LAZY MAE’S EDIBLES

LOW DOSE LOW COST

KYMBER WARD STAFF EDITOR Amidst our journey to find the greatest edibles the world has to offer, we came across Lazy Mae’s Edibles. Based in Los Angeles, California. The Head Chef & Co-Founder - Heather and Co-Founder - George were nice enough to sit down with the Edibles List team to shed some light on their company. Edibles List: What was the inspiration behind starting your company? Heather: That answer is different for all of us. I am extremely passionate about the marijuana industry and I have always wanted to bake. Unfortunately, I have had a lot of experience with cancer in my life and I am really excited about CBD and the benefits it can provide cancer patients. Plus being my own boss is a great thing! George: I am an entrepreneur by trade. This is the 5th of 7th businesses I have opened. Most of them are in the entertainment world; however, I have always been interested in this industry. Heather was the way that I could get into cannabis. I knew I couldn’t do it without someone who knows what they are doing in a kitchen. EL: How old were you when you began using cannabis? H: I started smoking later than most teenagers; my first time was when I was 17. I have undiagnosed ADD/ADHD and when I started smoking I became a completely different person. I was finally able to focus and do well in school. Cannabis changed my life! G: I started much younger than Heather, I was 11. I was a very angry kid and always getting into fights. When I started smoking it changed my life completely. It helped me deal with my emotions. You wouldn’t even recognize me if you met me back then. EL: What is your specific product line? H: We currently focus on sweets, highend edibles, not just cookies and cakes. There is more effort behind our edibles. We make sure we use the highest quality products. G: The One Hitter line was specifically developed to follow the trends in the marketplace. The climate of the industry in Colorado really helped us craft our

product line. For example, we focus on low dose edibles as we know that Colorado calls for 10mg dosing. H: Additionally, we created the Hazer line which are low-dose 20 mg cookies that only cost $1 at retail. A Stage IV cancer patient who felt so great off of 20mgs, and didn’t need anymore, inspired this line. We want to help people who want to get medicated at an affordable price. We’re opening the door for the inexperienced and older clientele. It’s so necessary to have the dose options. EL: What is your baking background? H: I have been baking forever! I started when I was little. In fact, my family has pictures of me, in front of the oven, at three years old. In high school, I knew I was going to bake and didn’t even take my SATs because I knew I was going to Culinary School. I ended up going to the Culinary Academy of Long Island. It was a great experience, but if you are interested in the culinary arts I encourage you to just go out and find a restaurant and learn there. I began working in a Vegan bakery and then German-Italian bakery. While in school, I learned French methods. At the Vegan bakery, I learned how to handle a high volume kitchen; and at the German bakery I learned techniques practiced in Long Island for decades.

EL: Why choose this specific product line versus other products i.e. hard candies, savory, gummies, etc.? H: Honestly, I’m not big on the candy thing. Given the right molds anyone can do it. I am a pastry chef, I want to be able to showcase my love of food. As far as savory goes, it’s not of the question. EL: What is your infusion process? H: We run kief through the Magic Butter system. It’s super useful and I can make our oil quickly. Working with kief is great because you can smell marijuana in the product, but you can’t really taste it. It’s not just about the cannabis; there are other flavors too. It’s actually a really odd sensation - smelling it but not tasting it! EL: Where do you hope to see the cannabis industry in 5 years? H: I would love to see it recreationally legal nationwide, but first and foremost, I’d like California to go legal. My hope is that we can start some sort of catering businesse or brick & mortar options.

G: I want to see the Amsterdam coffee shop come to the US. I really envision a Green House Centrum or Pink Floyd Coffee Shop that anyone can go to and enjoy cannabis. Some place with high quality herbs and a great atmosphere. EL: What can we expect to see from your company in the future? G: We have some great things coming up! We are currently working on CBD sodas, carbonated and non-carbonated flavored waters, vape pens and oil. Also, we have just partnered up with Green Cloud Logistics. They are helping us to expand into NorCal and hit more SoCal areas. H: A full CBD line as well as Vegan and gluten-free options. Really, I just hope the edibles market grows, so that I can elevate. I feel like I have to hold myself back because people aren’t yet looking for the fancier pastries. I can’t wait to create products with more va-va-voom! EL: What are your thoughts on CBD? G: We are currently teaming up with Honey Farm Vapes to use their whole plant CBD Co2 oil to create our sodas. We are set to launch those soon so keep an eye out! EL: What do you feel sets your company apart from the competition? G: Branding. We are always getting compliments on it. We wanted a clearcut mascot that has staying power. It’s remiss that everyone in this industry are not looking at the Nabisco’s of the world and learning that their brand image is instrumental in withstanding our industry. We are also vertically integrated, so we control our products from seed to sale. We grow high quality meds to use in our edibles and by handling everything from the beginning, we can make sure we offer nothing but the best products. The best thing about Lazy Mae’s is that the people behind the company are truly passionate about what they do. The company began with a group a friends wanting to do something new. As the cannabis industry matures we will continue our quest to find the best companies out there and showcase those in the industry doing things the right way. Congratulations on your success in the industry thus far, and we look forward to seeing what your future holds. Lazy Mae’s Edibles is officially Edibles List Approved! 9

BEVERLY HILLS art SHOW 9455 N Santa Monica Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 October 17–18 from 10 AM to 5 PM - Free beverlyhills.org/artshow BOOTH 402 ARTIST: RICHARD BELL

KYMBER WARD STAFF EDITOR Are you one of those people that enjoys edibles, but does not want to be rendered useless after consumption? Well, if you are like me the answer is simple: “Ain’t nobody got time for that!” Their One Hitter line boasts a sweet myriad of low-dose and extremely lowcost medibles – with really fun names! I mean, after a long day who wouldn’t want to try a Chill Pill or Slamcake? I know I did. After a very long day consumed by cannabis, I decided to consume some cannabis – see what I did there? Allow me to explain their creative and cost-effective products: Hazers: Freshly baked mini snickerdoodle, lemon & chocolate chip cookies. These mini cookies contain 20mg THC and the retail price is only $1. That’s right, ONE dollar! Peanut Budders: Chocolate-peanut butter cookies stuffed with a peanut butter filling. They weigh in at 50mg THC each priced at $2. They are incredibly delicious and melt in your mouth! Those who love peanut butter will surely go crazy over these. Chill Pills: Buttery cookie sandwich with a layer of either caramel or chocolate in the middle, all dipped in chocolate. Priced at only $3 for a 50mg cookie is not a hard sell. I want to say these are my favorite, but I don’t honestly think that I could narrow it down to one favorit item. However, fair warning, much like a Milano cookie these decadent little creations are hard to put down. Chill Pills deserve their own tagline perhaps: once you chill, you just can’t stop – thanks for the help on coming up with that one Pringles! Slamcakes: Stuffed cupcakes available two ways - chocolate cake with a vanilla buttercream filling or the Elvis cake, which is a chocolate-banana cake with 10

a peanut butter filling. I have to admit I hate bananas (like despise them), but the Elvis Slamcake is really effing good. The cake was moist and extremely soft. The peanut butter filling simply melted in my mouth. The flavors complimented each other so well that I didn’t even notice the banana. Well played Lazy Mae’s, well played. Also, did I mention they contain 50mg THC and will only set you back three bucks?

Salted Caramel Chocolate Bombs: Tart shell covered in chocolate with a caramel center. These are the most potent of their edibles at 100mg THC with a retail cost of $4. As someone who sees various infused products all the time, I have to tell you I have not seen a product like this. This is a simple yet, elegant product that you just don’t often see a lot of in the current MJ marketplace. I would expect to see this in the case at my local bakery, not a dispensary. It is nice to see that some companies are taking the initiative to integrate high-

end edibles into their product lines. As our industry grows, the consumer will become more elevated and demand a higher caliber product. Thank you Lazy Mae’s for catering to foodies like me! Smorezzz: Homemade graham crackers with a marshmallow filling covered in chocolate. This treat that will take you right back to camping in the summer contains 50mg and costs $4. So, I don’t think this needs further explanation… Just go get one. We both know you want to! Nuggets: Little butter cookies with only 25mg and cost $3.50. These aren’t the most potent option, but they are perfect for someone who has a lower tolerance. Although, if you have a high tolerance for cannabis you could always eat a couple throughout the day for daytime medicating. Now, I would like to clarify that all prices are retail, not wholesale. This means, this is the price YOU pay! So, let’s break this down: You can get an edible containing between 20mg-100mg THC for only $1-$4!!!!! Your next question should be: where do I sign up? Lazy Mae’s One Hitter line is great for people who don’t want to get annihilated, but medicated. They offer an assortment of well-made, elegant products that everyone should try!

JOLLY MEDS RICHARD BELL STAFF EDITOR

Jolly Meds, is a San Francisco based company founded in 2005. The owner saw a need to create an alternative to traditional anti-depressants and treatments for a wide range of neurological disorders and diseases and so, Jolly Meds was born. Early on the folks at Jolly Meds realized the need for sativa dominant and thire lozenges have only gained more and more popularity over the past 10 years. Jolly Meds specializes in strain specific hard candy lozenges, lollipops and honey based edibles. Their product line includes CBD, Sativa and Indica JOLLY-LOLLYS, SLO-POPS (lollipops), QU-OOBS, CBD-OOS, CANNI-SOOTHES (hard candy lozenges), GOOD-EEZ (sugar-free lozenges), and CANNADOO (raw organic honey based products). Their wide-range of products are effective, great tasting and easy to use! I opted to try the CBD CANNA-DOO to sweeten my green tea. I used the recommended dosage of 1 teaspoon equivalent of 30mg, as per packaging. At first, there was a brief moment of a euphoric feeling for me. About a half hour later, the CBD seemed to be in full effect. I was able to complete my work without feeling any negative effects. Shortly, after consumption I had to meet a client. It was a relief knowing that I could go without the fear of people noticing that I was medicated. Due to my injury, I am very sensitive to changes in the weather. I experience hypersensitivity in my nerves, which becomes painful and uncomfortable. I also get a lot of specificity. Quadriplegics generally seem to suffer from a lot of nervous energy. At times, we may experience symptoms similar to anxiety attacks. THC definitely helps, but in my experience, CBD is much better at alleviating a the nervous pain and anxiety. I also tried the ginger flavored QU-OOBS with 60mg THC / 6 MG CBD. I would nevert have thought to do a ginger candy, but it was a pleasant surprise. Due to the ginger flavoring, it is a bit spicy tasting and the cannabis is prevalent. However, as stated on the packaging, it is a ”Medicated Cannabis Lozenge… Not A Food Item”. Initially, I did not know what to expect from the packaging. But to my surprise, there were four doses inside. I really like the lozenges because I can take one when I am in pain, but don’t want to feel too high. These are a perfect solution for those who just need to ‘take the edge off’. If you’re dealing with issues like chronic neurogenic pain, and spasticity, this is a terrific product to have in your arsenal. If you are like me, being high all of the time is not ideal. It is nice to know that companies like Jolly Meds, take great effort in providing you with the relief you need while allowing you to still function. 14

DEXANABINOL FIGHTS BRAIN CANCER This drug is still in the experimental testing stage. It is manufactured by Solvay Pharmaceuticals who was acquired by Abbott Laboratories in 2010. It is a synthetic “unnatural” enantiomer of the potent cannabinoid agonist HU-210. Unlike other cannabinoid derivatives, HU211 does not act as a cannabinoid receptor agonist;therefore it has no psychotropic cannabinoid effects. It will not produce the “high” that most cannabinoids produce. Instead it has more NMDA antagonist effects. It is not scheduled on the Federal level and only the state of Floirda has it on the books as an illegal subtance. It is currently not approved for use as of 2015. It is still in clinical trials primarily being tested and studied for use as an anticonvulsant and neuroprotective.

CANNABINOR This is a synthetic chemical that binds to the brain’s CB2 receptors. It is manufactured by Pharmos and is being studied as an analgesic for pain relief, especially for neuropathic pain.

HU 308 This innovative drug is licensed by Pharmos and it is another synthetic cannabinoid.

It is highly selective for the CB2 receptor subtype. In fact, it has a selectivity of over 5000x for CB2 vs CB1. Synthesised at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in the late 1990s. It has analgesic effects, promotes proliferation of neural stem cells, and protects both liver and blood vessel tissues against oxidative stress via inhibition of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF-?). It is not approved for use and is still in clinical trials. It is not scheduled on the Federal level in the US and only the state of Florida has it on the books as an illegal substance.

COVER STORY:

2016

JOE BIDEN (D)

As a senator, Biden took a hard line against marijuana. He spearheaded legislation that created the federal “drug czar” position and mandatory minimum sentencing for marijuanarelated offenses.

GRADE: D

As vice president, Biden has continued to oppose the legalization of marijuana, but he has spoken in favor of reducing enforcement of federal marijuana policies.

“I think the idea of focusing significant resources on interdicting or convicting people for smoking marijuana is a waste of our resources. That’s different than [legalization]. Our policy for our Administration is still not legalization, and that is [and] continues to be our policy.” … “I am not only the guy who did the crime bill and the drug czar, but I’m also the guy who spent years when I was chairman of the Judiciary Committee and chairman of [the Senate Foreign Relations Committee], trying to change drug policy relative to cocaine, for example, crack and powder.” TIME, February 6, 2014 “I still believe it’s a gateway drug. I’ve spent a lot of my life as chairman of the Judiciary Committee dealing with this. I think it would be a mistake to legalize.” ABC News,

CHRIS CHRISTIE (R) Gov. Christie opposes the legalization of marijuana and has spoken out repeatedly against states that have legalized marijuana for adults.

GRADE: F

He opposed New Jersey’s medical marijuana law, which was signed by his predecessor, and he has imposed strict restrictions on the program that have hampered its effectiveness.

THE PRESIDENTIAL With the Presidential race in full swing, we wanted to share with you where each candidate stands on the topic of cannabis. We have given each candidate a rating from ‘A+’ to ‘F-’. “A’ being completely in favor of legalizing cannabis, and F being in support of allowing the Federal government to decide.

LINDSEY GRAHAM (R) Sen. Graham supports legal access to medical marijuana, but he is opposed to legalizing marijuana for adult use. He has not taken a strong position on states’ rights to establish their own marijuana policies. He voted against legislation intended to prevent the Justice Department from interfering in state medical marijuana laws, but he attempted (unsuccessfully) to switch his vote afterward. When asked whether he supports letting states decide or keeping marijuana illegal federally: “I don’t see a real need to change the law up here [in DC]. If marijuana is half as bad as alcohol, that’s probably enough reason to keep it illegal.” Just Say Now, August 10, 2010

GRADE: C -

BEN CARSON (R) Dr. Carson has expressed some support for allowing the use of medical marijuana, but he has been highly critical of legalizing and regulating marijuana for adult use, citing the thoroughly debunked “gateway drug” theory.

When asked if he would enforce federal marijuana laws in states that have legalized and regulated marijuana: “Absolutely, I will crack down and not permit it.” … “States should not be permitted to sell it and profit [from legalizing marijuana].” The Huffington Post, April 14, 2015 “If you’re getting high in Colorado today, enjoy it. As of January 2017, I will enforce the federal laws. That’s lawlessness. If you want to change the marijuana laws, go ahead and change the national marijuana laws.” Bloomberg, July 28, 2015

GRADE: D

“I think medical use of marijuana in compassionate cases certainly has been proven to be useful. But recognize that marijuana is what’s known as a gateway drug.

It tends to be a starter drug for people who move onto heavier duty drugs – sometimes legal, sometimes illegal – and I don’t think this is something that we really want for our society. You know, we’re gradually just removing all the barriers to hedonistic activity and you know, it’s just, we’re changing so rapidly to a different type of society and nobody is getting a chance to discuss it because, you know, it’s taboo. It’s politically incorrect. You’re not supposed to talk about these things.” Fox News Channel, January 2, 2014

HILLARY CLINTON (D) Clinton has expressed a willingness to support more research into the potential medical benefits of marijuana.

Fiorina does not support the legalization of marijuana for any purpose, including medical use. She recently expressed support for decriminalization. She has expressed support for the rights of voters to establish their own state marijuana policies.

GRADE: C+

“I remember when I had cancer and my doctor said, ‘Do you have any interest in medicinal marijuana?’

I did not. And they said, good, because marijuana today is such a complex compound, we don’t really know what’s in it, we don’t really know how it interacts with other substances or other medicines.” Slate, February 2015 “I’m opposed to Prop 19 and the legalization of marijuana. Sending billions of dollars in new tax revenues to Sacramento is exactly the problem … because Sacramento has a spending problem and will continue to spend the money we send them.” 10 Questions, October 2010 “Drug addiction shouldn’t be criminalized. We need to treatitappropriately.”TheWashingtonPost,May4,2015 “I don’t support legalized marijuana for a whole host of reasons, including the fact that this is a very complex chemical substance, and when we tell young people it is just like drinking a beer, we are not telling them the truth. But I think Colorado voters made a choice. I don’t support their choice, but I do support their right to make that choice.” The Hill, June 9, 2015

MIKE HUCKABEE (R) Former Gov. Huckabee is opposed the legalization of marijuana for any purpose, including medical use.

“I’m against legalizing marijuana for recreational purposes. But when it comes to medical marijuana and this [CBD] oil, I think politicians should embrace what makes sense. When it comes to issues like this, I don’t want to be academic in thought. This is about people. This is about families with sick children. Why should someone in my position get in the way of helping a child, if you can reasonably and logically do it?” WBTV, February 24, 2014

“[Marijuana legalization]’s not gonna come while I’m here … See if you want to live in a major city in Colorado where there’s head shops popping up on every corner and people flying into your airport just to come and get high. To me, it’s just not the quality of life we want to have here in the state of New Jersey and there’s no tax revenue that’s worth that.” International Business Times, July 25, 2014 In response to the question,“If you were president, how would you treat states that have legalized marijuana?”: “Probably not well. Not well, but we’ll see. We’ll have to see what happens.” The Huffington Post, June 20, 2014

CARLY FIORINA (R)

CANDIDATES VIEWS ON CANNABIS

GRADE: D

“You know, I don’t support the idea of legalizing marijuana, so I want to be honest about that. I don’t think that there are as many wonderful things to come from it as there are some dangers to come from it. You know, if they’re targeting people [who use marijuana for medical

purposes], I don’t know if that makes good sense. But I wouldn’t go and say, ‘You shouldn’t follow the law.’” He is then asked whether he would stop the federal government’s raids on medical marijuana dispensaries, to which he responds:“Probably not.” C-SPAN, January 2008 “I think the question is would I favor the legalization [of medical marijuana] at a federal level. And until there’s some stronger scientific evidence I’m unlikely to do that. I don’t support the idea of legalizing marijuana.” NH Marijuana Policy Initiative, October 2007 “Those who argued that legalizing marijuana would result in a boom in tax revenues have some preliminary proof. … But at what cost? The money is earmarked for youth prevention services, substance abuse treatment and public health. But what is a young person supposed to think when the state says, ‘Don’t do drugs…even though everyone around you is…and the same authority figures who tell you it’s bad not only condone it, but are also making a big profit off it’?” Facebook post, March 13, 2014

GRADE: B -

When asked about the legalization laws approved in Colorado and Washington, she said “states are the laboratories of democracy” and that she wants to see what happens in those states prior to taking a position in support or opposition to such laws.

“Honestly, I don’t think we’ve done enough research yet to say what the effects are and what they could be on different people with different physical or psychological issues, different ages — yes, medical first and foremost, we ought to be doing more to make sure that we know how marijuana would interact with other prescription drugs and the like. But we also have to know how even medical marijuana impacts our kids and our communities. …

Sen. Paul has consistently supported states’ rights to establish their own marijuana policies, and he has been a vocal supporter of decriminalizing or reducing criminal penalties for those arrested for marijuana possession.

www.MPP.org

BERNIE SANDERS (D) Sen. Sanders supports the legalization of medical marijuana, and he has been critical of the war on drugs, particularly with regard to how it has been enforced.

GRADE: B

He has stated he has concerns about regulating marijuana for adult use, which stem from his concerns about other illegal drugs.

“I have real concerns about implications of the war on drugs. “But the states are the laboratories of democracy, and We have been engaged in it for decades now with a huge we’re seeing states pass laws that enable their citizens to cost and the destruction of a whole lot of lives of people who have access to medical marijuana under certain conditions, were never involved in any violent activities.” … so we have the opportunity to try to study those. And then “I’m going to look at the issue. It’s not that I support it or don’t www.DayDreamersChocolates.com Colorado and Washington have proceeded to permit support it. To me it is not one of the major issues facing this recreational use.Facebook.com/ And at the same time, we’re seeing the DayDreamersChocolates country. I’ll look at it.

LINCOLN CHAFEE (D)

DONALD TRUMP (R)

GRADE: B+

GRADE: C

RAND PAUL (R)

GRADE: A -

He is a sponsor of the CARERS Act, a bipartisan bill that would allow states to set their own policies regarding the legalization of medical marijuana without

interference from the federal government. He is also the cosponsor of a bill that would allow marijuana-related businesses to access the banking system. In addition, Sen. Paul has been vocal on decriminalization or reducing criminal penalties for those arrested for the use of marijuana. “I’m not for having the federal government get involved. I really haven’t taken a stand on … the actual legalization. I haven’t really taken a stand on that, but I’m against the federal government telling them they can’t.” Roll Call, November 4, 2014 “If your kid was caught selling marijuana or growing enough that it’s a felony conviction, they could be in jail for an extended period of time, they also lose their ability to be employable. So I want to change all of that. I want to lessen the criminal penalties on it.” WHAS 11, December 8, 2014

MARCO RUBIO (R) Sen. Rubio has expressed some support for allowing the use of nonpsychoactive forms of medical marijuana, but he is staunchly opposed to the legalization of marijuana for adult use.

GRADE: D

He has equivocated in his support for letting states establish their own marijuana. In April 2015, he said he believes federal prohibition laws should be enforced in states that have repealed state prohibition laws.

“If there are medicinal uses of marijuana that don’t have the elements that are mind-altering or create the high but do alleviate whatever condition it may be they are trying to alleviate, that is something I would be open to.” Tampa Bay Times, July 30, 2014 “Marijuana is illegal under federal law. That should be enforced.” ABC News, May 15, 2014 “The bottom line is, I believe that adding yet another mind-altering substance to something that’s legal is not good for the country, I understand there are people that have different views on it, but I feel strongly about that.” Yahoo! News, May 19, 2014 Rubio presidential campaign spokesperson Alex Conant: “Senator Rubio believes legalization of marijuana for recreational use is a bad idea, and that the states that are doing it may well come to regret it. Of course, states can make decisions about what laws they wish to apply within their own borders.” Politico, January 31, 2015 “I’magainstthelegalizationofmarijuana.”C-SPAN,February27,2015 When asked if he would enforce federal law and shut down regulation in Colorado: “Yes. Yes, I think, well, I think we need to enforce our federal laws. Now do states have a right to do what they want? They don’t agree with it, but they have their rights. But they don’t have a right to write federal policy as well. It is, I don’t believe we should be in the business of legalizing additional intoxicants in this country for the primary reason that when you legalize something, what you’re sending a message to young people is it can’t be that bad, because if it was that bad, it wouldn’t be legal.” Hugh Hewitt Radio Show, April 14, 2015 “I’ve said that I’m open to medical uses of marijuana … if in fact it goes through the FDA process … I’m not in favor of legalizing marijuana. I’m not, and never have been.” When asked if he would enforce federal law in states where it’s legal: “Absolutely. I believe that the federal government needs to enforce federal law.” Meet the Press, August 9, 2015

RICK SANTORUM (R)

GRADE: F

Former Sen. Santorum is opposed to the legalization of marijuana for any purpose, including medical use. He does not believe states have the right to set their own marijuana policies and supports enforcing federal prohibition laws in states that have rejected them. “I think Colorado is violating the federal law. And if we have controlled substances, they’re controlled substances for a reason. The federal law is there for a reason, and the states shouldn’t have the option to violate federal law. As Abraham Lincoln said, you know, states don’t have the right to wrong.” HughHewitt.com, April 16, 2015 “The federal government does have a role in making sure that drug use- that states don’t go out and legalize drugs. That there are drugs that are hazardous to people, that do cause great harm to the individual as well as society to the whole. And the federal government has a role in making sure those drugs are not in this country and not available and that people who use them illegally are held accountable. Ideally states should enforce these laws but the federal government has a role because it is a public health issue for the country.” Santorum campaign event, January 9, 2012

MARTIN O’MALLEY (D)

GRADE: C -

As governor of Maryland, O’Malley repeatedly spoke out against the use of marijuana for any purpose, including medical marijuana. Despitehispersonalopposition,hesignedbillsintolawin2014 thatdecriminalizedpossessionofsmall amounts of marijuana and established a workable medical marijuana program.

Recently, O’Malley said that, as president, he would support efforts to reclassify marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule II, alongside cocaine and methamphetamine. “As a young prosecutor, I once thought that decriminalizing the possession of marijuana might undermine the public will necessary to combat drug violence and improve public safety. I now think that [it] is an acknowledgment of the low priority that our courts, our prosecutors, our police and the vast majority of citizens already attach to this transgression of public order and public health.” The Washington Post, April 7, 2014 “I’m not much in favor of it. We’ve seen what drug addiction has done to the people of our state, to the people of our city. This drug, its use and its abuse can be a gateway.” Mark Steiner Radio Show, January 7, 2014

GEORGE PATAKI (R)

GRADE: C

Former Gov. Pataki is not in favor of legalizing marijuana for any purpose, including medical use. He has said that he supports states’ rights to set their own marijuana policies without interference from the federal government. “I am not in favor of legalizing marijuana, but having said that I am a great believer that states are the laboratory of democracy.” Bloomberg, January 14, 2014 “So I would be very strongly inclined to change the federal law to give states, when they’ve had a referenda, the opportunity with respect to marijuana to decriminalize it, except for two factors. One is we have to know that neighboring states or the rest of the country are not being subjected to illegal marijuana because of the free selling of it and marketing in those states, and second with respect to young people.” HughHewitt.com, April 23, 2015

JIM GILMORE (R)

GRADE: D

Former Gov. Gilmore opposes the legalization of marijuana for any purpose. In 2000, he signed onto a National Governors Association policy plank that urged the federal government to increase funding for the War on Drugs and declared legalization is “not a viable alternative, either as a philosophy or as a practical reality.” “I’m not a legalization guy. I think that it’s not a substance, it’s a lifestyle, and a quality of life and approach that I’m afraid I can’t adhere to. I understand that some people are able to use marijuana in a recreational way and it probably doesn’t hurt society, but at the end of the day, I don’t believe we ought to be legalizing and putting the legitimacy of the state on to substance abuse. I just don’t believe it.” WMUR, June 19, 2015

JEB BUSH (R)

GRADE: D

Former Gov. Bush has a long history of supporting the war on drugs and opposing the legalization of marijuana for any purpose. He and his wife, Columba, are on the advisory board of the Drug Free America Foundation, a radical antimarijuana organization with a history of opposing efforts to legalize marijuana for any purpose. At the 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference, he said he supports states’ rights to establish their own marijuana policies and that the federal government should not interfere in their decisions. “I thought [legalizing marijuana in Colorado] was a bad idea, but states ought to have that right to 22do it. I would have voted ‘no’ if I was in Colorado.” C-SPAN, February 27, 2015

TED CRUZ (R)

GRADE: C+

At the 2015 Conservative Political Action Conference, Sen. Cruz said he is opposed to the legalization of marijuana for adult use, but he believes states should have the right to establish their own marijuana policies. Previously, the senator had criticized the Obama administration for not enforcing federal marijuana laws in Colorado and Washington after voters in those states adopted laws that regulate and tax marijuana similarly to alcohol. “I actually think this is a great embodiment of what Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis called the laboratories of democracy. If the citizens of Colorado decide they want to go down that road, that’s their prerogative. I don’t agree with it, but that’s their right.” Conservative Political Action Conference, February 26, 2015 “I don’t support drug legalization, but I do support the Constitution. I think individual states can choose to adopt it. So if Texas had it on the ballot, I’d vote against it, but I respect the authority of states to follow different policies.” Texas Tribune, March 24, 2015 “That’s a legitimate question for the states to make a determination. And the citizens of Colorado and Washington State have come to a different conclusion. They’ve decided that they want to legalize it. I think it is appropriate for the federal government to recognize that the citizens of those states have made that decision. One of the benefits of it … is we can now watch and see what happens in Colorado and Washington State.” Hugh Hewitt Show, April 16, 2015

JOHN KASICH (R)

GRADE: C -

JIM WEBB (D)

GRADE: B+

BOBBY JINDAL (R)

GRADE: C -

Gov. Kasich is “totally opposed” to marijuana legalization, including the use of marijuana for medical purposes. He believes states should “probably” have the right to establish their own marijuana policies and would not challenge state laws regulating marijuana for medical or adult use. When asked about states that have adopted laws making marijuana legal for adults: “The people in those states have voted that way. The federal government has decided to kind of look the other way. I feel very strongly in my state, I’m going to oppose, and they’re going to put something on the ballot to legalize drugs. I’m totally opposed to it, because it is a scourge in this country. Now I would have to give it thought as to, I probably would not from the standpoint that the states have gone forward to prove that. I haven’t thought about this. I’d have to give it a little thought. … In my state and across this country, if I happened to be president, I would lead a significant campaign down at the grassroots level to stomp these drugs out of our country.” HughHewitt.com, April 21, 2015 “[The] answer is, no, I am not in favor of [medical marijuana].” WLWT, March 19, 2014 “On medical marijuana, doctors that I know tell me we don’t need that, there are other ways to [treat pain].” OhioCapitalBlog, March 30, 2012

Former Sen. Webb introduced legislation to overhaul the criminal justice system, and he has been an outspoken opponent of the war on drugs. He has expressed support for the decriminalization of marijuana. “The time has come to stop locking up people for mere possession and use of marijuana. It makes far more sense to take the money that would be saved by such a policy and use it for enforcement [against] gang-related activities.” Webb’s book, A Time To Fight, May 2008 In response to a question about whether marijuana legalization would be part of his criminal justice reform efforts: “I think everything should be on the table, a nd we specifically say that we want recommendations on how to deal with drug policy in our country. And we’ll get it to the people who have the credibility and the expertise and see what they come up with. [Asked specifically about regulating marijuana:] I think they should do a very careful examination of all aspects of drug policy. I’ve done a couple of very extensive hearings on this, so we’ll wait to see what they say about that.” Huffington Post, April 27, 2009 The Washington Post: “He also shied away from supporting or opposing marijuana legalization, calling state laws ‘an interesting national experiment’ that should be allowed to play out further.” The Washington Post, March 10, 2015

Gov. Jindal has expressed support for limited medical marijuana programs, but he opposes the legalization of marijuana for adult use and does not support states’ rights to establish their own marijuana policies. As a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, he voted against a measure intended to prevent the Justice Department from interfering in state medical marijuana laws in 2005, 2006, and 2007. “I don’t think anyone should be legalizing marijuana, I think that’s a mistake. When it comes to the issue of medical marijuana, I’ve said as long as it’s done under tight restrictions, I can be okay with that.” ABC News, February 26, 2015 When asked if he would “bring down the hammer” on pot stores in states with legalization laws: “I don’t think you can ignore federal law. Federal Law is still the law of the land. It still needs to be enforced.” The Washington Times, April 1, 2015

CANNABIS MEDICAL STUDIES

RESEARCH SURVEY OF 2480 PATIENTS DR. TOD MIKURIYA STAFF EXPERT California’s Proposition 215 allows medical marijuana to be used for ANY serious condition for which marijuana provides relief. Cannabis has a remarkably wide spectrum of medical uses, ranging from chronic pain, muscle spasticity, nausea and appetite loss to psychiatric conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression. Following is a survey of conditions reported by medical cannabis specailist Dr. Tod Mikuriya. Altogether, Dr. Mikuriya has recorded over 250 indications for medical cannabis, as classified by the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9). Following is a compilation of diseases reported by 2,480 of Dr. Mikuriya’s 9,000 patients, according to the primary indication for which the patients were diagnosed. In practice, many patients report more than one indication. One of the most important uses of cannabis is as a substitute for other, more dangerous or costly pharmaceutical drugs. Many patients report substantial reductions in use of narcotics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories, anti-depressants, tranquilizers, sleeping pills and other drugs. This usage is not reported below, because it does not count as a “primary indication.” Because of government restrictions on research, very few of marijuana’s medical indications have been clinically studied. For a survey of recent medical marijuana research, see www.cannabis-med. org,(International Assoc. for Cannabis Medicine) “Recent Research on Medical Marijuana,” (NORML, 2006), and “Human Studies on Medical Use of Marijuana” (Cal NORML, 1996).

KYMBER WARD STAFF EDITOR So, Edibles List Readers: I have had an epiphany – My job does not suck. The best aspect of my job is constantly being asked to test various infused products; everything from edibles to topicals to tinctures to infused empanadas. Yes readers, I said it – infused empanadas. These sinfully divine indulgences are the product of Goodies by Magooch.

a testament to how much I love the product – I only have this olive oil in my pantry and pretty much refuse to get any other kind, even unmedicated.

Now, without further adieu, I give you Goodies by Magooch Infused Chicken Empanadas. Holy cow, I really don’t know if I have the words to fully articulate the wonderment that I experienced upon taking my first bite. The golden shell is buttery and has a nice a nice crunch while the filling made of potatoes, cheese and chicken took me straight to my happy place. The chicken filling is well seasoned and The folks at Goodies by Magooch are no has a bit of a spice to it. strangers to Edibles List.

Within about 30 minutes, I is not about the Gravity Lock Oil, as was feeling pretty good and ready to

relax. They didn’t bring me down to the point of couch lock and I was able to continue a day of work, but I was feeling pretty “loosey goosey” and in very high spirits – pun intended. The masterminds behind Goodies by Magooch are a dynamic wife and husband duo, Jenny and Rocky. They are patients servicing patients. Once upon a time Jenny was a bookkeeper at Steven Steak House in LA and Rocky was a union carpenter who wanted better tasting quality edibles at a reasonable price, and thus, Goodies by Magooch was born. They began creating their own personal use edibles and out of popular demand the company emerged. Not only are their edibles phenomenal, but Jenny and Rocky are such a pleasure to work with. They always have crowds of people gathered around their booth at shows, even with the delicious competitors selling space cakes and other sweet items and their upbeat personalities draw in the crowds. The team at Edibles List cannot wait to see what comes next for Goodies by Magooch. All we know, is that they are here to stay and if you haven’t tried their delicious infused empanadas I strongly suggest you do at the next cannabis event near you!

Canna Candy Corn Quesadillas Ingredients 12 Corn Tortillas 2 cups Roast Chicken, diced 3 tbsp Salsa, 3 tbsp Sour Cream 1 ½ tablespoons Green Chilies (roasted, canned or fresh), chopped Salt and pepper to taste 1 pkg sliced Monterey Jack or white Cheddar (white cheese) 1 pkg sliced Mild or Sharp Cheddar (dark orange) 1 small block Tillamook (light orange) Cheese 3 tbsp Canna Olive Oil Instructions Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut the tortillas into a triangle, leaving the bottom uncut and round (see diagram). Cut them in pairs so they will match together. Place all tortillas in a sealed zipper plastic bag with canna olive oil and lightly coat tortillas. In a small bowl combine the salsa and sour cream; stir to mix. In a medium mixing bowl combine the chicken, green chilies and salsa/sour cream and stir to completely combine. Salt and pepper to taste. Place one side of a pair of cut tortillas on a large baking sheet. Spoon 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture onto the tortilla and evenly spread it over the tortilla. Place the corresponding tortilla on top of the chicken mixture. Repeat for all the tortillas to make 6 quesadillas. Using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife, cut the cheese to cover the top tortilla in a candy corn pattern: white for the tip, dark orange for the middle (the largest section) and light orange for the top. Cover the whole tortilla. Repeat for the remaining quesadillas. Place quesadillas in the oven. Bake until the cheese has totally melted but don’t over bake until the cheese is thin and runny (about 5 minutes). Remove from oven, trim any extra cheese if desired and serve.

420 Mummy

Ingredients: 1 tbsp Sugar 2 tsp SAF Instant Yeast 1 ¼ tsp. salt 2 tbsp Canna Olive Oil (Try Goodies by Magooch Gravity Lock Extra Virigin Olive Oil)

¼ cup Milk 1 cup Hot Water 3 cups flour (approximately) 1 pkg Hot Dogs Mustard or Ketchup

Instructions: Combine sugar, yeast, salt, canna olive oil, milk, and water in a large mixer bowl. (I used my Bosch.) Add enough flour to make a soft dough. Knead on low speed until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Let dough rest 5 minutes. Break off pieces of dough and roll into ropes. Wrap around hot dogs. Make sure you leave a space for the eyes! Place on lightly greased cookie sheets. (I always have extra dough, so I just form rolls or breadsticks with the leftovers.) Let rise for 30-45 minutes. Bake in a preheated oven at 350° until lightly browned, about 1820 minutes. Use a toothpick dipped in ketchup or mustard to make the eyes. Serve warm with extra ketchup and mustard for dipping. 44

Instructions: Prep two cookie sheets by lining them with wax paper for an easy cleanup. Measure out rice cereal and place in a large bowl. In a small microwave proof bowl, put chocolate chips, peanut butter and canna butter. Heat in the microwave and stir until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract and then pour chocolate mixture over cereal. Stir to coat cereal. Place powdered sugar in a ziplock back, dump cereal into bag, seal and shake until coated. Dump cereal onto a cookie sheet, spread out and let cool for 20 minutes. Peanut Butter Chocolate: Follow steps 2-7 but use your semi sweet chocolate chips instead. Also, add cocoa powder to powdered sugar. After all cereal is cooled, mix together and add Peanut Butter Candies.

Ghoulish Quinoa with Brown-Canna Butter Sage Butternut Squash & Pepitas Ingredients: 3 cups prepared Black Quinoa 3 cups Butternut Squash, peeled and cut into 1/2 inch pieces 4 tbsp unsalted Canna Butter 1 1/2 tbspdiced Shallots 1 tbsp fresh Sage, diced 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt 1/2 tsp Black Pepper, ground 1/2 cup Pepitas, roasted and salted Instructions: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the canna butter stirring often. After melted allow canna butter to cook for 2-3 minutes while stirring.

Add the shallots and stir for 2 minutes. Add the sage and stir for an additional minute. The butter should foam slightly and begin to turn a deep golden color. Add the butternut squash and stir to fully coat with the butter mixture. Sprinkle in the salt and pepper over the squash. Move squash to ensure a single layer only. Let squash sit undisturbed for about 4 minutes to brown slightly (check to be sure they are not over browning). Once the squash has browned on the bottom, stir them, turning the browned side up. Reduce heat to medium low, cover and allow to become soft (5-7 minutes). Check for doneness; the squash should still retain their form but not be hard in the middle. Add the cooked quinoa to the squash mixture and using a spatula, fold in the quinoa. The quinoa will absorb any remaining butter mixture. Serve immediately.

CANNABIS AS A

SPORT PERFORMANCE ENHANCER? marijuana in his blood at the 1998 Japan games, his first-place win finish was temporarily called into question. THC, the main mind-altering chemical in marijuana, wasn’t even included in the International Olympic Committee’s banned-substances list at the time (it is now, but at a much higher level than the one he tested at). Rebagliati was allowed to keep his victory and medal. It turns out marijuana might actually help some people perform better at certain sports.

DR. ALLEN MILLER STAFF EXPERT After a long career as a Diplomat in Sports Medicine and working with Olympic Track & Field Teams internationally, NFL Players, Professional Rodeo Cowboys and all strata of athletes for 20+ years I’m uniquely qualified to discuss this topic. Edwin Moses is one of the most famous accomplished Track and Field athletes of all time (Wikipedia, 1984, p. 1). What people outside the sports community most likely don’t know is that Mr. Moses vigilant about what he ingested, the amount of time he trained, when he trained, etc. This significant professionalism is what led to 107 wins and several gold medals from 1976 to 1984. Mr. Moses is famous for measuring everything that went into his body down to the micrograms of supplements, water, and protein as well as everything else he encountered. He trained incessantly which brought about the usual stress injuries consistent with athletes of his stature. Cannabis in those years has viewed a detriment to sporting competitions. It was inaccurately portrayed as the “stoner drug” and unless as Robin Williams later joked, “the only way its a performance-enhancing drug is if there’s a big f---ing Hershey bar at the end of the run,” right? However, when Olympic snowboarder Ross Rebagliati tested positive for a small amount of 46

The Men’s Journal interviewed elite triathlete Clifford Drusinsky, a Colorado gym owner who also leads training sessions fueled by marijuana edibles. He states “Marijuana relaxes me and allows me to go into a controlled, meditational place,” Drusinsky told Men’s Journal. “When I get high, I train smarter and focus on form.” And here is the problem, sports are in most cases a personal sport, training, mentality, focus, all come into play when competition. Obviously, the better your focused, trained and relaxed to compete at the highest level possible. The question that comes to mind is this unfair advantage? Does the ingestion of Cannabis, give the athlete an edge in competing. By definition, a performance-enhancing drug is any substance taken by athletes to improve performance. This term is referenced often and typically refers to anabolic steroid use in sports by professional and amateur athletes. Other substances may also be taken to improve performance, including human growth hormone (hGH), stimulants and diuretics (Drug-Free Sport, 2014, p. 2). The American College of Sports Medicine go so far as to say “It is the position of the American Dietetic Association, Dietitians of Canada, and the American College of Sports Medicine that physical activity, athletic performance, and recovery from exercise are enhanced by optimal nutrition (“Pubmed.org,” 2014, p. 2). I have worked with United States

Olympic Teams as well as Nigerian, Sierra Leone as well as several other foreign Olympic Teams with dramatic inequality of proper nutrition training and coaching. So by definition Cannabis is a sport enhancing performance “drug” as well as proper nutrition is to sports performance enhancement substance. Cannabis after all is just an herb, in its natural form it is a vasodilator, antiinflammatory, it decreases stress, anxiety, increases focus, and most importantly, it facilitates faster postcompetition recovery (Independent Drug Monitoring Unit, 2014, p. 2). Many professional athletes use this “drug” to decrease pain, brain swelling increasing, mental clarity and decreasing anxiety. Now, it’s being ingested to enhance the training providing a competitive edge as well as decrease recovery time. As I stated, by definition Cannabis is a sports performance enhancing supplement, and will take its place along the other enhanced nutritional supplements on the market today. Cannabis continues to be a Schedule 1 drug, However, it is not listed on the banned substance list. It continues to be an unraveling enigma when it comes to its effects and possibilities for human performance. However, professional athletes are committed to one thing, winning and this seems to be an advantage to any athlete at any level. References: (1984). Edwin Moses.

SHUM-MET ™ CBD REVIEW containing the product has an Egyptian scene right next to an actual depiction of what you can expect inside, that way there are no surprises!

Edibles aren’t just meant to be a means of consumption to get you “so totally stoned, dude.” Edibles are the source of relief for a countless number of symptoms and ailments. Shum-Met™ understands this sentiment. Their name comes from the Egyptian term “Shumshum-met” meaning “the medical marijuana plant.” The Egyptians believed that the possibilities for the cannabis plant were infinite. I’d say we still have a thing or two to learn from ancient Egypt.

White Chocolate Macadamia, Cookies and Cream, Dank Dark, Salty Scotch, Tooty Frooty, Strawberry Shortcake This is not the first hemp CBD edible that I have had, and more! but I will tell you it is one of the better ones. The best part about Shum-Met™ Bars – in my opinion – is that they are great for daytime medicating, chronic pain and anxiety. This can be attributed to the absence of THC. Without the THC I did not experience the “come down” after the medicine wore off. CBD is a known antiinflammatory, so it helps reduce pain quite a bit. Also, since there is in THC present, you don’t run the risk of encountering the paranoia so it does not incite anxiety – which is fantastic!

Shum-Met™ emerged onto the scene in mid-2014. This Colorado based company isn’t just making a splash in the industry; it’s more of a tidal wave. Earlier this year, Shum-Met™ received the Best CBD Edible Award at Cannabis Cup Colorado in April. It was then that they realized the great need for good CBD infused edibles and thus, Shum-Met™ CBD was born.

I had the pleasure of trying the strawberry shortcake flavor. It was delicious! The chocolate was pink in color and undoubtedly smelled like strawberry. The bar is made up of eight squares. It’s great that the company does that because when it comes to CBD, a little bit goes a long way, so by pre-scoring it makes it very easy for someone to control dosing. The white chocolate

BANANA THE HEALTHY KYMBER WARD STAFF EDITOR

CANINE CBD DOG TREATS

Cannabis is not just for humans! More and more we are seeing companies that cater to man’s best friend. Pet owners are becoming more aware of the horrible things that are put in their furry companion’s food. Consumers are calling for a natural, non-chemical means to help their pets. This is precisely where The Healthy Canine based in Oregon comes in. As featured on Edibles List Magazine’s September 2015 cover, they produce Canna Banana Dog treats, a line of organic, grain-free CBD dog treats. All of their ingredients are locally sourced and each treat is handmade in a commercial kitchen. Canna Banana Dog treats ingredients include: buckwheat flour, banana, peanut butter, flax seed meal, honey, egg, medical cannabis CBD oil, vanilla (certified organic). Their preferred method of infusion is CBD BHO. The process of infusing the CBD BHO is easy in the sense that the oil is already decarboxylated at 250 degreed, but difficult in the sense that it takes a long time to cook the product a low temperatures, careful to not strip the medicinal benefits from the plant. Each pet treat contains 7.3mg CBD / 1.6mg THC. Each package contains two regular sized pet treats. Believe it or not, our September cover girl Mystie Mountain is an 11-yearold longhaired Husky who thoroughly enjoys cannabis. Her owner has been giving her CBD treatments for many years. Like most big dogs Mystie has developed arthritis in her hindquarter. She has a hard time keeping up with her best friend Buddy. Buddy is a White German Shepherd mix who is 3-years-old and is a bit neurotic and has serious separation anxiety. Unlike his bestie, he does not like cannabis. As a test of this theory, we decided to do a blind taste test (of sorts) with the duo. In the right hand we held a CBD infused Canna Banana Dog treat and in the left we held the exact same treat made without CBD. Each time we did this, Mystie went straight for the infused treat and Buddy took the non-infused version. After giving Mystie one Canna Banana Dog treat a day, for three days, we saw noticeable changes in her stance and walk. She seemed to have a much easier time getting around. She became much more at ease when trying to stand up or sit down. Her spirits seemed high and once again she reclaimed her title as ‘Queen of the Dog Park’. She was once more able to keep up with the pack while chasing the ball. Buddy was given the same amount of infused treats as Mystie for the same duration. He became a different dog; he seemed to have a calm come over him. When left alone he did not cry or howl and even left his mom’s shoes alone (his preferred method of punishment for leaving him) – always a win in our book! Buddy was far more relaxed and was happy simply sunbathing all day. All in all it is this writer’s humble opinion that if dogs could speak, Mystie and Buddy would tell us how much they loved the Canna Banana Dog treats by The Healthy Canine! If you are a cannabis enthusiast or even just love your dog beyond words who has some kind of ailment we suggest you check out The Healthy Canine. Their treats are organic and lab tested. They grow their own medicine to ensure the quality of the plant. The Healthy Canine is not only Edibles List Approved, but also Mystie and Buddy think they are just WOOFTASTIC!

In contrast, whole plant extractions typically include CBD, THC, and more than 400 trace compounds. Many of these compounds interact synergistically to create what scientists refer to as an “entourage effect” that magnifies the therapeutic benefits of the plant’s individual components—so that the medicinal impact of the whole plant is greater than the sum of its parts.
