Cannabis Indica is not a species[edit]
Cannabis Indica is not a species but a subspecies of Cannabis sativa L. It is called: Cannabis sativa L. subspecies indica. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 15:07, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
Thank you, that is what I wanted to know. There's no controversy, I assume. (It should be at the top of the article, then, obviously). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Z Pres (talk • contribs) 02:03, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
In terms of a smokers experience, what is the difference between Indica and Sativa? I've read much about the differences in the plants themselves (shape of leaves, amount of buds, etc..). What is the difference in the "high" that is associated with the two types? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk • contribs) 17:56, February 26, 2006 (UTC)
After smoking Sativa strains, many people get a "stoned" feeling, possiblly accompanied by paranoia around other people, followed by hunger and drowsiness. Indica, however, is known for a happy, alert, clean-feeling high in which many people feel more social than with Sativa. People who don't like the effects of sativa, or get worn out by them, could try switching to Indica, or mixing it up for different occasions.188.8.131.52 23:17, 4 September 2006 (UTC)mar
I must disagree with the above comments. The vast majority of experianced smokers would claim the exact opposite with the Sativa strains giving the up high experiance and Indicas the stoned effect
Sativas are known for their head highs as well, while indicas produce more of a body high. Indica is more likely to be taken for pain or issues sleeping, and possibly towards the later evening hours. Why is a discussion needed on this is my question? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.8.131.52 (talk) 21:43, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
unmerge from genus article[edit]
The subject of this article should be a standalone article, as it is capable of meeting the general notability guideline as a notable plant species. riffic (talk) 14:30, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Image associated with Cannabis Indica appears to be incorrect[edit]
the image on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Cannabis_indica_Selkem.jpg page is an image of a SATIVA strain of Marijuana, not INDICA, as it states.
It is a long straight cola and Indica strains tend to be shorter, bushier, stubbier. The leaves in the image are long and thin and the example indica leaf on the page is correct in that it has short, fat leaves.
This is a major error for this page as it is probably viewed thousands of times a week- further confusing the debate over the difference between sativa and indica. Thanks,

What is a "Cannabis strain"? (too much assumed knowledge on the part of the reader)[edit]
"Cannabis strains with relatively high CBD:THC ratios are less likely to induce anxiety than vice versa"... when...? (e.g. when feeding it to your dog)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.127.116.11 (talk) 21:35, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
Does Cannabis indica contain more CBD than Cannabis sativa?[edit]
We are currently citing [1] to claim that Cannabis indica contains more CBD than Cannabis sativa. This is questionable even from that source which quotes Valerie Corral as stating: "Results from a drug detection laboratory indicated that C. sativa measured: THC 23.7%, CBD <0.1% and CBN <0.1%. Results indicated that C. indica strains measured THC 19.6%, CBD <0.2% and CBN <0.5%." —Sharavanabhava (talk) 06:07, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yes, you can view the data at the 2nd source placed in this section ("difference between..."). Click on the tab that says "High CBD". Once there, you will see many names of different Cannabis varieties (strains). Any name "Kush" is definitely an indica, "OG Kush" is one of the original strains of C. indica and it has a higher CBD-THC ratio than the sativas; this also applies to Hindu Kush. მაLiphradicusEpicusთე 18:53, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
- This is original research at best. And OG Kush isn't even a true Kush. —Sharavanabhava (talk) 07:23, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
Please see also [2]: "Industrial hemp has low THC levels compared to marijuana specifically cultivated for personal psychoactive use. Whereas marijuana that can be smoked usually contains between five and ten percent THC, industrial hemp contains about one-tenth of that. In order to get a psychoactive effect, one would need to smoke ten or twelve hemp cigarettes over a very short period of time. The reason for the low THC content in hemp is that most THC is formed in resin glands on the buds and flowers of the female cannabis plant. Industrial hemp is not cultivated to produce buds, and therefore lacks the primary component that forms the marijuana high. Furthermore, industrial hemp has higher concentrations of a chemical called Cannabidiol (CBD) that has a negative effect on THC and lessens its psychoactive effects when smoked in conjunction." —Sharavanabhava (talk) 07:30, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
- Just a thought: Originally, the conventional wisdom was that indica had more CBD relative to sativa (go back to my youth in the 70s-80s), but this was based on plants in the wild. Could this be true (ie: sources) but not true with indoor hybrids. From what I can see, virtually no pure sativas or indicas exist in the indoor arena, everything is a hybrid to one degree of another, even if just a few percent. Indoor growing has gotten so huge, if sources exist, it makes sense to differentiate between wild/purely outdoor grown strains and indoor/greenhouse grown. I don't know this, but my gut says there may be something to it. For instance, no traditional strain/outdoor grown sativa or indica has 23.7% THC, it just can't in that environment. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 11:56, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
I would like to ask interested editors to review this source: [3] American Journal of Botany, "A chemotaxonomic analysis of cannabinoid variation in Cannabis (Cannabaceae)", Karl W. Hillig and Paul G. Mahlberg, Am. J. Bot. June 2004 vol. 91 no. 6 966-975. —Sharavanabhava (talk) 23:53, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
- I've reviewed this source as well as [4] and they both show that THC:CBD is higher in C.indica than C.sativa, and that absolute levels of THC are indeed much higher in C.indica than in C.sativa. I have made the corresponding changes in the article. Ljgua124 (talk) 00:27, 30 May 2015 (UTC)
This page and the sativa page say different things while citing the same source
"Mean THC levels [...] were significantly higher in C. indica than C. sativa." - Source: http://www.amjbot.org/content/91/6/966.abstract

Requested move 22 March 2016[edit]
- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. Lack of clear agreement below, coupled with discussion at Talk:Cannabis#Monotypic genus or several species.3F suggests there is no clear consensus for this move at this time. (non-admin closure) — Amakuru (talk) 09:20, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
Cannabis indica → Cannabis sativa subsp. indica – I hereby propose following currently accepted classifications of this taxon and move this article to describe a subspecies of Cannabis sativa.
- See The Plant List, or search through WCSP, ITIS, EoL, or CoL. It is either considered a synonym of Cannabis sativa or a subspecies. Notice the Cannabis sativa article lists indica as a subspecies rather than a species.
- I also proposed moving Cannabis ruderalis → Cannabis sativa subsp. ruderalis. Alternatively, both could be merged into C. sativa, See http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/kew-2696479. MCEllis (talk) 14:51, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Generally doesn't Wikipedia use the trinomen format (such as Panthera leo persica), that is, without the "subsp." indicator? Abductive (reasoning) 18:02, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- For animals there is only one rank below species, so it's not explicitly indicated. For plants multiple infraspecific ranks are permitted so the rank is indicated. See trinomial nomenclature. Plantdrew (talk) 18:23, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Let's try to keep discussion at Talk:Cannabis#Monotypic genus or several species.3F I suspect some merging/restructuring of articles may be better than moving. We will need to build concensus.--MCEllis (talk) 19:54, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Isn't it literally the opposite?[edit]
"On average, Cannabis indica has higher levels of THC compared to CBD, whereas Cannabis sativa has lower levels of THC to CBD." B137 (talk) 07:47, 24 December 2017 (UTC)
- The paper by Hillig and Mahlberg that is cited in the article says that C. indica has a higher THC:CBD ratio than C. sativa. But it seems that people in the cannabis community are defining indica/sativa differently than people in the botanical community (see [5]) Plantdrew (talk) 00:20, 24 July 2018 (UTC)

This is extremely disappointing and frustrating. Most kids are delayed 2-3 weeks and some are delayed 4 weeks. I don't like being in the "some" category. Briley will have to wait another week.
We will definitely go back to Cooks next Thursday. If she meets counts, then shi will proceed with the treatment plan. If she doesn't meet counts, then she will have a bone marrow aspirate to determine if the leukemia has relapsed.
Her treatment has gone according to plan up to this point. Now it's one delay after another. I know most other kids are delayed in the consolidation phase and Briley was not, but this has really brought our spirits down.
Our faith will get us through. We will pray that she will meet counts next week. I really believe that the chemo has finally caught up with her and that it will take a little time to overcome it. We appreciate every one's concerns today and your continued prayers.

The Curiosity Rover — that people-mover sized robot roving around Mars right now — has reportedly just "found something", according to the boffins at NASA, and while the administration won't confirm what it is just yet, they think it's going to be "one for the history books". OH GOD WHAT IS IT?!
NPR reports that one of the Curiosity's on-board instruments has found something "really interesting". That instrument is specifically the chemical lab that analyses the composition of the Martian surface. Specifically:
The exciting results are coming from an instrument in the rover called SAM. "We're getting data from SAM as we sit here and speak, and the data looks really interesting," John Grotzinger, the principal investigator for the rover mission, says during my visit last week to his office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. That's where data from SAM first arrive on Earth. "The science team is busily chewing away on it as it comes down," says Grotzinger.
SAM is a kind of miniature chemistry lab. Put a sample of Martian soil or rock or even air inside SAM, and it will tell you what the sample is made of.
Grotzinger says they recently put a soil sample in SAM, and the analysis shows something earthshaking. "This data is gonna be one for the history books. It's looking really good," he says.
Whatever could it be? Confirmation that there was — or still is — water on the surface of Mars? Indications that a civilisation used to live there? Remnants of a cheeseburger? Proof that Kim Kardashian isn't actually from here?
Curiosity has already found evidence of a riverbed and some mystery metal particles its relatively short stint on Mars.
NASA and the scientists from the Jet Propulsion Lab are doing their sums really carefully on this one, so they can't tell us what it is until they're absolutely sure. When we do find out what it is, though, I hope it's amazing.
What do you think it is? [NPR]

Of all the traffic accidents that take place, Missouri garbage truck accidents are among the most dangerous. Garbage trucks are large, heavy, and difficult to maneuver. They have significant blind spots, travel through crowded pedestrian areas and stop and go frequently. All of these factors can contribute to their likelihood of causing a garbage truck accident in Missouri. What's more, Missouri garbage truck accidents can cause permanent injuries and even fatality. In short, Missouri garbage truck accidents pose a serious risk to drivers throughout the state.
While garbage truck accidents in Missouri occur in numerous situations, two of the most common are accidents that take place in residential or urban areas at slower speeds, and those that take place at high speeds on state highways and interstate freeways. Of course, garbage trucks must travel throughout cities to pick up trash on a daily basis. Navigating busy streets, they put pedestrians, bicyclists and children at risk. They are wide and heavy vehicles, and their blind spots can pose a significant risk. It is not uncommon for garbage truck accidents in Missouri to occur that involve a garbage truck backing into people or other vehicles. Side-swiping, rear-ending and head-on collisions are also types of garbage truck accidents in Missouri.
The risk posed by garbage trucks on faster roads is similar to that of any large truck. They are heavy, and can be difficult to maneuver or stop quickly. Garbage trucks that are driven aggressively, either too fast or in some other reckless manner, pose a risk of garbage truck accidents in Missouri, and can cause serious injury to passing motorists. Lack of maintenance to the truck's braking system and poor weather conditions can increase the chances of a Missouri garbage truck accident. Drivers that send text messages, talk on the phone, or are otherwise distracted have also caused garbage truck accidents in Missouri. Like other large trucks, garbage truck drivers are required to hold a valid commercial drivers' license. This proves that they've been trained in the safe operation of their vehicle. As a professional driver, they are held to a higher standard of safety and expertise than other non-commercial drivers. When a garbage truck is involved in an accident, the driver or company can be held responsible for acts of negligence that contributed to the situation.
When a garbage truck accident occurs in Missouri, the people who are most commonly injured are not the drivers of the large truck. Sometimes another garbage collector is injured if they are outside the truck when the accident takes place. More often than not, a non-commercial driver in a smaller vehicle, or a pedestrian or bicyclist is the person who is injured in Missouri garbage truck accidents. These vehicles are huge and heavy, and can cause serious and permanent injuries or death.
Our team of Missouri semi truck accident attorneys can support you and your family and take the lead in seeking justice in your case. Contact us for a free case review.
The Onder Law Firm's Missouri Truck Accident Lawyers handle garbage truck accident cases including head-on, rear-ended, jackknife, sideswipe, override, underride, rollover, multiple vehicle and other garbage truck accidents throughout the entire state. Our Missouri attorneys handling garbage truck accident cases understand the trucking industry, what causes truck accidents to happen and how to manage your Missouri truck accident lawsuit in the best possible way.

Dutch PM faces possible no-confidence vote over Greece bailout
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte is on Wednesday to face a grilling in parliament, and a possible no-confidence vote, for his cabinet's support for debt-ridden Greece's third international bailout.
Lawmakers in the 150-seat Lower House have been recalled from summer recess to attend the debate, due to start at 1000 GMT in The Hague.
The Dutch cabinet led by Rutte's liberal People's Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and its junior Labour (PVdA) partner has backed the latest emergency bailout of up to 86 billion euros ($96 billion), approved by eurozone finance ministers last Friday.
The cabinet — which includes Eurogroup chairman and Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, does not need parliament's approval to give the unprecedented loan the thumbs up, to which The Netherlands is expected to contribute almost 5.0 billion euros.
Rutte's own VVD party, which has previously said it would not support the bailout if it did not have the International Monetary Fund's backing, on Tuesday grudgingly agreed to back the package after a lengthy meeting behind closed doors.
The IMF, whose chief Christine Lagarde has called the plan "a very important step forward", has said it will wait until October to decide whether to participate.
"The fact remains that it's difficult for everybody," Rutte told the NOS national news broadcaster Tuesday during an informal cabinet meeting.
"In the end however it's not only in Greece's interest, but in Europe's interest for it to be carried through," Rutte said.
The liberal premier has come under fire for breaking a 2012 election promise in which he said no more money would go to Athens after two previous bailouts.
Far-right eurosceptic parliamentarian Geert Wilders, who has bitterly opposed financial aid to Greece, is to ask for a vote of no-confidence against Rutte's cabinet.
Observers said however that the motion was unlikely to pass, particularly now that Rutte's ruling VVD has given the plan its backing together with its Labour partner and progressive centrist opposition party D66.
The centrist Christian Democrats (CDA) are now the only party yet to take up a position on the bailout.
Five other opposition parties including Wilders' Freedom party and the powerful Socialist Party are expected to be against.
In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel is to call on the country's parliament Wednesday to approve the bailout, but could face a revolt from lawmakers within her own conservative ranks.

23 Feb City holds groundbreaking for Sobering Center
The city of Tulsa held a groundbreaking ceremony Thursday for its new Sobering Center.
The facility will be constructed in existing space at the 12&12 alcohol- and drug-addiction rehabilitation facility at 6333 E. Skelly Drive. It is scheduled to open May 1.
"The dream scenario for us was that 12&12 would be our partner," said Mayor G.T. Bynum.
Bryan Day, CEO of 12&12, told the audience of about 50 people that the organization's mission is to provide life-saving recovery tools for adults suffering with addiction or coexisting mental-health and substance-abuse disorders.
"It is a natural extension of our mission and our continuum of care," Day said.
The Sobering Center marks a change in approach for the city in how it handles individuals arrested for public intoxication. Those individuals are currently booked into the Tulsa Jail at a cost to the city of $69 a day.
In 2015, the city arrested approximately 3,000 people solely for public intoxication, each of whom stayed in the Tulsa Jail for an average of two days, according to Deputy Police Chief Jonathan Brooks.
That put the city's cost to house those inmates at approximately $400,000, with additional costs incurred by the jail and the court system. The city is paying $250,000 this year to operate the Sobering Center, and it now has the ability to provide counseling services to individuals who choose to accept them.
"This facility will allow us to do a better job (while) spending less," Bynum said.
Individuals taken to the center will be required to stay 10 hours. It is only for people arrested for public intoxication. Individuals facing other charges, including DUI, will be booked into the Tulsa Jail.
Individuals taken to the center will not be able to simply walk out of the facility after their stay, Brooks said. They must be picked up by a friend or family member. If no one is available to pick them up, the Sobering Center will provide a cab card.
The Hardesty Family Foundation donated $750,000 to construct the new facility.

This blog was originally titled "Indulge Yourself: Read what you want, watch what you want, and live a life that makes you happy" because that's what I write about here. But as author Natalie J. Damschroder, aka NJ Damschroder, who writes romantic adventure and YA adventure—heart-pounding fiction with kick-ass heroes and heroines who fall in love while they save the world (or at least one small part of it), it seemed prudent to bring this blog into my author world.

That NOSE!
As I've been watching TV this fall, I've had a very hard time with noses. I'm pretty sure there are more than these five, but these are the ones I can remember.
There seems to be an epidemic of possible nose jobs gone bad. I say "gone bad" in the sense that they have had too much stripped from the sides, creating a pinched, "ew-I-don't-want-to-smell-THAT" look. At rest, the upper lip is pulled upward, as well, creating a sneer I don't think is intentional.
These still photos don't do the phenomenon justice, but if you watch Heroes, The Nine, or Six Degrees, you can see what I mean, as the actors attempt to emote around their noses. They all appear whiny and/or fretful at all times, no matter what emotion is in their eyes.
None of these are bad actors, and they're considered some of the "beautiful people." And obviously, I don't know whether they've actually had nose jobs or not. But I betcha anything they've all got a diminished sense of smell.

Introduction: DIY Nunchakus (Ornamental)
I used The King Of Randoms idea with the chain and took it to the next level with nunchakus. These are not ment for fighting and with probably collapse after 5 fights, meaning they are more for a halloween costume. Anyways, I cut a wooden dowel in half, covered it in electrical tape, used a tip of a dart to penetrate a hole in it, and hammered in a little really strong metal wire thingy.Then I attached the chain to that, did the same on the other half of the dowel, and viola!
- The King Of Random YouTube
- What You Need:
- Tons of soda tabs
- Really strong metal wire thingy
- Electrical tape
- Wooden Dowel
- Saw
- Tip of dart
- Hammer/mallet
- Scissors
- Pliers
- Drill (Optional)
Teacher Notes
Teachers! Did you use this instructable in your classroom?
Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: Step 1: Collect Soda Tabs
It doesn't really matter much about there shape, as long as you can still cut them easily. I give credit to The King Of Random on YouTube for the chain part, and did the same as him. When you have about 75 tabs, Its time to start the chain
Step 2: Step 2: Make Chain
To make the chain you will need to cut slits in the thin end in each of your 75 soda tabs. Hook the thin onto the thick, bend back, 5 per each chain link. Keep going. On the ends of the chain you will want to have 3 instead of 5.
Step 3: Step 3: Cut Dowel in Half and Cover in Electrical Tape
Use a saw to try and cut as best in half as possible. When done, coat each side in the tape. This is one of the easier steps.
Step 4: Step 4: Hammer in the Dart Tip and Pull Out Then Hammer in Weird Metal Thing Bending It Into Shape
Your going to want a way to attach the chain, so either you can drill a hole, or like I did use a dart tip. Then put the metal thing in place using a mallet (hammers may be to strong), attach the chain, bend into shape with plirs, and repeat on other half.
Step 5: Congrats, Your Done!
Now that you are done you may hang this up in your room, and everyone will be saying, "Nice Nunchakus!".

The PV system will consist of solar panels/modules and solar inverter(s). The way the system is configured is important in calculating the expected output of the system.
An inverter is an electronic device which converts DC power to AC power, so that power generated from the PV system can be fed into the electricity grid. Solar panels are connected to inverters through strings.
A string consists of multiple solar panels connected in series in the same tilt and orientation. The tilt of a panel is the angle between the horizontal and the slope of the panel. The orientation of the panel is the direction the front of the solar panels is facing- i.e. 0 degrees for North facing and -90 degrees and 90 degrees for west and east facing respectively.
If modules of differing tilts and/or orientation are connected to the same inverter, they are divided into sub-arrays. A sub-array consists of a single or multiple string(s) of solar panels with the same tilt and orientation. There can be 1 or more sub-arrays connected to a single inverter depending on the inverter specifications and the PV system requirements.

M&A Growth Exposed SharePoint Data Gaps and Triggered Need for Better Location Management
An organization with a wide geographic footprint grows quickly through mergers and acquisitions. The current process to manage data access and flow such as new location IDs, function and people is to use Excel spreadsheets and store information on SharePoint. This process causes version control uncertainty and confusion internally resulting in misidentification of locations, rework and inefficiencies in information gathering.
Assign internal ownership of managing new site integrations and quickly identify new locations for global visibility. Real-time reports and analytics for company awareness, performance and site status.
Solution spotlight: TAPAdmin, myBI, myLoco, C3
TAP Digital Tools solved the spreadsheet and SharePoint data confusion by replacing spreadsheets and capturing entity information to create a multi-level hierarchy that is stored in a centralized database through TAP Admin. This centralized storage location can be managed with security and access controls. The newly acquired locations are assigned a unique location number, implementing process standardization to easily identify and refer to locations. This eliminates confusion from the manual way of naming based on address or physician name which proved inconsistent. Multiple suites or specialties at a single building can be assigned individual location numbers, making site geography easy to map and visualize. This is also critical for IT, vendor or other services that need accurate entity and location information at their fingertips.

figuring things out
Once I got my diagnosis–and pretty much everyone with MS agrees–I've thought about so many symptoms over the past few years that I attributed to something else… but I realize, now, that it was probably MS.
I had a few hip surgeries to fix an orthopedic issue between 2010-2011. It took a long time to rehab and regain my strength, despite the fact that I am a rehab exercise specialist. My first MS relapse materialized as left leg weakness, likely as a result of my cervical spine lesion around C6… it all fits together.
A few years ago, I started needing reading glasses now and then, even though I'm in my late 30's. I thought it was due to my strong nearsightedness… interestingly, I hardly ever have close vision issues anymore. But now and then, I do–and not so much of a blur as discontinuity between my eyes. Again… there you have it.
I always thought my increased dizziness was because I'd been having more migraines… and the increased numbness in my left arm started, unfortunately, right after I was rear-ended earlier this year (so, likely a combination of the two factors).
On the flip side of that, I find myself worrying about little things like I hadn't before–are the split-second dizzy spells a sign that my MS is worsening? What about the occasional blurry vision? I then remind myself that I've been having these symptoms for years, and only recently have they had a label. At least for now, things have returned back to normal after the abnormal spells, and so long as I treat my body well, it will do the same for me!

Which license class is right for you?
Health Canada introduced several new classes of cannabis cultivation licenses with the Cannabis Act. The nursery cultivation license is definitely a unique update. It carves out a specific niche in the market geared towards producers looking to craft interesting genetics, or simply sell seeds to other licensed parties. This represents a sizable opportunity considering the volume of licensees on the market looking to populate their facility with new starter genetics.
The nursery cultivation licence permits up to 50 square metres, or ~538 square feet, of plant canopy space. This is valid across indoor or outdoor grow areas. The small space presents a challenge, however our facility designers are on hand to assist. Our Master Grower's proven high-density grow method will form part of the cultivation planning process we undertake with you. We help simplify the complex!
Health Canada is looking to ensure there are clear distinctions between the nursery and broader cultivation licenses. As such, they've placed limits this license class: no more than 5kg of flowering heads may be harvested from plants (with the exception of seeds). These flowering heads, including leaves and branches, must also be destroyed within 30 days of harvesting. These nuances can be complex. Don't risk your license. We can assist with an appropriate cultivation plan.
Your Partner Master Grower, Shlomo Booklin
GrowerIQ's Master Grower, Shlomo Booklin, has worked as Head Grower for some of Canada's leading cannabis cultivation operations, such as Tilray and MedReleaf. Having managed the production of over 100 million plants, he has refined his growing techniques and trained others in the industry on how to produce safe for consumer, high-quality, cost-effective products. Unlike some other consulting firms, GrowerIQ brings you deep industry experience. Shlomo's 30+ years of commercial growing experience means that our experts will help craft your application submission taking into account what actually works in practice.
What should I expect during the nursery cultivation license application process?
Health Canada wants to ensure that you've thought out every aspect of your business, and included those plans in your application. This includes obvious areas like your physical security, cultivation, and production plans, but also extends to business organizational structure, key investors, and your facility's Standard Operating Procedures. Ensuring that your nursery cultivation application contains the requisite level of detail is one way to help the application process flow smoothly. The experts at GrowerIQ inform our planning process with actual comments received from Health Canada's review of previous applications.
A significant change to the application process occurred in May 2019. Now, Health Canada requires you to have a fully-built out facility before they will review your application.
Don't know where to begin? We can simplify the process.
The nursery cultivation license class has less stringent security requirements (for example video monitoring), and the smaller space requires less capital investment. There are however, restrictions on the sale of product.
Let's discuss your project in order to determine which of the license classes best supports you. Nothing is more frustrating than spending time and money pursuing a class of license, only to find that it doesn't meet your long-term needs.
Fill out the form to the right, or send us a message via chat and we'll be in touch within 24 hours to arrange a call. Find out more about our cannabis consulting services at the Seed for Success program overview.

Despite being continuously inhabited since at least 7,000 B.C. (and claiming its fair share of Cold War bunkers and Communist-era buildings) Sofia has become a modern destination. With excellent restaurants and shopping, plus an impressive number of public parks, Bealby likens it to Prague, Budapest, or Berlin—only quirkier and more affordable.
How much time you'll need: Two to four days
What to see and do: Sofia's wide boulevards, such as Oborishte Street and Vitosha Boulevard, are lined with cafes, art galleries, and fashionable shops—and they double as prime spots for people-watching. Most restaurants offer regional variations on classic Balkan dishes (think grilled-meat platters and oversized salads). Standouts include A:Part:Mental, set in an apartment with uniquely designed rooms and a menu of vegetarian and vegan offerings, and Rose, a light-flooded, pan-European lunchtime spot that transitions to a violet-hued cocktail bar by night.
Don't Miss the Best Places To Visit in Sofia
But Sofia's history is too fascinating to be ignored. Look no farther than the gold-covered domes of the Alexander Nevski Cathedral, the underground catacombs of Saint Sofia, and the ancient Roman complex of Serdica, which was restored in 2016. Now the fourth-century ruins are protected by a large, glass dome through which visitors can take in the bustling urban activity above—a perfect mix of age-old culture and modern-day buzz.
Where to stay: At the slick Sense Hotel Sofia, you can view the palatial National Assembly and the Alexander Nevski Cathedral through floor-to-ceiling brass shutters.

Teenagers are going through many formative changes in their physical bodies and in the way they see the world around them. Teens are especially vulnerable in terms of brain development at this age, and may be feeling the effects of peer pressure, increased curiosity around drug use or experimentation and higher levels of rebelliousness and risk-taking which can influence drug use.
Although substance abuse issues are a real concern for youth across Canada, the use of certain drugs amongst teens has gone down over the past ten years. This shows that the education can help with the prevention of teen substance abuse. For example, cigarette consumption has gone down dramatically over the past five decades, and this is related to a strong societal movement to educate not only youth but also the general public on the health concerns related to nicotine.
The more teens know about the risks of drugs including alcohol use, the better. However, to be most effective, the education needs to start in the elementary school years, and continue on through high school in a layered and consistent fashion. This way teens are able to make informed and better educated decisions as well as help influence their peers' decision making around risky behavior.
Obviously, the most important influence in a young person's life is often their parents, so modeling and parental involvement in the child's life and activities are critically important. If a child is regularly using drugs like marijuana and alcohol in their early teen years, they are significantly more at risk of developing a serious addiction problem. The longer one can delay the experimentation and use of drugs, the better likelihood a young person has of avoiding the pitfalls of addiction. Engaging youth in healthy activities, supporting their passions and interests, staying connected to them as responsible parents, and modeling the behavior we hope them to aspire to – while none a guarantee – are some of the best investments we can make for our younger generation.
There are some very real long-term effects on their health, up to and including death. Some of these issues include:
The most important influence teens have are their parents. Statistics show that if parents talk about drug and alcohol risks openly with their teens, they are less likely to develop an issue. Rather than ignoring the issue altogether, or thinking that talking about substances will somehow encourage teens to use them. Oftentimes parents are reluctant to talk to their adolescent youth about drugs, and this is where the Odd Squad Productions materials including presentations, films, and videos can assist.
Here are some ways in which parents can instill strong values in their teens:
Open communication ensures that your teen can come to you when they have questions about the use of substances, this ensures that the teen knows it is not a topic that is off limits. This allows an open conversation and the parents can let the teen know where they stand.
Debunking misconceptions is easy when a teen feels confident coming to their parents with the idea that everybody their age drinks and does drugs and this is ok. With the increasing toxicity of illicit drugs, the opportunities for serious health implications (including overdosing) proper information about substance use is more important than ever before. Parents must be aware of their kids' beliefs when they arise in order to dispel them.
Avoiding the glamorization or drug and alcohol use in the media may seem impossible with the amount of saturation in mainstream film and television. It is important to talk to teens about these messages and let them know that real life circumstances of substance use look a lot different.
Set a positive example by never drinking and driving and using substances, including prescription drugs, responsibly in the presence of teens.Read our recent article about "What the Fentanyl Crisis Really Means" now.

Patreon is a simple way for you to contribute to my goal of becoming a self-supporting author and illustrator and for you to receive great rewards in return! Find out more at www.Patreon.com/Yvonne
Here is some of what you can expect, from my Patreon page:
Here I am. Looking for patrons, how old-fashioned.
But what else is a grown woman to do when she has resigned her job (other than hawk her body, which admittedly is a teensy bit past its prime.)
Here I am, because I have found my passion. How lucky I am. Right?
Let's try that again:
Here I am, because I have found my passion, in my late thirties, around the same time that I popped out my last child. Still lucky, but not as convenient.
'Ooh, that is going to need stitches!'
'I want to write and illustrate children's books!'
Well, it went something like that.
Inconvenient, because my passion is not accounting, or engineering, or real estate.
My passion is in the arts, literary and visual and with a fetish for picture books. If I was in my twenties, sharing my house with some kooky housemates with no responsibilities other than to prove myself artistically, things may be different.
But, my kooky housemates are my three sons, my husband, our dog, our run-away cat and our 30 or so tadpoles. And we have bills to pay. And an artistic passion to follow. Dose of guilt anyone?
So here I am, trying to entice those quirky philanthropic billionaires to share some of their wealth so I can continue to follow my dream. If that doesn't work, I am happy to accept patronage from anyone who would like to support the arts. Unless you are a struggling student in the creative arts. Then you need your vitamins, go and buy a bag of apples instead.
So what can I entice you with?
How about I share my experiences as a struggling self-employed author/ illustrator. I'll try not to make it depressing and share my thoughts EXCLUSIVELY (imagine that word on a sign surrounded by flashing lights, ooh, and perhaps a touch of smoke machine for that magic touch) with my patrons.
Or, if you would just like to follow me, without the patronage, go ahead, I'll share some of my illustrations and general going-ons on a regular basis, but without the soul-searching-midlife-crises-esque-slap-stick thoughts. The boring version so to speak. With pretty pictures. So pretty good, really.
I've also thrown in some behind the scenes-looks and opportunities with special rewards and discounts. I'd love get an idea of what other rewards you are interested in, so please let me know.
That's it. That is all the enticing that I've got in me.
Want to ask me a question? I am sure you can do that somewhere on this page. And I'll answer.
After I pick the kids up from school.
I signed my first picture book contract with Random House Australia!
Meet Sidney Nolan is scheduled for publication in October, 2015. It will be part of the fabulous Meet ... series at Random House. Titles out this year are:
Meet Captain Cook (which was shortlisted for the CBCA Eve Pownall Award for Information Books)
Meet The ANZACs
Meet Nancy Bird Walton
Meet Douglas Mawson
Meet Ned Kelly
Meet Mary MacKillop
Look at those gorgeous covers! I love Random House Australia's choice of illustrators and am excited to find out who will be illustrating Meet Sidney Nolan.
If you'd like to know more about how I got my first contract, you can read more here in this interview with my good friend Sylvia Liu.
Once a Creepy Crocodile - review
'Once a Creepy Crocodile'
Written by Peter Taylor
Illustrated by Nina Rycroft and includes a sing-along CD by Rusty Berther
Published by The Five Mile Press
Release date 1st July 2014
Dear Know-It-Al- Nanny,
I have a two-year-old who insists on hearing the same story and the same song over and over again. He demands 'Cweepy Cwocodile' at every waking moment. What is a parent to do?!
Desperate Parent
Dear Desperate Parent,
Grin and bear it, read and sing along!
Know-It-Al- Nanny
Once a Creepy Crocodile is a fun story set in perfect rhyme and featuring a crazy cast of Australian animals and includes a sing-along CD.
What I love about Peter Taylor's Once a Creepy Crocodile is that it is full of scrumptious alliteration and internal and external rhyme and still tells a story. It slides off your tongue like butter melts over your hot pancakes.
The munchy, crunchy crispy ones that curl up underneath.
Then the snake licked his lips and looped a little lower 'till …
And then there are Nina Rycroft's illustrations which make this story sing even more. The gorgeous watercolour illustrations are fun, lively and just delicious!
I also like how the second song on the CD is the original version of 'Waltzing Matilda' exposing my children to a little bit of Australian history.
The suggested age for this book is upwards from 4 years old, but my easily excited, hard to focus, two-year-old is a big fan (as you may have guessed from the correspondence above). He usually loves any book involving diggers, trains or roaring dinosaurs, but this beautifully illustrated story with its cast of Australian animals hits the spot. He is also quite sensitive to lyrical language and beautiful rhyme, and Once a Creepy Crocodile, certainly delivers that.
I happened to be at the official book launch for Once a Creepy Crocodile in Sydney earlier this month. Imagine a room full of children's writers and illustrators singing along to Once a Creepy Crocodile to the tune of Waltzing Matilda followed by a chorus of laughing Kookaburra imitations. It was a laugh!
In addition to this I am very lucky to share a writer's group, Write Links, with Peter and was able to ask him some questions about his writing process and how this picture book story came about. Not only is he a wonderful writer, he is extremely generous with his time in sharing information with emerging writers and illustrators in our group.
To read the interview, please check out the Write Links website here.
You can buy Once A Creepy Crocodile from independent bookshop to major retailers.
If you are a children's writer or illustrator, Kidlit411.com is one of the best resources on the web and it is totally free!
Kidlit411.com was launched recently and I had the pleasure of interviewing the founder of the site, Elaine Kiely Kearns. Luckily she was able to snatch away a few precious minutes from her hectic schedule, because not only is she a children's writer, but she is also a teacher, married (to a fireman no less) with two beautiful daughters.
I 'met' Elaine last year through Julie Hedlund's 12x12 picture book writing challenge. When a call came up for people wanting to join an online critique group we both accepted the challenge. It has been amazing year of writing, creativity and friendship.
Here is the interview:
Who is Kidlit411 for?
KIDLIT411 is for everyone who is trying to write a children's book, whether they are just starting out on the journey or are already published. It is a place for everyone!
The site has topics from Challenges, Contests & Awards, to Diversity in Kidlit, Query Letters and Social Media. This is only a short list, you really need to have a look at yourself to get an idea of the scope of the site. The topics link you to the latest, quality and useful websites and resources.
How did you come up with the idea for Kidlit411?
KidLit411 came about from my need to pool resources from the internet. There are so many great sites out there and the kid lit community LOVES to share information! The amount of resources shared in Julie Hedlund's 12x12 was so fantastic that I couldn't keep up and needed a place to put it. So, I started making a list of the sites that I loved the most and would return to again and again to share with my online critique group. Then I started thinking that perhaps other friends would enjoy the information too , and eventually the idea just morphed into an entire online site.
Some of my critique partners, Teresa Robeson, Yvonne Mes, and Alayne Kay Christian also work on the KidLit411 site, Sarah Maynard updates the site regularly with the latest contest dates. Sylvia Liu is also my partner, keeping the site running, adding links, and overseeing the illustrations.
What are some of Kidlit411 features?
KL411 features a weekly ILLUSTRATORS SPOTLIGHT, where Sylvia Liu, interviews an illustrator about their craft and showcases their art and a weekly AUTHOR'S SPOTLIGHT where I interview an author and find out what helps them be successful in the industry.
We also send a WEEKLY 411 email (sign up here! http://www.kidlit411.com )where you get a condensed version of all of the new links and information that has been posted for that week. This is also the ONLY place where we include 'NEW AGENT information, so be sure to sign up!
How is Kidlit411 different from other websites for children's writers and illustrators?
KL411 is different because it is more of an online link library than a blog. We aren't talking about kid lit or the industry, but rather we are a hub, a gathering place for all the really great online information that we find.
We've weeded out the bad stuff, and only left you with the best. You can pretty much bet that if it's listed on our site, it's worth a look.
How can people get involved with Kidlit411?
We welcome suggestions for quality links that are relevant to children's writing and illustrating, you can email them to: email@example.com.
If you are interested in being featured in any of our main pages or would like to be featured in the Illustrator or Author Spotlights you can email the above address as well.
To the right is a screen shot taken from Kidlit411, I love how all the topics are grouped and displayed. Each topic features art from children's illustrators and are changed on a weekly basis to showcase as many illustrators as possible.
If you are an illustrator you can send your own art in for consideration.
Not only is Kidlit411 an amazing resources it also supports upcoming and established writers and illustrators.
What is next for Kidlit411?
We have so many awesome ideas for KIDLIT411! Time will bring more great things to the site, that's for sure. Stay tuned!
(As I write this, Elaine has just added a classified/ wanted topic where writers and illustrators can look for critique partners, illustrators etc.)
Who do you look for for inspiration?
That is a really hard question to answer, I try to surround myself with people who inspire me! I guess those that I admire the most are all of those who don't give up or give in, those who are kind and helpful, those who help, even when the "helping" is hard. True people with a good heart and soul. Oh, and anyone who makes me laugh. I love to laugh. (But not in a creepy unnatural way) :-)
And one final question:
Which children's writer, past and/or present do you admire?
I have way to many favorites to choose just one!
Elaine Kiely Kearns is a picture book writer from NY, a second grade elementary school teacher and a mother of two, who lives on coffee, chocolate and humor.
Mostly chocolate.
You can find out more about Elaine, by checking out her website.
I was talking to two of my friends during our recent playgroup about our children's favorite picture books and how it can be difficult to decide which ones to get.
I have read around 650 picture books since the start of the year (yep, 650, you can check my Goodreads profile here) and have been obsessed with reading and writing picture books for a while, so, they felt that maybe I could come up with some suggestions.
Instead of sending them an email I decided to turn it into a blog post for the greater good of humankind (aren't I grand). And now they will have to read my blog, maybe even leave a comment. Thanks, Jo and Chantelle.
They were even coerced into an awful, I mean, awesome photo during our last playgroup session.
So here is my:
Totally Subjective Best Picture Book Buying Guide Before Christmas
We also talked about which picture books we find appealing as opposed to our kids.
It is interesting, no matter how much I try to push some of my favourite stories my children's way, it just doesn't work.
Me: "Let's read 'Where the Wild Things Are"
Them: "Nope! Not that one!"
Not interested, ouch! It almost feels like a personal rebuke.
There are many reasons they do no like a particular book (yet) they may not be cognitively ready for a story like that, or it doesn't involve their favourite TV characters OR animal OR colour OR vehicle, and it may not appeal to their personality. Children can get really enamored by the same story for months, long after parents have tired of reading it.
So, my bedtime rule is, they can pick one or two stories each and so can I. That way they have discovered stories they wouldn't have picked out themselves but ended up really liking (or NOT), and they have satisfied their need for repetition and getting to know a favourite story intimately while discovering new things on subsequent readings.
A few notes to go with the list:
