TALKING TOPICALS
with Gar
Gar Souders, cannatopics.com
Hi Lucy, The young man at the dispensary was probably your budtender,
and was very knowledgeable. The edible that you are currently using
supplies your body's CB-1 system with cannabinoids, but only topicals
affect the body's CB-2 system. By using both edibles and topicals, you
are nourishing the body's entire cannabinoid system. Try massaging an
infused cream on bruised, painful or inflamed areas for added relief.
Dear Gar, I played football for years and then became a floor man.
Needless to say, I get a lot of knee pain. Do you know of any topical
product that I can get to help? It has to be something I can use at work.

Hi Paul, Try a strong topical in a stick form. The stick can be carried in
your pocket, ready for use as needed. The beeswax often used in topical
sticks will cause the medicine to better stay where you apply it.

Canada to Legalize
Cannabis for Adult-Use
by July 2018, Canada Day
B. Le Grand
In December of last year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, said he
was not legalizing marijuana to please those who smoke it, rather
he wanted the law not to be broken because of it or that criminal
organizations should not profit from it. Canadas government is
expected to propose legislation this month that will, if adopted,
lead to the full adult-use legalization of cannabis by July 1, 2018. It
will broadly follow the recommendation of a federally appointed
task force that was chaired by former liberal Justice Minister
Anne McLellan. The provincial governments will decide how the
marijuana is distributed, sold and will set the price.
Bill Blair, the former Toronto police chief who has been leading the
cannabis legalization project for Trudeaus government, briefed
the Liberal caucus on the roll-out plan and the legislation during
caucus meetings this weekend.
In a summit in Toronto last year, Trudeau said that he had two
guiding principles in his initiative to legalize pot that focused
on reducing harm as opposed to maximizing benefits to cut
down on underage access to marijuana and to reduce criminal
activities that have surrounded the illegal marijuana trade. "I have
no doubt that Canadians and entrepreneurs will be tremendously
innovative in finding ways to create positive economic benefits
from the legalization and control of marijuana, but our focus
is on protecting kids and protecting our streets," Trudeau said,
according to the Time.
People are right now breaking the law, Trudeau told the Toronto
Star. We havent changed the laws. We havent legalized it yet.
Yes, we got a clear mandate to do that. Weve said we will. Weve
said were going to do it to protect our kids and to keep the money
out of the pockets of criminals."
The spread of storefront dispensaries in Toronto has clearly made
the prime minister worried. Its a situation that is frustrating
and I can understand peoples frustration on this, Trudeau said,
according to the Star.
Included in the recommendations, is a separation of powers
between the federal, provincial and municipal governments,
which all will have a stake in the cannabis economy and the tax
revenue it is expected to generate.
According to those briefed on the plan, the federal government
will control the licensing of cannabis growers. Medical cannabis
producers are currently licensed by Health Canada, and they
distribute medicine to patients through the mail. Adult-use
distribution systemswhether by mail, delivery, or in retail stores
will be established by the provinces, which will also possibly
control a provincial cannabis tax.
Federal authorities will set a minimum purchasing and possession
age of 18, but each province will have the ability to set a higher age
limit if it so chooses. It is uncertain whether or not existing medical
cannabis dispensaries, which are not currently licensed, will be
grandfathered into the new system or allowed to apply for federal
and provincial licenses. Canadians will also be free to grow up to
four marijuana plants per household.

Israel Decriminalizes
The Use of Cannabis
L.C. Squared
On Sunday, cannabis legalization took a big leap forward
as the Israeli Cabinet approved a proposal to decriminalize
cannabis use which was formulated by the Public Security
and Justice ministries. While smoking cannabis in public
is still illegal, first-time offenders will only face a fine
of at least $250 rather than criminal charges. A second
strike will double the fine to $500 while a third will have
the offender undergo rehabilitation and education as
well as a suspension of their drivers license. The fourth
will be the final straw as the offender will face charges
and possible incarceration. Money collected from the
fines will fund anti-drug education and rehabilitation. If
minors are caught using cannabis, they would only face
a criminal investigation if they refuse to partake in the
treatment program.
The reform was headed by Public Security Minister
Gilad Erdan who said that the arrest policy was
reexamined due to global legalization efforts. He
deemed the cabinet approval as, an important step on
the way to implementing the new policy that will put
emphasis on explaining and treating rather than on
criminal enforcement," which reinforces his declarations
in January that criminal prosecution should only be a
last resort. The chairwoman of the Committee of Drug
and Alcohol Abuse, Tamar Zandberg, applauded this
measure by saying, this is an important step, but not
the end of the road. It sends a message that the millions
of Israelis who consume marijuana arent criminals. We
will carry on following the details in the committee and
ensure that the change is implemented.
Israels cannabis industry has been backed by the
Ministry of Health whose ultra-Orthodox leader has
encouraged its research and innovation. While there may
have been only a few dozen users of medical marijuana
a decade ago, today there are approximately 25,000

The citizen-sponsored initiative prohibits growing
cannabis in residential zones, authorizes and
regulates medical marijuana dispensaries, and
limits commercial cultivation sites to industrial
and manufacturing zones with a permit issued
by the city. Opponents said the measure doesnt
do enough to protect the community, while the
supporters said Measure U will provide oversight
and transparency.
