WORLD NEWS
Thailand to Secure Medicinal Cannabis with Blockchain
TEXT HERE
Paul Pot
Thailand seeks to be a leader in the cannabis industry
in Asia. They recently took a big step forward with
the announcement that the country's industry will
use blockchain technology to create a secure supply
chain for medical marijuana and also for the poppy
straw material used in pharmaceutical opioid
production.
Blockchain is a shared immutable ledger for
recording the history of transactions. The concept
has been most publicly associated with the BitCoin
system but has already been used for tracking
pharmaceuticals. For that reason it became a natural
answer for cannabis. It can likewise be applied
to tracking the movement of any type of goods
through a supply chain with every transaction
verified along the way. Most importantly the goal
is to make it easy to track the goods and avoid the
entry of fake supplies, stolen merchandise and black Raja Sharif, chief executive for FarmaTrust says
market goods from infiltrating the system.
A deal has been struck between British blockchain
company, FarmaTrust and supply chain consultants
Peterson Projects and Solutions Asia with the goal
of creating new jobs, industry investment and
expansion within Thailand. This comes in the wake
of recent movement to legalize cannabis in the
Asian nation. Their parliament is moving a medical
cannabis bill through that system and it is expected
to pass.
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
It would legalize medical cannabis for patients with
a valid prescription from their doctor. They cannot
grow pot but can purchase it over the counter. This
will make Thailand a leader in the use of medical
cannabis in Asia. This is a country that has been
known in the past for particularly draconian laws
and harsh penalties for drug possession. "They seem
to be serious about medical marijuana", according to
12 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
A LICENSED WASHINGTON COMPANY
a recent report from Cannabis.net.
Rachel Zedek, a spokesperson for Peterson Projects
and Solutions in Thailand described blockchain as
"a new tool to enhance supply chain management",
which will be critical to growing both the medical
marijuana and poppy industries in Thailand,
according to a recent report in SecuringIndustry.
com. Reducing the amount of counterfeit drugs
is a major concern for these emerging industries.
"We will be working together to help create new
opportunities and solve some pretty serious
challenges", Zedek also reported. She went on
to say that the use of blockchain will apply this
better technology to create new efficiencies and
opportunities that will include small farmers,
communities and low income consumers.
this partnership is an exciting development.
"For us this is the next step in helping to create a
fully transparent drug chain. By partnering with
Peterson, we will harness their expertise in Asia
to create safe, transparent and high-quality supply
chains to eliminate counterfeit drugs. The ultimate
goal is to save lives using blockchain technology
and to help Peterson and their supply partners meet
their legal requirements and coordinate efficiently."
As Thailand moves forward they join a growing
list of countries around the globe and states within
America that are legalizing medical marijuana.
The global market is now pegged at over $56
billion and growing. The concept has taken hold
among Thai legislators, state officials, some of the
country's health experts and the National Farmers
Council which recently declared their intention of
making the country a medical marijuana hub for
the Asian region. The now pot-feisty nation has
also announced government approval for a five-
year test program to grow hemp commercially for
medical usage.
For all the countries and states legalizing medical
cannabis but not yet making the leap to recreational
use, they must deal with the problems of keeping
the supply chain safe, stopping illicit black market
goods but still create industry growth. Issues like
fake goods, mislabeled cannabis oil, and black
market competition will continue to plague the
industry as it expands. Partnerships like this one in
Thailand is working on the solutions.

You may know his songs featuring members of Bone

dancer for New Kids on the Block and Marky Mark. But
Ta Smallz’ life story has a tragic beginning, one that led
him to success fulfilling the family band dream, and put
him on a mission of
positivity.
Ta Smallz’ family

California when we

parents had a rock

and moved to the Golden State to pursue their music
careers. Things got difficult in his parent’s relationship
and as many parents do, his separated. In December
1983, less than three weeks before the happiest time
of year for most families, Ta Smallz awoke to find his
mother missing. What was left in her place was her
bloody bedroom, a vicious crime scene where Marsha
Carter was brutally murdered.
His Mother’s Murder
Ta Smallz recalls the night his mother was murdered,“He

“I would shake at night. I was having bad dreams,
and I couldn’t sleep. My baby’s mother was like,
we need to get some help. I said, ‘Well, I’m gunna

He started calling the Richmond police. “I told

‘We can’t just give you that information.’”
“I replied, ‘Well, I’m just gunna do it myself.’ I got

anyway, I came to the door, he’s like, ‘I bought the
house when you were a little kid. I bought it two
months after it happened, cause it went down low,
no one would buy it.’”
“He invited us in, walked us around the house. He
said, ‘That’s the knife marks in the floor where your

shaking and says, ‘For 6 months your mom’s blood
was on the back door, and I just left it there. I just

“We went through a lot. I was filming this for my

Shout out to Lazy Bone and Bizzy Bone! We started
a record label together. The song Life was about
my mother. It really blew up over the internet. I just
asked the world, ‘If you have any ideas, or if you can
pray for me in anyway, call my number, email me.’ It
took 2-3 years, then someone called. And then they
said they had a DNA hit. I started the Who Killed

universe responded 6 years later. Calvin
Featherson, who was an original witness
in the case, came forward in late 2016
offering his testimony to help convict
Marsha Carter’s murderer, Sherill
Smothers. According to Ta Smallz, he
came down with cancer and a case of a
guilty conscience prompted him to come
clean to authorities.
In 1983, Calvin Featherson, an
acquaintance of Smothers, came forward
with his story as police searched for
Marsha’s whereabouts. Featherson told
police that weeks earlier, Smothers had
offered him $500 to help him kill Marsha.
He said Smothers told him he wanted
to break into Carter's home, kill her and
dump her body in a Sacramento hotel
parking lot. He said Smothers showed
him a map of Sacramento, and pointed
to a hotel parking lot where he wanted to
dump her once murdered. Police searched
that parking lot and that’s where they
found her body stuffed in the trunk of her
car.
Sherill Smothers was an original person
of interest, someone who Marsha Carter
dated and had broken up with. Ta
Smallz recalls his mother telling him
in his dreams the identity of his killer,
but without hard evidence it couldn’t be
proven to authorities.
After Featherson came forward, a
Richmond police cold case detective took
a second look at the case and was able to
successfully link Sherill Smothers to the
crime scene through blood DNA evidence.
Smothers was originally questioned by
police about Marsha’s murder in 1983. He
said he had an alibi which was a friend
he'd gone out for ice cream with. The
friend, who Featherson said Smothers
recruited, backed up the alibi, and because
of that alibi the investigation went cold for
33 years.
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
Featherson testified under oath, that
he was planning to tell police about
Smothers' scheme before Marsha was
killed, but he was worried they wouldn't
believe him. He said his plan was to get
the $500, then tell police, and show them
money as evidence. He said he didn't hear

 COVER STORY
from Smothers for a few days, then turned on
the news one night and realized Carter was a
missing person.
"I'm so sorry that I didn't go to the police
sooner," he said to the grand jury.
Featherson's word, on its own, wasn't enough
to charge Smothers with a crime. Featherson
secretly recorded conversations between the
two. In one conversation, Smothers asked if
Featherson had told police "about the maps"
but never confessed to killing Marsha.
In August 2016, Sherill Smothers was
indicted by a secret grand jury in Contra
Costa County . September 14, 2016 he was
arrested at his home. He awaits sentencing
and faces additional penalization for murder
with the use of a knife. He is currently out on
a $1.3million bond right now.
Karma Really Does Exist
With a karmic twist, five years after the brutal
slaying of of Marsha Carter, her murderer
got into a car accident with his family. His
family was thrown out [of the car], ended
up safe without a scratch on them. He got
paralyzed from the neck down, so now he’s
a quadriplegic. He was hit by a drunk driver,

CannaMexico
World Summit
Event Recap
Patrick Ian Moore
The CannaMexico
World Summit
was held May 30-
31 at Centro Fox in
Leon, Mexico, and
the Edibles News
Team was there.
Former Mexican
President Vicente
Fox organized the event, the first of its kind in Latin
America. We met and were introduced to some amazing
new friends at the summit, like the photographers from
“La Dosis” (The Dosage) - one of Mexico’s premiere
cannabis themed newspapers that also covers all “News
from the Psychoactive Community”. Mota Comix were
on display at the Lagos Growers booth, and they were
the ones who finally hooked us up with some nice strains
of Mexican cannabis, like Acapulco Gold (classic Mexican
sativa hybrid) grown using outdoor, organic hydroponic
planting techniques -- innovative ways of using limited
resources to grow some very nice buds. Everyone we
met was friendly, curious, and very open to information
and education. It was enlightening to actually see what’s
happening outside of the USA and how different it is, even
in a country that borders California. Medical cannabis
is currently legal in Mexico, however, THC content is
limited to 1%. To put that in perspective, in case you don’t
know: it’s not unusual in California for top shelf cannabis
to be between 25-30% THC.

Guanajuato is where we were staying for the conference

and it’s a beautiful city, known as the most romantic and
colorful in all of the country. Some familiar (American)
faces were there too, - we even saw Root Sciences giving
away copies of Edibles Magazine, the issue featuring
them on the cover. CBD infused and flavored vitamin
water seemed to be the most popular product on the
floor, but of course it was fairly hot and everyone loves
free water.

It was definitely fun to smoke and medicate with new

international friends and it confirmed my suspicion that
speaking the mutual language of cannabis would lead to
some nice connections - and it did. We’re excited to go

The STATES Act May Solve Some
of the Industry's Biggest Problems
Paul Pot
A group of bipartisan lawmakers are finally
proposing legislation that would shield
cannabis businesses from federal interference
in states that have legalized it for medical or
recreational use.
In the Senate, Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and
Senator Cory Gardner (R-CO) who battled
Trump over justice nominations to get
attention to this issue, have introduced the
"Strengthening The 10th Amendment Through
Entrusting States or (STATES) Act." It would
protect the states that have established their
own policies for cannabis in their state from
federal intervention and prosecution, which has
been favored by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
Trump has promised to sign the legislation
when it comes to his desk, although this puts
him at odds with his attorney general.
Over in the House a companion bill was
introduced by Rep. David Joyce (R-OH) and
long-time pot supporter Earl Blumenauer (D-
OR). According to the bill's co-sponsors, the
STATES Act would protect states from federal
attack by creating an exemption to the US
Controlled Substances Act which prohibits pot
and lists it as a schedule one drug along with
heroin and LSD. It would also remove industrial
hemp from the list completely. That would
open the door to major expansion in that field.
Another important provision is the
establishment of standard banking practices
which would eliminate one of the industry's
biggest headaches. What to do with all that cash
if you can't just put it in a bank? That would be
one major problem solved.
There would also be some other common sense
guardrails like a minimum age of 18 to work
in the industry and 21 to purchase any of the
goods unless you have a doctor's prescription.
Some less defined issues are also prohibited
like "unsafe working conditions."

POLITICAL NEWS
Senator Warren issued a statement saying
in part: "Outdated federal marijuana laws
have perpetuated our broken criminal
justice system, created barriers to research
and hindered economic development." She
further stated, "The federal government
needs to get out of the business of
outlawing marijuana." She later tweeted
that one provision would "help decrease
the public safety risk that arises from
having an all-cash business."
Senator Gardner also commented that the
STATES Act would fix "these problems
once and for all by taking a state's rights
approach to the legal marijuana question."
Rep. Blumenauer also commented: "For too
long the senseless prohibition of marijuana
has devastated our communities,
disproportionately impacting poor
Americans and communities of color. Not
to mention it's also wasted resources and
stifled medical research."
The cannabis industry has also been quick
to weigh in on this proposed legislation.
Justin Strekel, Policy Director at NORML,
which helped develop the bill, noting
the participation of both political parties
said,"With the introduction of the STATES
Act the movement to end the federal
government's failed policy of cannabis
criminalization has truly become a
bipartisan effort."
Jolene Forman, a staff attorney at the Drug
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
Policy Alliance, which also helped with
the bill had a strong summary statement
saying, "The STATES Act represents a
landmark moment in the movement to
end the decades long war on marijuana.
It creates a workable framework for
approaching the future of marijuana
policy."

United Airlines Cashing in on

United Airlines is quietly cashing in on the

United Airlines launched nonstop service

The service is a one flight a day operation

as a puddle-jumper, operated by Skywest

and more to experience California’s new
cannabis legalization.
I think the real question is, how much
weed may potentially be smuggled in
those checked bags?
It is illegal to transport cannabis by air
for commercial distribution transport per
the new laws, but adult-use consumers
taking their ounces of flower and grams
of concentrates from the famed Emerald
Triangle and “Weed Capital of the
World” may plan to take their souvenirs
home with them.
It is also important to note that air space
is federally regulated, so while you’re
not technically allowed to bring cannabis
on planes with you, if you were stopped
in an airport, the local law enforcement
will handle the situation, and their
jurisdiction is to abide by the state laws.
So if you’re flying from one airport in
California to another, the likelihood of
getting your cannabis taken away from
you is very low as long as you are in
possession of the state adult-use limits,
(8 grams of concentrate and/or 28.5
grams of dried flower).
It can also be argued that you are allowed
to bring 6 months worth of your medicine

Canada Passes The Cannabis Act
C-45: What Does it Mean?
Tommy Knowledge
The Cannabis Act, also known as Bill C-45,
the proposed rules related to the legalization
of cannabis in Canada, is the bill that will
legalize cannabis nationwide in the country.
The Act was passed by the House of Commons
of Canada in late November 2017. On June 7
of this year, the Senate voted to pass Bill C-45.
After reconciliation of the House and Senate
bills, the Act will be effective later this summer,
approximately ten to twelve weeks after the
passage. Health Minister Ginette Petitpas
Taylor has said that provinces and territories
will need two to three months to prepare
before retail sales of legal cannabis are actually
available. Bill C-45 passed in the upper house
Hughie Stonefish by a vote of 56-to-30 with one abstention, over
the objections of Conservative senators. Bill
C-45 is back with the House of Commons along
with a series of amendments recommended by
the Upper Chamber, where the government
will decide whether to approve, reject or
modify the changes before returning it to the
Senate for another vote.
The Senate approved the Trudeau government’s
legislation to lift Canada’s 95-year-old
prohibition on recreational cannabis. Many
of the amendments, including a ban on the
Canadian home growing of cannabis, are
considered controversial. Growing your own
looks like it may be allowed, as long as it’s
fewer than four plants, grown from legally
acquired cannabis seeds, kept away from
children and minors, and also as long as you’re
not in Quebec, Nunavut, Manitoba, or any
other province where Federal and Provincial
laws don’t coincide with each other. Some
of the many issues the Senate struggled with
most is the proposed limits on THC potency,
the psychoactive agent in cannabis responsible
for the euphoric high most people associate
with the plant, as well as one that would forbid
branding non-cannabis products and swag, like
T-shirts, tote bags and baseball hats displaying
marijuana company logos and names.
Some aspects of The Act seem like a step
backward culturally. Bill C-45 would make
the giving or selling of cannabis to any person

under the age of 18 a new criminal
offence punishable by up to 14 years
in jail, a relatively harsh sentence that
would be in line with facilitating a
terrorist activity, torture and human
trafficking. That means an 18 year
old high school senior who shares
a joint at a party with a 17 year old
classmate might face over a decade
of hard time and could share a cell
with a dangerous terrorist, in a worst
case-scenario.
One of Canada’s more conservative
Senators, Dennis Patterson, who
represents Nunavut, said "Easy
availability of this mind-numbing
drug will be devastating in remote
areas where vulnerable Indigenous
populations are already ravaged by
addiction, mental health problems,
violence and suicides.” Nunavut
comprises a major portion of
Northern Canada. Among the most
remote, sparsely settled regions, it
has a population of 35,944, mostly
Inuit, spread over an area of just over
1,750,000 km. Indigenous senators,
ended up supporting the bill when
initial concerns were alleviated by a
last minute written commitment by
Indigenous Services Minister Jane
Philpott to provide more funding
for Indigenous mental health
and addiction treatment services,
and special help for Indigenous
businesses to navigate the licensing
process to grow cannabis.
The world is waiting to see what
Canada does and how the Great
White North handles making
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
history when it comes to nationwide
legalization. The Library of
Parliament website has all 30
pages of Bill C-45 if you’re curious

Get Zen CBD Capsules
Hughie Stonefish
This week I got to
try Get Zen’s CBD
capsules, and I was
very pleased with my
whole experience. In
their words ‘Get Zen
is on a mission to
improve the quality
of life for patients
by manufacturing
the highest quality
medicinal hemp products. Our goal is to bring
honesty, integrity and accountability to the
hemp market.’
Get Zen ‘started using CBD isolate instead
of full spectrum hemp oil because many
patients were experiencing drowsiness and
fatigue from the “entourage effects” of other
cannabinoids instead of the desired symptom
relief from CBD without the negative effects.”
I tried two different pills - the red Cannaprofen
pill and the blue/purple Tranquility pill.
The red cannaprofen pill is ‘the answer for
those looking to get the medicinal benefits of
cannabis without the high.’ 25mg dose is the
Hello Pen Pineapple OG Vape Cartridge
Jack Paradise
Hello Pen is a very cool
new brand of vape that
recently entered
California cannabis scene
and they’ve made a nice
impression. The cartridge
is a nicely updated classic
with a ceramic heating
element, stainless steel
mouthpiece and base,
with a quartz glass tank
that won’t break if you
drop it. “Meticulously-designed world-class
hardware.” The HP carts are all filled with
solvent and pesticide free distillate that rocks a
solid score of 86% THC and 5% CBD. That’s a
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
nice number and absolutely enough to get the
job done.
All natural and with no PG, VG, PEG or MCT,
and the product is fully lab tested too. Available
in half and full gram sizes as well as Cannalope
Haze and Blueberry Kush, these vapes are
potent to be sure and a little goes a long
46 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
perfect amount to get your body and mind
feeling right, but not drowsy or overwhelmed.
I have been making my own transition to
enjoying more CBD products; I enjoy feeling
the things i enjoy about THC - being relaxed
but also stimulated - without the cloudiness
that can sometimes come with THC ingestion.
CBD capsules like these are a great alternative
to a morning smoke; get the energy and the
clarity of that first hit in the morning without
the mid day come down that can sometimes
accompany it.
The Tranquility pill is exactly as its name
would have you believe. ‘This low dose
capsule delivers CBD oil for anxiety and is a
great solution for anxious people.’ I tend to be
an outwardly pretty chill guy with a brain that
sometimes runs 100 miles a minute. Cannabis
is a big part of how I remember to take deep
breaths and enjoy life. Just like with the red
pill, this Tranquility CBD pill helped to ease
some of that anxiety in my brain and in my
body. I recommend for use throughout the day!

way. The taste and aroma were both sweetly
flavorful without tasting fake or over cooked.
the It’s a strong but subtle taste and these produce a
lot of vapor cloud -- perfect for blowing smoke
rings or french inhaling if that’s your thing. The
high produced was very laid back and smiley
with no paranoia at all. The smell dissipates
quickly so you don’t need to worry about
much as far as bothering other people goes.
After a nice vape session with the Hello Pen I
spent some time in a lawn chair by the poolside
taking it easy and listening to the soundtrack
from the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie
-- the Pina Colada Song lyrics are crazy.
This cartridge has your standard 510 threading
and will fit any basic battery. It has a nice sleek
look so you should be just as comfortable
puffing on this when you’re out on the town,
or home on the couch. Again -- Hello Pen hits
big, so inhale easy and relax into it.

HIP-HOP, A WEED-
FRIENDLY SENATOR AND A
PLAYWRIGHT: THE STORY
OF HOW I MADE IT TO 8
BILLBOARD CHARTS WITH
A CANNABIS POEM
Javier Hasse
It was a May Wednesday morning when I
received a text from Jonathan Hay, celebrity
publicist and co-producer of the album
“The Whoodlum Ball”, alongside Eminem’s
go-to radio host DJ Whoo Kid, Ranna Royce
and Mike Smith, from Smith & Hay.
- Jon: Did you see email!?
- Javier: Just seeing! WTF?
- Jon: 8 Billboard charts!!!!
It had not even been a month since I
had performed my poem on cannabis
legalization, Stop The Madness, for the first
time ever.
The First (And Only) Performance
It all started in April, in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania; I was presenting my book,
Start Your Own Cannabis Business: Your
Step-By-Step Guide To The Marijuana
Industry, published via Entrepreneur
Books. A friend, who happens to also
be a Senator in the U.S., had suggested I
showed a sort of rap I had written to the
300 invites at a dinner cruise taking place
later that night in the context of a three- day
cannabis conference. “I showed this to you
in confidence, just for fun,” I responded.
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
“This is nothing more than a creative pitch
to get playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda
to talk with me about medical marijuana.
And, by the way, an unsuccessful pitch at
it; I never got to interview Lin-Manuel.” He
did not care. He wanted me to show it to
his guests. And so, I did. The reception was
amazing. People nodded and agreed out
50 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
loud when I talked “about the Washingtons
that could fund education.” People laughed
when I suggested that “The great debate
over morals has to wait” comparing it with
“Bubba telling Forrest about shrimp on
Judgment Day.” Some people even broke
down in tears…
The Deal
Although I was really embarrassed, for I
am a reporter rather than a public figure, I
decided to share a video recording of my
performance at the dinner cruise. As luck
would have it, Jonathan Hay, the producer
mentioned at the beginning of the article,
saw it and loved it. He instantly wrote to
me saying he had an album coming out
next week and asked me if I would like to
be included. Of course I would! This was
an album featuring some of my favorite
people in music, including Smith and Hay,
Ranna Royce, Wu-Tang’s RZA & Inspectah
Deck, Twista, Lil Windex, Riff Raff, Cyhi
The Prynce, Faincarter, Compton’s Most
Wanted’s MC Eiht, The Wake Up Show’s
King Tech, Parliament-Funkadelic’s Jerome
“Bigfoot” Brailey, Iliana Eve, LX Xander,
and Eminem’s artists Kxng Crooked and
Conway. Beyond the excitement of being
included in a real record and getting to chat
with some of these very cool people, I did
not expect much to come from this whole
ordeal. However, on the week of its debut,
“The Whoodlum Ball”, hit eight different
Billboard Charts, including the #1 spot on
the Billboard Heatseekers chart, #9 on Rap
Charts, and #11 on Independent Charts. As
per the request of my awesome friends at
Edibles Magazine, here’s the full poem for
your enjoyment.
Stop The Madness
Yo, peers. Allow me to drop some “ritmo,”
Talk cannabis legalization.
Let me tell you about the Washingtons that
could fund education.
We could create a lot of wealth for every state in
our great Nation,
A multiple billion-dollar basis of new taxation.
Hoping to God Jeff Sessions’ tragic
misinformation
Does not confuse the Congress, which needs to
pass legislation,
Ending with fratricidal tax burdens on
medication.
I care about the stoners, but this is really about
the patients.
This is a topic we refuse to ignore,
The opioid epidemic hitting home is real
hardcore.
We got here at the cost of a million tombstones,
Leaving cartels to business, while damming the
good souls.
They’ve locked up yours? They’ve locked up
mine.
But somewhere down the line
We decided: if you’re white, you’ll get off with a
simple fine.
The great debate over morals has to wait.
That’s Bubba telling Forrest about shrimp on
Judgment Day.
We need to be pragmatic and focus on what
matters.
We’ve got Veterans, kids and mothers, patients
going down the gutters
EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
ARTIST'S CORNER
What about taxes? And what about the jobs?
We need to make weed legal, it is time to cut
the loss.
To recap: 3.2 hundred million
American civilians are missing out on
billions.
Booze, tobacco, pharma and prisons are
leading this grand shakeout,
There’s nothing left to say or do. We’re done.
We want a bill out!
It’s time to close the fracture, weed is not the
malefactor.
We can’t just let it play out.
For some, death is less than a year out.
It’s non-partisan.
The hard part is in convincing Congress
legalization matters
So their hearts get in the fight.
Not to get high.
But for relief.
A belief that there’s a leaf that can help
millions ease their grief.
Sean Spicer, I’ll agree with your alternative
“facts,”
I’ll play board-games with the Kushners, I’ll
wear a Trump campaign hat.
Our citizens are suffering. Stop the Madness,
it’s just pot.
Help our patients, all that’s needed is ONE
law.

POT STOCKS & STOCKED POTS:
BONE STOCK & CANOPY GROWTH CANADA
B. Le Grand
This issue we're featuring a bone broth stock
and Canada's Canopy Growth Corporation.
Cannabis Infused Bone Stock:
Here are some of the many benefits of
consuming bone broth:
• The gelatin found in bone broth is a
hydrophilic colloid that attracts and holds
liquids, including digestive juices, thereby
supporting proper digestion
• Bone broth reduces joint pain and
inflammation courtesy of chondroitin
sulfates, glucosamine, and other compounds
extracted from the boiled down cartilage
• Amino acids such as glycine, proline,
and arginine in bone broth all have anti-
inflammatory effects
• Bone broth contains high amounts of
calcium, magnesium, and other nutrients
that play an important role in healthy bone
formation
• Bone broth can be made from any type of
bones you like – chicken, beef, pork, or even
fish – but seek bones from organically raised,
pastured, or grass-fed animals
Ingredients:
3-4 pounds beef marrow and knuckle bones
2 pounds meaty bones such as short ribs
1/2 cup raw apple cider vinegar
4 quarts filtered water
3 celery stalks, halved
3 carrots, halved
3 onions, quartered
Handful of fresh parsley
Sea salt
THC Tincture
Instructions:
Place bones in a
pot or a crockpot,
add apple cider
vinegar and water,
and let the mixture
sit for 1 hour so the
vinegar can leach
the mineral out
of the bones. Add more water if needed to
cover the bones. Add the vegetables bring to
a boil and skim the scum from the top and

discard. Reduce to a low simmer, cover, and cook
for 24-72 hours (if you're not comfortable leaving
the pot to simmer overnight, turn off the heat and
let it sit overnight, then turn it back on and let
simmer all day the next day). During the last 10
minutes of cooking, throw in a handful of fresh
parsley and the THC tincture, for added flavor
and minerals. Let the broth cool and strain it,
making sure all marrow is knocked out of the
marrow bones and into the broth. Add sea salt to
taste and drink the broth as is or store in fridge
up to 5 to 7 days or freezer up to 6 months for use
in soups or stews.
Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED)
One of the World’s Biggest Cannabis Producers
Canopy Growth
maintains well over
5.7million square

s p a c e i n Br i t i s h
Columbia. They’re
expected to produce
more than half a
million kilograms of cannabis every year. Canopy
Growth also owns and operates Canada’s most
recognizable cannabis brand: Tweed. Tweed's
online sales will play a critical role in winning over
recreational and medical cannabis consumers
now that Bill C-45, The Cannabis Act, has been
passed. Add that to Canopy's partnership with
their minority stakeholder, Constellation Brands,
the physical presence in retail stores, and it
would seem that their distribution network and
potential for expansion is unmatched in the
industry. A $10,000 initial investment was turned
into $225,000. New Frontier Data cites Canopy
Growth as being the most valuable Canadian
stock available.

Turkish Rapper 'Ezhel' Faces
Prison Time for Cannabis Lyrics
Patrick Ian Moore
In the 1978 movie “Midnight Express,” a young American
would be smuggler, Billy Hayes, is arrested at the Istanbul
airport with hash taped to his chest. He is thrown into a
Turkish prison and endures a horrifyingly traumatic time
at the hands of sadistic prison guards before managing
to escape. The film received positive reviews from critics,
however, Hayes (the subject and author) and others
criticized the movie for portraying the Turkish people
as violent and evil and for deviating too much from the
original true story-source material. “Midnight Express” has
always kind of been where my awareness and exposure
to the idea of serving time in a Turkish prison begins and
ends, and even that seems to have been misinterpreted by
Hollywood.
Now, forty years after the release of “Midnight Express”,
a special team from the elite Istanbul drug squad has
arrested Turkish rapper Ezhel, whose real name is Ömer
Sercan İpekçioğlu, and who is an up and coming hip hop
star out of Turkey. He may have only one studio album to
his name so far, but the young performer has garnered well
over 30 million YouTube hits, and he was on the schedule
to perform live shows with cannabis icon Wiz Khalifa over
the summer. According to ‘Ahval News’, one of Turkey’s
leading media sites: “The Turkish government arrested
Ezhel for ‘promotion of drug use,’ an accusation that has
received outrage from fans around the world. “Writing
a song cannot be a crime,” stated Ezhel’s manager, Riza
Okcu. The government should arrest the real criminals.
Rap music tells the truth about what happens in the
streets.” A large number of Turkish social media users
were shocked by the development, especially Twitter users,
with many questioning why the Turkish police targeted
and jailed the young rap artist for his lyrics, instead of
investigating actual serious crimes and criminals. Turkey
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
has their own problems with criminal activity it seems,
especially against women. The Turkish Prime Ministry's
Human Rights Directorate reported that in Istanbul alone
there was an average of one honor killing per week and
according to official figures, in the year 2013, about 28,000
women were assaulted and of those, more than 214 were
murdered by husbands or lovers. Many Turkish hip hop
fans are outraged that the rapes and killings go unpunished
while a rapper they love is being arrested for writing songs
promoting the benefits of cannabis use.
54 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
The 28-year-old musician released his first studio album,
Müptezhel, in 2017. A native of Turkey’s capital city of
Ankara, Ezhel is currently Turkey’s most successful rap
artist, whose song “Geceler” has been streamed over 13
million times on the music streaming platform Spotify
and whose single ‘Şehrimin Tadı’ has been listened to
more than 33 million times over YouTube. Ezhel combines
western stylings with Turkish subject matter that he
understands oh so well. Ezhel can also play the bağlama,
a stringed Persian instrument, and guitar. Now he’s facing
a decade behind bars for his music as a form of extreme
censorship, when cannabis is freely talked about openly
by many nations of the world and has been for some time.
The severe Turkish drug laws are especially strict, and drug
possession can mean very lengthy prison sentences. The
‘encouragement of drug use,’ which Ezhel is now accused
of, can earn someone up to 10 years in jail. Cannabis in
Turkey is illegal for recreational use, but the cultivation of
marijuana is legal in 19 provinces for medicinal and scientific
purposes. The production and import or export of drugs are
punishable by a prison sentence of 30 years and Turkey is
generally believed to be one of the countries with the harshest
drug laws in the world. EuroNews.com reported that: “On
July 15 2016, Turkey underwent an attempted coup against
its government. The coup was prevented but repercussions
are felt in every quarter of life. Over 100 journalists were
jailed in the post-coup crackdown, which brought the total
number of journalists in prison to 165, The Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) voted to reopen
a monitoring probe into Turkey over concerns about human
rights. That means Turkey will be subject to frequent visits
by human rights officials.” The coup attempt seems to have
transformed the cultural landscape of the country and it
doesn’t bode well for free thinking artists like Ezhel.
“Midnight Express” may have been an exaggeration back in
1978, but the thought of doing hard time in a Turkish prison
still sounds like a nightmare, and a particularly terrible one
when your only crime is writing and singing about using
cannabis. It’s scary to think about the number of laws that we’d
be breaking if we were to try and publish Edibles Magazine
in Turkey. I’ve met Billy Hayes and he’s a very sincere and
high spirited person. Meeting Ezhel someday would be a
real honor, and we hope his struggles with the authorities are
over soon and he is safe and free, instead of wasting away in
prison while his contemporaries tour the world. In the year
339 BC, Socrates was executed by the state for corrupting
the minds of the youth of Athens. You’d think that over
2000 years later the act of “being a bad influence” would no
longer be a crime, but unfortunately for artists like Ezhel, that
still isn’t the case. As George Orwell said, "If liberty means
anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do
not want to hear." We all only wish it was as simple as the
Turkish Authorities choosing not to listen to Ezhel’s music.
Follow the hashtag #FreeEzhel to learn more and keep up
with the case, and follow Ezhel on Twitter - @ezhel06.

Blazed Blerd (Black Nerd) Groovy
Movie - Pacific Rim: Uprising
DJ Reid 420
Pacific Rim: Uprising is a PG-13 sequel that has
everything a fourteen year old Chinese boy wants
in a movie. Robots, monsters, robot monsters
and Clint Eastwood Jr. (Scott Eastwood). I love
this movie if only because it crushes the diversity
barrier in the East. I never thought I would see
a movie obviously targeting the Asian youth
demographic starring a black guy. Not an African
American. He’s African European. John Boyega
crushes it doing what he does best...being British.
Is Uprising the sequel to Pacific Rim or is Attack
the Block the prequel? And if you’ve never seen
John B. in the classic British sci-fi movie Attack
the Block, watch it before you watch Pacific Rim 2.
Boyega is channeling all the charm he’s mastered
from the Star Wars films, but I would advise him
to lay of the chocolate sprinkles. There is a lot of
junk in the trunk of that Jaeger. Piloting a giant
robot is a lot like working a digital elliptical trainer
and Boyega does a lot of running and never has
to catch his breath. Get back on the treadmill
Johnny, because your boyfriend makes you look
kinda fat. Did I say boyfriend? Am I suggesting
there was some sexual tension between Scott
Eastwood and John Boyega? Yeah. That’s right. I
said it! Pacific Rim 2 is gay. It’s as gay as Top Gun.
Like most military propaganda movies there is
always a hidden homosexual overtone that makes
the film more enticing. The gay romance is one of
the best things about Top Gun and if you haven’t
watched it, watch it before you watch Pacific
Rim 2. In this Pacific Rim there is no Uprising,
especially not in my pants. Like all Chinese state
approved cinema this movie is devoid of any
sex or romance. The only real lust in the film is
a forced love triangle between the two leading
men and another female character. Boyega and

Eastwood have great chemistry except for
the two times that Eastwood calls Boyega
"brother." The second time I could of swore
he said "brotha." It sounds weird. Most
sequels are not better than the original, but
this sequel is at least only slightly sub par
than the original.
The first Pacific Rim was far from perfect
and strangely the sequel has a lot of the same
problems. Lack of romance. The final battle
is the weakest battle and the supporting cast
often steals the scene from the lead actors.
But I watched Pacific Rim 2 with a killer
Indica that made the whole experience
feel like a video game worth playing. If
you are a big fan of Macross, Voltron or
Ultraman, 2. etc...you can probably forgive
this movie’s flaws and just enjoy watching
the giant action figures at play. If you don’t
know any of these references I mentioned,
this may not be the movie for you. If you’re
real nerd you may even spot the Mobile Suit
Gundam homage. And of course the best
thing about Pacific Rim 2 is the attempt to
capture the Guillermo Del Toro production
design. Why do monsters look cooler at
night in the rain? Del Toro has definitely
seen the Original Godzilla of 1954. If you
haven’t seen Godzilla, watch it before you
watch Pacific Rim 3. Yeah. That’s right. I
said Pacific Rim Part three! Because you
know there will be one.

CA Senate Bill 930
is in the Assembly's
Hands Now for State
Chartered Cannabis
Banking System
B. Le Grand
Senate Bill 930, introduced by Sen. Bob Hertzberg,
(D-Van Nuys), passed the Senate on a 29-6 vote,
and is now in the second round of commenting
phase with the Assembly. It is a bill that would
allow financial institutions to offer limited
banking services to the state’s legal cannabis
businesses.
The bill comes as a ray of hope for cannabis
dispensaries,manufacturers and even ancillary
businesses that have been waiting for the
opportunity for legitimate cannabis banking. We
have heard countless stories of bank accounts,
credit cards, even mortgages getting pulled and
closed for being related to the cannabis industry.
Under SB 930, California would allow for the
creation of limited-charter licenses for banks and
credit unions overseen by the Department of
Business Oversight, the state’s financial regulator.
This special-charter institution model would
allow checks to be issued that could be used to
pay state or local fees and taxes, rent or cost of
goods including cannabis goods, or to buy state
or local bonds or warrants.
The bill was co-sponsored by Board of Equalization
member Fiona Ma.
“California can’t wait to take action. With secure
banking for cannabis through SB 930, the industry
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
will benefit, the state will get a revenue boost and
pot cash will get off our streets,” she said in a
news release.
Multiple docu-series that aired on CNN and
MSNBC chronicled what Colorado dispensaries
and growers were going through attempting
to bank prior to their state chartered banking
system. They documented how washing cash and

spraying it with Febreze so it didn’t smell like weed in order to deposit
it. Colorado’s state cannabis bank Safe Harbor created the model for
California to follow. Other regulated cannabis states like Hawaii now
use Safe Harbor in conjunction with CannaPay to operate cashless
transactions.
Federal law forbids federally regulated and insured banks or credit
unions from knowingly accepting cannabis money, excluding the $10
billion legal cannabis industry easy banking, easy accounting and
painless payments.
“ T he s ta tu s qu o f or ou r gr owi ng l ega l c a nna b i s i nd u s tr y
i s unsustainable,” said Sen. Bob Hertzberg. “It’s not only impractical
from an accounting perspective, but it also presents a tremendous
public safety problem. This bill takes a limited approach to provide all
parties with a safe and reliable way to move forward on this urgent issue.”
State officials estimate they will collect $600 million in cannabis taxes
in the upcoming year, raising a very real public safety issue, including
the possibility of theft, as business owners carry duffel bags stuffed
with cash to state offices. The use of cash also makes it hard for the state
to account for and audit transactions, not to mention the California
Department of Fee and Taxation are not able to take cash payments
above $20,000.
"The question becomes, 'With that amount of cash, what do you do?' —
because you can't deposit in a bank," Sen. Bob Hertzberg said during
a legislative hearing. "We are faced with a significant public safety
challenge."
The measure was also backed by Lindsay Robinson, Executive Director
of the California Cannabis Industry Association (CCIA). Robinson told
lawmakers a CCIA member has an $800,000 tax bill due next month
and plans to pay it in cash.
"The threat of violence and theft is extremely real for our members,"
Robinson said.
Hertzberg has proposed an advisory board that includes the state
treasurer, controller and chief of the state Bureau of Cannabis Control.
The legislation would also allow banks to be privately insured in lieu
of the FDIC.
All of the proposals proposing change to state banking to allow for
cannabis businesses to bank were under threat U.S. Atty. Gen. Jeff
Sessions that his office would begin enforcing federal laws against
marijuana in states where voters had acted to make it legal.
President Trump personally directed a retreat from that position after
discussions with Republican Sen. Cory Gardner of Colorado, a state
that has successful state chartered banking, regulatory structure and
taxation. Hopefully California’s Assembly members will agree with
the Senate so it becomes law.

 FOOD SCIENCE
What does a Clean
Label Really Mean
Rachel Zemser
Years ago (around a decade ago) most of
the processed food products on the market
were made by large companies- like
Unilever, Nestle, Kraft and Campbell's
Soup. Products were designed to last
years on the shelf. This was all possible
because of the multitude of industrial
ingredients available to manufacturers
like xanthan gum, sodium benzoate,
potassium sorbate and citric acid. These
ingredients are designed to prevent
bacteria from growing, lower pH, create
unique textures and keep baked goods
soft and delicious. Fast -forward, the
food industry landscape has changed
and there are now thousands of start-
up food based companies who want to
put out what they believe are healthier
shelf stable options to compete with
existing big brands. Part of the new
food landscape involves using “clean”
ingredients that are not only recognizable
to consumers but also bring awareness to
what is inside the food product.
Clean and Clear
The consumer's desire for clean, clear
and recognizable ingredient statements
has presented a challenge to food
scientists and manufacturers who must
develop the food products for these
startups, and who need to have access
to the array of ingredients available to
them that will enable them to make the
product functional, safe, shelf stable
and in compliance with FDA labeling
regulations. There is no real definition
of clean and most startup companies
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
have a mission to put out a food product
with a specific functional or health
purpose and they have their own ideas
of how to relay the ingredients inside the
product to their target market. Ingredient
statements are now strategic mission
statements and are a crucial part of a
food company's marketing strategy. It
60 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
is important that start up companies
do their research and try to understand
what the foreign sounding ingredients
are, the specific function or role it plays
in the development of their product, the
FDA rules on how it should be listed and
what cleaner sounding alternatives exist.
Learn The Regulations
There is a whole section in the FDA Code
of Federal Regulations (CFR’s) that is
dedicated to explaining how ingredients
need to be listed on a food product. This
chapter is famously known (at least
famously known to food scientists) as 21
CFR 101.4 This section includes examples
like—sugar can’t be called “sucrose” and
when you must use specific ingredient
names and when you have the option
to use a more “generic” term. Food
scientists and regulatory label creators
must follow these rules or they will be
violating the FDA code. FDA violations
can lead to letters from the FDA and
possible product recalls.
Don't Mislead The Masses
The rules of the FDA are very specific
and start-up companies often wish
they could describe an ingredient in
a way that they perceive to be more
“positive”. This type of wishful thinking
can easily lead to a label that the FDA
and your consumers could construe as
misleading. For example, one would
rather say evaporated cane juice instead
of “sugar”, and the FDA will take issue
with that, or a brand owner may want
to call an ingredient by its trademarked
name like “Fibersol” instead of what
is really is (soluble corn fiber) because
they think the trademark name sounds
better. Don’t attempt to call an ingredient
whatever you like- you must always
consult with a regulatory specialist to
make sure you are in compliance with
the law. Unfortunately a
truthful ingredient statement
may sometimes sound ugly
but there are ways of dealing
with this and a food lawyer or
regulatory expert can help.
Learn Why The Ingredient Is
Needed
Are you making a shelf stable
beverage and need to lower
your pH? You may need to
include citric acid in your
formula. Do you want your
baked good to last more than
a few days on the shelf? You
may need calcium propionate
or potassium sorbate to inhibit
mold growth. Do you want
your fat free salad dressing to
be smooth and creamy? You
might need carrageenan or
xanthan gum. Do you need
to lower the water activity
of your product to keep it
dry and prevent bacteria
from growing- you might
decide to add corn syrup
instead of sugar to prevent
crystallization and keep your
product affordable.
Find Alternatives
There is more than one
ingredient out there that can
be used to create your desired
end product. For example-
you may not want to use
“corn syrup” because it has
the word corn in it or because
your consumers associate corn
syrup with GMO’s or High
Fructose Corn Syrup. Corn
syrup in Europe is referred
to as “glucose syrup” and in
the U.S. you can substitute
brown rice or tapioca syrup
instead. You could also
source out organic GMO
free corn syrup too if you
think that your consumers
will feel better knowing that
corn syrup does exist in an
organic format. Sometimes
the simple act of sourcing
EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
FOOD SCIENCE
out an organic source of a
unusual sounding ingredient
will put your consumers at
ease once they realize that it’s
“organic”. Other alternatives
out there include lemon juice
concentrate for pH reduction
(versus citric acid) and mold
inhibiting “cultured whey”
instead of the more unfamiliar
potassium sorbate. These more
natural sounding ingredients
come at a higher price that can
add cost to your final product
and lower your profit margin.
Educate
The industry is trying very hard
to create labels that a consumer
and their grandparents can
understand. Sometimes
educating the consumer as to
why a particular unclear or
unhealthy sounding word is
necessary can help you justify
to them why you have decided
to use it. A company website
can give start up companies
an opportunity to let their
voice be heard and provide
information, education and
direction to legitimate third
party studies can explain in
simple terms why ingredients
were chosen and clarification
on their origins.
Next Steps
As you begin to plan out your
next product to market idea
try to think about how you can
use the ingredients you want
to use and believe in and how
you can relay that information
to your consumers. Don’t
think of ingredients as clean
or dirty, good or bad because
every target market has
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
their own perception based
on what they read online or
heard on the news or what
voice has reached out and
influenced them. Keep your
statements honest and don’t
try to manipulate the truth.

Georgia Family Loses

Custody of Their 15 Year
Old Son for Treating His
Seizures with Cannabis
B. Le Grand
On April 20th, Matthew and
Suzeanna Brill, a Georgia
couple, lost custody of their
15 year old son, for giving
him cannabis to treat his
debilitating seizures. His
parents say his seizures
occurred “seven days a week, 24 hours a day.” They
have not seen their son since the Georgia's Division of
Family and Children Services took him and placed him
in a group home.
WMAZ originally reported the Brill family had tried
a multitude of remedies and medications, including
industrial hemp CBD oil (which the state of Georgia
legally allows), but nothing was effective.
“The only way he could get a medical card would be a
six-year waiting list,” Suzeanna told CBS News. That
medical card would only allow them to possess low-
THC CBD oil, which became apparent to the Brills was
not enough. In desperation, they decided to let him try
whole plant cannabis flower which is illegal in Georgia.
Matthew, the child’s step-father stated in court
documents and to the press, he tried the marijuana first
and then gave it to his son.
"I smoke it first. I know where it comes from, I know my
people. I made sure the bag was good, packed the bowl
in my bowl, which I know ain't been anywhere else, and
I set it on the table and told him that it was his decision. I
did not tell him he had to or not," Matthew said.
The Brills said when their son began smoking multiple
times a day, it kicked off a 71-day seizure-free stretch.
They were charged with reckless conduct by the Twiggs
county Sheriff’s department. Sheriff Darren Mitchum
says what they’re doing is criminal, “It doesn’t matter if
I don’t agree with the law…. or like it. It doesn’t matter.”
They say they'd do it again to protect their child.
Suzeanna said, “Nothing else was working. I can't have
my kid dying because no one wants to listen."
The Brills are currently out on bail and fighting to get
their son back. They say they’re not bad parents and
they were doing what they had to in order to stop their
son's frequent seizures. Since he has been removed
from his home, placed 60 miles away and not allowed
to smoke medical marijuana, the debilitating seizures
have returned.

 CULINARY CORNER
Chef Feature: Chef Nuha, a Cannabis Industry OG
B. Le Grand
What inspired you to become a Chef?
Cooking and being in a kitchen was built in my
genes. My great-grandfather was a cook in Jordan.
My grandfather was a world-renowned chef at
some of the finest restaurants and country clubs, my
mother was a chef and baker becoming a celebrity
wedding cake designer, then later becoming the
head baker chef at P.F. Changs, then Coffee Bean
and Tea Leaf then over to Panera. In my family we
basically communicated through different dishes
that are made and inspired us to take old recipes
and add modern touches
What’s it like being a female in the cannabis
industry?
The legal and accepted cannabis industry is
a relatively new industry that has blossomed
during a generation that has been more accepting
of women's rights and equality. I am always
excited to see the large percentage of women being
represented in the industry. Further, it seems that
most edibles companies have been launched by
women so its really feels like a leveled playing field,
especially with edibles.
Edibles Magazine Issue 46
What sets you apart from other cannabis chefs?
I feel what sets me part is that I am a foodie first,
a classically trained chef second and a cannabis
chef third. My experience in culinary arts and my
training at Le Cordon Bleu and my family history
of chefs, restaurants and cooking all have had a
culinary impact on me.
70 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
How does your ethnic background inspire
your culinary creations?
My Middle Eastern heritage always is felt in
my dishes, especially in developing many
meatless options, foods based upon the
seasons and healthier options that have been
part of Mediterranean cooking for thousands
of years. Its seen in my infused my olive oils,
where back in Jordan my family grew their
own olives and pressed their cold pressed olive
oil , in addition to the foray of Mediterranean
foods that are always present in my cooking.
What has the process been like getting
licensed in California?
Being married to a cannabis attorney who
helped draft many local and state ordinances
gave us a leg up on licensing, however it was
an extremely difficult and expensive process.
Gratefully, we now have three fully licensed
facilities, two with large commercial kitchens
fully vertically integrated with state licenses.
However, as more cities open to micro-business
licenses I can see that being a more viable
option for smaller edibles companies. I would
also recommend shared co-op spaces and joint
ventures for edibles companies seeking to get
into the licensed cannabis market in California.
What do you think this set of regulations
for legalization is going to do to small
businesses and small business owners?
Its 100% going to destroy mom and pop
businesses especially edibles companies. We
are already seeing small business failing to the
way side due to the costs of entering the legal
market, the amount of capital and resources
required and the amount of bureaucracy to get
through the licensing system.
What was the first time you got high?
The first time I got high was in high school, I
was a freshman and I had left early to smoke
out with seniors to be cool. I do not recall ever
really stopping.
What’s your tolerance level now?
I would say it has reduced as my curiosity and
embracing of cannabis for its medicinal and
spiritual qualities have surpassed my desire
for the euphoria. I really love micro-dosing
and have gotten to really be captivated by the
other cannabinoid profiles other then THC,
but your THCA, THCV, CBD, CBN and CBG.
What’s your favorite way to consume
cannabis?
I am still an old school, joint rolling stoner.
What is your infusion process (without
giving away your trade secrets)?
For many years it was simply infusing
decarboxylated cannabis with butter, and then
using the butter in a variety of dishes, simple
and easy. For me, I love the taste of cannabis.
However lately and ever more frequently I
have been using distillate cannabis oil due to
the removing of the terpene profiles and the
ability to get a more accurate dosing.
Tell us about your products and what you
have coming out.
On July 1, 2018 we are releasing to the licensed
California market my new Cannabiscotti line
with three skews, a cherry, cranberry with
white chocolate drizzle, dark chocolate and
peanut butter cacao chips, an almond and
pistachio with rose water and brown sugar
and a new vegan and gluten free cannabite
with oatmeal, walnut, dates and flax seed.
of course we will also be re-releasing my
extra virgin first press medicated olive oil.
What do you think the key to making
consistent edibles is?
Precision, consistent testing, almost scientific
formulations and never ever cutting corners.
Any recommendations to newbies to edibles?
Microdose. Be careful if the product is home
made or not as they seem to be quite a bit more

potent. be patient and build your tolerance. All it
takes is one bad trip and then most people will never
take an edible again.
Were you a fan of Anthony Bourdain and his
shows? How do you think his passing will affect
the celebrity chef community?
The sudden loss of Anthony Bourdain was felt by so
many people because it was if they lost a life long
friend who they never met. Anthony was able to
bridge culture on a ground level bases. He brought
food, people and culture in a way that all other travel
shows had failed to ever reach into. We were able
to see into the lives of others, in places we would of
never thought of visiting and to taste food we would
of never thought of eating. He addressed political
and moral issues all wrapped into a simple dish of
food. It’s saddens me to know how much pain he
was in. For those of you who haven’t read Kitchen
Confidential and are fans of his it’s a must. His
presence will be deeply missed. He was a national
treasure that generations to come will read about.
I believe it will affect the chef community in a very
positive way, people who didn’t really know all his
good it all came out the day he passed and some of
that good will stick on all of us
What changes do you hope to see in cannabis
legislation in California?
I think the high taxation will be a hinder to
legalization as the black market prices will dominate,
making it hard for legal businesses to compete. I
would love to see more licenses being issued for retail
and less for manufacturing and cultivation as it's
nearly 50 (cultivation/manufacturing) to 1 (retail).
