FROM THE EDITOR
As always, advocacy and activism plays an important role over at Edibles List. I had the
privileged opportunity to participate in local advocacy last month. For this issues Letter
From the Editor, I wanted to share with you my letter to the Mayor of El Monte presented
at a City Council meeting in late September.
First and foremost, I would like to thank you for opening up the floor to discuss the possibility of licensing
medical cannabis businesses in the city of El Monte.
My name is B. Le Grand and I am the CEO and President of Edibles List, LLC, a Los Angeles-based business.
I run an educational magazine and several medical cannabis websites and events.
I have seen the many changes occur in the cannabis industry over the last 7 years. Most importantly, weve
seen progress, acceptance, licensing, taxation and the overall evolution of the only new industry since the tech
industry, established less than 30 years ago.
I started my company with a need for information, and I began filling that gap with a Yelp-like website for
edibles in 2009. I quickly learned that there was a severe lack of education about cannabis and its known
medical benefits. There was no where to go for patients looking for real starting information when it came to
edibles and using cannabis for cancer and chemotherapy. So I launched Edibles Magazine to help educate the
growing cannabis community.
My magazine is now in 5 medical states with subscribers worldwide. What Ive seen in this industry is the
stabilization of the dispensary and manufacturing markets as well as economic benefits and improvements
to funding for local infrastructure. While Los Angeles is still figuring out their licensing structure, places like
Colorado have now sold just short of 1 billion dollars of legal cannabis last year, of which $135 million went to
taxes, and $35 million of that went to schools. Not only does cannabis provide and create an array of new jobs,
in Colorado crime went down nearly 20% since the legalization of cannabis.
Closer to home we have San Francisco, which has allowed for licensing to dispensaries for over a decade. In
2012, San Francisco reported an estimated $41 million in medical cannabis sales, of which $3.5 million went
to taxes, and this is before the marijuana dispensaries zoning recently opened up allowing for more pot shops
and before the sales tax rate went up.
While LA officials have shown its reluctance to open up licensing to marijuana businesses, between 20112013, $8.6 million dollars in marijuana taxes from dispensaries were taken in and reported by the city of Los
Angeles. Imagine what the overall tax revenue will be for the 6th largest economy in the world, let alone local
tax to the cities that open up licensing.
10
In the areas that have allowed licensing and dispensary storefronts, I consistently have dispensary managers
and owners testifying that the mandatory heightened security has cleaned up the streets and unwanted
trespassers, rather than attracting crime like some would believe.
While numbers and statistics may turn a skeptic into a believer, the most compelling arguments are the
success stories associated with cannabis. Many of the feature stories Ive highlighted in my magazine involve
EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
the extreme and almost overnight success with cannabis infused products and CBD (cannabidiol - a nonpsychoactive profile of the plant) for children, veterans, and cancer patients alike. Some of the most amazing
stories I have are:
Cannabis taking a 4 year olds 600 seizures a month (from Dravet Syndrome) down to 1 a week
Cannabis miraculously shrinking both benign and malignant brain tumors in innocent children
Cannabis allowing Veterans with PTSD to live a normal life
Taking my Uncles Lymphoma from Stage 4 terminal to complete remission
Nearly curing my 12 year old Huskys degenerative arthritis
Cannabis curing my beauticians dementia and other Uncles dementia
Cannabis personally helps my debilitating back pain, debilitating menstrual cycles and PTSD
The list goes on of success stories with cannabis. While we might not have the Federal green light on
cannabis medical studies, everyone in the cannabis industry has seen exactly what the medical benefits
are. Furthermore, while the government and DEA says there is no medical benefit to marijuana, the
Federal government currently issues federal medical marijuana to two patients, and has been from 1976
to today. Additionally, the Federal government owns the patent on CBD, domestically and internationally,
for cannabis as an antioxidant and as a neuroprotectant. That patent is licensed out to a pharmaceutical
company producing the test drug Epiodilex for epilepsy, which is soon to be released in the public markets,
but cant until cannabis gets rescheduled. The proof that there is medical benefit to cannabis is there.
And with all these facts and all this passion for cannabis and its benefits, I still cant get my own Veteran
father, with PTSD, diabetes, extremely bad heart health, blood clots in his lungs and in his legs, a hernia,
early onset dementia and more, to try CBD or any form of natural medical cannabis to help improve his
health. Until elected officials like yourselves begin to allow licensing and permitting for local dispensaries,
manufacturers and distributors, there will still be a stigma associated with cannabis, its production and its
medical usage.
While cannabis permitting will not be an easy task, it would be better to be a leader, setting an example on
this forefront, helping other municipalities understand that there is tax, economic, and health benefits to
medical cannabis.
I hope that I have made a compelling argument in considering the allowing of licensure in El Monte.
Understand that if El Monte moves forward with cannabis licensing, it will produce a domino effect in
Southern California. We have seen it work in places like Colorado, Arizona, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii,
and Alaska. Locally we know it works in places like San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Diego, Adelanto
and Desert Hot Springs. How much longer will it be before the rest of California jumps on the bandwagon?

U.S. Attorney
General
Says Cannabis is
NOT a Gateway Drug
LC Squared
The federal governments leading law enforcement official took a popular
anti-legalization fallacy to town by openly declaring that cannabis does
not open doors to try harder drugs. U.S. Attorney General Loretta was a
special guest speaker at a town hall for heroin awareness on Sept 20th in
Richmond, Kentucky where she discussed this issue with a group of high
school students. When a student asked her if she believed that recreational
use of cannabis would lead to opioid abuse, she responded, When we talk
about heroin addiction, we usually, as we have mentioned, are talking about
individuals that started out with a prescription drug problem, and then
because they need more and more, they turn to heroin. It isnt so much that
marijuana is the step right before using prescription drugs or opioids. She
also added, it is true that if you tend to experiment with a lot of things in
life, you may be inclined to experiment with drugs, as well. But its not like
were seeing that marijuana is a specific gateway.
To build on this argument, she stated earlier that the leading cause behind
the heroin epidemic is in fact, prescription drugs. When you look at
someone that, for example, has a heroin problem, it very often started with
a prescription drug problem. Something totally legal. Something in every
medicine cabinet. Something you can have prescribed to you in good faith
by a doctor, she said.
This is a remarkable turn of her views on cannabis since she was first sworn
into office in January of 2015 when she vocally declared her opposition
to marijuana legalization. Furthermore, her admission coincide with the
findings of the National Institute on Drug Abuse which states that the
majority of people who use cannabis do not go on to use other, harder drugs.
Further research and studies back her declarations in which the Journal of
the American Medical Association reports a 25% decrease of opioid related
deaths in states with cannabis legalization and that Monitoring the Future
found that more college students who are using cannabis have become less
reliant on painkillers.
With countless government sanctioned studies debunking the gateway
myth that demonized the plant for almost a century, this long awaited public
confirmation from one of our highest ranking law enforcement officials may
indeed be the closest thing yet to an official stamp of approval by the federal
government.

TALKING TOPICALS
with Gar Gar Souders
As topicals gain more notoriety, many people have questions
about how to get the most of their medicine. Gar Souders has
been researching the effects and formulations of cannabisinfused topicals for over a decade. He is here to help and
educate us with a little Q&A.
Dear Gar, I can't smoke and would like to find something in
addition to edibles that I could use for pain to help with my
severe neuropathy. Sheila, West Covina, CA
Hi Sheila, You are certainly on the right track. Topical preparations with
high dosages of both THC and CBD have been shown to have excellent
effects with neuropathy. Topicals are capable of relieving pain quickly,
as wellas improving blood flow to the area. Add a high quality lotion or
salve to the area and massage gently. Apply as needed for relief. Keep
using your edibles, but add a good infused topical lotion to your daily
care for pain management.
Hey Gar, My job requires a lot of detail, so I need to know if I
can use a topical without getting high at work.
Dale, Medford, OR
Hi Dale, I get that question a lot. A topical is not processed by the
body in the same way that it is by using edibles or smoking. Topicals
work via the body's natural CB2 receptors, which are responsible for
the anti-inflammatory effects of cannabis. CB2 receptors work to reduce
inflammation, whereas CB1 receptors control the psychoactive effect and
are not found externally on the body. That makes infused topicals a great
way to go for your pain relief at work or at home.

Ed wanted to make edible infusion simple and easy for everyone to enjoy and he has achieved
his goal. I tried it with a fruit smoothie and it took about 30 minutes for the effects to take place
with an enjoyable level of infusion. I also had it sprinkled on a cheese pizza while spending time
with Ed at his home in the Oakland area. The Stardust powders were so easy to use, sprinkle,
and appreciate, for the effectiveness of the product as well as the ease of the application. The
retail price will be at close to $5 pre-packet and they do have a case package with a number
of individual packets available to keep you on top of things. A big plus with Stardust is the
travel aspect, youll be able to pack and go with your Stardust tucked away in the secret places.
So when youd like to make it easy with a clean, well tested product that will mix with most
anything, use Stardust!

The innovation of Master Grower Ed Rosenthal has come forth with an exciting new edible.
Stardust is a powdered THC in 15 mg packets. Stabilized with nitrogen to remain fresh for over
a year, the THC powder can be mixed in most any food or drink. Coffee and tea are the most
convenient items for infusion, and that is what the packaging suggests. There is not a specific
flavor or taste to the Stardust, so sprinkle, mix, or blend it as you wish.

Obviously one of the perks of this job is to try all of the latest greatest products of this
amazing industry. Well chocolate is a constant staple on my taste buds, so reviewing
them has become like a second language for me. When I saw Nature Nurse, and all of
its packaging glory I knew I couldnt wait to try this brand. This deep dark chocolate
is all natural and 100% organic, which is what I love the most about it. I also love the
fact that you have a CBD option for those lovers of the plant who dont necessarily
like the psychoactive effects of cannabis, and it also has CO2 extract infused version
with THC for those who dont mind the effects at all. Everyone seems to walk away
happy from this amazing line of confections.
26
For me the best part of the product was that knowing that the entire package was only
75 mg. Micro dosing is becoming increasingly popular. I can eat a 1000 mg brownie in
one sitting and be down for the count the rest of the day, or I can slowly eat a piece of
Nature Nurse throughout the day and still be extremely productive. This product is
great for the elderly, children, veterans, and also for those suffering from debilitating
illnesses. It even gives you information about your endocannabinoid system to read,
right on the back of the package that everyone should know, but sadly, usually dont.
If that made you curious enough to seek out these products just to see what they say
and you end up buying them, then I not only have I done my job, but youre sure to
end up feeling happy too.

I recently had the opportunity to try out the Cannavis I recently had the opportunity to try out the
Cannavis Syrups in the 0.5FL OZ size test tubes, which each contain 50MG of THC. I wasnt totally sure
what to expect before tasting these. Theyre certainly titled correctly, as Syrups, because theyre thick,
sticky, and sweet. It looked like the kind of thing that would taste be the flavoring poured over shaved
ice and snow cones and thats exactly how it tasted with a semi-subtle cannabis aftertaste that was
not exactly unpleasant. This product is sugar free, gluten free, kosher, vegan, Non-GMO, and lab tested.
First I tried the Peach flavored syrup. Its strong tasting and very sweet. This might be a bit too
powerful on the palette for some users, and it really is quite a bit like drinking the Slurpee flavoring all
by itself. If you dont happen to have a snow cone machine on hand at home, the syrup can easily be
added to ginger ale, or any lemon-lime soda to help
tone it down. The effects are very nice. The relaxing
feelings come on slowly and in a time release
fashion, especially if you consume by sipping on a
cocktail instead of shooting the whole tube. I tried
the Blackberry flavor next, about two hours later.
Doubling the dose put me on the couch for the rest
of the evening and enabled me to mellow out and
enjoy a few hours of Netflix uninterrupted.
This was a top shelf chocolate bar, even without the cannabis.
Smooth and slow melting as all fine chocolate should be. The Casa
Luna bar is segmented into six 20mg pieces. Each piece is about
5 grams of chocolate and enough to medicate for a little over an
hour. Savory dark chocolate tang is followed by a minty cannabis
taste. This chocolate bar is almost reminiscent of Andes Mints
with a smoother texture. As a chocolate lover, my immediate
desire was to eat the entire bar. Personally experiencing menses
and slight dysmenorrhea (PMS) this was the perfect solution.
I am a big believer that mental stress can put further stress on
physical problems. I found this chocolate bar to lighten the
mental stress, almost balancing hormones and releasing tension
possibly both at the same time. This is my personal experience
at 55 early 30s, and 125 lbs. Dosage can always vary based on
the varying sizes of individual patients.
If youre an extremist, youll probably just do the test tubes as super sweet shots, and thats great.
If youre a bit more reserved when it comes to sweetness, Id recommend pouring it into soda over
ice, stirring it up, and enjoying the drink as you casually sip it. As it says right on the label: Lean
Back, and Relax.

The flavors I was delighted to try were Salted Caramel and Lemon Zest,
which is a vegan version. The creamy texture of the vanilla was wonderful
and the handmade salted caramel is one of the best Ive ever had. This was
infused for the cup at 15 mg and it was labeled in 5 mg increments. You
could taste the care in the making of this fine dessert and I was excited to
taste the vegan Lemon Zest. The list of ingredients for this frosty vegan
treat are: coconut milk, coconut cream, agave nectar, lemon juice, vanilla
paste, cannabis extract, vanilla extract, lemon zest, salt, and guar gum. The
Salted Caramel contents are: milk, cream, sugar, dairy blend (whey, milk
protein, fat free dry milk), unbleached flour, palm oil, cannabis extract,
vanilla extract, cocoa, and chocolate. They also have 75 mg cup sizes and
Im looking forward to trying the Cookies and Cream, and the Honey

Jerry Garcia would light up the clouds over these candies. These sugary fluff ball gummies will
put your head in exactly the right spaces. The sweetness hits first, as the taste experience begins
sinking in and the light fruit flavor with overlapping floral hints from the cannabis CO2 oil blend
together to make this a delightfully medicated treat. A mellow and easygoing high lasting at least
3-4 hours can be expected per single, 20 gram weight, 25mg THC gummy bear. The tapioca base
of this edible makes it the chewiest of textures and distances its taste from the gooey density of
something like Swedish fish. Prepare to delve into a magically creative mood, productive and
artistic, as well as making already enjoyable tasks even more pleasurable: like gardening, music,
reading and movies. I went for a Sunday walk enjoying nature in the park and stretching through
some minor neuropathy I have in my feet. Napping was also appealing, and thats always better
on a Sunday. Bears on Clouds are a simple, sweet, and convenient way to enjoy your medicine.

420 GAMES
LC Squared
On Saturday, September 24th and October 1st, Colorados Denver and
Boulder will both play host to the newly innovated 420 Games, which is
a series of athletic events held to dispel the myth of cannabis users being
nothing but lazy stoners, and to show they are capable of using said drug
to lead healthy, active, and responsible lives. Prior to its move to Colorado,
the 420 Games have been held in California and Washington, and theyll
make their way to Oregon in late October. Participants can reserve a spot
to partake in a 4.20 mile fun run around scenic areas alongside hundreds if
not thousands of other fellow cannabis users. However, participants will be
asked not to smoke cannabis or eat edibles on the day they participate as it
is designed to be a family friendly event.

Sauce:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons barbeque sauce
5 cloves garlic, cut into small pieces
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 50 minutes
Ready In: 1 hour 10 minutes
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease the foil.
Mix ground beef, onion, crackers, milk, Cheddar cheese, eggs, canna-olive oil Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt together in a bowl.
Transfer beef mixture to the prepared baking sheet and form into a skull-shape, leaving holes for "eye sockets" and a "mouth". Place hard
boiled egg halves into the "eye sockets", shaping the beef mixture around them to hold in place.
Mix ketchup, brown sugar, and barbeque sauce together in a bowl until sauce is smooth. Spread 1/2 of the sauce onto the entire beef
mixture, including the "eyes" and "mouth".
Bake in preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 50 to 60. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should
read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
Arrange the garlic pieces in the mouth for the "teeth". Brush the remaining sauce over the meatloaf or serve on the side.

In many new cases in the media, we are seeing veterinarians
and emergency room doctors counting their arising weekly
intakes of overdoses on cannabis infused edibles. In each
story they say, Theres nothing that can be done. We
are here to let you know that this is not true, something
absolutely can be done. Cannabidiol (CBD) is a known
tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) inhibitor, which means that a
CBD dose can be administered to any patient or any that is
feeling too high. No matter where you stand or how you
feel about the cannabis plant, the medical research shows
definite evidence of THC metabolizing at a different rate
when cannabidiol was administered.
In 1996 a study was conducted by the Department of
Pharmacy, at the University of California, San Francisco
determining that cannabidiol inhibited the metabolization
of
tetrahydrocannabinol
and
cyclosporine
(an
immunosuppressive drug used to prevent the rejection of
grafts and transplants), in mouse and human microsomes.
The study found that cannabidiol selectively decreased THC
levels in human cells, specifically the group of metabolizing
enzymes in the human liver. Another study was conducted
early last year in January of 2013 that found CBD inhibited
paranoid and psychotic symptoms in human test subjects
when administered prior to dosing intravenous THC.

can be done for your dog that accidentally ate your roach,
hash, or brownie. Cannabidiol or high CBD oils, including
extractions from the legal hemp plant are available at your
local cannabis dispensary or you can purchase sublingual
products online and have it shipped to you for your medicine
cabinet.
The dosing for a pet or a dog will not need to be nearly as
high for a human, but its important to spread the word and
knowledge about this so that eventually veterinary offices
and hospitals have cannabidiol on hand as the antidote for
a THC overdose. There are many CBD drops available at
shops and legally online. HempMeds Px makes an affordable
sublingual tincture called Cibdex, which usually runs about
$30. Valley Hi in Woodland Hills, Calif. carries it, so do many
other shops.

Decriminalize
Cannabis
LC Squared
Tennessee has taken its first
progressive step in which the capital
city of Nashville has finally passed
a decriminalization measure for
cannabis possession. The Metro
Council voted 35-3 to give the
approval of legislation that allows
police officers the option of giving
offenders who possess half-an-ounce
or less a more lenient civil penalty
which includes a $50 fine and 10 hours
of community service.
