cannabis is no longeremned to the shadows, moremore people are beginning

nderstand the true medicalefits it possesses. However,stigma of “reefer madness”emains in the minds of baby

mers. The younger generationsmuch more open to usingabis and are now wondering

to get their parents anddparents on board.

w we have offered up someful tips to bring up the cannabisersation with your family.

ep 1: Choose anpropriate situationbring it upre just blurting out statements

ut cannabis in a family situation,ge how they feel about

abis. If you have never had theussion begin by asking about

feelings or experiences withabis. You might be surprised

heir opinions or stories! If they

against the idea then this willto decide how to approach itthem.

ep 2: Knowe facts and beceptive to whatey have to say

gh we live in a society wheremation about cannabis isly available, this has not always

been the case. Previously therehas been so much misinformationreleased surrounding the plant that

older generations have been force-fed throughout their entire lives.

Instead of trying to make themunderstand your point of view,try to understand theirs. If theyare against the idea of the use ofcannabis listen to their perspectiveand then hit them with the facts.No matter what the response fromyour family surrounding cannabis,the one thing that cannot beargued is the truth. Explain thehistory behind cannabis prohibitionand the Marijuana Tax Act of 1937.Show them the trials done prior tothat, and explain the true benefitsof hemp and cannabis. DO YOURRESEARCH, and demystify thefallacies.

Step 3: Explaineverything. Explainthe differencesbetween Medical MJ

and Adult UseExplain what the endocannabinoidsytem is and how cannabinoidsinteract with your body. Explainthe differences between THCand all other medicinal propertiesthat cannabis possesses. Explainthat you can indeed use cannabiswithout getting high. Explain thenatural medicinal benefits theplant possesses. Show themsuccess stories. Explain howcannabis has bettered your life.

Step 4: Introducethem to cannabisinfused topicalsThe easiest way to bring someoneinto cannabis is through theuse of topicals. Since everyoneexperiences pain as they getolder, offer your family memberscannabis infused topicals. Thereare balms, salves, lotions, patches,you name it there is something onthe market that can help everyone.If your family is not comfortablewith THC infused lotions, evenafter explaining that topicals do notget you ‘high’ - you may want to trya CBD topical instead. This will stillprovide the desired healing effects.

Step 5: Keep theminformed and makeit personalThe cannabis conversation will notlikely be one conversation. It maybe a process to get them to comearound to the idea. Make sure youkeep them informed. Send theminformation about how marijuanahelps specific ailments that mayafflict them and others they know,and try to send articles fromreputable sources like the NationalInstitute of Health. Show themthe irrefutable proof, make it easyfor them to relate and keep thechannels of communication open.Be there to answer questions andnever make them feel silly aboutasking questions. Good luck!

CANNABIS AND ITS ANTI-AGING PROPERTIES

Though hemp has been used in cosmetics for ages,more and more companies are integrating THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) into their skincare lines.

The Federation of American Societies of ExperimentalBiology found that cannabinoids are responsible forlipid production and, therefore, for regulating conditionssuch as dry skin or acne. "Our preclinical data encourageone to explore whether endocannabinoid system-acting agents can be exploited in the management ofcommon skin disorders," said Tamás Biró, a scientiston the team.

In addition to being an anti-inflammatory, cannabishas been more recently noted as an antioxidant. Somestudies have shown that THC itself possesses moreanti-aging qualities than cannabidiol. The antioxidantsassist in neutralizing the damaging effects of freeradical oxygen particles.

The balance between detrimental and defensivebiological processes, such as oxidative stress andanti-oxidation, determines the ageing process. Thereis a growing body of evidence to suggest that theendocannabinoid system (ECS) has a fundamentalrole to play in various aspects of the aging process,both mental and somatic.

On a cellular level, the ECS regulates expression of theimportant neurotransmitter, brain-derived neurotropicfactor, an important protein responsible for thedevelopment and maintenance of healthy neurons,which underlies its ability to assist in neurogenesis

(growth of new neurons).

It is now known that the endocannabinoid system isinvolved in the maintenance of healthy skin in variousways. Cannabis topicals may also be used to treatinflammatory skin diseases.

Dermatologists note that smoking cannabis is not thehealthiest form of consumption for your skin. If youare a cannabis user, oral consumption is the bestmethod for protecting your skin. Smoking cannabishas the same effects on skin as smoking cigaretteswould. Doctors urge that if you insist in smoking youhave a heavy-duty moisturizer on, but if you insist onsmoking, use a vaporizer.

Utopia Farms is an award-winning cannabis company baseCruz, California. As stated on their packaging, Utopia spe‘artisan flowers, refined extracts & nutritious edibles’ whipesticide free! Here at Edibles Magazine we were lucky enoto try one of each of the previously stated items. From Utowe received samples of the award-winning Chiquita BanaChiquita Banana concentrate, and raspberry and chocolate m

First off, the flower is stunning. It is impeccably well-trimdripping in crystals. The packaging is a simple glass jar with alooking label. I very much appreciate the fact that they prinresults from SC Labs directly on the jar with a QR code that to the actual results. The sativa dominant hybrid sure is effeshould be since hits approximately 30%! After one hit, I immea head change, yet still felt productive. This is 100% my kindhas a swift onset, and is long lasting but does not render youappreciate that I was able to be s uper productive after use.

Now, the same cannot be said for the Chiquita Banana concencheeseballs Utopia, this seriously knocked me on my you kWeighing in at close to 90% THC, this concentrate is one thafor right before bed. I took three hits of out my Dabsolute CoPen and I was out. Within 20 minutes I was comatose for the evening. I just could not help myself the flavor is outstandingsmell of it is tantalizing. P.S. They even put a batch number oso if anything were to be awry with your concentrate they coback and fix the problem!

Lastly, I have to admit the packaging is on point for the m acaroons. The opaque back is white with specific colored stripdependent on the flavor - on the top on bottom of the bag. They include all the pertinent information you would wanand even let you know with icons on the front of the bag that they are gluten free, vegan, paleo and raw; they are evenlove coconut, so I was super stoked that they were traditional macaroons. The bag contains 4 two-bite macaroons with each. The raspberry ones were my favorite, though I might be a little bias since chocolate is not really my thing - I know, me! Upon first biting into it, there is an ever-so-slight taste of cannabis, but it fades as you eat i t. The high is very clean anmore like the flower than the concentrate. All in all, A+ Utopia Farms, A+!

In light of Cinco de Mayo, we found a south-of-the-border favoritethat has been infused with cannabis, introducing the Dabchelada.Dabchelada is an infused version of a michelada. ArmandoRodriguez, who actually once did marketing for one of the majormichelada mix companies in LA, created Dabchelada.

When you buy a Dabchelada, you receive an empty Styrofoamcup wrapped in a brightly colored Dabchelada sticker, with thetop dipped in medicated chili salt mix and covered in plastic. Theinstructions are simply placed on the front of the sticker “Just add

your favorite beer or juice!” I decided to add a Tecate in light of itbeing a michelada. It was pretty delicious! Dabchelada is madeusing 200mg of indica dominant "real shatter" that you do nottaste, but you can definitely feel it!

They are potent and effective. I felt euphoric and happy afterdrinking it. Dabcheladas definitely add a kick to an otherwiseboring beer or juice! You can use lemonade or different juices aswell. Man, Dabchelada y’all know how to do it! Well done, this stuffis delicious!

PAYROLL : TO PAY OR NOT TO PAY?

Like rent, payroll processing is a task that producesno revenue, though it is a necessary evil for businessowners who wish to stay in business. Time spentprocessing payroll is time not available to add to thebottom line, whether that might be increasing sales,collecting receivables, developing new products or eventaking some time to relax and recharge the batteries.All of these things are more productive than payrollprocessing which can only create risk for the owner aswell as cost time and money.

What’s the risk? Every single paycheck includes atleast five required tax deductions in each state whichthen must be added to other employer taxes andvoluntary deductions, and every one of these items is anopportunity for a problem to occur. The late or incorrectdeposit of these tax liabilities can result in costlypenalties and interest for a business owner. A payrollservice provider shoulders both the workload and theliability of the payroll processing and the business ownercan now focus on bottom line - running and growingtheir business.

The employer maintains complete control over whenand how the payroll is processed, wages, raises,reviews, hiring, and benefits. Access to information isalso not a valid consideration as business owners havecomplete access to all reports, history, personnel dataas well as report writing capability with our web basedservice. Since there are no "contracts" in payroll, noemployer is ever forced to stay with a service they findunsatisfactory for any length of time. All payroll servicescan be terminated with a simple letter or phone call.

The biggest benefit of tax filing service is that if evera notice arrives from the IRS or EDD, a client simplyfaxes that to their service provider to be handled. Thesenotices often result from a mistake by the IRS or EDDand are cleared up very quickly – all without any effortfrom the business once that fax is sent. The employerwho does it himself (for "free") will spend many hoursresponding to such notices, hours away from thebusiness that can never be replaced. Outsourcing yourpayroll function, by the way, does not relieve you fromyour tax responsibilities, but it does put the liability onthe shoulders of your contracted Payroll provider, notyou! The cannabis industry is no different than any otherindustry when it comes to basic business expenses.

past Friday I chaired a “Medical andational Marijuana in Southern California”ar in Santa Monica. During the seminar,nor Brown signed into law the three billsomprise the California Medical Marijuanaation and Safety Act (MMRSA). Needless tois was big news for all o f us at the seminar.

also, of course, big news for California andally for its medical marijuana operators. Theseean California will soon be moving away fromregulated gray marijuana marketplace to aaw-regulated medical marijuana regime.bills mean that California will be getting the

t regulations” the federal government requireshe states for the Department of Justice to beminimally disengaged from what goes on withbis within the state. These bills also meanalifornia will be entering a new era where the

ment of Justice (hopefully) nally cools itsn the Golden State.

ghout the seminar on Friday, attendeesd to know how the MMRSA would operate,ocal power would look like now, how licensingny “priority” would work, and how some ofmbiguities in the bills would be sorted outg forward. I was lucky enough as chair to

California Assembly Member Reginald Jones-er as a speaker, especially since he played apart in crafting the language that now makessolid majority of the MMRSA. Assemblyer Jones-Sawyer gave attendees valuableinto how this legislation came to be and

most concerned state lawmakers. It should beprise that the legislature’s biggest concernsedibles, youth access to cannabis, and the

marijuana businesses would have on theirunities.

portant to recognize that the MMRSA is madehree bills–Assembly Bill 266, Assembly Billnd Senate Bill 643, with each bill having ant function, while at the same time containingpping, identical language regarding certains of medical marijuana control. I examinef these three bills below:

6:6 focuses on MMRSA’s overall regulatory and

ng set up by specically doing the following:zing all “commercial cannabis activity”aken pursuant to a state medical marijuanaonal license (and pursuant to a local license

mit, if required by your city or county).

California’s medical marijuana economyently made up of non-prot mutual benetations or non-prot cooperatives, AB 266for-prot businesses to obtain operational

al marijuana licenses from the state.

shing the Bureau of Medical Marijuanaation (BMMR), which will be part of thement of Consumer Affairs, under theision and control of the Director of Consumer

Affairs. The BMMR is vested with the power andauthority to develop and implement any and all rulesnecessary to enforce the MMRSA.

Giving The Department of Consumer Affairs, theDepartment of Food and Agriculture, and theState Department of Public Health the powerto promulgate and pass any rules necessary toimplement the MMRSA.

Setting up 17 different kinds of medical marijuanaoperational license types and prohibiting verticalintegration (barring one exception below). A licenseemay only hold a state license in up to two separatelicense categories out of the 17 and the state onlypermits certain combinations of licenses. Moreover,for growers, regardless of license combination, thestate only allows up to 4 acres of total canopy to becultivated while the license or license combinationis valid.

Providing for one difcult to attain carve-out forvertical integration. If your city or county hasan ordinance that requires or permits verticalintegration and your business was verticallyintegrated before July 1, 2015, and you’ve beencontinuously operating and registered with theBoard of Equalization, you get to stay verticallyintegrated in the new licensing system until January1, 2026, when that privilege will be repealed.

Permitting cities and counties to regulate medicalmarijuana businesses beyond the requirements setforth under the MMRSA and the BMMR’s rules. Thebill also allows cities and counties to ban medicalmarijuana businesses within their borders.

Mandating local approval of your marijuanabusiness by providing that “[a] licensee shall notcommence activity under the authority of a statelicense until the applicant has obtained, in additionto the state license, a license or permit from the local

jurisdiction in which he or she proposes to operate,following the requirements of the applicable localordinance.” Note that the revocation of your localpermit or license means you cannot operate in thatcity or county even if you still have your state license.Giving local jurisdictions the power to tax andassess fees against medical marijuana businesses.

Setting forth the requirements for marijuana

deliveries in California. Delivery of marijuana bya dispensary to qualifying patients or designatedprimary care givers will be licensed by the state onlyif it is also allowed in the local jurisdiction in whichthe dispensary licensee operates.

Prioritizing licensing for certain medical marijuanabusinesses. In issuing licenses, the state mustprioritize any facility or entity that can demonstrateto the state’s “satisfaction” that it was “in operationand in good standing with [its] local jurisdiction byJanuary 1, 2016.” In addition, an MMJ businessthat is operating in compliance with local zoningordinances and other state and local requirementson or before January 1, 2018, may continue itsoperations until its application for licensure is

approved or denied. So in other words, if you canget your cannabis business up and running by theend of this year with local approval where required,you will likely have priority when it comes to licensingunder the MMRSA. I and my rm’s other California-licensed cannabis lawyers are already getting callsand emails from existing and new clients seekinghelp on this.

Providing the following special carve-out for theCity of Los Angeles, with its long embattled localmarijuana laws:

Issuance of a state license or a determination ofcompliance with local law by the [state] shall in noway limit the ability of the City of Los Angeles toprosecute any person or entity for a violation of, orotherwise enforce, Proposition D, approved by thevoters of the City of Los Angeles on the May 21,2013, ballot for the city, or the city’s zoning laws.Nor may issuance of a license or determination ofcompliance with local law by the [state] be deemedto establish, or be relied upon, in determiningsatisfaction with the immunity requirements ofProposition D or local zoning law, in court or in anyother context or forum.

AB 243: AB 243 focuses on regulating marijuana cultivationfor medical use and on California’s environmentalconcerns regarding marijuana cultivation. This bill:

Gives the California Department of Food and Agriculture the power to promulgate any and allrules necessary to accomplish the regulation ofmedical marijuana cultivators. The Department ofFood and Agriculture will also be the one issuingand overseeing all cultivators licenses.Tasks the California Department of PesticideRegulation, in consultation with the CaliforniaDepartment of Food and Agriculture, with dealingwith pesticide usage and safety as those relate tomarijuana cultivation.Calls for the California Department of Food and

Agriculture to work with the Department of Fish andWildlife and the State Water Resources ControlBoard to ensure that “individual and cumulativeeffects of water diversion and discharge associatedwith cultivation do not affect the instream owsneeded for sh spawning, migration, and rearing,and the ows needed to maintain natural owvariability.”

Provides for the same standards set forth in AB 266regarding local control and licensing and permittingto apply in AB 243. Nonetheless, “[i]f a city, county, orcity and county does not have land use regulationsor ordinances regulating or prohibiting the cultivationof marijuana, either expressly or otherwise underprinciples of permissive zoning, or chooses not toadminister a conditional permit program pursuantto this section, then commencing March 1, 2016,the [state] shall be the sole licensing authority formedical marijuana cultivation applicants in that city,county, or city and county.”

Does not apply to qualifying patients engaged in

personal cultivation if the cultivation area does notexceed 100 square feet and if the qualifying patientdoes not sell, distribute, donate, or provide marijuanato any other person or entity. It also does not apply todesignated primary care givers growing for qualifyingpatients if the cultivation area does not exceed500 square feet, he or she cultivates marijuanaexclusively for the personal medical use of no morethan ve specied qualied patients for whom heor she is the primary caregiver, and he or she doesnot receive remuneration for these activities, exceptfor compensation provided in full compliance withSection 11362.765(c) of the California Health andSafety Code.

Calls for the California State Department of PublicHealth to develop standards for producing andlabeling all edible medical cannabis products. TheDepartment of Public Health will also almost certainlybe in charge of regulating the edible potencies as well.

SB 643:Just like its companion bills, SB 643 contributes to theregulatory and oversight structure of the MMRSA. Italso specically sets forth standards for licensedmedical physicians and doctors of osteopathy(“physicians”) who recommend marijuana for medical

use and it delves into the criminal backgroundstandards for applicants. The main points of this billare the following:

Tasks the California Medical Board with prioritizinginvestigations of physicians who excessivelyrecommend cannabis for medical use, fail to have abona-de patient relationship with those persons forwhom they recommend cannabis, or fail to adhereto sufcient record keeping regarding their cannabisrecommendations.

Makes it a misdemeanor for a physician torecommend medical cannabis to a patient and then toaccept, solicit, or offer any form of remuneration fromor to a state-licensed medical marijuana business ifthe physician or his or her immediate family have a“nancial interest” in that business.

Mandates that applicants for any medical marijuanalicense must submit ngerprints to the Department ofJustice for a criminal background check.

The state can deny a license application if “[t]he applicant or licensee has been convictedof an offense that is substantially related to thequalications, functions, or duties of the business

or profession for which the application is made. ..” In determining which offenses are “substantiallyrelated to the qualications, functions, or duties ofthe business or profession for which the applicationis made,” the state will take into account the following:

felony convictions for the illegal possession for sale,sale, manufacture, transportation, or cultivation ofa controlled substance violent felony convictionsserious felony convictions, felony convictionsinvolving fraud, deceit, or embezzlement.

Allows for the denial of a license application if theapplicant has any history of local sanctions, nes, orpenalties for violations of local ordinances, includingthose related to medical marijuana commercialactivity, and for any revocation of a local licensewithin the three years prior to the application for astate license.

Requires applicants to “[p]rovide evidence of thelegal right to occupy and use the proposed location.”

Applicants for a cultivator, distributor, manufacturing,or dispensary license must also provide the statewith “a statement from the owner of real propertyor their agent where the cultivation, distribution,manufacturing, or dispensing commercial medicalcannabis activities will occur, as proof to demonstratethe landowner has acknowledged and consentedto permit cultivation, distribution, manufacturing, ordispensary activities to be conducted on the propertyby the tenant applicant.”

Compels applicants for a cultivator or a dispensarylicense to provide the state with “evidence” that theirproposed location is at least 600 feet from a school.“School” has not yet been dened.

Mandates that applicants with twenty or moreemployees provide the state with a “statement” thatthe applicant will enter into, or demonstrate that ithas already entered into, and abide by the terms of alabor peace agreement.

Requires that those seeking to cultivate, distribute,or manufacture medical cannabis must submit adetailed operational plan disclosing to the state theirplans for cultivation, their extraction and infusionmethods, their transportation processes, and theirinventory and quality control procedures.

Tasks the state with developing an “organic certied”standard for medical marijuana in California byJanuary 1, 2020, “if permitted [to do so] under federal

law and the National Organic Program

All of the bills also mandate thatagencies set up rules and systems for

Tracing cannabis product, Record diversion systems for transporting canQuality assurance testing standards, Rand packaging, Safe product handrequirements

EHIND THE SCENES WITH INFUSED EDIBLES

drove through the desert on a seeminglyending road, I wondered what the hell weotten ourselves into when we decided to

story. I suddenly realized that I was noin my safe place – that is Downtown LA –re. We were in Desert Hot Springs getting

o walk into the Infused Edibles factory.

dashing co-owner Chris immediatelymed us upon arriving. As we entered, wereeted by the sounds of infectious laughterusic. The space had been set up previouslyspensary, so it was the perfect location forabis candy company!

were three ladies and one gentlemanthe time of their lives gabbing and workingbagging and tagging all types of gummiess, belts and worms, oh my was It was al site!

ntroduced us to his team – Miss Sues mom & co-owner), Miss Vicky, Miss Lindaster Dave. Aside from Chris who is 31

old, everyone on his team qualies for thediscount at the movie theater. However,

e the fact that they are not 25, they canout thousands of bags of candy a week!

o-owner affectionately spoke about histeam, “Everyday is like a social gathering.

day we come together and talk about ourwe care about one another, and we laugh andether. We care about what we’re doing andients we help,” Chris lovingly expressed.

who was a chef by trade and his mothergan the company almost three years ago.background was in accounting and wasg with a dispensary helping them witheeping in Santa Cruz. Chris was managingme dispensary therefore; they would see alledibles that came through the door. Theyl of the wasted products that would beout and thought there had to be a better

After starting out with toffee in a jar andmixed with kief, they moved into gummies

se the shelf life was longer and frankly all ofmmies they had tried tasted horrible.

cussed his reasoning behind hiring agingcans instead of younger people, “Imagine

someone who has gone through cancer threetimes and they have had both their breastsremoved and they are in the hospital cheeringup other people. That says something aboutthem. Then you hear they are also raising theirgrandchild and taking care of their elderly mother

simultaneously, what do you do? You give thema job, because that is a strength we can all drawfrom” Chris said with tears welling in his eyes,speaking of Miss Vicki.

The truth is that with older people comes astrength and wisdom that only comes from beingon the Earth for many years and making it outalive through several situations. Though withage also comes with some limitations. Chris

joked about how sometimes the team will makemistakes here and there, like putting THC ediblesinto CBD edible bags. He also explained that withan aging staff comes a set of limitations that youwould not normally face i.e. vision, weight lifting,etc., but he would not trade his team for anything.

The Team Behind Infused EdiblesMiss Vicky began working with Infused Ediblesafter meeting Miss Linda at the Palm DesertRegional Hospital during the latter part of herchemo treatments. Their appointments wereback to back, so they eventually got to knoweach other. Miss Linda had an Infused topical,which is made using industrial hemp CBD anda hypoallergenic, fragrance free, medical gradelotion which she introduced Miss Vicky to. Shebegan using the product for the burns she hadfrom radiation. She also began taking CBDedibles in lieu of her highly addictive medications

she was prescribed to. She was diagnosedwith stage III HER-2 breast cancer. It was veryaggressive and had spread to her lymph nodesas well. Miss Vicky has been an avid cannabisuser since the age of 16. Miss Vicky had us institches throughout the entire interview.

Miss Sue with a 25-year background in accountingfor mainstream industries never thought shewould be in this industry. Her company laid her offand it was then that a dispensary in Santa Cruzended up hiring her to help them become legali.e. set up the business license, bank accounts,etc. She explained how there were kids justgoing to the dispensary to get stoned, but therewere also the real patients – the elderly people,

the moms trying to help their kids and thosewill serious illnesses all turning to cannabis toimprove the quality of their lives. In happy tears,she recalled how far the business has come inalmost three years. She told us story after storyabout their products helping people and how

she wishes others she knows would stop beingadverse to cannabis and try it. We discussed howthe stigma against cannabis is still prevalent evenamong her friends.

Miss Linda and Mister Dave are a wonderful pairwho have been with Infused for a couple of yearsnow. Miss Linda is quite the animated personmeanwhile Mr. Dave is a bit more reserved. Theymet Chris through a mutual friend and ultimatelycame to work for the Infused brand. They bothuse cannabis products for arthritis and othersymptoms. Miss Linda was taking 30 lactate pillsa day just to be comfortably eat cereal, as shesuffers from serious stomach issues. Now, shetakes CBD oil three times a day and it providesthe same relief. Neither of them ever thought theywould end up in this industry, but they both feelas though cannabis has changed their lives forthe better. Linda was also diagnosed with breastcancer and used cannabis to help get through theradiation treatments.

We had such a great time chatting with thelovely ladies and gentlemen behind the gummysensation – Infused Edibles. We even got thelow-down on which products are their favorites:

Miss Vicky - Turkey Jerky, Cranberries, Mangosand Cashews

Miss Sue - Trail MixMiss Linda - Strawberry-Banana BeltsMister Dave - Strawberry Tubes and Turkey JerkyChris - Take-N-Bake Brownies and Turkey Jerky

The Infused Edibles team is a family. They are afamily that cares about what they are doing andwho they are helping. Infused Edibles offers awide array of products that not only taste good,but are extremely effective. They are not thetypical company found in the cannabis industry.They do not have large backers and have builttheir company from the ground up. There is not adoubt in our minds that Infused Edibles will makeit through. Though this company may be small incomparison to others, it is mighty!

Infused Edibles offers a myriad of gummies,fruit & nuts, savory & spicy, tinctures and take-n-bake items, all made with either THC and CBD.The gummies are what put Infused on the map.Unlike many of their competitors they do notspray CO2 or use BHO in their infusion process.They have a proprietary process that allows themto individually infuse each product.

Although Infused Edibles offers an array ofaward winning gummies, we decided to reviewsome of the more nontraditional items on themenu. We tried the 300mg dried mangos, 300mggrapefruit gummies,300mg dried cranberries andthe 400mg take-n-bake birthday cake.

I thoroughly enjoyed the mango slices. Roughlysix pieces come in the package and they tasteamazing. There is denitely a cannabis taste,but it is not overwhelming. The ingredients aresimple: dried mangos and marijuana extract.There are no crazy chemicals you cannotpronounce or preservatives. They are vegan andgluten free. I tried to stop myself, but I ended upeating all of them in one sitting. Shortly thereafter,my eyes started to get heavy and I felt that very

familiar head change and was out. These thingsare incredibly potent, and work quickly andeffectively.

Next came the grapefruit gummies. Theseare different than the typical gummy wormsand sour patch kids that we see in the market.These were not quite as healthy as the mangos,but are quite delicious nonetheless. They aregummies shaped like slices of grapefruit coatedin sugar. The THC is much less detectable inthese. Unfortunately, once more I could notkeep from eating almost all of them. I wouldtake a nibble and put it down then take anothernibble and set it down. Eventually I repeated itenough times that the package was empty!

Moving on to the dried cranberries… Thesethings are another awesome healthy choice.The taste of cannabis is prevalent when you rstput them in your mouth, but eventually the tastesubsides. The dried cranberries are the perfectchoice for daytime medicating. They are discreetand 300mg is dispersed throughout the entirebag. This means you only have to eat a couple ofthem to achieve the desired effects.

Last but not least, the take-n-bake birthday cakeweighing in at 400mg. Their line of revolutionary

just-add-water products includes cakes, cookies,brownies and even mac n’ cheese! The mixcomes in a simple black pouch marked withingredients and pertinent information. Whenyou open the package you nd cake mix, asmall package of multicolored sprinkles and acake dish. The only additional items you needare: ¼ cup water, an oven and a cookie sheet.

The process is fairly simple. Pre-heat your ovento 325°F. Mix the ingredients together, add waterand pour the batter into the cake dish. Placethe cake dish on a cookie sheet and bake for

20-25 minutes. The cake is a bawith sprinkles in it. To turn this own work of art, you can add all ingredients and icings.

MEDITHRIVE: NEW & IMPROVED IN SF

GRANDR-IN-CHIEF

lived in San Francisco for 8 years, Iell acquainted with Northern California’ssaries. What I love about NorCal shops, isey do not have to deal with raids or shut

from local law enforcement, and San

sco has certainly led the way in the passingfornia’s Compassionate Use Act.

spiration behind creating Edibles List ands Magazine sparked when I noticed the

difference between NorCal and SoCaland dispensaries. I wanted to create a way

he state together, and gather the nation’svendors together into one central portal.

today, it seems that San Francisco’ssaries are leading the way in California.rive is a prime example of the new waynabis. They rst opened their doors inwith 3 partners and a city-issued license toe. In 2011, Federal interference temporarilyeded, as U.S. Attorneys in California sentousands of letters to landlords threateningre of their property and exorbitant nes, ifd not evict any businesses relating to themedical marijuana.

rive voluntarily shut their doors due to theity to a school. For the last few years, theyed a delivery service, called Medithriveout of the back door of another brick andstorefront in downtown San Francisco.

hough the federal government attemptedupt with medical cannabis in California fort 5 years, cannabis is winning the war on

Medithrive re-opened their storefront inafter the Department of Justice madements to the law in 2014 and the 2015 de-

g the DEA preventing them from interferingates that have medical marijuana laws.

onally, San Francisco made amendments toannabis zoning regulations which allowedrive’s location to be compliant. It also helpsce Medithrive’s original closure, four statesC. have legalized the adult use of cannabis.

d at 1933 Mission Street, the decor ofrive is quite the juxtaposition from whatould expect when walking in off Missione shop is just blocks from the 16th and

Mission BART station. While going throughthe re-opening process, they brought on newinvestors and hired a “regular business worldCEO,” to take their dispensary to the next level.

They spent the time to tour both medicaland recreational dispensaries in Coloradoand Washington for inspiraton their new andimproved look. When you walk into Medithrive,it resembles an Apple store, with exposedconcrete walls, backlit and glass displays and4K resolution atscreens enhancing the view ofthe trichomes on bud. You will notice there areno formal lines, no bulletproof glass windowsand no formal cash registers. They wanted to aninviting design, rather than treating patients likethey are criminals. Medithrive boasts an elegantedible display that allows you to see the ediblesout of their packaging, unlike any other shop Ihave seen in California. It is a very creative andefcient way to handle the opaque packagingregulations set into place by the city.

When they opened back up, they receivedoverwhelming support from the school nearby thatwas the original reason for having to close.Havingsecurity and surveillance cameras cleaned upthe streets, making it safer for children going toschool and walking home in the neighborhood.No longer are there heroin or crack addicts usingthat part of the street for shelter or drug deals.

In addition to the beautiful edibles display, theirbud owers are uniquely showcased in well-litglass dome enclosures placed throughout thelobby oor. A knowledgeable budtender greetsyou to and takes you to a viewing counter, (whichis an artsy poured glass molded surface), whereyou can checkout the selection and ask questions.

Their bud ower is all top quality medicine, andthey offer a wide range of options for every pricepoint. Medithrive’s goal was to be able to supplyhigh quality medicine, without sacricing qualityfor price. They want to give every patient thebest they can get. For example, even if a patientonly has $10, they can still get a top-shelf pre-rolland be able to medicate without smoking shwagweed. They also boast an extensive selectionof edibles including Kiva Bars, Mediroons, OmEdibles, Infused Creations and more. They evencarry 3 exclusive avors from Strictly Edibles andthey have the widest selection of concentrates Ihave ever seen a dispensary carry, which adds tothe reason they were able to gain marketshare inSan Francisco.

Medithrive’s buyer says the key to their successis giving the patient what they want, offering themmultiple options in each sub genre of products,and carrying excellent medical cannabisselections. They still operate their delivery servicein San Francisco as well, with a 2-hour deliverywindow, you can get anything they have in-store,delivered to your door.

The best part to know if you are a patient in SanFrancisco, is that they have the best referralprogram, get a free eighth when you refer afriend. Of course, there are some stipulations,

the free eighth comes on your second visit, afteryou’ve both spent $30 on donations. They alsohave a generous “First Time Patient” goodie bagthat comes with a Medi-Mix Pre-Roll, HempWick,stickers, a storage tin and coupon for a free gramon your next visit. If you are new to medicalcannabis or need your medical card renewed,a recommending doctor’s ofce is convenientlylocated across the street.

We highly recommend checking out this amazingshop setup in San Francisco. They are located at1933 Mission Street.

KYMBER WARD

STAFF EDITOR

Arthritis is an ailment that aficts52.5 million adults, and is expectedto climb to 67 million by 2030.Currently, there is no cure for thecondition and current treatmentsinclude pharmaceuticals with severeside effects. Cannabis is a suitablealternative, as it naturally possessespain relief and anti-inammatoryproperties. However, many medicalofcials are averse to prescribingmarijuana for rheumatic diseaseciting the lack of the data on theefcacy of the plant.

Though there may be limitedresources on this issue, that doesnot mean there is nothing on thesubject. The Rheumatology journal

published a study from Dr. Sheng-Ming Dai of China’s Second MilitaryMedical University found that CB2receptors are found in unusually highlevels in the joint tissue of arthritispatients. The use of cannabis isshown to ght inammation in the

joints by activating the pathways ofCB2 receptors.

Dr. Jason McDougall, Canadianprofessor of pharmacology andanesthesia at Dalhousie Universityin Halifax, has received a grant andbacking from the Arthritis Society tocommence a new three-year studyto examine cannabis and if it is not

just dampening the pain in the brain,but also working to ght inammationand repair the joint itself.

In fact, on May 4, the MedicalCannabis Research Roundtable,comprised of high-level physicians,patients, researchers and experts,urged the Canadian federalgovernment to invest $25 million inclinical trials and medical research.The funding will be targeting threemain points:

• Basic Science – to have a betterunderstanding of the role of theendocannabinoid system (ECS)in disease, and to explore howmedical cannabis impacts diseaseprogression, physiological function,and how the body processescannabinoids.

• Clinical Science – to include peer-reviewed observational and clinicaltrials with a focus on safety, efcacy,

dosing and administration.

• Health Services & Policy – toinclude the exploration of issuesof wider policy concern suchas equitable access to medicalcannabis, how to manage andmarket medical cannabis in thecontext of legalization, knowledgetransfer to health care workersand the broader public, social andeconomic impacts.

There are two main forms ofRheumatoid (RA) and Osteoarthritis(OA). RA is caused by a malfunctionof the immune system. Insteadof ghting off intruders such asbacteria or viruses, the body attacksthe synovial membranes, whichfacilitate the movement of joints,eventually destroying cartilage

and eroding bones. Osteoarthritis(OA), or arthritis of the bones, isalso found primarily among theelderly, where cartilage has beenworn away through many years ofuse. Arthritis may also manifest aschronic inammation of the joints asthe result of injuries.

Arthritis of any type can be anextremely painful and debilitatingcondition that presents challengesfor pain management. The use ofcannabis as a treatment for musclo-skeletal pain in western medicinedates to the 1700s and as far backas 2000 BC the Chinese calledcannabis a treatment that “undoesrheumatism.”

The current most effective treatmentfor arthritis is a pain managementregimen comprised of painkillersand aspirin, which often have limitedbenets and hazardous side effects.Cannabis is known to have naturalanalgesic and anti-inammatoryproperties with limited side effects.Though cannabis has been shownto help if ingested or inhaled, that isnot the only way it can help arthritissufferers. Cannabis infused topicalscan be applied directly to theinamed area and immediate reliefwill be seen.

For current marijuana patientslooking for arthritic relief, look forproducts (or the ower s themselves)including these strains: Blue Dream,Girl Scout Cookies, Mango Kush,Sour Diesel, Harlequin (High CBD),Blueberry Kush or Agent Orange.

STAFF EDITOR

Everyone wants more protein in theirdiet and luckily now there are more waysthan ever to add protein to your cannabisbaked good products. Since everyonehas specic protein preferences, it isimportant to be aware of the proteinsavailable and pick the one that best tsyour clientele.

The FDA recommends about 50 grams ofprotein a day, but of course, every individualhas different protein needs based on theirlifestyle. There have been many diettrends over the years that focus on highprotein and low carb meals, including thelatest “Paleo” style diet program. There isno right or wrong answer when it comesto protein consumption levels and thisarticle is not designed to mandate anyspecic amount, but more inform ediblemakers of what types of proteins they c an

work with and how to incorporate theminto food products

Proteins are often dened as either“isolates” or “concentrates”. A typicalprotein concentrate may deliver about80% protein, while an isolate is usuallya powder that has more than 90%.The other 10 to 20% is made up ofcarbohydrates, sugars and whatever elsewas derived from the source. Proteinpowders can be bought in bulk online. Itis important to ensure that you only buyunavored protein powders - to avoidadding unwanted articial avor, presentin the raw material, into your nal product.
