acapulco gold at eden therapy on santa monica blvd 25$ 1/8

acapulco gold at eden therapy on santa monica in hollywood, 25-1/8 and the bomb, any old timers happen to try from here? think it's legit?

EDIT:

(this is what i shot off to my pops in an email, he's an oldschool dude and has personally had real acapulco gold from back in the day)

color is a nice light brownish gold with a hint of green gold, trichomes appear to be goldish too on closer inspection and covering it, the smell is very very light, flowers are pretty airy but not sparse at all, i really hope there is a seed somewhere in here...

elks don't care about kids with autism! http://bit.ly/1QSMVJ anti marijuana legalization brochure was handed out at kids autism fund raiser!

EDIT: an acquaintance was out at an autism fundraiser, he saw this brochure being distributed to people there. these people seem to have no idea that marijuana is being used quite successfully with autistic people, it improves their quality of life greatly!

ask yourself, if your kid had autism, would you rather give the kid some man made pill, or cook some herb into a lil cookie and feed the kid natural medicine!

this really bummed me out to hear, if i get an okay from the acquaintance i am definitely going to re edit this post and post his story. for now here are a couple articles on how marijuana is helping those with autism:

EDIT 2: here is the quote:

On Saturday I went to the autism speaks walk for autism at angel stadium like i do every year.. anyways there was a sheriff hummer set of for kids to take pictures in which is cool with me a lotta kids enjoy that stuff, but on the back bumper there were there anti legalization pamphlets.. it really pissed me off we were there to raise funds for autism not push political agendas. maybe i am making a big deal out of nothing but its really bothering me. I have called and written emails both to autism speaks and the sheriff department.

portland oregon's marijuana cafe is hardly the first in the united states

los angeles had medical hash and marijuana bars/cafes several years ago, good job portland, oregon but you are not the first in the u.s.a.!

i used to to go to los angeles caregivers and patients group (la cpg) on hollywood and el centro, they had a nice hash/marijuana bar, coffee and snacks, bands would come play music, they'd do free yoga and art in the same spot...here's an old weedtracker.com thread mentioning it:

it was a great place to hang out and meet other like minded folks, then the dea stepped in on 07/25/2007, here is a weedtracker.com forum post about that bust:
