When we create events we do so with the thought of providing space that we really want to be a part of. San Diego is a beautifully progressive city with a huge population of plant eaters. We love that!! We want to provide space for the herbivores to gather, eat, dance, sing, and connect with others. 
On June 30th we did just that. The Eco Lounge was held at The Center for a Healthy Lifestyle in Solana Beach. This center has been estabilished for the children at the Boys and Girls Club to come and learn how to garden and grow food. They have done a wonderful job. The ambiance at this “house” is inviting. There’s a huge garden in the back filled with fresh food that you can grab and eat, and the front yard has a large deck patio with a fountain of running water. 
Inside the center is a large open kitchen which was perfect for Organic Blood/Planet Fuji chefs to create their magical delights. In the kitchen Chef Matthew Purnell and Fuji Love served up RAW and Vegan food ready to order. Amongst the delights we had black bean tacos with macademia nut sour cream and pineapple salsa, a black and brown rice melody with garlic herb mushrooms on top, and asian stir fry. On our RAW food menu we had Summer Solstice Sun Burgers with fresh made ketchup, Pesto Spaghetti, Smokey Ginger Kale Salad, and 7 Layer Dip with Purple Corn Chips. 
Of course everything was organic and most of the produce was purchased at our local farmers market. We had a bar going all night long serving SUPERFOOD Tonic Elixirs. Some people were a bit tired from their day so they chose a tonic to give them energy, some people wanted to feel more mellow so they chose an appropriate tonic, and some people wanted to get in a love mood for after the party so they chose their elixir 🙂 We brought in THE BEST DJ we could find and of course, he’s a plant eater just like us. DJ Dash Eye of the Tribe of Kings spun reggae music that really set the tone for the night. 
We were able to serve over 100 people throughout the night and the energy in there was inspiring. Everyone got to connect with old friends and meet new friends. We had about 5 different Meet Up groups representing including members from our own www.meetup.com/organicblood 
Once the night started to wind down and everyones bellies were content, an impromtu open mic session started. We had live poetry and rhymes and laughs. It was difficult to get everyone to leave, people simply didn’t want to disconnect from the vibe we collectively created. Even after all the crew had packed up and shut down the spot, there was still people hanging out totally engulfed in conversation lol. Thank you to everyone who came and don’t worry, there will be more. Look for the Eco Lounge to be open at least once a month and as we grow we will open it more frequently. For the next one we are planning to incorporate yoga, more open mic time, and low lights for dancing 🙂

Organic Blood’s celebrating 2 years with NUG Magazine
NUG Magazine is distributed monthly throughout San Diego and supports local arts, creativity and they of course keep the city updated and educated on the cannabis and hemp culture. Tiffany Janay contributes monthly columns on holistic lifestyle living. Her column has become a favorite amongst the Twitter community specifically. The magazine is growing at a strong and steady pace which is inspiring considering they are a grass roots company owned by a husband and wife. Couples in business together are great!
Organic Blood was proud to sponsor their celebration.
Malik and I brought some of the Bloodline out with us to join in the celebration…

We don’t use the hot pink soap they usually give out in the bathroom, what is that?! What goes on the skin goes in the blood and we gotta keep it organic. Thanks Dr. B for sponsoring the event and holdin down us OB’s.
Thank you NUG for a great 2 years of personal expansion and for allowing me to fulfill my goals. Now let’s get ready for national distribution!!
Organic Blood Presents with LoVe: THE HEMP EDIBLE & WEARABLE FASHION SHOW VIDEO!
Organic Blood in conjunction with The Hemp Industry Associations National Hemp History Week campaign, brought to the city of San Diego a Hemp Edible & Wearable Fashion Show. The event was held at Queen Bee’s Cultural Center and featured DOPE fashion from designers such as Livity Outernational, Satori, Dime Bags, Sativa Bags, Jungmaven, Hemp Hoodlamb, and Hempys.
Our guests got to taste many different hemp flavors from companies such as Nutiva, Manitoba Harvest, Ruths Hemp Food, Rejuvenative, Kombucha 2000, and Natures Path.
The event was created to educate the people about the fact that as U.S. citizens we are federally prohibited from growing hemp for industrial purposes which is causing the funneling of millions of dollars to be spent boosting other countries economies.
Help us spread the word and be apart of our momentum in getting the government to DECRIMINALIZE HEMP!!

Chef Fuji found health and well being in Living Foods upon birthing her first child, now 5 1/2 years old. At 23, believing the peak of living was supposed be at this time in her life, she felt unnaturally heavy, tired, and unmotivated to move. After discovering various cleansing techniques, raw nutrition made an appearance in many articles and books. The repetition of cleansing with live foods also made sense to optimize life everyday, for her and her family. Now with more life, light, and energy Chef Fuji brings her amazing Life invoking Foods to the table, for happiness, togetherness and just real deliciousness!

Is marijuana legal to smoke in California?
Today is filled with mixed emotions in California. Prop 19 would have made history by being the first state in the U.S. to legalize cannabis and yesterday was voting day. So did it pass?
Nope!
Personally I didn’t really have a stance on if it passed or not. Not too interested in the whole political system. Prefer to put my energy in creating something more beneficial BUT I’m around lots of passionate people who did want to see it pass.
I’ve been in the weed industry almost my whole life but professionally for over 10 years now. I started working with my brothers company in the 90’s in just the products side of the business. Selling products but not the actual weed. Feel me? I knew what life looked like on that side my world but not until I relocated to San Diego did I get a whole other perspective of the other side of this world.
Currently in Cali medical marijuana is legal. You can go down to the county and get a card and register as a pot smoker, medicinally of course, and then go to a store front and buy you a sack while being consulted by a Budtender. It is so crazy to see how things have changed in such a short amount of time. I used to want to go to Amsterdam so bad so that I could experience what is now happening right down the street from me. Unbelievable almost. The businesses that have been created from this is amazing. There’s parties and concerts and fairs specifically for weed smokers! Its all fun but there’s some people that have fought tooth and nail to get create this fun for us. In the process have had their children snatched, been put in jail, and some even expedited out of the country.
I’ve had the opportunity to mingle with the advocates for legalization or rather decriminalization of weed. This is the other side I speak of. Personally I have never had a run in with The Man over weed. I’ve never had to spend a second in a hostile environment over a plant but this isn’t the reality for everyone. These people have heart wrenching stories to tell about the pains of having their children taken from them or how it feels to be compared to a child molester and some TODAY are fighting the legal system to keep their freedom all because they choose to elevate with a plant. Its insane. Currently there’s a middle aged man who is facing life in prison for operating a legal medical marijuana collective. I’ve attended a few events with the advocates and heard their stories and seen the tears. These are the people that have felt the pain of weed not being legal. They are the ones that go down to congress and fight to get initiatives like Prop 19 on the bill for California voters to vote on.
For them its a sad day. To me, I’m not too sure that the whole Prop 19 bill was exactly what the people are looking for. I think that most people thought that legalization meant freedom which was not the complete truth. People just really want to be able to get high and not have to go to jail for it or have to pay fines for ingesting a plant. Thats not exactly what Prop 19 was going to do for us. I’ve heard some people admit to that but still chose to vote for it in hopes of just working out the details later.
With all things in life, its never about what its about. It was a great effort on the advocates part and I bet that in this process people realized just how strong they are and how much weight their words carry and how much influence they could have over a group of people. Those are all qualities that will help in so many unforeseen directions in life. So cheer up guys. You may have lost the battle but the war isn’t over. This is just a milestone in an entire journey. Rethink, regroup and keep the movement going.
