The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers Classic Comic Book

The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers is an underground comic about a fictional trio of stoner characters, created by the American artist Gilbert Shelton.

Born in Dallas in 1940. At university in Austin he became editor of the student magazine, The Texas Ranger. This was to prove Shelton’s last ‘real job’. For in 1967, after contributing to various underground comix with his earliest character, Wonder Wart-Hog, and designing posters for rock concerts, Shelton created The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. In 1969 he and some friends from Texas moved to San Francisco to set up Rip Off Press from where Freak Brothers strips were soon syndicated, borrowed (or stolen!) by a host of American underground newspapers and magazines. The first collection was published in 1971 and has since been joined by thirteen further Freak Brothers adventures. Fat Freddy’s Cat, the feline world’s number one cat, started out as a footnote strip to the Freak Brothers but has led an independent – and very successful – life since 1975.

The Freak Brothers are still going strong.They are published in 15 languages and worldwide sales are now over 40 million copies plus millions of items of merchandise, T-shirts, postcards, badges, posters and more. Shelton currently lives in Paris, France with his wife and three cats.

The works enjoy a sizable cannabis cult marijuana humor following and the magazines are widely available in comic stores.

Global Cannabis News - Cannabis Europa Paris France

Cannabis Europa is the foremost arena to share knowledge
and shape the future of medical cannabis in Europe.

"On the 8th of February 2019, the brightest and best from the medical cannabis industry will convene at the historic Maison de la Chimie in Paris for a one day event. With attitudes towards cannabis changing in France and movement towards regulation stirring, now is the time to visit the UK City of Light."

The Impact of Cannabis Europa in the UK

In May 2018, Cannabis Europa brought together, for the first time, industry-leading players and the most influential political and scientific actors in the UK. Just months later, the British government announced the establishment of a regulatory model for a market that is predicted to be worth €8.8 billion by 2028. Cannabis-based medicinal products will be available to patients for the first time on a large scale in the UK as of November 1, 2018. Projections for a similar French medical cannabis market in the same time frame amount to €8.9 billion.

Redding gives a green light to first cannabis cultivator

10/12/18

Redding California - "Location, location, location.

Minutes before ratifying its objection to a cannabis cultivation business opening next to the Good News Rescue Mission, the Redding Planning Commission on Tuesday unanimously approved a similar operation on Innsbruck Drive in a largely industrial area.

The Planning Commission made quick work of the Innsbruck proposal, approving Pinnacle Cultivator’s use permit after nobody spoke for or against the commercial marijuana business on the city's east side, north of Highway 44.

It was a stark contrast to the commission’s Aug. 28 meeting, when Aleck Commercial Cultivation’s proposal for South Market Street drew opposition from the Rescue Mission, a homeless shelter that also operates addiction recovery programs for men and women.

After hearing those concerns, the Planning Commission at that meeting blocked the project, a decision it ratified 5-2 on Tuesday. Commissioners Michele Goedert and Randy Memeo dissented.

Among the other reasons the Planning Commission denied Aleck Commercial Cultivation’s use permit is the location is in a high-crime area and it’s close to homes and apartments.

Aleck Cultivation has appealed to the Redding City Council.

Meanwhile, Pinnacle Cultivators scored the city’s first use permit for a marijuana commercial cultivation business.

Before endorsing it, Commissioner Goedert recommended removing a condition requiring a facility processing food or drink products containing cannabis be required to connect to kitchen drainage fixtures.

“We don’t want to give the appearance at all that it could be anything other than cultivation,” Goedert said.

The condition was removed and the project passed.

Pinnacle Cultivators owner Kole Heston has said he wants to open in six months to a year. Heston owns the 2915 Innsbruck Drive building.

He has been cultivating and selling cannabis to dispensaries locally and across California for 10 years. When California voters made recreational marijuana legal in 2016, Heston saw an opportunity to grow his business.

A 2007 Pioneer High School graduate (he also attended Foothill High), Heston has said he got into the cannabis business for its healing qualities.

Pinnacle Cultivators will have 10 to 15 employees to start. But Heston envisions five to 10 years from now expanding into distribution and retail and employing 50 to 100 people."

Redding man's 4/20 surprise: $47,500 in fines over alleged pot violations

5/5/18

"A Redding man is on the hook for almost $50,000 after city code enforcement officials said they found numerous violations at his home — including over 400 marijuana plants — on April 20, a de facto holiday in cannabis culture. 

Redding California Code Enforcement Supervisor Steve Willkomm said the pot at 30-year-old Benjamin Segan's Spaniel Court home was in the dining room, bedroom closet, an "entire bedroom" and the entire two-car garage. Residents who are allowed to grow can only have up to six plants.The house is some 333 feet from Boulder Creek Elementary School, Willkomm said. 

Some of the pot was still growing, while some of it was drying or already harvested in plastic and glass containers, Willkomm said.

Meanwhile, Willkomm said there were also illegal alterations at the house, including an inoperable garage door with hardware removed, a sealed side door, plastic sheeting on interior walls, air conditioning equipment that was "larger than the main house system," an extra electrical panel and wiring in the garage, and a Co2 burner with propane tanks. 

Willkomm said he fined Segan $47,500 for the zoning, building and pot violations at the home. He might also face criminal charges from law enforcement, Willkomm said. 

Segan couldn't be reached for comment.

Willkomm said it's important to remember that all marijuana grows in the city — even medicinal ones — have to be indoors, and the grower has to have a license to grow and possibly also building permits."
