LETTER FROM THETEXT EDITOR HERE TEXT HERE Greetings my friends,
Edibles Magazine Issue 32
It’s August and Summer is already almost over. Soon we’ll be picking out our Halloween costumes and beginning the early phases of planning those infused Thanksgiving day dinners, but there’s still a little Summer fun time left so we’re making the most of it with the best set of medicated recipes around. August was known to the Anglo Saxons as “Weed Month” so let’s all try our best to embrace that idea - shouldn’t be difficult. Montel Williams is our featured cover story in this issue: He’s been on a 17 year trek and it’s taken him from having his own award winning daytime TV show, to having his own line of medicinal cannabis products he’s using to help heal patients from all walks of life and you can read all about his journey here.

Q&A: WITH DR. MIKE
TERPENES? Dr. Michael Heller, mjwooly.com Q: What are these terpenes I have been hearing about? A: Terpenes are the flavor compounds of cannabis. They are what give each strain of cannabis its distinct smell and taste. They also are believed to add different effects to cannabis known as the “entourage effect�. Q: What are the most common terpenes? A: The most commonly found terpenes in cannabis are myrcene, limonene, pinene, caryophyllene and linalool. Q: Why does limonene sound like lemon and pinene sound like pine? A: Well simply put limonene is what gives lemons their smell and pinene is what gives pine trees their smell. Terpenes are found in many other plants, myrcene is present in mangoes and linalool is found in lavender. Q: What are the effects of terpenes? A: Each terpene is believed to contribute its own unique attribute to the cannabis experience. Below are some of the reported effects of the most common terpenes. Although most evidence is anecdotal and research needs to be done before terpenes medicinal value is confirmed. Myrcene: sedating, relaxing, THC amplifying, pain relief, anti-inflammatory Limonene: improved mood/euphoria, relaxing, anti-depressant, anti-anxiety Pinene: improved memory, alertness, anti-inflammatory Caryophyllene: muscle spasms, pain relief, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotectant Linalool: sedating, anti-anxiety, anti-depressant, pain relief, stress relief.
Q: Why is myrcene important? A: Myrcene is the only terpene proven to increase the ability of THC to reach the brain, amplifying the effects. Depending on how much is found in a plant will determine if the cannabis has indica or sativa effects.. Q: Are terpenes in Edibles? A: This ultimately depends the concentrate used to make the edible. For example an edible infused with a concentrate made from fresh buds may contain a ton of terpenes. Alternatively, a concentrate made from old dried out bud that was aggressively purged and heated may not have any. The only way to know for sure is to have the edibles terpene content lab tested. Q: Do they affect you differently when smoked or ingested? A: This is a great question. I have not seen any scientific studies yet. However, it is likely that when you are smoking you are getting a much larger dose of terpenes directly into your bloodstream compared to edibles that must be digested and may have lower terpene content to begin with. This is why I believe specific strain effects are much more noticeable when smoking and vaping compared to edibles. Q: What is the difference between cannabis derived and all natural terpenes? A: Well, a molecule of limonene from cannabis is the same as a molecule of limonene from a lemon. But, cannabis has a complex terpene profile with over 200 different possible terpenes found at minute concentrations. This makes it difficult to artificially create a perfect match...although some labs are getting very close. Issue No. 38 I Page 12

Montel Williams has long used his fame as an outspoken advocate for legalizing medicinal cannabis use due to a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 1999. Williams contributed to legalization efforts in New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut. Following a “horrific battle� with opioid painkillers and addiction, Williams found that cannabis was the total package medicinally, he uses cannabis daily to help with his MS caused-neuropathic pain, which manifests in intense burning sensations from head to toe. In addition to reducing his pain, Williams states that cannabis has alleviated much of the depression he and many other MS patients suffer from. Williams created Foundation, a
the MS nonprofit
organization with a focus on research and education a year after his own diagnosis. Williams has openly stated that he uses medical cannabis for many years, he has become a vocal advocate of cannabis, supporting efforts to pass medical cannabis laws in states, as well as calling for full legalization. It is with his activism that the community has started to understand and embrace medical cannabis as a true medicine that was denied us since the 1930’s. It is with the support of public figures that the movement of medical cannabis is moving forward and assisting patients with natural plant based alternatives. Montel tried to keep his diagnosis private, however, when a tabloid newspaper threatened to print his story, he decided to go public with his health crisis. Montel spoke about his diagnosis on his talk show, but few people knew how much he was suffering, on set, Montel conducted interviews with poise, but during commercial breaks, he says he'd go backstage, sit down and cry because of the pain. He worked on mentally refocusing to ease the pain, then go back on stage, unbeknownst to his guests and audience members, Montel did this regime for many years, while hosting The Montel Williams TV Show. Montel has said that cannabis helps him function in life, he has consumed cannabis every day for 17 years as a result of his MS. His activism and advocacy has been a personal journey for his health and wellbeing. The foundation that he started has been seeking a cure not only for Williams himself, but for the community of MS patients in need. With the philosophy of cannabis as a necessary medicine, his new advocacy is a clean pure medicine to alleviate pain and bring better health while living with chronically debilitating

I had the pleasure to try the Lenitiv Mini Shot Drink recently and the taste was a fruit juice drink formula. With an array of fruit juices of strawberry, coconut, acai, mango, pineapple, raspberry and pomegranate juices and the drink has a delicious smoothie consistency. Most notable that they have developed a system that dispenses the cannabis formulation at the moment of consumption and this is a unique delivery system and the first of its kind within the cannabis market. The Mini One Shot does not require refrigeration, comes in 20MG, 50MG & 100MG doses, and is available in THC and CBD formulations. They also have a CO2 Oil formula that you may eat or vaporise and is has a proprietary terpene profile that provides a unique flavor and great taste. At this time Lenitiv products are available in California, but will be coming in the future to other medical or recreational states.

Cannabis Company Buys Entire Town in San Bernardino
ULTRASONICS for Cannabis
Darcy Thompson
As every business person knows, not every plan succeeds. It’s not out of this world to lose a million on this investment or a few million on that new business idea. According to KTLA news, “the entire town of 120 acres,” of Nipton California, “was purchased…” The buyer, American Green Inc., the investment, supposedly 15 million dollars, the plan, make Nipton a cannabis vacation destination. I mean, this is big news, every stoner's dream, like Disney Land but for weed. My imagination ran wild, but then I looked at it a little deeper.

Nipton is literally a no nothing town, that looks like it doesn’t even have the population to staff the currently run down looking RV and camping park. Situated just on the border of California and Nevada, on the edge of the Mojave National Preserve. After thinking this through, why would anyone drive a whole hour outside of Las Vegas, where you can legally buy weed 1:41 PM already, to go to the middle of nowhere, to stay at this cannabis friendly resort? How can it possibly compete with the glamour and glitz of Vegas that now will also legally have lounges for tourist consumption. Now five million may sound like a deal for a whole town, but did they factor in that it might be a horrible place to put this resort? Will there be enough draw to lure people from their cocktails and shows? Furthermore, I don’t see how this won’t be a target for the local police on either side of the state border. It will still be illegal to transport what you bought in Nipton and bring it back to Vegas and vice versa. So, these mega stoners who are visiting Vegas, who are willing to do the drive there, are going to have to either smoke their stash or leave it before heading over to California. Finally, American Green plans to focus on cannabis infused water, possibly the most boring and basic way to medicate. Why take away the fun of smoking, the joy of consumption, with water? Isn’t that the whole point of a cannabis friendly vacation spot, so you can medicate in your room like any other smoker and not worry about the cleaning fee? Who knows, it is in the middle of the desert, maybe it’s perfect. Only time will tell if it will boom or bust. Issue 38 I Page 20

From Farm to Fork: Following The Ingredient Path To Safety
Rachel Zemser, www.cannabisculinologist.com How many ingredients does your edible food product contain and do you know where all those ingredients come from? If you say “Costco” or “The Local Farmers Market” then you do not have total knowledge of your product and may find yourself in a difficult situation if customers get sick and you can’t identify the origins of each ingredient.
that, if the temperature is not where it needs to be, can affect your product in a negative way. The most important temperature controls are your refrigerated storage, frozen storage and any cooking temperatures. The warehouse temperatures are important as well especially if raw materials are being stored long term.
Incoming Ingredient Documentation: All ingredients that arrive at your production facility should be documented. Ideally your ingredients are coming in from an ingredient supplier who can give you best by dates, production lot codes as well as a “certificate of analysis” (COA). Every ingredient should be assigned a lot code number that you, the manufacturer, can refer back to as the The FDA and USDA regulate and oversee the ingredientusedinaparticularbatchoffinishedfood. safety of all non-medicinal food products in the U.S. Unfortunately, the cannabis edible industry Finished Product Code Dates: If your production does not have guidelines on how to keep track runs are small, then a best by date should be enough of your ingredients as they work their way from information to allow trace-back if someone were to the farm to your kitchen. It is up to the food get sick.

Ingredient Supplier Paperwork: Always make sure Allergen Control: Always keep your allergen your ingredient suppliers provide you with all the ingredients in a separate area of your food paperwork you need in case of an emergency. For production space. The common allergens in the example, if you make a batch of cookies and the U.S. include Soy, Wheat, Dairy, Seafood, Shellfish, chocolate chips come from the local chocolate shop, Nuts, Tree-nuts and Egg. Label the allergens make sure they tell you when they manufactured clearly as “Allergens: Nut or Allergens: Soy” those chips. Get a date and their lot codes as well. and attach that label to all the boxes that contain allergen ingredients.

Texas Marijuana Laws on the Horizon for 2018
Tanganyika Daniel
In the latest round of cannabis friendly states to come on board with implementation of legalization we can now include the great state of Texas. The Texas Compassionate Use Act was signed into law over two years ago, but the state is now approaching a September 1st deadline that will essentially force them into issuing licenses for cannabis cultivation and dispensaries. Gov. Greg Abbot signed a bill in 2015 allowing only epilepsy patients who haven’t had success with other federally mandated medication to consume low level THC high CBD cannabis oil. Currently, there are three dispensaries waiting for approval from the Texas Department of Public Safety. They are Compassionate Cultivation, Surterra Texas, and Cansortium Texas, but it will still be months before they are able to service patients or sell any products. Morris Denton, the CEO of Compassionate Cultivation of Austin said, “Once we start growing, it’s going to take about four months before we’re ready to dispense medicine because of the extraction and testing process the plant has to go through after it’s been harvested”. This will serve a very limited community because of the narrowness of the law, and critics have argued that the limits under the law are still too low to service epilepsy patients, or any other patient in need of the plant. Also Texas does not allow any other forms of consumption except high CBD oil, so this again limits patients who could benefit from tinctures, salves, edibles etc. Still supporters of the bill say that this is an incredible step in the right direction for Texas, and a historic shift on their policies concerning cannabis. Texas is one of over thirty states that have some form of cannabis law on the books, and it’s one of 17 that only allow a certain patient group to use low THC high CBD cannabis as a treatment option. We will follow the second largest state in the U.S. as more cannabis news unfolds. Issue No. 38 I Page 24

PRODUCT REVIEWS Delta 9 OG Kush Cartridges Patrick Ian Moore
The Delta Vape 2.0 is probably the most durable and sturdy vape battery I’ve ever used that still had a 5/10 thread. It’s a bit bigger and heavier than the typical pen you’d use with a replaceable cartridge, yet still a sleek and convenient design. The precision ceramic heat control is a nice feature, as is the handy pocket size carrying case and lifetime warranty. To experience the optimum puff, it is suggested that you inhale slowly and steadily for 8 seconds while holding and pressing the ignitor button. It also fully charges in less than 40 minutes without ever having to remove the cartridge. Speaking of cartridges - The
Delta Max 2.0 cartridges go perfectly with that super size battery and look like a heavy hitting piece of science fiction fun when assembled together. These carts pack a whopping 1000 mg of highly potent and totally pure 100% cannabis oil with absolutely no added flavoring or propylene glycol. The taste is very good - smooth and mellow and the puffs produce big clouds and plumes ideal for blowing those all natural smoke rings. I only needed to hit it a few times before I was feeling the effects and smiling wide. There are plenty of other choices too, including Monkey Berry and Strawberry AK. I’m highly recommending this product for fans of vaping who are looking for the next level of personal vaporizer device. They take their name of course from Delta9Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and believe me that there is plenty of it inside. When fully assembled, his product also reminds me of Doctor Who’s sonic screwdriver, so tap into your inner Time Lord and go get your vape on.

Cheesy square crackers are my real life go-to snack when I’m craving something salty and savory. It’s something about the cheesy crunch and salt blend as it melts into your taste buds that get me every single time.

I truly tried to save myself some of the cheesy goodness and after several handfuls knew that the entire bag was a goner. I decided to then test the high, so I sat back and waited for the THC portion to kick in. Again I was surprised because the high was gradual and consistent. I know for sure I was mellow for a strong two hours.
It was so hard for me to believe that this was a

There was no nasty aftertaste in my mouth, and I guarantee if I poured this in a regular bag of cheese crackers you honestly would not know the difference. This is a great way to medicate that can be easily disguised if you need to be discreet. Make sure you grab some or demand that your nearest dispensary get some today.

UNDOO "The Cannabis Safety Net" Capsule, Unhaze the Blaze Keiko Beatie
With the expanding market of products and consumers some of us don’t know our dose of what our body may consume. Plus many edibles are assimilated into the body differently depending on each person’s individual situation. You and your friend may take the same edible, capsule, drink, dab, smoke or anything infused. But what if you aren’t comfortable with how your feeling? You feel you need to abort the effects of THC and sober up. Some of know that CBD is a great remedy for that, but now there is another alternative made especially to bring you back down to balance. Undoo is listed as “Unhaze the Blaze”! It’s stated for the over indulgence, unexpected bad timing and “The Cannabis Safety Net”. This all natural,
no sugar, no stimulant product for the person who feels they need to come down. It’s an all-natural supplement to release the effects of THC within the body. Two soft-gels in a packet and one is suggested to along with water. If within 30 minutes you require most assistance you can take the second soft-gel. I was able to procure some very high percentage of Rosin that a friend made and in testing a new product took it to heart to infiltrate myself with high THC content. I was well hydrated and on an empty stomach by the way. Once I succeeded in infusing myself, I took a capsule and assumed the couch lock position. That was all I wanted to do at that time. Truly within 30 minutes I was feeling clear and ready to rock with clarity and a level head. Very interesting and kudos to the Undoo Company for being there to develop a product that can take care of business for the virgin consumer. Most important to make sure that we be responsible with what we consume. But if you need help make sure you have some Undoo on hand. www.undoo.com
Clark's Cans Keiko Beatie
I receive a Clark’s Cannabis can of White Fire OG…. ohhh the can is well marked with information. Strain, check, weight, check, levels of THC, check and an easy pull tab on the top to open. I was feeling like a sophisticated cannabis connoisseur with this well develop Clark’s Cannabis can. But I come from the days of a “$10, 5 Finger Lid” and
you didn’t know what you were inhaling. When you popped open the can, out came the pungent aroma of a frosty OG and the buds were well preserved and not dried out. I ground up a bud for my famous 2 gram pre roll, hey that’s just the way I roll, In buds and in life! I sat back at my computer desk (I was working) and enjoyed my appreciation for the flower. I know that Clark is a longtime respected former cultivator and he is an appreciator of fine flower. With the inhalation Clark didn’t disappoint me. Yes you can’t see the flower before your purchase it in the can, but you understand that the packaging is so the buds can be well protected and preserved. The quality was excellent and the price was very acceptable. These are available in California at this time and I understand that they are seeking to expand into other states. Clark has other fine products and the website has the list of other desirable products for your consideration. You may visit the website at www. cannabisbuyers.com and find out where to find the array of canned flower from Clark’s Cannabis.

The Easy Butter Maker will make butter, oil and even canna milk in a stainless steel carafe that within 2 hours has you infusing foods. Very easy use is this handy machine, easy to clean and within a short amount of time this gaiety product will have you drizzle butter your popcorn. I have used other infused butter making machines and I love to know of the big brand name of butter/oil maker that have influenced the home chefs make their own butter and oil.
Easy Butter Maker comes in two sizes and the price is very user friendly. The smaller unit is able to make 1 Cup of butter and it even comes with a mold to pour the butter into for a look of a stick of cannabutter. The most impressive fact is that the smaller Easy Butter Maker unit retails at $49.95. That price is a huge difference as comparison to the other butter/oil making appliances.

FEDERAL TEXT HERENEWS
Guns, Ganja and the Right to Bear Arms: An appeals court ruled Cannabis has been linked to "irrational or unpredictable behavior." Patrick Ian Moore
Edibles Magazine Issue 38
Despite the classic stereotypical image in the mainstream media of the peace loving hippie stoner, there are quite a few people who exercise their constitutional right to bear arms within the cannabis community, including patients and professionals. Most people would agree that obtaining both in the safest and most legal of ways is always preferable to whatever the alternative might be, but that’s actually now easier said than done in many places. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has a long history of prohibiting gun and ammunition sales to unlawful users of cannabis. Last year, the federal agency added a warning to the Firearms Transaction Record, Form 4473, making it clear to all those applying for a permit to buy a firearm that cannabis remains illegal under federal law and using it means you are not allowed to purchase a gun, despite laws in a growing number of states that allow both medical and recreational use of cannabis.
30
The language, added in 2016 to Form 4473, raised concerns that the government is unfairly denying cannabis users their Second Amendment right to bear arms and has inspired medical and recreational cannabis advocates and activists to begin lobbying for more changes in federal law to match the country’s ever evolving views on marijuana. The passage of Florida Constitutional Amendment 2 in November 2016 paved the way to widespread use of medical cannabis in the state, but a September federal court ruling bans
users of the cannabis plant from purchasing guns. An appeals court ruled that a federal law prohibiting medical cannabis recommendation holders from purchasing firearms is not in violation their Second Amendment rights, because they believe cannabis has been linked to "irrational or unpredictable behavior." The ruling came in the case of a Nevada woman who attempted to purchase a handgun in 2011, but was denied when the gun store owner recognized her as a medical marijuana patient, according to court documents. S. Rowan Wilson maintained that she didn't actually use cannabis, but obtained the doctor’s rec to make a socio-political statement supporting cannabis legalization laws in the state of Nevada. Federal law prohibits the purchase of firearms by an "unlawful user and/or an addict of any controlled substance." In 2011, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms clarified in a letter that the law applies to all cannabis users "regardless of whether their State of residence has passed legislation authorizing marijuana use for medicinal purposes." Though a growing number of states are legalizing the plant for medical and recreational use, cannabis still technically remains illegal for any purpose under federal law, where the drug is considered to have a high potential for abuse and no accepted medical use.

Marijuana Justice Act of 2017 to Reschedule Cannabis in US
TEXT HERE
Keiko Beatie
Hurray for New Jersey Senator Cory Booker who recently presented the “Marijuana Justice Act of 2017,” a measure that, if passed, would destroy federal cannabis prohibition as we know it. This would completely remove cannabis from the Federal Controlled Substances Act, ending prohibition on the federal level and de-scheduling. This would then allow states to decide their own cannabis policy, free from federal interference or oversight. It would also cut federal funding to states that disproportionately arrest and/ or incarcerate low-income individuals and/or people of color for cannabis offenses, as well as give those who have been convicted of cannabis offenses recourse at the federal level. Booker is quoted as saying “You see what’s happening around this country right now. Eights states and the District of Columbia have moved to legalize marijuana. And these states are seeing decreases in violent crime in their states.” On a Live Facebook session Booker also shared, “They’re seeing increases in revenue to their states. They’re seeing their police forces being able to focus on serious crime. They’re seeing positive things come out of that experience.” All of this is exciting news for us here at Edibles List Magazine as we are slowly moving towards the end of prohibition throughout the country, finally! The federal law of being a “Schedule 1 Drug” has been a contention for years as we are seeing and learning more and more how the community impact and socialization is demanding a change on the status of cannabis laws. So many of our states have held back on moving forward because they didn’t want to be on the feds negative radar for being renegade states. But with each medical and recreational state supporting the legalization, Booker sees that we need to join together as we work to legalize cannabis. With this we need to highlight the medical needs of patients who suffered the most under prohibition and are the same people who should benefit the most under legalization.
On another note, let’s see how long it will be that they are utilizing a slang term for cannabis. It took the State of California to officially change it to cannabis from marijuana almost 20 years since it was listed as a medical substance. As long as we de-schedulize it I’m happy to call it anything you want, US Government!
Edibles Magazine Issue 38
With the press generating a lot of interest and discussion about the nature of prohibition and the effects it has on millions of people across the country, we need to keep the awareness alive. This will assist in more people to look into the issues and maybe even lead some people to be more active in the legalization community in a positive manner. It’s time to rectify a lot of things when it comes to cannabis use in the United States. We hope that this will be the start of Booker’s chance to change the tide of restrictions and soon the Federal issues of cannabis use will be a thing of the past! Thank you Senator Cory Booker, may you know how your efforts are appreciated and that we hope to envision a day where every state in our nation has access to cannabis whether it be for medical or recreational use.

ERMONT DISPENSARY IN BOSTON PRODUCES INFUSED PIZZA & MORE
Tanganyika Daniel
After three years of delays, Ermont dispensary is now adding themselves to the group of distinguished companies entering into the cannabis space in the East Coast market. The company, who was awarded a license in 2013, sat down with Edibles List to discuss some of the trials and triumphs they've experienced since opening their doors less than ten months ago. Currently Ermont is the only vertically integrated dispensary in Mass that has their grow, lab, and kitchen all in the same location. This allows them to not only have access from seed to sale of their product, but they can also stand by the quality since they know the direct source of their starting plant material. Quality cannabis with local seasonal ingredients is the only way at Ermont, and they use their 20+ years
of culinary and business experience to run operations like mainstream restaurant kitchen standards. They clearly understand the objective is to make sure the product is of the highest quality and safe for patient consumption. One of the popular items on the menu is their 125 milligram cannabis infused cheese pizza, but they offer sauces drinks, and other savory items as well. For the flower connoisseur they have Sunset Sherbert as the house favorite, and Black Widow for the patient preferring indica dominant strains. They proudly boast about the great relationship they have with local inspectors who do random mandatory inspections on all facilities that service cannabis. One of the hurdles that they continue to deal with is lack of help during the post harvesting phase. They need more trimmers, and are always looking for qualified personnel to join the team. All in all Ermont wants to be considered a serious medical facility, and they run the business and patient based business accordingly.

4th Annual Chalice Cup Heats Up In Victorville Keiko Beatie
We have so many things to celebrate during the sunny summertime within the cannabis social community. But The Chalice Cup, taking place at the San Bernardino Fairgrounds, brings to the 420 community a competition that is far above any scrutiny as compared to other contests. A blind competition to where each product is given a number and the judges are free to test, consume and render their opinion on the level of hopeful excellence. None of these judges know who number 60 or 45 is, they just know they need to try each product and judge fairly. This occurs once all entries come back with a clean bill of testing from SC Labs.
Edibles Magazine Issue 38
What I learned while at the awards on one of the hottest, blazing days in Victorville, is that all entries are respected as a consumer product. If it isn’t up to the safe standards of regulated testing the entry is disqualified. An embarrassment to the manufacturer's, cultivators and other categories as there were many DQ’s. It was a bit shocking as to hear that of the submitted pre roll category where 10 products of pre rolls were entered and only 2 were deemed clean enough to be tested by the judges! Wow what are they putting in Pre Rolls? King Louie The 13th was the winner and at $150 a package for 6 pre rolls I do admit it was a nice J, but I would have to think about before I indulge $25 per pre roll.
52
The edibles came through with only 1 brand being DQ’d, out of 17 entries. The big winners were Uncle Ronnie’s Beef Jerky was a major award winner of many of the consumer events! Overall Winner was Utopia Farms Vanilla Macaroons from Santa Cruz, Ca. This macaroon is well packaged, tested, dosed and of course very tasty. Utopia Farms has a new item on the menu, a Peanut Butter Macaroon, at 50 mg a cookie, it is so moist and all I wanted was a cold glass of almond milk to go with my Non GMO, Vegan peanut butter yumminess. Speaking with the brand I found them to be very focused on creating edibles that were clean, healthy and most important delicious. Both of these edibles are excellent, be on the lookout for them at your local dispensary. www.utopiafarms.com As for flower, the top of the charts were Jungle Boys and Nameless Genetics. On many categories they both cleaned up with great flower and lots of respect. This desert Chalice Cup was also highlighted by the creative glass artists. Many of the
top names were there to share their latest creations and share the newest glass products. With Dap Bars galore attendees were treated to infusing abundance with top quality shatter, wax and rosin. I met many people that were first timers to a cannabis consumer event. It was a summer festival with the fantastic musical guest, best products, vendors, guests, glass artists and overall a good time for all! Other notable winners were Val’s Organics who in the topical division had multiple awards. With his balms and tinctures of CBD, I was feeling good to meet a heartfelt healer in the midst of dabs and fresh flowers. Mary Jane’s Juice had a carbonated juice drink and I had to stop myself from wanting to guilt this refreshing drink. My skills on micro dosing were put to the test as I turned down a glass of the fruity, bubbly Mary Janes Juice. In the distillate category Gold Drops took home the big prize and Vapes Nameless Genetics, for Best Solvent, Panacera with their X Luxe X Hive blew the hard working judges away. Nameless Genetics was also noted for the 1st Place Vape and 1st Place CBD. Not to be outdone, another brand to be highlighted is The Jungle Boys, who won Best Overall Flower! I had the pleasure of visiting the Jungle Boys tent and I seriously felt like I wasn’t cool or hip enough to be in there. It was the cannabis version of a Green Studio 54, with the beautiful, trendy, ultraexclusive, and oh so suave' people chilling and getting into the great music. But after a while this quiet, conservative, dorky, Asian girl from Orange County felt the positive vibes and the dedication of the Jungle Boys, how committed they are to the cultivation of good medicine. I saw my hero Jose M of Weed For Warriors with friends in the party tent, and I knew it was the place to be. Doug and Bryan, the Chalice Cup coordinators work so hard to bring an amazing event that was enjoyed by close to 30,000 happy guests. With over 350 vendors this is truly one of the largest California Consumer events of the season. The music headliners were Ice Cube and Cypress Hill and they sounded amazing! With great amusement rides, amazing food trucks, educational cannabis groups, and hot people, (really HOT people) the Summer Chalice Cup blazed this year. Congratulations and thank you to The Chalice Cup for one of the best consumer Summer Festivals in California! For more information please www.chalicecalifornia.com

MANUFACTURER HIGHLIGHTS TEXT HERE
Before Slashing Your Edibles Pricing, Make Sure You Know The True Cost Jason Saunders, President: WeedWare.io
Let’s take the example of the insanely profitable manufacturer with a 10% cost of goods sold. How did they calculate this number? They took the cost of ingredients for a single batch of products and divided by the number of products in the batch. They neglected to factor in the freight costs, damaged products, discounting dead stock, or even their labor. Labor is the largest single cost in most manufacturing. By using this misleading number of 10% cost of goods sold they can easily make the mistake of reducing their price below their breakeven point without even knowing it. Now let’s look at the other end of the spectrum, our manufacturer with the 80% cost of goods sold. They went the other direction and included everything in their cost of goods sold. They included the cost of capital, owner’s compensation, travel/entertainment, licensing costs, depreciation, property taxes, etc. Many of these are fixed costs have no bearing on the cost of goods sold. If you increase your sales and production by 50% these costs will still be the same. So why are these smart people making such simple mistakes. Because they do not have a good way to track these costs. This is why a good manufacturing software system is so critical. It is absolutely essential your program can accurately track labor cost,
price of ingredients, lost/damaged products, discounts, and freight costs. Some of you might be thinking that your accounting software does the same thing. Yes and no. In general, your accounting software will track your labor. But it can’t tell you how much time was spent waiting for orders to come in compared to how much was truly spent in production. It can’t tell you the variation in labor for different products. For example, two products may have a very similar cost of ingredients, but one may take 8 minutes in labor to produce a batch, compared to another product that takes 2 hours. The TRUE cost of goods sold for these products is very different. There may even be extreme variations in this labor time based on the employee doing the work. Once you have this valuable information you can use it in many ways including product pricing and cost reduction. You can confidently set a price point that will keep you profitable and be competitive. By looking at the information from your manufacturing system, you will be able to pinpoint high cost products. Then correctly determine the best ways to reduce these costs or focus your marketing efforts on more profitable products. It’s a great time to be in the edibles business, but as competition heats up you need to make sure your management software will help you get to and remain profitable. At WeedWare we are proud to offer a complete manufacturing management program. Includes the tracking of recipe management, inventory control, damaged products, and labor tracking. Check us out at www.weedware.io .

We asked ten different edibles manufacturers what their cost was for their finished products. Some amazing profits could be as high as 90% margins. Others were starting to struggle to compete with up to an 80% cost of goods sold. Were their production processes so different? The quality of ingredients? What we found out was that not one of the 10 truly knew their true costs of goods sold and certainly not by individual product.

Putting Disabilites First Last weekend, I spent a day in San Francisco participating in activism at the Dyke March. I appreciated the speeches which spoke about the inclusiveness of the event. Empowevred women taking up space. Radical in many ways, like no corporate sponsorship, this march was organized differently and a noticeable aspect was that it was led by people with disabilities. There was something poignant about it that touched my heart, and I didn’t immediately know why. These women were not afraid; they were celebrating and showing off what others may see as a negative. They were owning up to who they were and there was no shame. I’ll never forget the first time I heard someone praise medicating as an enhancement which blew my mind. Liberal as I am, I’m still fighting against society's brainwashing.

To participate in the current California non-profit system, you must be a medical patient to be on the premises. So if you’re dealing with staff at your local dispensary they must have a medical reason to be using cannabis. They also should have firsthand experience using marijuana to help their ailments and they understand the difference it can make to quality of life. I realized this deeply changed the entire industry and brought a level of compassion that might have not been there otherwise. We put people with disabilities first too. All of this is changing in 2018 where you can legally employ anyone 21 or older in your cannabis businesses. I hope the current industry and all the patients don’t just fade away, I also hope everyone with medical reasons to consume cannabis continue to take up space and be integrated as part of the legal market workforce. Doing business right, being inclusive, and having a diverse staff, is critical to keeping our industry special and different. Let’s hold onto the culture of compassion and caring for the most marginalized who are in need of love and support from our communities. Let’s not lose the soul of the current community and keep celebrating what was once kept hidden. Speak up and keep taking up space and be part of the future...

Long Awaited Hawaii Cannabis Dispensaries Open The Door For Sales Tanganyika Daniel
There was a second day of celebration in Hawaii as not one, but two dispensaries were given the ‘GREEN’ Light to begin medical sales this week. The Hawaii Department of Health issued a formal letter to Aloha Green in Honolulu stating that they now had permission to dispense dried flower to their patients, and that they are officially open for business. Aloha Greens approval letter came after Grown Therapies in Maui received their letter, so now starts the waiting game to see which company is next. Currently Hawaii has approved eight dispensaries total, but all of them are at different levels and stages of development. Aloha Green has a major advantage having prime location in O’ahu, which services 5000 of the 17000 total qualified patients. This means that not only could they potentially see more revenue, but they also set the standard for treatment and experience of patients in that area. Patients would be allowed to purchase no more than four ounces in 15 consecutive days, or eight ounces in a 30 consecutive day timeframe. They would have to transport that cannabis straight home since it is illegal to consume cannabis publicly anywhere on the island. What’s even more interesting is that once the cannabis is home they have to put it into a sealed container, and out of the view of public there as well. The state cannabis rules are based on Hawai’i Revised Statutes Chapter 329D and the Hawai’i Administrative Rules Chapter 11-850, and one of those requirements for the application process included no one under the age of 21 could apply. Other rules insist no felonies, 5-year mandatory residency requirements, and no less than 51% of the owners had to be Hawaiian. Oh, and did I mention you had to have at least $1,000,000 for each license you applied for with bank statements or escrow accounts attached for proof. Once you are approved, however, you can legally own two dispensaries per license, which would double patient access and revenue Hawaii is filled with rich culture, amazing beaches, and robust tourism so it will be interesting to see what effect, if any, cannabis will have in these areas on the island. Our beloved CEO of Edibles List is from Hawaii so this is a personal story to our editorial family; so stay tuned as we watch the developments closely to keep you informed.

KIND B. Le Grand
The citizen-sponsored initiative prohibits growing cannabis in residential zones, authorizes and regulates medical marijuana dispensaries, and limits commercial cultivation sites to industrial and manufacturing zones with a permit issued by the city. Opponents said the measure doesn’t do enough to protect the community, while the supporters said Measure U will provide oversight and transparency. La Mesa rejected a similar ballot measure in 2012, and banned the cultivation and manufacturing of medical marijuana, and the operation of dispensaries.
