Readers react to stories from last week. On April 11, we reported on a new map put together by American Addiction Centers that estimates how near Florida residents live to a methamphetamine lab. According to the for-profit rehab company, Florida has busted 877 methamphetamine manufacturing sites over the last decade, and this interactive map – which uses data collected by the Drug Enforcement Agency from 2007 to 2017 – lets you find out just how far the nearest one is from your humble abode.

– a hefty number compared to the nearly $900,000 reported by the Florida Democratic Party. The GOP’s largest donor was the private-prison giant Geo Group Inc, which sent in a total of three checks for $160,000. The next largest donor in Q1 was Disney, which provided five checks totaling $135,000. Another sizable and noteworthy contribution came from Orlando attorney John Morgan’s law firm Morgan & Morgan, which gave the Florida GOP a single check for $75,000 on Jan. 4.

@Annie Dudley OMG, 0.35 miles from what used to be a clandestine lab!

@Luci Rowe Disappointing about John Morgan. “For the people,” my ass – apparently for only certain people.

@Donny Snider Less than a mile away. Cops just busted it a couple months ago. They missed at least a dozen more within a mile of that one, though.

@Ashley Nicole John Morgan is confused. He wants to raise the minimum wage, legalize marijuana, but donates to the right. Makes no sense.

@Brittany Cook 0.86, what do I win? On April 11, we reported on the Republican Party of Florida’s massive contributions haul of over $5.1 million in the first quarter of 2019

@Cayla Parks So it’s a contest to see who can sell the most laws to the most moneyed special interests waving their ill-ventured cash. Nice system we got.

Orange County launches affordable housing task force, ACLU issues Florida travel advisory for immigrants and people of color, SeaWorld lawyer charged with insider trading, and other news you may have missed last week. »

Trump administration wants to sell access to Florida’s coastal waters for oil and gas drilling: Politico was first to report that the Trump

administration’s Interior Department is weighing such a plan. Multiple oil and gas industry executives told Politico that the eastern Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic coast are included in the administration’s current five-year offshore drilling plan, which hasn’t yet been released. What’s holding up the release of the plan, for now, is that many within the Interior Department are waiting for the U.S. Senate to confirm acting Secretary David Bernhardt to lead the agency.

ACLU warns immigrants, people of color that their rights might be violated while visiting Florida: The travel advisory comes as a response

to two proposed bills in the Florida Legislature, SB 168 and HB 527, which aim to prohibit sanctuary policies and require state and local governments, as well as law enforcement officials, to support the enforcement of federal immigration law. The Southern Poverty Law Center, Farmworkers Association of Florida and Florida Immigrant Coalition are among the coalition of civil rights and immigrants rights groups to issue the advisory.

Orange County launches task force to combat Central Florida’s affordable housing crisis: Last week, Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings

launched the “Housing for All” task force, a six-month effort to find practical solutions to the region’s ongoing affordable housing crisis. The 38-member committee has been tasked with providing lasting efforts “to change the narrative around housing availability and affordability,” Demings said. Demings also noted that upward of 110,000 Orange County households spend more than 30 percent of their gross income on housing, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

SEC charges SeaWorld lawyer with insider trading: As SeaWorld Entertainment’s associate general counsel and assistant secretary, Paul B. Powers had access to the theme park company’s key revenue information. After receiving a confidential draft of SeaWorld’s 2018 second-quarter earnings that showed a strong financial performance on Aug. 1, Powers allegedly purchased 18,000 shares of SeaWorld stock the next day, according to the complaint filed by the SEC in Orlando at the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida. Four days later, when SeaWorld’s earnings release went public on Aug. 6 with the company’s stock up 17 percent, Powers sold his SeaWorld shares for about $65,000 in illicit profits, the SEC says.

Orlando’s Heritage Square is getting a marker acknowledging July Perry’s 1920 lynching: Orlando city commissioners unanimously

approved a measure last week that calls for the placement of a historical marker in downtown Orlando’s Heritage Square acknowledging the 1920 murder of July Perry. Heritage Square, which sits next to the Orange County Regional History Center, is near where Perry, an African American farmer, was shot and lynched by a white mob in Orlando after he encouraged Ocoee’s black residents to vote on Election Day 1920.

Nearly 25,000 Florida students are unvaccinated because of ‘religious exemptions’: Every state allows parents to avoid vaccinating their

child for medical reasons, but it would appear that a large portion of Florida parents are getting away with not vaccinating their kids for purportedly religious reasons. Last week, the Tampa Bay Times released a report stating that nearly 25,000 students in Florida schools are currently unvaccinated by religious exemption, a number that has exploded by 375 percent since 2011. orlandoweekly.com

ABOVE THE LAW Trump thinks laws apply to other people, not to him. Luckily, his hacks can’t get anything done BY JE FFREY C. BILL M A N

In the last few weeks, we’ve learned the following:

• Donald Trump would like to do away with immigration courts, which he finds inefficient in deporting asylum seekers. (Exact quote: “We have to do something about asylum. And to be honest with you, you have to get rid of judges.”) • During a recent trip to the border, Trump told Border Patrol agents to ignore judges’ orders if they were inconvenient. (The agents’ superiors quickly told them that, yes, they had to follow the law.) • Trump unloaded his secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, for being insufficiently “tough” on migrants, including refusing his demand for a blanket rejection of all asylum applications – which would have been illegal. Nielsen had, however, unflinchingly enforced Trump’s zero-tolerance policy, which led to a humanitarian crisis of thousands of children being separated from their parents and some held in cages. • Trump then hired Nielsen’s “acting” replacement, the head of Customs and Border Protection – another willing participant in the family-separation efforts – after assuring him that, should he break the law, Trump would pardon him. (Inducing a federal official to violate federal law could be construed as an impeachable offense.) • During the shutdown, Trump’s White House considered dumping asylum seekers in so-called sanctuary cities as a form of political retribution against Democrats. Immigration and Customs Enforcement lawyers rejected the idea as inappropriate, and the White House told the Washington Post in a statement that “this was just a suggestion that was floated and rejected.” The White House statement was soon contradicted by the president’s Twitter account; on Friday, Trump tweeted that he was giving “very strong consideration” to the plan.

America, at his failure to fulfill a campaign promise and build a wall, at the legal and institutional impediments that serve as a check on his power. Trump is suffering the fate of all conmen who believe their own bullshit. Or, at least, he’s run headlong into the limits of his own tough talk. If anything, his electiontime rants about “caravans” of “invaders” last year, combined with his failure to stop people from coming, served as advertisements for those caravans; they’ve ramped up significantly in the first part of 2019. More important, though, Trump has spent his entire term focused on a pointless solution to yesterday’s problem. A wall is designed to stop people from sneaking into the country to settle permanently. By and large, that’s not what’s happening. Rather, families are stepping foot onto American soil, seeking out border agents, and declaring asylum – as is their legal right. A wall won’t – can’t – stop them from doing that. Border resources have become overwhelmed not due to an overload of immigrants, but because there’s a huge backlog in the immigration court system, which gums up the entire process of adjudicating asylum claims; there aren’t enough judges. There’s also a weeks-long backlog at some legal ports of entry, as the administration has been throttling the number of claims it will process at those entry points a day. The idea was to force asylum seekers to cross illegally, while the administration enforced a new policy that would prevent illegal border crossers from seeking asylum. A court struck that down in November. Trump has also cut off aid to the three Central American countries – El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala – where most of the migrants are coming from, under the, All of these stories share a common well, interesting theory that making conditions there worse will prevent people thread: frustration. Trump is frustrated at his own feckless- from fleeing. In short, Donald Trump has created a ness – at his inability to stop migrants from fleeing poverty and violence in Central real-life version of the immigration crisis his

campaign invented, and he’s proven himself powerless to stop it. So he’s thrashing about, pushing the limits of the law, convinced that if only everyone got out of his way, he could fix everything. And in that sense, those five stories share a common thread with these two, which also came to light last week: • The Treasury Department has refused to release Trump’s tax returns to congressional Democrats, defying a federal law that requires it to do so. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin has said that complying with Democrats’ April 23 deadline would amount to “weaponizing” the IRS. On Sunday, the president’s press secretary said Congress was not “smart enough” to understand Trump’s taxes, which, well, isn’t exactly grounds for ignoring a legal request. • Trump’s hand-picked attorney general, William Barr, has not only so far refused to release either the report or the special counsel’s summaries of it, but he’s also now investigating the alleged motives of the investigators and accusing federal agents, without evidence, of “spying” on the Trump campaign – indulging the tinfoil-hat conspiracies of a president who has alleged that the investigation into his campaign was tantamount to treason. Taken together, these stories should be sobering – additions to the ever-growing mountain of evidence that Trump views the rule of law as something that applies to other people, not to him. It’s easy to get hyperbolic discussing Trump’s authoritarian inclinations. As much as he’s degraded American institutions and norms, they’ve not broken, just bent. And it’s important, too, to maintain perspective: Trump hasn’t (yet) started two decades-long wars and nearly tanked the global economy, as the last Republican president did. The difference is that George W. Bush was surrounded by political actors who knew how the system worked and how to work the system – men like Donald Rumsfeld and Dick Cheney, who could effectively turn malignant philosophies into catastrophic policy. Trump is surrounded by hacks and low-rent ideologues. Whatever his halfbaked authoritarian impulses, they’ve had a hell of a time making them a reality. In other words, Trump’s incompetence has been our saving grace. Let’s hope that continues. feedback@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

APRIL 17-23, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

Oh hi! Welcome to our annual 420 Issue, in which we cover all things “high-minded” in the Sunshine State. Marijuana is serious business in Florida right now: politically, economically and medically, anyway. And while we haven’t caught up to the 10 states where recreational marijuana is legal, most people feel that it’s only a matter of time. If our Legislature has anything to do with it – and they do! – that’ll be the longest period of time possible, preferably an infinite indefinite era while they drag their feet on implementing the will of the people. But meanwhile, in reality if not in law, cannabis is not just an industrial product or a medicine; it’s also part of a pleasurable, pain-free life. So that’s how we’ve covered the issue: We have an interview with Nikki Fried, the state cabinet member who oversees medicinal and industrial usage; a roundup of recent legislative actions (or shall we say inaction) and a guide on what to expect if you go for an MMJ card; as well as a recipe for luxurious chocolate canna-truffles to munch on while we wait for the state to sort out legal edibles. To round it all out, there’s a glossary for those who are too embarrassed to admit they don’t know their flower from their dab (hint: not the dance move). So here you go, high rollers. Enjoy.

HURRY UP AND WAIT

they need to make sure that they have enough access, and having a 10 percent cap really does preclude them from wanting to actually buy flower. And if they were to take it off the shelf, what would they do with it? Just a controlled burn, or how does that work? No, what they would do is they would then take the current flower and make it into other products, whether it’s tincture or … process them through edibles, or another kind of vape pen. So they would use for it other things, they just wouldn’t be able to sell it as whole flower.

Floridians are impatient with the delays the Legislature keeps putting in front of legal medical marijuana. New Commissioner of Agriculture Nikki Fried is on their side BY XANDER P ETERS

s Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services (and the only Democrat to win statewide office in 2018), Nikki Fried is responsible for regulating cannabis in all its legal applications in Florida. That means not just overseeing medical marijuana usage but also the sale and manufacture of CBD products and agricultural and industrial hemp, as well as working with the Legislature to make and enforce policy. She’ll be helped by Holly Bell, the state’s (and possibly the nation’s) first cannabis director. Bell has a banking background, not an agricultural or marijuanarelated one, so there was some disappointment over the choice. But Fried’s expectations are high that Bell will be able to untangle the mess around financial services for dispensaries and nurseries, who, due to federal banking regulations, often have to deal completely in cash. Orlando Weekly spoke to Fried about the state of the state in terms of legal marijuana usage and possible future policy. Here’s our conversation, condensed and edited for clarity. OW: Commissioner Fried, with smokable medical marijuana finally getting the OK, what’s the next major issue looming over Floridian medical marijuana patients? NF: One of the most looming issues is access to healthcare. Right now all these patients are having to dole out essentially a thousand dollars a month for their medicine. That’s on top of the amount it costs to go to the doctor and then actually getting your card from the Department of Health. So these high costs at the dispensaries – [it’s] still more [expensive] than the black market. To be able to get them access to health insurance to cover the copays and annual visits will be a total game-changer if we can get that accomplished here in the state. Why do you think smokable medical marijuana is a crucial option for patients in Florida? I’ve talked to so many patients across the state, across the country, who’ve had their immune system shocked, and are looking for the purest forms of delivery. Giving them the access to smoke flower or to choose – to basically make sure it’s in its purest form – is really helping a lot of patients. This is very crucial for a lot of patients. And to be quite honest, for some of our senior citizens, this is complicated. This new generation, we all created vape pens and shatter and all these different types of things, and when you’re 65 years old, look, all you know and understand is flower. And so making sure that they’re comfortable with their medicine is also very crucial. 22

NIKKI FRIED | PHOTO VIA COMMISSIONER’S WEBSITE

My editor and I were actually talking about that, how some people could kind of just bow out because it intimidates them – all the options. Yep, absolutely. I’ve gone into dispensaries and I obviously am extremely knowledgable of all the different products and everything, and I’ll walk into a dispensary and I get confused, you know? What’s the different between ratios and different strands, hybrids and – you know, it’s just different and it’s hard to tell somebody who’s a little bit older to try it, to try new stuff. And they’re just like, “Well, I’m used to smoking. Why can’t I just have my flower?” [Editor’s note: If you, too, find yourself somewhat bewildered by the new terminology and gadgetry, take a look at our weed glossary, page 29.] Do you expect a similar confusion among lawmakers for future changes to medical or even legalization initiatives? You know, whenever you bring new technologies or new types of things into our state, everybody’s a little bit hesitant. For those of us who live, breathe and survive in our industry, we think it’s common sense. But if you’re not familiar with medical marijuana, or you’re not familiar with hemp, you’re going to be apprehensive to make sure that people aren’t pulling a fast one over you, and just aren’t as comfortable with the conversation. But any time anything new comes, especially with public health – that’s scary to some people, and of course there’s all these industries fighting in the big hospitals and, you know, that don’t want cannabis as an option. Any time you have a new technology or a new industry coming into a state you’re always going to get those battles. Speaking of battles – the THC cap that lawmakers are currently attempting to pass. How could that go wrong for patients? It could go very wrong. Are you talking about the 10 percent cap [for flower]? Yeah. You know, the reality is that there is very few, if any, growers out there that grow the flower at 10 percent THC. So you’re going to basically take all of the flower that’s currently been grown, or is in the process of being sold in our state, and take it off the shelves. And to be quite honest, 10 percent THC is not going to be useful for those patients. Patients that are suffering from debilitating conditions, that are using flower and using medical marijuana as an alternative medicine,

ORLANDO WEEKLY ● APRIL 17-23, 2019 ● orlandoweekly.com

OK, that makes sense. Do you think expanded access to the state’s medical marijuana program could help combat Florida’s opioid epidemic? Without a doubt. We’ve seen statistics all across the country that any time that there’s a medical marijuana program, or even when they get to legalization, there’s a 20 to 30 percent decrease in opioid overdoses. So I think for us here in our state, for these patients that are taking opiates and are addicted to it, [if they] have another alternative relief for their pain, we’ll see that same drastic decrease as well. We need to get it on the registry we’re allowed to [prescribe MMJ] to people who are suffering from the opiate epidemic. Given those same statistics, why aren’t we seeing a more all-hands-on-deck effort from state lawmakers? You know, that is a great question. I ask that every single day. [laughs] There’s politics involved, unfortunately. And the problem is, in a legislative session, they’re just apprehensive to file medical marijuana bills. So we’re just not seeing a move to really alter or expand the program in the current legislative session. But that makes me motivated in fighting to make sure that we have those changes in future legislative sessions. In your opinion, is there a path forward for legalization? Not through the Legislature! My hope is that people understand across the state that 71 percent of us voted for medical marijuana and the Legislature continues to mess up the program upon implementation, and that hopefully [it can be put] on the ballot and go forward with that in a constitutional amendment. Or, we have been working really hard up in D.C. to get either declassification or reclassification of cannabis. So hopefully one of those two will unravel in the next five years. So it’s pretty much a game of hurry up and wait. Yeah. What sort of economic impact do you envision with the legalization of marijuana in Florida? Tremendous. Colorado – when they were able to legalize a product that is able to be taxed, we’ve seen them gets hundreds of millions of dollars in taxable revenue that they’re using for education, for affordable housing, for infrastructure, and the same thing could be here, too. You know, I’ve said this could be – between cannabis and hemp – this could be a $20-30 billion industry here in our state, and that’s all taxable. And I think there are some leadership in our Republican Legislature, like Sen. [Rob] Bradley, who have been a fighter for all of this, and it’s been very frustrating to see our previous governor, Scott, just kind of stand in the way of the will of the people. So there are good leaders in the

Legislature that we definitely need to commend on their effort. But we have to do a lot more work, though. What inspired the decision to appoint a state director of cannabis? You know, I really do see cannabis as the future of agriculture. One, we already oversee some parts of the medical marijuana program, between the edibles and pesticides and fertilizers. But also we have an obligation [to] make sure that there’s a voice for the consumer and the patients and our state … traveling the state to hear what’s happening on the ground and advocating for changes, and then, once again, somebody to also help oversee the implementation and regulations of hemp here in our state. Was the position modeled after another state position elsewhere? I am not aware of any other state that has a cannabis director. There’s obviously, in every government that has a cannabis program, there’s somebody who is a regulator. But I don’t know of a specific cannabis director, per se. Where does Florida stand with CBD? Is it legal? The problem is that right now, as we know, the 2018 Farm Bill allowed every state to create a hemp program. And we’re really more geared towards the industrial side. The FDA has come out and said that they plan on regulating CBD across the country, and interstate commerce can start at that point. The other problem is that in our laws, today, it says any derivative of the cannabis plant must be sold through one of our license-holders. This is why I’m trying really hard to push for legalization of hemp, including a hemp program here in our state. For clarification, the last thing we want is for our consumers to be defrauded by what’s in the CBD product, whether it has THC, whether it has CBD in it. So my job is to make sure that our consumers get a product that they intended to buy for what’s in there. That’s why getting hemp passed here during the session is so vital, to make sure that we create a marketplace that is safe for our consumers. What type of impact do you envision for hemp on Florida’s agricultural industry? Oh, this is going to be a tremendous opportunity. So many of our farmers have been suffering for so long, between NAFTA, which creates unfair trade practices that’s been hurting a lot of our local farmers and smaller farmers, to hurricanes that have really decimated our citrus industry, from Irma the last year to Michael in the Panhandle this past year, to citrus greening. So giving our farmers another alternative crop is going to be essential for them moving forward and keeping agriculture as part of the landscape for our state. Have you seen many former citrus farmers, particularly in Central Florida, shift towards hemp, instead? A lot of them have shown significant interest. We have been contacted by almost, I feel like, almost every farmer in our state, which – there are 47,000 of them. [laughs] But we have definitely been contacted by a significant amount of farmers across the state, who are very intrigued that we’re learning more and hopeful that this is another alternative crop for their land. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

DAY TRIPPING

This year, our mysterious anonymous weed chef teaches us to make our own cannabis butter truffles BY A N O N Y MO U S

ot too long ago I was invited to attend a mimosa pre-game and bike adventure to a local arts festival. Naturally, I wanted to bring a perfect little treat to celebrate the occasion and I knew these friends were down to dabble. In weed, that is. After a quick assessment of my stash, I decided on an easy-ish edible that would travel well and be fun to pair with mimosas – cannabutter truffles. Weed edibles are not a quick project. Making cannabutter is a process. So if you’re crunched for time, stick with the smoke. When bringing edibles to a gathering, remember some may prefer not to partake; I typically bring a non-dosed version of the same treat so no one has FOMO. Also, a non-dank version helps to avoid the dreaded greenout: a mix of dosed and nondosed means you can keep nibbling without your THC levels skyrocketing. (Anyone who’s had a bad edible experience knows what that panic feels like – it will seriously ruin your day.) Here are the basic steps of making cannabutter with equipment most people have on hand. I make this regularly for clients who have their medical marijuana card and it’s a great way to help improve appetite and soothe other symptoms, while still feeling luxurious instead of medicinal. (Improving your mood is important too when you’re sick.) There are countless cannabutter approaches, but here I’ve boiled it down to a few steps requiring minimal hands-on time.

CANNABUTTER

Ingredients: • ¼ ounce marijuana, roughly broken up with your fingers • 2 sticks unsalted butter Note on decarboxylizing: I’ve heard the stories of people making pot brownies, eating them and nothing happens. It’s clear they missed this step. Converting your flower to something consumable requires activating the THC. This inherently happens when you smoke; with edibles, it’s a low and slow approach. Preheat your oven to 240 degrees. Place your bud on a sheet pan and bake for 40 minutes. While your weed is danking up your kitchen, get out that dusty old crock pot. (Instant Pot fanatics, I’m sure you can figure out how to make this work.) Half-fill with water and set to medium-high. But don’t let the water boil – you want to keep your product safe from overcooking while maximizing potency and flavor.

let it cool. Most of the good stuff has been transferred to the butter, but feel free to save those leftover nugs for steeping pot tea or garnishing savory dishes. Refrigerate cannabutter for up to two months.

CANNABUTTER TRUFFLES

(Makes about 25 truffles)

Ingredients: • 8 ounces high quality dark chocolate • ½ cup heavy cream • 3 tablespoons cannabutter • ½ teaspoon instant espresso or 1 teaspoon prepared coffee (optional) • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract Optional garnishes: • Toasted, chopped pistachios or matcha (green marks the dosed ones) • Toasted coconut or confectioners’ sugar (for your non-dosed pairing) Chop the chocolate finely and place in a mixing bowl. Slowly heat the cream in a small saucepan until it barely boils. Pour cream into the chocolate and whisk together until melted. Whisk in cannabutter, coffee and vanilla. Set aside at room temperature for one hour. With a 2-teaspoon scoop or a melon baller, portion out round balls of your chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Be sure to keep portions to 2 teaspoons each. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, until firm. Roll each dollop of chocolate in your hands to make the truffles into spheres, more or less, then roll them in selected garnishes. (Resist the urge to lick your hands until all are dressed.) These truffles will keep refrigerated for two weeks. Serve at room temperature.

Note on dosing: I like to try to keep each truffle to about 5-6 mg of THC. Assuming an 18% THC level, I backed into this recipe using an edible dosage calculator that will keep these treats approachable. Because most of us are working with non-medical grade product, it’s hard to know the exact THC content, so if you’re new to edibles, resist the urge to eat more than one until you know your tolerance.

THE STICKY, ICKY POINT

With every two steps toward getting it right with medical marijuana in Florida, the state continues to take one step back BY XANDER P ETERS

s it relates to medical marijuana in the Sunshine State, we still can’t get it right. In March, more than two years after roughly 71 percent of Florida voters approved of medical marijuana in a 2016 ballot amendment, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation repealing the state’s ban on smoking medically prescribed weed. The bill passed through the Legislature, however reluctantly waved on by our elected representatives, and redefined the term “medical use” to include possession, use or administration of cannabis in smokable form. Though long overdue, it wasn’t a revolutionary feat on the part of lawmakers given the absurdity of not allowing patients the option of smoking medical marijuana in the first place. To be cautiously optimistic, at that moment it seemed as though we were finally heading in a sound direction for the future of medical marijuana and, though still a hash pipe-dream at best, potentially legal marijuana in Florida. But, of course, the state’s herbal honeymoon period couldn’t last. Earlier this month, the GOP-controlled state Legislature continued their killing of our buzz as they pushed forward a proposal that would put a 10 percent cap on the level of euphoria-inducing THC in smokable medical pot. Current THC levels in medical marijuana in Florida range between 15 and 24 percent and, as Commissioner Nikki Fried points out on page 22, few growers produce flower at 10 percent, so thousands of pounds of weed would have to be scrapped. The proposal would also set limits on the level of THC in prescribed edibles and hasten the process for the Florida Department of Health’s medical marijuana rule-making process. During a House Appropriations Committee meeting, the bill’s sponsor and committee chairman, state Rep. Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, reasoned that the cap was beneficial based on some bird-brained research published last month in the journal The Lancet Psychiatry that claimed high levels of THC could lead to psychosis. What wasn’t mentioned in the committee meeting, however, was the fact that the study subjects self-reported the amount of THC they were using (an unreliable metric), and every patient surveyed was already dealing with prior issues relating to psychosis before using cannabis. As of this writing, the state Senate remains less than pleased with the proposal. Still, it was typically pigheaded on the part of at least some of our state lawmakers, spending time trying to reduce access when they could have concentrated their efforts on improving the medicine’s affordability. State Rep. Carlos Guillermo Smith, D-Orlando, makes a similar point. “It’s not only the product itself, it’s the cost of basically not being recognized under federal law as a legal medicine, combined with the state ID cards, combined with the doctor fees, combined with the cost of medicine itself,” Smith says. Between the annual fee to renew each patient’s state-issued medical marijuana identification card ($75), the requirement to see a doctor every 210 days, the cost of that visit ($200 to $300) and the actual price of the medicine for each patient, we’re talking as much as $3,000 a year just to legally obtain

medical marijuana. And making matters worse, because cannabis remains illegal at the federal level, none of these costs are eligible to be covered under your traditional health insurance plan, which inevitably drives patients to the black market – i.e., the weed dealer down the street. Another approach would have been for lawmakers to just fast-forward to the inevitable legalization of marijuana, as Smith and his state House colleague Rep. Michael Grieco, D-Miami Beach, attempted earlier this month when they filed a bill that sought to legalize recreational cannabis for adult use. Unremarkably, the bill received neither a hearing nor a vote; it was pretty much dead on arrival. Asked whether he’ll take another stab at cannabis legalization legislation next year, Smith says, “It’s going to happen sooner or later, whether it be by a bill passing in the Legislature or a bill passing in Congress or the voters taking matters into their own hands and getting a constitutional amendment on the ballot to be approved.” Smith adds: “Look, the reality is that prohibition doesn’t work.” As it relates to both medical marijuana, as well as the future of legal marijuana, in Florida, maybe someday we’ll finally get it right. feedback@orlandoweekly.com

THC AND THEE A quick interview with a contributor who got her MMJ card BY T HADDEUS MCCOL LU M

lenty of people talk about how they’re definitely going to get their medical marijuana card so they can start getting Florida’s new legal pot, but Orlando Weekly contributor Rebecca McKay is one of the few people we know who actually went through the red tape to get hers. We talked with her briefly about her experiences, both good and bad, and found that, for her, getting her card wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

for anxiety. I took the diagnosis from my regular doctor to a marijuanarecommending doctor. (I used DocMJ.) Ostensibly, they reviewed my diagnosis and approved me but it didn’t feel like that.

OW: Hi, Rebecca! Congratulations on getting your weed card! How’s your experience been so far? RM: Weird and bureaucratic.

Because it was easier than you were expecting? Pretty much. I walked in, they took my blood pressure and that was about it. I tried to explain my situation to the doctor but he didn’t ask any questions or question any of my paperwork. He just started talking about what sorts of weed were available and what effects they could have.

Do you mind telling us what diagnosis you were able to get approved for? I’ve been diagnosed with severe panic attacks for more than 15 years. That gave me the more general diagnosis

How fast was the turnaround from that meeting to being able to buy from the dispensary? About two weeks. You have to apply through the state and pay the application fee. Then I got my email saying I could

buy, followed about two weeks later by my official card. I should clarify: I got the email two weeks after the visit then the card two weeks after that.

RETAIL THERAPY

How much was the application fee? $75. And it was, I want to say, $150 or thereabouts to see the doctor. What are the dispensaries like? Is there a big difference between them as far as stock, pricing or anything? I haven’t shopped around too much, so I can’t say as to variety. I will say none of the products sound like medicine, particularly for such a clinical process to get in. You sit in a waiting room and give them your ID. Then they call you back and you talk to a rep who starts showing you products. At the ones I went to, they had brochures that listed the different strains that were available. They had about seven indica, maybe the same for sativa, and about 15 hybrids.

he Florida Department of Health, Office of Medical Marijuana Use, is the state agency tasked with all things legal and permitty regarding legal marijuana use in Florida. Visit their website to learn more (flhealthsource.gov/ ommu), or go straight to the subsite knowthefactsmmj.com for lists of doctors and medical marijuana treatment centers. Below is a list of dispensaries in the Orlando area.

And those are only purchasable as oils and tinctures right now? Yes. I haven’t been since the smokables became available, but I understand you have to get a separate prescription for those anyway.

Curaleaf

775 N. Semoran Blvd., also 12402 S. Orange Blossom Trail fl.curaleaf.com

Did you have to pay in cash? You hear a lot about how “weedpreneurs” can’t get bank accounts or credit card processing services. Yes, I did. But there’s an ATM right inside the dispensary I go to.

Harvest

182 W. State Road 434, Longwood harvestinc.com

Knox Medical

1901 N. Orange Ave., also 487 Semoran Blvd., Casselberry knoxmedical.com

And finally, what has the effect been on your anxiety? Well, the sad part is mostly none. I’ve had two panic attacks on the weed. I tried daily CBD oil, but the reps didn’t have any recommendations for dosing, so I think I wasn’t using enough. I didn’t notice any difference anyway. I have the same random pains that I’ve always had that trigger the anxiety. And anything with THC is too strong to use during work or daily functioning to be of use in treating when the anxiety arises. I’m still using a little bit before bed each night in hopes that over time it helps, but so far, it hasn’t changed anything medically.

[ food + drink ] BUSTER’S BISTRO

BY FAIYAZ KARA

300 Sanford Ave., Sanford 407-732-6880 bustersbistro.com $$

FLEXING THEIR BRUSSELS

Sanford gastropub has plenty of Belgian beer with food to match BY FAIYAZ KARA

eady for more Sanford love? This time it’s for Buster’s Bistro – a laidback Belgian gastrobar that’s got the sort of conviviality a Jean-Claude Van Damme dropkick convention couldn’t pay to replicate. Beer, naturally, has a lot to do with it. There are 18 Belgian brews on tap and scores more (everything from Trappists and Abbeys to lambics and quads) available by the bottle, with branded goblets, snifters and tulip glasses for each. Or so it seems. Clearly, owner Paul “Paulii” Buster is proud of Belgium’s beer culture – which, like Mexican cuisine, Turkish coffee and the art of Neapolitan “pizzaiuolo,” has been placed on UNESCO’s oddly named “List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.” To accompany all those fine suds, Buster recently brought on journeyman chef Dalton Lacey (Cozee Café, Brooklyn Coffee Shop and Tennessee Truffle) to take charge of the menu. I have to say, it’s a little mindboggling to me how “The Mussels from Brussels” isn’t included as an item – I mean talk about your lost opportunities. But then dishes like shawarma ($11) and tikka masala curry ($12) appear on the menu, jolting one’s expectations with a roundhouse kick. Playing up the confluence of immigrant

food in Belgium, perhaps? Then there’s the poutine ($9), which kinda resembles actual poutine, but with thick-cut frites, “melty cheese” and filet tips weighted down in a tan-brown gravy. Purists and card-carrying Canucks may scoff at the assemblage, but you can’t really knock the taste. Those frites, employing the blanch-and-fry technique, were some of the best I’ve had in recent memory, with a crisp casing enveloping a soft, almost fluffy, core. A healthy serving of the frites come with the vol-au-vent ($14) as well – a somewhat deconstructed vol-au-vent, that is. The pastry, for one, was a puffed square, vertically challenged and slathered with morsels of roasted chicken and meatballs in a béchamel sauce with mushrooms. I hoped for a little more effort and composition in the dish – like a circular puff pastry with a rise sufficient enough to be stuffed, not messily sauced over and on the verge of succumbing to sog.

OPENINGS

Still, the flavors all seemed to work, just as they did with the poutine. You won’t have to work very hard to polish off the luscious short rib carbonnade ($19) plonked atop mashed potatoes. Of note is the sauce, resulting from a slow braise of the beef with beer (Belgian, naturellment), mustard and spiced bread – in this case, gingerbread. It’s hearty and gastropubby and your St. Bernardus Prior 8 ($7) will thank you for it. Hearing the words “our waffles aren’t made in house” came like a butterfly kick to the chops. Seriously? Was the Peeing Boy silhouetted on the menu taking the pis out of the dessert offerings? Is Buster’s getting premade waffles from Sysco? If they are, they’re pretty darned good, I have to say – the sugar waffles ($6) in particular. Crisp and airy with pearl sugar baked in and served with strawberries and whipped cream, they’re a little on the sweet side but, hey, this is dessert. Should Belgian chocolate strike your fancy, there’s a mousse ($6) made in-house and flavored with a dash of amaretto. It certainly won’t spoil your sentiment toward the restaurant, because there’s just something about Buster’s – and Paulii knows it. He’s worked hard on improving the quality of food and drink over the years, all the while maintaining a vibe that’s as charming as it is chummy, and that’s no easy task. The restaurant game is a constant battle and, buster, it’s a bloodsport. fkara@orlandoweekly.com

Last month we told you about celeb vegan chef Matthew Kenney’s restaurant Humbl taking root inside the two-story Franklin Street Hall at the Yard at Ivanhoe. Now we can tell you that Orlando Meats intends to be a vendor, though owner Edgar Massoni says a lease hasn’t been signed as yet.

BAANCHAN THAI

East Orlando Thai joint delivers a bit of the traditional (the pad thai is solid) with a few dishes to allure the intrepid diner, like seasoned quail eggs fried in a khanon krok; “Thai heaven beef,” aka fried beef jerky; and duck ramen in a lemongrass broth cloaking infernal red-hot chilis.

FOREVER NAAN

From-scratch veg and meat curries highlight this small Curry Ford Road curry shop, though the samosas, delicately fried and not thick-skinned, deserve praise as well. Naans are made on a tawa, but look for a proper tandoor to be installed in the coming weeks.

Of note are the skewered chicken thighs and chicken skin, as well as the tubular chicken meatball drizzled with your choice of five sauces. Short rib, Kurobuta pork-honey sausage and even Brussels sprouts benefit from binchotan grilling. Don’t pass up the street corn nor the hamachi collar.

The veranda-less Veranda presents Eastern European cuisine from Moldova and Romania, from such peasant staples as mamliga (polenta cakes served with salty cheese crumbles and sour cream) to Ottoman-influenced meat rolls and mince patties. Culinary convergence comes in the form of stuffed cabbage and grape leaves, while the chicken soup is a cure-all bowl of beauty.

Fast-casual joint in Lake Nona (with more outposts to come in Winter Park and UCF) lets guests build beautiful guilt-free and gluten-free bowls of deliciousness. Choose from nine different bases (everything from black rice and orange-basil quinoa to Asian sweet potato noodles and kale), layer on cooked veggies like ginger broccoli and smoky cauliflower, add some meat, other add-ons and a sauce, and have at it. Meats, btw, don’t suffer from the over-charring so often found at Chipotle. 12711 Narcoossee Road, 407-627-1990; $

LA BOUCHERIE

French steakhouse chain makes its U.S. debut inside the Bay Hill Plaza, offering fare a cut above Outback, but not quite the level of a Ruth’s Chris. Steaks, naturally, are the focus, including cuts like rump steak, top sirloin and various ground steaks. The “maquignon” – a burger with hashbrowns acting as buns – is an ideal lunchtime option. For starters, consider escargots, foie gras or a seasonal terrine. For the steakaverse, traditional preparations of pot au feu and blanquette de veau will give you all the French feels. There are 12 dessert options to choose from. 7625 Turkey Lake Road, 407-930-1708; $$$

hen Patrick O’Brien founded Learn Sativa University (https://learnsativa.org/) in 2016, he had big dreams of creating a training and job placement program for individuals interested in working in and around medical marijuana dispensaries throughout the nation. Now, the industry is worth more than $52 billion and counting ($7.1 billion in Florida alone),and Learn Sativa University is the number-one online and hands-on cannabis college in the world, training a new generation of entrepreneurs, budtenders and growers to be at the top of their game. A certification from Learn Sativa University is valid in 17 states, and that number is growing. “Our campus is designed to bring together like-minded individuals to learn about the laws, science and ethics behind this growing industry,” says O’Brien. One of the most compelling goals O’Brien had when he founded the university was to lift the stigma surrounding cannabis. He wanted to ensure that students at Learn Sativa University were comfortable and confident discussing their education and career goals with family, friends, and -most importantly -- potential employers. Learn Sativa University’s network of

alumni and professionals serve as support systems for entrepreneurs and graduates looking to break into this budding business. As of this year, Learn Sativa University has an alumni network of more than 50,000 graduates, 3,400 legal cannabis businesses, 2,000 marijuana doctors and 7,000 marijuana lawyers, as well as a list of manufacturers and farm-direct cannabis vendors. Students who want to learn to grow marijuana professionally have access to over 1,000 square feet of growing space in hydroponic and soil gardens. They also perform experiments in real-time virtual gardens, and have access to private coaching and tutoring to hone their skills and maintain valuable connections to industry professionals. For students with interests in dispensing, they’ll learn how to treat common conditions with specific strains of cannabis, how to administer cannabis in proper dosage, how the cannabinoids interact with the body’s natural process, as well as safe handling practices and dosage. “We are always expanding our course offerings and tools in order to bring our students the most current technology and training,” says O’Brien, referencing the

new carbon dioxide distillation and extraction course led by Dr. Jonathan Byron, who has earned degrees in plant and soil sciences, environmental science and geography. Additionally, Learn Sativa University has added a marijuana cooking course, marketing and business course, consultations on marijuana business, extraction and growing, as well as will be launching a new podcast next month. “One of the most important things we teach our students is about the laws surrounding the medical marijuana industry, both in Florida and nationwide,” says O’Brien. It’s important that Learn Sativa University students are fluent in the legality of the industry. As founding Executive Director of the Central Florida chapter of NORML, O’Brien has an up-to-the-minute track to new laws and information that will impact a student’s career. Thinking about an industry change? There’s a good chance that the skills you’ve developed in your current job can help you in the marijuana industry as well. Skills like sales, marketing, logistics and other marketable expertise set you apart as a valuable asset to future employers. After graduation, Learn Sativa University

Elle Fanning stuns in Max Minghella’s directorial debut BY T HA DDEUS MCCOL LU M

ollywood certainly knows the power of a good song – look no further than the recent twin Best Picture nominations for Bohemian Rhapsody and A Star Is Born for evidence of that. But rarely has the cathartic power of straight-up pop been captured and translated visually as it is in actor Max Minghella’s (The Handmaid’s Tale) directorial debut, Teen Spirit. Much of that success can be credited to a powerhouse performance by Elle Fanning (The Neon Demon). Fanning plays Violet Valenski, a Polish-born teenager living with her single mother on the Isle of Wight. Overflowing with teenage dissatisfaction, Violet is quiet and withdrawn, only shining on the occasional karaoke night at a local pub. When a teen singing competition show arrives on the island for auditions, Violet goes behind her devout mother’s (Agnieszka Grochowska) back – she’d rather that Violet devoted her singing voice to the Lord – and enlists a washed-up opera

singer, Vlad (Zlatko Buric), to pose as her uncle to get around the competition’s rules about guardianship. If you’ve ever seen an underdog movie, be it The Karate Kid or The Mighty Ducks, you know how this story goes. But Teen Spirit’s strength lies in how it goes about bringing life to this particular iteration of the age-old story. For the most part, the film is shot in a naturalistic style, using handheld cameras and faux natural lighting to create a sense of realism. But when Violet gets the chance to sing, the cinematography switches to the glossy, neon-lit hyperrealism of music videos and commercials. Director Max Minghella nails these sequences, cutting them with rapid cuts of what’s going through Violet’s mind as she uses other people’s songs to express her own emotions. As a result, the musical sequences are raw emotion, drawing moisture from the eyes of all but the most stonehearted. Fanning – who does all of her own singing – ends up outshining many of

the original artists she covers here. While those musical sequences deserve to be seen on a big screen, the story framework that supports them falls short in places. The script – also written by Minghella – falls into some well-worn ruts that do the characters a disservice. As Vlad, the fake uncle and later manager of Violet, Buric delivers a charming performance that gets bogged down by pro forma conflict between mentor and protégée that feels more like the ticking of a box than an actual plot point. And a brief period where Violet’s fame – if we can even call it that – results in some self-centered behavior is painfully clichéd, though thankfully brief. For all of its faults, though, Teen Spirit is a film with plenty of charm on its side. As soon as we see Violet go through her ho-hum existence while bumping Grimes in her headphones, it’s hard not to root for her. And even though the end is telegraphed from a million miles away, it’s hard to think of a recent film with as satisfying an ending as this one.

BY ST EVE SCHN EID ER

OPENING WEDNESDAY: Breakthrough Technically the first product of the ballyhooed Disney-Fox merger, Breakthrough is a faith-based inspirational drama. But not just any faith-based inspirational drama: Instead of being smuggled into the local multiplex on a church bus to do its dogmatic dirty work, it’s getting a big-ass, heavily hyped Easter-week release on screens across the country. Damn, maybe the new X-Men are going to be Jehovah’s Witnesses? Anyway, in the film, a worried community and a congregation of prayer warriors pull together to help a kid survive a protracted dunking in a dangerously cold lake. And guess what? It’s all based on a true story. You know, just like the time you saw Jesus in your toast. (PG) Penguins The latest piece of edutainment from DisneyNature follows the travails of a lovable penguin named Steve, whose twin goals are to find a mate and somehow live till next spring. (Tell me about it, “Steve.” Tell me about it.) Ed Helms both narrates and voices the main character, whom I presume is going to drive the other penguins crazy by constantly reminding them he went to Cornell. (G)

OPENING FRIDAY: The Curse of La Llorona The sixth feature set in the Conjuring universe concerns an otherworldly entity that snatches children away from their unwary parents. Jesus, another movie about Michael Jackson already? Actually, Curse is based on the “Weeping Woman” who’s a legendary figure of fright among Mexicans. How nice that our Latinx pals have a crappy wide-release horror flick of

their very own. But I wonder how they’ll feel when they see that heroine “Anna Garcia” is played by Linda Cardellini, whose ancestry is Irish, Italian, German and Scottish. “That all adds up to Mexican!” said no 23andMe algorithm ever. (R) High Life Filmmaker Claire Denis (Beau Travail, Let the Sunshine In) makes her Englishlanguage debut with a science-fiction drama about death row prisoners sent into space to explore alternate sources of energy. Oh, and also to undergo cruel sexual experimentation. Denis told Indiewire that her decision to shoot in English for the first time was dictated by the nature of the material: “[F]or me, people speak English – or Russian or Chinese – but definitely not French in space,” she said. But don’t worry, because after each of the numerous rapes, everybody sits around smoking tiny cigarettes and humming “La Vie en Rose.” (R)

ALSO PLAYING: Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy This spinoff of the popular martial-arts franchise casts Max Zhang as a fighter trying to escape the clutches of the mob. Guest stars Michelle Yeoh and Dave Bautista have us rooting for the clutches. (NR; playing at Regal Waterford Lakes Stadium 20 & IMAX) Mia and the White Lion No CGI was used for this story of a young girl who sets a white lion free from captivity to be her playmate. No CGI, but Band-Aids. Lots and lots of Band-Aids. (PG; playing at Regal Waterford Lakes Stadium 20 & IMAX and Cobb Plaza Cinema Café 12) orlandoweekly.com

SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION

The Church returns to Orlando, ready to preach BY SHELTON HULL

“W

e always look forward to coming to America and eating Mexican food,” says guitarist Peter Koppes, 63, who cofounded the Church in the summer of 1980. Over the course of nearly an hour spent on the phone with Orlando Weekly, Koppes speaks with the whiplash verbosity of a whirling dervish. Once he starts talking, he doesn’t slow down. The same goes for his band’s touring schedule. Tuesday’s set at the Social comes midway through a run of 31 gigs. It will be only their second time in Orlando, having played the same venue back in September 2017. The band’s lineup, like their output, has remained fairly consistent over the years. The current incarnation includes Koppes and bassist/vocalist/co-founder Steve Kilbey, along with guitarist Ian Haug (formerly of Powderfinger), who joined the band in 2013, and drummer Tim Powles, who joined in 1994. They’re currently on the second leg of a world tour celebrating the 30th anniversary of their biggest album, Starfish, but this is no tepid nostalgia act. The Church enjoys a cult following in Europe, and they get booked regularly for goth and psychedelic festivals. But their bread and butter, in terms of touring, remains the U.S., which is now hosting the second leg of their Starfish anniversary

tour. “You’d think that your audience would deplete,” says Koppes, “but actually it’s been growing, selling out places that we never did before.” Starfish has sold nearly a million copies over the decades, moving units in every music format in existence. “I’m not in favor of vinyl, to tell you the truth,” says Koppes, who expressed an affinity for the cassette format and who seems far more receptive to the various streaming services than many musicians of his generation. Koppes and company have always taken a forwardthinking approach to the industry and its technological underpinnings, from recording to distribution to royalties. They’ve recorded in small home studios, and they’ve also worked for the legendary Clive Davis during their time at Arista. “We were very fortunate to have him,” Koppes says, “because he was a very smart executive.” Koppes teaches music theory in his spare time, and has a book forthcoming that focuses on guitar scales. “It’s a very good instrument to be able to analyze music theory,” Koppes says of the guitar. “I’ve worked out this amazing trick to simplify the navigation of this science, which the Beatles probably started. No one has ever addressed it, this music between classical and the blues.” He calls it “the limbo.” Speaking of limbo, the Church has man-

$10-$20

aged to maintain their creative trajectory through four decades of rapidly-shifting commercial tastes. It hasn’t been easy, but it hasn’t exactly been hard, either, and a lot of that comes down to attitude. “We’ve never tried to re-create our successes, just maintained our art through the ups and downs,” Koppes says. “In 1998, a millionaire patron in America came and started supporting us. The last two albums had two different patrons, actually. That has afforded us, the last 15 years, to not be desperate to sell records, so to speak.” Starfish was released in February 1988. Its lead single, “Under the Milky Way,” is a classic of 1980s rock. The band’s biggest hit has since turned up in all kinds of places, most notably on the 2001 soundtrack for Donnie Darko. It was also featured, oddly enough, on an episode of Miami Vice, which later used the song “Blood Money” in another episode. The current tour has been an education of sorts about their own creative legacy, revisiting the sites of past triumphs while laying down fresh roots in places the Church never played before. “A lot of the people are old fans who never saw us back then,” Koppes says. “They’re coming, at long last. And sometimes they’re bringing their kids, and they seem to enjoy it just as much.” With their 40th year as a band rapidly approaching, the Church have maintained a prolific output, doing two-hour sets night after night, never resting on their laurels – indeed, not really resting much at all. Man Woman Life Death Infinity from 2017 was their 25th album. “John Lennon would’ve loved it,” says Koppes. Lennon would’ve probably loved him, too. music@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

BY B AO L E - H U U MITSKI | PHOTO BY MICHAEL LOTHROP

This week, a couple of Florida men join mighty forces and a next-gen star emerges.

HURRICANE PARTY, LIL INDIE’S, APRIL 13

When you merge two artists like Bleubird and Rickolus, who aren’t just credentialed but also compelling, the results could be exponential. Well, their cross-Florida collab, Hurricane Party, is winding up and bringing heat. Even though his many years of distinctive work have earned him 24K street cred with the indie-rap cognoscenti and a spot on the vanguard roster of hip-hop label Fake Four (who recently released the solo debut of Orlando star E-Turn), Fort Lauderdale luminary Bleubird continues to be one of the most underheralded MCs alive. Still, despite being the perennial underdog, he continues to blaze his singular trail with style and flair as one of the most original rap voices to come out of Florida. Jacksonville Beach’s Rickolus is the intriguing X factor. Although he’s got credits in the same alt-rap galaxy with releases on Fake Four and collaborations with heavyweights like Astronautalis, he’s a somewhat chameleonic alt-pop singer, musician and producer. Together, this relatively new cross-genre act is a chemical reaction that bridges rap and song in a way that crashes the hip-hop frontier with the kind of mischievous party splash that makes cats like Buck 65 seem like bookish squares. With a range of references wide enough to go from 1980s pop

What Mitski is showing on stage and record right now are the game-changing moves of a star looking to forge pop music’s tomorrow to trap, Hurricane Party are a postmodern explosion that rains down like neon confetti. And they are Florida as fuck, oozing our essence and terroir in all its dazzling cliché, like a hip-hop Miami Vice. Although Bleubird’s greased cadence and Rickolus’ smooth croon attack at different angles, they share a precision of comedy and charisma, making them ideal foils for each other in this audacious enterprise. Splitting sides and shaking asses, Hurricane Party show that being the class clowns and being the cool kids are not mutually exclusive. Fortunately, they play Orlando with decent frequency. But definitely watch for their next swing through town because their new album (Juice) is released in early June on Limited Fanfare Records (the dope Miami label that just unleashed the Sh-Booms’ latest opus), so they’ll be back for a July Orlando release show.

MITSKI, PLAZA LIVE, APRIL 11

Since her opening slot for Hundred Waters at the Dr. Phillips Center back in 2015, Mitski has rocketed on the thrust

of back-to-back critical smashes on Dead Oceans to sit at the head of the current power class of indie rock that’s being run by the ladies. What was but a tantalizing sketch then has now returned to Orlando as a fully rendered vision, a primetime name before her own teeming, screaming sellout crowd. The tension and intensity she showed here in that stark 2015 set is still a pulse that beats in her. It’s just stitched more finely in a richer, panoramic tapestry that’s a fitting canvas for a songwriter of such gift and ambition. From the start, Mitski moved on stage less like the focal point of a rock band than the muse of a live music video. Using a table, chair and her physical expression to an effect stirring enough to ignite the crowd, she commanded the show with real theater. With movements that were purposeful and evocative, she shined like a pop idol from some near beyond. Given the result and the response, you’re looking at a new-generation icon. Like her stage mien, Mitski’s indie sound has taken some palpable pop turns of late. Played perfectly live by an airtight band, it is music that’s operating on a high plane of concept and execution. Beyond easy classification, Mitski’s vision of pop hovers dynamically at the outer edge of now. She proved herself an original voice early in her meteoric ascendance. But what she’s showing on stage and record right now are the game-changing moves of a shooting star looking to forge pop music’s tomorrow. baolehuu@orlandoweekly.com orlandoweekly.com

Bootleg Print Party ART

The moment our left hands became accustomed to the two-fingered gesture “Command+C, Command+V” was the moment ownership of art truly ended. Example? Supreme straight-up stole their logo from Barbara Kruger, and now countless “creators” (even Louis Vuitton!) throw their own ish onto what they think is a Supreme design. Come celebrate the meaninglessness of copyright at Akyros’ bootleg print party, along with a couple dozen local artists (including Steven Fessey, Samantha Shumaker, Skip and Jacoub Reyes), with musical guests Sage, Gabriel Knows Everything, Sweet Cambodia and Tvdeo. Get a complimentary drink voucher, a screenprinted poster, and an education on the difference between appropriation and bootlegging. – Jessica Bryce Young 8 p.m. | Henao Contemporary Center, 5601 Edgewater Drive | facebook.com/akyr0s | $10

Ken Jeong COMEDY

You probably know actor and comedian Ken Jeong as Mr. Chow from The Hangover or Ben Chang from Community, but after Jeong’s debut in the 2007 movie Knocked Up, he also created, wrote, produced and starred in his ABC sitcom Dr. Ken, which ran from 2015-2017. Get ready to laugh with el tigre chino at the Hard Rock Live this week – his standup comedy tour comes on the heels of his Netflix comedy special, You Complete Me, Ho, dedicated to his wife, Tran Ho. Now that’s true love. – Sarah Cavacini 7 p.m. | Hard Rock Live, 6050 Universal Blvd. | 407-351-7625 | hardrock.com/orlando | $35-$65

Friday, April 19

Self Toxication MUSIC

It’s a particularly Mills 50 phenomenon – well, an Uncle Lou’s & Grumpy’s phenomenon – that sometimes touring acts of different aesthetic stripes converge on the same show as a kind of DIY supercard. And this Friday’s show is very much that. First off, you’ve got two very heavy noise contenders from abroad. We’re over the moon about the chance to see Japan’s Self Toxication live; he creates subtle yet hellish vocal noise from his mouth, a microphone and a small battery of electronics strapped to his chest. Mexico’s Le Trash Can is top-shelf, low-end noise collage. Then you’ve got two St. Petersburg electronic upstarts, Alex Nicosia and Bushi, both very promising new and creative faces in the dance/electro-pop underground. The night is bolstered by locals Formaldehydra, Alien Witch, Aaron’s Home and Bonez. Take your vitamins; this one’s for the night owls. – Matthew Moyer

Drivin’ N Cryin’ MUSIC

Back in Orlando for a tour supporting their upcoming album, Live the Love Beautiful, Drivin’ N Cryin’ – the self-proclaimed “DIY icons of American underground” – are still at it after more than 30 years of Southern rockin’. Though they’ve been a somewhat regular presence in the City Beautiful over the years, it’s the band’s first full-length album since 2009, when they released their “working-class rock opera” Whatever Happened to the Great American Bubble Factory. They’ve still got what it takes to throw a hell of a show – see for yourself when they roll through the Veranda Live this weekend. – Xander Peters with Thomas Wynn | 6 p.m. | The Veranda Live, 707 E. Washington Ave. | 407-405-1144 | theverandalive.com | $15-20

Saturday, April 20

Matthew Dear MUSIC

Continuing the streak of eye-popping bookings at downtown’s Elixir is this very surprising one-night only DJ set from tastemaker and musician Matthew Dear. Where do we even start? The Detroit artist recently released his sixth album, Bunny, praised by The Guardian as full of “eclectic post-punk via heavy electronics.” This is only the latest chapter in a 20-year career of chasing after his own ever-shifting muse and music. Dear also co-founded the flawless Ghostly International record label. And he’s no mere “celebrity DJ.” He’s been at it for years; he knows his techno and he knows how to make a room undulate. Don’t expect the self-dubbed King Chameleon to perform any music – though he does occasionally throw a deep cut of his own on the decks – but do expect him to get bodies moving. No phones, fair warning. – MM with Atnarko | 10 p.m. | Elixir, 9 W. Washington St. | 407-985-3507 | facebook.com/elixirorlando | $10-$15

Tuesday, April 23

Okilly Dokilly MUSIC

The world’s only “Heavy Nedal” band, Okilly Dokilly take their name, appearance and even lyrics from Ned Flanders, the straight-arrow neighbor of Homer and Marge on The Simpsons. Sure, it’s a gimmick, but these Nederinos can actually play metal, and the Flanders quotes they use out of context certainly sound metal. And at least the band has tacit approval from the Simpsons team; Okilly Dokilly was featured on the show during the closing credits recently. – Thaddeus McCollum with Bear Ghost | 8 p.m. | Will’s Pub, 1042 N.

APRIL 17-23, 2019 ● ORLANDO WEEKLY

B Y DA N S AVAG E

When I first started dating my girlfriend, I asked her about past boyfriends and she said she hadn’t met the right guy yet. After dating for nine years, I found out about a past boyfriend and looked through her emails. I found out she dated her married boss for three years. She broke up with me for looking and for judging her. I feel like she lied, and she thinks it was none of my business. We’ve been broken up for five months. She’s reached out, but I can’t get over my anger or disgust that she was someone’s mistress. Am I a bad person? Still Angry And Disgusted Yup. “Haven’t met the right guy yet” ≠ “Haven’t met any guys ever.” Almost everyone has done something and/or someone they regret doing – although it’s possible your ex-girlfriend doesn’t regret fucking her married boss for three years, SAAD, and it’s possible there’s no need for regret. Sometimes people have affairs for all the right reasons. Sometimes abandoning a spouse and/or breaking up a home with kids in it, aka “doing the right thing” and divorcing, is the worse choice. Life is long and complicated, and it’s possible for a person to demonstrate loyalty and commitment with something other than their genitals. Sometimes people do what they must to stay married and stay sane, and their affair partners are doing good by being “bad.” It’s also possible – and perhaps likelier – that your ex-girlfriend made an impulsive, shitty, selfish choice to fuck someone else’s husband. It’s possible he’s a serial philanderer, a cheating piece of shit, and then, after fucking him that one time, your girlfriend felt pressured to keep fucking him and wound up having a years-long affair with her married boss. And then, when it was all over, she stuffed it down the memory hole because she wasn’t proud of it and wanted to forget it. It’s also possible she didn’t tell you about this relationship when you asked because she intuited – correctly, as it turned out – that you are, in your own words, a bad person, i.e., the kind of guy who would punish his girlfriend for having a sexual history, for making her fair share of mistakes and for deciding to keep some things private. (Not secret, SAAD. Private.) In other words, she correctly intuited that you would punish her for being human. Finding out about a past boyfriend doesn’t give you the right to invade your partner’s privacy and dig through their ancient emails. Your girlfriend was right to break up with you for snooping through her emails and judging her so harshly. And she didn’t even lie to you, dude! Her boss clearly wasn’t “the 66

right guy,” seeing as he was married and her boss, and the relationship ended before you two even first laid thighs on each other nine years ago. From where I’m sitting, SAAD, it looks like she still hasn’t met the right guy. To be perfectly frank, I don’t want to help you get over your anger and disgust – not that you asked me to help you get past those feelings. It kind of sounds like you want your anger and disgust affirmed … and I’m going to go with that and affirm the shit out of those feelings: Stay angry! Stay disgusted! Not because those feelings are valid – they’re not – but because those feelings prevented you from taking your ex back when she reached out. She may not know it yet, but she’s better off without you, SAAD, and here’s hoping you stay angry and disgusted long enough for her to realize it. I’m a few months into OkCupid dating, and it’s going well! I’ve stuck to two “automatic pass” rules: anyone who mentions my looks and nothing else in the first message and anyone with no face pic. It’s worked out great so far. But I’ve noticed that most kinksters on OKC don’t post face pics. I can understand this. I once came across a co-worker on the site – didn’t look, passed immediately – and I can imagine nobody wants their boss or co-workers to know they’re looking for puppy play and CBT. Not everyone has the luxury of taking a risk like that. So I’m tempted to drop my “no face pic = pass” rule for kinksters. But then I imagine how that would go: “Chat, chat, chat. ‘Hey, can I see a face pic?’ Oh no, I’m not physically attracted to this person!” Then I have to awkwardly un-match and feel terribly shallow and guilty for a while. So do I keep my rule and pass on some very promising profiles without face pics to avoid hurting someone’s feelings? Or do I bend the rules? I’m just not looking to hurt anyone in a bad way. Not That Kind Of Sadist Lead with your truth, NTKOS: “Hey, we share a lot of common interests – BDSM, CBT, TT – but I usually require face pics before I chat. I understand why you may not be able to post your pics and why you would want to chat for a bit and establish trust before sharing pics with me privately. So I’m happy to chat so long as you’re OK with the risk that I might pass after seeing your face pic. Still, even if we’re not ultimately a sexual or romantic match, every kinkster needs some kinky friends!” So I’ve fallen in love with one of my good friends. I am in grad school, and we met because we are in the same intensive program and we spend a lot of time together. When we first met, I had no interest in this

“ W O R K M AT E S ”

person. And for the majority of the first year we worked together, that feeling maintained. However, over the past few months, I’ve found myself falling in love with this person. Their intelligence and beauty is simply intoxicating. I love our friendship, but at times it is a bit overwhelming being in their company because I’ve developed strong feelings for them. I don’t think they share these feelings. Or at least I haven’t been given any indication that they share the same feelings. How do I go about telling them? I’d like them to know this is how I feel, but I also don’t want to lay the weight of my feelings on them or ruin our friendship. Growing Romantic Attachment Disrupts Studies You have two options: You can be honest with this person or you can be that unsettling “friend” with an ulterior motive. Personally, GRADS, I think ’fessing up is better than shutting up – sublimated/unexpressed desire has a way of souring a friendship – but if your grad program is ending soon, I’d encourage you to wait. Most graduate programs are two years (some are less!), and you’ve been working together for more than a year. So there should already be a light at the end of that intensive tunnel. In the meantime, savor the agony and “pray on it,” as Mike Pence would say (only you should swap out prayer for masturbation). And, hey, you didn’t have feelings for them until recently. So who knows? They may develop feelings for you by the time your intensive grad program ends. And, yes, telling a friend you have a crush on them is always a risk – it could ruin the friendship or make things awkward for a while. Just be honest, direct and unambiguous (“I would like to date you,” not “I hope we can hang out sometime”), and explicitly invite your crush to say no if the answer is no.
