Issue #73
Can't wait 'till this gets to my bookstore! Looks like a good one, keep up the great work.
No poster centerfold??? You
No poster centerfold??? You guys should put two in the next one to make up for it. I have all your posters up till this issue and I was looking forward to getting one in this issue but was very disappointed that there wasnt one. The magazine is still the best one out there, but posters are sweet too!!
No $ for centerfold...
The Bob Marley and Snoop Dogg roach paper art is part of an article that sits in the center of the magazine. It's a great-looking spread.
Unfortunately, we had to cut the actual centerfold from CC #73 because of monetary concerns. It costs about $5,000 to print and insert the centerfold, and the magazine itself costs more than $60,000 per issue to print.
With the economic crunch getting tighter everywhere, we had to cut back our printing costs (in addition to the 20% pay cut everyone in our organization received). Let me tell you, it's VERY frustrating to see High Times and Skunk magazine with their pages and pages of FAKE BUD ads, which we refuse to take... Those scammers have a lot of ad money and fake bud, which keeps HT and Skunk afloat while we survive on legitimate advertising...
However, with our newly updated http://www.CannabisCulture.com website and CC online store system, we've sold a lot of subscriptions and back issues. With that kind of support getting stronger, we might be able to print the centerfold again soon!
Issue #73 not found anywhere!
Hey there my weed tokin' friends! I love this mag and have been awaiting issue #73 with serious anticipation and low and behold I cannot find it at any bookstores or liquor/smoke shops in my area. Have some of the chains like Borders and Barnes & Noble stopped carrying the mag for some reason? No one seems to know why there are no issues available or being shipped to these stores and I really want the new issue...
Thanks

Page Links?
Hi Tim. Say...Is there supposed to be working links to the stories on the page (eg. Marijuana & Drug War News Jacob Hunter ) or am I merely having browser problems? I tried 3 different types however, so that isn't too likely. Thanks.
Links to stories
Articles in recently-released issues of Cannabis Culture are not made available online right away. You can read articles from older issues; just scroll below the Table of Contents and most (if not all) articles are linked to, and available to read online.

can anyone tell me when mar.
can anyone tell me when mar. april #74 comes out?
Issue #74, and CC Mag availability
Issue #74 will be sent out to subscribers in the next week. Copies should be available in head shops and hemp stores (that order directly from us) in the next week. Newsstands and other places will get it in the first week of April.
Unfortunately, "Anderson News", which distributed most of our magazine to chain bookstores like Borders, Chapters and Barnes & Noble went out of business just recently. Anderson News distributes hundreds of thousands of magazines, from every type of interest -- fashion, news, etc.
They went out of business like many other big corporations are doing right now... it's frightening, and really unfortunate because they carried at least 30% of our magazines. So the stores that got CC from Anderson News distribution need to find another distributor, or get it directly from us -- see the "Distribute" button to the left, and tell your local places to carry CC!
Thanks for continuing to read Cannabis Culture Magazine!
