STAFF EDITOR
An INCRE-DIBLE edible has come across my desk. If you
are looking for a health-conscious edibles, Cre-Edibles
has created delicious and healthy alternatives to the
traditional baked goods, gummies, and chocolates that
currently dominate the edibles market. Their product
line consists of always fresh, low-dose, infused, oatmeal
bars. Founder Aryn Sieber, is dedicated to offering the
highest quality products with all-natural ingredients.
Aryns road to cannabis was an incredible story, laden
with inspiration, illness, and frustration. He was diagnosed
with Stage IV Carcinoma of the head and neck in 2014.
Ultimately, Aryns cancer was attributed to working at
Ground Zero, in New York, immediately following the
attack on the World Trade Towers, on 9/11.
At the time, Aryn was on a business trip in New York
when the tragic crashes took place. Amidst the chaos,
he felt it was his duty to help in any manner he could. In
an emotional recollection, Aryn explained, People needed
help and I helped. It was a bad situation.
Aryn went to Ground Zero, and began assisting the
Salvation Army. He volunteered for 4 days, supporting
first responders, sifting through the wreckage, and setting
up triage centers for the wounded.
More than ten years later, he suffered from a cough that,
just never seemed to go away. He was later diagnosed
with Carcinoma of the head and neck. Sieber began his
cancer-fighting regimen consisting of traditional and
holistic treatments including radiation, chemotherapy,
Juice Plus supplements, acupuncture and medical
grade cannabis edibles. Within six months of beginning
this routine, he was shocked to learn he had entered
complete remission, meaning there are no traces of
cancer anywhere in his system.

12

As previously mentioned, Cre-Edibles offers low-dose edibles,


which is great for cancer patients who are unable to ingest
copious amounts of sugar and calories. Each of their bars
contain 50mg o THC each and are small in size. According
to the pamphlet, a first time user is recommended to only
consume an 1/8th of the bar, which equates to 6.25mg and
a regular dose is only a of the bar equaling 12.5mg.
Cre-Edibles are made from Syrup OG infused coconut oil and
all premium organic ingredients. They are small squares
that resemble any non-infused oatmeal bar. They have a nice
texture and are chewy with a bit of a crunch. I have to admit
my favorite is the Toffee Raisin Bar. It is the perfect balance
of cinnamon and sweetness. You can taste the flavor of the
cannabis, but it does not distract from the natural flavors of
the other ingredients.
The business model of Cre-Edibles is to pay it forward. Its
all about the 3-Cs Cannabis, Cancer & Community, says
Sieber. We plan to open a certified kitchen for ourselves
and others who want to test or try to create new edibles. We
welcome those who come ask us questions about cannabis.
This is not a hustle, what I am trying to do is just bring the
truth to light.
The founder is dedicated to this plant because he has
witnessed, first-hand, the incredible benefits of it. I firmly
believe it [cannabis] contributed to saving my life. He went on
to tell me, Cancer was the best thing that happened to me.
I dont like what its done to my body, but it has brought real
meaning to my life to where I can help people.
Cre-Edibles may be among the new kids on the block (in the
edibles game), but we would like to commend them on the
standard they are setting in this industry. Keep an eye on
these guys, their product is outstanding and the company
behind the product is even more exceptional. We look forward
to following your journey. To learn more about Cre-Edibles go
to: www.cre-edibles.org. Happy Medicating!

Aryns father lost his own battle with Galloping (lung)


cancer. It was on his fathers birthday, January 12th,
2015, that Cre-Edibles was born. In Aryns own words its
his mission to bring the use of cannabis out into the light,
to address the stigma that surrounds the conversation
of cannabis use and to educate others about the use of
cannabis as a medicinal option for those in need.

JACK HERER:

THE HEMPEROR
KYMBER WARD
STAFF EDITOR

Happy Birthday Hemperor!


Have you ever wondered how the cannabis
industry got to where it is today? Who
influenced this revolution? What sacrifices
have been made in order to get to this
point? It is a disappointing realization that
this generation of cannabis enthusiasts has
no idea who the founding fathers are of the
industry. In fact, arguably the most influential
cannabis activist has been relegated to
merely a strain of marijuana. The name
behind the most awarded strain ever, the
Hemperor, and one of the most dedicated
hemp activists ever, Jack Herer, deserves
to be honored. Each person involved in this
movement should not only know who he was,
but honor his legacy.
Unlike many in the industry, Jack Herer did
not have the stereotypical hippie background.
He actually lived a fairly traditional life premarijuana. He was born on June 18, 1939
and grew up in Buffalo, NY. His family was
a conservative Jewish family that had
traditional family values. His father passed
away at an early age. Shortly thereafter, he
dropped out of high school and enlisted in the
army. He ultimately became a translator in
the Korean War.
After leaving the military, he went home
and began his family in Southern California.
By the mid 1960s, he had 3 sons Barry,
Dan and Mark. He worked as a neon sign
salesman in Southern California. Later, he
had 3 more children River, Chanci and BJ.
Herer was a conservative Republican and
had a great distain for anti-war protestors
during Vietnam. Jack was adamantly against
marijuana at the time. In fact, believe it or not,
he even divorced his first wife over cannabis!
It wasnt until years later did he try marijuana
and instantaneously felt the draw to the plant.
In the documentary, Emperor of Hemp, he
explained what trying marijuana felt like for the
first time, in 1969. I was feeling sensations
that I didnt even know a human being could
experience.

14

It was from that day forward Herers crusade


to legalize hemp and cannabis was underway.
Jack then went on to write his first book
G.R.A.S.S. (Great Revolutionary American
Standard System: The Official Guide for
Assessing the Quality of Marijuana on
the 1 to 10 Scale), a cartoon book about

marijuana. As the first book gained traction,


he became an expert on the subject. He had
an insatiable urge to learn and he began to

law that stated there were to be no public


gatherings on Federal property after dark.
His fellow conspirators agreed to pay the
$5 fine and received probation, Jack did
not. He fought the charges for two years
and ultimately lost; he was sentenced
to two weeks at Terminal Island, a lowsecurity Federal prison. It was there that
The Emperor Wears No Clothes, was born.
In 1985, Jack published The Emperor
Wears No Clothes: The Official Hemp Bible,
a non-fiction book grounded in historical
and scientific fact, but written in simple
language. He shed light on all of the not so
well-known facts about cannabis and hemp
including explaining how cannabis is the most
renewable resource on the planet. The book
is now in its 12th Edition and has sold over
700,000 copies. A $100,000 challenge is
offered to anyone who can disprove the book.

soak up any information he could about the


plant. He became fascinated with the history
of the plant, even moreso the importance of
hemp in our history.
Many people already involved in the
marijuana movement at the time, looked at
Jack as a liberal loony who was straying
from the bottom line keeping smokers
out of jail and thought he focused too much
on hemp. Eventually, he teamed up with
Captain Ed Adair who quickly became
his trusted confidant and right-hand
man. According to Jack, he and Captain
Ed had made a pact to work towards
legalizing cannabis until the day they died.
In 1979, Jack and Ed created the very first
hemp store. It was an outdoor booth at Venice
Beach. In no time, Herer became a Venice
Beach staple, telling everyone who stopped by
(and even those who didnt) the miracles and
many uses of the plant. He was a dynamic,
magnetic, and passionate orator who was
able to capture the attention of many and
never traveled far without a loyal entourage.
It was 1981, when Jack came toe-to-toe
with President Ronald Reagan, a notorious
anti-marijuana force, at the Federal Building
in Los Angeles while Herer was collecting
signatures for a California initiative. At the
time, Reagan had no idea what all of the
Canadians were doing protesting. He did
not know what a marijuana leaf looked like
and mistook it as a maple leaf oh, the irony.
After 108 days of protesting, Jack and
five other protestors were arrested for
disobeying an outdated and vague wartime

Perhaps Jacks most monumental discovery


while researching the book was finding
Hemp for Victory, a 14-minute documentary
created by the Department of Agriculture,
that explains the many uses of hemp and
urges farmers to cultivate the plant. Him
and his posse went to the Library of
Congress in search of proving the validity of
the movie. The official Library of Congress
documentation was tucked away in a back
room, but Jack found it.
Herer and his movement gained speed in
the 90s. With the knowledge that hemp is
indeed an amazing resource finally conveyed
to the public the hemp industry took off, as
did Jacks notoriety. Jack was featured on
several High Times covers and received
numerous awards.
As the millennium approached, Jack still
fought the good fight. In 2004, he suffered
his first heart attack and a stroke. He mostly
recovered and returned to his campaign. At
the 2009 Hempstalk in Portland, Oregon
he suffered another heart attack and April
15, 2010, Jack Herer passed away from
complications of the heart attack.
Jacks legacy has continued to thrive as
he built the foundation for the marijuana
industry we have today. It is important that
the new generation of pioneers knows
and understands his mission in order to
continue it. Jacks 74th birthday was on June
18th; therefore, in honor of him and the
groundwork he laid for us, Edibles Magazine
has dedicated this issue to cannabis reform
and hemp activism. Happy Birthday Jack!

STAFF EDITOR
In light of Jacks birthday, we wanted to
celebrate his legacy by highlighting his many
achievements in our industry. It truly saddens
us to hear so many twenty-somethings have
no idea who Jack Herer is, outside of the
cannabis strain. I had the opportunity to sit
down with his 2nd oldest son, Dan and was able
to gain a unique insight about this iconic man.
I must admit that the very first time I met with
Dan he had to correct my pronunciation of his
last name whoops! Like many, I pronounced
Herer as her-air, fun fact; it is actually
pronounced like hair-er. Dan laughed a bit and
said, think Herer like terror.
I was dying to find out what Jack was like as
a father. Dan explained that pre-pot, He was
stern; if he asked you to do something, you just
did it. It was probably due to being an Army vet
,and the mentality of do as I say, not as I do.
However, after trying cannabis in 1969, my
father became a noticeably different guy.
At the time he was working and maintaining
neon signs in Los Angeles. After discovering
marijuana in his 30s, he became much more
hippie-like and free thinking, explained his son.
I was curious what it was like to be amidst
Jacks world while growing up. He explained
that hanging out with hippies, stoners, and
swingers in the early 70s was interesting.
He tells me with a grin, that one of his fondest
childhood memories with his father was going
to Studio 54 in New York when he was about
fourteen Hey, it was the 70s right?

16

Jack needed all hands on deck after


publishing his first book, G.R.A.S.S. It seemed
like overnight we were not just his kids but his
working staff for the 1st publication, GRASS.
I remember the publication stamp was

DAN HERER: THE HEMPERORS SON

incorrect, so we had to blackout and re-stamp


each copy by hand, Dan recalls.

Dan gave me a brief rundown of some key


players he remembers:

Dan continued to work with his father


throughout the 80s and 90s. He was among
the many people gathering signatures, at the
California Federal Building, for 108 days before
Jack was arrested for breaking an outdated
law. The Hemp Booth in Venice Beach was in
full swing at this time. Dan helped to maintain
and run the booth while his father was on the
campaign road.

Captain Ed Adair He was my dads righthand man. He was devastated when his
partner in the movement succumbed to
cancer in 1991.
Richie Marcella In the early 80s, Richie
was the guy my dad could depend on for
anything.
Michael M. He was one of my fathers
closest confidants. He was the resident artist
and even painted all of the Hemp Booth signs.
Eddy Lepp He was very close to my father
in his latter years. He never left his side; he
truly cared for my father.

Dave Martin Owner of HempStar, a


hemp product company that now sells Jacks
Hemp for Victory shirt.
Dave the Hemp Man A longtime friend and
hemp supplier
Chuck Jacobs A devoted friend.

He shared an apartment with his father


in Van Nuys. I wondered how it was to live
with someone who always had a following.
Ah my fathers camp My father had an
extraordinary ability to meet and inspire people
to dedicate themselves to the movement and
in a sense, to him. To give their time freely, and
in exchange he gave them love, food, shelter
and in a sense, self worth, he explained.
They rented a small apartment in Venice right
near where the booth was. This apartment
essentially housed the booth on off days and
all of the people who worked it.
In the mid 90s, Dan stepped away from the
cause to pursue personal goals; Jack wasnt
thrilled with that idea. The relationship was
always strained, in the sense that I had my
views in what I wanted to do [with my life] and he
had his views on what I should be doing within
the movement, he explained. Simply put, if
you didnt agree with Jack, you were wrong.

Prop 215 was actually not Jacks initiative;


it was head by Dennis Peron. The wars
between him and Dennis were monumental.
My dad had issues with Prop 215, but
eventually he came on board. He felt it didnt
go far enough. If people had access to this
plant medically, and could go to a doctor to
be prescribed this as a medicine, he felt that
a majority of the folks would stop fighting as
they got what wanted safe access. It turns
out he was right, because up until recently
the war had ended and people had given up.
Since his fathers death, Dan has decided to
come back to the movement and continue
his fathers legacy his way. He has started
The Jack Herer Foundation, dedicated to
the re-education of this plant and its place in
history as the planets number one renewable
source. If you would like more information

TOPICAL REVIEW:

JAYN G RENE
INFUSED
BEARD OIL
& BALMS

KEIR MCMICHAEL
STAFF EDITOR
JaynGrene is a new topical company on the
market, whose creators background includes
eight years in The United States Marine Corps,
with two tours in Iraq. After her time in the
military, she was honorably discharged and
graduated from the Art Institute of Washington
D.C., focusing her studies in film. She then drove
across the country from the Capital to California,
by herself, in search of a way to combine her
love of film with her love of cannabis. She is now
involved with the Weed 4 Warrior Project, which
assists veterans in obtaining medicinal cannabis
to treat their PTSD and other debilitating postwar symptoms. She is also a cannabis model,
has worked with StockPot, Women Grow, and
directs and edits for the U.S. Weed Channel.
I chose to create this specific product line
because I attended a 420 class, just to learn
more about the business, and I sat next to a
gentleman that had on this intoxicating cannabis
topical. It was so potent, and horrible smelling that
I couldnt concentrate, so I started wondering if
there was a topical on the market with benefits
but smelled approachable. Since Ive always
valued beautiful skin, it made sense that I went
this route instead of the heavily medicated balms
on the market today. After doing some research,
I found the best ingredient combination that
helps significantly reduce, or altogether alleviate
the most common skincare ailments. They not
only have healing properties, but also luscious
scents that rival any name brand product on the
market now.
JaynGrene offers a line of Non-Gmo, Gluten
Free, 100% Natural, Paraben Free, skincare
products for both men & women. The line
currently includes a Body Butter, Beard Oil, and
Beard Balm. This product line is made from high
quality ingredients and each of them have an
especially pleasant aroma. Especially, the body
butter - which is made from a myriad of essential
oils including mango oil!
Cannabis has completely affected my life for the

better. I honestly dont think I can function as a


productive member of society without it. As a
sufferer of PTSD, it controls my anxiety, anger,
back pain, and it helps me see life with the glass
half full, instead of half empty. When things go
wrong, as they will in life, its no longer a situation
that will make or break me; but a learning lesson
that I now value. Unfortunately, all veterans do
not have access to this natural, safe alternative
medicine. Because of this they succumb to
their symptoms, and on average 22 service
members commit suicide a day, because they
think its the only way to free themselves of the
thoughts or emotions that they want to forget
but simply never can.
JaynGrene topicals are different from your
average topical on the market today because
it is primarily for major skin ailments only, so it
should not be used for pain relief. Their skincare
products are for men experiencing beardruff,
split ends, breakage, or hair bumps underneath
their beards. It also has oils full of antibacterial,
antifungal, and antimicrobial properties. These oils
are beneficial because they help cuts heal faster,
help hair grow thicker and stronger, and they
assist in cleaning up those unkempt dirty beards.
The JaynGrene Beard Balm is excellent for
softening rough hair follicles, styling and taming,
and increasing moisturization in any size beard.
For women, they offer exotic scented body
butters packed with anti-aging properties. These
butters are for individuals perplexed with acne,
psoriasis, rosacea, and other skin conditions.
The creator personally suffers from eczema, so
it was important for her to find ingredients that
help combat the irritating skin problem. All of the
skincare products are 100% natural, and many
of the ingredients featured are organic. They
contain an abundance of Vitamin E, and they help
your skin feel smooth and soft especially after
bath time. Just remember a little goes a long way.
When I opened the bottle of oil, the first thing I
noticed was the scent. The smell of lemon grass
is present but no overwhelming and; in fact, quite
soothing. The dropper is a great touch. Its really
nice to be able to control the amount of oil applied

without the risk of spilling oil or having oil running


down the side of the bottle.
After application the oil is slightly greasy(, but
much less greasy than any other products Ive
used. Since its all natural, I just rubbed the excess
into my skin on my head and arms. I was left no
worries of the oil transferring to my clothing say
when my beard or hands and rightly so. I fiddle
with my beard quite a bit and even though I didnt
feel like the oil was getting on my fingers.
I feel like the oil softened and thickened my beard
hair and even made the hair on my head feel silky.
after combing my beard felt full and (as much as
that pains my manhood to say) bouncy. Even with
my occasional fiddling my beard kept its full shape.
The hair was stronger and I experienced almost
no breakage, tangling or plucking when combing
my beard (which I do 2 to 4 times a day) The oil
also virtually stopped phantom beard itch and
along with the urge to fiddle with my beard (which
causes plucking and thinning of the hair).
The oil provides the perfect amount of shine to
the hair. Not so shiny that its obvious, but a subtle
sheen that carries throughout the day. In fact my
co worker described my beard as looking very
clean and feels softer than usual that day.
Most products Ive used cause one of two issues
with my skin. Either the product is so greasy that
is causes my skin to break out in pimples or the
product dries out my skin and hair causing flaky
skin and breakage. This beard oil moisturizes my
skin perfectly as well as my beard. No breakouts,
no flaky skin or breakage. The oil that got onto my
lips actually moisturized and I didnt experience
any of the tingling or chemically taste I have with
other beard products. Not surprising considering
its 100% natural. I just rubbed it into my lips and
let it do its thing.
I just found my new go-to product because I love
this oil. I just wish it came in larger quantities, so I

HOW
CANNABIS
REDUCES
INFLAMMATION
How Cannabis Products will both extend and save your life

state update:

body causing oxidating stress to the


fragile machinery of the tissues and
mitochondria, specifically. In one instance,
in the brain, inflammation serves to shunt
the use of tryptophan toward production
of
anxiety-provoking
chemicals like quinolinate,
instead of toward serotonin
and melatonin; thus causing
lack of sleep, decreased
healing times, increasing
disease. This is the vicious
circle of disease, simply
put, the more inflammation,
the higher the stress, the
higher the stress, the more
inflammation
escalating
into a disease process i.e.
Parkinsons, heart disease,
pain, depression, et all.

STAFF EDITOR
The human being is the most
sophisticated organism on the planet.
It feeds, cleans, and heals itself. It does
have an expiration date however, that can
be hacked or manipulated depending on
the way, you as the steward of your body
treats it. As I stated, the job of the body
is to clean and heal the body to increase
the longevity and its quality of life. Now,
the body heals everything the same way,
but its reaction depends on the structure
or organ that becomes injured. For
example, if your body is cut, it bleeds, this
begins the inflammatory process initiated
by this insult or injury scar tissue is
summoned to the injured area, and new
cells replace the damaged tissue and
within about 6 weeks the injured area is
returned to somewhat normal, of course
depending on the extent of damage. The
key is to adopt a more holistic view, rather
than focusing on small bits and pieces of
your anatomy. That includes taking your
thoughts and emotions into account as
well. The optimum aging scenario, says
Andrew Weil MD, a pioneer in integrative
medicine, is to remain as healthy as
possible until we approach death, and
then rapidly decline: Regardless, your
wish to live a long healthy life. To do this,
one must counteract the toxicity being

ingested, inhaled, or exposed to the body.


For the last 117 years, we have been
under
constant
assault
from
environmental toxins, in our food, water,
air, etc. Experts are reporting that
environmental toxins are now a major
health threat. We are now under
the greatest environmental assault in
the history of humanity, as depicted
in Suzanne Summers new book.
An expanding collection of research
tools has enabled scientists to describe
in some detail biologic processes at
the micro level that are set in motion
by human-environmental interactions.
These processes include, for example,
gene mutation, enzyme induction,
oxidative stress, inflammation, changes
in membrane permeability or cell-tocell signaling properties, and hormone
disruption. We have learned just how
much our health or risk of disease
depends on our biologic responses to
what we eat, drink, and breathe; exposures
to industrial and other chemicals; social
circumstances; interactions with other
biological organisms; and many other
aspects of our environment. Despite
eating organic foods, sleeping eight
hours a night, and exercising, people are
struggling with health issues stemming
from toxic overload of these toxins. But
there are many other strategies as well.

So back to our model, the body is fighting


these toxins and minor injuries, 24/7
and regardless of the diligence you assign
to watching the type of food and water
you ingest, your stress level, your sleep,
and of course your genetic background
etc. you cannot fully get away from a
stressor, whether its environmental,
physical or physiological injury that is
surrounding you. The body combats this
insult from toxins, by being vigilant against
these toxins by being in a constant form
of chronic inflammation. So, the body is
fighting disease everywhere it encounters
it in the body, constantly. Chronic
inflammation, which is also known as
low-grade or systemic inflammation, is
linked to numerous health effects and
disease states. Despite the enormous
interest of researchers, the details of
this link remain unclear. According to
Andrew Rooney, Ph.D., Deputy Director
of the NTP Office of Health Assessment
and Translation, because of the large
number of health effects and the vast
literature on the subject, researchers
are challenged to develop an answerable
question related to linking exposure, the
resulting inflammation, and ultimately, a
health effect.
Once inflammation is active, it is highly
self-perpetuating. These inflammatory
cytokines
travel
throughout
the

So, to combat this vicious


circle of inflammation, it
is recommended that you
eat organically, detox your
body, drink water, eliminate
processed foods, and take
supplements etc. However, your still
under assault from forces outside your
control that are almost impossible to
escape. But there is a solution, and
that is to augment these Functional
Medicine protocols with a natural an antiinflammatory that grows naturally to fight
this environmental onslaught as well as
other toxins we ingest.
Cannabis, commonly known as marijuana,
is a product of the Cannabis sativa plant
and the active compounds from this
plant are collectively referred to as
cannabinoids. For several centuries,
marijuana has been used as an alternative
medicine in many cultures and, recently,
its beneficial effects have been shown in:
the treatment of nausea and vomiting
associated with cancer chemotherapy;
anorexia and cachexia seen in HIV/
AIDS patients; and in neuropathic pain
and spasticity in multiple sclerosis.
Cannabinoid pharmacology has made
important advances in recent years
after the discovery of the cannabinoid
receptors (CB1 and CB2).
Cannabinoid receptors and their
endogenous ligands have provided an
excellent platform for the investigation of
the therapeutic effects of cannabinoids.
Cannabinoids
are
potent
antiinflammatory agents and they exert their
effects through induction of apoptosis,

inhibition of cell proliferation, suppression


of cytokine production and induction of
T-regulatory cells (Tregs).

The combination of THC and CBDs act as

a natural anti-inflammatory, helping the


body concentrate on the most important
problems first. Much like Stem Cells,
CBDs when introduced into the system,
regardless of mode of transport, either
by smoking, oil, tinctures or edible the
reaction is the same, the inflammation
overall subsides, then the CBDs target
the most important problem first then to
the second, and so on from there.
We see this in the most extreme
circumstances such as tumor prevention,
tumor shrinking, seizure or a myriad
of other serious issues. The physical
manifestations of these diseases begin
as simple inflammation that has been
ignored or missed for years. Advertising
companies spend millions, giving us
solutions to decrease our inflammation
from Ionized Water, to non GMO Foods,
etc. and all these are great additions to
living a longer better life. However, we are
missing out on the benefits of the simplest
way to detox and extend our lives, and
thats the use of THC based CBDs.
As you can see from the diagram above,
CBDs react positively to almost every
issue we encounter in health today. I
personally use it, to control my arthritis
inflammation and chronic pain from years
of working with horses. Patients use it to
control their physical pain due to injury,
symptoms of allergies; skin problems,
all having their beginning as overactive

inflammatory effects, we call allergies,


in all their forms. I personally use this in
my Life Extension, BHRT, and proper diet
lifestyle.
In conclusion, I do not see the control
of our environment, food, and water
issues to be cleansed in our lifetime.
However, what I do see and I am a
large proponent for, is these CBDs
will be used in your daily dietary
regime to live longer, and healthier.
CBD based products come in a
variety of forms, flavors and types.
As I stated above, its not the way we
take the CBDs, its that we take the
CBDs as a treatment, a preventative
and an overall guard against toxicity.
Executive summary:
Cannabinoids, the active components
of Cannabis sativa, and endogenous
cannabinoids mediate their effects
through activation of specific
cannabinoid receptors known as
cannabinoid receptor 1 and 2 (CB1
and CB2).
The cannabinoid system has been shown
both in vivo and in vitro to be involved in
regulating the immune system through
its immunomodulatory properties.
Cannabinoids suppress inflammatory
response and subsequently attenuate
disease symptoms. This property of
cannabinoids is mediated through
multiple pathways such as induction of
apoptosis in activated immune cells,
suppression of cytokines and chemokines
at inflammatory sites and upregulation of
FoxP3+ regulatory T cells.
Cannabinoids have been tested in several
experimental models of autoimmune
disorders such as multiple sclerosis,
rheumatoid arthritis, colitis and hepatitis
and have been shown to protect the host
from the pathogenesis through induction
of multiple anti-inflammatory pathways.
Cannabinoids may also be beneficial
in certain types of cancers that are
triggered by chronic inflammation. In
such instances, cannabinoids can either
directly inhibit tumor growth or suppress
inflammation and tumor angiogenesis.

STAFF EDITOR
He was a schmuck - but I loved him,
Richard Marcella says of Jack Herer.
Too often do we take for granted what we
have. In our current cannabis marketplace,
most of the younger generations dont
know the legal history in how we got to
where we are now. All we know is that we
have access to medicine and recreational
cannabis in some states. Here at The
Edibles List, we believe it is imperative to
know where you came from, and that is why
this issue is dedicated to those that have
laid the groundwork before we came along.

RICHARD MARCELLA

He was his PR man. The official hangout


was Captain Eds head shop in Burbank.
It was originally called Heads & High, and
opened by Captain Ed Adair, in an effort
to keep the spirit of the 60s alive. It is
still there, and is the oldest head shop in
America, with 48 years under its belt at the
Burbank location on Van Nuys Blvd.
In addition to being the official hemp initiative
spokesperson and media coordinator,
Richard began a public access television
show called HEMP 4 Victory, (a throwback
name to the 1940s government campaign
Hemp for Victory, encouraging farmers to
grow hemp for rope supply during the war).

Richard got involved in the movement to


legalize cannabis in January 1980. He
joined the National Organization for Reform
on Marijuana Laws, and began his road to
becoming an official hemp advocate. He
was 35 at the time, and is now 70 years
old, celebrating 35 years (and dedicating
over half his life) in the cannabis movement.
Marcella worked very closely Jack Herer.

The Sheriff got angry and responded, For


20 years Ive heard that threat, and for 20
years nothing has ever happened.
Every media outlet called the Sheriff station,
the Governors office, the Secretary of
State called, the attorney generals office, all
called, wanting to know about the arrests.
The sheriff got pissed off at me, walked
around, put his arm around me and hit me
in the kidney. Knocked the wind out of me.
Jack was in the holding tank behind, heard it
and he yelled, Richie are you alright?!
I said, No, and for 3 days I couldnt pee. It
was hell.

Our team was at The BIG Show Denver


during 2015s World Cannabis Week when
a lively and gregarious Richard Marcella,
chased down a member of the Edibles
Magazine Team to show us his pictures he
brought with him from California. He held
stacks of printed photos of him in front of
the White House campaigning, photos of
him with Jack Herer, and photos of Jack
with his girlfriend at the time.
Jack Herer authored the premier book on
cannabis, The Emperor Wears No Clothes,
originally released June 1985, it has
now sold nearly 1 million copies, and the
documentary has done just as well. Richard
Marcella was Jacks friend, confidant, and
the official spokesperson of the California
Hemp Initiatives.

Channel 7

In a holding tank in downtown LA, Richard


reached out to the impossible to get a hold
of, Larry Jacobs, at 95.5 KLOS radio, at that
rare moment he was in. Marcella gave an
interview with the #1 radio station in LA,
from jail.

Richard was happy to show us some of the


episodes that aired on PBS, as well as the
impromptu interviews he landed with Willie
Nelson, over 20 years ago.
In September 1981, Richard and Jack
were all arrested at the Lancaster Fair for
gathering signatures for the California hemp
initiative for legalization. The official charge
was an infraction, not even a misdemeanor,
and yet their bail was higher than the
prisoners being held for felonies. Jack was
bailed out right away, while Richard spent 3
days in jail.
When the Sheriff was booking Marcella,
Richard told them, Youre going to hear
from more media than youve ever heard
from before. The LA Times, KFWB, ABC,

So I hang up the phone. Then the phone


rings, its a black woman, and I hang up on
her as shes asking for the biggest, blackest,
meanest guy in the jail. My back was
against the wall, and Im not feeling good,
and he walks up to me. I knew I was gunna
have to fight to save myself. Im thinking to
myself, okay, were in jail, at least Ill go down
fighting. He walks up to me and says, Dont
you EVER hang up on my old lady again or Ill
kill ya! and he walks away
Finally after being in jail for three days, Jack
gets Captain Ed to get Richard out of Jail with
$200 out of the head shop cash register.
With Californias Cannabis Hemp Initiative
in 2016 going on the bill for voting, we
encourage you to remember those that
paved the road before us, and those that
have served jail time for this plant.

featured NEWS:

PURDUE
WILL BE THE FIRST

UNIVERSITY TO GROW
LEGAL HEMP IN THE USA

DAN CAPENER
STAFF EDITOR
Purdue Agronomy Professor, Ron Turco, recently received State
and Federal approval to conduct a three-year study on hemp at
Purdue University. His team will research two varieties of the plant
to identify its capacity for food and production material. A 50
pound bag of hemp seeds was ordered from Canada to initiate
the project with planting to take place on arrival. Over a year ago,
Indiana legislators signed into law the commercial growth and
research of the versatile industrial hemp plant. However, lack of
Federal approval has stalled the growing of the crop for study
and research. Turco has reportedly has spent months jumping
through hoops in getting the project approved and permitted, even
though last years Federal Farm Bill re-opened the door for hemp
production as a cash crop after nearly a century of prohibition.
Now, States and Universities are allowed to grow hemp for
agricultural research provided that they obtain specific waivers
from the DEA. Purdue received their waivers, and should be
planting as this article goes to press.
Hemp was one of the first crops harvested by Pilgrims and the
first settlers in the country, at George Washingtons request.
It became a major crop in the Americas. It is an all-around plant
that can be used for thousands of products including paper. Its
seeds have high nutritional value, the fiber can be used instead of
wood. It makes strong rope, hemp oil is high in omega vitamins,
and the THC level of the plant is so low if you smoked it you would
get cancer before getting high, according to Professor Turco.
Most research shows that re-legalization of the crop would be a
monetary boom to the country, especially farmers. Thousands of
trees would be saved, it could provide food and medicine, as well
as clothing, wood and even concrete replacement, the list goes
on and on.
The drawback seems to be peoples correlation of hemp with
its cousin marijuana, and worried legislators havent yet realized
positives far outweigh the false negative since smoking hemp
doesnt get you high. Its a wonder it is still illegal to grow in this
country, so we have to import from Canada, or Europe. There
are signs the country, especially the Federal government, is slowly
warming and waking up to the positives, at least in some states.
Others are surely to follow.

EVENT feature:

PAUL FIMBRES
STAFF EDITOR
On Saturday, June 13th, the first of potentially many annual Get
Baked Sale events occurred in San Francisco. Hosted within the
citys famous SOMA StrEatFood Park, the occasion drew together
members of the medical cannabis community from across the
state to focus on one specific form of medicinal cannabis, infused
edibles. Edibles Magazine was invited to attend, and we had a oneof-a-kind experience.
We arrived midway throughout the day-long event at the cozy
outdoor space of the StrEatFood Park. Although the place was
still bustling with activity, we had missed the mornings pancake
breakfast rush, which had drawn the largest crowds. Surrounding
a number of ordinary food trucks, purveyors occupied booths and
the venues (immobile) busses to vend their wares and inform
attendees of their services. In addition to edible producers, a
number of dispensaries, delivery services, and lifestyle products
were on display. Some attendees casually puffed on pipes and joints
while walking about the more open spaces, while others sipped,
slurped, and munched on every type of food under the sun.
Although technically billed as an event for patients and non-patients
alike, scant activities and services were available for attendees
lacking the seemingly-ubiquitous colored wristbands that denoted a
medical patient. While various booths did offer Carnival Games, for
the most part this amounted to spinning a prize wheel and receiving
discounts or free samples.
For attendees who did partake of samples and products for sale,
their biggest concerns would have to be a low tolerance; most
samples and products contained at least one dose of 10mg, with
some products ranging all the way up to 1,000mg for patients with
more extreme conditions.
However, there seemed to be almost a split mind guiding the
crowd, with people from all walks of life. In addition to all the more
lighthearted products and services, the community and attendees
mostly seemed focused on one thing, getting the patients the
medicine that best served their particular needs and conditions. A
number of vendors expressed their conviction in the event, claiming
they made an extra effort to attend due to the emphasis on edibles,
the safest and most reliable form of cannabis consumption. There
were a number of vendors advertising and selling high-CBD and
non-psychoactive products aimed at inflammation. There were
medicated Italian sodas and multiple types of ice creams. Cookie
doughs, cakes, syrups, and even medicated salt were put on display.
Indeed, there were simply too many variety of edibles in this one
place to list them, and everyone seemed eager to help patients find
the treatment they needed, even when it wasnt with their product,
directing people to other booths. Rather than the more chaotic
feel of the larger and more general interest events, I walked away
from the whole experience feeling more like I had attended a rather
pleasant, if somewhat rough around the edges, farmers market
for medibles.

The First Annual 710 Event

ELLIOT REDMOND
STAFF EDITOR
The First Annual 710 Event in San Bernardino was definitely better
than I was expecting. The event was presented by Chef Nugs and
Kashmir. Usually first time events are tossed together pretty quickly
and super disorganized, but not this event. It was not as big as the
Cannabis Cup, but in my opinion, it was better, simply because you
could sit down, have a conversation with everyone without being
constantly interrupted. The hustle and bustle was not as distracting,
and it seems people had real fun at this event, I know I did.
The venue was laid out nicely, and there were vendors both outside
and inside. My favorite booth, (and this is just my personal opinion),
was The Pirate Candy booth. Pirate Bill, what can I say, except thank
you, for being such a great host, inviting my friends over like we were
family, and treating us like kings. Even when party fouls took place, like
breaking the Nectar Collector (sorry again!), it was no sweat.

Another wonderful booth I visited was the California Cannabis for


Hemp Initiative 2016. On a political note, I have heard so much
about this organization. They are truly passionate about the cause,
and after speaking to them; they could not stand out more. Please
check out their website, read it, and make an opinion for yourself
based on facts www.cchi2016.org.
The 710 Show was a well-rounded event in San Bernardino.
All musical guests were off the hook and went on stage in a
timely manner, keeping the crowds happy. When I spoke to Chef
Nugs regarding this event he said, I really enjoyed doing the 710
Experience Festival! It went very well, actually better than expected!
All of our artists went up on time and were happy, the vendors were
all happy at the end, and of course, all the fans were happy and had
a great time! We are planning another event July 18th called The
710 Meltdown in LA check out www.the710meltdown.com for info!

EDIBLES SAFETY:

Food Safety First

The Perils of Ice Cream and Beef Jerky


RACHEL ZEMSER
STAFF EDITOR
As the world of marijuana infused food products gets
bigger and more people want to eat their medicine rather
than smoke it, marijuana infusing chefs try to get more
creative and make something that no one else is making
in the medible market.
Food products like beef jerky and ice cream are highly
regulated in this country by the FDA, USDA and local
health departments. When you go to your local 7-11
and buy a stick of beef jerky, take a look at the label
and you will see the made in a USDA facility stamp on
it. When you buy ice cream from the supermarket you
can feel somewhat safe in knowing that it was made in
a manufacturing plant that properly processed the milk
to ensure no pathogenic deadly bacteria is growing in
there. The government regulates these food products for
a reason, because if they are made incorrectly they can
easily become contaminated and cause serious illness or
even death.
When I visit local dispensaries and see that they are
selling marijuana infused beef jerky and ice cream I have
concerns. I wonder if the meat was dried properly to a
water activity below 0.85 and I wonder where the milk and
cream used to make the ice cream came from and if the
manufacturer has a HACCP plan (Hazard Analysis Critical
Control Points) and a proper Listeria testing program in
place. Recently a well-known ice cream company Jenis
(www.jenis.com) found listeria contamination in their
production facility and had to have a major recall. Millions
of dollars were lost and luckily no one got sick. They are
now working on implementing a proper Listeria testing
protocol to ensure that they catch any contamination
before the product leaves the manufacturing plant. I
wonder if the ice cream companies making marijuana
infused frozen desserts are aware of this potential issue
and what they are doing to ensure that no Listeria gets
into their production line.

non-potentially hazardous foods like dry cookies, crisp rice


treats and candy like marshmallows and gummy bears. These
types of products are lower risk and the high sugar in the food
prevent bacteria from growing. If your state has a cottage food
industry, you can find a list of non-potentially hazardous foods
on their public health website. Here is a list of California nonhazardous foods: www.cdph.ca.gov/programs/Documents/
fdbCFOfoodslist.pdf
Unfortunately, the marijuana food industry is not getting the
proper and crucial support it needs from the USDA, FDA
and local health departments. Food safety is not intuitive and
is more involved than washing hands and taking a safe serve
online class. If you dont know how to implement a HACCP plan
and if you dont have a water activity unit to ensure that your
beef jerky has an Aw below 0.85 then you could be putting
dangerous food products on the market. Pathogens in food
are dangerous to everyone but the very old, very young and
immune-compromised community are the most susceptible to
food borne illness.
Have questions about the safety of your food product? You can
check out my website www.theintrepidculinologist.com Need
help translating your recipe to a formula or creating a nutritional
label, help is available via www.alacarteconnections.com

Dried meat products like processed meat sticks and


beef jerky are regulated by both the USDA and local
state health departments. Even though beef jerky and
dried meat has been made and consumed by people for
ages, there are still some safety regulations that must be
followed to ensure that no pathogens or spoilage bacteria
grow. Some of those regulations include:
A minimum dehydration temperature of 145F

(165F for poultry) to inhibit pathogenic and

spoilage microorganisms
A final water activity level that falls well below 0.85 to

prevent pathogen growth
A final water activity level between 0.60 and 0.70 to

inhibit spoilage bacteria, yeast and mold and to

extend shelf life
I recommend that all medible food makers only make

BRUCE MARGOLIN

EL: What does Prop 215 actually do for MJ convictions?


BRUCE: In 1996, we passed Prop 215, which
established medical marijuana laws for patients and
the ability to grow marijuana for personal use, but
nothing else. So, that made all kinds of problems with
transportation and people wanted to share marijuana
with other patients and there was nowhere to buy
marijuana legally. Senate Bill 420, provided a whole
new area of protections for patients. It provides
basically, that patients can grow 6 mature plants or
12 immature plants and have up to 8 ounces of bud
(flowers) and that shake doesnt count in the equation.
So, that was a big break, in a lot of ways, but really that
only provided protection for those limited amounts.
KYMBER WARD
STAFF EDITOR
Edibles List Magazine got the distinct honor of sitting
with the most well-known marijuana attorney ever,
Bruce Margolin. Here are excerpts from that interview.
EL: We wanted to talk about hemp activism and
cannabis reform today and hear a little bit about what
your path in the cannabis industry has looked like. You
started your practice when you were 25, right?
BRUCE: Thats right.
EL: So how long have you been in the industry?
BRUCE: Well, I have been defending marijuana cases
since 1967. I am proud to say that I have defended
more marijuana cases than any other lawyer in the
country successfully, as well. I have also been involved
with reformist activities. I ran for public office way
back in 1968, 69 and 70. I ran for US Congress
and Governor of California, always on the marijuana
platform and tried to show the legitimacy of that
platform in the public arena. Luckily, I didnt win or I
would be stuck in Congress somewhere, but what I did
was affect the way people think about the legitimacy
of that policy. Since then, I have also been the head of
NORML since 1973. Before becoming Director of Los
Angeles NORML, I quit an organization called Coalition
for the Abolition of Marijuana Prohibition (CAMP). So,
I have been down for the cause a long time. Because
of what happened in the first year of my practice, I
saw in the courtroom how horrible it was to put young
people in the same places as robbers and rapists. I was
shocked it was over marijuana cases.
Ultimately, when I would defend these cases and
maybe some would face the time for sentencing on
a case, I would think to say to the judge You know
the ABA standards (the American Bar Association
standards) on punishment, is really supposed to be
based on the intended wrong. And Id say, tell me
whats the intended wrong, Your Honor, in a case of
something involving marijuana. Ultimately, they had
no answers for that. The answer was simply, You
broke the law thats why you are being punished. So,
I realized that changing the law was the only way to
resolve my frustration over the idea of people going
to jail for marijuana; try to change the law, so that this
would not happen. Over the years weve been able to
effectuate all kinds of change. When I first started my
practice, possession of any amount of marijuana was a
felony which was punishable by 0-5 years in prison; and
people did go to prison for five years. And since then,
weve been able to pass many legislations, and many
new laws in California. Were on the verge now, after
many years, of finally legalizing marijuana in California;
which I think will happen in 2016.

48

EL: I know you have an app, the 420 Laws app. Can you
tell us a little about that? I heard there is an interesting
feature, the panic button.
BRUCE: Well, let me just say, everybody has their own
view of how they should handle things when they come
up. For example, youre talking to a police officer and you
might want to cooperate to some degree and pass the
attitude test - that might help. Our recommendation
is that when you get pulled over, you listen to my app.
The app provides not only my guide to marijuana; the
guide also includes all 50 states laws. Matter of fact,
its a guide that Ive been putting in the marketplace for
10 years. We are giving it to the public and its on my
website for free as well; we put it in all the dispensaries,
but the app in particular, is free as well.
It also provides a panic button, which automatically
comes up in about 15 seconds. That panic button tells
you how you might want to act towards a police officer
when being detained, particularly for a DUI. What people
dont know is that theyre not required under the law to
take any tests. The app suggests that you ask the officer
why youre being detained and leave it at that, without
answering any questions. If they tell you they want you to
take a field sobriety test, you can say, Officer, Id prefer
not to take any tests. Of course, ultimately you have to
take a blood, breath or urine test, otherwise you lose
your license for 6 months, but when it comes to medical
the use of medical marijuana theres no standard of
proof that automatically makes you guilty, unlike alcohol.
Typically, they use they way you drove, why you got pulled
over, the field sobriety test or the statements that you
made about when you use and how often you use.
Those are the mistakes people often make, thinking
theyre going to talk their way out of it and typically they
put their foot in their mouth. Additionally, just because
youre a patient doesnt protect you.
EL: So one of the biggest things we have noticed
within my generation is the lack of awareness for the
pioneers who really brought forth the industry to
where it is today, you were one of those people.
Who are some the other people?
BRUCE: There were many of them, but what comes
to mind and many peoples mind is, Jack Herer. Ive
known him since the late sixties or early seventies. We
were buddies for many, many campaigns together.
Matter of fact, in this office we ran a campaign for
legalization back in the seventies. We had people all
over the place and Jack and I would hang out a lot. He
was, shall we say, a very boisterous personality and he
was very enthusiastic about the project. He lived on the
streets and really put himself out there, in the thick of
all it. He was also quite an entrepreneur and had quite
a few products and all kinds of ways to make money
to make a few bucks on the side. Him and I traveled
together; we went to many organizations and meetings
together. He used to come to the NORML meetings

and shake those up all the time. We used to do these


events at the Federal Building in Los Angeles, because
you have a right to demonstrate there. These events
were kind of a springboard for all of the festivals that
we have today about marijuana and all the aspects of
and products that surround it. Jack used to travel all
over the state and basically live in a van, but yet he had
a home base in Van Nuys and had children. He wrote a
very important book it, was called, The Emperor Wears
No Clothes. In the book, he studied and researched
what happened and how marijuana became illegal.
EL: Jack Herer was very eccentric. How was it working
with him and his eccentricities?
BRUCE: Let me tell you, in the beginning of this, when I
first met him he was a little bit hyper. He was, lets just
say, very explosive. Hed be yelling and screaming all
the time and he was very difficult in the meetings wed
have. Hed do his best to take over the meetings and
be very defiant. He was also very much against these
organizations, including NORML itself. He would come to
our meetings and disrupt them, but over the years he
calmed down. He realized the importance and value of
building a reputable organization, that speaks rationally
and intelligibly about the issue. His views were very
extreme in some ways, for me they were very real and
very right. Thats what the California Hemp & Health
Initiative (CHHI), also known as California Cannabis Hemp
Initiative (CCHI), which he basically wrote, includes many
things that I would like to see in our next initiative. Most
people refuse to think its going to be possible to pass.
EL: We think its most important that everyone know
their rights, know the laws, and just be aware. A lot of
people dont know that they actually charge you by total
weight, not grams or milligrams in marijuana edibles.
BRUCE: The Federal court, defines the drug as a
substance containing marijuana. That means you
can have a pound of chocolate and a gram of weed,
and youre going to be charged with a pound of weed.
In California, we dont have that; so thats why theyre
unable to prosecute edible cases.
Kamala Harris is our Attorney General in California, who
should be writing new guidelines. Senate bill 420 states
that, the Attorney General of the state, should write
guidelines as to how the law should be interpreted. Jerry
Brown wrote these in 2008, but since that Kamala
Harris had not been able to come up with new guidelines.
She claims she wrote a letter to legislature, in 2011,
asking them to clarify medical marijuana laws; including
the formation and operation of marijuana dispensaries,
the definition of profit, and concerns about edibles.
EL: A lot of people dont know that marijuana Schedule I
drug and it has no medical benefit benefits, according to
the Federal Government. How long do you think its really
going to take federal government to change that?
BRUCE: Unfortunately, we just had a ruling by a federal
judge where we thought that person was going to finally
say, its an irrational claim; that there are no medical
benefits. Sure enough, they sucked it up and voted for
the government again. So, I dont know how long its
going to take and I dont know why theyre holding on to
this; except that behind-the-scenes is the pharmaceutical
companies. They dont want to legalize marijuana,
because youre not going to use the Advil, youre going to
be smoking a joint.

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Las Vegas, NV - Vendors and attendees showed up on May 15th-17th
for the first ever HempCon Las Vegas at the Cashman Center.
Alleged rumors circulated before the event about the potential of
undercover cops checking out the event Friday and Saturday, planning
to make their drug trafficking arrests by Sunday.
Our team drove up to the Cashman Center with only an hour left in the
show for Friday, only to find police arresting vendors and confiscating
product as well as personal supplies of medicine from exhibitors.

Other edible vendors we interviewed conceded that iBudtender had


advertised they would be able to sell product at their booths, stating to
them, Why wouldnt it be like any other Hempcon?
According to law enforcement HempCon had communication with
not only Las Vegas Metro Police and officials from the citys business
license agency, prior to the actual event date. When Dabs Magazine
contacted HempCon for a statement, Tony Z., Senior Business
Relations, refused to comment and directed them to HempCons
official statement:
We deeply regret the unfortunate police activity during Las Vegas

ran a story on Sunday evening immediately following the event. The
next day, Collins and Beutern we released without on their own
recognizance without retaining bail for the felony charges

The Medical Marijuana Establishment Program in Nevada


supervises caregiver licenses in Nevada. It is one of the few states
that has a designated a body of government to oversee cannabis
industry licensing. It is legal to be a patient and have a licensed
dispensary in Las Vegas; it is not legal to sell cannabis without a
state-issued dispensary license. Although the state of Nevada
acknowledges reciprocity, (they accept out-of-state marijuana
doctors recommendations), it is still a Schedule 1 drug Federal, which
prohibits the transport of medicinal cannabis across state lines.

O.PEN VAPES

Infused Edibles team members said they were wary of the legal
situation and did not originally bring in their cannabis infused THC
products. An iBudtender staff member, approached them inquiring
as to why they did not have medicated products at their booth.
They said that they were encouraged to vend their products, and
they were assured there would be no legal consequences. Beuter
and Collins brought out their THC edibles and concentrates. Shortly
thereafter, they were arrested and all products were seized.

This event comes one month after the infamous 420 High Times
Recreational Cannabis Cup in Denver, where all vendors were issued
a letter from law enforcement just days before the event, stating
that if any cannabis was to be sold at Denver Mart (the official 420
Cannabis Cup location), they would be Federally indicted and lose
their marijuana licenses. Currently, licensed Colorado dispensaries
are only legally allowed to sell cannabis at their state sanctioned
locations. Yet, regardless of some vendors selling cannabis at the
cup anyway, no raids or DEA arrests took place.

Whoever is at fault, it is clear the cannabis industry is still a operating


in the gray. We admonish our readers to be wary and extremely
careful while traveling with cannabis products, whether domestically
or internationally. Laws vary state-to-state and country-to-country,
and until cannabis is fully legalized and re-scheduled in the United
States, we must comply with local, state, and federal regulations to
avoid any legal ramifications. Additionally, we encourage you to vote
in November 2016 to help facilitate cannabis reform in your state!

THE DEA IS
DE-FUNDED

PAUL FIMBRES
STAFF EDITOR
While plenty of states have begun to recognize the benefits, the
Federal government cant seem to get their story straight on
medicinal marijuana. In the United States, the Executive branch of
the government, through the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA),
labels marijuana as a Schedule I drug. A Schedule I classification
means that the government recognizes marijuana as a drug,
but believes the drug has zero valid medicinal uses and cannot
be accessed by the public. Changing the Schedule of a drug is an
extremely long and complicated process, a process in which the
DEA is obligated to oppose the rescheduling of any Schedule I drug.
This, of course, contradicts established information that has been
accepted across the world and scientific community.
Instead of addressing this problem head-on, both the US Senate
and House of Representatives have independently introduced
measures calling for the defunding of DEA efforts to oppose Stateapproved medicinal marijuana projects and efforts in 2016. As
always in American politics, the biggest motivator behind the U.S.
Senate Appropriations Committees decision seems to be based
on following where money and popular opinion are. Costing tens of
millions of dollars per year, DEA raids on state-sanctioned medical
cannabis distributors have proven to be an extremely unpopular
decision with the general public and voting constituents. Rather than
enacting the entire rescheduling process, defunding enforcement
serves to send a message that going after people with legitimate
medical issues is not a good use of government money.
Now, these recommendations dont guarantee that the funding
cuts will go into effect. Until a final budget has officially been passed
across both houses and approved by President Obama, these steps
are merely preliminary negotiations and agreements. However,
things look bright for patients looking to medicate safely without
harassment from the Federal government in 2016, as historically
budget agreements that have approval in both the House and
Senate tend to come out of the budget negotiations mostly intact.
These measures will have to re-enacted annually if they pass, but
every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single footstep.
