From fabulous budshots and cultivation advice to cutting-edge pot culture and journalism, Cannabis Culture aims to bring you nothing but the best when it comes to the honest truth and good entertainment.
THE HISTORY OF CANNABIS CULTURE MAGAZINE
Cannabis Culture magazine has seen rapid growth and change in its twelve-year history. The magazine was founded in the summer of 1994 as a newsletter edited and published by Marc Emery, who also founded Hemp BC and the Cannabis Cafe (now the BC Marijuana Party Bookstore and the New Amsterdam Cafe on the "Pot Block" in downtown Vancouver). The newsletter was called "Marijuana and Hemp" and Emery printed them totally on hemp paper.
Dana Larsen took over as editor in December 1994, and in January 1995 produced the first and only issue of Marijuana and Hemp Magazine. With the next issue the title was changed to Cannabis Canada, and the new magazine continued to be printed entirely on hemp, coming out four times a year.
Cannabis Canada was one of the first websites on the Internet, with an .. version of the magazine launched simultaneously with the print one in December 1994. The first issue is a good indication of how primitive the web was when we began!
In the early days of the magazine it was subsidized by publisher Emery's Hemp BC store operation. Yet Hemp BC suffered from repeated police raids, so hemp paper was discontinued after issue 13 we changed the name to Cannabis Culture to reflect our growing international coverage, and to acknowledge that 'cannabis culture' crosses all borders.
BOLDLY PUSHING FORWARD
Looking at the history, Cannabis Culture is still strong today. We still come out every two month and we print about 70,000 copies per issue. Publicity has been rapidly growing, thanks to associations with Showtime's TV hit series Weeds, Showcase's Trailer Park Boys, international superstar Sean Paul, and many others in the works.
Around the world the marijuana movement is blossoming into a unified cultural force. The legalization of hemp and medical marijuana are harbingers of the coming end of prohibition and the drug war. We are documenting a turning point in history, when cannabis will be returned to its place as a loyal friend and helper to humanity.
We hope that you'll join us in our pursuit of knowledge and justice, and enjoy being part of our magazine as we journey together towards freedom.
Peace and Pot,
Cannabis Culture Magazine

Keep Canadian Cannabis Activists in Canada!
Call the Justice Minister, demand he refuse extradition!
(613) 957-4222
Please, help save Canadian cannabis activists from extradition to the US and life in US prison for peaceful, non-violent activities in CANADA!
Call the Justice Minister of Canada and leave a message saying he should not committ Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, or Greg Williams to extradition to the USA, a country none of them have been to or committed crimes in!
Five Things You Can Do to Help Save the BC3 from Extradition to the USA
Marc Emery, Michelle Rainey, and Greg Williams (the BC3) are Canadian citizens who were heavily involved in anti-prohibition activism in Canada for more than ten years. The United States is attempting to extradite these Canadian cannabis activists to face 10 years to life in US federal prison. Here are five things that anyone can do to help prevent the BC3 from being extradited. Please don't just read this list and then do nothing. This is a crucial battle about national sovereignty, individual freedom, and ending the drug war – a battle we must win.
1) Contact the Canadian Justice Minister – Constantly!
Canada's Justice Minister is currently Robert Nicholson of the Conservative Party. It is largely his decision whether Canada will extradite the BC3. No matter where you are in the world, please contact the Justice Minister every week – we definitely need active vocal and written support from Canadians, Americans and the international community. The goal is to keep the phone line constantly tied up with calls and voice mails about the BC3, so that the Justice Department phones are ringing steadily about the case every day. Always be very polite when you call, and say that you are calling because it would "shock your conscience" for the BC3 to be extradited to the US for alleged crimes committed on Canadian soil. Say that you believe that if the BC3 have broken the law in Canada, they should be tried in Canada, under Canadian laws. If you have access to a fax machine then please also send a daily or weekly fax as well. Weekly phone calls, faxes, and especially handwritten letters that are polite and concisely composed are effective political pressure. When writing mail, ask for a response in writing from the Justice Minister himself.
The Honourable Robert Douglas Nicholson
Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
284 Wellington Street, Ottawa, Ontario
Canada K1A 0H8
tel: (613) 957-4222
fax: (613) 990-7255
2) Contact The Media
Please contact all of the following newspapers with a new letter every week. Don't write something long and full of details. Instead, send a short letter (under 200 words) that offers quick facts about the American efforts to extradite the BC3, why you oppose it, and why others should too. (Key point: Sovereignty!) Don't just send one mass email to all of these media at once, but email them individually. Write different letters about the same topic, and send them to the media every week. A more thorough list of Canadian media outlets is online: http://mapinc.org/cmap/press.htm
3) Contact your Member of Parliament and Member of Legislative Assembly
If you are in Canada, then contact both your MP and your MLA. Try to make an appointment for a personal visit. Also have every one of your friends and family members each make their own phone call as well. The more calls they receive the better. Just say that you are calling because you want your elected representative to oppose the extradition of any Canadian to a foreign country when their actions are not considered a serious crime in Canada. Remind them that Emery is the leader of a legitimate political party, that the Canadian government has knowingly collected taxes from his US seed sales for a decade, and that Emery has operated openly without interference from Canadian police since 1998. Tell your MP and MLA that Canada should not be sending political activists to jail in foreign countries, especially when their actions are not even considered to be an "arrestable offence" in Canada. You can find your MP online at www.parl.gc.ca and you can find your MLA at these websites:
Marc, Michelle and Greg are accumulating huge legal bills in order to fight the extradition, but were robbed of their livelihoods with the raid and closure of Emery Seeds. But they are still determined to help the movement by spreading awareness about the drug war through the political party, magazine and store! Please consider donating to or buying from the BC Marijuana Party (www.bcmarijuanaparty.com), Cannabis Culture Magazine (www.cannabisculture.com/newstore), or Marc Emery's Cannabis Culture Headquarters store (307 West Hastings Street, Vancouver BC, 604-682-1172).
5) Rally in your community
If you are in Canada, then try to put on a rally in your community to protest this incursion of the US Drug War into Canada. The focus of your rally should not be on the marijuana laws, but rather that Canadians within Canada are not subject to US law. The Canadian courts and people have decided that selling marijuana seeds is a trivial, non-arrestable offence. The Canadian government has steadily collected sizable taxes from Marc Emery's US seed sales for 10 years. If Emery has broken the law in Canada then he should be charged and tried here. If he has broken no laws in Canada then he should not be extradited to the US for a life sentence. If there is a US consulate office in your city that is a good place to rally at, otherwise use a park or other government building. Please contact us at the BC Marijuana Party and Cannabis Culture Magazine to let us know what you are up to.
