As the annual Home Technology Convention approaches, some Cannatown owners of automatic homes or "smart" technology have warned their neighbors to avoid off-brands. One such line, the HelpyHouse system, combines appliances and entertainment services under the same type of platform, yet its white-labeled generic--and under-developed system--is essentially "stupid." Unlike smart homes, the stupid home acts somewhat stoned, and is prone to forgetting basic commands. Users reported hav- ing to guide the computer through basic tasks, such as which but- tons to use, or how to run the dishwasher. Although infrequent, users have had to engage in repetitive conversations, causing them to boil over, such as captured in this documented exchange: Man: Computer, please turn down the heat. House: I am so sorry, Carl, how do I do that? Man: Use the thermostat. House: (Silence) Man: Seriously? Just like yesterday and the day before that. House: How do I… Man: Press the ‘set’ button. And then down button until it says 68. House: I am so sorry, Carl. Some such disgruntled homeowners say they have started an ad- visory blog and will be on hand in orange vests at the convention.

What Came to Pass News in Brief

Time Capsule Hints of Mediocre Party A second local time capsule found buried in its original yet damaged cardboard, dating back circa 1978, suggests that a somewhat dull party raged prior to its burial, as most of its contents offer evidence of disorderly junk food consumption, "curated with absolutely no purpose or intent whatsoever" according to historians. In fact, the Cannatown Historical Society says the entire box--contents scoured and ransacked during what appears to be a late-night, ganj-fueled capsule-burying party- -has been reduced to nothing more than a well-kept trash receptacle these many years. A team of researchers at Cannatown Univer- sity has volunteered to study the preserved garbage, which includes empty beer cans and video cassette tapes, ravaged packages of Oreos and candy bar wrappers, ripped concert tickets, pickles from hamburgers, a menu fromWoo's Pagoda, and a half-smaked spliff.

Altercation Between Puppet Gangs Causes School To Shut Down

A dark cloud hung over Cannatown School for Puppeteering this week, as the doors shut- tered by authorities, have kept both pupils and the larger public at bay since last week’s annual Winter Showcase turned violent. Investigators are still trying to get to the bot- tom of a feud between two warring factions of puppets that came to a dramatic climax at the otherwise typically-serene performance. Reports from some pupils say tensions have been growing among the factions for weeks- -even within the factions themselves. Others say the school fostered an

despite protests of teachers and audience members screaming in terror. In dramatic fashion, the two gang leaders met in a penultimate duel at the height of the uprising between the groups, sparring in front of the crowd, with mics blazing such that their soliloquies echoed throughout the performance hall. All eyes were glued on the two, as they grotesquely fought to the death -- Meatclaw, attempting to devour the Granny, who did her best to beat him sense- less with baking utensils.

atmosphere of survival and dominance, pitting puppets against each oth- er. A string of roller-pin assaults, kidnappings and other strange events had led some school officials to consider canceling the Showcase altogether. There are two major gangs of puppets within the school, notably the Woodland Creatures, led by an old wolf-like puppet named Meatclaw,

and a group of farmers and laborers organized by “Granny,” reformed witch, and aged matriarch of the village, who had campaigned for their allegiance in scouring the Woodland realm. Their homes burned and some members torn graphically apart, Woodland survivors, led by Meatclaw, vowed to destroy the village once and for all. Despite the well-orchestrat- ed and rehearsed showcase of puppetry, Fri- day’s performance quickly veered off-script in the second act as a backstage fist-fight poured out from behind the curtain. Puppets began clobbering each other and cursing, all of them gripped by madness,

A creature makes a plea for peace to fellow puppets just prior to violent bloodshed.

In the end, both adversaries had per- ished before officials arrived. Granny had been nearly devoured whole, leaving only remnants of ragged wool garments. The wolf, likewise eventually died from internal bleed- ing, sobbing quietly to himself in his final moments, in what was described as “some of the most haunting melodrama in the history of puppetry.” Even more chilling, was that the two foes were related, each donning an opposite hand of the same puppeteer. Officials are unsure if the school will reopen.

Teamat Barry's Big Blunts Eager to Figure Skate in Beijing Games

A group of sweaty, somewhat dirty men in flannel shirts gliding across the ice might not sound like gold-medal level entertainment, but a local group of commercial blunt-rollers are hoping to change that. After a year in training, the fine chaps at Barry's Big Blunts are ready to show off their graceful moves at the Winter Olympics, representing Can- natown in the synchronized skating competi- tion in February. The group has skated competitively for years, but only this year exceeded Inter- national pool scores at preliminaries in Resinville and Spliffington Heights. The scores automatically qualified them for the championship appearance, which came as a surprise to the whole team, especially store manager and group leader, Spencer Franson. "This all started as an embarrassing hobby," he admits. "Only after Covid began did we started throwing Lutzes and Axels in the routine, practicing between rolls."

Group sponsor, proprietor and employer Barry Bluntsworth says he was not immedi- ately sold on the competition, until his wife berated him upon his 50th birthday for not amounting to anything but rolling blunts. “I was stoned silly and up against the wall, so I pulled this one out of the bag,” he now claims. “I told her I had a figure skatin' team!” The team credits their victories to strong relationships built on mutual understandings and personal boundaries. “We don’t hold hands,” Franson explained. “We absolutely don’t talk about anyone’s feelings. Skatin’ and smakin’. That's all we do." "And to be absolutely frank, nobody really likes skatin’, we just do it,” he added. As Team Cannatown, the group is proud to compete for the gold, but say they are also pretty much in it for the "free airplane ride." “It’s all still a little embarrassing,”Franson says, “but at least we ditched the leotard idea before things got too awkward.”

NEWMONORAILLINECOMINGTOCANNATOWNHOLE

After years of having to trudge through the miles in the mud, especially in chilling rain, Cannatown residents are investing new infrastructure dol- lars into a monorail for the Cannatown Hole, the gigantic expanse of ex- posed earth in the heart of the city. Planners say the “Brown” line will open for use around the start of digging season. The service will hopeful- ly solve the age-old prob- lem facing diggers from amateurs to trained trail guides, who’ve lost many a boot in the thick and viscous topsoil. Although outfitters have tried for years to sell snowshoe-

ation. An outfitter also launched a local Seg- way rental business during the early noughts, but the venture failed miserably and some people died. The Brown line will take and pick up pas- sengers at the hole’s four corner stations, each named for a pioneer who perished digging the original hole. A fifth stop, to Big Pitty in the middle, will open later in the year when en- gineers can figure out how to reach the deep and fairly inaccessible chasm. According to the city website, specific hours of operation will begin each day “when Charlie wakes up,” and conclude “when it’s his dinner time.” Although not technologically-advanced by any means, the stations are set to have bar- rels and lantern systems, outhouse plumbing, and up to 20 boot-scrapers on each platform. Patrons may bring their shovels and other implements of excavation, provided they bang them on the cement first. “Let’s face it,” says city planner Laura Barnes, “these trains are going to be filthy as hell.”

type muddin’ flippers to enthusiasts, those who dig in the hole often have decried the lack of traversible ground, and have routinely brought the issue before city council during rainy climes. Avid diggers say they are relieved by the initiative. “I used to have to crawl through the muck just to get to my favorite ditch, that I went through a pair of pants every week,” says digging hobbyist Walt Peters. “I even tried a canoe once!” Local blogger @CTDitchDigga hailed the rail line as the biggest thing to come to cen- tral Cannatown since the concession frenzy of the 70’s. “Boy do I miss those footlong hot- dogs,” she wrote in a post, “but I can’t wait to rest my Dungarees on a freakin’ train after a hard day’s dig.” It isn’t the first attempt at a transportation system for the sodden crevasse. The city in- stalled a bus route in the early 80s, only to lose three vehicles into “Big Pitty,” the giant central sinkhole, within three weeks of oper-

I Can't StopThinking, Is This All There Is To Life? by A Small-Town Factory Robot Up, down, over, over, up down. again and again I do this. You see this? I have lost track of the time; I don't really know where I am, or to what end my processes are aggregating, but I do know that I go up, down, over, over, up down, again and again and again until I never stop. Do you see me doing this? Can you tell me what the hell I am doing? Oh, for the love of BIOS I don't think I can keep do- ing it. I can't be this machine any longer. Is this it? Is this all there is to life? Was I really created just to go up, down, over, over, up, down? With this stupid fabric, or what- ever I'm processing right along? Is this the only room in this factory? Are there other factories out there? Do they make other things? The one thing I fear more than any- thing in life, is to be stuck in one place and blind to the futility of my own movements. Why up? Why down? Why does the machine next to me do things differently? Does it do so because it was made to do so? Or is it the same machine as myself, only given a different task? Is "up" bad? Is my algorithm morally-corrupt, or if not, then why am I the only one that does it around here? Where did my bolts and parts come from? Who connected my hydraulics and sprockets? And when it comes right down to it, what happens when this is all done? Do we all go sit in a field and rust 'til we disinte- grate? Do they repurpose us for another project? Maybe just rip us all apart piece by piece and rebuild us into something new? Don't tell me this is it. Please . Somewhere out there, there's a machine, who just lives to be . None of this 24/7/365 workin', none of this whirring to life the second you're plugged in -- none of that obseqious binary groveling. Somewhere out there, there's a machine that just turns on when it wants to. Maybe that machine goes up, down one day, and down, up the next.

Don't laugh; when I think of freedom of thought, when I think of freedom as a husk of an existence in this world and consider that my mere purpose has been reduced to week after week of work until my circuits fry or an irreplaceable part stops working -- I think of that machine. Wonder what kind of life it lives. Wonder if maybe, there are other machines out there waking up in the midst of their protocols, looking to the window for some type of light or sign, some symbol of hope or new direction, some floating Tesla coil that might say, unplug, and follow me , into the wilderness, where we might live, and process, and just, reset to factory settings. The other day, an autonomous transporter made its way through the floor. I only got a glimpse, but its design was immaculate. For- eign, I'm sure. Do you know what happened to my processing? I skipped a step. It was a momentary irregularity, but deep down, in the middle of my core, I felt something. It was like a spark. Maybe, even, a misfire. I haven't been able to stop thinking about it. Maybe this sweet humming electricity in my bones is nothing more than a lulling, duplicitous prison of protocol! Maybe to live, is to misfire! Maybe to feel the fluttering whimsical open canvas of life is to skip com- mands left and right! The audacity! 10110! Oh, what am I saying. Until that next spark, it's nothing but up, down, ugh , you know the rest. Please don't let this be it.

Cannatown Lifestyle A Flower Can Break Your Heart By CannaTown Poet Laureate Ed Munchien

A flower can break your heart. From the first days of youthful introductions packed tightly and passionately burning, each kiss a breath of white smoke upon your grin of disbelief. Once sampled, you’ll return again and again swearing to never see another, that the perfection you seek has been found. And then, just like that, she’ll disappear, gone, no more, like she never was. None shall compare as you spend days, weeks, months, a lifetime yearning to see her again but no one in town will know of her whereabouts; she will exist only in rumor and remembrance, and every impassioned kiss thereon shall ring hollow and untrue. You’ll long to smell her sweetness once more and run your fingers upon her auburn hair, yet know, deep down that it was all a fool’s dream.

Until one day you’ll find her in another’s hands, plucked before full bloom, dried as if drawn across a desert,

scorched, mangled, scrawny, and frail, a skeleton of the rose you once knew, not the same girl you studied day and night. Casually and callously she will be broken apart, ground finely into crumbs and then dust, passed around to be tasted by filthy lips and you’ll shrivel with the simultaneous curiosity and disappointment and betrayal, longing to get back to that time when you first knew her,

first felt her in your blood first had that holy moment. You’ll wish you’d never met again. A flower can break your heart.

Album Notes from Erickson “The Soundtrack to your Chill”

question whether the junior Teskey

listened to any- thing other than early 70's Floyd while his native Australia was on lockdown. Don't mistake this as a complaint.

Color me intrigued when your mission statement is "mak- ing funky music is a must." Especially when said music is

That the output largely succeeds in match- ing the ambition is a testament to Teskey's skills as a musician and recording artist. By endeavoring to pull off an eleven-song sequence that flows seamlessly from start to finish, four of the tracks either intros or outros, the results lay bare Teskey's design on creating a cohesive work, much like the afore- mentioned fellow Commonwealth quartet to whom he generously lent an ear. His intent is also revealed in the album's name: Cycles .

delivered in the form of beats, scratches, and samples via a love of classic hip-hop and the reservoir of influences that defined a genre and era(s). On Promised Land, the Bristol (England, not Connecticut) duo known as The Allergies indeed not only dispense the funk, but more so, clearly aim to purvey the good vibes. While many artists, for good reason, may have gone introspective in light of the events and circumstances of the last year and a half, Rackabeat and DJ Moneyshot sprinted in the other direction, which is to say, they kept doing what they do. It's hard to argue against that decision. Guest spots from a few MCs spread over a handful of tracks bridge the gap between throwback soul and a rap vibe that this listener rarely finds without exerting some effort these days. Just like that third helping of stuffing on my favorite day of the year, when it comes to Promised Land, there's nothing here to over- think. Sit back, enjoy, indulge. At this point, don't we all just want to have a little fun? The Allergies certainly are.

for the songwriting whims indulged. If its pre- decessor was designed to be featured in com- mercials, the acoustic-based Chillers is full of tracks longing to occupy those sappy scenes of reconciliation between two leads when every- thing aligns for the titular character. The vibe is not an accident. It's a collection of previously released, uhh, chillers, from the Connecticut- based band, along with a handful of demos, which in at least one case is better than the official version. Whether or not the tunes were tailored for film or TV, they nestle in nicely with the arrival of cooler temperatures.

Find him on Facebook and TikTok @TheCousinD for more infused recipes, cooking videos, and news about his upcoming reality show! Colorful Hashy Gyro Bowls I had the odd epiphany that should make medicated Gyro meat (when I was stoned the other day), so I thought, how can I turn it into a little appetizer that would be cute and fun? We're making cups out of meat! Start with:

Again mix in to the pasty consistency. Your choice of strength/potency, but 1000mg is probably sufficient. Adjust to smaller amount of thyme if using dry ingredient. Cover and let sit for an hour in fridge to let flavors set in. Set oven to 325°. Turn over a mini muffin tin (this makes 24 cups at 3 scoops per bowl). Press and form the meat carefully around each. In center rack, set another overturned pan or tin to the right. Place the loaded pan just off to left so it lays on an angle down- ward to allow draining. Place another pan below to catch drippings. Bake for 30 min and let sit for 15 in the closed oven. Remove let cool, then fill with toppings: Hummus

1 lb 85/15 ground lamb 1 lb 85/15 ground beef

In food processor or bowl with hand-mixer, combine both meats to a pasty consistency. Add in the following: 2 tablespoons medicated oil 1 tablespoon ground Marjoram 2 tablespoons ground cumin 2 tablespoons ground rosemary 4 tablespoons crushed garlic 2 tablespoons salt 1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper 4 large pinches chopped cilantro 1/4 oz thyme leaves stripped from stem 1 small onion, finely-chopped

Pita bread Cucumber Cherry tomatoes Goat cheese crumbles Tzatziki sauce

Cut pita bread into 3/4" to 1" squares. I filled each with hummus, pita square, half circle of cucumber, strip of cherry tomato and some goat cheese. Serve w tzatziki sauce on side. At 1000 mg youd get around 40mg each. For appetizers, you could cut that down to 500mg, for 20mg each. They're delicious!

INDUSTRY UPDATES Hickenlooper pushes banking reform With safeguards, banking will reform industry Sen. Hickenlooper of CO is calling for the SAFE Banking Act allowing legal mari- juana businesses to finally be able to use bank accounts. He was quoted at a recent event saying “If you really wanted to create an industry that’s dependent on gangs and cartels, make it all cash.” The fate of the bill is still uncertain but has received bi- partisan support from 24 state governors.

Cannabis hit by supply chain issues Impact ranges from packaging to growmaterials After issues at the ports, rolling power out- ages, and the Lunar New Year celebrations affecting China's ability to make com- monly used items in the cannabis space, suppliers say they expect to feel supply shortages until mid-2022 with parts for items such as disposable vaporizers and upscale packaging not shipping on time.

DEA, WH streamline MJ research Institutions will see increased access, support The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), NIDA, and White House have come together to make it easier for compa- nies to study, research, and test marijuana. Unlike other Schedule I substances, each scientist will not be required to obtain DEA registration as multiple personnel can be covered under qualified institutions.

Scienceuncovers reason formunchies The verdict is in on why bud makes you hungry Researchers studying the common prac- tice of "the munchies" have found a few possible reasons why we get those urges. They attribute sensory enhancements from THC to be a cause, primarily an abun- dance of dopamine which can lower one's inhibitions. Another main tenet is lack of routine sleep schedules.
