DAMIANmarley By: STEPHANIE SHEHAN

>>>

s many of you may have heard, High Times Magazine which was founded back in 1974 was recently purchased by a group of twenty investors. One of those investors was Bob Marley’s youngest son Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley. I recently had the chance to speak to Damian about his involvement with High Times, his various ventures within the cannabis industry and the release of his fourth album entitled Stony Hill.

COASTAL CANNABIS MAGAZINE: You are one of the new investors in High Times Magazine. What led you to this investment? DAMIAN MARLEY: High Times has been around for many years. In fact, I grew up reading High Times as a kid in Jamaica. It was a part of my upbringing and education on the plant, and also a way for my friends and I to see what the buds looked like that we had yet to experience. With my recent ventures within the cannabis space, investing in High Times just made sense. CCM: You, along with your business partner Ocean Grown Extracts recently purchased a 77,000 square foot, former prison in Coalinga, California with the intention of converting it into a cannabis grow facility. Tell me about that project. DAMIAN: When we were looking for real estate to purchase for our grow facility, we had a difficult time finding something big enough to accommodate our project. We were told that the Claremont Custody Center, which was a former prison was available and after looking at it decided that it would be the ideal place for our cultivation center. Although it is ironic that we are now growing cannabis in a

place that formerly housed inmates possibly convicted for marijuana drug charges, we did not initially set out to purchase this property just because it was a former prison. We are growing flower but have not harvested yet. We are currently making concentrates at the facility. CCM: Hats off to you and your crew. The Coalinga, California economy will greatly benefit from the tax revenue and employment offerings that your facility will bring. In what other states do you operate cannabis businesses? DAMIAN: Last year I opened Stony Hill Dispensary in collaboration with TruCannabis in Denver, Colorado. The recreational dispensary is located across from Mile High Stadium. CCM: What is the meaning behind the dispensary name? DAMIAN: Stony Hill is the neighborhood in Jamaica where I grew up. CCM: Are you excited to work in the California cannabis market? DAMIAN: Absolutely! We want to have our products in all medical and recreational states. CCM: Your newest album highlights your many ties to the cannabis industry. And, one of the songs entitled “Medication” which features your brother Stephen Marley emphasizes cannabis use as medicine. The video was phenomenally done and intros with actual cannabis patients giving their testimonies to the healing aspects of cannabis. What was your motivation for this song? DAMIAN: Cannabis is medicine. I present my cannabis use to my own son this way. I will always educate him on the healing

aspects of the plant. For this song, to be able to bring in true patient testimonies and also film the video at the former prison and cultivation site gave us the opportunity to bring in some great visual effects and really touch our audience. The recreational side of this plant is no secret to anyone. But, we need to make sure that we continue to educate people about the medicinal side as well.

CCM: What industry changes do you think we need to see in order for this movement to progress? DAMIAN: People have always consumed marijuana recreationally and the recreational market will always bring in money. As an industry, we need to approach things from a medical and cultural standpoint. In places where cannabis is accepted, we are seeing medical research and this is what we need. CCM: What do you think your father, the legendary Bob Marley would think about the cannabis movement today? DAMIAN: I think he would love what is happening. We just have to keep moving forward. CCM: You just released your album Stony Hill. What else do you have coming up in the near future? DAMIAN: Yes, Stony Hill released last month. I am very excited about it because it is my first solo album in about 12 years. In the cannabis space, I am looking at opening additional dispensaries and am looking forward to our first harvest at the grow facility. I am also very interested in helping to progress the marijuana movement in Jamaica.

aragon, a blockchain project based in LA, fronted by Jayceon Terrell Taylor, better known by his stage name The Game, and CEO Jessica VerSteeg, who first obtained her celebrity status as Miss Iowa, are raising $100 million to “optimize cannabis supply chain.” In plain English, to enable dispensaries, growers, labs, medical offices, smoke shops and countless other businesses connected with the industry to transact with a currency other than cash. Although we at Coastal Cannabis stayed out of the whole initial coin offering (ICO) craze and the blockchain conversation, this particular project is actually happening in the real world, not in some MIT lab powered by Harvard algorithms, enabling those interested to analyze a real monetary program designed for the cannabis Industry. Paragon wants to ease the pain of businesses involved in the cannabis industry by creating a network where it would be ok to lease office space, pay for deliveries, and deposit money without the usual distractions of red tape and social stigma. The key to this world is blockchain technology, and keeping the money within the Cannabis Block. “We believe that blockchain is the missing link between cannabis and its full and proper

legalization,” said VerSteeg in the release issued by Paragon technology partner, ICOBox. Our analysis of the Paragon business model boils down to this. Together, using software engineers from ICOBox (Initial Coin Offering) and experts from their own team, Paragon developed smart contracts which are basically a list of transactions that can be recorded via blockchain. To facilitate these transactions, Paragon is issuing a token called Paragon Coin which is designed to become a virtual currency within the ecosystem. All members of the cannabis community who want to join can convert their dollars into Paragon Coin, and settle their bills using this form of payment. Paragon token value is tied to the U.S. dollar. Tokens can be bought with most cyber currencies. And, as most of our readers know, cyber currencies can be purchased with cash. To be able to do this, Paragon needed to make sure that the token could support all needed transactions and work seamlessly with blockchain technologies. ICOBox helped design Paragon smart contacts and helped launch the new cannabis monetary unit. “Paragon is tackling a gigantic challenge by bringing the much needed transparency to the cannabis industry,” said Nick Evdokimov, ICOBox co-founder, and Paragon Advisor. Paragon is looking to sell $100 million worth of its PRG tokens. Each costing a dollar, they are available for purchase

in stages. The presale stage, which recently ended, offered early buyers 35 cents off each dollar spent with a minimum of $25,000 per transaction and a ceiling of $5 million.

Paragon Chief Creative Officer, Egor Lavrov reported on Paragon's Telegram channel that the initial $25 million token block has sold out. That's after just 10 days. What are they doing with the money? First, they are going to set up 20 “We Work” type community spaces focused on licensed cannabis businesses. Second, they are going to offer fixed-price services from some of the best names in the industry to give cannabis businesses professional legal, political and new business advice. No wonder The Game was so enthusiastic about the project. He and VerSteeg posted a video announcing the effort on Facebook.

THE LATEST It was inspiring to see The Game backing Paragon, because of all of his involvement and contribution to the cannabis industry. He is already heavily invested in the cannabis industry, having multiple cannabis ventures including ties to a dispensary, cannabis products, a cannabis marketing company, and not to mention his music. But what motivated me was hearing him say, “We are revolutionizing … the world!” According to ICOBox, retail sales for legal marijuana generated revenue of $6.7 billion in 2016 and the marijuana industry would make a little over $19 billion by 2020. Paragon Token sales are an interesting way to develop cannabis businesses, and with companies like ICOBox running a program like their ICOS token where startups can do an ICO for free in exchange for future revenue share (regular price is 50 BTC or $200,000 at today's exchange rate) ICOs seem like a viable option to develop business projects for many innovative companies in the cannabis industry. With $1.9 billion dollars in token sales since January 1, 2017, according to industry watchdog, Smith+Crown, “This is certainly not an opportunity many cannabis entrepreneurs can leave unattended.” You've heard the clichè, “You snooze, you lose!” Get with the program. It is exciting to see all of this happening for the Cannabis Industry. ICOBox is looking to do 800 FREE ICOs over the next 12 months, and is taking applications at icobox.io. Investigate and scrutinize the Paragon Coin for yourself. Get involved in the revolutionary beginning of something that will change the face of how we spend our money, and lift our industry up to a new level of trust and success!

ARE STRAIN NAMES USEFUL?

or recreational cannabis, where marketing is king and differentiating one’s products takes creativity and yet importantly demands a reproducible experience for the end user, enter the new marketing trend known as “effectsbased” classification, where strains go unnamed in place of words imbuing an anticipated, reproducible outcome for the end user. And for established medicinal cannabis companies, where shrouding behind proprietary monikers may just work through rebranding with a polished tag in the vain of BigPharma. At this rousing time where the distinction between recreational and medicinal cannabis has high stakes for the entire industry, I present an example of rebranding from both camps. Leading the wave in “effects-based” cannabis classification is Southern California’s Canndescent. Since you can’t really create any distinction, excitement or proprietary protection on a product

made from any given Blue Dream or say an OG Kush strain extract, one could create a marketing campaign based on the effects they might reliably result in. Canndescent is a fully integrated cannabis cultivation and production company aimed at the adult market who hopes to differentiate itself through marketing its premium cannabis-based products much as premium wines are and aimed as recreational consumers who may be naïve when they enter a dispensary. For Canndescent those “effects-based” classifications are called pillars, and there are five: CALM, CRUISE, CREATE, CONNECT or CHARGE. These terms obviously relate to how the products make users feel. I suppose there will be proprietary recipes created through combining various cannabis extracts and perhaps other disclosed or undisclosed chemicals to reach these states of effect. Were the words describing the effects chosen first? Why five? Were trials/tastings held to determine what constitutes a CHARGE vs. a CRUISE effect? Are there product specs to be met?

FOUNDED 2007

By: Dr. Aseem Sappal Provost & Dean of the Faculty, Oaksterdam University

Oaksterdam University has been cultivating leaders since 2007, celebrating ten years of quality training for the cannabis industry! At OU, you will learn from the very ﬁrst dispensary owners in the United States, the ﬁrst attorneys to ever take cannabis cases to the Supreme Court and the authors of America’s 1st cannabis legislations—Proposition 215, Senate Bill 420 and more recently California’s MCRSA & AUMA.

annabis, both medical and adult-use is gaining public acceptance around the world, not just in the United States. Mexico, Ireland, and Germany all recently legalized cannabis for medical use, plus Canada, Israel, and Uruguay have decriminalized the plant.

Even though the U.S. has the most valuable legal marijuana market in the world, federal law makes studying the plant extremely difficult. First of all, cannabis is still considered a “Schedule I” substance since the Controlled Substance Act of 1970, declaring it a “drug with no medical value and a high potential for abuse.” Because of cannabis’ “Schedule I” classification, researchers have to jump through hoops and pass a rigorous multi agency review to begin clinical research. First a DEA license is required, then approval from the FDA. Some researchers wait years for this process and still never get their studies approved. Then, if research is approved, the actual cannabis cannot be simply purchased at a dispensary. By law it needs to come from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), which is lower quality than cannabis offered in commercial and medical dispensaries, often making research obsolete. Research on cannabis is needed for two main public health reasons. The first is for medical benefits. As of now, there are many preliminary studies but most of the public’s medical cannabis knowledge comes from anecdotes. Like how young Charlotte Figi’s seizure disorder was radically helped by a strain high in CBD, later named Charlotte’s Web in her honor. In Mexico, there’s a little girl, Grace Elizalde, who was the first medical marijuana patient in the Latin American nation. Her foundation, Por Grace has helped Mexico approve medical cannabis. The second biggest reason we need more cannabis research: adult-use marijuana is on the rise with public acceptance mounting, so people deserve to know the long term health effects of using the plant. There is plenty of research on the effects of other substances, from alcohol and cigarettes to over-the-counter drugs like ibuprofen, but the information on cannabis is severely limited. What’s happening chemically in a smoker's body over time? Is their eyesight being affected? What about memory and lung function? Is it safe for pregnant women to consume? These are important public health issues that demand answers as quickly as we are passing legislation. By 2018, anyone over 21 will be able to purchase and use cannabis legally in California, the 5th largest economy in the world and the most populated state in America with over 39 million people as of 2015. Not to mention the entire nation of Canada is about to have full adult access to cannabis as well. These millions of potential consumers have the right to know how cannabis affects their bodies from reliable, peer reviewed sources.

CONCENTRATES

BY OSCAR HUNT BSC & DARRYL JOHNSON, PHD ACE ANALYTICAL LABORATORY

or many novice cannabis consumers, the dispensary can be an intimidating place full of unfamiliar products. Concentrates are becoming an increasingly popular consumption method and have created an entire subculture within the cannabis community. Cannabis concentrates or extracts are refined products that contain high amounts of cannabis oil with little to no plant matter. Unfortunately, concentrated cannabis products have received some negative attention from people unfamiliar with how they are used or produced. Furthermore, concentrates made from butane extractions have been vilified in part due to YouTube videos of explosions and house fires caused by amateur extractors who do not have the proper equipment or training to work with hydrocarbon solvents. While concentrates do contain high levels of cannabinoids including THC and terpenes, they are sold and consumed in much smaller quantities than cannabis flowers or edibles.

melt) can be smoked on a screen, added to a bowl of flower, or mixed with tobacco to create a spliff. When consumed, full melts leave behind virtually no residue whereas half-melts leave behind some ash or plant matter residue.

Concentrates come in a variety of consistencies and can serve many purposes. Products such as butters, shatters, rosins, crumbles, saps, and sugars are known for their unique textures and exceptional taste profiles. Disposable vaporizer cartridges and vape oil syringes also contain extracted oils and distillates. They may contain synthetic ‘candy’ flavors, natural or synthetic terpenes, or may not have a flavor at all (raw distillate). Most of these products can be consumed quite discreetly.

Hashish – The oldest form of cannabis extract and is referenced in texts that are over 1,000 years old. This extraction method uses hand agitation to break open trichomes and collect the resin inside. There are multiple techniques to achieve this. One method calls for breaking the buds by hand and rubbing them between the fingers. The resins will accumulate on the hash makers hands. Once enough has accumulated, the hashish is scraped together and pressed into bricks or balls. Hashish is a half melt product with potency ranging from 30-70% THC.

Concentrates and high potency oils are extracted from cannabis buds, trim, and sugar leaves using physical and/or chemical techniques. These products can range in color from yellow to golden to brown or amber. The highest purity concentrates (full melt) can be vaporized in a pen or dabbed, while less pure forms (half-

The following is a guide to introduce consumers to the various types of products available and how they are made. It is important to note that the terms solvent free, non-solvent, and solventless can carry a wide variety of meanings since there is no industry standard for this terminology. Understanding the products and how they are made can help consumers understand what is available so they can make the appropriate choice. NATURAL EXTRACTIONS: Natural extracts use tools like sieves, screens, and temperature to isolate the resins within the plant. No solvents are used in the processing of these concentrates. Kief, dry sift, rosin, water/ice hash, and hashish are forms of natural extracts.

Kief – The accumulation of small particles and trichomes that fall off a bud. Kief can be collected using screens like that on the bottom of a multi-chamber grinder. Kief is considered a half-melt and potency typically ranges from 20-60% THC. Dry Sift - An extremely pure form of kief obtained by sieving the plant material through a series of screens until only the trichome heads remain. Dry sift is a full melt product that can produce a potency over 90% THC, if well-made. Rosin – Oils are removed from plant material using only heat and pressure. Rosin has become one of the most popular forms of concentrate as it can be made at home with certain hair straighteners. The major draw towards rosin is that it is made without any solvents, the process is easy to understand, and the flavor profile is preserved quite well. Rosin is a full melt product with potency ranging from 60-90%

DISTILLATES: Molecular distillation is the process used to produce distillate. Distillation is one of the newer extraction methods on the market and is becoming increasingly popular in vape cartridges and for infusing edibles. This process is a way to refine concentrates such as BHO, CO2 oil, or rosin to isolate a single compound. THC is most often the desired distillate product, but CBD is also isolated from hemp extract using this technique. Heat is applied to the starting material until it is hot enough to vaporize the THC (or CBD). As the THC vaporizes, it rises and is then cooled. The cooled THC can then be caught in a separate flask. This recaptured THC is fully activated and can be exceptionally pure. Raw distillate has almost no detectable flavors or smells since all terpenes are removed during this process. Natural and artificial flavors can be reintroduced to the distillate. Distillates normally look like a thick, yellow honey and are packaged in a vape cartridge, syringe, or into a dish. They can be eaten, vaporized, dabbed, or applied topically. Distillate is a full melt concentrate with potencies ranging from 75% to over 95%. Water/Bubble Hash â&#x20AC;&#x201C; This form of extraction utilizes cold water and agitation to remove the resin glands from plant material. In many cases, whole plants are submerged into an ice bath and stirred. After the trichomes have been removed from the plant, the water and trichomes are poured through a series of screens. The water passes through and the bubble hash is left behind. Bubble hash can come in many varieties and qualities. Bubble hash can be full melt or half melt depending on screen size and technique. THC levels can range from 25-85%. SOLVENT BASED EXTRACTIONS: A solvent is a liquid that has the ability to dissolve another substance. Solvent-based extractions are a highly efficient way to separate cannabinoids and terpenes from cannabis. Solvent-based extractions dissolve cannabinoids and terpenes, and post-extraction refinement steps such as straining and purging are used to further remove plant material and extraction solvents. Potency and terpene content can widely vary for these products, although they are all full melt concentrates. Potency can range from 40-99% while total terpenes can be concentrated to levels as high as 30%.

It is clear that the world of concentrates is complicated and full of a wide variety of products. Each form of extraction has its pros and cons so understanding how they are made can make it easier to assess which is best for you. If you are unsure, vape pens are a great starter concentrate because the cartridges regulate the amount inhaled during each pull and they do not require buying any additional paraphernalia. When used properly, extracts can deliver a powerful dose of medicine or bring you into a state of euphoria. These products are very potent and a small amount goes a long way. Extracts can be a fun new product to explore but be sure to enjoy cannabis concentrate products responsibly. For more information about Ace Analytical, visit aceanalytical.com.

Hydrocarbon Solvent Based Extracts - Hydrocarbons are molecules made of hydrogen and carbon. They are the base for most fossil fuels. Butane, propane, and ethanol are the most commonly used hydrocarbon solvents in cannabis extraction. Many people worry about the dangers of ingesting these solvents, but testing regulations in Nevada ensure that no product is released for sale if it does not pass stringent safety testing. A properly purged hydrocarbon extract should not worry consumers as it contains little to no solvent residue. Hydrocarbon extracts are also being used to isolate highly pure THC-a crystals. Non-hydrocarbon Solvent Based Extracts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; In this form of

extraction, carbon dioxide is used as the solvent. By using a highly sophisticated instrument, with precise heat and pressure, CO2 can dissolve the oils and remove them from the plant material. Some prefer this method over hydrocarbon based extracts because CO2 will purge itself from the product easily. CO2 oils are often put into vape cartridges or added to edibles.

WHAT's IN A NAME? CANNABIS STRAIN AUTHENTICATION & CLASSIFICATION

annabis has emerged from the black market with a lack of horticultural or agronomic standardized naming conventions. Instead, the use of acronyms and nonstandard abbreviations has made it increasingly difficult to have confidence about what is on the market and to make effective comparisons and has created additional uncertainty over the ability to trademark or patent strains. Why does this matter? How can a cannabis strain authentication and classification system be created? The first step toward authenticating cannabis cultivation would be to throw out the tradition of “strain” naming and replace it with the agronomic and horticultural convention of “cultivar” names. While plant varieties often occur in nature and breed true, cultivars are selected and cultivated by humans and usually must be propagated vegetatively for true-to-type clones. For example, the strain Blue Dream would become the cultivar Cannabis sativa cv. Blue Dream. The second step would be to associate a referenced chemotype and genotype with Cannabis sativa cv. Blue Dream. The combination of the Blue Dream cultivar name with its chemotype and referenced genotype would authenticate it. Coming in line with agronomic standards would help promote the legitimacy of the cannabis industry. In addition, consumers are willing to pay a premium for genotyped, authenticated flower. Various efforts have been underway toward classification schemes based on chemotypic data for cannabis that are currently being practiced—for example Leafly’s strain tiles, David Schacter’s Cannabis scope, Ethan Russo and Mark Lewis’ Phyto Facts that lead them to propose and describe three major “chemovar” superclasses based on phyto cannabinoid and terpene content to enable patients to easily visually distinguish particular attributes for optimal therapeutic impact. And genotypic-centric efforts at cannabis phylogeny are also underway by several groups including Phylos Galaxy, Medicinal Genomics’ Kannapaedia, and various academic groups including

those of Johnathan Page and Nolan Kane. Both approaches— chemotypic and genotypic—are aimed to give cannabis consumers more confidence in what they are purchasing. What is now on the horizon is a classification approach using both chemoprofiling and gene profiling tied down to a formal registry of cannabis cultivars. Because of federal restrictions, the cultivar registry would have to be managed on a state-by-state basis. All stakeholders should participate, from growers to state departments of agriculture to scientists actively working in this area. State regulatory agencies will need to be active participants in creating and overseeing a cannabis registration. There are hopeful signs from the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies (AOSCA) with their interest in forming a varietal hemp working group. The main barrier will be changing human behavior, given that cannabis variants have been introduced, named, and hybridized at will until now. I think the motivating event for adoption of a new nomenclature will occur in California, where recreational cannabis comes online in 2018. California will be the largest cannabis recreational market in the biggest agricultural economy in the United States. Cannabis cultivation will mature rapidly and a cannabis registry will be one important part of that process as the industry rapidly evolves toward big agriculture versus boutique cannabis growers; in both instances, cannabis cultivar authentication will be the key to success and keeping market share. We do not have a complete assemblage of the genes involved in what we believe are the pertinent pathways that contribute to the pharmacological activities of cannabis, nor do we have a complete picture of the human genetic variants that contribute to a therapeutic outcome. We can look to established agricultural commodity industries as models to see how new research findings, such as elucidating terpene pathways in the case of cannabis, or introduction of pest-resistance in the case of wheat, can easily be incorporated, lead to registration of a new cultivar, and only strengthen the

intellectual property position of specific cultivars. Marketing and branding will require a more reliable experience or therapeutic outcome, and, therefore, tighter controls on authenticating what is actually being grown and processed. Although a lot of information has been gathered by various cannabis labs and groups, because of the lack of standardization in analytical methods used to collect chemo profile data, one can never be fully confident with a cross analyses. Likewise, because of non-standardized sequencing approaches in genotyping, not all genetic sequence data are comparable. The reality is that a cultivar classification system or registry could serve as a framework or point of reference so that Blue Dream grown in Boston could be compared to Blue Dream grown in California. Cannabis cultivar registration would ideally require full sequencing and chemo profile data for the given cultivation technique. The registry would also serve the purpose of preventing the re-use of an already registered cultivar name.

sitting on the full sized bed we had moved to the living room weeks prior. It now served as the couch. His new bed was one of those rented hospital versions. It served his needs better now. Aliya sat cross-legged, her head down, knitting yet another hat for him. He was always cold. I stood in the small kitchen waiting for the grapeseed oil I had just poured into the cast iron skillet to shimmer indicating it was hot enough. Cut up chicken had been marinating in a buttermilk bath overnight, a mixture of dried herbs and spices merrily swimming in the tangy milk anticipating their future as supporting cast in this special meal. Steamed Yukon Golds sat at the ready in a large mixing bowl awaiting their mashing with more of the reserved milk. Onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper a good dollop of sour cream would be added to the potatoes making for the richest and creamiest of side dishes. He’s loved mashed potatoes since he was a baby. There was a jar of commercially prepared gravy sitting on the counter. A blatant indication of my inability to make gravy that doesn’t separate. A crisp green salad was chopped, tossed and wrapped, chilling in the fridge. He asked me to prepare this selection of comfort foods the day before. I pointed out digesting such a heavy meal would be nearly impossible considering his current state of health. But his heartfelt plea, accentuated by the look in those big brown eyes, expressed such desire, my logic faded. So I conceded. I wondered, as I moved pieces of chicken from tins of dry, wet, dry to the now hot oil, if my brother held the same fond food memory I did. As children, our father instigated several days dedicated to the picking, slicing, pitting and drying of apricots. At the end of these

long days we were rewarded with a meal of KFC. Our entire family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, reveled in this take-out feast of soggy fried chicken, one dimensional mashed potatoes, fluffy, air-like biscuits and too smooth gravy. But after a day of sweat, hard work and downright fun, this ending was always looked forward to and was always delicious. I never got around to asking Lawrence, but figured the memory must’ve dwelled somewhere inside him, as it did within me. As grown adults he was the healthiest among us. Lawrence held the most sensible approach to eating. He applied little if any dressing to his salads. Ate only steel cut oats with lots of nuts and fresh fruit mixed in for breakfast. Drank no alcohol and nary a piece of candy or dessert touched his lips. He consumed very little fat but rather ate tons of vegetables. So why was he the one struck with cancer? My siblings and I, regularly consumed pounds of sugar, plenty of carbs, an abundance of bad fats and me, the worst, with my go-to dinner of wine and M & M’s. If food really is medicine, why were we spared while my little brother suffered the inconvenience of cancer? How is it, the one who ate all the right foods, in the right quantities in addition to climbing on his bike to cycle miles upon miles along Skyline and beyond, end up sick? What kind of perfect storm raged undetected until we found ourselves standing behind and beside him as he faced-off chemotherapy, surgeries and more chemo? I still don’t have an answer to that question. But on this particular evening, now in his early 50’s, wheelchair bound with tubes and bags attached to his torso like a makeshift hula skirt, Lawrence puttered in his bathroom whistling a happy tune. It was clear to Mother, Aliya and I, he was eager to partake of a meal prepared just for him. The aromatic scent of chicken frying in hot oil, the sound of thick gravy burping and bubbling on the stove and eye-pleasing biscuits browning in the oven offered each of us a kind of emotional reprieve from the current reality. I had occasionally spent time visiting and helping my brother in months prior to this evening. But during the last three months of his life, I became a more prominent fixture in this gladiator’s arena in his fight against cancer. Between changing bags, physical therapy, doctor’s visits, errands and cooking, our days were very, very busy. However, by five o’clock each evening, my brother would wheel himself from his favoured spot, in front of the fireplace (an effort to warm his chilled bones) to a corner window and partake of his preferred medicine, Marijuana. As he gazed out the open window and lit his water pipe, he would call, “It’s time for your wine Webbie.” Webbie, a childhood nickname derived from Debbie when he was a toddler, unable to pronounce Deborah. My parents allowed for Debbie, but evidently, he couldn’t pronounce that either. He would open the window wide, waving his hand encouraging the smoke to wind its way to the street below. He did this to appease the home-visiting doctors, nurses and therapists who made it clear they didn’t condone smoking but understood the medicinal properties marijuana held for Lawrence and others like him. Especially in easing the pain and nausea my brother continuously suffered. That evening as Lawrence made his way to the window, calling out the wine bell for Mother, Aliya and myself, I watched as he inhaled

deeply the herbaceous medicine. By the time Lawrence was finished and secured his pipe back in the cupboard, Mother, Aliya and I had plated up dinner, then gathered together on the bed-couch for a makeshift picnic. Lawrence rolled up alongside us and balancing his plate on his lap, turned on Judge Judy. The four of us commenced eating. Not even the scolding and admonishments from Judge Judy to those poor plaintiffs and defendants could drown out the “mmmm’s and yum’s” emanating from my brother and the others. I smiled from ear to ear, happy I could give my brother something he so wanted. It was a simple and small a gesture on my part but one with grand reward. I think of that night often. Mother can’t talk about it without crying. That night was the last time any of us heard Lawrence whistle. Fast forward almost a year after his passing, it suddenly occurs to me, I could’ve easily done more to ensure my brother’s food really did serve as medicine. I happened to be at a party with some friends. There was a woman I was introduced to whom I discovered went to the same junior college I attended, Foothill Junior College. And, crazy as those meetings can turn out to be, she had heard of me, but not as Deborah Viariseo rather as Cosmic Muffin (another nickname, given to me for obvious reasons, if you at all know me). Someone standing nearby overheard our conversation and laughed then teasingly asked, “So what kind of muffins were you cooking up?” That’s when it happened.

Bells went off in my head, lights, bells, and sirens, all of it. How could I not have thought to do that for Lawrence? Of course, back in those college days, I’d thrown half a “lid” into a package of dry brownie mix, added oil, water and an egg, then baked the mixture up according to package directions. I carefully frosted them with chocolate icing then dotted each brownie with an M & M so people would know they were “laced.” This was my signature contribution to many a college party. Those days were long gone, and it hadn’t occurred to me to cook with cannabis since. But in that moment, with the strobe light of ideas going off in my head, it was as if Lawrence were there asking me from wherever he was; “Yeah, what about those muffins?”

I PREFER TO FOCUS ON INFUSING FOODS THAT DO A BODY GOOD. For over three years now I have been experimenting and honing my skills as a Chef of Healing Foods. Taking cues from my brother, I prefer to focus on infusing foods that do a body good. Not just brownies, Rice Krispie treats, cookies and candies. Instead, I do my best to infuse foods that are healthy, more savory in nature. I prepare gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, and of course, fried chicken. Whatever type of food is needed by those who have decided to integrate holistic medicine with traditional treatments. People who, like Lawrence, are suffering debilitating diseases, chronic pain or other maladies inhibiting their ability to fully think and function under conditions they are told is the “new normal.” It has been my experience during recent years, as I prepare a variety of infused foods, how much good ingesting medical marijuana can do. From providing temporary pain relief in the form of a balm to reducing more severe pain from surgery and illness, bringing it to a level that is at least tolerable. Ingesting medical marijuana means no smoke in their lungs or the environment they spend their time in and seems to do a better job in alleviating nausea while increasing appetites. Many are already familiar with the famous Charlotte’s Web a hybrid strain created to reduce seizures in a young child. It is this same medicine that when ingested in the form of food can help with insomnia, allowing much needed sleep to sweep into their ailing bodies. And let’s not forget the added dose of joy certain strains of medical marijuana can provide, juxtaposing a kind of paradigm shift in the mind and therefore the spirit by inducing a chuckle or two. Laughter, a nearly forgotten response for many and their caregivers. How I wish I’d thought to do this for Lawrence when he was here. Instead I do it for others. Because I know for certain; Food Really Is Medicine.

COSMIC MUFFIN’S INFUSED FRIED CHICKEN INGREDIENTS FOR SEASONING:

* you should yield: 1- 1 ½ cups of this mixture • • • • • • • •

2 Tbsp cayenne pepper 6 Tbsp granulated garlic (not garlic salt) 3 Tbsp paprika 3 Tbsp onion powder 3 Tbsp Keif 2 Tbsp dark brown sugar 2 Tbsp kosher salt 1 Tbsp cracked pepper

INGREDIENTS FOR MARINADE • • • • • • • • • • • • •

1 4 lb. whole chicken, cut into 8-10 pieces 4 cups buttermilk – separated 2 Tbsp Frank’s Hot Sauce 1 cup or bottle of dark beer - divided ¼ cup of the Seasoning recipe (above) Ingredients for Dredging Flour 2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour ¼ cup of the Seasoning recipe (above) Ingredients for Wet Mixture 1 large or jumbo egg 1 tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda 1 Tbsp mustard

INGREDIENTS FOR SEASONING: • ½ cup of Seasoning Recipe (above) • 1 cup of reserved infused frying oil • Kosher salt to taste

PROCESS: In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients for Chicken Seasoning, mixing well. Set aside. In a very large bowl, combine 3 cups of the buttermilk, hot sauce, ½ the beer and seasoning mix. Add chicken, making sure chicken pieces are completely submerged. Cover and place in fridge at least 4 hours or overnight. When chicken has done marinating, begin by placing a wire rack over a sheet pan, then set chicken pieces on rack to drain. Meanwhile, whisk together flour and seasoning mix in a cake or pie pan. In a separate cake or pie pan, whisk together the remaining 1 cup of buttermilk, the other half of the beer, egg, baking powder, baking soda and mustard. In a heavy cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, over medium heat, add about 2 inches of infused oil and heat to about 350 degrees. Begin by dipping the chicken pieces, one at a time, into the flour mixture, coating all sides, then into the egg mixture. Shake off excess then place chicken, skin down first, into hot oil. Do not overcrowd the skillet/pot. Fry chicken until a rich brown crust has developed before turning, about 15-20 minutes per side. If your pot/pan is too small to hold all the chicken, allow the oil to heat back up to 350 degrees before adding next batch. While chicken is cooking, add about 1 cup of the frying oil to what’s left of the seasoning mixture and whisk until smooth (this is your glaze). Transfer fried chicken pieces to a clean cooling rack, set over a sheet pan and brush with prepared glaze. Sprinkle chicken, while still hot, with a sprinkling of salt and serve hot or at room temperature. Makes 8-10 Servings: Approx. 35 mg THC per serving.

insurance MARIJUANA BUSINESS

Yes, you can insure your business!

>>>

BY DALE A. DISKANT CORINTHIAN CAPITAL

Welcome to part two of the three-part article on insurance and the marijuana industry. As mentioned in the previous article, the approved classes for marijuana business insurance are: cultivators (indoor, greenhouse and outdoor operations), manufacturers of goods and equipment, wholesalers and brokers, retail operations, laboratories, property managers, landlords, schools, and transportation and delivery. There are several different types of business insurance but for most businesses, it always starts with your general liability policy. General liability insurance is priced mainly by 3 factors, square footage of your operation, payroll and gross receipts. Yes, how much you make is a determining factor in your general liability quote. Now, in speaking with many people when I get to this topic I sometimes get “this conversation is over” or people just hang up on me. Welcome to legitimate business. There are two people you need to level with in regards to how much your company makes, your accountant and your insurance broker. If the numbers are not correct, then you are going to be underinsured. All of the information you give to your insurance broker is strictly confidential. Insurance companies go to great lengths to keep it that way. We, the brokers,

must take approved classes on privacy, ethics and anti-money laundering every 2 years. This requirement differs from state to state, but California, Florida and New York are the stiffest. Keep in mind the reason that you need to purchase insurance - IF YOU GET WIPED OUT, YOU COULD LOSE EVERYTHING! Insurance will make you whole again, but the numbers have to be right. And, for you first time business insurance buyers, there is an audit at the end of your policy year. For example, if you estimate on your initial application that you will do 5 million in sales for the year and at the end of the year the audit finds that you did 8 million in sales, you are going to get a bill from the insurance company for the difference in premium between the 5 million and the 8 million dollar revenue amounts. Also, during underwriting there will be a physical inspection of your business by an independent inspector who is hired by the insurance company to see if what we listed on the application is accurate. Why? If you put a down payment or premium payment for a few hundred dollars and then have a legitimate claim the very next day, the insurance company could be on the hook for $1,000,000. This is why your application needs to be complete and accurate. If the insurance company accepts the application they agree to cover you and pay any claims according to the contract. Yes, insurance is contract. Once issued, you can have your attorney review it if you like. And if your attorney has any problem with

it you have a “review” period in which you can unwind it without penalty. If you cancel a policy mid-year it may have a cancellation charge. The audit is the same for workers’ compensation insurance. If you hire more people during the year and your payroll turns out to be more, you may get a bill. Marijuana business insurance is really not much different than insurance for other businesses. The difference now is that the underwriters (the folks that determine eligibility and pricing) know who you are, exactly what your business does and they are willing to cover you. General liability is normally the foundation for your accompanying products like product liability, crop, transportation and property. This means you would need to buy the general liability along with any other policy. There are some policies but very few that are stand-alone like some product liability. Workers’ compensation can be a standalone policy you can get now if you already have a general liability policy. It is important to get your insurance quoted as soon as possible. Currently, the industry is taking two weeks just to get a preliminary quote out. When it becomes mandatory it’s going to take much longer so don’t wait, get insured now! One thing you will be glad to know is that your business insurance is tax deductible in most cases. Yes, many things in a marijuana business are not deductible

but your business insurance is. For additional questions regarding deductible insurance premiums, please contact Tax Defense Partners at 866TAX DEFENSE. In closing, I just want to address the sceptics that don’t truly believe a marijuana insurance policy will pay a claim. According to Mike Aberle, Sr. Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Next Wave Insurance Services, LLC, and a true pioneer in marijuana insurance, “Claims have been paid to marijuana businesses since their inception over ten years ago.” Mike does warn however about getting the right insurance. Read the exclusions, every policy has them. They may be excluding the very thing you bought the insurance for. I hope this was informative. Look for part three of this article next month.

Dab Tech Nectar Shower

ROKIN LIGHTENING DISPOSABLE VAPE PEN I actually filled up the the disposable Rokin Lightning stick before I cracked open the Nitro. I was blown away that I actually respected it, let alone, enjoyed it. If you dab like I do, you understand my low expectations for a low cost disposable wax pen, when your half-grams cost $20-$30 bucks. Plus, I could just take a dab before I had to head out somewhere. My skepticism however was unwarranted, because I absolutely love these little dab pens. Confidently pack up your most exquisite sauce, sugar, wax, crumble, krumble, budder, badder, or whatever else you hold precious, cuz this is no rickety stickity. You’re not going to waste a damned thing. You’re gonna taste every bit of that top shelf you cherish in your medicine kit. Sure, the single-coil, heating element can get a little warm... but that’s because I hit this shit like a champ. If you take moderate hits, your Lightning batteries should last for about 600 hits. Don’t actually count out loud there big guy, that takes away everyone’s high. Shhh. Just load it up again. RokinVapes.com

The History of Cannabis

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> By Jennifer Shepherd, RN The use of medical cannabis dates back to 2900 BC and Chinese Emperor Shen Nung. Prior to that, hemp and cannabis were stated to be used for food and textiles. Ancient Chinese texts cite cannabis was used for treatment in over a hundred ailments including malaria, rheumatism, constipation, absent-mindedness, and menstrual cramps, as well as others. In ancient India cannabis was valued as a way to lower fevers and relieve dysentery and is even said to be the treatment for leprosy and was seen by some as a gift from the Gods. In 1762, Virginia awarded bounties for hemp culture and manufacture and imposed penalties on those who did not produce it. Throughout the colonial period, hemp fiber was an important export, not for its intoxicating effects but for its fibers that are exceptionally strong and durable, making this a commodity worth growing. In 1842, Dr. William O'Shaughnessy, an army surgeon who had been stationed in India is rumored to have treated Queen Victoria with the use of edible cannabis for menstrual cramps, which by then was widely used for a variety of ailments, including muscle spasms, rheumatism, and the convulsions of tetanus, rabies and epilepsy; it was also used to promote uterine contractions in childbirth and as a sedative to induce sleep.

In the 1840s in the western world of medicine, French psychiatrist Dr. Jacques-Joseph Moreau introduced cannabis for suppression of headaches, increased appetite, and sleep. In 1850, cannabis sativa and cannabis indica were added to the United States Pharmacopeia and listed as a treatment for numerous ailments, including neuralgia, tetanus, typhus, cholera, rabies, dysentery, alcoholism, opiate addiction, anthrax, leprosy, incontinence, gout, convulsive disorders, tonsillitis, insanity, excessive menstrual bleeding, and uterine bleeding, among others. At that time, patented marijuana tinctures were manufactured and sold. Prior to World War I, pharmaceutical supplies of cannabis sativa and cannabis indica were entirely imported from India (occasionally Madagascar) in accordance with the U.S. Pharmacopeia, which specified that it came from flowering tops (nugs, grade A, premium cannabis) of the Indian variety. In 1913, the U.S. Department of Agriculture Bureau of Plant Industry had figured out how to produce what was considered pharmaceutical grade cannabis of equal quality to the Indian variety. When World War I interrupted foreign supplies, the United States was self-sufficient in cannabis manufacturing, and by 1918 some 60,000 pounds were being produced annually, all from pharmaceutical farms east of the Mississippi. Harry Jacob Anslinger who served as the first commissioner of the U.S. Treasury Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Federal Bureau of Narcotics and coined the term marijuana enforced the Marihuana [sic] Tax Act of 1937. Propaganda like reefer madness assisted with the illegalization of cannabis, which caused it to be removed from the U.S. Pharmacopeia in

EDUCATION & HEALTH 1942. The American Medical Association opposed both the tax act and illegalization and testified before Congress that nearly a hundred years of medical experience in the U.S. had demonstrated an irreplaceable therapeutic role for cannabis. The 1970s Controlled Substances Act placed marijuana as a Schedule 1 substance along with heroin. The International Organization for Migration, American Medical Association, and American College of Physicians opposed this decision. The United States acquired U.S. Patent 6630507 on October 7, 2013, which states: “Cannabinoids have been found to have antioxidant and neuroprotectant properties useful in the treatment and prophylaxis of a wide variety of oxidation associated diseases, such as: ischemic (stroke), age-related diseases, inflammatory, autoimmune diseases, and found to have particular application as neuroprotectants: limiting neurological damage following ischemic incident (stroke) or trauma, and in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.”

inoids and our great state of Nevada has allowed for adult usage, the federal law still has this listed as one of the most dangerous drugs even though anecdotal evidence acquired shows that this plant is one of the safest substances used to assist in pain relief, nausea, and other ailments. There is said to be over a hundred cannabinoids and two hundred terpenes found within cannabis, all having medical value. Data being collected through testing labs is growing and about twelve cannabinoids and about twenty-two terpenes are being tested, which means we are actually just scratching the surface as to what this plant can actually do.

>>> SPOTLIGHT: ONAC oklevueha native american church greater los angeles

The Oklevueha Native American Church is dedicated to the research and study of sacraments, including cannabis in efforts to increase awareness of the medicinal benefits and to bring together their new and old worlds. According to Rick Liles, “ONAC is a religious organization, and we believe in the Creator and Mother Earth with all she

provides as far as natural healing. Once a member of ONAC, patients are able to be treated without interference from the government since treatments are provided as a sacrament.” Oklevueha Native American Church of Greater Los Angeles is one of over 200 branches within the ONAC community. What sets this branch apart, is the work that their president, Christopher Hulliger along with Vice President, Anton Broadhurst, and Rick Liles, Operations Manager and Lab Technician have been doing on the development of a proprietary, nano-sized intramuscular, injectable CBD oil derived from a full spectrum extract of the hemp plant as a natural, organic alternative to pharmaceutical medicines. This oil is also available as a sublingual and as an eardrop and the nano precision is what makes it superior to other CBD products. The Oklevueha Native American Church of Greater Los Angeles’ mission is to develop and introduce into the healthcare markets this one-of-a-kind formula. Recently, ONAC-GLA established a secondary branch, ONAC-ES, based out of Delaware. Both ONAC-GLA and ONAC-ES are research and development branches. Since their efforts are focused on this research and providing medicine to members, the Church does not currently hold any ceremonies, talks, or drum circles. Members are not required to be of Native American descent and the lifetime membership cost is $100. Currently, only members of the Church are able to be treated with the proprietary, whole plant hemp formula. Christopher Hulliger has been forming the foundation of ONAC-GLA’s mission for over a decade. He collaborated with other doctors,

TOKIN' WITH THE INFAMOUS: CHUCKY CHUCK AKA MR. DGAF BY HOPPER THE CHRONISSEUR called Paragon 4. The way it’s treated, there’s no chemicals. The taste, the high; it’s just really clean weed. Hopper: This is the SDGG we’re tokin’ on now, it’s a Gorilla Glue #4 done out of San Diego by the home team, GLC. What’s your take on it? Chucky Chuck: It’s smooth! And I’m an indica lover. This is a sativa though, right? Hopper: Yeah, it’s a sativa dominant hybrid that hits like an indica. Chucky Chuck: I’m sitting here on the couch right now and my heart is going fast, but I’m sunk back and relaxed. It’s a crazy high. Fifteen years deep in the underground rap game, Chucky Chuck has a lot to say about the past, the present, and the future, so I’m gonna keep the intro on this one short and let him speak for himself. I’ve known Chucky for 15 years, it was great to catch up at the Sour Glass headquarters and talk about all the good times we had on the road, hear about everything he’s doing now, and of course, we smoked a ridiculous amount weed. Hopper: What’s up, Chucky Chuck? It’s been too long, brother! What’s new with you? Chucky Chuck: Too long, indeed. It’s been good, and it’s way better now to be in your presence. I’m working on my new record, my solo thing. Doing my own record label, everything 100% independent. Still keepin’ it DGAF. Hopper: For anyone who hasn’t heard your music, or seen you live, tell them what to expect. Chucky Chuck: I get put in

the realm of other styles of music, but I’d say it’s kinda like white boy gangster rap, with a little bit of punk rock influence, just in your face, talking shit, battle rap. Hopper: We’re really talkin’ now. I remember the first time we met, you were throwin’ freestyle like it was nothing. Chucky Chuck: That’s what it was, yeah. You were on the first tour I ever was on, you were the tour manager in 2002, the Rollin’ Stoned tour with Kottonmouth Kings. That’s when I saw the other side of music- the live performances. I was always scared to do that. Then I got the chance to do it, after that I wasn’t scared. I love to perform live. I’d rather do live performance than even record. If I did as much recording as I’ve done live shows, I’d have five, six, seven albums. Hopper: When you’re not rappin’ or smokin’ weed, what else do you do? Chucky Chuck: I just like to have fun, I love the beach.

I love spending time with my son. I have a passion for riding dirt bikes, but I don’t get to do it enough. Spending time with my lady. This might sound corny, but we just got deluxe passes to Disneyland, so I’m looking forward to doing fun stuff like that. Hopper: We’re here at the Sour headquarters, surrounded by all this dope glass. What’s your favorite way to smoke? Chucky Chuck: I’ve always been a huge fan of bong rips, because it’s straight to the head and you get your fade on super-fast. As I get older, it’s harder to take bigger rips. You’d think after 20 plus years of smoking, I could take the biggest bong hit and just snap it, and not choke. I just can’t do it like that anymore. Hopper: What strains are you diggin’ these days? Chucky Chuck: There’s this company, they do everything natural. It’s all like vegan weed. I think it’s

Hopper: We spent a lot of time on the road, and I always knew I could count on you. You were like a right hand. Do you have a favorite tour story? Chucky Chuck: Dude, when it comes to you, aka the coolest tour manager of all time, if you wanna break down some history, it goes back to the beginning of 2002, the Rollin’ Stoned tour. This is my favorite tour story- It was me, you, and Gillies in the back of a big ‘ol Budget van with all of the equipment, going from San Diego to Ventura. Hopper: Oh shit, I remember that one! It was a quick little one-off show, so we didn’t have the bus. Chucky Chuck: We had an all-nighter after the San Diego show. You were like, “Chucky, Gillies, we’re riding in the back.” We had a bottle of Jack Daniels and a half pack of smokes, and like two grams of weed, and we hopped back there and slept on the merch, and held speakers and rode all the way. We get to the venue and they’re like, “Where’s your

tour manager?” They pulled up the roll up door on the back of the Budget, and we’re like… he’s right here, as smoke is billowing out of the back and we roll out half asleep. Hopper: That was an early, rough morning. But hey, whatever it takes to get the job done. That’s what we did. That Ventura show was dope! Chucky Chuck: That’s when I knew you were a real person, because the music that people were portraying- the alcohol, pothead, stoner wreaking havoc, kickin’ in doors, bong hits in your face, that’s what it was. I thought it was awesome, but other people weren’t too pumped on it! It was like, wait a minute…you’re the dudes promoting this and you’re telling us not to act like that. I don’t get it. Hopper: I called it organized chaos. I wanted the kids to have fun at shows. You’re known as Mr. DGAF, tell me some of the things you do give a fuck about. Chucky Chuck: When DGAF first started, it was a one man army. Everyone was like, “Oh there’s Chucky Chuck, he don’t give a fuck.” At the same time, it’s a walking contradiction. You don’t give a fuck about a lot of things, but then the other side is that you do give a fuck. DGAF, as is ‘Do Give A Fuck’. It’s all in moderation. I wouldn’t be doing this interview if I really didn’t give a fuck about anything. I give a fuck a lot about living and being alive, friends, family. In 2008, when the DGAF album came out, that same month, I had a son. My mom was like, “DGAF doesn’t stand for that anymore. It stands for Damn Good At Fatherhood.” Hopper: Props to your Mom, that’s dope! Chucky Chuck: We still live the moniker, we get faded and do our thing, but we have responsibilities as parents, and as human beings. Everyone has

to be respectful. There’s levels to this shit. I say it’s DGAF to a certain extent. Hopper: I don’t want to dwell in the past, but people do want to know what happened with Kottonmouth Kings. The whole situation was so disappointing. Chucky Chuck: It’s a touchy subject. My buddy Gillies hit the nail on the head when he said it was like when parents separate, and the kids have to choose. My aspect was blind loyalty on one side, so I didn’t do too much research into what actually happened. I was taught that you roll with who you’re with and if shit goes wrong, you stick with those people. Come to find out, it was a blind loyalty. What I gather with them is that there was some kind of business dispute and they went their own ways due to drugs, other substances besides marijuana that got in people's systems and it affected the way they think and organize work. They (KMK) started a new label, and I was grateful to be part of it, to be part of that legacy. The way that things went down though, I’m very disappointed too. After the dust settled, people’s true colors shined through. It is what it is I guess. Shout out to Matt Hall for really puttin’ me on game, and respect to Kevin Zinger for what he’s always had going on. Hopper: Zinger, he brought me in and has never led me astray. He doesn’t do people dirty. Chucky Chuck: Kottonmouth’s side, come to find out, was really dirty. Money comes with a lot of baggage and greed. Hopper: Let’s change gears and get back to some positivity. I saw you on B-Real’s The Smokebox awhile back. He asked about the best strains, and you popped your head between the seats and said, “Bring back the Kingsblend”. Chucky Chuck: Oh yeah, yeah!

Hopper: So, it took awhile to collect the right genetics and get the seeds to recreate the original, but I have great news. It’s almost here, and I can’t wait to get it in your lungs. The cross has been done, the pheno find is on right now. I gotta shout out Kandyman- I had him do the breeding, he has the facility to do it. Now, once we find the female, we’re gonna stabilize it, and….I’ll shut up with the plug now. Ha! Chucky Chuck: Trip out on this, coming from the kid in the back seat, I never even got to try the Kingsblend. To me, it was a myth, a legend. It was before the era I came around the boys (KMK). The Kingsblend song was dope as fuck. The whole theory of Cannabis Cup was crazy then. The only place you could smoke like that was in Amsterdam. Hopper: Or on the bus! Chucky Chuck: This was before Wiz Khalifa and Snoop Dogg were famous for smoking weed. You guys were fucking the king of the crop, doing that shit. I just saw a chance, even though I never smoked it, it was a hype to bring the buzz up and get it, and try it. Hopper: What’s up next for you? You’ve been in Vegas a lot lately. Chucky Chuck: Yeah, I have the 710 Fest out there with the Analog Brothers, Tash from Tha Liks, there’s gonna be like thirty acts. I’ve been out there a lot. Getting tatted, havin’ a good time, doing all kinds of stuff. Hopper: You’ve been doing a lot of cannabis events everywhere. Chucky Chuck: Yeah, I was at CHAMPS, Highlife Festivals, and Seattle Hempfest this year. I’m finally able to work on my own, with my own music and I am starting my own company called Henchlord, which we got the patent in on. Keeping it 100% independent. The hardest thing as an artist is adjusting to

this digital era of music where there’s not physical copies. It’s all on your phone, it’s all downloads. With that comes the brand and the clothing, the touring. I have the YouTube channel and I am putting new stuff up on that. Hopper: You had the Chucky Chuck Show for a bit, I really dug it. Chucky Chuck: Yeah, but once again, it was in other people’s hands. It had to be on their time and what they wanted to do. So like, just being myself and doing my stuff and keeping it respectful throughout my career, I still have a lot of connections like yourself, and other people in the weed community, the rap community, the punk community, dirt bikers, skateboarders, surfers. I can reach out to those people, and network the lifestyle. Hopper: That’s dope brother Before we go, do you wanna throw any shout outs? Chucky Chuck: Definitely a shout out to my Mom. My lady, Raquel Reynolds, go follow her on IG. DGAF, South Bay, Redondo Beach, Lost Boy Farms, all my cats right there. Just everyone who’s stayed down for this little scrub who is still pushing it along in the underground twenty years deep. Shout out to you, Hopper. So stoked to be reconnected. Thank you Coastal Cannabis Magazine. All the cannabis freedom fighters. One day I’ll be able to light up in front of a cop, and that’s gonna be amazing. Thanks to Big John Sour for the new bong, and GLC for the SDGG, it’s gonna be a smooth ride home.

I dumped my Cherry Syrup in a small Slurpee and slurped it all down. After the brain freeze faded away, I was pleased to feel myself faded this way.

I'm on Saturn today. Screw it! Total THC- 150mg

SATURN Grape Cannabis Syrup

For those who prefer grape flavored Saturn Syrup, sorry there is no Grape Slurpee. I recommend this Saturn Grape Cannabis Syrup over a tall glass of ice and Sierra Mist. Put that in your fist and drink it, or I'll find that Battleship and sink it. I wrote that shit and made you think it. Total THC- 150mg

LOST EXTRACTS RSO

The most medicinal substance derived from the cannabis plant, is commonly known as Rick Simpson Oil (RSO). Lost Extracts RSO is extracted from the whole cannabis plant, and can be ingested or used as a topical. This is one extract you should not combust or vaporize. That's not what it's for. When eaten, it works on a cellular level by eliminating damaged cells, and promoting replication of only healthy cells. I'm all about it. RSO is the reason the Government should back the fuck up. Support Extracted Cannabis Oil, and the necessary benefits provided to mankind. What is wrong withthe Federal Government? Why repress something that can fight cancer and battle many other terminal illnesses? Why secure copyrighted patents on the very substance you label as a dangerously addictive drug that has no medical significance? Trump that hypocritical fight. Make America unite again! One Gram

TALES FROM THE CRIP:

IS THE TONIC! By Peter Jay

Multiple sclerosis (MS) sucks. You know your idiot roommate’s even-bigger-idiot buddy, the one who shows up late to your party, consumes everything in sight, vomits in your bathtub (the toilet is RIGHT THERE, DICK!) and then will not leave? Yeah, that “even bigger idiot” is MS. I have MS. Take a minute to envy me—I’ll wait.

Now, when I go to buy my meds, the product label tells me everything from terpene counts to what the bud trimmer had for lunch that day!

Multiple sclerosis is a disease of the Central Nervous System (CNS), whereas your immune system gets confused and begins attacking your CNS, consisting of your brain, spinal cord and optic nerves. Imagine SEAL Team 6 going guns-hot on the parts of your body that control your abilities to see, think and move. Do you remember the earlier line about how multiple sclerosis sucks? How is that envy coming along? Fear not, Dear Reader, for this old cripple is far from broken. Bent, maybe; crooked, even more so. My body has absorbed and processed HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of dollars’ worth of various chemicals over the years, all designed to help me fight this disease. I’ve had my immune system ablated (neuro-geek speak for “turned into scorched earth”) on two memorable occasions. I’m actually USED to nurses digging away on the backs of my hands with a needle, trying to start an IV. Sometimes, all you can do is smile! Inflammation is a scourge. It makes ankles swell, heads ache and appendices explode. Inflammation is a huge part of MS—when attacked by your immune system, your CNS responds with inflammation and results in lost function. The best analogy that I can offer is to compare a nerve to a piece of electrical wire: if the wire doesn’t have fucking big holes in it, it works as intended. My wires are FULL of holes (inflamed bits and pieces), and the more inflamed my wires, the less function (walking, manual dexterity, patience) I enjoy.

EDUCATION & HEALTH Photo by Talbot Snow adventure! Muscle relaxers (Soma, Flexeril, Baclofen) do the job about halfway, but leave me with a tendency to drool and stare out the window. If only there existed a natural-yet-unbelievablyeffective substance (a plant, maybe!) whose consumption would stop my traitorous legs from constantly spasming and effect a tranquil humour to my sometimes-challenging existence… For treatment, I prefer flower with a THC percentage of 25% or higher to relax my stiff-assed legs, with as much CBD as I can get my hands on, as the one-two punch of THC + CBD is what rings my cherries. I generally put flame to flower for consumption method; vaping is fine, as are concentrates, but I find combustion allows me to best titrate the dosage for my needs. As always, your mileage may vary.

THE QUESTION, Dear Reader, is clear: how do you stop inflammation? I am fortunate in that I have decent private health insurance, and they have paid dearly for our association. The GOOD news is that I am TOTALLY worth it—in fact, I think they got a pretty tall deal. The fire is out, for now at least, but its relentless burn over the last twenty years has left me a tad jacked up. My legs are my primary complaint, as they are sometimes like mashed potatoes and sometimes like rebar-reinforced concrete—every day is an

Finally, while I am pleased for the recreational marijuana enthusiasts, I cannot help but feel that we medical patients are likely to get hosed. I picked up a half-ounce last week, my first since legalization, and found the price steeper than my last purchase. I gave the budtender my best conspiratorial smile and told him that I was a medical patient. He, in turn, looked equally-conspiratorially over each shoulder…and told me that he hoped I’d feel better soon. This was NOT the response that I was looking for. Just saying. #FuckMS

ENLIGHTENMENT >>> POWERFUL THINGS HAPPEN WHEN YOU MIX YOGA, GANJA, AND INTENSE MEDITATION

Yoganji began her journey about five years ago. In that short time, she has amassed a nice social media following and released Yoganji branded yoga mats, mat cleaner, glass cleaner, stickers and other related products. At first, I was a bit confused, how do you mix yoga and smoking weed? But soon, after watching her video on Instagram it became clear that their are multiple ways to smoke and stretch at the same time! Its amazing, and sometimes scary with glass pieces. If you decide to try any of her advanced Yoganji poses, remember to be careful as glass can break easily.

DUSTIN: What is Yoganji?

BY DUSTIN AMATO

Photos By: Jess Kuiper, ProCannabis Photography

DINELLE: Yoganji is yoga with a ganja twist. Basically consuming cannabis before, after or during yoga. Most of the Yoganji poses I do and feature involve smoking during yoga.

stands in various poses. Lately however, I've been working on my back bending and inversion skills.

DUSTIN: When did you start Yoganji?

DINELLE: I attend various cannabis events such as High Times Cannabis Cups, Secret Cups, Blacklist Sesh, Chalice, etc. Come say high, I usually have stickers for Yoganji followers. If you can't make it out to any of the events you can always follow me on Instagram and Snapchat @ yoganji

DINELLE: I started Yoganji in 2013 which was initially an Instagram account to share my yoga pictures. Eventually it grew to a small business after I received such a large response and people started requesting merchandise. I released my Yoganji mats and products in 2014. DUSTIN: What kind of products do you make? DINELLE: I make an assortment of products such as Yoganji mats, yoga mat cleaner, glass cleaner, bath bombs and recently glass pendants. The Yoganji mats are my main product though, they come in a variety of colors, patterns and thicknesses. DUSTIN: What are some of your favorite Yoganji moves? DINELLE: I really enjoy balancing with my bong. Mostly toe

DUSTIN: Where can people find you?

DUSTIN: Do you teach classes? DINELLE: No, I don't teach classes because I'm not a certified yoga instructor. If you're interested in a ganja friendly class I would highly recommend booking a class with Dee Dussault in San Francisco. She's a really big inspiration. If that's a little out of your way, you can always check online to see when the next cannabis infused gathering near you is. I host small seshes where we stretch and smoke. DUSTIN: What are your favorite strains to do Yoganji with? DINELLE: I prefer to smoke sativa strains in general but especially when I'm doing Yoganji because I usually do it during the day. I love Tangie and Skittlez. Anything from Jah Netics, especially their Jah Cookies for evening Yoganji seshes. Of course I can't forget to slip in some CBD dabs usually

supplied by Top Shelf Extracts. The CBD really helps with achy muscles after a day of intense Yoganji. DUSTIN: What tips do you recommend for beginner Yoganji enthusiasts? DINELLE: Listen to your body, nobody knows it better than you. Do what feels comfortable for you and your body type. Start with something basic like a seated pose and maybe start with a vape pen or joint until you feel more comfortable. DUSTIN: What can we expect from Yoganji in the near future? DINELLE: I'm working on getting in more smoke shops and collaborating with a few different cannabis companies. Also, you can expect to see more Yoganji glass pendants, as I recently started blowing glass. Most Yoganji mat purchases will include a glass gift and/or bath bomb.

8 Ways to Be a Responsible Stoner Parent Responsible Stoner? Not an Oxymoron. The passing of Nevada Marijuana Legalization, Question 2 has given you the right to blaze up for recreational purposes, from the comfort of your own home. Nevada parents rejoice, but only in a private non-showy way, because the legality of marijuana does NOT make you immune to reports to CPS. Just like your guns in Walmart, your right to copious amounts of alcohol, your need to put your kids in beauty pageants; these are rights that I will never fight to take away from you. But one may only enjoy said rights within the confines of community safety. That means no matter how vigorously you want to exercise your right to smoke weed, you may not violate your child’s rights to safety and care. If your neighbor hates you and your plastic toys all over the lawn, and then smells you smoking weed on your back porch, well, a visit from child protective services should not shock you. CPS’ job is to treat reports as credible until investigated. They will want to look at your home and see your children. I imagine it would feel just about as shitty as things can feel. So, here are things to consider and carry out right away if not already. Remember: you cannot abuse marijuana and expect the law or society to consider you a responsible parent.

CHILDREN COME FIRST

Are they unkept, hungry, noticeably neglected? Are they being left alone often while you get high? These are serious no-no’s, and demonstrate to CPS a lack of ability to care for your children. Parental responsibilities are 24/7. That means if kiddo develops a 104 fever in the night you better be damn sure that you can care for them. Never put getting high in front of any child’s needs.

Getting high specifically to handle your kids? Seek help, asap. Therapy, telling your spouse, leaving the kids with a caretaker so you can sleep, beginning a conversation with your doctor. Being a parent is not an illness that the state accepts for medicinal marijuana use, so don’t treat it as such.Never be afraid to ask for help, often, it’s the most responsible thing a parent can do.

KEEP YOUR HOME CLEAN

Squalor and weed odor do not make you look like a good parent to CPS and it’s not good for your kids. Be responsible, keep your home at an acceptable level of cleanliness, and make this a standard across the board for all family members. We’re not talking about perfection here. A clean home means maintaining every family member’s personal hygiene, and maintaining the home in a way that is necessary for health and safety. Demonstrate tidiness and responsibility to your children by putting value and care into the state of your home. I don’t know about you, but my home is my favorite place on earth. My sanctuary from everything, with only the people I love most in it. I demonstrate my love for this sanctuary by keeping its maintenance a high priority. Avoid using cannabis in front of kids. This is a somewhat touchy one, specifically among medical marijuana patients such as myself. It’s hard to advocate dishonesty, especially when far worse things are legally being abused in our country. I also strongly believe that it is a very personal choice that is unique to every family's situation. There are families where a caretaker is extremely ill and relies on medical marijuana for life saving relief. Should those people be hiding their cannabis use? It’s simply not my place to say. For my household, I try to think of it as black and white as I can. Kids mimic. Kids become you. You become your parents. Such is life. The end. If you drink in front of your kids they will likely drink. If you smoke in front of your kids they will likely smoke. If you use marijuana around your kids they will likely use marijuana. When they are the amazing, accomplished, wise and joyful adults that we know they will become, they will be free to make their own choices. But as parents we take special care of them now, when they are young and vulnerable to influence.

COASTALCANNABISMAG.COM

As such I advocate limiting marijuana use around young children to pretty much zero. That does not mean that I am hiding anything.I have given them age appropriate, truthful information about marijuana, but as a rule I do not physically smoke weed in front of them.

ONE PARENT AT A TIME

Children deserve a responsible caretaker at all times, so keep the hotbox sessions with your partner limited to date night. This makes it hotter anyway. CPS frowns on both caretakers of minors being under influence of any intoxicant.

DON’T DRIVE WHEN HIGH

For most parents, including the recreational weed smoker, this makes sense. For a daily medicinal user with tolerance like mine, this may make no sense (if I have a bunch of marijuana in my system, I still am likely not “high”). For someone with a chronic medical condition smoking high CBD strains everyday, it makes even less sense. All of that is for debating in a different article. Because I am writing this piece from a parental advice standpoint, you must understand that there is zero tolerance legally for driving high. It doesn’t matter that you’ve been smoking pot since the 70’s. And driving while stoned with your kids? That will invite an absolute world of misfortune upon you. Never do it.

\\ #CCM \\ COASTAL CANNABIS

As a stoner parent you have far more to lose by loosening personal expectations. I have found that limiting accessibility to your supplies and adhering to personal guidelines for when it is and isn’t okay to use, only increases the effectiveness of your weed medicinally and recreationally. Keep your tolerance at a healthy level and nurture respect for your medicine and recreational practices by eschewing stereotypical stoner behavior. States that have legalized cannabis are given a unique freedom, and thus a role on the world’s stage. Keep Nevada a shining example by practicing safe marijuana use. Your kids will thank you for it, and so will your fellow responsible stoner parent. The Stoner Mom is a boo-boo kissing, classroomvolunteering, perma-stoned, supermom standing next to you at school pickup. Read more about her cannabis journey at thestonermom.com

KEEP YOUR STASH INACCESSIBLE TO CHILDREN

Lock it away, put it up high, whatever. This is responsible cannabis use 101. Lot’s of companies are making security a priority when it comes to cannabis storage. Check out all of the available brands that offer easy, lockable cannabis storage.

RESPECT AND KEEP GOOD RELATIONS WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS

Show your respect to voters on both sides and keep your marijuana use safe and discreet. Using marijuana in public is illegal, and annoying your neighbors with your smoke on their private property is disrespectful. I’m a big fan of not rocking the boat. No child needs to bear witness to community drama because of your pot use. Really. I absolutely cannot stand obnoxious drunks. Other people feel the same way about stoners. Be respectful.

KEEP YOUR STANDARDS HIGH

We all know how easy it is to slip into slovenly behavior, how quickly taking shortcuts can become routine. Being stoned can relax your personal expectations when it comes to rule following. Always revisit your personal standards. Share them with your spouse or co-parent to keep yourself accountable. Remember that the focus for CPS is not to infringe on your rights, but to ensure the environmental health that children live in.

MIKE BRUNSON

THE MIDAS TOUCH LEGENDS ARE OFTEN BORN IN HUMBLE BEGINNINGS Standout entrepreneurs like Caviar Gold’s Mike Brunson provide our industry with motivational stories that not only celebrate how far our community has come, but also pay tribute to the struggles of the past. Our industry, and the business world in general, loves a good underdog story. Caviar Gold represents that in the fullest. Mike Brunson never dreamed that he would be a cannabis CEO with his own swanky recording studio headquarters. Prior to legalization, he was a regular guy in Oklahoma, who in spite of not finishing junior high school, had built his own success as the owner of hardwood flooring distribution and retail companies. An eye for a great deal and a penchant for people skills and collaboration was all it took for everything he touched to start turning gold. “Once, a client came to me looking for an unheard-of deal on a particular type of flooring. After much searching I found it but instead of selling it to him I proposed that we go into business together,” reminisced Mike about one of his many collaborations. “This is someone I barely knew and within weeks we were partnered up and making money together.” As he nailed down more successful ventures, he was always looking for the

next opportunity. Though he had been a longtime consumer, Mike’s cannabis entrepreneurship pipe dream didn’t become a reality until around 2010. On his honeymoon, he and his wife had watched on TV as news channels announced the release of a new Justice Department memo. It stated that the Obama administration would take a neutral position on enforcing federal laws in medical marijuana legalized states. With that, Mike Brunson moved his family to Colorado and began on a series of industry misadventures that would eventually lead to the creation of his famous product: Caviar Gold premium oil-infused cannabis. If you haven’t heard of Caviar Gold brand by now, you likely will soon. The company currently sells in three states, with plans to license and distribute in 30 states by next year. Mike will settle for nothing less than a national takeover and household name recognition. That means that the Caviar Gold name will continue to be on the lips of famous rappers as the luscious concentrated nugs and flavored prerolled joints start taking over the nation, and next, the world - starting with Jamaica and Spain.

The idea of Caviar Gold has been imitated by many over the past few years, especially in the hip-hop scene where customers mostly prefer a premium look and a potent dosage. However, Mike considers his infused nug the original, and for good reason. He invented it with his own hands while attempting to fix a huge problem at one of his first dispensary stores: a 30-pound delivery of White Widow flower that ended up testing at a grand total of about 1% THC. For all intents and purposes, this cannabis was useless. Desperate to get some type of value out of this failed transaction, Mike began teaching himself to make hash oil with alcohol solvent, hoping he’d be able to re-infuse his bunk weed with the significantly more potent oil. That’s when he figured out the art and science of extraction and infusion processes, and sparked the idea that he might actually be onto something with his hash-dipped buds. Though he started out with trash bud, Mike soon implemented a strict policy of using only the highest quality flower in his creations. Caviar Gold uses ultra-premium indoor flower, while Caviar Silver is based on the same quality sun-grown flower. Momentum picked up quickly and the super popular product became a pop culture icon in its own right. By the time

legalization began to sweep other states, the Caviar Gold brand of products was poised to be successful in literally any market. With 15 states currently writing their own regulations to add to the growing list of legal markets, Mike is now poised to license his brand literally anywhere marijuana is legal. His empire is a well-oiled cannabis production machine. He oversees the brand at large, and his licensees’ access to top-of-the-line extraction machinery, and the entire Caviar Gold venture produces more than 400,000 sticky and delicious Cavi Cone, joints every single month for the past four years. Community service lies at the heart of everything the Caviar Gold brand does, though like anything else in the industry, side-stepping regulations is the name of the game. For example, some states do not allow medical cannabis to be simply given away, even to patients in serious need. This is true of both Washington state and Nevada. The company donates a significant percentage of revenue to the Cancer Association of America, but typically they prefer to

dive a little deeper by sponsoring the needs of the least fortunate medical cannabis patients in the communities they serve. Mike estimates that Caviar Gold has donated more than 480 million milligrams of THC to individuals in need of medicine. Mike Brunson’s education may not be traditional, but it spans all areas of the cannabis industry, helping others find their way as collaborators or members of the Caviar Gold team. The single biggest educating moment of Mike’s career? “When I realized that cannabis is really medicine. As the Caviar Gold trend began to spread, I started seeing it help people firsthand - that’s when I knew I was onto something much bigger than myself or my company. What we offer isn’t a product; it’s medicine, and a lifestyle for the people who need it.”

Whole Pan Seared Thai Red Snapper

Chimichurri Puree

INGREDIENTS: - 1 whole Thai Red Snapper - Lime juice - Salt and pepper - 1 gram of concentrate infused into - 4 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

INGREDIENTS: - 1 cup (packed) fresh Italian parsley - 1/2 cup olive oil (1 gram distillate) - 1/3 cup red wine vinegar - 1 cup (packed) fresh cilantro - 2 garlic cloves, peeled - 3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin - 1/2 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS: Rinse the red snapper well and pat dry with paper towels. With a sharp knife, make three shallow slashes on each side of the fish. Place the fish in a shallow bowl and sprinkle both sides with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Allow the seasoning to penetrate the fish slits, 5 to 10 minutes. In a large frying pan or cast-iron skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Lightly dredge the snapper in the flour and carefully place it in the hot oil; it should sizzle. Reduce the heat to medium and fry for 3 to 5 minutes, undisturbed. When the skin is crisp and has a deep golden color, carefully turn the fish onto its other side using a fish spatula. Cook for another 3 to 5 minutes. Briefly drain the fried fish on paper towels before transferring it to a serving dish. Keep warm.

DIRECTIONS: Include all ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set.
