Lately, we have been receiving fan mail & patient experiences. We decided to add
our Dear Editor Section. We urge readers to share their experiences on the road
to legalization. Please feel free to email us (info@edibleslist.com) any questions,
comments, concerns or stories that you would like to make our readers aware of.
Cheers & Happy Medicating! The EL Team
Dear Edibles,
We are avid pot enthusiasts, who happen to be females (fully capable of rolling our
own blunts) and can without a doubt smoke most of your readers under the table.
I would like to tell you the experience that I had on a recent trip up & down the west
coast. My roommate and I decided to embark on a journey, later deemed, The Best
DUI EVER! As we set out on this excursion, we had no idea what the Pot Gods would
have in store for us.
Our mission: CannaCon 2015 in Seattle, Washington. Sheer panic set in north of the
Bay Atrea as we realized the medicine we brought was not going to last long. Alas,
what would any patient do?! Search for the next available dispensary, which happened
to be in Mt. Shasta, California.
After our detour, we returned to the I-5 to continue our excursion. We were about 10
minutes down the road when we hear the worst noise while driving, Woop Woop
accompanied by a cluster of strobe lights, red & blue strobe lights.
Hi, ladies do you know why I pulled you over?
No Sir, I wasnt speeding, I softly replied.
Youre not allowed to have tinted windows in California, he said.
Really, Mr. Policeman? You had to pull me over on this fine day because I have tinted
windows? It couldnt possibly be because two of your colleagues are outside of the
dispensary we just left nope, definitely not that.
They pulled me out of the car and informed me I was going to be given a field sobriety
test. The same sobriety test they use for alcohol just curious how do you use the
same measure for whether or not my judgment is impaired from alcohol & pot ,if they
exhibit different symptoms?
I was told to stand on one foot and count; apparently they were measuring my balance.
Needless to say I failed, it was 40 and Im from SoCal, wearing a tank top and flip-flops.
I was cuffed and told I was going to get blood drawn. I told them I am a habitual user of
medical cannabis so it would absolutely show up in my system. They were fully aware
and vocal about the blood test not being able to show when the last use was and even
later told me that the whole case would be thrown out and all I had to do is fight it.
Ultimately, it was a monumental waste of time and to add insult to injury, the
arresting officer was professing his personal view on the legalization of marijuana,
It should just be legal by now, I dont know why it isnt but until then we have to do
things like this.
I was not speeding or driving recklessly or even HIGH and pulled over for something
completely unrelated to marijuana. I have a painfully high tolerance yet, I was told I was
unable to operate a vehicle (they let my roommate drive the car away, who smoked
when I had).
Five hours later we were again pulled over in Oregon, this time no arrests but ALL
of our medicine was confiscated, in a state that has passed legalization. The cop
professed his support of marijuana - thats 2 for 2. Moral of the story: even the cops
think pot should be legal. Why as I patient am I not allowed to take my medicine to
another state where it is legal? People can take percocets from state to state. Maybe
one day we will be able to come out of the dark and be treated like other medical
patients. Until then, I guess we are condemned to hiding away.

Instructions:
Melt cannabutter with the canna olive oil in a large skillet over medium
heat, and cook the onion just until it begins to brown, about 8 minutes;
stir in the potatoes and carrot, and cook until tender, about 15 minutes,
stirring occasionally. Stir in the cubed corned beef, parsley, thyme, salt,
and pepper. Let the mixture cook until hash is crisp and browned, stirring
often, 10 to 15 more minutes.
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Melt the unsweetened chocolate in
a cup or small bowl in the microwave. Stir at 15 second intervals until chocolate is smooth. Allow to cool slightly. Transfer to
a large bowl, and stir in the cannabutter and sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Stir
in the flour just until blended. Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven until the surface appears dry and the sides are beginning to pull away from the edges of the pan,
20 to 25 minutes. The brownies may look more like cake and may jiggle slightly in the center- this is normal. Remove from
the oven and cool in the pan set over a wire rack. To make the middle layer, beat 1/2 cup of cannabutter with confectioners
sugar in a large bowl using an electric mixer. Add milk as needed to get a spreadable consistency. Stir in the peppermint
extract and green food coloring. Spread this over the cooled pan of brownies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes
In a microwave-safe bowl, microwave chocolate chips with the cannabutter until melted. Stir every 20 seconds until chocolate
is smooth. Stir in vanilla and then pour over the chilled brownies and quickly spread to cover the surface. Cool again until firm,
about 10 minutes, then cut into squares and serve.

Calvin Broadus, Jr., otherwise known as Snoop Dogg,
announced that he plans to raise and then invest $25 million for
startups in the booming cannabis industry. Snoop previously has
invested in companies such as web giant Reddit and the stocktrading service Robinhood.
Tech Crunch reported that Snoops investment will not be directly
dealing with the cultivation and selling of cannabis, it will include
startup ventures and industry technology. We think Snoops
not just blowing smoke about his plans, he is known for his
expertise in this field thus, giving him the hands on knowledge for
successfully investing in this market. There are few people more
knowledgeable on the subject of cannabis.
It is encouraging to see leaders from a wide range of
industries enter the this booming market by investing and
working together to shift negative perspectives into financial
boons and cultural norms.
Now that cannabis has received its public spotlight, people are
lining up to invest and fund businesses in this industry, thus giving
it the chance it deserves in our society. Snoops investment is
another stepping stone that is helping cannabis and cannabis
companies gain the exposure and stability they need. One thing
for certain is that Snoop Dogg will certainly put his expertise on
the subject to good use.

Several years ago I was approached by a
food entrepreneur, he was getting ready
to demo and sell his line of shelf stable
marijuana infused beverages at a Hemp
festival. He wanted to make sure that he
had made the product properly and followed
all the sanitation guidelines. I looked at his
bloated sealed bottles of marijuana infused
juice and asked him what his pH was and his
time/temperature thermal process. I got a
blank stare in return. The entrepreneur told
me he figured the unknown amount of citric
acid he had added to his batch was enough
to preserve it and make it safe.
Having spent the last 18 years working
in the food industry, I can tell you that
Food safety is the #1 priority by both food
manufacturers and government regulators.
Our food supply is closely monitored by the
FDA, the USDA, as well as local and state
health departments. The laws are strict but
they are there to protect us from getting
sick and protect our food from spoiling and
going to waste. Unfortunately, these federal
agencies do not monitor the production of
marijuana infused food products and the
food makers have been left to figure out
food safety for themselves. To the novice,
food safety usually just means washing your
hands or keeping hot foods hot and cold
foods cold. The creation of food products,
especially shelf-stable food products such
as cookies, candy and beef jerky is far more
complex and involves understanding how

Following in the steps of Colorado,
Washington, Alaska, and Oregon, the
District of Columbia defied threats from
Congress, and legalized the recreational
use and possession of cannabis on
Thursday, March 5th, 2015, thus
becoming the first territory east of the
Mississippi River to legalize marijuana.
Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser, who
took office in January, said it was her
duty to implement the initiative city voters
approved overwhelmingly in November.
The new law went into effect despite lastminute maneuvers by Republican leaders
in Congress and threats that city leaders
could face prison time.
This is a major milestone on the road to
ending marijuana prohibition in the United
States, said Robert Capecchi of the
Marijuana Policy Project, which advocates
for legalization. If the president can brew
and drink beer in the White House, adults
should be allowed to grow and consume
a less harmful substance in their houses.
In DC, possession of up to 2 ounces of pot
for use at home is now legal, and people
are also permitted to grow up to three
mature plants. Smoking marijuana in
public remains illegal, as does buying or
selling the drug.
Two days prior to DCs initiative going
through, Alaska also implemented a voter
initiative legalizing the private use, sharing
and cultivation of recreational pot, but
lawmakers there wont implement the
next phase creating a regulated market
where legal marijuana can be sold and
taxed until 2016 at least.
The Districts initiative was approved by 65
percent of the voters in November 2014.
The initiative only addressed personal
possession, not taxation or regulation.
While DC leaders acknowledge that
Congress blocked any effort to implement
a legal marijuana market, they believe
Congress acted too late to stop legalization
for private use.
