“Wow, I’m in shock.. I have never won anything before in my life and have been wanting one of these awesome machines ever since I’d heard about them. I never dreamed this would happen, thank you so very much to everyone involved. Keep up the great work with the magazine by the way!”

No worries Anonymous winner, we hope you have a lot of fun with this machine.

We also have the great news that Issue 6 of StickyPoint is not far away. As a sneak peak, here is a look at the cover so you know what you are looking for on the shelves.

The up-coming issue of StickyPoint is centred around medicinal use of cannabis. Dr John Jiggens has an interesting story on the history of cannabis as a medicine, looking into the works of Dr William Brook O’Shaughnessy and the understanding and emergence of the Central-Asian Cannabis Indica.  We also have a story from Treating Yourself editor Marco Renda, detailing his trials & tribulations of being a certified medical cannabis user in Canada.

On top of that, we have an excellent interview with Speech (one of the main members of the soulful Arrested Development), an interview with Adelaide-based hip-hop duo the Roach Scholars as well as our featured artists and a tonne of budshots.

The Spin Trim is a gentle and effortless hand operated leaf trimming machine, which we had to see to believe. We were amazed at its effeciency despite how simplistic the machine appears to be… and the quality of the end result is simply awesome. No more seized up scissors and white knuckles. No more pain-staking hours of cut, cut, cuttity cut.

Competition is open to all Australians, entries close March 10th 2009. To enter, complete the simple form below… that’s it! Entry limited to 1 entry per person.

StickyPoint Issue 6 will be hitting the shelves in the new year.

Issue 5 should be hitting the shelves in the coming days, so keep an eye out. From a distance the cover appears as a regular budshot, but as you get closer, you’ll see that it is in fact a photo mosaic of smaller bud shots and other weed pics.

From time to time we get emails from people asking where they can buy the magazine. Our website has a store locator, listing retailers who can stock our magazine. If you find a store on the list that doesn’t stock the magazine, ask them if they can order it in. We have heard that some newsagents don’t feel comfortable having our magazine on the shelves, or believe that people aren’t interested in “that sort of thing”.

In conjunction with the release of Issue 5, we have a couple of SoloPipes up for grabs!* For those of you who prefer to indulge in your smoke through a pipe, you will find this little device not only cool, but effective and efficient. No more 2-hand effort required…

Winners will be drawn on September 30th.

*Entry open to Australian residents only. 1 Entry per person
