MARIJUANA POLITICS Culture While working my first assignment for Marijuana Politics at the International Cannabis Business Conference, I was tasked with conducting a few interviews.One of the interviews I had the pleasure of conducting was with Karen Sprague and David Tanksely of the CO2 Company.The CO2 Company is a Southern Oregon extracts company making an exceptional product while never forgetting that the purpose of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program is to care for patients first and foremost.In addition to being major sponsors of the ICBC, they are also sponsoring the upcoming Oregon Medical Marijuana Business Conference (OMMBC) in Eugene March 15-16th.If you can make it to the OMMBC, you should certainly check out their booth and products.Pioneers in the field, the CO2 Company is revolutionizing the way patients receive care.Karen Sprague and her husband David Tanksely founded the company out of Rogue Valley, Oregon in July of last year.Working together with brothers Ryan and Kevin Walsh, they offer half gram CBD and THC cartridges of pure CO2 oil, along with CBD and THC drippers of the highest quality.

What makes their products different from others are their combined efforts to keep it affordable, accessible, and about the community.They are currently working with around thirteen local farmers, as well as growing themselves, and their low-income, in-need patients have never paid a dime.Moreover, their concern is not only about the product but the process.They do their best to keep it sun grown and clean.As a result, they produce some of the purest CO2 on the market, and keep their carbon foot print low.In addition to quality, they are helping conduct much-needed research.Working with some of the top scientists in the field, they are currently engineering a cannabis powder pill for patients.And for all of you who love their pens, they are also coming out with a new and similar product.This new product is an all-glass tank with a titanium cool, called the XL Green Light Vapor Pen.True to their claims, it offers an “optimal oil experience”, and can be directly plugged in for charging.

For fifty dollars, it could be yours.Check out the CO2 Company’s website, on Twitter, on Instagram or their booth at the OMMBC for more information.Home > Parts & Accessories > Grinders/Shredders > Four Piece Grinders > - Select Color Anodized Rasta / $109.99 Classic Polish / $94.99 - Back Order Anodized Smoke / $109.99 - Back Order Update price Estimate Shipping High capacity modelShreds, stores, sifts all in oneConsistent grind perfect for convection vaporizingNo need to touch the herbs!Super strong diamond shaped teeth do not chip, bend or break.Ultra strong Neodymium magnet closureMedical grade Acola brand aluminumMade in the U.S.A.nikko 598 vaporizr batteryassures you a quality product free of aluminum powder or machining lubricantsFrom the original makers of the legendary Space CaseMeasures approx: 3 1/2"W x 2 1/4"TThe only reason why you would want a grinder of this size is if you are crazy, highly motivated, or extremely prolific with your herbal endeavors.x20 vaporizer review

The device, used to heat up a substance to release their ingredients in a vapor form, is said to be a much healthier smoking option, as well as a more intimate and discreet way to smoke up.In the case of cannabis, a vape will allow a faster, easier way for THC consumption without the obvious reveal of what is in the said device.With no smell, there’s no problem.Now, if you’ve ever wondered what exactly spurred the sudden rise of the vaporizer industry, we’ve got the answer you’ve been searching for.Robert Kayvon, President of Operations for SOURCEvapes, told MERRY JANE all about the current state of vaping, how to succeed in the business, and where he sees things going in 2016.MERRY JANE: What drew you to starting SOURCEvapes?Robert Kayvon: SOURCEvapes started as a very small operation with huge goals, to simply build the best concentrate vaporizers and deliver the most value to our customers.MJ: Did you have a specific strategy in place to make sure you succeeded above other rival companies?

SOURCEvapes has created 3 different industry-wide changes: SOURCE orb v1 was the first Double Coil vaporizer pen, SOURCE orb v2 was the first Ceramic Donut with SOURCE terra, and our SOURCE orb 3 was the first quartz vape pen.All three have now been “adapted” by our competitors at lower quality and higher prices.Our constant drive to make new products and innovate separates us from every other “revolutionary” vaporizer pen.We recently released SOURCE orb XL, the first and only vaporizer pen to feature a 1 gram concentrate capacity, Grade 1 Titanium coils, and a Quartz Triple Coil atomizer.We’ve also teamed up with Flosstradamus, one of the biggest names in EDM and Trap, to release a special edition of our revolutionary SOURCE orb XL.MJ: What is the current state of the vaping business and why do you think it’s headed in that direction?RK: Many players and a few winners.Too many people making the same old designs and slapping a different label on it.It’s very easy for everyone to just make a new “revolutionary” product just on marketing and consumer ignorance.

True innovators are very few, so most vaporizer pens either survive on marketing, or the house of cards crumbles once the hype wears off.MJ: What would you recommend to people just starting out?RK: Pick a vaporizer that fits your needs and look at the product quality and build materials.Ask for actual reports on their build materials, don’t “save” money on something you’ll be breathing in and inhaling on a daily basis.MJ: Is there something you would deem the main reason as to why it’s becoming such a popular trend?RK: Vaporizing concentrates is much more convenient than traditional methods.For example, you can fill our Flosstradamus SOURCE orb XL with about half a gram of your favorite concentrate, dial down the temperature for smaller hits, and you can use that regularly for almost a week!MJ: What do you think the appeal is of choosing a vape over another tool to use (especially for marijuana)?RK: Same thing, it’s much easier to transport, enjoy, and use than traditional methods.
