99 High Tide Co-Founder
Yvonne “99” DeLaRosa Green
Yvonne DeLaRosa Green is an international actress, activist and visionary in
the world of cannabis collectives and legalization. Yvonne’s activist roots
began from a very young age through meeting and learning from the late
cannabis activist and author Jack Herer. She would later use her knowledge of
the healing benefits of cannabis when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. It
was then that Yvonne took her mother to many dispensaries and realized there
was a need to create a dispensary that not only carried the highest quality
products but provided a place for patients to feel welcome and be treated with
the best customer service in an aesthetically pleasing environment. This led
Yvonne to establish the 99 High Art Collective in Venice Beach, CA, which
was considered to be one of the most lovely and innovative collectives in Los
Angeles and was later heralded by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the best
collectives in all of California. As an entrepreneur, Yvonne successfully
branded 99 High Art as not only a collective but as a center for healing and
visionary art, seamlessly blending these worlds into a new model of healing,
beauty and excellence for the entire industry. Armed with a masters degree in
film and television from UCLA, Yvonne has gone on to create award-winning
projects and documentaries, as well as garnering awards as an actor for various
film/ TV projects. She continues to use her knowledge of the film industry and
her celebrity in the entertainment and cannabis industries to assist in spreading
the word for cannabis and all of its benefits. She has appeared in such television
shows as NCIS, CSI: Miami, How I Met Your Mother, King of Queens, The
Closer, Law & Order, Longmire, NYPD Blue, Weeds, and played the lead role
in her very own FOX series entitled Señor White opposite comedian Ron
White. Yvonne's dedication and earnest desire to help others is evident in all of
her work, be it in film, television, community outreach or cannabis business and
education. She embodies the true essence of an American visionary and wishes
to preserve and enhance those ideals by creating a space that serves the
community and adheres to the highest possible standards of quality and care.
99 High Tide Co Founder/Master Grower
Samuel Huntington Boyer
Descended from one of the founding fathers of the United States
of America, Sam Huntington Boyer was named after one of his
great-grandfathers, Sam Huntington, one of the original signers of
the Declaration Of Independence - a document written, fatefully
enough, on hemp paper. Generations later, this legacy now
continues as Sam has become one of the pioneers in this industry.
Previously, Sam was an award-winning filmmaker who got his
start in extreme sports films and documentaries. Sam's films have
garnered him several awards, honors and official selections to
myriad festivals, including the Sundance Film Festival. It was
during his travels filming throughout the world that Sam would
meet his mentor, Master Grower Rik Shiva. At the age of 58, Rik
had also traveled the world, but his mission was to gather the best
cannabis genetics in order to breed a superior cannabis strain. He
accomplished this goal before his untimely passing three years
ago. During Sam's tutelage under Rik, Sam learned to master his
art of cannabis cultivation before gaining the genetics that he has
successfully grown into some of the most revered strains known in
the world of cannabis. Possessing a business degree from
California State University, Northridge, Sam has successfully
owned and operated multiple businesses including the 99 High Art
Collective in Venice Beach, CA and currently the 99 High Tide
Collective in Malibu, CA. The healing and medicinal benefits
from the use of medical marijuana are one of the driving forces
behind Sam's drive to create and perfect his business and craft. By
doing so, he endeavors to honor his historical roots with his work
at the forefront of this revolutionary industry.
Yvonne DeLaRosa Green, founder of the 99 High Tide Collective, gave an emotional speech in support of medical marijuana soon after the
ribbon was cut. She asked those in attendance to hold hands and pray along with her. "I want to thank Creator for giving us this sacred plant
that has helped so many people like my mother with cancer and my god child with epilepsy, " Green said.
Actress/Activist and 99 High Tide Co-founder, Yvonne DeLaRosa Green and partner Sam Boyer celebrate
their Grand Opening Ribbon cutting ceremony with Tommy Chong and former Malibu Mayor Skylar Peak.

DEFENDING DISPENSARIES
The media likes to portray California’s, medical –marijuana
dispensaries as some kind of out-of-control “Wild West”, but
our insiders look reveals that America’s $2-trillion-per-year
health-care industry could learn an awful lot from the best
medical –cannabis collectives when it comes to putting patients
before profits. By David Bienenstock
At the 99 High Art Collective in Venice, the founder, Yvonne, was
inspired to open a combination medical-marijuana dispensasry and art
gallery for more personal reasons. "When my mother was diagnosed
with cancer, I knew it was time to share with her every thing I knew
about marijuana. So I decided to create a place where my mother and
all medical marijuana patients could feel safe, comfortable and joyful
acquiring their medicine.
The 99 High Art Collective
featured in High Times
Magazine as one of
California’s “…best
medical-cannabis
collectives…”
Yvonne explains, "I never understood why healing had to be done in a
sterile environment, devoid of art, love, music, and good vibes. We
believe that there is an art to healing and healing is an art- to us they
are inseparable. ".
Again the focus is not just on cannabis, but community, compassion
and creativity as well - three powerfully healing forces that the
modern health industry not only fails to foster, but wouldn't even
recognize unless you figured out a way to slap a price tag on them.

Bud Lover is a blog written by two friends who also happen to be women. In the spirit of celebrating female
entrepreneurs, we bring you "Stiletto Stoner", a monthly column profiling our favorite female tastemakers,
activists, canna-business owners, and beyond.
Bud Lover is very honored to have the lovely Yvonne (aka 99) Founder of the 99 High Art Collective and
Gallery, as our very first Stiletto Stoner. Enjoy the interview!
Please tell us about your collective and philosophy on herbal medicine.
"The 99 High Art Collective was born from the need to have a place of sanctuary, healing and art to inspire
people to heal themselves through higher consciousness plant medicine. When my mother was suffering from
breast cancer, it was Marijuana to the rescue. I wanted to create a space that you could bring your mother to,
and also your friends. A place where the community could come together and heal through art and plants and
music. My philosophy is easy... Art and healing are inseparable.“

The 99 High Art Collective in Venice Beach…” “…operates as a gallery that hosts
artists, book readings and yoga classes…” “…the collective offers a menu of
medicinal pot for delivery, carting strains like "Dragon's Breath" and "Mr. Nice" to
patients' doors.
“We deliver” is the new call of shuttered pot merchants who, rather than
going quietly into the night, have gone the Domino’s Pizza route instead.
According to the Wall Street Journal, while some closed pot shops wait
quietly for the courts to lift the rules that shut down over 400 of the city’s
pot collectives, others, like the 99 High Art Collective in Venice Beach, have
simply gone mobile.

Medical Marijuana, Inc. (MMI), the first company to
acknowledge opportunities in the quickly inflating medical
marijuana market, are set to employ a tax remittance card
during the last quarter of the year. Customers receive a
debit or medical revenue card to use with a POS system that
is set to recognize tax ID numbers and tax rates, thus
ensuring security in transactions. Another effective effort
put in place by MMI is the elimination of cash, which also
deters loss not only from the customers, but also from the
businesses. In conjunction with this new stance on medical
marijuana, The 99 High Art Collective will launch a special
gallery exhibiting psychedelic art by renowned Venice Beach
artist, Dean Chamberlain, featuring portraits of Terrence
McKenna and Ram Dass among many others, as well as
becoming a distributor of medical marijuana. This is the
13th Cannabis Collective to use the new tax remittance
card. Part of the proceeds received from art sales will go to
The Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies
(MAPS), an established supporter of medicinal marijuana
research. The brains behind the project, Yvonne aka 99,
hopes the gallery/collective hybrid will inspire healing on
not only a physical level, but mentally as well, stating
that, We believe that art and healing are inseparable.
AYAHUASCA VISIONS ART EXHIBIT
OPENS IN VENICE
On November 6th, I attended the first North American show
opening of “AYAHUASCA VISIONS” – Sacred Art from the
Amazon” by Pablo Amaringo, the father of Neo-Amazonica art,
and works by Mita and Moises, at the 99 High Art Collective in
Venice, CA.
These paintings are a portal into the spirit world. They remind us
of our abilities to heal through art and through the higher
consciousness of plant wisdom. ”The 99 High Art Collective seeks
to expand minds, hearts and souls with their exclusive NeoAmazonica exhibit, which runs through December 31st, 2009.
Considered one of the world’s greatest visionary artists, Pablo
Amaringo is renowned for his highly complex, colorful and
intricate paintings of his visions from drinking the ayahuasca
brew. As noted by visionary artist, Robert Venosa, “The high
mission of art, through its illusions, is to foreshadow higher states
of realities, and no one does this better in the depiction of the
Ayahuascan worlds than Pablo.”
Pablo Amaringo is curator in chief of a Museum of the
Marvelous, a gallery situated in a parallel dimension where the
demons and spirits, plant-teachers and sprites of the shamanic
world accessed through Ayahuasca are all too real… Pablo’s
eidetic memory, his recall of his extensive journeys in alternate
realities, combine with his artistic skills to create a visual record of
an invisible landscape that few others will ever explore. His
reputation as the master artist of shamanic worlds is honestly
come by, and well-deserved.
- Dennis McKenna, Ph.D.
Enthopharmacologist, Author, Researcher, Visionary and Co-Author
with brother Terence McKenna of “The Invisible Landscape”
Each painting in the exhibit took me into another world and other
dimensions of reality and the entire exhibit is transcendent. If you
are interested in what lies beyond the ordinary waking state, you
will enjoy this exhibit.
Cannabis Clubs Go Mobile: Get Your Weed Delivered TODAY
By Emily Green Things We Love
L
.A.'s marijuana smoking isn't going to let that pesky ordinance that's forced the shutdown of over 400
of the city's weed shops get in the way of their bong rip frequency and steady supply of greenery. So what
to do when you can't operate your business out of a shop? Go mobile, duh! The 99 High Art Collective on
Abbot Kinney in Venice has started a delivery service and posted the following message on their website
announcing the news to their loyal patients:
“The 99 High Art Collective acknowledged as the preeminent force in all things psychedelic, visionary art
and medical marijuana will be debuting its delivery service on June 7th, 2010. We invite all current patients
to indulge in the convenience of prompt and effortless deliveries throughout the Westside, including
Malibu, Pacific Palisades, and beyond. 10am to 10pm. Same great strains, prices, and love."
Brilliant! Who wouldn't want to have their weed delivered?? It's just like ordering pizza, with an extensive
online delivery menu to choose from. So have no fear, friends -- just because the weed shop around the
corner got the shutter doesn't mean it can't exist and keep you in a nice comfy haze. It's going to be a
great summer.

~My Way IS the High Way. ~
I have a friend who is 89 years old. I call her Miss E. She has scoliosis,
among other health problems. Her twisted body is filled with tiny,
excruciating fractures. In the few years I’ve known her, she has been in
constant pain. “My back is killing me,” is something I heard her say pretty
much every day.
Cut to Abbot Kinney Boulevard in Venice, California: The 99 High Art Gallery,
a medical marijuana collective that boldly crossed the line into the fun zone.
In fact, I found out about them in ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE.
Every Friday at 99 they had ‘Get Happier Hour’. Trust me, that was a scene.
And it was a lot of fun. But aside from all the amazing people I met there,
especially the lovely 99 herself, I got turned on to something far more
important than a cool scene and fun new friends. (Medical Marijuana).
I’d expected medical marijuana to help me. But never in my wildest dreams
did I think I’d hear Miss E. say her back feels fine. And that, your honor, is
because of the happy scene created around medical marijuana at the 99
High Art Gallery and Medical Marijuana Collective on Abbot Kinney
Boulevard in Venice, California.
