LA Judge ShutsDown MarijuanaDelivery App

ATHAN FOISYTAFF EDITOR

federal judge in Los Angeles has ordered the shut downthe medical marijuana delivery app Nestdrop, which

cilitated the delivery of patients medicine to their homes.os Angeles County Superior Court Judge Robert OBriensued the injunction after City Attorney Mike Feuerought to end the businesss practices, stemming frome violation of Proposition D, which limits the number

storefront dispensaries and explicitly bans deliveryervices.

estdrop co-founder Michael Pycher told the Los Angelesmes earlier this month, Nestdrop is the technologyatform that connects law abiding medical marijuanaatients with local dispensaries to receive the medicationat they need in a safe and secure manner.

he Company has stated, While we agree with certainspects of Proposition D, we believe the prohibition onelivery services is unnecessary and enforcement is aisuse of taxpayer funds In fact, delivery services minimizee need for storefront dispensaries in residential areas point of issue in Proposition D as these services bringe medicine directly to patients, no matter the location.

he city sued Nestdrop in hopes of preventing them fromoing any further business in the area, as well as inhibitingny future plans along the same lines. Interestingly enoughowever, the app will continue to facilitate alcohol deliveries

homes while considering options how to operate in theedical marijuana industry as well.

It appears that the 326 federally recognized AmericanIndian reservations (according to the Bureau of IndianAffairs) have been given the green light to grow and sellmarijuana on tribal lands without fear of prosecution.

The Department of Justice recently released a threepage memo announcing that the federal governmentwill not prosecute Native Americans growing and sellingmarijuana on tribal lands. The new federal policy will allow

tribes interested in growing and selling marijuana to do so,if they maintain robust and effective regulatory systems,according to John Walsh, the U.S. attorney for Colorado.

The memo says the federal ban on marijuana sbut federal authorities will focus its limited inand prosecutorial resources on the preventiocircumstances:

distribution of marijuana to minors; revenue from marijuana from going to criminal en diversion of marijuana to states where it is not leg marijuana activity being used as a pretext for traf

of other illegal drugs, or engagement in other ille violence or use of firearms in marijuana cultivatio

or distribution; growing marijuana on public lands; marijuana use or possession on federal property

The memo also says nothing in it that precludes inor prosecution of marijuana crimes, even withouteight factors listed.

Tribes have the sovereign right to set the codreservations, According to U.S. attorney for NoTimothy Purdon, chairman of the Attorney Subcommittee on Native American Issues.

How will Native Tribes proceed? In the past sevetoed the growing and selling of marijuan a, citing of past history of alcohol abuse by tribe memberspossible prosecution.

On the opposite side, Mason Tvert, a spokesmpro-legalization Marijuana Policy Project said, Stconsistently found above-average rates of alcohol related problems among Native American commuwould be incredibly beneficial to provide adults wrecreational alternative.

Tvert added, Tribal leaders will h ave a tremendous to improve public health and safety, as well economically by legalizing marijuana. Regulating marijuana like alcohol would ensure the product isand it would bring significant revenue and new jobcommunities.

One thing is for sure, that 326 more outlets for lofree) marijuana throughout the country, even the dwould be significant. Only time will tell.

Lessd less these days are we seeingbscribers of traditional television.lowing the success of theowtime show Weeds, theeators of Cinedopes have scriptedweb series that includes marijuana

a main character theme.

edopes is a slapstick comedicb series with a raunchy edge.about the first movie theater to

while you enjoy your cinematicperience, in addition to beer andne. Centered around the inept staffa small independent movie theater

of employees who have troublenning their own lives let alone asiness. Mayhem ensues aroundery corner as they desperately tryturn a profit, while competing with megaplex across the street.

r elevator pitch synopsis wasdgeball meets Pineapple Express.

Clearly concepted by a bunch ofpotheads, Cinedopes was originallywritten as merely a comedy abouta movie theater without marijuanabeing an actual character. Cannabiswas something that was added inlater. Ben Gleib (actor, comedian,and writer seen on Chelsea Latelyand the Late Late Show) joined as awriter and as a main cast character,adding a recognizable face to theshow. They pride themselves onbeing the first scripted web seriesbased around weed. But its not ashow that we would recommendwatching with your parents.

Cinedopes received a nod from thecannabis industry, landing a productplacement deal with Raw Rolling

Papers. By releasing the seriesthemselves on Youtube they wereable to cut around the red tapeassociated with weed and network

television shows, and they can prettymuch air whatever they want.

Theyre hoping with the traction ofseason one theyre able to producea season two. Check out their fourepisode first season online at:

Colorado Residents may receive a windfall tax refundor credit next year in the range of $60 to $107 milliondue to the new tax on recreational cannabis. The states

Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or TABOR, sets limits on how muchthe government can tax its residents, and if that limit isexceeded, refunds may be given out.

The actual amount will not be determined until the end ofthe 2015 fiscal year. The rebate or credit would then beapplied on the 2016 tax forms. However, the ColoradoLegislature will determines how the rebate will be used ordistributed.

While most Colorado residents would prefer a cashrebate, a direct refund may not be given at all. Rather,several options of how the State would keep anddistribute the money are on the table. Residents might begiven a credit on next years tax bill, or be given a lowersales tax rate.

Another major concern for Colorado and Washingtonalike is the arduous tax on recreational marijuana incompetition with the lower rate for the medical marijuanacounterpart. The number of medical marijuana patientshas increased significantly, instead of the expecteddecrease, since recreational use has become legal.Officials are looking into ways to bridge the gap of taxationover recreational use verses medical use of marijuanaequitably without over burdening current medical patients.Rick Garza of the Washington Liquor Control Board raisedthe question, How can you have two parallel systems, onethats regulated, paying taxes, playing by the rules, and theother thats not doing any of those things?

Many residents using recreational marijuana arecontinuing to be labeled as medical patients, meaning theypay lower tax rates. An equitable solution for this gap maybe part of the Legislatures discussions over what to do withthe rebate funds. Hopefully any solution proposed will notadversely impact legitimately sick patients. Teri Robnett,founder of the Cannabis Patients Alliance, commented, Idont want to wind up cracking down on people abusingthe system in a way that negatively impacts the patientsand the people who help them.
