WeddingPot?

Why Not! Now you can tie the knot and enjoy some pot at the same time. The more states that legalize weed, the more entrepreneurs spring up and create new industries that include it. It’s probably no surprise that weed has made its way into the wedding nuptials legally – most of us can probably remember a time when we stood out in the back of a church or reception hall and shared a toke.

But now there’s a demand for your favorite blend right inside the hall itself. More and more event planners are having to work pot right into the party favors and even the nuptials themselves. The whole thing is on a huge role ( pun intended) and there’s even a Cannabis Wedding Expo where people getting married get to meet vendors who deal legally.

Leafy Addition If you’re looking to get this leafy addition

to your reception, the people who started this idea are making it sound as common as place names on the tables and salad forks .

For example, one company in Colorado even suggests that you have one bartender for every 35 guests.

Keep in mind there might be some different rules for weed at your wedding depending on where you are. For example, in Colorado you’re not allowed to tip the budtender and newly married couples need to donate the pot for the service.

Those are both pretty small concessions when you consider the upside to having Mary Jane as a guest at your wedding as opposed to Jack Daniels. There’s always the However, if you’re already thinking these problem of over consumption with booze wedding expos are a little like a smaller version and the fallout of somebody who’s acted of the stories your parents told you about out after having too much. Remember Woodstock, think again. These are classy that Uncle you never really knew dancing affairs with cannabis professionals instructing something called The Chicken Dance? With couples about presenting everything from marijuana, everybody gets to enjoy a heightclassy Bud Bars to elegant pairings of cannabis ened mellow evening. with meals and drinks.

Weedify Your Wedding

Keep in mind that if you’re here in California, you can go all out with your creative side and even weedify your wedding with a dab bar as well as a whole host of weed based goodies.

Of course the whole idea of baked goods takes on a whole new meaning here.

This is a great way for everyone who loves their herb— both medical marijuana users and recreational tokers alike, to show weed’s classy and elegant side. It’s becoming more and more mainstream every day. Anyone can put the safeguards they use for alcohol together to keep it away from children at weddings and wedding receptions.

However you decide to include wedding pot in your plans, making dabbing, vaping, munching and toking a big part of saying “I do,” can be a big part of today’s ceremonies.

lots to like s ’ e r e h abo t y h ut W

There’s always a few moments of nervousness at the beginning of a meeting like this – the person being interviewed doesn’t know what questions are coming their way and the writer wants to make a good first impression.

The tone was set for what was supposed to be a formal business type interview but quickly became something more like a chat between two old friends. Lauren is both friendly and enthusiastic. Almost immediately after you meet her, you know she’s attached herself to the medical marijuana scene with a compassionate anchor. She’s one of those rare people that doesn’t see dollar signs in the leaves but more of a way to bring everyone up to her positive life embracing level.

First Things First

But there’s a first things first as they say and there’s no denying Lauren has an impressive track record as a successful businesswoman who wants to give back and help people who need medical marijuana at the same time. She started an edible business over a decade ago and that early business venture spawned an interesting character that has made her famous and pointed her career in another direction.

Miss.Wifey was a nickname her friends gave her and it stuck when she started her business persona. She used it as one of the vehicles to reach out with her edible products and the whole adventure became an exercise in getting people the medicine they needed in an interesting and fun way.

The story behind how the business got its name goes a long way in telling you where Lauren is coming from.

“That was my nickname for a long time,” she says. “My image came out of that, but it was the medical marijuana business that had cake pops and cookies, candy and tea that got me started. I made an alternative to Hubby Bars and carried everything but 20

THE 420 BOOK

chocolate bars so that’s where the name came from. So now we have hubby and wifey out here.”

Creative and Elegant Side

When you see some of those products you can get a glimpse of her creative and elegant side. They are richly adorned and look like the kind of treats you might see in a department store window in 1950s Macy’s store.

She says it’s all part of her affection for 1950s style and her desire to emulate it as much as possible. Still, that’s only part of the reason the company and her persona are named Miss.Wifey.

“If you meet me you’d understand it,” she says. “I’m a really caring outgoing person.”

Her compassionate side is fueled by another chapter in her life story. Lauren isn’t just in the business of medical marijuana to make others feel better about their lives; she’s also someone who enjoys the weed herself.

Harsh Term

As far as the business goes, she’s quick to point out that she accepts donations but shies away from using terms like selling when it comes to her products. There’s a distinction she makes clear.

“We like to say we don’t sell medicine here,” she says. “ We accept donations for it instead. Selling is a harsh term.”

With that little piece of “business” out of the way, Lauren dives into the items on the menu that reads like everything you’d want to sample on a fun night at the fair.

You can donate for cake pops, brownies and cookies rice crispy treats, lollipops and even tea,” she says. “ It’s mostly word-of-mouth. I go right into the clinics so I can show people what I have.”

Elaborately Decorated

Lauren’s products are all elaborately decorated to liven up everyone’s day, and even though she goes so far as to describe them as “super girly”, she quickly shows another serious side when asked about the relationship she has fostered with the people she deals with.

“I’m a celebrity supplier so I’ve met a lot of people, but in the medical industry we don’t name drop. I get called into the green room and the backs of concert halls. I get to go and hang out at the back and meet some really awesome people.”

On top of all that, there’s a personalized touch to everything Lauren does that extends far beyond the way she deals with the people she helps. Beyond being one of the strongest edibles that are on the market currently, the cake pops she makes includes the concentrate crumble she fashions herself. After that, it all goes into a cake batter.

She explains another part of the process.

“Then I dip them into the highest quality of chocolate and decorate them after with a variety of other chocolates. After that, they’re decorated with pretty ribbons and colorful labels.”

More than CBD

It’s all designed to bring more than CBD medicine to the patients she sees. There is a kinship at work here and a real desire on Lauren’s part to share the good tidings and health that marijuana can bring.

She’s one of the new breed of people who sees the possibilities and rallies against the old Cheech and Chong image of the stoner by adding a compassionate layer.

When you look at the packages she creates, they don’t look like things that would have THC in them at all. Her products look a lot more like a holiday gift or something that would make a child’s eyes wide with excitement on a holiday.

Quality and Craftsmanship

This kind of quality and craftsmanship couldn’t help but get noticed.

That’s how Lauren’s alter ego Miss.Wifey started to land jobs helping people in the same industry market their products. Lauren explains the transition.

“As I was doing the baking, the image of Miss.Wifey became popular. People wanted to hire me to stand there and promote their products. I started helping other companies get their brand out there and market,” she says.

Digging a little deeper, it’s no surprise to find out that this is why her image came as naturally to Lauren as her desire to help people with her marijuana products. She went out of her way to make sure both sides of her business ventures had the right kind of compassion that mirrored back her personal beliefs.

Retro Home Cook

She says the whole thing just happened and she enjoys dressing up like a pin up girl for these gigs. There’s real attention to detail – her uniform includes an apron and name tag like a waitress in a 1950s diner. She calls the image a retro home cook.

It was the image that people didn’t forget and one of the cornerstones of how things began to pick up for Lauren. One thing led to another for her.

“I’ve also done customized cannabis cakes for several celebrity parties,” she says rounding out the balancing act between the image that’s a throwback to another era and the modern ambitious woman.

Community

For Lauren, being involved with medical marijuana and promotions is about much more than just having a business. She explains the community of creative people she’s found who use marijuana in more than just recreational ways.

“It all creates a really crazy and great culture,” she says when talking about the medical pot culture she’s become a part of. “ “This is the medicine that brings people together from all over the world.”

“Some of these kids need to leave their homes and their friends and their family to go to a state where it’s legal to get the medication they need,” she says.

One of the other things you notice right away when you’re talking to her is the fact that she has the facts when it comes to how medical marijuana can combat disease. She’s passionate about the way weed

need can help with other common ailments like epilepsy and loves to talk about how she’s heard about smokers who wrestled epilepsy to the ground using pot.

The Epilepsy Foundation has some interesting statistics and even backs up the claims that CBD can help control epileptic seizures.

Their website specifically mentions the particular kind of this disease that affects children called Dravet Syndrome and the results from medical pot.

Lauren is also part of the active people in the medical marijuana world who are involved with the support groups that naturally form when these people meet. She says she knows of several groups of patients who have got together to form these small communities.

Routine in Life

She even mentions one of her friends who relies on medical marijuana to be able to get on with the routine in his life. It’s a characteristic of the people who understand how medical marijuana is more than medicine and how it can also be a tool to reach out and understand what others are going through.

Like a lot of people in her industry, Lauren is very adamant about making sure there’s a clear distinction about the people who use medical marijuana and those that abuse pot.

“People don’t look at Advil as a gateway drug and they shouldn’t look at marijuana that way either. ,” she says.

To that end, Miss.Wifey thinks that it’s very important to get the right story out about people who use pot. She says there are some stoners who give the medical marijuana crowd a bad name.

Of course, she’s also interested in making sure that she uses her newfound celebrity to further her career.

She rounds off all of her endeavors by working in a variety of other arenas like being a Sullen Angel.

In the end, you get a real sense that Lauren is using everything she’s got because she cares about what medical marijuana can do for people. That means she’s involved in a variety of different things that all have her characteristic drive and upbeat nature.

Still, there is no mistaking the fact that she’s grounded and always looking to give back. In a world where the amount of money you make is often the bottom line, Lauren Nicole Jianuzzi is a bit of a throwback to another more simple era.

The final product she tells us about is something that Miss.Wifey and anyone who knows about one of the great 1950s pastimes will be familiar with.

The regulations governing a legal cannabis business in California are changing in 2018. Beginning in January, the first state-licensed cannabis stores will open for business and begin adult-use sales.

This means new licensing applications that will include an overhaul of the non-medical cannabis regulations in the state.

More Business Means More Personnel

Along with the expanded licensing opportunities and regulations will come new demands for additional personnel at your Collective. If you plan to expand your current operations or start up a delivery service, cultivation operation or store front dispensary, you’ll also be required to observe all changes to the new collective compliance laws.

At SourceOne HMC, we have you and your Collective covered, whether cultivating or dispensing medicinal, adult-use cannabis or both. Operating a small to medium size business can be complicated, especially when dealing with new regulations and changes in state and local laws.

Additionally, our WebPay service ensures you have continuous remote access to any of your accounts from any computer. You have the freedom to change or update employee data, enter hours or download reports at your convenience.

California’s expanded opportunities for marijuana collectives offer you the opportunity to expand your business and payroll. SourceOne HCM can manage the process for collectives compliance today.

Here’s an itinerary to make it eight crazy nights of weed-friendly events

Ni ht One

g : it’s going to be a family affair, and since you never know how that’s gonna turn out... we’ve got you covered...a bong big enough for the whole family to bond with...and some more covert glass that’ll allow you to sneak away from aunt agatha’s inquisition...and still be back in time for the soup, or the vague looks of disapproval.

Two

Four Three

Ni ht Two

g : What’s your favorite thing? We like the raw-Cone Bubbler, classy weighty, and a great delivery...guaranteed to make Chanukah better than another dreidel would.

Ni ht Three

g : The Hand made(s) tale. Handrolled J’s and blunts. Just like matzah it’s always better when it’s handmade. Do it right, wrap it tight, and have a good night.

Five

Night Four : get Cozy! Candy Cane joints, candles, cocoa...a little sinatra, some Tony Bennet,

put those pJ’s and settle in...you’re half way there.

ght Five: now that you’ve gotten some Ni rest...it’s time to saVe THe WooooorrrrlD. or

at least a puppy. The world’s ruff sometimes.... sooo volunteer at a dog shelter...and look into lifting a four legged friend’s spirits with one of our pet friendly bundles.

One

Six Seven

ght Six: educate yourself and others. Buy a Ni Wiz Khalifa lyric tip book. live, learn and light it up with some of your favorite Wiz songs on rollable raw paper. share the light.

ght Seven : laugh it up. Fill yourself with Ni mirth and good cheer by loading up on some

Cheech and Chong papers and putting on your favorite movie. note to reader: just say no to the Corsican Brothers. Just...don’t.

ght Eight : ok, you’ve been good, you Ni didn’t get into it with aunt agatha...you even

Eight

complimented your brother-in law’s terrible sweater and your mother’s burnt everything...

Time to be a little mischievous! give the gift of surprise. Hide stuff from your loved ones. They’ll be glad when they find the goodies you’ve left behind.

By Robb Star

It’s probably no surprise to everyone in California, but pot is a big business and the rest of the country is starting to catch on. Here’s a good case in point.

r Supoel! co

Erik Altieri from NORML recently talked to USA Today about one of the latest innovations in the marijuana industry. It seems there’s a Phoenixbased company that will soon make vending machines that only dispense their product using customer’s biometric information.

If that all sounds a little forward thinking and on the verge of something from a sci-fi movie, it should. What makes the news even more interesting is the reason the technology was developed was to dispense weed.

This is a great idea for people who want to get their hands on a little smoke without having to go through any face-to-face contact. The technology is designed to make it easier for people to get medical marijuana if they need it but still feel there might be a stigma around buying it from a dispensary.

American Green is the company that is bringing this idea along. So far, a prototype was displayed at a convention in Las Vegas. As far as vending machines that sell marijuana go presently, one’s been in use in Seattle since 2015.

Up in Canada, a pot dispensary company there has their own version that came into play last year.

Granted, marijuana is only one of the products that are being considered for this new type of vending machine. Other types of age restricted products these might sell will include alcohol and even guns. Using the machine would require a little preplanning.

First of all, you’d need to set up an account using a government issued ID. There might even be a doctor’s prescription required in certain circumstances. When everything is ready to go, the machine would use your fingerprint and scan it before allowing you to buy any of the products.

Imagine being able to buy beer at a baseball game at Yankee Stadium and then your favorite blend from a dispensary here in California? It sounds a lot like these vending machines are going to be a good buzz in more than one way.

If you’ve been following along and watching pot’s climb toward respectability, you’ll probably notice that what’s going on in states like Colorado and California help to lead the way. There’s a whole lot of opportunity when it comes to everything from medical to recreational marijuana.

You know pot is really becoming mainstream when investors start paying attention. That’s why if you’re thinking about getting involved, you can take a look at what a company like Cannabis Benchmarks has to offer.

They’re a provider of business, financial and industry data for North American cannabis markets. Just goes to show you that it won’t be long before the whole industry has a solid place on Wall Street. Makes you kind of wonder if the Wall Street Bull might get a little makeover to soften him up down the road like a pair of cool sunglasses.

s n g i s e D l Grow Op

a i c r e m m Co

ry t s u d n I d e e W e h t f o n i a t Be a Cap

By Robb Star

Don’t you think it’s really something that weed has gone from an exchange you made looking over your shoulder at the side of the school to a huge climate controlled enterprise that gets carried out in places as big as your high school gym?

Isn’t it cool that the world has gone from making you hide even a joint in your sock to allowing you to lay your plants out in neat little rows and pamper them to full health?

We’re talking about the legal commercial grow op of course and how you too can be a captain of this new industry with just a little instruction. Maybe you’re looking to be the Henry Ford of Herb? How about the J.P. Morgan of Mary Jane?

Okay, we can skip the names because you get the point.

Growing your own pot can become a big business especially when it’s medical marijuana. That said here’s a few pointers about the things you need to know.

We have a few things to consider (listed right) if you’re looking to design a commercial grow op. Getting financing means having all your plans in order.

When you’re looking to get the money to start your operation, it’s a good idea to make sure all the documentation is in order like bank statements and work records.

Being a captain of the weed industry is all about forging a new frontier.

However, businesses is still business and you need to have all your ducks in a row to make sure you can get started the right way. Finally, you should keep in mind that one of the bigger costs is going to be a good climate control system.

Having an undersized system here can mean too much downtime.

THE THE 420 420 BOOK BOOK

Don’t skip the blueprint. Sure, you’re excited about watching your plants grow but you need to think like a business person at the same time. It’s important to have a plan to follow regardless of whether you’re looking to build a completely new building or renovating an existing one. Keep in mind that any lender is going to want to see a detailed business plan as well as blueprint that spells out how you will make logistical as well as workflow decisions. Truly business before pleasure here.

Check The Electrical. Not checking the electrical supply is one of the bigger mistakes that rookie captains of the marijuana industry make. Growing cannabis inside means you’ll need to have lots of power. Check with the local electrical provider to make sure that you can get all the electricity you need. Remember, don’t just go by the number listed on the transformer pole outside.

Make sure you prioritize the rooms properly. Having a vegetative and flower room in your plans isn’t enough.

It’s important to plan this out properly and make sure there is a solid rotation for the plants through the vegetative room as well as enough size.
