and drinks. Tickets are $15 in advance at independent record stores
throughout Sonoma County, or $20 at the door.

Also on the bill is Bear Bones Band playing folk, rock, and reggae
tunes. Additional performers include Doc Knapp and Jules Wood,
Bill Panzer, and dancer Christina Sukkal.
Two education rooms will have cannabis experts and gar-
den consultants available to answer questions. There will be ex-

ing, as well as books for sale and free literature.
Proceeds from the event support Sonoma Alliance for Medi-
cal Marijuana (SAMM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to edu-
cation, advocacy, research, and networking related to the medici-
nal uses of marijuana, and the implementation of the Compas-
sionate Use Act of 1996. SAMM was founded by after California
voters passed into law Proposition 215 in November of 1996. Doc
Knapp and Mary Pat Jacobs are SAMM’s Spokespersons. Over
the years they have met numerous times with the Sheriff’s De-
partment, District Attorney, Public Health Department, Sonoma
County Medical Association to develop guidelines for cultivating
and using medical cannabis. One of the more important services
SAMM provides is to advocate for legitimate patients who have
been arrested and find themselves in court. SAMM does not dis-
tribute medical marijuana.

For years, the sick and terminally ill have been arrested, jailed and imprisoned for taking the medication
of their choice. Even doctors, who have written recommendations for alternative medical herbs, have
suffered the same fate. As Lieutenant Governor, I will stop this travesty. As a caregiver for over 13
years, I will work to stop this practice to incarcerate the ill and the dying.
Medical cannabis was approved by the voters in 1996 and I promise to stop the federal government
from overstepping their powers to interfere in medical choice. I will seek complete access to medicinal
herbs which has relieved the suffering of thousands.

420 Jars are the finest medicine storage jars we have seen to date.
These jars are made in America with a high-quality, durable glass.
The lids have a plastic gasket seal to protect your medicine’s po-
tency. This tight seal creates an air-vacuum that you’ll hear “pop”
every time you open the jar. 420 Jars come in two styles. The Clas-
sic series is cylindrical much like a traditional apothecary jar while
the Vibe series flares gracefully to a broader base. Both styles are
extremely attractive and each style comes in three different sizes

With a selection of 22 designs, the jars fit every personality and lifestyle. These are the perfect storage jars for both dispensaries and

in the archives, it is 420 Jars that keep medicine fresh, potent, and ready to use. Reasonably priced from around $15 - $25, the jars more than
pay for themselves by keeping medicine fresh and at a consistent potency level. Go to www.420JARS.com or call 1-888-420-5277 for more

CANNA-BANANA BREAD
Canna Banana Bread is a product more than worthy of searching out
and trying. It is nothing less than wonderful. The home-baked quality
combined with a tasty, yet subtle, banana flavor makes this medicating
experience a cut above. Unlike many infused foods, Canna-Banana Bread
is not overly sweet, so the flavor simply augments the appealing bread-
like texture containing no nuts. One taste tells that the finest ingredients
and highest quality medication is used to create this excellent ingestible.
The dosage is so consistent that a 1/2 inch slice produced the same
level of medication that could easily be controlled according to need.
The loaf with proper refrigeration has a long shelf-life and serves 8-12
depending on serving size. Also, it is important to note that the bread is
reasonably priced. Generally, because of calorie and fat content, I shy
away from pastries, cookies and breads as a means of medicating. As a
note to those who have experienced weight gain from indulging in baked
MEDI-SCOPE
The Medi-Scope is a product no patient should be without. This handy, inexpensive instrument is a
magnifying glass designed especially for medication inspection. All medication needs to be clean
and free of mold, fungus, insects (dead or alive) and have no musty-smell. Patients need to inspect
before they ingest. Certain mold can be deadly if eaten. Properly dried medication poses no threat,
These days more dispensaries are providing magnification inspection for patients. But patients need to protect themselves by inspecting
every medication purchase. As with all things — it is buyer beware. Protect your medication dollars by being sure your medicine is all you
expect it to be. Check out www.420.Med.com or call 800-756-3305
