Hydrolife Canada February/March 2017
It is amazing how an event from almost 20 years ago can remain fresh in the mind. It certainly doesn’t seem that long ago that Canadian Ross Rebagliati rocketed down Nagano’s Olympic giant slalom snowboard course, ripping through the finish line to claim the first-ever Olympic men’s snowboarding gold medal despite starting the final run in eighth position. Since then, Rebagliati has become a cultural phenomenon and advocate of marijuana
use, and it is no coincidence that since that foggy day on Mount Yakebitai near Nagano, how we perceive the use of marijuana in society has changed for the better. Hydrolife recently caught up with Rebagliati to talk about Nagano, his thoughts on marijuana, and the launch of Ross’ Gold.

Simply add your favourite seeds or cuttings, tell the app what you planted, and let the machine do its thing. Each kit comes complete with a carbon filter, one coco pod, and all the nutrients you’ll need to grow one plant to its maximum potential. Just top up the nutrients and water, and clean the filter, when the app tells you. – grobo.io 2. The Genius Pipe is sleek, simple, and discreet—but what makes it so, well, genius? The 2,000 little dimples lining the inside of the anodized aluminum device. When you inhale through the pipe, these dimples create thousands of tiny vortices that cool the smoke to room temperature and catch impurities before it enters your lungs. This leads to a more pleasant, tasty, and guaranteed cough-free experience. – geniuspipe.com 3. Need to restore some some balance in your life? Evoxe Labs’ Balance CBD self-contained vape pen is loaded with 99.6 per cent pure hemp-derived CBD isolate and hemp stalk extracts to act as a natural pain reliever, antiinflammatory, sleep aid, and relaxant. Also, frankincense, ylang ylang, geranium, and tangerine essential oils give this non-psychoactive device a flavourful boost, as well as refresh and cleanse the body, awaken the senses, and lift mood. – evoxelabs.com 4.

5 7 6 8 5. While cannabis and creativity go hand-inhand, forgetfulness sometimes likes to thirdwheel—especially if you overindulge. You know how it goes: you come up with an amazing idea only to completely forget it a few minutes later. Thankfully, you’ll never have that issue again if you keep the pocket-sized, 32-page Brilliant Ideas I had While Stoned Notebook handy. Just remember to use it. – coolmaterial.com 6. Legal sparkling tonics aren’t your normal soft drinks. The ready-to-drink concoctions are made of simple, allnatural ingredients: just water, fruit, agave, and cannabis extract. Choose from Pomegranate Power Tonic for an uplifting sativa high, Lemon Ginger Dream Tonic for a super-chill indica high, Rainier Cherry Joy Tonic for a blissed-out hybrid high, and Cranberry Peace Tonic for a well-rounded TCH/CBD combo high. Each bottle contains two full servings, so it’s perfect for sharing or spreading out over two days. – mirthprovisions.com 7. Streamline your cannabis experience with the Nuggy, a ten-in-one gadget designed specifically for smokers. It has everything you need for rolling, grinding, packing, scooping, shredding, dabbing, vaping, scraping, and poking: a knife, roach clip, tamper, mini-spoon, glass-safe bowl scraper, bottle opener, pick/poker, and scissors. There’s even a LED flashlight and flathead screwdriver because, hey, you never know when you’ll need them. As an added safety bonus, all the stainless-steel tools in this slick everyday carry item are spring-locked. – nugtools.com 8. The secret to success for Skunk Guard’s Smellproof Bags lies in their patented, top-of-the line activated carbon technology and silver antibacterial lining. The activated carbon absorbs molecules in its proximity, much like how a sponge absorbs water on contact. This not only neutralizes odours but also traps harmful chemicals and gases in its pores. – skunkbags.com myhydrolife.ca grow. heal. live. enjoy. 11
