Dear Friends,

AHW has stepped into the political circus…if we don’t get involved to protect your patient rights, who will? We are supporting Doug Linkhart for mayor of Denver; as a Councilman and former State Senator, he has a long track record of improving economic prosperity, enhancing sustainability, and investing in alternatives to incarceration.

Doug Linkhart is an advocate of MMJ patients and their rights he has worked to protect patient access to medical marijuana. Linkhart is sensitive to patient needs and fair treatment of businesses; he is also a long-standing proponent of legalizing marijuana.

Linkhart plans to utilize the city’s revenue from the MMJ Industry to improve our children’s education in order to allow them a chance to be successful. Support us in supporting Doug Linkhart and his vision for patients and children.

AHW would like to invite our patients to learn more about Doug Linkhart, his campaign, and his vision. It will only take 30,000 – 40,000 votes to elect Linkhart as the mayor of the city of Denver; with 100,000 – 120,000 patients in Colorado (15-20% in Denver), we should be able to elect Linkhart and start making positive changes. Stop by our center and sign up for more information on Doug Linkhart.

We now have additional FREE patient parking options at AHW!! There are two AHW 30 minute designated spaces behind the center (to the West), five 2 hour parking spaces to the North of our front door and we will continue to provide you with quarters for the parking meters so your parking is ALWAYS FREE during your visits @ AHW.

With Gratitude,
Your AHW Team.

Strain Review and Medicinal Qualities of

Moby Dick: Moby Dick is one of the most psychoactive plant that have been produced thus far, with a concentration of THC up to 21% and presence of THCV, a compound derived from equatorial sativa and that occurs in response to solar ultraviolet rays, which enhances the effect of THC to the point that with 2 or 3 puffs, and the effect is powerful. The low concentration of CBD aids to the effect that, in addition to cerebral and intense psychoactive effects, it is very durable; and produces physical and mental effects, and the overall experience is long and remarkable. Moby Dick is one of the strongest sativa strains. It is the result of crossing the 2 best clones of our Mother Plants, a sativa with an indica – Haze x White Widow. Moby Dick is one of the most psychoactive strains available, and it produces a great hunger and thirst. The sativa has a wood-pine-incense aroma, and the indica type has a sweeter scent.

Ask the Grower

Dear Grower,

How long do I have to wait to try my freshly harvested bud?

Signed,
Impatient

Dear Impatient, There are ways to dry bud for an early taste. You have to be careful or you could degrade the THC. Google it. The best bud is one that has been harvested and cured over time. Like a fine wine: “early bud can taste like mud.”

Astrology: Astrology is a set of systems, traditions, and beliefs founded on the notion that the relative positions of celestial bodies can explain or predict fate, personality, human affairs, and other earthly matters. The relevant bodies are the sun, moon, planets, and backdrop of visible constellations. The sun, although a star in the astronomical conception, is considered a planet in astrology, as is the moon. As a study, astrology is a combination of astronomy, meteorology, philosophy, numerology, geometry, psychology, symbolism, mysticism and divination. It is regarded by the scientific community as pseudoscience, for making predictive claims and connections which either cannot be falsified or which have consistently failed to be confirmed.

Desiree offers two types of readings: The Natal Chart and Year Long Forecast

The Natal Chart:This is a map of the Heavens at the time of your birth. It is a blueprint, if you will. A layout of the possibilities for your life. This chart covers everything from your personality to your relationships, your health, to your spirituality

The Practitioner: Desiree has studied and practiced Astrology for 16years. She was first introduced to the modality as a teenager by her mother, and instantly became engaged with the complexity and accuracy of the practice. She completed a four year mentorship with the Association of Young Astrologers. Astrology is a passion for Desiree, as she enjoys learning more about human nature, spirituality and the universe through the complicated art of Astrology.
