Vital Garden Supply Proves Organic Cannabis is Scalable

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:02 GMT

The team at Vital Garden Supply continues to prove cultivating organic cannabis is very much possible at scale. As mega gardens have become more prominent and significant in the wake of Prop 64’s passing seven years ago, people wanted more shortcuts to go with the scale of their operation. Many didn’t care much what was in it if it passed testing and made their lives easier. Much of the time because they weren’t smoking it themselves. Brian Malin from Vital Garden Supply is the exact opposite of that ethos. Since 2006, Vital Garden Supply has provided California gardeners of all kinds with the means to grow things organically. But, of course, the company holds a special place in the hearts of cannabis farmers, to the extent that when the state said it was time to create a mechanism to certify organic cannabis farming in California, they called Malin in to help write the rules for the OCal program.Pacific Reserve in Salinas.This week we got to visit Pacific Reserve’s farm in Salinas....

I think it is the most beautiful city in the world, and I’ve always loved its progressive politics. However, I’m worried.I never thought I’d agree with George Skelton, but I too believe it is time to do something about the terrible homeless situation. My husband and I have resolved not to return to the SOMA theaters after a recent visit required walking past people lying on the cold cement and defecating in the gutter. I know many others who are avoiding the city altogether. It feels as though the city has abandoned this large group of suffering humans.

I mean, if the collision is fierce enough, I guess it could happen in basketball too but damn, I ain’t see nothing yesterday that made me say concussion!”What even – what?“Was he running over the middle and got hit by Ronnie Lott or something?

Oakland: Charges dismissed in human trafficking case

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 07:45:02 GMT

OAKLAND — Alameda County prosecutors have dismissed human trafficking and pimping charges against a man, due to an apparent lack of cooperation from the alleged victim.Nile Steward, 32, was arrested last January on charges that he trafficked a teen girl and threatened her with a gun when she resisted. Steward’s preliminary hearing had been set for late February, and the alleged victim was ordered by a judge to appear with her attorney.But just two weeks later, in mid-March prosecutors moved to dismiss the charges, citing a “lack of complaining witness,” court records show. Steward was released from jail later that day.Though Steward wasn’t arrested until last January, the charges stemmed from allegations made by the victim that covered a time period in October 2021. The girl claimed she delayed reporting Steward to police because she was afraid of him, and waited until July 2022, when he was arrested and briefly held in an unrelated investigation.
