Adelanto California the Next Big Cannabis Producer


Adelanto California the Next Big Cannabis Producer

The small desert city of Adelanto California, was founded by E.H. Richardson in 1915.  Richardson is known for inventing what would become the “Hotpoint Electric Iron”.  After selling his patent, he bought that land that would become Adelanto for $75,000, he divided the land into one acre lots that he planned to sell to the soldiers that fought in World War I, a dream that never materialized.  Fast forward 102 years, the area has been taken over by chicken ranches, orchards and what’s left over from the GeorgeAir Force Base that closed in the early 90’s.  In the more recent years Adelanto entered the solar power industry, which fizzled out in the present.  Leaving the city with an unemployment rate of 14 percent, significantly higher then the national average of 5 percent, this left Adelanto depending on the school district and their local prison system as their big employers of the region.  

About a year ago, Adelanto community leaders and soon to be elected city council member John “Bug” Woodard began to contemplate the idea of making their city in to a high-tech weed growing Mecca, just like their other High Desert counterparts.  During November of 2015, after months of debate, Adelanto became part of California’s first cities to allow the commercial cultivation of Cannabis.  Now, Adelanto went from watching the traffic drive by on the 395 to hordes of luxury cars pilling in, as stated by John “Bug” Woodard from an interview published by CNBC,  “Every day I have to pinch myself because we’re seeing Bentleys, Rolls-Royces coming to town, these cars weren’t coming here a year ago.  They wouldn’t even think about coming down this old crappy road over here.”

If California votes adult recreational cannabis use legal, CA, is looking a $4 billion cannabis market, almost double that of Colorado’s $2.5 billion marijuana market, according to the cannabis analytics done by New Frontier and ArcView Market Research. 

As Adelanto grows in popularity,  it gains celebrity attention from Bob Marley’s son, Ky-Mani Marley,  who has licensed his own strain to be grown in Adelanto.  As time goes on, and if recreational marijuana is legalized in the state, there are sure to be more star attention aimed toward this region of California due to its close proximity to Los Angeles.  This is just another great example of how legalizing cannabis will help the local and national economic crisis, again showing the American public how harmless marijuana is, compared to some of the substances like prescription pills and alcohol that actually kill people.

Smoke Cartel: A Heady Review

Smoke Cartel is a booming online head shop that is dominating the United States glass pipe industry. This Savannah, Georgia based start-up has a huge customer/fan base already. Smoke Cartel, offers high quality unique glass pipes that are American made, along with beautiful foreign made glass.  To go with their great products their shipping is free and discrete, and they don’t leave you waiting long for you water pipe to come in either.  As their website states “ We’re dedicated to good products. good service, and serving good people. “ 
 From the Smoke Cartel YouTube Channel they seem really laid back, positive and dedicated to serving their cliental.  Smoke Cartel has an awesome marketing team.  They produce demo videos for most if not all of their products, which plays a big part with me because I, like most people, prefer to see the water pipe I’m buying bubble up before I buy it.  Especially, with these new twister pipes, honeycomb diffusers, multiple cambered works of art.  
           
            Two weeks before I started writing this article I placed a small order with Smoke Cartel worth $70, and I had my roommate order a significantly larger order worth $300, with the same shipping just to see if they send out larger orders faster then smaller orders.  I have done this test on other online head shops and the pricier package almost always comes before the cheaper one.  This annoys the shit out of me! Especially, when you broke your favorite water pipe, realize you’re broke, can’t spend $300 on a heady glass piece and just want something to smoke out of. Cheaper places you find online take forever, sometimes more then a whole month.   Smoke Cartel is dedicated to quick and awesome customer service. I know this because both my roommate and I got our packages one week later on the same day.

Zen Master glass pipe cleaner is a very popular and easy to use product.  The Zen Master brand has been carrying some of the very best bong cleaning supplies for years.  Zen Master pipe cleaner is a non-toxic, non-acidic, alcohol and acetone free biodegradable glass water pipe cleaner.  Zen Master pipe cleaner is one of my personal favorites when it comes to bong cleaning leaves no residue, oil or grease behind.  So when you take your first milky rip out of your clean bong you wont taste or inhale any harmful traces of the glass pipe cleaner. I like that you can just soak the bong in the pipe cleaner and basically forget it.  Although, depending on how much resin build up, some pipes may take longer then others, the Zen Master pipe cleaner brand is on my top favorites list for sure.
