jossa. This journey took me from Washington State to Oregon to Switzerland and eventually Germany. I also learned that the "von" represents nobility.  I also noticed that they repeated the same first names a lot. There were a lot of Peter's for example. Peter is a very old name. The people of ancient Greece used it and its said to mean "rock." Of course Peter was also one of the disciples of Jesus which is probably where most people know it from but Peter the disciple was nick-named that by Jesus. He was born with the name Simon and I found that name in my Patriarchal line too.  Simon is also an ancient name. It means " hearkening or

All that Jasz

While following my Patriarchal line, I noticed that my last name evolved over time - the last change I can't yet find but I found some hints. As I explained in my last blog seemed that around 1100 AD we may have been named after a river. Or the river may have been named after us. All I know is that we were both there with the name Jossa around that time. I can't trace the name beyond that point. They were obviously wealthy because they built castles and had "von" in front of the name which indicated Lordship.  I read also that German last names can mean their original occupation but it can also indicate the place where they are from. Several times while reading about the von Jossa's, they also called them "von Jasza" and this confused me.  I also learned that they used to name rivers after their Gods. Was the Jossa river named after an old Pagan God? Probably not. I see no evidence of this. Then I ran across a old map of Europe that had a place named Jas

Elon Musk isn't the only one interested in the underground

I've always been fascinated with tunnels. As a young girl I went spelunking on a school field trip through several caves in the Ozark Mountains. I couldn't tell you where exactly but I vividly remember one cave that we had to go down through a small opening down into a huge cavern where we camped inside for the night. It was as big as a football field. Another cave we had to wade through red clay almost knee deep. As an adult I visited Montana and we went into a small narrow cave just tall enough to walk upright and narrow enough to be able to touch both sides of the cave with my hands. Probably to the annoyance of my companions, I couldn't help but to sing as we walked because the sound was so amazing in there. Cave resonance I learned recently is a real thing and can be very powerful at healing and accessing our third eye spirituality. If you study religion at all, you know that many mystics and spiritual leaders received inspiration and messages from beyond while spendin
