2006/04/04 - CTV News Toronto Cannabis Cafes Windows Media Video clip - 4 minutes.
KindRed Cafe, www.kindredcafe.com, is located at 7 Breadalbane Street which is just off of Yonge Street, just south of Wellesley. Take a look at the KindRed Cafe website, or our Guide for Visitors to, and residents of, Toronto for maps, directions and other information. KindRed Cafe is a remarkably dignified and respectable organic, fair-trade and fresh-roasted coffee shop (our custom beans delivered fresh twice a week) that will truly surprise you! Day passes, as well as monthly and annual memberships are available which allow access to our 3 private, rentable surround-sound, internet connected PC, and X-Box equipped vaporization-friendly rooms as well as our awesome smoke-friendly rooftop patio. Come join the club and be proud to call KindRed Cafe your comfy little home away from home!
Intelligent Television (ichannel) @issue documentary "Wicked Weed" (of the entire 2-hour production, here are a couple clips) - Introduction - 2 minutes (sorry for poor audio) - and Dom's Interview - 19 minutes (better audio) - from back in 2003, shortly before Bill Cameron's unfortunate and untimely passing. An outstanding human being, Rest In Peace! This was a fun and interesting interview, Bill was absolutely gifted at bringing out the information that really matters to an issue, and the opportunity to discuss all that we've been through with the Toronto Compassion Centre (TCC) and our often senseless Canadian government and the ridiculous prohibition of marijuana, as well as to demonstrate the amazing vaporization technology of the Volcano Vaporizer was pretty cool!
A smart and award-winning print advertisement for THC featuring a business card with a piece missing - gee, wonder what that's for?
We had the honour of hosting an Entertainment Tonight (ET Canada) interview with Tommy Chong in our shop, and the pleasure of experiencing first-hand the kindness that is Tommy. What a nice guy! - Tommy Chong chatting with Dom - Tommy Chong with Amanda and Cory - Tommy Chong and THC people group shot. In case you don't recall, Tommy (originally a Canadian and still full of love for our great Nation) had recently been released after spending many months in prison for his involvement with Chong Glass, a high-quality supplier of glass pipes and glass water pipes, many of which bore not only Tommy's name, but also his likeness and often his autograph! Yes, Tommy is just that cool! Let's hope those damn crazy U.S. federales leave him alone from now on!

We told you this place was incredible! What, you didn't believe us? Well, if you think it looks good in pictures, just wait until you see this unbelievable organic, fresh-roasted, fair-trade coffee shop with members-only private meeting rooms and rooftop smoke-friendly patio in person! Membership is inexpensive (starting with day passes for only $5 and monthly memberhips for only $20, yearly only $100) and is so amazingly well worth the minimal expense! Oh, and if you're a member of the Toronto Compassion Centre (TCC) or a Health Canada exemptee, you can cut those prices in half! You won't believe how dignified and comfortable a spot this is!
Jack Herer, "Emperor of Hemp", wearing his new KindRed Cafe hemp t-shirt. Jack's one extra-special guy, whose book 'The Emperor Wears No Clothes' has enlightened generations of people from all over the world about the incredible story of the Cannabis / Hemp Plant and its use and prohibition. Jack's a true hero of the people, and we're honored to have him in our threads and his picture here!
A recent article written about us in the National Post tells much of the THC story quite nicely.

2005/06/07 - Holy crap! We made it (sort of) onto The Daily Show with Jon Stewart! The clip is titled "Joint Decision" - Those buds in the beginning were filmed at the Toronto Compassion Centre (TCC), that's our boy Jim weighing them, and if you look real close you can see a little THC flyer (green, with a bong and herb leaf) stuck to the wall in the background! - If you have trouble with this link, here's a low-quality recording of the clip in a downloadable 10MB Windows Media Video file - 3 minutes
2005/04/22 Earth Day Rogers "Daytime Toronto" Hemp Clothing showcase: Downloadable Windows Media Video Clip - 8 minutes. A little Earth Day fashion show featuring some of our Toronto Hemp Company (THC) family and some of our excellent variety of modern and affordable hemp and hemp-blended clothing and accessories. THC's Founding Director Dom Cramer sits down with the Daytime Toronto hosts to call out the fashion show procession and discuss hemp and some of the surrounding issues on this silly but fun little daytime talk show.

Overall message: Health Canada's poorly planned 11th hour effort to save the MMAR is unacceptable. Legitimize our nation's Compassion Centres - they have proven their integrity and effectiveness while Health Canada has proven its unwillingness to help sick Canadians.

We have a good few celebrity visitors and friends. Most of them we wouldn't mention (out of respect), but there are a few that we would mention (also out of respect). Some of the kind celebs who've passed through include:
Woody Harrelson 2 3
Red1 of Rascalz (www.rascalz.ca) - Another Pic - And Another - Another for 2006
William Sadler, skilled actor and all-round kind and wise guy. (Shawshank Redemption, Green Mile, Die Hard 2, etc.)
Ross Rebagliati, first ever gold-medal olympic snowboarder - (autographed High Times article)
DJ Hurricane, Big L, and Bobo
Busta Rhymes pic2 pic3 (Busta was kind enough to chill with, and have a custom pipe made for him by, one of our glassblowers Cory - later mentioned in Peace! Magazine).
Others not pictured include Mr. T, DMX, G-Squad etc. etc.
Here's a shot of the autograph in our copy of G.R.A.S.S. by "Emperor of Hemp" Jack Herer. Check out Jack's website and his amazing "Double Barrel Double Venturi Ricocheting Vortex Effect" Pipe system (thanks Jack!), which we are proud to have at THC.
Here's a shot of the autograph on a High Times centerfold featuring the ridiculously sweet "Berry Berry" (easily one of my favorites strains), by our bud NYPD. It says: To Dom and The T.H.C. Crew, "KEEP THE DREAM GREEN." NYPD, by the way.
Here's a shot of the autograph in our copy of The Big Book Of Buds by "Grow Guru" Ed Rosenthal.
We've also had stuff from our store (and personal collections) used in a bunch of movies, possibly the most notable of which being Half Baked, which was actually pretty good. Half Baked features many great actors and cameo appearances, including: Dave Chappelle as Thurgood Jenkins/Sir Smoke-a-Lot, Guillermo Díaz as Scarface, Jim Breuer as Brian, Harland Williams as Kenny Davis, Rachel True as Mary Jane Potman, Clarence Williams III as Samson Simpson, Laura Silverman as Jan, and Tommy Chong as Squirrel Master. Also notable is perhaps the only non-annoying appearance ever of Bob Saget!
Here's a picture featuring "Billy Bong Thorton," made by our friends at Homeblown Glassworks
And here's another picture from Half Baked
