Issue: September 22, 2011
Good morning!
As most of you probably know, harvest season is upon us once again. So,
what better time to roll out a CN&R Pot Issue than now? We tackle a few
different issues--from cartel grows to dispensaries to last year's raids on
collectives--in this week's Feature package. But look elsewhere, too--in
Chow, I learned how to bake with shake; and Downstrokes are chock full of
marijuana-related news.
In other news: Chicoans brace for the closure of Bidwell Mansion; Passages
Adult Resource Center reaches out to seniors; and much, much more.
Don't forget, there's just one week left to vote for the Best of Chico!

Until next time,
