    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    NEW CANNABIS CREDIT UNCover feature:DAN CAPENEREDITOR-IN-CHIEF

    Nearly all of the nations banks wont take the risk of acceptingmoney from marijuana sales. The banks wont do business withgrowers, processors, retail shops and medical dispensaries,or with their employees and contractors. They dont offer basicchecking or credit card services to the industry for fear theyll beshut down by federal authorities for trafficking in illegal narcotics,the same federal law that covers Ecstasy and heroin, that is upuntil November 19, 2014. That was the day Colorado bankingregulators granted the marijuana oriented Fourth Corner CreditUnion a charter! That charter is near the end of the process for theUnion to go open their doors (expected to be as soon as this month)and now the union is waiting for the Federal Reserve to issue it amaster account number, which would give it access to the countryselectronic banking system. Colorado regulators have indicated theywill honor Colorado laws and allow the Union to open once finalFederal Approval is authorized.

    Taylor West, deputy director of the National Cannabis IndustryAssociation and its 800 members, said the biggest problemmembers have is there is no bank or credit union to handle all the

    money.

    The countrys 2,000 retail shops and medical dispensaries producea huge amount of cash (estimated to be around 2-3 billion last year),which makes them prime targets for criminals. Another majorproblem is record keeping. Without bank accounts, the industry hasto rely solely on cash which complicates paying the taxes that statesimpose on cannabis as well as paying their employees and vendors.Jennifer Calvery, director of the Treasurys Financial Crimes

    Enforcement Network, said in August that only 105 baunions a tiny fraction of the more than 100,000 in tmoney from legal marijuana businesses.

    The Fourth Corner Credit Union will be the first to actuallybusiness members that are openly involved in the marijuholds the promise of getting an estimated $650 millionannual cannabis sales per year in Colorado off of the sa safe and well-regulated environment with a cutting-elaundering compliance unit. The Fourth Corner foundanyone with an interest in the marijuana industry woujoin Fourth Corner. It will look no different than any othe

    Yet, the credit union still has hurdles ahead. Fourth Corfor federal deposit insurance, but the application revieto two years say the organizers. But due to a Coloradstate-chartered credit unions can open while federal deis pending and in addition will have a federally approvprotecting against theft, according to the organizers. Stthe credit union, if denied, to ask the Colorado DivisServices to allow it to operate under private depoaccording to state law.

    This may be a huge step forward t words incorporating

    business into a the main stream business image, like liquaccept credit cards, put their funds in the bank or credto sleep a lot less worried they may get ripped off or womoney the banks wont take. (Who would have imaginwant our money.) Hopefully the (reverse IE too much) mmay be on they wain. Yet to be determined. DC
