Greetings my friends,
We’re now well over a month
into the first year of Legalized
Adult Recreational Cannabis Use
in California, and what can i say?
It’s weird and we aren’t sure how
we feel about it. There aren’t a lot
of shops left and the edibles are
getting weaker. There’s an extra
45% in new taxes and many of
everyone’s favorite brands are gone,
on hold or underground. This is the
Legalization Issue and we’re joined
in covering what’s happening with
the always enigmatic Charlo Greene.
We joined Ms Greene in DTLA on
the night of the extremely rare Super
Blue Blood Moon, (the meet-up of
a Blue Moon, super-moon and total
lunar eclipse). She’s got a 2nd Season
of The Weed on the air and she’s got
a great new line up of guests joining
her every day.

Dennis Peron lost his battle with
cancer at age 72 on January 29th,
2018 and the cannabis world had to
mourn one of our most important
pioneers. It’s sad to see a legend pass
and the work he did for patients

advocacy will never be forgotten.
We also cover The Top 10
Innovations and Inventions Using
Hemp and the History of Cannabis
in Kazakhstan. Our own Siouxsie
Q was in Las Vegas for The AVN
Awards and let us know just what
was going on there when it came to
cannabis and edibles.
It’ll be interesting to see what the
future brings. Four twenty is only
a couple of months away and we
aren’t sure what will be allowed yet
so it’s hard to say exactly what we’ll
be doing in mid-April. Keep reading
this magazine to know for sure.
We’ve also got product reviews of
some truly new innovative ways of
medicating and it is fascinating to
see what science keeps coming up
with. The same great recipe section
is here as always and this time we’ve
included how to make cannabis
butter at home to help you infuse
your foods perfectly.
We just got back from San Francisco
and this month we’ll be back in
Hawaii for The Hawaii Cannabis
Expo. Cheech and Chong will be
there too so we’re extra excited. It
has been interesting to see the vast
differences between San Francisco
and Oakland in The Bay, and what’s
happening in Los Angeles. In The
Bay there are lots of legally licensed
adult shops with lines going out the
door and it’s a totally different vibe.
As always, smile at your budtender,
tip your delivery driver, and know
your dose.

possibilities.”

The Birthplace of Cannabis: Kazakhstan’s Chuy Valley
Jack Paradise
The heartland
of cannabis in
Kazakhstan is the
Chuy Valley, lying in
between Kazakhstan
and its neighbor
Kyrgyzstan. The
Chuy Valley is a
large valley located in north Tian-Shan. It extends
from Boom Gorge in the east to Muyun Kum Desert
in the west. The valley has an area of around 32,000
square kilometers, and borders Kyrgyz Ala-Too in
the south, and the Chu-Ili mountains in the north.
It is estimated that up to one million acres of wild
cannabis grows there, accounting for around one
third of the available fertile soil and over 10% of
the total area of the valley making it the largest
cannabis field in the world. Chu River is the major
stream of the valley which helps make it all possible.
Cannabis in the Chuy Valley can be dried and
smoked in the regular fashion, or may be processed
into hashish known as ruchnik, which translates to
made by hand, made by rubbing the leaves between
the hands in order to collect the resin. The resin is then
scraped off the fingers, pressed and molded to form
sticky, dense hashish, and packed into matchboxes
to be sold. The hashish is renowned for its potency,
and has occasionally been known to make it as far as
Europe where it is often mislabeled as being made
in Pakistan, although the majority is destined for
sale in Russia as well as the Central Asian region. It
has yet to gain popularity or to make its way into
the US. Merkhet Sharipzyanov, writing for Radio
Free Europe/Radio Liberty, published the following
unusual story about the traditional production
method for this particular locally made product:
“The most concentrated
and popular form of
marijuana is so-called
"plastilin" (plasticine),
and the way it is harvested
Edibles Magazine Issue 42
and produced has not
changed for centuries.
It begins with a freshly showered person riding
naked for hours on a clean, washed horse inside a
two-meter-high "forest" of marijuana. Afterwards,
the human body and that of the horse are covered
with a thick layer of resin mixed with sweat.”
Although a fascinating tale, and one of the more

interesting methods of extracting and manufacturing
concentrate, this story has been hard to verify and
there wasn’t much more information to support
it. Of course, that doesn’t mean it isn’t true, but it
doesn’t seem to be depicted much at all in artwork
or folklore that can be found.
The primary birthplace of cannabis, Kazakhstan
enjoys a vibrant culture of cultivation and use, as
well as abundant wild growth of cannabis. As the
homeland of cannabis, the large and diverse Central
Asian gene pool could be of huge importance in
research as it may provide clues as to the plant’s
early evolution and development. Furthermore, the
sturdy, two meter tall Kazakhstani type is an ideal
backbone for breeding high quality indoor genetics,
and throughout the world, we are losing these land
races at an alarming rate to habitat fragmentation,
eradication, and the introduction of foreign genetics.
Cannabis is illegal in
Kazakhstan under the

public health and state security. Prison in Kazakhstan
should be avoided at all costs. Dozens of prisoners
across Kazakhstan have injured themselves to
protest against prison conditions and their treatment.
Kazakhstan may have a long and rich history of
cannabis cultivation but the lingering effects of the
Soviet Union make it difficult for anyone in the area
to benefit much in any way without serious risks
and consequences. Riding horses naked through
fields of wild cannabis to make hash is probably

to their advantage they could have one of the most

 CANNABIS COMMUNITY

Fat Flower Media

Siouxsie Q

Milcah Halili and April Flores are on a mission to

make the mindful use of cannabis more accessible
to minority communities, which is why they
founded Fat Flower Media last year, a blog aimed
to help minorities grow beyond the glass ceiling
with the use of medical cannabis.

“We are a queer couple of color,” says Hilali. “April

is from the Mexican community, I’m Filipino.”
The couple spoke to me on speaker phone while
driving down the freeway. Flores is a Los Angeles
native and Hilali is from the Bay Area.

We talked about the necessity of the cannabis

industry to have a reparationaist agenda and
prioritize entrepreneurs from communities who
have been disproportionately affected by the war
on drugs. Fat Flower Media amplifies products
and services that share the values that the couple
believe in, which include cultivating a minimal
carbon footprint, investing in an inclusive and
diverse community, and limiting the use of harsh
chemicals.

Fat Flower Media also aims to educate their

readers about the healing properties of cannabis,
especially surrounding trauma associated with
the aggressions and micro-aggressions that queer
people of color face regularly.

The real life couple, who met while working

in the adult industry, say they fostered their
relationship while using cannabis medicinally
and recreationally together. Much of their blog is
devoted to how cannabis can enhance connection
and intimacy with a partner--from practical advice
such as, “Cannabis can help with lack of appetite
and can prevent fights,” to recommendations for
a sweet stoney date night with joints on the beach,
a shared edible, and some infused lubricant.

Fat Flower was founded on the belief that you can

be your best self “while being high as fuck” on
high quality cannabis, and the picturesque power
couple behind the blog are living proof of just that.

 FEATURED STORY
Dennis Peron, Patient Advocate, Cannabis Activist,
Father of Prop 215, Passed Away Following Legalization
Jakki Hernandez
On Saturday the Medical Cannabis industry lost
another relentless advocate. Dennis Peron, 72 lost
his battle with cancer on January 29th, 2018 sending
social media into a spin as every person that
either knew him or admired him shared touching
messages of how Dennis positively impacted their
lives. In the cannabis industry Peron is an icon.
Dennis was one of the pioneers in recognizing the
health benefits of cannabis directing the public to
begin seeing the plant as the medicine it was. He
was the first to highlight its medicinal benefits in
the early 80s during the Aids epidemic. His story
is one of heroism from being a vet to advocacy
pushing for medical cannabis freedom in San
Francisco. Dennis Peron not only co-wrote Prop
215 he was the also the 1st in the nation to open up
a public marijuana dispensary. Without the efforts
of Dennis Peron, we would not have had medical
cannabis in California, which later paved the way
for Prop 64 adult use in California. In order to get
to know the legend, its important we recognize
his path.
Prior to starting his infamous cannabis crusade in
San Francisco and teaming up with Harvey Milk
to protect gay rights, Peron was drafted in 1966
to serve during Vietnam. Once Peron arrived he
spoke of his military supervisors handing him
a gun, “I can’t take a gun, I close my eyes when I
shoot” he stated with no hesitation. That probably
had something to do with him continuing the rest of
his time in Vietnam serving with the United States
Air Force. His deployment ended up playing a
Edibles Magazine Issue 42
vital role in Peron learning and connecting with his
deepest secret. Peron recognized he was gay while
serving in the USAF. As he served he would fondly
look back at the month before he was deployed
where he visited San Francisco for the first time,
a town that actually accepted him for who he
was. Dennis promised himself he would return.
In a 2014 interview conducted by acclaimed
22 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
journalist Bruce Barcott, while sitting in front
of Castro District Peron declared, “I came to
San Francisco to find love and to change the
world.” “I found love, in my husband Jonathan
West, only to lose him through AIDS, together
we changed the world through legalization
of marijuana.” It was his love for both the gay
community and cannabis that he continued
to spread his wisdom even upon his battle
with cancer. Cannabis helped his then dying
husband with the side effects from Aids and
now it was helping him with his appetite and
pain levels due to cancer and in the beginning,
he believed it helped him with his depression.
There was always a medical connection to the
plant. His story with cannabis starts as his
deployment ends.
Peron once revealed he returned to the U.S
after his service with 2 lbs of cannabis strapped
in his military gear, little did he know that
was the start of him entering the California
cannabis culture. Shortly after arriving in San
Francisco he visited, Napa State Hospital for
his Psych studies, where he met patients that
were admitted there solely because they were
gay. Peron is quoted saying, “during this time
in our history, being ‘gay’ was practically
against the law”. Many of the patients at Napa
were admitted by the court or family members
to a hospital with insane asylum standards to
change them into heterosexual Americans.
Peron learned here upon speaking with many
of the patients who were suffering that their
symptoms were eased by the use of cannabis.
Peron felt a kinship with these patients, feeling
the stigma himself; being an Italian, church
going Veteran. He believed there should be
a place for people to obtain this medicine for
whatever ailed them. Peron believed every
cannabis user was a medical patient whether
or not they knew it.
Peron became a marijuana dealer after
returning from Vietnam to San Francisco
in 1969. In the 1970s, he ran the Big Top
marijuana supermarket out of his home where
met and developed a close relationship with
Harvey Milk, who would later become the
1st openly gay man elected into public office
in San Francisco, CA. In the 1970s, Peron

MAKING
EDIBLES
SUGAR-FREE
Rachel Zemser
M
ost edible products on the market are high
in sugar, like brownies, gummy candies,
cookies, cakes and caramel popcorn.
They are popular with both the developers and
dispensaries because the high sugar content allows
them to be sold and stored at room temperature.
However, as the variety and type of edible options
increase, buyers are searching for lower sugar
options so they can have their cannabis cake and
eat it too- and not throw off their blood sugar levels!
Unfortunately, healthier lower sugar foods like
vegetable smoothies, beef jerky, yogurt, and juice
all must be refrigerated and have a short shelf life.
Edible makers are searching for ways to create shelf
stable, diabetic friendlier baked goods with less
sugar.
D
evelopers have lots of alternative sweetener
options available to them. There are high
intensity sweeteners like stevia and monk
fruit, similar to sugar intensity sweeteners like sugar
alcohol and soluble fiber syrups and non-sweet
easily digestible bulking agents like maltodextrin.
All of these ingredients can be found online in bulk
or through specialty ingredient suppliers. They can
get pricey (versus the price of sugar) but they can
add sweetness to the product while allowing the
developer to lower the sugar content.
H W
igh intensity sweeteners include stevia,
monk fruit, sucralose, saccharin, and
aspartame. These are all 100-600X sweeter
than sugar and used in tiny amounts to add
sweetness to food products. Stevia and monk fruit
are natural and come from plants and are preferred
sweeteners in the natural food space. Because stevia
Edibles Magazine Issue 42
and monk fruit are so much sweeter than sugar, the
developer needs to use much less of it to flavor the
food item. If your cake recipe calls for 40% sugar, you
will only need about 1% stevia or monk to create a
similar sweetness. This presents a unique problem
of finding a way to add “bulk”—if your original
cake recipe has eggs, milk, sugar and flour- and you
22 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
remove the sugar, replacing it with a fraction by
weight of stevia, you need to somehow make up
the difference. This scenario would call for using
a maltodextrin, a bulking agent that is made of
easily digestible carbohydrates that have very little
sweetness. They act as the carrying agent. Some
companies sell their stevia already combined with
a maltodextrin already.
M
altodextrins are great bulking agents and
while they are not exactly a sugar, they
are high on the glycemic index scale so
they can still be problematic for diabetics. Bulking
ingredient alternatives include sugar alcohol or
soluble fibers like chicory root, inulin and inulin.
Sugar alcohols, also known as polyhydric alcohol
are natural sweeteners that are absorbed slowly
by the body and have almost no calories. They are
sold as mannitol, sorbitol, lactitol and erythritol.
These should be used and consumed with caution,
they can cause gas, stomach cramps and diarrhea
if consumed in large amounts. Soluble fibers are
high in fiber and low in sugar but have a slightly
sweet taste. They do have calories but their fiber
content portion is not as digestible and can be
better for those who are watching their glycemic
index.

 CALIFORNIA
TEXT HERE UPDATE
Everything That Is Wrong with California’s
Current Legal Cannabis System
B. Le Grand
Yes, cannabis is legal, but at what cost? Besides
small businesses being pushed out of the
industry and manufacturers not being able to
find licenses available in their municipalities,
the main things wrong with the California state
system is the tax structure, driving of the black
market, patients losing access to their medicine
and the end of cannabis events.
CANNABIS TAXES
A 15% excise tax doesn’t sound so bad, until
you do the math on the taxes added on to the
raw cost of goods before they got to the retailer.
Let’s take for example a 100mg edible. Prior to
2018 the wholesale rate on that type of cannabis
infused product was about $6. The shops then
doubled the cost and you have a 100mg edible
at $12 retail, with some shops having charged
their taxes on top and some shops factoring the
tax into the cost.
Now, under the current state laws, cannabis
is taxed at every stage in the game, 15% on
cultivation, 15% on manufacturing, and 15%
(“on an expected 60% markup”) on distribution
activities. That means if a micro-business
cultivates, manufactures and self-distributes,
vape product and edible makers must charge
45% tax to the retailer. If you just manufacture
and distribute the tax is 30% to the retailer. It's a
flawed tax system because no one knows who is
responsible to collecting each stage of taxation.
Furthermore, retailers always keystone their
markup, which is a 100% markup as opposed to
what the state is estimating a typical 60% markup.
Edibles Magazine Issue 42
With increased costs of licensing fees,
compliance, attorney’s fees, and most especially
new child-proof, resealable, tamper-evident,
and single packaged for each 10mg dose
requirements, it drives the cost of producing up
severely. That $6 100mg edible just became $7
at its best lowest possible cost before all taxes
46 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
involved.
We haven’t even gotten to the city, county, state
cannabis excise tax and state cannabis sales
tax, which all absolutely get charged to the
consumer at a legal adult-use cannabis store.
The exact tax rates vary from city to city and
county to county, but the range of additional
combined taxes out the door goes from 24-35%.
Let’s break it down so we can see
it in front of us clearly:
$7.00 edible 100mg wholesale X
45% to retailer = $10.15 with taxes
$10.15 X keystone pricing (double
from wholesale to retail) = $20.30
retail price before excise tax
$20.30 X state excise tax + city tax +
county tax + sales tax (averaging a
total of 29.75%) = $26.34
Let’s do the same math for a single
dose 10mg edible at it’s average
current cost:
$2.00 edible 10mg wholesale X
45% to retailer = $2.90 with taxes
$2.90 X keystone pricing (double
from wholesale to retail) = $5.80
retail price before excise tax
$5.80 X state excise tax + city tax +
county tax + sales tax (averaging a
total of 29.75%) = $7.53
I don’t know anyone that wants to pay $8 for
10mg. At that rate, it cost less to score opioid
prescription pills on the street.
While some democrats predict the average
increase of cannabis products to go up 45%
in the next year and level out down the road,
the math here clearly denotes a 200% increase in
what the consumer used to pay $14 out the door.
Literally half of the new $27 product goes to taxes.
Kiva Bars are a prime example which now cost $32
out the door for their 100mg bars which used to be
180mg. But what kind of market does that create if
all edibles are 100mg?
We can’t exactly be mad at taxes, everyone wants
their piece. Many, including ourselves foresee
taxation being lowered as we have seen occur in
the other legalized states over time. We’ve also seen
Colorado issue a tax refund to Colorado residents
for a surplus of cannabis taxes.
Tourism is a driving force behind the lines around
the block at legal adult-use dispensaries. While
out of towners don’t mind paying all the taxes and
increased prices, there is the rest of the population
who were patients before don’t have the funds for
the increased cost of their medicine. This leads us to
our next two points of how these increased prices
drive the black market and affect actual patients.
PATIENTS AND THE BLACK MARKET
Beyond the increased cost with taxes, there is almost
no benefit to going through the trouble of getting
your medical recommendation, state or county
card. The best the medical identifier gets you is 5%
off. The entire genesis of this program is based on
medical patients, so why would we tax cannabis as
medicine when opioids and prescription pills don’t
get taxed. Even in Colorado they offer a lower rate
for state registered medical patients, and in Arizona
they actually acknowledge it as a medicine and do
not tax medical cannabis sales.
Currently there is no difference in products if you’re
in an adult-use store, and all edibles are supposed
to be 100mg. While tinctures and capsules will
allow 1000mg max dosages for medical patients,
there are thousands of patients out there that have
found products and brands that worked for them
they have either already lost access to or are going
to lose access to. People with debilitating illnesses
that require high-dose edibles will find a way
to get their medicine regardless. Even Colorado
set their medical edible limits to 500mg. Making
your edibles will be the only option legally, which

CALIFORNIA UPDATE

will drive black market sales of high-dose
unlicensed products. Counties that have
issued bans are cutting off access to home-
bound patients as well.
With the California Emergency Regulations
dropping in late November, only allowing
a month and a half to get legal and licensed,
many producers and cannabis businesses
are scrambling to get their ducks in a row
or find a city that will offer a license. There
are 488 cities in California, less than 20 cities
have issued licenses.
That’s not a very strong foundation for a
legal cannabis adult-use market. It basically
puts a monopoly on adult-use sales for
the few cities that had the foresight to
enact regulations before the state did, like
San Francisco, Oakland, San Diego and
Sacramento. If you’re based in city or county
like Los Angeles or San Luis Obispo, you’re
for lack of a better term SOL (shit out of luck).
Many people who adhered to legal practices
under Prop 215 and SB 420 prior to 2017
are now faced with the reality of shutting
down their business and waiting until their
city issues official cannabis licenses or face
fines, misdemeanors and get blacklisted
for not being able to apply for a license.
Even Colorado and Oregon had longer lead
times to get the municipalities on board and
transfer to the new regulations. One and a
half months to get licensed and legal when
most cities were just waiting to see what the
state wanted so they could figure out what
their local government was going to do, is
just complete absurdity. We applaud the
state for pushing through legalization, there
may have been better ways to do it.
So now you have small business owners,
Edibles Magazine Issue 42
some who have been in the cannabis game
for 10-20+ years, who now don’t know how
they’re going to feed their families and pay
their bills or employees. Some shops are
losing business because they’re charging
taxes and customers would rather pay the
lower price regardless if a shop is legal

Current Legal Cannabis System cont'd
or compliant. Others are shutting down to
avoid the risk of losing the opportunity for
a license, while others are relocating their
businesses to entirely different cities hours
away just to get a license.
Which brings me to my next point about
finding a city allowing an event license.
THE END OF CANNABIS EVENTS
It’s as if the state threw in the event licenses
as a complete afterthought and rather than
leaving it gray they wanted to regulate and tax
events in this space. The fee for a state license
for cannabis events (1-10 per year) is $5,000,
but you must get a city to approve the event
in writing, and it must take place at a location
tied in with the Agricultural Association. In
short, that basically means cannabis events
can only happen on fairgrounds.
San Bernardino’s National Orange Show Event
Center was the most cannabis friendly venue in
Southern California, but with San Bernardino’s
recent ban on everything cannabis and no
potential for any legal cannabis microevent, it
puts legal cannabis events to an end.
Even if the fees were more accessible and
local municipalities were open to it, issuing
letters of approvals, the state laws require that
only retailers vend or distribute at a licensed
cannabis event. The reason anyone ever put
on cannabis events and bought booths was
because the manufacturer was getting directly
in front of the consumer, cutting out the middle
man and educating the patient directly about
their product. If a licensed cannabis event is
nothing but dispensary retailers, what’s the
point and what’s the difference between doing
that and just going to a bunch of licensed shops
(saving the drive to the fairgrounds)? To throw
insult to injury, there is only one location in
the Bay Area that will approve a cannabis
consumption event, and one in Victorville.

HEMP CBD PRODUCTS
Outlined in Prop 64, hemp CBD products are
defined as non-cannabis products. If that is
the case, then manufacturers would not be
allowed to produce hemp CBD products in the
same facility as a THC manufacturing facility.
Distributors aren't allowed to distribute hemp
CBD products, but yet there's a shortage on
the chain of supply currently, so we are seeing
licensed retailers selling hemp CBD products.
It becomes unclear who will be the one to fulfill
those orders after June 30th, 2018, following the
end of California's emergency regulation grace
period.
If the consumer can acquire hemp CBD
products from the health food store or any store
online, paying less sales tax and no marijuana
tax, what would be the incentive to buy a hemp
CBD product at a licensed cannabis retailer?
There are thousands of businesses that are
just dying to be legal and compliant but are
stuck between a rock and a hard place with
either city woes or lack of clarity from the state
guidelines. While the kinks will indeed be
worked out eventually, this is most certainly
the most uncomfortable time in the California
cannabis industry.
We were hoping that seeing what the other
states did would give Californians the best
advantage for creating the best cannabis legal
system, for arguably where the best cannabis
in the world is grown, sadly that's not the
case. What we do know from observing the
transition in other legal states, is that we are in
for a wave of continuous change for the next few
years, making it difficult and costly to comply.

CANNABIS STORIES
Sex, Candy & Cannabis
at the AVN Awards
Siouxsie Q
The Adult Video News Awards and the Adult Entertainment Expo, which take place
every January at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, is more than just the
largest gathering of adult industry fans and stars—for those of us who work in the
industry and attend year after year, it serves as more of a perpetual trial by fire that
is 20% convention, 25% family reunion, 40% senior prom, and 15% weird sex party.
The only way to survive the annual ordeal and come out unscathed by the infamous
“AVN flu” bug that claims dozens of new starlets each year, is to wash your hands
often, keep a stash of vitamin c gummy candies in your hotel room, and swap alcohol
for cannabis as much as possible.
While there are plenty of folks at these events who are happily sober, I personally
don’t recommend taking on such a behemoth of stimuli without a few medicinal
interventions, and now that recreational use has come to Nevada, cannabis products
are more accessible than ever in Sin City. For me, utilizing edibles, vapes, and good
old fashioned flower are important for mitigating the anxiety that often comes with
being around so many people, and topical CBD infused remedies help with the pain
associated with clomping around a convention floor in six inch heels for days on end.
I took the advice of thirty year adult film veteran Nina Hartley who told me
on the first day of the show how important it is to always walk to your next
location in flats and put heels on only once you’ve sat down to sign. I followed
her strategy as best I could during the Expo, but there’s no escaping the mile
long promenade down the red carpet for the awards show on Saturday night.
The walk is long, and if you don’t have the right heels, or the right company,
you’ll get grouchy fast. To prepare for the main event, I was gifted some Threat’s
Aftercare Balm, an artisanal cannabis salve infused with lavender and arnica, that
transformed my tired tootsies and got me ready for the long high heeled hike.
On my way to the elevator, I ran into Ashley Manta, the Cannasexual, a sex educator
who specializes in the intersections between sex and cannabis. She was kind enough
to kidnap me into her room for a quick dab courtesy of Lemon Larry rosin from The
Hawgs Breath Company before the madness ensued. When I arrived at the line to get
in, I was greeted by a small gathering of Christian Evangelicals from the Westboro
Baptist church who had come to protest the event and to remind us all what disgusting
godless sinners we were. Luckily one of my red carpet compatriots had smuggled
some high dose edibles from 2017 in her purse, and we peacefully munched on bites
of a 1000mg Korova Bar while sending a friendly “Hail Satan” over to the haters.
Between the edible, the dab, and the salve, I was set. I made it down the red carpet in
one piece and even managed to make it onstage to dance with Lil Wayne right as my
edible started peaking. As I made my way up to my room at the end of the night, I
looked down at my high heels, still firmly planted at the end of my legs, and I felt like
a champion. I had managed to avoid the fate of so many other young women who
were now walking barefoot through the casino, their blistered hooves crying out for
mercy. Nina Hartley’s wisdom from earlier in the week echoed in my ears.
Aftercare is just as important as preparation, and in the days following the convention,
I’ve been so grateful for the way fellow LGBT adult film performer Buck Angel’s
product Buck’s Balm has been able to bring relief to my inflamed joints and muscles.
This was my fourth time attending the event, and honestly it was the best yet. I know
I’ve still got a lot to learn when it comes to surviving and thriving in the adult industry
long term, but this year I learned that flats and cannabis are absolutely essential to
the process. Though the Westboro Baptist Church may disagree, a weekend of sex,
drugs, and rock n’ roll can also be a time to reconnect with my community, grow
my business, and have a blast without totally destroying my body. The moral of the
story? Smoke weed and listen to Nina Hartley, always.

increase their dose without
being overwhelmed by it.
HOW DO I DO IT?
If you are smoking or
vaping, inhale/exhale a
small amount, wait 15
minutes, see how you
feel… If you feel your body
needs more, go for it. When
taking edibles start with 1 -
5 milligrams, wait 2 hours
(I know this sucks, but
edibles have an extremely
delayed response time)
then take more if needed.
DOES DOSING TRANSLATE
BETWEEN SMOKING/
VAPING AND EDIBLES?
No!!! Not really. A 20 mg
dose of a vape pen is a much
smaller dose than a 20 mg
dose of an edible. This is
because your body absorbs
cannabis differently in your
stomach and in your lungs.
Be advised the effects of
smoking and edibles vary
drastically!!!

WHAT ARE THE

An easy way to microdose
is with something that can

This appears to be a major windfall of overall
cannabis acceptance especially after Jeff Sessions
repealed the Cole Memo, revoking protections
from the Obama era for Federal prosecution
in states with medical marijuana regulations.
Cannabis has become quite the hot topic.
Last week Jimmy Kimmel sent Guillermo to
MedMen in West Hollywood to check out their
recreational store, licensed and legal for adult
use cannabis purchases.
Netflix also premiered a documentary titled "The
Legend of 420," which features all of our friends in
the industry and gives a great 101 to the start of the
end of prohibition, but fails to ever tell you about
the actual Legend of 420 and how that started.
