to whom it may concern,
I am interested in the Cannabis Movement going on in Amsterdam. I have recently started reading about FAC, ENCOD, and the cannabis movement in Europe. I am from Silicon Valley, CA, USA, 1 hour south of San Francisco, CA, USA, and home of the Prop 215 movement. I have been a California prop 215 patient(This is my prescription for medical cannabis) for six years and a Prop 215 Horticulturist for four years. I am writing you this because I want to help. I want to move to Amsterdam and help with the Cannabis movement. I think my skills would be put to better use where the laws are more respectful. Now I will explain how I can be an asset to your cannabis movement with what I have experienced out here in California.

Hello, I am Mr. Green, and love Cannabis. Cannabis helped me turn away from all synthetic over-the-counter drugs, and prescription drugs. It has become an aspirin for all my medical needs. I have not taken a synthetic drug in the past six years. I became a prop 215 patient, and two years later I started schooling to become a Prop 215 Medical Cannabis Horticulturist. I attended Oaksterdam University (The United States only Medical Cannabis University) in Oakland, CA, USA. I then moved to Shasta, in Northern California, to start a Prop 215 Collective Garden. I was in charge of Plants and day-to-day operations. I also have other outdoor experience in Clearlake, Humboldt, and Mendocino, California. Through my outdoor experience, I had hands on experience with watering and feeding. I learned about good and bad pests, organic growing, and pruning. Then I had hands on experience with indoor medicinal cannabis. I worked for Tri-Valley Wellness Collective/ Dispensary in San Jose, CA, USA. The rules in San Jose dictate that Collectives are required to have their own in-house garden to keep up with the demand of their patients. I was in charge of this task for Tri-Valley Wellness. From that I have gained experience and knowledge about hydroponics, deep-water culture, indoor soil pots, lighting, electrical, and the day-to-day operations to keep the garden healthy and organic. When the Green Room (where we serve our patients) was busy, I would assist patients in choosing a medication that would best suit their needs.

Being a California resident my whole life, I have experienced and seen the whole medical cannabis movement evolve into what it is today. I have a clear understanding of the collective/dispensary business structure. I know what it takes to supply patients with safe and organic medication. I also have a clear understanding of the medicinal benefits of cannabis. I think that I could bring some new ideas, techniques, and products that would be beneficial to Amsterdam. If needed, I am able to provide professional references from the owner of Tri-Valley Wellness, and also one from Harborside Health Center (the biggest medical cannabis dispensary in the world, over 90,000 current patients). You also have access to calling Oaksterdam University in Oakland for verification of my attendance.

I have an objective and that is to temporarily move to Amsterdam. Out here in California the laws are great, but it is the same cannabis strains everywhere. I am so tired of GDP/any purple, OG Kush/varieties of it, and Hazes. These are the favorites here in California. We don't have anything from Europe or Asia here. Well nothing to brag about. I hope you know what I mean. I want to try new strains, stuff I have never smoked. I am a connoisseur, who wants to expand his portfolio. I cant do that here! At night, I will go to Attitude Seed Bank website just wishing I could try what I see on the computer screen.  I am willing to do whatever it takes to get to my goal. Thank you for your time and I appreciate the responses.


Sincerely,
Mr. Green

MG-
That's an awesome resume of experience you have- I'd put it into one if you haven't already and take it with you to Amsterdam and do a lot of meeting and greeting. But don't take that sweet bike, it won't stay yours for long there.

Don't forget about other countries/breeders, like Spain, who are doing great/interesting things, esp. re: land race sativas and unusual indicas...

The part of CA where you live could prolly provide the climate to grow some of these outdoors?

If Amsterdam's a little out of reach now maybe you could do some consulting (e.g., helping dispenseries/nurseries get up and running). Teach grow classes? In Amsterdam?

And go ahead and order some exotica from the seed bank you mentioned.

Good luck!
