Masters of Rosin LA
Los Angeles was extra lit last month when Masters of Rosin made its West Coast debut after a buzzworthy kickoff in New York City earlier this year. I went to explore the left-coast iteration of this celebrated competition and came back impressed by the quality of the entrants and the event’s overall ex*****on.

THE EDIBLES ISSUE! '24
☃️🦌🎄
Our inspired cover this month comes from Gail Armstrong, a multiple award-winning paper sculpture illustrator, trained at Glasgow School of Art and based in London. “Colour was key in lending this wintery snow scene a warm and cosy feel,” writes Armstrong. “By using the LEAF logo as the Cannabis cafe signage, the viewpoint for the scene followed naturally. The winter-character companions sit front and centre, and a sense of depth is achieved through the hints at a cafe interior through the window behind them.

Styrofoam Cup by
They say it can take hundreds or even thousands of years for a Styrofoam cup to disappear, but this one was gone in two days. A combination of GMO and Sunset Sherbert, fans of Colorado‘s colossus breeder Cannarado will recognize this lineage as their MSG, which Team Elite Genetics calls Styrofoam Cup.

Grip Tape by Bosky
This month’s highlight, Grip Tape (a nod to Clark’s longtime love of skateboarding), showcases Bosky’s in-house combination of Kookieland and Cherry Gushers. He says it smokes like a Headband or an OG, which makes it great for recovering after a long day of skating or your preferred physical activity.

It all began with an idea...
Long before publishing Northwest Leaf, the first Leaf magazine we launched in Washington state, my passion for Cannabis was brightly evident. Of course, the introduction to getting baked in high school is a memorable cornerstone of anyone’s life, but when a college journalism professor asks, “Do you always do your homework when you’re stoned, Wes?” - you know you’re in deep. When my true love for the plant really sunk in, however, was upon hearing the district judge call my name for the charge of ma*****na possession, to which my mother seated next to me responded, “Is this how you want to live your life?” In my heart the answer was an undeniable ‘yes,’ but with a deeper respect for the legal history that preceded me, and the Golden State pioneers who paved the way.
I wanted to be able to use Cannabis responsibly without repercussion. I wanted to be able to grow and share a plant that has brought value to people’s lives for thousands of years.
I wanted to see the war on drugs ended and peaceful people freed from private prisons. I wanted to see children returned from CPS and I wanted to live in a world where an organ transplant list doesn’t preclude medical Cannabis use.
Youth and passion often share the same lane, and this combination is what led me to become part of the lobby that urges positive change.
So, in June of 2010 the first issue went to print at a time when Cannabis use was highly illegal and medical was a burgeoning fringe movement on the West Coast. And with the hint of a legal world brewing, an optimism spurned with the notion that by serving the community as a positive voice, we could be an influence on many levels and reshape the narrative that had been so misconstrued.
A decade later, the Leaf is currently publishing in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Maryland, and now very proudly, California - with other amazing markets on the near horizon.
We have honored the original model of providing truthful journalism while still offering an entertaining lean. We never sell our content or compromise our values in the fight for freedom. Today it feels as though we have come a long way, but that our journey as a publication and as a global community of Cannabis consumers is still in its genesis. Many of our obstacles remain for us to overcome - wrongs to be righted and prisoners yet to be freed.
With that purpose ensconced into my fiber, I am determined to continue the mission of the Leaf and forge through another decade, continuing to document, support and share the stories of our growing Cannabis communities worldwide. Thank you for reading and sharing, and for your love for a plant that has changed so many lives for the better. To offer this publication in the great state of California is a dream come true and I feel deeply blessed that you will be taking this journey with me.
