Happy Girl Hydroponics will be closing doors on September 01 2005 and we will be relocating into another location on November 01 2005. This is due to my legal case which is due to be heard on October 03. 2005, I welcome all supporters to be at the trial where we will ask the court to follow the Hitzig ruling in Ontario which allowed multiple growers to band together to grow and supply cannabis to medical cannabis users in Toronto area. If the trial is successful Happy Girl will be reborn as a supply shop with cannabis information, cultivation and equipment for medical cannabis users only.

You can also show your support here

 

Sincerely Mark Stupak, Happy Girl Hydroponics and Toronto420.com

 

NOTE: Our shop will exist ON-LINE only and we still give advise, sell equipment and spread the cannabis information but I can not run the shop and defend myself in court at the same time.

 

"I heard some bad news - Puff Mama was arrested today. Her lawyer phoned. They found 1/2 pound of weed and cash on her. She's being held in an RCMP detachment in Killoway, ONT. Goodster is in contact with her lawyer, and will post the time and place of her bail hearing." Cannabis Culture Forum. Toronto420 tried to contact Puff Mama and was not able to.

Report from

Sativex Conference

Report from Sativex Conference - LIES, PROPAGANDA & GW PHARMACEUTICALS, "....After I pointed out to the few reporters that she was not JUST a private citizen, but the ex-Deputy Drug Czar, a representative of GW, and the failed Republican nominee for IL Senate, she told the press that rescheduling marijuana would not make it available to patients. I concurred. Then she asked me how I could say that Sativex was marijuana. I asked her if it was not marijuana, what was it? She rattled off her sound byte "If your grandmother was in pain would you give her opium?......"

Hi Happy Girl & Friends,

 

I'm calling in support for The Lotus ~ an organic and hemp culture shop in Newmarket who was recently raided by police and had their smoking tools and accessories seized with charges laid for their alleged violation of criminal code section 462.22.

 

Please refer to www.geocities.com/thelotusandfriends for info. regarding the raid as well as the store of The Lotus that has been established on Main St. in Newmarket since 2001 and a shop in town to purchase organic and environmental products and a place to receive information regarding consumerisms impact on our environment. What this situation comes down to is the fact that us hemp culture creatures need to support our own kind in the face of injustice.

 

I have written a letter to an "in government" representative as directed by The Lotus via their webpage. I am encouraging Happy Girl users to do the same. Any other comments would be appreciated.

Medical marijuana has legal setback in the US Supreme Court

[CCC] "...Melissa Anderson, a spokeswoman for the Immigration and Refugee Board, said she would not be surprised to see a cluster of new refugee claims from the United States stemming from Monday's court decision. Anderson said the ruling could also change refugee evidence proceedings because of what is called an "in-flight alternative." If there is a part of a country from which claimants are fleeing where they could escape persecution -- such as a state that allows the use of medical marijuana -- it weakens their refugee claim, Anderson said."

Toronto Marijuana March was a complete success.

It was a beautiful day and even cops were nice

Toronto Star wrote "Unsuspecting tourists walking through Queen's Park yesterday might have wondered if they had passed through a time machine and wound up at a U.S. college peace rally in the 1960s. Tie-dyed T-shirts, laid-back people with bongs and the heady scent of pot hung in a haze just north of where the provincial government sits...."

Moral panic over grow ops ignores fact that more of us puff than play hockey  By ALAN YOUNG

Recently I came across news articles from England and New Zealand about cannabis being alleged to cause psychosis. To me this seems just like any other reefer madness. The dark forces out there are trying to prove cannabis to be as dangerous as snorting crack, just like it was supposed to destroy my brain cells, slow down my growth, make me a heroine junky or kill people ...... all proven bullshit randomly created by bogus research "experts" to confuse the masses. Watch out for this crap to cross the Atlantic soon enough. Here is my stand on this issue.

This is an excerpt from email I received

 

"Please light a candle for the four RCMP Officers that were killed in the line of duty in Alberta last Thursday. As much as we shun authority and would like to see Marijuana prohibition stopped, these are not the results we want. And let us spread the word that just because this man was sick with hatred for the police, it doesn't mean we are. We must remind ourselves that we are fighting a law - not people paid to enforce them. And every time a cop does his job, we will not fight that officer - we will fight in in court, and use the power of red tape to overturn the law, one day at a time. Take a moment now, and imagine a world of peace, of security, of equal rights and freedom to govern our bodies as we see fit. And take a second moment to send out positive energy to all caught up in the drug war - on both sides - so the hatred and fighting will stop, and we can get on with our lives. Here's the url to the story if you didn't know about it "... http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2005/03/03/rcmpalert050303.html

"In a 1997 editorial, the New England Journal of Medicine—widely regarded as the most prestigious medical journal in the world—called the ban on medical use of marijuana “misguided, heavy-handed and inhumane.”

QUESTION TO EVERYONE: Would there be an interest in learning How To Grow in a class setting, i.e. school. There is a lot of people who ask me (Webmaster) questions about growing this wonderful plant, but a lot of people are like me, they learn by watching someone doing it rather than just reading about it.

My question is:

bullet

Would You pay for going to school and learning How to Grow?

bullet

How much would You pay?

bullet

Would You be paranoid (should we talk about "tomatoes" or Cannabis)?

bullet

How many people per class?

Anyone interested please send me an email or go here to send anonymous email.

The Government of Ontario is issuing a news release to its provincial workers to watch out for Grow-Ops. Our 'wonderful" government is actually sending teams of "speakers" to work places asking workers to spy on their neighbors.

Most provincial workers think this its bullshit since they essentially are being asked to play police....

In any case Watch Yourself Out There :-)...webmaster

The Infrared Problems in Ontario

News: Cops will scan for Infrared Heat Signatures produced by the Growing Process.

Response: The infrared camera can not really see the Heat Signature from a Hydro Light that is in the basement. If its on the top floor, cover all walls including the ceiling with Insulated Mylar which may be expensive but it hides the light signature nicely.

This is not the problem. What the cops are looking for is the exhaust fumes coming out of the house or windows. From the infrared point of view, the heat generated by a grow house is generally exhausted away from the house in a straight line. This looks like a 20 or 30 ft. high heat exhausting chimney. If you have a single 1000W or less, the fumes coming from your place are too small and will generally be taken as Dryer exhaust .... no worry there and I would do nothing ... If you have a exhaust cleaning more then 2000W you may have a problem. The FAN necessary to exhaust the heat is very powerful and on infrared sensors the heat signature looks very long and hot. Here is some solutions. 1. You can take your exhaust through the toilet vent. i.e. remove the toilet and exhaust the heat into the sewer system. This only applies to a house and not a condo or apartment and preferably a basement. 2. You can always use a carbon filter to clean the air and exhaust your hot but clean air into the upper portions of the house or into another room in case of a condo. This will nicely keep the house/apartment heated without the need to turn on the heaters. This works in the winter only.

news

Confirmed (see below news 05 Oct.04) but the news is not as good as I thought. The xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx on xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx St. (Downtown Toronto) which is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx just off xxxxxxx St. (Thank You Howdy Dooby) is the place to purchase over the counter (friend went in put $40 on the counter a was provided with decent quality green :-). They are however NOT doing this because they want legal w eed (at least not as a primary goal) but ...well.... for profit. Do NOT tell them Happy Girl sent you and before you put $40 on the counter buy some water so it looks like you are buying something other than w eed.

xxxxxxxxxxxxx - this info is censored because we do not want the place busted in case "friends" in the law enforcement "community" search for this info.

This is the latest yet to be confirmed news. There is a place (a bar? or a lounge) in Downtown Toronto that sells Cannabis over the counter. I know people who went in and did this but I have not gone myself. The place is called the xxxxxxxxxxxx   and is located on xxxxxxxxx between xxxxxxxx and xxxxx This would be the 2nd place in Canada after Vancouver. Am I Dreaming....please someone confirm this to be true :-) send me email

Marijuana Growth in British Columbia
Publication Date: June 2004
Publication Format: Public Policy Sources

Author(s):
Stephen T. Easton, Senior Fellow
Email: stevee@fraserinstitute.ca

Executive Summary: The cultivation and production of marijuana in British Columbia highlights the problems inherent in the enforcement of laws that are generally ignored by broad sectors of the populace. Some 7.5 percent of all Canadians report they use marijuana currently, and over their lifetimes, 23 percent report themselves as having used marijuana at least once.

This paper raises several issues that have the cumulative effect of suggesting that in the long term, the prohibition on marijuana cannot be sustained with the present technology of production and enforcement. To anyone with even a passing acquaintance with modern history, it is apparent that we are reliving the experience of alcohol prohibition of the early years of the last century.

In Canada, and more specifically British Columbia today, as with alcohol nearly a century ago, marijuana is too easily produced and exported to be controlled with the tools available to law enforcement in a free society. The return on investment is sufficiently great so that for each marijuana growing operation demolished, another takes its place.
