Name: OnAir Magazine

Company description:

OnAir is a new alternative publishing company, born in Palermo (Italy) just over a year ago. In a short time it has already itself in the cannabis environment for its strongly independent and revolutionary brand.

The magazine is the brainchild of Sandro Inzerillo Visual Insight, in collaboration with the Association SerendiPA (whose name is inspired by the “serendipity”, but it is also an acronym for Solidarity, Ethics, Responsibility for the New Rights person in the Environment) and Alternative Press, a historical label founded by Marcello Baraghini (Managing Editor). It is distributed throughout Italy in Growshops, independent book stores, through the networks of Alternative Press and the world of associations, exhibitions and national and international cannabis events.

OnAir Magazine covers esoteric and harmonic developments, green economy and education, networking and rights and it is an interactive new window on the world of Rights related to the Environment and new ways of life that promote the eco-harmony of the Planet.

Our mission is the theme of the Right of Cannabis: in the emblematic story of this plant we see the symbol for redemption of a green and healthy economy, based on a relationship of respect and value creation with the Planet; cover the failure of prohibition, new international activities in the field of social and health policies, policies to promote and stress the EU to reintroduce the cultivation of hemp and cannabis. We also promote the extraordinary potential of green economy and health that this plant can bring.

We explore its potential in many different sectors and fields: culture as phyto-efficacy in the therapy of contaminated soils, due to its exceptional properties of absorption of heavy metals, which could be the solution to serious pollution; the ancient history of its use in construction: green building, eco-architecture. We also open windows on information and the dissemination Chain Hemp Textiles in Italy, its history, the present scenario and the various realities in our country, and we dedicate a permanent space also to nutraceutical, the extraordinary properties of hemp seed from the nutritional and medical point of view. We also do that through Produce Houses Semi devoting their space entitled: Many Flowers, Just A Field: … So many seeds around the major reality in Italy and Europe.

1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

Yes, this is our “first time”. We did not participate as riders, but as supporters and volunteers.

2) Why do you support the MCBT?

As mentioned above in the description of our company, everything about cannabis is our mission, and it is important from this point of view the place it holds in terms of medical and health benefits.

3) Do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?

It is vital to support independent research on cannabis to give the opportunity for people to really take care of their health, without compromising it with invasive treatments whose risks are greater than the benefits.


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through
Walacea. Why should individuals donate?

Because the project, supported by MCBT is vital for the chance to discover the real potential of cannabinoids as a killer drug of cancer cells brain (glioma). The potential therapeutic value of cannabis could change the life expectancy of millions of people.

1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

Yes! Unfortunately no riders this year, but we’ve already started training for next year’s tour!

2) Why do you support the MCBT?

We wholeheartedly support medical cannabis research, we believe that this bike tour – organised for the 3rd time already! – contributes a lot to putting medical cannabis research on the agendas of those who can make this next step a reality: universities, scholars, lawmakers and doctors. We are from Amsterdam, so we know one thing for sure: a bike gets you anywhere you want!

3) Do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?

Cannabis has been used for centuries, but the Western world has only recently begun to recognise the medicinal properties. New cannabinoids are still being discovered, we’ have only just started to learn about the huge potential of this plant. Patients report amazing results. It would be a shame to dismiss all these potential benefits of a 100% natural remedy just because the plant first became popular as a recreational drug.

4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through Walacea. Why should individuals donate?
Let’s assume you subscribe to this goal we all share. And you’ve always wanted to contribute, but didn’t know how (and biking 420 kilometres is just not your thing), this is your chance. A few mouse clicks is all it takes!

Descripción de la compañia:

Cannabis Magazine Sweet Seeds, es uno de los bancos pioneros de semillas que ha contribuido a que hoy en día las semillas feminizadas sean las preferidas por los cannabicultores del mundo entero. Genéticas de alta calidad y alta producción, muy resinosas y especialmente aromáticas, libre de machos y hermafroditismo genético, y con un porcentaje de germinación superior al 95%. Este es nuestro compromiso de calidad con nuestros clientes. Sweet Seeds, también ha sido pionero en la investigación y desarrollo de las modernas variedades autoflorecientes, este tipo de variedades han supuesto una segunda revolución genética que ha vuelto a transformar el mercado de las semillas de cannabis.

1) Es la primera vez que patrocinas MCBT? Tenéis algún ciclista participando?

Sweet Seeds, lleva participando activamente con Medical Cannabis bike tour desde hace ya al menos 3 años. Este año, es el segundo año que somos sponsor bronce y seguiremos apoyando esta causa siempre que podamos, no solo con la sponsorizacion si no con todas las actividades que Bike tour organiza, como la rifa que se llevó a cabo en la feria Indica- Sativa de Bolognia. Este año por compromisos laborales, no podremos ir a pedalear, esperamos al año que viene poder subirnos a la bici. b>

2) Porque apoyáis MCBT?
Sweet Seeds, apoya a MCBT porque pensamos que es una iniciativa muy buena.Ayudar a la investigación es primordial para conseguir avances contra esta enfermedad que tan cerca está de todos. Sin investigación no hay avance.

 

3) Creéis que es importante financiar investigación independiente en cannabis médico?
La investigación es el único camino que tenemos para averiguar la aportación que puede tener el cannabis a los pacientes con patologías cancerígenas. Los fármacos que habitualmente se utilizan para combatir la enfermedad suelen ser muy agresivos, dejando al paciente sin fuerza, sin defensas y con un sistema inmunológico muy débil. Si con la investigación independiente podemos descubrir una manera de ayudar a todos los pacientes a llevar mejor la enfermedad, la investigación es el camino.

4) El MCBT está organizado una campaña de micromecenaje mediante WalaceaWalacea. Porque pensais que las personas individuales deberían donar para esta causa?
El mundo entero tendría que comprometerse con cualquier investigación que mejore la vida de los demás. Colaborar en este tipo de iniciativas nos atañe a todos. Es nuestra responsabilidad crecer en un mundo mejor.

5) Por favor, nominad una canción o melodía para la banda sonora de los ciclistas.

1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

We’ve been sponsoring the MCBT since the very first edition. We had no staff of the Amsterdam Seed Center participating in this year’s tour. Maybe next year!

2) Why do you support the MCBT?
People world wide – especially governments – should be made much more aware of the medical benefits of cannabis. Funds should be raised to finance the study on cannabis for medicinal use and ultimately actually cure people suffering from cancer or other horrible diseases. Luc and his Medical Cannabis Bike Tour are doing JUST EXACTLY THAT! The question is: “Why NOT sponsor the MCBT?” 🙂


3) Do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?
Very important! There are so many benefits of cannabis. We don’t even know the half of it.


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through

We have been sponsoring for a few years now and we are very happy to be a part of such a great initiative. I wish we were sporty enough to join the riders, looks like a of fun ( and hard work, hehe ) so all cred to the riders for bringing awareness in such a great way!

We support MCBT because we think it’s a very good initiative and it is founding very important research. The real question would be, why don’t you support MCBT? Get on board!

It’s crucial that independent studies are being done, so we get results that are not just for companies to use, but for the whole population to benefit from. Now we get the truth, the whole truth.


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through
Walacea. Why should individuals donate?
We think it’s great that everybody can now be a part of the sponsoring. All means help and many private sponsor can bring a great attribution to the campaign, not only by donating, also by spreading awareness about the campaign.

Company description:

Snail Rolling Papers We produce customized rolling papers for clients around the world with our own designs under the brand name Snail. We also make rolling papers with clients’ own designs.

1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

No, this is not our first time as a sponsor of MCBT. We’ve been a sponsor, proud sponsor may I add, for all the tours so far; so this is our fourth year, participating as a sponsor. And most probably not our last year. Yes we do!

2) Why do you support the MCBT?
We support the medical cannabis bike tour, because we’ve all been affected by diseases one way or another. If not directly then, well, everybody knows someone who is fighting these sorts of illnesses. And since we’ve been working in the cannabis industry for quite a few years now, we feel we should also do something and give something back in a way. The thing is that there are lots of evidences that cannabis does have positive medicinal effects on people, but unfortunately there are no funds, which are very much needed and could help scientists in their researches. So, as you can see there’s a lot of reasons why someone should participate in such things. After all, the feeling that you’ve done some good in world is a reward on it’s own.


3) Do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?
Of course it’s important. I do not wish to repeat myself, but as mentioned, cannabis has substances, which help in cancer treatments. Researches are not being made and all sorts of experiments and experimental treatments cannot be done, because there are no funds to finance this. And since cannabis is still illegal in most parts of the world, everything has to be funded through individuals who wish to learn/see/find out, if there’s any cure for terminal diseases. So, yes, it’s very important to fund MCBT. It’s a really huge cause and luckily every year more and more people are understanding this.


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through
Walacea. Why should individuals donate?
As mentioned previously above, cannabis is illegal and so there’s not a lot of awareness about the good things it also does, like curying and helping people. Through Walacea more and more people are again getting aware and because of this awarness they start supporting the cause. And it’s important that people donate, every EUR, penny or other valute counts! In this way they’re also supporting people all over the world who study this incredible plant and it’s effects.
Finally, individuals should donate because it’s about all of us, not only the patients. Everyone gets ill from time to time and cannabis isn’t helpful only in curing cancer. It helps with all sorts of different diseases and conditions; headaches, back pain, glaucoma, MS,….

No this is our second sponsorship and, unfortunately, we do not have any riders.


2) Why do you support the MCBT?
It’s a great, not for profit cause!


3) Do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?
I believe it is not only important but the only way research will continue. I don’t believe our Canadian government is doing anything to fund cannabis research and the large pharma companies seem not interested.


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through
Walacea. Why should individuals donate?
The more money raised, the better the chances for medical breakthroughs.

Of course it is: first of all to avoid the monopoly of the big pharmaceutical companies and besides to let the research benefits available for everybody, not only for a few people


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through
Walacea. Why should individuals donate?
Donations can definitely make the difference to help people affected by all the diseases that can be treated with cannabinoids. It’s important to support this kind of research to let everybody access alternative cures and choose how to take care of their body and health.

Pese a todo, el nutriente principal que alimenta CANNABIS MAGAZINE es la confianza que recibimos de nuestros lectores a lo largo de toda la geografía nacional.

1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

We have been sponsoring the MCBT since the beginning. Yes I will be riding (Luc) in the bike tour with my son!

2) Why do you support the MCBT?
The MCBT is all about uniting people from around the world and using sport to convey a positive message about cannabis. Sponsors have raised over 200,000 Euros for independent medical cannabis research. That is something to be applauded!


3) Do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?
Yes of course. If organisations such as MCBT were not raising money for independent research then we are reliant on big pharmaceutical companies , which are interested only in making profits. The MCBT research is for everyone to profit.


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through
Walacea. Why should individuals donate?
We all know people – friends, relatives – that have been affected by cancer. These clinical trials will hopefully prove that cannabis has a role to play in its treatment. If Governments don’t invest in research then it’s up to us as individuals, and part of the worldwide cannabis community, to take responsibility – even if it is just donating 5 or 10 Euros.

Company description:

Vaposhop was founded in 2008, with the mission to provide European vaporizer enthusiasts (as well as medicinal users) with high quality vaporizers and accessories and friendly service. When we started, most vaporizers available on the European market were of poor quality or had to be imported from the US. We now exclusively distribute several major brands and are in close contact with manufacturers to test and improve new vaporizers.

1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

We’ve been a sponsor of the Medical Cannabis Bike Tour for several years in a row now. No riders this year, unfortunately!

2) Why do you support the MCBT?
We believe that this medicine should be available for everyone, and that more unbiased (and improved) scientific research is one of the ways to make this happen. What’s more, it is such a complex medicine, that not only the main components are worth investigating, also the other cannabinoids (think CBD) as well as the synergy between various cannabinoids are incredibly important. Of course we are also great advocates of vaporization, and this is a related field that we believe requires more research as well, as we think it is a far superior method of administration than most current (often outdated) ways, such as smoking.


3) Do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?
It is of vital importance! Cannabis as a medicine is still in much of its infancy, and increased research will only lead to find more applications for this wonderful plant.


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through
Walacea. Why should individuals donate?
All donations are a great help to the cause, and lots of donations (whether small or big) can definitely make a difference. Crowdfunding is a great way to spread great ideas, and the MCBT is an excellent initiative that should get as much exposure (and donations) as possible!

Name: Seedsman

Company description:

Seedsman are an online cannabis seed retailer focussing on new and specialised genetics. Having been the first retailer of commercial auto-flowering genetics our focus is now on selecting strains with distinct cannabinoid profiles, often CBD enriched.

1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

No I think we have been sponsors from the start. We certainly should have been this is a great cause, and money well spent. I am afraid we don’t have any riders participating this year but we will in the future. We all have young children which currently take up a lot of time.

2) Why do you support the MCBT?
We support the MCBT for various reasons. The two prominent ones are because we hugely believe in the importance of independent research in the field of cannabinoids and cancer, and we also believe in the need to push for extra research. Our industry lies in a grey area of the law and we believe that by pushing the boundaries of science, research, sport etc we should help lift ourselves out of this grey area and do some real good at the same time.


3) Do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?
Yes it is hugely important that we fund independent research. We are already more and more reliant in our daily lives on huge corporations some of which are pharmaceutical companies. These companies do not always operate fully in the public interest, their responsibility is to their shareholders. Independent research into cannabinoids is a vital part of investigating the beneficial properties held with in cannabis in the cannabinoids and terpenes and exploration into how these compounds interact together within our bodies.


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through
Walacea. Why should individuals donate?
People should donate because they believe in the therapeutic properties held within the cannabis plant and do not necessarily want to take expensive medicines produced by big pharmaceutical companies when they could possibly buy equally efficient products from herbal medicine practitioners and the like.

Name: CBD Crew

Company description:

CBD Crew is a joint venture between Scott Blakey aka Shantibaba from Mr.Nice and Jaime Carrion from ResinSeeds aimed at producing stable CBD/THC genetics for patients to safely grow. After finding that Cannatonic from ResinSeeds had possibilities of high CBD and 1:1 THC/CBD, we saw the need to create a stable collection of seeds for people that can’t get their cannabis lab tested and keep mother plants. So we spent a few years developing, and could finally introduce the worlds first stable CBD/THC rich ( 4% < ) seed collection, CBD Crew!

 1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

We have been proud sponsors for a couple of years now, and our certificates are hanging proudly on our office wall. But we have not been as sporty as many and joined the riders yet.. all cred to them!

2) Why do you support the MCBT?
We support MCBT because we think it’s very important to get these study started and  hope it will also encourage more independent studies.  And since we already for years have known many of the people who have started this wonderful fundraising for years, we know they are true to the cause and good people and the money will go to actual research. 


3) Do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?
Yes, we think it’s very crucial that independent studies are done on cannabis, since we need studies on the whole plant and that the results are for the people to know, good or bad. 


4) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through 
Walacea. Why should individuals donate?
Individuals should donate because they would like to be a part of this wonderful study and also be a part of changing the way cannabis has been negatively portrayed for almost a century. And not to mention, maybe saving a lot of peoples’ lives in the future! So much old knowledge of cannabis as a medicinal plant has been kept away from the people, it’s about time the people got this knowledge back.

And proving this with independent medical studies is the best thing we can do at this time. Next up on the agenda is changing the laws around the world.

1) Is this your first time as an MCBT sponsor? Do you have any riders participating?

This is my second year as a sponsor. Unfortunately, my wife and I will be in the USA promoting my new book, the Cannabis Encyclopedia, and unable to participate in the Medical Cannabis Bike Tour.
2) Why do you think it’s important to fund independent medical cannabis research?

Medical cannabis research is severely lacking in the world. Independent research is essential to keep medicinal cannabis moving forward. Too often big business does research and they do not share their findings.

3) The MCBT is organising a crowd sourcing campaign through Walacea. Why should individuals donate?

www.walacea.com is an organization that filters the proposals and companies to weed out unscrupulous people. This gives security to participants. Donating to cannabis medical research is essential to bring more medicinal qualities forward.

4) Please nominate a song or a tune for a riders’ soundtrack!

I´m an old Grateful Dead Head and think that “Truckin” would be a great song for the soundtrack. Check it out, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pafY6sZt0FE
