Letter to the EditorLately, we have been receiving fan mail & patient experiences. We decided to add our Dear Editor Section. We urge readers to share their experiences on the road to legalization. Please feel free to email us (info@edibleslist.com) any questions, comments, concerns or stories that you would like to make our readers aware of. Cheers & Happy Medicating! The EL Team

Dear Edibles,

We are avid pot enthusiasts, who happen to be females (fully capable of rolling our own blunts) and can without a doubt smoke most of your readers under the table. I would like to tell you the experience that I had on a recent trip up & down the west coast. My roommate and I decided to embark on a journey, later deemed, The Best DUI EVER! As we set out on this excursion, we had no idea what the Pot Gods would have in store for us.

Our mission: CannaCon 2015 in Seattle, Washington. Sheer panic set in north of the Bay Atrea as we realized the medicine we brought was not going to last long. Alas, what would any patient do?! Search for the next available dispensary, which happened to be in Mt. Shasta, California.

After our detour, we returned to the I-5 to continue our excursion. We were about 10 minutes down the road when we hear the worst noise while driving, Woop Woop accompanied by a cluster of strobe lights, red & blue strobe lights.

Hi, ladies do you know why I pulled you over? No Sir, I wasnt speeding, I softly replied.Youre not allowed to have tinted windows in California, he said. Really, Mr. Policeman? You had to pull me over on this fine day because I have tinted windows? It couldnt possibly be because two of your colleagues are outside of the dispensary we just left nope, definitely not that.

They pulled me out of the car and informed me I was going to be given a field sobriety test. The same sobriety test they use for alcohol just curious how do you use the same measure for whether or not my judgment is impaired from alcohol & pot ,if they exhibit different symptoms?

I was told to stand on one foot and count; apparently they were measuring my balance. Needless to say I failed, it was 40 and Im from SoCal, wearing a tank top and flip-flops. I was cuffed and told I was going to get blood drawn. I told them I am a habitual user of medical cannabis so it would absolutely show up in my system. They were fully aware and vocal about the blood test not being able to show when the last use was and even later told me that the whole case would be thrown out and all I had to do is fight it.

Ultimately, it was a monumental waste of time and to add insult to injury, the arresting officer was professing his personal view on the legalization of marijuana, It should just be legal by now, I dont know why it isnt but until then we have to do things like this.

I was not speeding or driving recklessly or even HIGH and pulled over for something completely unrelated to marijuana. I have a painfully high tolerance yet, I was told I was unable to operate a vehicle (they let my roommate drive the car away, who smoked when I had).

Five hours later we were again pulled over in Oregon, this time no arrests but ALL of our medicine was confiscated, in a state that has passed legalization. The cop professed his support of marijuana - thats 2 for 2. Moral of the story: even the cops think pot should be legal. Why as I patient am I not allowed to take my medicine to another state where it is legal? People can take percocets from state to state. Maybe one day we will be able to come out of the dark and be treated like other medical patients. Until then, I guess we are condemned to hiding away.

Sincerely, Desperate for Change

4Cover STORY:

Legalized but Nowhere to Smoke WeedNATHAN FOISYSTAFF EDITOR

Those wishing to visit Colorado in hopes of buying some recreational marijuana and enjoying a kick your feet up and light up vacation, think again. Yes, tourists and residents can legally purchase the cannabis but where can they smoke it? Well, that is a large gray area thus, making it the Colorado Cannabis Conundrum. Where to smoke in this no smoking in public era is the problem in most places where cannabis is legalized or decriminalized. The legalization of buying and selling cannabis in any locale is not the only project that presently needs attention, as designated areas, or a better definition of no smoking in public places also needs attention and to be defined! The issue of where to smoke has residents and especially tourists resorting to sneaking down alleyways, or hiding in their cars (especially rental cars), or smoking on hotel room balconies. The potential for fines for smoking in public or even public intoxication is a constant legitimate fear.

Amendment 64 prohibits the consumption of cannabis and cannabis products on the premises of the places that sell it, additionally cannabis stores cannot sell anything other than marijuana and marijuana related products. This eliminates

the possibility of consuming cannabis in a controlled environment of the dispensary, forcing visitors and users to seek elsewhere to smoke.

The Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act prohibits the smoking of cannabis in bars and restaurants, while Amendment 64 does not permit the consumption openly or publicly, similar to open container laws for drinking in public. Where are all of the residents and visitors supposed to safely enjoy their cannabis? Gray areas abound, and although there are no Amsterdam style smoking clubs or bars in Colorado (yet), there are some hotels, and motels that are 420 friendly. These properties are expanding and changing with the growth of the industry, so be sure to call your hotel before planning any cannabis based trips to Colorado.

Hotels are left to their own discretion on allowing the consumption of marijuana. Hotel balconies, then, seem to be the ideal place to partake, but that can be misconstrued as an open and public place, depending on location and time of day.

Hotels can come across as cannaphobic. It might be some time before they begin to accept cannabis users as regular patrons, rather than stereotyping them. My 420 Tours is the premiere cannabis concierge service. They can assist you with all of your Colorado cannabis tour needs. Go to My420Tours.com/Edibles to view their package options.

Since openly and publicly can indicate several places, such as sidewalks, parks, restaurants, etc., this leaves very little choice for those who wish to consume cannabis without reprimand. Residents of Colorado have the right to smoke and consume in their own privately owned homes, but that still leaves the many tourists with the Colorado Cannabis Conundrum, with no legal place to smoke. Though this issue certainly does not trump the groundbreaking news of widespread cannabis acceptance, it is a concern that should be moved to the forefront. We can buy all the marijuana we want, but if there is nowhere safe and secure for us to smoke it, why bother?

The Last 4 Presidents All Admitted to Smoking Weed

Barack ObamaHe grew up in Hawaii and true to island nature, Obama has been very open with his own cannabis use in the past. He was once quoted saying, I inhaled frequently. That was the point.

Bill ClintonInfamously known for other controversy, Clinton famously stated that he tried smoking marijuana but didnt inhale. However, he has been known to bend the truth every now and then.

George W. BushBush publicly refused to answer when asked if he has smoked cannabis. He was later caught saying he refused to talk about it, because I dont want some little kid doing what I tried.

Jimmy CarterAlong with his efforts to legalize marijuana, its rumored that Carter hosted many marijuana smoke filled events at the White House. Most would assume Carter tried it at least once in his life.

Calvin Broadus, Jr., otherwise known as Snoop Dogg, announced that he plans to raise and then invest $25 million for startups in the booming cannabis industry. Snoop previously has invested in companies such as web giant Reddit and the stock-trading service Robinhood.

Tech Crunch reported that Snoops investment will not be directly dealing with the cultivation and selling of cannabis, it will include startup ventures and industry technology. We think Snoops not just blowing smoke about his plans, he is known for his expertise in this field thus, giving him the hands on knowledge for successfully investing in this market. There are few people more knowledgeable on the subject of cannabis.

It is encouraging to see leaders from a wide range of industries enter the this booming market by investing and working together to shift negative perspectives into financial boons and cultural norms.

Now that cannabis has received its public spotlight, people are lining up to invest and fund businesses in this industry, thus giving it the chance it deserves in our society. Snoops investment is another stepping stone that is helping cannabis and cannabis companies gain the exposure and stability they need. One thing for certain is that Snoop Dogg will certainly put his expertise on the subject to good use.

Snoop to Raise $25 Million for Cannabis Related Startups

celeb pot newsKelly Clarkson admitted that she sees nothing wrong with smoking marijuana.

I cannot understand the fact that controlled narcotic substances and alcohol are legal and weed isnt, she said as part of Us Weeklys 25 Things You Dont Know About Me list.

How many people do you know who have died from weed? My point exactly, she drove home.

Seth Rogen made headline news when The Hollywood Reporter broke a story that Amy Pascal (former Sony chief) had to delay her office move because Seths former office reeked so badly of weed. An alleged internal memo went out stating that Pascal would move into temporary offices until the odor was sufficiently eliminated.

While no one was available to comment at Sony, Rogen mocked the rumors on Instagram, I dont know whats more irresponsible: that they would print a story that is completely untrue, or that they would refer to how pot smells as a stench.

Bethenny Frankel, star of the Real Housewives of New York City and host of her own daytime talk show Bethenny, is adding cannabis to her Skinnygirl empire. Known for Skinnygirl Cocktails, she plans to launch her own edible line of Skinnygirl marijuana in Alaska, Colorado, Oregon, and Washington.

It will be a specially engineered strain of pot designed to not give you the munchies, an insider close to the Skinnygirl cocktails creator, 44, told Us Weekly. She read about how profitable the cannabis industry is and wants to get in on that.

Former Broncos tight end Nate Jackson, spoke out at a cannabis conference in Denver this month publicly supporting cannabis. Nate stated that he thinks the NFL should allow marijuana use so players can treat the physical pain that comes with the job of being a football player, without having to become reliant on opiate painkillers.

Jackson testified that he avoided using opiate pharmaceutical drugs as much as he could during his six-year career from 2003-2008. He chose to self-medicate with cannabis to avoid the same fate of his fellow contemporaries, retired and addicted to prescription drugs.

It kept my brain clean, Jackson said.

2 tablespoons cannabutter2 tablespoons canna extra-virgin olive oil1 large onion, chopped5 large Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch cubes1 large carrot, coarsely shredded

Ingredients:2 pounds cooked corned beef, cubed2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leavessalt to taste (optional)1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Instructions: Melt cannabutter with the canna olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook the onion just until it begins to brown, about 8 minutes; stir in the potatoes and carrot, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cubed corned beef, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture cook until hash is crisp and browned, stirring often, 10 to 15 more minutes.

*For quickest infusion method, try the Easy Butter Maker.

Instructions:Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Melt the unsweetened chocolate in a cup or small bowl in the microwave. Stir at 15 second intervals until chocolate is smooth. Allow to cool slightly. Transfer to a large bowl, and stir in the cannabutter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Stir in the flour just until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven until the surface appears dry and the sides are beginning to pull away from the edges of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. The brownies may look more like cake and may jiggle slightly in the center- this is normal. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan set over a wire rack. To make the middle layer, beat 1/2 cup of cannabutter with confectioners sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Add milk as needed to get a spreadable consistency. Stir in the peppermint extract and green food coloring. Spread this over the cooled pan of brownies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes

In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips with the cannabutter until melted. Stir every 20 seconds until chocolate is smooth.

Several years ago I was approached by a food entrepreneur, he was getting ready to demo and sell his line of shelf stable marijuana infused beverages at a Hemp festival. He wanted to make sure that he had made the product properly and followed all the sanitation guidelines. I looked at his bloated sealed bottles of marijuana infused juice and asked him what his pH was and his time/temperature thermal process. I got a blank stare in return. The entrepreneur told me he figured the unknown amount of citric acid he had added to his batch was enough to preserve it and make it safe.

Having spent the last 18 years working in the food industry, I can tell you that Food safety is the #1 priority by both food manufacturers and government regulators. Our food supply is closely monitored by the FDA, the USDA, as well as local and state health departments. The laws are strict but they are there to protect us from getting sick and protect our food from spoiling and going to waste. Unfortunately, these federal agencies do not monitor the production of marijuana infused food products and the food makers have been left to figure out food safety for themselves. To the novice, food safety usually just means washing your hands or keeping hot foods hot and cold foods cold. The creation of food products, especially shelf-stable food products such as cookies, candy and beef jerky is far more complex and involves understanding how

to prevent pathogenic (deadly) bacteria from growing in our food. The inhibition of pathogenic bacteria is directly connected to the amount of sugar, salt, acid in the food as well as the moisture level, pH and added preservatives. Understanding these bacteria inhibitors is what allows us to have baked goods that last for months, canned goods that last for years and pasteurized juices that are good for several months in the refrigerator. The USDA and FDA have guidelines on their website available to anyone for review.

The amount of information needed to safely formulate food products is overwhelming. Unless you understand food safety rules and regulations it is important to proceed with caution and only make food products that do not require refrigeration. Shelf stable food products that never require refrigeration are referred to as Non Potentially Hazardous Foods and includes items like brownies, candy and chocolate. Since cakes, candy and cookies are for the most part high in sugar and/or baked to a very dry state, they do not support bacteria growth, which prefers lower sugar and high moisture environments. In addition to only making safe non perishable foods, developers should make sure that they properly label their food product and try to follow the FDA labeling guidelines as much as possible. At the minimum a Nutrition Facts Panel should include:

Product Name Serving Size

Servings per Product MG THC per serving Calories Macronutrients (Fats, Carbohydrate, Protein) Ingredients in descending order by weight The official Allergens (Milk, Egg, Fish, Shellfish, Nuts (Including Coconuts), Wheat, Peanuts, Soybeans should be clearly stated on the package. Ingredients that some may be Sensitive to: Sesame seeds, Mustard, Gluten.

Serving sizes are extremely important because it tells the consumer how much of the food product they need to eat in order to ingest the proper amount of THC medicine. Serving sizes should be clearly stated by weight and not 1/4 of a bar because eyeballing measurements is not the most accurate method.

Dont make claims like gluten free or Non-GMO unless the product and ingredients have been tested by a third party laboratory and have confirmed paper trails. Avoid making health claims that imply the product can cure illness or has high amounts of certain vitamins.

Marijuana-Infused food labels are not being monitored by federal agencies but food makers should educate themselves and self regulate by following as many FDA guidelines as possible because those regulations will protect your customer from getting sick, consuming allergens or being misled by incorrect claims and statements.

B. LE GRANDEDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Following in the steps of Colorado, Washington, Alaska, and Oregon, the District of Columbia defied threats from Congress, and legalized the recreational use and possession of cannabis on Thursday, March 5th, 2015, thus becoming the first territory east of the Mississippi River to legalize marijuana.

Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser, who took office in January, said it was her duty to implement the initiative city voters approved overwhelmingly in November.

The new law went into effect despite last-minute maneuvers by Republican leaders in Congress and threats that city leaders could face prison time.

This is a major milestone on the road to ending marijuana prohibition in the United States, said Robert Capecchi of the Marijuana Policy Project, which advocates for legalization. If the president can brew and drink beer in the White House, adults should be allowed to grow and consume a less harmful substance in their houses.

In DC, possession of up to 2 ounces of pot for use at home is now legal, and people are also permitted to grow up to three mature plants. Smoking marijuana in public remains illegal, as does buying or selling the drug.

Two days prior to DCs initiative going through, Alaska also implemented a voter initiative legalizing the private use, sharing and cultivation of recreational pot, but lawmakers there wont implement the next phase creating a regulated market where legal marijuana can be sold and taxed until 2016 at least.

The Districts initiative was approved by 65 percent of the voters in November 2014. The initiative only addressed personal possession, not taxation or regulation. While DC leaders acknowledge that Congress blocked any effort to implement a legal marijuana market, they believe Congress acted too late to stop legalization for private use.

Members of the Oversight Committee wrote a letter to Bowser, warning that by spending money to change marijuana laws, District officials would be violating the Anti-Deficiency Act, which prohibits misappropriating federal funds. The Anti-Deficiency Act was originally enacted in 1884, with major amendments occurring in 1950.

No one has ever been convicted or indicted, although city and federal workers and agencies have been punished administratively for violations. While conviction seems unlikely, the Oversight Committee demanded to see all District documents detailing money spent and time put in by city employees to implement the initiative. However, it would be up to the Justice Department, not Congress, to prosecute District officials.

Bullying the District of Columbia is not what his constituents expect, nor do ours, Bowser said. We do disagree on a matter of law. There are reasonable ways to resolve that without us threatening him or he us.

Congress has not vetoed a specific city law in 25 years. Instead, members often add language to critical pieces of federal legislation to undo unfavorable city policies. The language on cannabis was included in a spending bill President Barack Obama signed to keep the government running.

Four days after DCs new policy took effect, a bipartisan group of three Senators introduced a historic bill Tuesday that could end the federal ban on medical marijuana, now legal in 23 states.

The plan sponsored by Republican Senator Rand Paul and Democratic Senators Cory Booker and Kirsten Gillibrand would allow patients, doctors and businesses in states that have already passed medical marijuana laws to participate in those programs without fear of federal prosecution, according to a statement the three Senators released March 9th.

Doctors and patients deserve federal laws that are fair and compassionate, and states should be able to set their own medical marijuana policies without federal interference, said Sen. Booker.

I am thankful to Senators Gillibrand and Paul as well as the Drug Policy Alliance for their hard work on this common-sense bill to make medical marijuana accessible to the millions of Americans who could benefit from it.

The bill would reclassify cannabis as Schedule II or III, completely declassifying the most medically beneficial low-THC high-CBD strains, essentially ending the federal ban on marijuana. This change alone would lift the current restrictions on studying cannabis, because the government cannot federally fund research of a Schedule I drug.

Beyond the rescheduling of the cannabis, it would open up full banking access for marijuana businesses, and allow easier access for war veterans to obtain medicinal cannabis. It would also get the government out of doctor-patient relations and save taxpayer money on medical dispensary raids.

Inclusive in the massive list of changes in the way marijuana is treated legally, is ending federal raids and other forms of interference towards state medical marijuana programs. Not all states would have to adopt medical marijuana, unless voted in, but it would protect the states that already have it in place.

Talking about reducing the role of government interference in our personal lives and enhancing personal freedom and autonomy, reducing government spending those are all conservative talking points, Dan Riffle of the Marijuana Policy Project says.

This historic announcement of such legislation has many legalization advocates applauding the senators efforts. But it isnt actually the first of its kind to get introduced. Senate Bill H.R.499 Ending Federal Prohibition on Marijuana Act of 2013 was introduced in February of 2013. In December 2014, signaling this major shift in drug policy, a provision buried deep within a 1,603 federal spending measure quietly ended the federal governments prohibition on medical marijuana.

Marijuana has been sold and regulated in the United States as early as 1860. The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937 placed a tax on the sale of cannabis, causing the first man to go to jail in history for cannabis, for not paying tax on a joint.

George Washington and Thomas Jefferson both grew hemp. Ben Franklin owned a mill that made hemp paper and the Declaration of Independence was drafted by Jefferson on hemp paper. From 1942-1957 the government encouraged farmers to grow hemp and issued tax stamps for the cultivation of hemp fiber. As early as the 1600s, it was mandatory for Colonies under the crown of the European motherland to farm hemp.

As cannabis and hemp have been legal and illegal in the past federally, it would appear that history is certain to repeat itself. While there seems to be major light at the end of the tunnel for our industry, the bill would still have to be voted into effect by both houses of Congress.

FEDERAL PROHIBITION ENDS?Cover feature:featured NEWS:

Marijuana supporters in Maine have filed an initiative to see the recreational use of cannabis legalized on the 2016 ballot vote in order to join the ranks of using cannabis without a prescription along with the already legalized states of Colorado and Washington. The 2014 positive ballot decisions for legalization in Alaska, Oregon, and the District of Columbia have prompted the Maine initiative.

Legalize Maine, the group leading the citizens initiative to legalize the recreational use of marijuana, believes that legalizing marijuana would greatly benefit its economy. Paul McCarrier, the groups executive director, stated, The measure, filed with the secretary of states office, would treat marijuana like an agricultural product, encourage local farmers to grow it, then tax its sale at 10 percent, helping buoy state and local coffers.

To that end, Legalize Main recently announced the hiring of Lynne Williams as Supervisor and Volunteer Coordinator for the signature drive to place An Act to Legalize Marijuana on the 2016 ballot. Ms. Williams, an attorney in Bar Harbor, worked with Legalize Maine in the drafting of the citizens initiative, and has represented medical marijuana patients and caregivers for more than a decade.

Legalize Maine wants to ensure that big businesses including out-of-state players and wealthy individuals dont completely dominate the industry. The groups ballot measure calls for devoting 40% of cultivation licenses in the state to small-scale farmers. McCarrier said the goal is to create an infrastructure that benefits Maine residents and independent businesses.

Portland, Maine has already legalized the recreational use of marijuana. Director McCarrier stated; Whether people are against it or for it in Maine, they just want to vote on it and put the issue to bed. The ballot will also introduce ideas of smoking clubs, which at present seems like a long shot for a positive outcome with Main voters. The Marijuana Policy Project wishes to put similar measures on the 2016 ballot for states such as California, Massachusetts, Arizona, and Nevada. Maines primarily rural environment would profit both financially and agriculturally from a successful outcome. Dispensaries in Maine sold an estimated $16.2 million worth of medical cannabis last year, while the state collected around $900,000 in taxes on those transactions, according to the latest figures. The tax haul was about 40% more than 2013, according to the Portland Press Herald translating to also 40% more in earnings. Legalization would mean an exponential increase for Mains coffers at a time when the State needs the fund more than ever. Lets hope this is something that Maine voters will do well to look into when the measure is put to ballot.
