Recreational marijuana use became legal across Canada last October, sparking a wave of new cannabis-based businesses. The hospitality industry took note, and now you can tour a giant weed factory or get high while helicoptering over coastal mountains in British Columbia.
1. Butiq Escapes, British Columbia
This luxury travel company will take you and your friends to a remote mountain wilderness via helicopter for a once-in-a-lifetime glamping experience. They’ll fly in a chef, DJ or yoga instructor—whatever you want—and supply a curated assortment of the best marijuana strains and cannabis-infused goodies from across Canada. Expect to drop at least 10 grand.
2. Canopy Growth Factory Tour, Smiths Falls, Ontario
Canopy Growth, the world’s biggest pot company, is headquartered in this small town, outside of Ottawa, in what was once a giant Hershey’s chocolate factory. According to its promotional materials, you can “enjoy a self-guided tour to see real grow rooms, learn about the fascinating history of cannabis and discover everything there is to know about our favorite little plant.” Sounds like a Willy Wonka–ish experience with weed instead of chocolate. Free.
3. Canadian Kush Tours, Toronto, Ontario
This is a one-stop marijuana tourism shop. Choose from joint-rolling classes ($25) to a stoned spa treatment ($250) to a six-hour vapor lounge tour by limo for you and five friends ($950). For business travellers, corporate event planning is also available: Consider a cannabis bar and edibles catering in a Moroccan-themed tent ($3,000) or hire Herbert “The Herb” Kushman, a guy dressed in a wacky pot leaf outfit (like some sort of parallel-universe sports mascot), to work the party ($133 an hour).
4. The Green Chef Marijuana Dinner Party, Toronto, Ontario
Serving marijuana edibles in restaurants remains in a legal grey zone, but until that gets sorted out, visitors to the Toronto area can hire this company to put on a cannabis-infused dinner party at their rental cottage. These guys will whip up everything from high Thai curry soup to standard pot brownies. They even have a technique to make marijuana cotton candy for parties.
5. Bud and Breakfast, across Canada
This website currently lists 24 stoner-friendly lodging options, from the Yukon to Newfoundland. Rates range from $45 a night for a room with a hemp bed in Hamilton, Ontario, to $1,150 a night for a six-bedroom heritage home in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, complete with a hot tub and basement arcade.

Here's a photo of our share from the Central Brooklyn CSA on Wednesday July 28. Beautiful green peppers for the first time this season. As well, we received two types of lettuce, leeks, oregano, corn, beets, red potatoes, carrots and zucchini. The fruit share (which I forgot to pick up!) consisted of plums, nectarines and peaches. And the terrific dozen eggs.
For you Central Brooklyn CSA members, did you know that there is a Planning Team which works on tasks involving the direction, and day-to-day running of the CSA? If not, we invite you to attend our next meeting on Thursday, August 5th. We'll be meeting at 7 PM at LaunchPad, a meeting space at 721 Franklin Ave (on the corner of Park Place). At this meeting we will be discussing the direction of the CSA, including newsletter design, event planning, volunteer coordination, farmer communication, and community building.
Getting involved with the Planning Team is a great way to fulfill your volunteer hours if you are unable to volunteer at distribution. If you have any feedback on your experience with the CSA, or if you would just like to be more involved, please consider attending! Any questions can be fielded to Maia at CentralBrooklynCSA@gmail.com, or to J.T. at jtcrockett@gmail.com.
There were no major events planned for today so I expected a nice, relaxing day, sipping on a Spritz or two, and just watching the world go by. I should know better by now! I was out wandering and stumbled on several groups shooting and the photographers graciously let me join them (note - these photographers are excellent and great to shadow). I was also able to shoot with some new masks. I am always impressed by the creativity of so many people. Wow. Not a bad day after all.

Manama. Wednesday, 6 November 2013: His Excellency the British Ambassador, Iain Lindsay OBE and Khalid Al Zayani, Chairman of the Bahrain British Business Forum, today hosted a media conference at the British Embassy in Manama to launch GREAT British Week. Under the Patronage of His Majesty, King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the GREAT British Week will run from 15th to 22nd January 2014. Hosted in conjunction with the third international Bahrain Air Show, the GREAT British Week is an important part of the build-up to mark the 200th anniversary of bilateral relations between the United Kingdom and Bahrain.
The GREAT British Week is designed to emphasise the friendship and strong bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and Bahrain, while exhibiting Britain's tradition of world-class engineering and technology skills. Events planned for the week will showcase the long-standing business links between the two countries with conferences and events being organised within the British and Bahraini communities.
Speaking at Wednesday’s announcement, HE British Ambassador Iain Lindsay said, "This is the first celebration of British business and innovation in Bahrain in a generation and we are very excited at the prospect of putting on and supporting a whole range of events that showcase the wide-ranging, longstanding and close relationship between our two countries. I can think of no better way of highlighting this relationship than by linking the "week" to the Bahrain Air Show. Now in its third year, the show has grown in stature and is attracting an international audience with a strong presence from UK companies, particularly those from the aerospace and technology industries. Leading industrial nations and global economies will be represented at the show and this will perfectly compliment and heighten interest in the GREAT British Week."
Commenting on the Bahrain Economic Development Board’s (EDB) sponsorship of the Advanced Engineering & Innovation Conference, taking place during GREAT British Week, HE Kamal bin Ahmed, Minister of Transportation and Acting Chief Executive of the EDB said: “We are delighted to be supporting this important event to further highlight the strong relations between our two countries, and the significant contribution made by UK companies in advancing key sectors such as engineering, automotive, aerospace and advanced technologies.
There are already many leading UK companies based in Bahrain, such as McLaren Automotive, Ernst & Young and Standard Chartered, taking advantage of the Kingdom’s skilled local workforce, competitive tax rates and tried and tested regulations. Bahrain is an ideal platform from which international businesses can access the $1.5 trillion Gulf market. We look forward to welcoming more British companies to Bahrain and are committed to doing what we can to help them to establish their regional operations in the Kingdom.”
Three anchor activities comprise the programme of events which is organised by the British Embassy, the BBBF and the British Council. The first of these is the “Knowledge” conference supported by Brunel and Ahlia Universities. The event, which is open to the general public, will highlight the strong and longstanding relationship between Bahraini and British Universities. The Knowledge event will promote the many areas of collaboration including scientific research & development, design, innovation and the growth of post-graduate courses.
The historical link to fast moving technology, especially in Formula One, is the backdrop to the week's second event, the “Advanced Engineering & Innovation” Conference being held at the Bahrain International Circuit, and staged on the final day of the Air Show. The event, sponsored by the EDB will see over 200 delegates and exhibitors participate with support coming from leading British companies such as Rolls Royce (Aero), BAE Systems and McLaren Automotive. Seminars featuring McLaren Automotive, McLaren Applied Technologies and Rolls Royce will encourage business-to-business and networking opportunities while exhibits from many leading technology companies will underpin the value of the event to the business community. McLaren Automotive will use the BIC event to demonstrate its recently launched ground-breaking supercar, the McLaren P1, and delegates will be given the chance to experience the Formula One track from the seat of the company's McLaren 12C.
Commenting on the importance of the week to the Bahrain and British business communities, BBBF Chairman Khalid Al Zayani said, "The relationship between Bahrain and Britain goes back many, many years and the strong business links between our two countries are what make the promotion of this week so important. Of particular significance is the chance to demonstrate the friendship and historical ties that have made the Kingdom of Bahrain such an important trading partner with Great Britain over the years. I am delighted to see so many events taking place and in particular the enthusiasm with which they are being organised. I would like to thank His Excellency the Ambassador and his team at the British Embassy, together with the many people who are involved in this event. The Ambassador’s vision in creating such a vibrant platform on which to promote such a special relationship should be highly commended".
The final event of the GREAT British Week will be a Celebration Dinner. The dinner will showcase other formidable British exports; notably fashion and cooking. Sponsors of this event include a range of great British high street brands operated by Alshaya Trading Co, including Debenhams, Mothercare, River Island, Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfrdige, Evans, Wallis, Coast, Oasis, Warehouse and The Body Shop. A high street fashion show will entertain dinner guests while they are treated to the traditional tastes of Britain.
The week will be brought to its conclusion with a trip through Britain’s celebrated music history with a montage of hit songs from the long list of British bands that have headed the charts around the world and across generations.
Many companies from across the Bahrain-British business community as well as international brands see the GREAT British Week as a robust platform on which to demonstrate the commercial importance of the UK and Bahrain as trading partners and Bahrain as a solid place to do business. The list of sponsors and partners includes the Bahrain Economic Development Board, McLaren Automotive, Rolls Royce (Aro) BAE Systems, Atkins, Euro Motors with all their iconic British brands – Rolls Royce, Mini, Jaguar and Land Rover, URS, Brunel and Ahlia Universities and Ordnance Survey.
In closing, the British Ambassador called on the broader community to become involved in the event. “British companies, their families and individuals have enjoyed a long relationship with the Kingdom and have, over the years, made a significant contribution to the global awareness of Bahrain, not only as a trading nation, but as a friendly and hospitable place to live. GREAT British Week is a fabulous platform on which the two countries can demonstrate their friendship, commercial and solid business activities. The GREAT British Week is not just about promoting business but is a genuine opportunity for the whole community to get involved in celebrating everything British. I am delighted that we are seeing so many British clubs, sporting associations, retailers and families becoming involved. I know of many events that are being organised throughout the period and I am sure this will be a tremendously successful event and one which people will benefit from and talk about for many years to come".

The holidays have been intense with RL and SL busy mode happening all at once! I hadn't even started my shopping for gifts until yesterday! LOL! OMG!
Some great events and partys on the SL grid way laid my efforts and focus this year. Oh, well... party on peeps...
Louis Volare was playing at Asagao Treasures yesterday. Thank you Montana Laurasia for the event planning and execution. Beautiful music at a beautiful site, and I loved the sky dancer giving the particle show above the stage. Louis is an incredible live musician who plays jazz piano. WOW!
I stopped off to say hello to the New Berlin friends at Electro Smog where Zap Hax was spinning. Can't help leaving everything when Zap sends a tp. His music just puts me in a nice place in my head... especially with all the stress of the holidays!
Promoter Tasty Hax and her team put together an awesome event over at SEAT Beach Club. I saw EVERYONE there including the members of The A List! Woot! Over 50 people were at that event and it was a great stress tester on the sim. Xavi & I, explored it a day ahead and found some nice psy builds.
Ahhh Digital Francis sent an invite over to his Mu sim at the DC-10 club. Love Digi! So we jetted over asap to catch DJ Andy Seiling do his proggy thing... he is a smooth dj that I really enjoy hearing. Lots of peeps were there along with several dj's: Moshi Kamachi (love love this guy), Ionic Benton, Aurora Fairey, Ryz Uriza, Tasty Hax and clubber Lolla Honi. We had a blast! TY Digi!
We promised ourselves that we would only stay at DeRailed for 30 min when DJ Daemonchadeaux sent the tp, but we ended up staying for the entire DJ Blabbermouth set. If you were there, you would know why. Xavi was in heaven! I did some shopping there too, so I did not waste any time! LOL!
Xavi logged out for a dinner break which left me to take care of building business. Yeah, right. DJ Space Greilling sent a tp and the temptation was too great! So, off I went to alt7 alternative club to listen to my favorite alternative dj! Space can keep me in a place indefinitely! I love his contemporary alternative tunes and he always gives us a little musical lesson to go along with it.
I'm off for more! Second Life has so much to do, it is impossible to see and do it all... but, I'm trying! LOL! hehe

Among the events planned during the 58th MOROP Congress, FGC participated with the circulation of an heritage train, on Thursday, September 8, 2011, from Sant Vicenç de Castellet to Monistrol de Montserrat in the morning, and from Monistrol de Montserrato to Martorell in the afternoon. Since at that time none of the historic locomotives were in running state (not the steam locomotive Monistrol 209, nor the electric locomotive 304), the train was towed by a existing diesel Alsthom locomotive. With so many fatalities, FGC at least had the dignity of repainting this locomotive in the original colors of ancient CGFC, which the locomotive acquired a historical aspect.
Here we see the locomotive, the number 1003 (Alsthom 1956, labeled "MO" since it was originally allocated to the Manresa-Olvan railway), heading the heritage train during his journey as empty stock between Martorell Enllaç and Sant Vicenç de Castellet, stopped at the block signal that protects access to the single track.

Dado que en aquel momento ninguna de las locomotoras históricas estaban en estado de marcha (ni la locomotora de vapor Monistrol 209, ni la locomotora eléctrica 304), el tren lo remolcó una de las locomotoras diésel Alsthom existentes. Ante tantas fatalidades, FGC al menos tuvo la dignidad de repintar una de estas locomotoras en los colores originales de la antigua CGFC, con lo que la locomotora adquirió un aspecto histórico.

Hosted in conjunction with the third international Bahrain Air Show, the GREAT British Week is an important part of the build-up to mark the 200th anniversary of bilateral relations between the United Kingdom and Bahrain.
The GREAT British Week is designed to emphasise the friendship and strong bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and Bahrain, while exhibiting Britain's tradition of world-class engineering and technology skills. Events planned for the week will showcase the long-standing business links between the two countries with conferences and events being organised within the British and Bahraini communities.
Speaking at Wednesday’s announcement, HE British Ambassador Iain Lindsay said, "This is the first celebration of British business and innovation in Bahrain in a generation and we are very excited at the prospect of putting on and supporting a whole range of events that showcase the wide-ranging, longstanding and close relationship between our two countries. I can think of no better way of highlighting this relationship than by linking the "week" to the Bahrain Air Show. Now in its third year, the show has grown in stature and is attracting an international audience with a strong presence from UK companies, particularly those from the aerospace and technology industries. Leading industrial nations and global economies will be represented at the show and this will perfectly compliment and heighten interest in the GREAT British Week."
Commenting on the Bahrain Economic Development Board’s (EDB) sponsorship of the Advanced Engineering & Innovation Conference, taking place during GREAT British Week, HE Kamal bin Ahmed, Minister of Transportation and Acting Chief Executive of the EDB said: “We are delighted to be supporting this important event to further highlight the strong relations between our two countries, and the significant contribution made by UK companies in advancing key sectors such as engineering, automotive, aerospace and advanced technologies.
There are already many leading UK companies based in Bahrain, such as McLaren Automotive, Ernst & Young and Standard Chartered, taking advantage of the Kingdom’s skilled local workforce, competitive tax rates and tried and tested regulations. Bahrain is an ideal platform from which international businesses can access the $1.5 trillion Gulf market. We look forward to welcoming more British companies to Bahrain and are committed to doing what we can to help them to establish their regional operations in the Kingdom.”
Three anchor activities comprise the programme of events which is organised by the British Embassy, the BBBF and the British Council. The first of these is the “Knowledge” conference supported by Brunel and Ahlia Universities. The event, which is open to the general public, will highlight the strong and longstanding relationship between Bahraini and British Universities. The Knowledge event will promote the many areas of collaboration including scientific research & development, design, innovation and the growth of post-graduate courses.
The historical link to fast moving technology, especially in Formula One, is the backdrop to the week's second event, the “Advanced Engineering & Innovation” Conference being held at the Bahrain International Circuit, and staged on the final day of the Air Show. The event, sponsored by the EDB will see over 200 delegates and exhibitors participate with support coming from leading British companies such as Rolls Royce (Aero), BAE Systems and McLaren Automotive. Seminars featuring McLaren Automotive, McLaren Applied Technologies and Rolls Royce will encourage business-to-business and networking opportunities while exhibits from many leading technology companies will underpin the value of the event to the business community. McLaren Automotive will use the BIC event to demonstrate its recently launched ground-breaking supercar, the McLaren P1, and delegates will be given the chance to experience the Formula One track from the seat of the company's McLaren 12C.
Commenting on the importance of the week to the Bahrain and British business communities, BBBF Chairman Khalid Al Zayani said, "The relationship between Bahrain and Britain goes back many, many years and the strong business links between our two countries are what make the promotion of this week so important. Of particular significance is the chance to demonstrate the friendship and historical ties that have made the Kingdom of Bahrain such an important trading partner with Great Britain over the years. I am delighted to see so many events taking place and in particular the enthusiasm with which they are being organised. I would like to thank His Excellency the Ambassador and his team at the British Embassy, together with the many people who are involved in this event. The Ambassador’s vision in creating such a vibrant platform on which to promote such a special relationship should be highly commended".
The final event of the GREAT British Week will be a Celebration Dinner. The dinner will showcase other formidable British exports; notably fashion and cooking. Sponsors of this event include a range of great British high street brands operated by Alshaya Trading Co, including Debenhams, Mothercare, River Island, Topshop, Dorothy Perkins, Miss Selfrdige, Evans, Wallis, Coast, Oasis, Warehouse and The Body Shop. A high street fashion show will entertain dinner guests while they are treated to the traditional tastes of Britain.
The week will be brought to its conclusion with a trip through Britain’s celebrated music history with a montage of hit songs from the long list of British bands that have headed the charts around the world and across generations.
Many companies from across the Bahrain-British business community as well as international brands see the GREAT British Week as a robust platform on which to demonstrate the commercial importance of the UK and Bahrain as trading partners and Bahrain as a solid place to do business. The list of sponsors and partners includes the Bahrain Economic Development Board, McLaren Automotive, Rolls Royce (Aro) BAE Systems, Atkins, Euro Motors with all their iconic British brands – Rolls Royce, Mini, Jaguar and Land Rover, URS, Brunel and Ahlia Universities and Ordnance Survey.
In closing, the British Ambassador called on the broader community to become involved in the event. “British companies, their families and individuals have enjoyed a long relationship with the Kingdom and have, over the years, made a significant contribution to the global awareness of Bahrain, not only as a trading nation, but as a friendly and hospitable place to live. GREAT British Week is a fabulous platform on which the two countries can demonstrate their friendship, commercial and solid business activities. The GREAT British Week is not just about promoting business but is a genuine opportunity for the whole community to get involved in celebrating everything British. I am delighted that we are seeing so many British clubs, sporting associations, retailers and families becoming involved. I know of many events that are being organised throughout the period and I am sure this will be a tremendously successful event and one which people will benefit from and talk about for many years to come".
