Foreword
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
—Isaac Newton (1642–1727)
People often ask me what’s the best thing about being at the helm of SKUNK
Magazine. They usually do this while displaying a big shit eating grin, imagining
an endless sea of green provided by some of the world’s finest cannabis
connoisseurs. While it’s true that I’ve walked through grows that would rival the
Garden of Eden, it might surprise you to discover that this hardly tops my list of
perks; not even close. Rather, it’s the great people who make up our community
who are infinitely more interesting, whether they are dedicated readers, ardent
activists, informative contributors, or as in the case of the Rev, a legend in the
making.
Although the Rev wasn’t present during our inception, he has quickly become
synonymous with SKUNK, with many readers pointing to his teachings as the
primary reason they keep coming back. With the zeal of an Old World preacher,
the Rev and his True Living Organics method has started a revolution in
growing, with converts multiplying daily, all drawn to the promise of tasting
cannabis the way it was meant to be: unadulterated, natural and healthy.
Combine information on how to grow great cannabis with the unassuming
breezy style displayed by the Rev and it’s no wonder why his popularity is
surging even while espousing an approach that seems anathema to the fast paced
and frenetic world in which we live.
The Rev underwent his own conversion years ago when the former large scale
cash cropper turned his back on sinful synthetics, instead embarking on the
journey to discover and share why truly organic cannabis should be the ultimate
goal for all his disciples. Those who have been fortunate enough to sample some
of his TLO-grown gear or have grown using his teachings can clearly testify to
the difference. Tastes and smells that were long forgotten now permeate and
elevate the plant, making it the cleanest smoke you’ve ever experienced.
Some might be wondering what the Rev is really like behind the mask, and
you’d be forgiven if you assumed that all the accolades and reverence accorded
to him by his many fans and collaborators have made him fall prey to the cult of
personality and ego. Forgiven, but dead wrong; this man mimics his method and
just like TLO growing, the Rev is down to earth and real, nothing remotely
artificial within his personality. Rather than fame, money or ego, what really gets
the Rev through the night is knowing that he’s sharing his decades of knowledge
with like-minded growers eager to walk alongside the organic guru on a quest to
provide the finest and purest cannabis ever experienced.
