Late last year, the Italian Army revealed it would be taking a stand for the Italian people, by selling their own medical marijuana and undercutting current prices. Now, less than one year later the Army is almost ready to begin sales.

According to iMarijuana.com, Italian law reads as follows: Medical use of substances prepared with marijuana is legal in Italy, if provided by medical prescription. Otherwise, cannabis is illegal in Italy and an imprisonment of 1-6 years for small amounts and imprisonment of 6-20 years may be imposed on big amounts of cultivation.

The use of medical cannabis to qualified patients has been legal since 2007, but since there are no licensed producers in the country and imported cannabis is so costly, patients are forced to obtain their medicine via black market purchases. Imported grams can cost up to 40 euros ($45) each making it inaccessible for most patients.

The secure army facility housing the grow operation is located just outside of Florence. It was chosen, as it is currently responsible for developing several pharmaceuticals and already has the necessary security in place. Reportedly, it will produce 100kg (220lb) annually.

Colonel Antonio Medica, Director of the Facility, tells the Corriere della Sera website, Were aiming to lower the price to under 15 euros, maybe even around 5 euros per gram. By moving production to the country, it will drastically drop prices and allow for more patients to obtain the medicine they need.

Currently, private cultivation and distribution of cannabis is still illegal in Italy.

medible FEATURE: YUMMI KARMAINFUSED SAUCES & NEW INFUSED CHIPS


Breaking News: We have an Edibles List approved vendor that you have check out! If you havent come across their products yet, watch out because Yummi Karma is coming in hot! CEO Krystal Kithara is a young entrepreneur, who after graduating with a business degree started several small businesses, interned at a marketing agency, and even worked in corporate media, as an account executive. Shortly thereafter, she realized there was a way for her to impact the world, through cannabis, and thus, Yummi Karma was born. She saw a need in the market and realized she was just the person to fill it. Yummi Karma focuses on products that are unique and favored by women. By using this approach, Yummi Karma is quickly making a name for themselves. The brand is determined to bring the highest quality products to patients and strives to help change the face of cannabis. Kithara is adamant about being part of the cause; she is a supporter of Women Grow, an organization that empowers women in the industry and even donates of portion of their proceeds to organizations dedicated to making our industry better and safer. Yummi Karma offers a full line of savory edibles, something that is severely lacking in this business. Coming from someone who does not have a sweet tooth nor wants to consume 3,000 calories in one sitting, to receive the desired effects of my medicine, I could not have been anymore excited when a bottle of infused salad dressing came across my desk for the first time. Their savory line currently consists of two salad dressings; Balsamic Vinaigrette and Asian Sesame, as well as a full line of sauces; Honey BBQ Sauce, Teriyaki Sauce, Hot Sauce and Sriracha Sauce. The BBQ sauce is by far my favorite, and is just as good as (arguably better than) any mainstream BBQ sauce. It is both sweet and smoky, think more Sweet Baby Rays than Jack Daniels. As opposed to most edibles on the market, there is only a hint of the cannabis flavor, not enough to overpower the flavor in the sauces. This is something extremely attractive to those who may be just starting with cannabis or even folks like myself who hate the taste of it shh,

dont tell my bosses I dont like eating weed! I wouldnt want to forget about YKs hot sauces either. Being from Southern California, I can handle the heat and am a natural skeptic when given any new hot sauces; however, I did really enjoy both the Sriracha sauce and hot sauce. While the Sriracha sauce is more flavorful, the heat is subtle, whereas the heat of the hot sauce has a quick onset and lingering flavor. On my personal hot sauce Richter scale, Id rate the Sriracha sauce at - 4 and the hot sauce 6.5. Yummi Karma has also recently extended their savory product line to include drumroll please INFUSED POTATO CHIPS! I hope all of you are as excited about this as I am! I mean, who wouldnt be excited about potato chips, but these are infused potato chips, that come in Salt & Pepper as well as Sriracha flavors. These are not like the bag of Lays you get at the market. My taste buds danced as I put a visibly hand-cut chip into my mouth. The Sriracha chips are obviously nothing short of amazing, but it was the salt & pepper chips that were perfectly seasoned and delectable (and green). In addition to the aforementioned products, Yummi Karma has added another not so savory, yet still not sugary-sweet product, Apple Crisps. These delicious dehydrated apples are dusted in cinnamon and are the perfect on-the-go snack for anyone. Not too sweet, but they are a healthier alternative to the usual infused baked goods. Yummi Karma was created to fill a very apparent gap in the market and clearly they are accomplishing that feat, and then some. As far as we can tell, this company will only continue to grow and succeed. This brand is spot on from everything including packaging to flavor and I am personally eager to see what comes next from this zesty company! Spoiler Alert: Yummi Karma is launching a female-geared collection called Canna Girls by Yummi Karma. This line will feature topicals and tinctures specifically formulated to help women! Ladies, trust me when I say you should have gone out and picked up these new products, yesterday. Cheers & Happy Medicating!

WICHITA, KS - Cannabis activist and author of Live Free or Die: Reclaim your life Reclaim Your Country!, Shona Banda, was met with stern police officers at her front door and in her backyard as she returned to her home on March 24 at 3pm. The officers demanded access to her home, in suspicion of possession of marijuana, which is illegal in the state of Kansas. Bewildered, (as she was unaware of the events occurring earlier in the day at her sons school), she denied authorities entry into her home without a search warrant. The officers would not let Banda enter the premises as they waited the three hours for it to be issued. Earlier that afternoon, in a drug education class, Shonas 11-year-old son spoke out and contradicted police officers anti-cannabis propaganda that he knew to be false. He was removed and questioned by authorities without consent from either Banda or her estranged husband. According to a Garden City Police Department press release, officers were initially contacted to check the welfare of Bandas son after he reportedly told school officials, His mother and other adults in his residence were avid drug users and that there was a lot of drug use occurring in his residence. Shona is a true patient who calls marijuana, cannabis and found a way to treat her Crohns disease by vaporizing the oil, back when she lived in Colorado. Even though she lives in Kansas, she keeps a small personal supply on hand to keep her symptoms at bay. Banda explained in an exclusive interview with BenSwann.com, It

helps me better than any pharmaceutical I had ever hadjust smoking it. Upon raiding her home, the Garden City Police Department stated they found approximately 1 1/4 pounds of suspected marijuana was located to include a lab for manufacturing cannabis oil on the kitchen table. She faces possible charges of: Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute, Felony Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, Misdemeanor Possession of Drug Paraphernalia, and Endangering a Child. She has yet to be formally charged. Her son was officially seized and placed into protective custody until an emergency hearing was scheduled. Shonas ex was ultimately granted custody of the child as she lost the hearing on April 20. Since then, a gag order has been issued and it is unclear if Banda will, in fact, be charged. On May 7, HB 2048 was passed by the House and is heading to the Senate for a vote. If passed, the bill will decrease penalties for marijuana possession, allow the limited production and sale of hemp oil for seizure treatments, use of this oil will be granted to qualifying the patients, and study uses of industrial hemp. This bill will decrease states overcrowded prisons and save more than $1.7 million over the next two fiscal years, according to state estimates. It would allow only state-licensed productions to grow and create hemp oil. The bill also mandates that an extract, mixture or preparation containing cannabis plant material that is no more than 3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) by weight. Rep. John Wilson (D) from Lawrence, crafted the medical marijuana language and said that only residents with severe seizure disorders would be allowed to purchase the hemp oil, estimating the number at about 24,000 patients.

May 8, 2015 House Bill 321, allowing up to 16 dispensaries throughout the Hawaiian Islands, was approved for Hawaii Gov. David Iges signature. The bill came 15 years after Hawaii approved the use of medical cannabis, but at that time, failed to create a dispensary system for customers to purchase the product. Thus until now, users had to either grow their own, or purchase on the black market. The Hawaii Senate voted unanimously and the House voted 36-13 to pass the bill, allowing 8 licenses, each license covers up to two dispensaries, and two production centers, totaling 16 stores and production outlets. It allows up to 6 on Oahu, 4 each on Maui and the big island of Hawaii, and 2 on Kauai. Governor Ige, a proponent of this measure, is expected to sign the bill. Requirements for the licenses are: $5,000 application fee, $75,000 per license annual fee if selected, a stringent security check, and a history of success in business along with 1.2 million in accessible funds. Applications for dispensary licenses would become available in January. The measure almost did not get out of the committee when it apparently died after the chief negotiators, Sen. Josh Green and Rep. Della Au Belatti, could not reach an agreement, in the final hour of conference committee deliberations. Green wanted to require businesses to have at least $2 million and individual applicants to be limited to health care providers. The final version does not have any such requirement. Green originally pushed for allowing just one licensee per county, while Belatti originally requested 26. The new bill will allow eight total, with three on Oahu. The final sticking point that halted negotiations came when Green wanted the state to start accepting applications as soon as July 15 of this year, with licenses being awarded first-come, first-served. Belatti said the license awards should be merit-based. The merit system, which may allow for legislative or gubernatorial discretion as to who is the best qualified, won out. In an

unusual move, Senate President Donna Mercado Kim and House Speaker Joe Souki decided to reconsider the measure after 16 senators signed a petition expressing support for the final House draft of the bill. Committee chairman Green was removed from the committee and was replaced as Chief Senate Negotiator, by Sen. Will Espero, who took over as lead negotiator for the Senate. After the passage of the measure Espero said, Hawaii finally got it right, we are now on the verge of having a safe, secure product for our patients who need this, and in particular the children who will benefit greatly from medical marijuana. Later in the week, legislature approved the bill. Unlike the Senate, which passed the measure unanimously, there were mixed feelings from House members, who were concerned over what this measure would lead to, namely legalization of recreational marijuana. Rep. Marcus Oshiro (D) said he wants a well-run, carefully regulated system for providing medical marijuana to patients, but the proposed law does not properly spell out how the operators of this lucrative dispensary business will be selected. He said the bills language allows dispensary operators to subcontract portions of their operations, which could get around background check and other safeguards. On the other side of the debate, House health chairwoman Della Au Belatti noted, this bill has had many hands work on it and is truly the peoples bill.

Hawaii will start accepting licensee applications Jan. 11, 2016. The application window will close Jan. 29, after which the Department of Health will evaluate the applications. Licensees will be announced on April 15. Under the proposal, dispensaries could begin operating as soon as July 2016.

Several Hawaii based bloggers have expressed their disdain towards the big and rich business requirements, including the 1.2 million in assets needed, in order, to apply for a license. They feel that small business entrepreneurs and most of the local small businesses (such as head shops) are left out in the cold with this unfair advantage. The $5,000 non-refundable application fee, and the $75,000 annual license fees are exorbitant. Add the cost of securing a storefront dispensary, and a location for grow operations, and you come out with an overall

start-up cost that was meant specifically for big businesses and very rich individuals. Many want to know if the intent of the bill is to provide access to people in need of medical cannabis or is it to serve revenue generation for the state of Hawaii and select businesses that may or may not have put a little cash down in campaign contributions?

WHATS NEXT?Stephen Pingree, a Lawyer from UCSD and California Western Law School blogged a capsulized itinerary of the measures necessary for a potential licensee before applying, along with his positive comments of the bill passed.

H.B.321 H.D.1 S.D.2 C.D.1 is an excellent legal precedent for medical marijuana patients to legally obtain their medicine. The law will be amended and improved on at the next legislative session: all other states that have legalized medical marijuana have done so. For now it is critical that all potential applicants understand not just the law, but, all the legal, financial and business parts that must be organized before the application deadline of January 12, 2016. Besides meeting the legal entity and owner requirements, applicants need to have financial resources of $1.2 million plus fees, financial statements, tax documents, audit procedures and resources, secure two physical properties for the dispensary and the grow/production facilities (2 for each dispensary license), a security plan, inventory control seed to sale software, survey and architectural plans for the dispensary and the grow/production facilities (up to a maximum of 3,000 plants), grow and extraction expertise, employee procedures, criminal background checks, transportation security, product development and packaging, testing, State and Federal law coordination and, more. Stephen P. Pingree, J.D., Attorney at Law, www.hawaiimarijuanabusinesslawyer.com. The general consensus on the dispensary bill is that it will greatly increase the number of medical marijuana users, with a readily available supply that is inspected for quality and safety. Hawaii residents will still have to wait a year when dispensaries open to see the results.

B. LE GRANDEDITOR-IN-CHIEF

Puerto Rican Gov. Alejandro Garcia Padilla (D), signed an executive order May 3, that would have authorized the medicinal use of marijuana, for certain conditions under the control of the health department.

The original heavily debated bill introduced in 2013 was never put to vote. The U.S. Territory does not currently have a ballot initiative process. Gov. Padilla used his executive authority to immediately enact the bill. Puerto Rico would have joined the 23 U.S. States, District of Colombia and Guam that allow medical marijuana.

Gov. Padilla said in a statement, Were taking a significant step in the area of health that is fundamental to our development and quality of life... I am sure that many patients will receive appropriate treatment that will offer them new hope.

The governor added that several studies conducted in the United States, demonstrated that cannabis could assist in pain relief from serious diseases. It is not certain if they would allow local cultivation of cannabis or plan to import the medicine.

Less than five days later, he reversed his proposal, stating they will not legalize the smoking of marijuana for medicinal purposes. However, patients would be able to obtain other forms of cannabis consumption, such as inhalants or capsules.

Padilla gave legalization proponents false hope when he directed Health Secretary Ana Rius to authorize use of some or all controlled substances or derivatives of cannabis for medicinal use. Rius was then to submit a report that would outline how the program should be carried out, as well as determine its impact and future implementation. She also noted that the University of Puerto Rico is collaborating with two U.S. companies to determine the use and production of medical marijuana.

Justice Secretary Cesar Miranda made a statement to the Associated Press, smoking marijuana is not being contemplated as part of a medical treatment.

Rius seconded the notion by noting that smoking marijuana remains a crime in Puerto Rico. It is unclear whether the joint research with the U.S. companies has also been suspended, or whether Padilla will clarify exactly what legal methods of consuming medicinal cannabis will be made available to patients.

Close to 100 Marijuana dispensaries in Vancouver, Canada have the city calling for stricter regulations, including a $30,000 licensing fee. The city disclosed a list of at least 84 Marijuana businesses, with local CBC media adding at least 9 more, including start-ups for a total of at least 93 businesses related to Marijuana. At present some are not licensed, and many accept a notarized, signed statement of illness for purchase, without a prescription. One of the most talked about stipulations is for dispensaries to be situated at least 300 meters from schools. At present 40% of the businesses do not meet that proposed requirement.

Vancouvers lack of cannabis business regulations has spawned huge growth in dispensaries with little regulation, or enforcement. According to Tobin Postma, a city spokesman, The city has no jurisdiction on regulating the selling of products all we can do is regulate land use. He said, the city hopes to create a new business license category, charge a $30,000 fee, ban pot shops from certain areas and require them to be 300 meters away from schools, community centers and each other. Public safety is the main concern as well as accessibility for the users.

While Vancouver debates dispensary regulations, marijuana for medicinal use is the focus. Legalization for recreational use may be a long time coming, especially since the present regulations lack the teeth necessary to prevent recreational use. Canadas marijuana laws are set at the federal level, meaning that legalization would in theory provide the opportunity for foreign investment and exports.

Before Canada can consider opening a recreational marijuana market, it must first successfully implement their new medicinal marijuana regulations, which have already proved problematic for many of Canadas 40,000 medicinal marijuana users. But with nearly 100 dispensaries in Vancouver alone, there are buyers and users that get their pot much easier than United State cites, and the Canadian pot market is booming. However, while Vancouver is looking at regulating the citys booming marijuana dispensary business, Victoria is considering a crackdown on those flouting its bylaws. A recent count of 18 dispensaries, up from 4 last year in Victoria, showed the majority operating without a license. City staff is urging council to direct them to step up enforcement of existing bylaws and business license rules, meaning that marijuana-related businesses that wont comply could be shut down. Victoria is the countrys Capital, and the city wants to make an example of businesses that dont follow the law, or arent licensed. It seems the country is following the USs path, perhaps, lagging behind a year or two. On the other hand our neighbor to the south, Puerto Rico this month legalized Marijuana, and it looks like we are following in that countrys footsteps, perhaps a year or two behind, still picking up the pace.

In the Medibles worldaccuracy is very important. You need every piece of brownie or chocolate to be the same size and weight - as well having consistent amounts of active medicine inside. I often get calls from small food companies asking me how they can scale up their recipe to an industrial size. Clients will often ask, I measure my liquids with a measuring cup and I use teaspoons to weight out my salt and sugar- is that ok??

I answer NO!! A recipe and a formula are not really the same thing (although they are often used interchangeably) a recipe is what you make in your house, and record your amounts in cups, tablespoons and pinches. A formula is how a professional food maker will document your information and is based on pounds, kilograms, grams and other weight measurements. These weights are then converted to percentages so any amount or batch size can be made on those confirmed percentages.

This means that if you have 2 cups of water in your recipe, you have to weigh it outand 2 cups of honey will not weigh the same amount as that water, and a cup of corn syrup will also have a different weight. This is because all these ingredients have different densities. The density of water is 1 gram per 1 ml (volume) but the density of honey is about 1.4 gram per 1 ml (volume) and different types of honey even have different densities!

Here is a sample of a simple conversion of a homemade recipe to a professional industrial formulation:

This very simple mathematical conversion will ensure that your staff will be consistent with their food measurements. Consistency will translate to cost savings as well as ensure that each portion will have the right amount of active medicinal ingredients. After all, if the batch comes out too large, the medicine portion may be, by percentagenot as much as it was the last time you made it.

The states are unhappy about the issues it has caused along their borders. The states cite it as a cross border nuisance, increasing the amount of cannabis supply in the region. The Supreme Court has asked the Obama Administration to weigh in on the issue as it considers the lawsuit. The Administration has always left it to the State to decide individually about cannabis, although it is illegal at a federal level. The Department of Justice will continue to investigate.

medible FEATURE: Colorado Bill May AllowMedical Marijuana in SchoolsB. LE GRAND

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF

DENVER - Senate Bill 14 cracks down on large, unregulated, medical cannabis grow operated by caregivers. However, the bill was amended May 4, which has passed the legislature vote to allow a students prescribed medical marijuana onto school property. The bill has been passed to Gov. John Hickenlooper (D), who has 30 days to sign or reject it. A spokeswoman for the governor explained that he would be signing it, according to Fox News. The revision, called Jacks Amendment, is named for Jack Splitt, a 14-year-old middle school student from Lakewood. Jacks mother testified that her son is unable to attend school if using medical marijuana as it is banned from school property.

Splitt suffers from dystonia, a neurological movement disorder that causes his muscles to contract uncontrollably. He also has spastic cerebral palsy. Both of his severe conditions have symptoms that are alleviated by medicinal cannabis in a way that no other medicine provides.

Stacey Linn, Jacks mother, said her son could return to school, only if SB 14 becomes law, with Jacks Amendment intact.Its his favorite thing to do, Linn said, noting that other kids get to take prescribed speed and narcotics on school property.The bill requires cannabis to be administered in an appropriate time and place, by a parent or medical professional that accompanies the child to school. But the primary purpose of SB14 is to create a stricter system for regulating undocumented medical marijuana caregivers. The bill sets the limit on grows to 99 plants, without registration.

Rep. Jonathan Singer, D-Longmont, said that before dispensaries were approved in 2010, most medical marijuana in Colorado went through caregivers who grow marijuana on behalf of patients who have a doctors recommendation for marijuana.

Singer said that because caregivers operate outside the regulated dispensary system, it has caused confusion for law enforcement when they come across large undocumented grows. In one high-profile case, 32 people who hid illegal grows behind the caregiver law were indicted for trafficking marijuana across state lines.

Were going to be able to do something that will provide clarity for law enforcement around the issue of medical marijuana caregivers, but also providing protections to patients, especially kids who need to be going to school, Singer said. We needed to come up with some hard and fast numbers of what is acceptable and what isnt acceptable ... the caregiver model still has a place here in Colorado, as long as we dont have dispensaries on the eastern plains, western slope and cities like Longmont.

Jason Warf, head of the Southern Colorado Cannabis Council, said the amendment for Jack would be useless because the new plant limit is going to severely limit the supply of medical marijuana and drive up the cost.

It will literally kill patients, Warf said. Most patients who use caregivers in Colorado are our sickest patients. Its impossible to buy the amount they need in dispensaries.

B. LE GRANDEDITOR-IN-CHIEF

JP Holyoak was, in a way, chosen by the cannabis industry. His daughter, Reese, suffers from a rare illness that he believes is helped by the power of medical cannabis. Holyoak was a financial advisor, before he built his commercial cannabis nursery, in a warehouse, in an industrial area near Phoenix Sky Harbor airport. He operates two dispensaries that have served approximately 9,000 patients since their doors opened last year. Holyoak believes that cannabis should be legalized recreationally not because of enthusiasm for the stoner culture, but because he considers it sound conservative policy. Holyoak, a Republican, said he has learned about the total futility of the war on drugs and is convinced that the only two choices are tax and regulate, or enrich criminals. Because of this, he is backing a new ballot initiative asking Arizona voters to legalize recreational pot. He sees it as a wholly separate issue from medical marijuana, which was narrowly approved by the state in 2010 when yes won 50.13% of the vote. The current campaign needs to secure about 150,000 valid signatures by June 2016, to get the proposal on the ballot for the November voting season. Im comfortable and confident that

ARIZONA BILL TO LEGALIZE MARIJUANAwell gather the signatures, said Holyoak. If the ballot passes, Arizona will become the fifth state to pass such legislation, after Washington, Colorado, Oregon and Alaska. Even when state legalization happens, the road to Federal rescheduling is a long and arduous one. Even though the petition drive is just getting started in Arizona, the battle for hearts and minds has already begun and is gaining traction. Near the Phoenix airport is a huge billboard with a picture of a baby eating a cookie. Would your child know if this cookie had pot in it? asks the ad. Under the proposed bill, adults 21 years of age and up would be able to buy a maximum amount of 1oz of cannabis flower from a state-licensed retailer. It would limit personal home growing to six plants per person and twelve plants per household. A 15% marijuana tax would be instated and revenue from the cannabis tax would go towards regulation and public health education. Local cities would have the opportunity to prohibit sales, private property owners can prevent it from being sold on their premises, and employers would be able to enforce drug-free workplaces. In regulating cannabis similarly to alcohol, emphasizing tight control and user responsibility, they are walking the path to convince the skeptics that Arizona will not turn into Amsterdam.

featured NEWs:

B. LE GRANDEDITOR-IN-CHIEFLast year, Oregon legalized recreational cannabis. Sales are expected to begin in early 2016, but edibles may not hit the retail market until early 2017.

The Oregon Liquor Control Commission, also known as OLCC, is the governing agency over Oregons recreational cannabis. Oregons regulatory agencies closely monitored their predecessors in Colorado and Washington.

On April 1st, the OLCC submitted a letter to the Joint Committee on implementing Measure 91.

The letter made a case for delaying the sale of edibles, due to concerns regarding the complexity of developing rules and procedures that would allow processors to safely produce edible products under the timelines described in Measure 91.

The letter identifies several policy issues needing to be addressed, prior to medible regulation being adopted, and manufacturers licenses are approved. These concerns include serving size, packaging/labeling, testing, and types of edibles.

Oregons liquor commission cites that Colorado and Washington define a serving of edible cannabis as 10 milligrams of activated THC but there is little conclusive scientific evidence to support this number.

The lawmakers on the Joint Committee on Implementing Measure 91 have not yet responded to the liquor commissions letter.

Read the edible marijuana products section in the Oregon Liquor Control Commissions letter:The OLCC has identified a number of policy issues that it feels should be addressed prior the adoption of rules and the approval of licenses which manufacture edible marijuana products:

How much THC should be in any one edible marijuana serving? Both Colorado and Washington have settled on a rate of 10 milligrams per serving. There is little conclusive scientific evidence to support this number. The OLCC has asked the Oregon Health Authority to convene a panel of experts to try and answer this question. We have asked for an answer as soon as possible.

How many servings should there be in one product? Some edible products available in OMMP dispensaries contain 500 milligrams of THC or more. This translates into 50 servings in a single product. OLCC has asked the OHA for advice on this issue. Both Colorado and Washington have set a maximum

HOLD OFF ON EDIBLES UNTIL 2017OREGON MAY

of 10 servings per product or a sum total of 100 milligrams of THC.

How should these products be labeled with respect to marijuana? Colorado just completed its third change to its labeling rules for edible products. Washington is undergoing another iteration of its rules regarding labeling. Each time a change has been made the edible manufacturers have had to make new packaging and labels to meet the new rules.

What labeling should be in place for the underlying food product? OLCC staff is currently working with the DOA and OHA to address this issue.

What types of testing should be done on an edible product. OLCC intends to require potency testing and is working with food experts to understand what other tests should be in place before a product can be considered safe.

What type of safety warnings should be included? Colorado requires its products to indicate how many doses are in a package, how long it will take before the product will affect the consumer and warning labels aimed at children. OLCC has asked OHA for help in developing these standards.

What type of product should be allowed? The general public has expressed concern regarding products that appeal to children or mimic existing non-marijuana products. Building rules that clearly protect children will be complicated. The rules drafted by both Colorado and Washington are possible models but OLCC wishes to work with experts in childrens behavior to assure that products sold in OLCC licensed retail establishes cannot be confused with non-marijuana products.

What type of advertising should be allowed on the packaging? Package looks, labels and branding need to be defined by rule to assure that it is both accurate and does not appeal to children.

The dash one amendments to Senate Bill 844 propose to give OLCC an additional year to adopt rules related to edibles. This provision helps to align expectations with the complexity of the issue and grants the agency the necessary time to get our rules right.

The OLCC intends to move as quickly as possible to adopt rules and make edible products available in the recreational market.

General Option:

1. Provide for a one year period to promulgate edible rules, January 2017 (following anticipated retail location licensing in the last quarter of 2016).

2. Do not change law and expect that OLCC will manage this responsibility with the understanding that OLCC should take the time to get it right (phase-in).

Alaska joins Colorado in regulating cannabis by a creating a five-member volunteer team, the Marijuana Control Board. On Monday, May 4th Gov. Bill Walker (D) signed Bill 123 into law. The newly created department will operate under the Department of Commerce, Community, and Economic Development for administrative and regulatory purposes.

The bill outlines the Governor appointed, five person panel will consist of, a current resident in rural of Alaska, someone from the public health sector, someone from the public safety sector, someone currently in the cannabis industry and either someone from the general public, or someone else in the cannabis industry. However, the bill also mandates that no more than two members be allowed to have the same profession, occupation, or business.

A last minute amendment to the bill, also mandates that anyone with on parole, probation or convicted of a felony, within five years, is unable to obtain a license for a marijuana establishment.

I look forward to seeing the hard work of the (Alcoholic Beverage Control) Board continue, and I know the Marijuana Control Board has an incredibly big task ahead, Walker stated in a press release. By empowering the new board with the authority and resources to develop a strong regulatory framework, Alaska has the opportunity to establish clear, consistent, and thorough rules around this substance for the benefit of citizens, licensees, and law enforcement.

He also indicates that he was a supporter of the bill; however, he mentions he will not pass any more legislation until regulations are in place.

The board be closely linked to the Alcohol Control Board, even sharing a director. Currently, the board has been allocated a budget, reportedly being mainly used to hire staff, in order to, accommodate the branch.

Walker also passed Bill 116, extending the termination date of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board to June 30, 2018.

Alaska RegulatesCannabis with Official Agency


Chelsea Handler seems to be moving out of her liquor infused comfort zone. The self-proclaimed, alcohol enthusiast seems to be slowly becoming a cannasseur. Back in February, she shared with fans on Twitter that she had become a legal marijuaner, by going to get her medicinal cannabis card. She even showed off her newly acquired card via picture on Twitter.

Recently, Handler was a guest on NBCs Late Night with Seth Meyers and she took viewers by surprise when she began to reminisce about her first run in with infused medibles. She explains that she took edibles to Mexico on a family trip and as the night went on, ten girls, one by one, went down. However, in true Handler fashion no story could be that simple. The night ended with her sister, the reserved lawyer was the audience to a hilarious set of events and in the end she wasnt even the one who ended up with no clothes on. Perhaps cannabis will show us a tamer side of Chelsea!

Chelsea Handler I like marijuana now!
