Currently, I am one of The Three Amigos of Cannabis, teaming up with world famous authors Jorge Cervantes and Jeff Lowenfels. We give individual and/or panel presentations and workshops on cultivating Cannabis along with political insight and commentary on the rapidly evolving and changing political debate on the issue. Between the three of us we have over 150 years of gardening experience. We intertwine comedy and seriousness in our presentations for a very entertaining show. To book The Three Amigos of Cannabis for your group, expo, cup or conference, please contact me for rates and per diem details.In 1980, I started publishing a magazine about Cannabis cultivation, Sinsemilla Tips, on a shoestring. Even though I had no publishing background or experience, my new magazine took off immediately. It was published quarterly until 1990 when the government went after the grower supply shops advertising in it and advertising plummeted. We had an end of publishing Sinsemilla Tips party in 1990.For the next 20 years, I published Growing Edge Magazine, containing the latest high tech, controlled environment gardening and farming information, but never once mentioning marijuana or Cannabis, instead reporting on vegetable and legal growers, reaching a peak circulation of 40,000 worldwide. It was considered a journal of record for the hydroponic/aquaponics/greenhouse industry. In 2009 I ceased publishing Growing Edge becoming semi-retired.I have also published four books on hydroponics and one on Cannabis Cultivation. Using short-run digital printing technology, I only print as many books as I need thereby eliminating warehousing a large inventory. Some call it Print on Demand, I call it Short Run Independent Printing.My goal is to help others also be publishers. I am available for consulting and coaching individuals who want to be publishers.Specialties: Publishing magazines and books efficiently with a small staff and using the latest digital printing options.
