One of my favorite clients, OrganaLabs has just launched it's newest product, the O.pen Vape. In celebration, they'll be giving away their first 10,000 vape pens for free (with purchase of 2 cartridges). Click here for more information and make sure to checkout this new product as soon as you can! I've tried this product personally and must say that I'm a fan... not only is it a great product with top quality medication, but as a neat little bonus, the tip of the vaporizer actually works as a stylus for your iPad, iPhone or other devices.

Checkout images from the official world debut of the Dutch hemp artist, Dampie at the Hoodlab in Denver, Colorado. The event, "Celebrating 75 Years of Prohibition" took place October 12th and gave attendees a chance to be among the first in the world to view Dampie's newest pieces (shown below). As always, the Hoodlab put on an amazing party with more than enough talent on their walls to please any art enthusiast. Also new that evening, the Hoodlab unveiled tons of new work on their graffiti wall outside, which as you can see from the group shot in this slideshow, was quite a hit.

Who is Dampie? Dampie is the creator of many HoodLamb designs advocating Hemp and its many uses. He worked together with HoodLamb to create the signature Cannaflage pattern, also used by the Sea Shepherds’ on their campaigns saving marine wild life in the Arctic Oceans. The cannaflage pattern is symbolizing the cannarmy that promotes sustainability and evolution of culture. 

As a modern pre-historic man he leaves his mark on the cave walls of society in the form of sustainable fashion and paintings. Inspired by vintage advertising strategies used during the Prohibition he advocates the message that we need to evolve and change the stance on worlds most versatile plant called Hemp.

See images below from a recent Amendment 64 Benefit Concert with The Motet, presented by Terrapin Care Station at The Fox Theatre in Boulder, Colorado.

Feel free to post any of these images as your Facebook cover photo to show your support for Amendment 64.  Stay tuned to the Colorado Cannabis Blog for more info and see more of Kim's work at KimSidwell.com/mmj.
