Happy March! I love the early springtime. Getting the garden ready, thinking my
baseball team really has a chance this year (Go Giants!), planning ahead for 4/20
25 (cough, come see me at The Punchline in San Francisco, cough) and generally enjoy-
ing the warmer temperatures all serve to put my mind at ease.
However, I can’t relax. The situation in Los Angeles is most likely going to get

9 worse before it gets better. ASA, and a host of other groups will most likely sue the
city over its misguided attempt to regulate medical cannabis dispensaries out of
business. So, instead of collecting revenues from the collectives (not to mention the
15 thousands of jobs the collectives provide in a city with 12% unemployment), Los An-
geles, and the dispensaries, will have to expend money on court costs and lawyer’s
fees. This is a lose/lose situation for both parties. If the City Council had held firm on

playing the role of doctor, instead of legislator. fessor Lyle Craker (UMass Amherst) applied for a license to

rejected by DEA officials, seemingly more of a political state-
ment as opposed to one bearing any scientific validity. Craker
has filed for a motion of reconsideration. For now, The Govern-
ment continues to have a monopoly on the supply of cannabis
for FDA approved research studies.

After 72 years, the American Medical Associa-


tion adopted a resolution calling for the rescheduling of can-
nabis to ease the way for more research, stating "Our American
Medical Association (AMA) urges that marijuana's status as a
federal Schedule I controlled substance be reviewed with the
goal of facilitating the conduct of clinical research and devel-
opment of cannabinoid-based medicines. This should not be
viewed as an endorsement of state-based medical cannabis pro-
grams, the legalization of marijuana, or that scientific evidence
on the therapeutic use of cannabis meets the current standards
for a prescription drug product." This change in policy comes
after evidence of medical efficacy and increased social change
regarding cannabis as a medicine has become too overwhelm-
ing to ignore. The need to test the drug is imperative, as it could
provide relief and comfort to millions of patients who currently
have no access to these therapies.

Testing and verification also need to be estab-


lished to ensure that the supply of medicine reaching patients
is safe and free from contaminants like pesticides, molds, and
diseases. It also needs to be tested for its active compounds so
that patients and providers have a clearer picture of what types
and strength of medicines are best for a particular patient’s
needs. Understanding these better will help patients, as they
will be sure their medicine is produced safely and that the level

in Dana Point are ensnarled in this legal battle with the city, as
the city issued subpoenas of their records in an effort to ensure
they were operating legally before deciding on regulating them
in an ordinance. It is a complex regulatory matter that will most
likely be decided in court.

Regulation of doctors is also an issue, as many


have been accused of writing recommendations for cannabis
patients in haste and for trivial reasons. Recently the Colorado
Legislature introduced legislation that would attempt to alter
the current patient-doctor relationship by placing extensive
requirements for recommending these treatments, including
getting a second opinion and having an ongoing relationship. It
would seem that this backlash is an attempt to diminish the role
of doctors that specialize in recommending cannabis. It would
also be a form of unfair discrimination, as doctors are allowed
to prescribe drugs that are way more dangerous than cannabis
without these types of restrictions. In California, there have
been complaints filed against doctors, but no formal regulation
controlling their practices has been introduced.

The fact is: regulation of the medical cannabis


(and, eventually, adult-use cannabis) industries is inevitable.
When the issue quits being so controversial and the powers-at-
be realize that cannabis is here to stay, they will press forward
with ways of controlling the market and creating assurances
in production and distribution methods. As an industry we
have to decide if we are going to accept some restrictions in
exchange for legitimacy, or if we are going to go kicking and
screaming. The truth is, that even with little regulation there
have been very few incidents where cannabis, dispensing, col-
lectives, producers of medicines, or patients have harmed or
been harmed by the current industry practices.

Mediation
for Medical Marijuana
Business Disputes:
Effective, Efficient, and Smart
By Daniel M. Bornstein

All of us participating in the


medical marijuana industry
share similar goals: to ensure that me-
dicinal marijuana is accessible, safe and
legal. However, this industry is still
fraught with personal, professional,
and financial risk.

Whether you are a vendor, landlord,


patient, dispensary owner, or industry
service provider, disputes will inevi-
tably arise. These disputes naturally
create stress, financial worry, and anxi-
ety over potential criminal sanction.
Because the industry is still evolving
from its past underground culture/
status, disputes with your business
partner(s) can unfortunately lead to
false accusations, extortion, threats to
one’s safety, and/or other financial/per-
sonal danger. In order to better protect
yourself from these risks, you must
anticipate potential disputes and their
successful resolution. Agreeing with
industry partners to mediate before a
dispute arises is smart, prudent and
cost effective.

Private, confidential mediation is espe-


cially important for those in our indus-
try. Admittedly, facets of the medical
marijuana industry operate within a
gray area of law. Although medical

Cooking with Cannabis
WEST COAST STYLE Sprinkle steaks with salt. Melt 2 tablespoons of Cannabis infused
by RachieBake butter in 12-inch skillet until sizzling; add steaks and garlic. Cook
over medium-high heat 4 minutes or so, turning once, until brown.
Now, add the wine or broth (your choice). Cover; continue cooking,
turning once, until steak is done (cooking time will vary since we
all like our meat cooked different. I think 5 to 10 minutes is a good
range).
Meanwhile, remove the Medicated Cheese/CannaButter mixture
from refrigerator; let stand at least 15 minutes.
This is how I serve it, I cut the Cheese/CannaButter mixture into 6
slices; place 1 slice of butter on the center of each hot steak. I pour
any of the remaining juice from the pan I cooked the steaks in over
the top of that... That really is optional so you don't have to do it!,
but it sure tastes good... lol  
TIP: To keep the butter in a tubular shape versus having one side
flatten by resting on the refrigerator shelf, try this trick. Cut the
tube from an empty roll of paper towels crosswise into a 4-inch
length. Make one lengthwise cut in the tube. Place plastic wrapped
CannaButter log in cardboard tube and refrigerate.
STEAK!
See you next month! Enjoy!!!
RachieBake
This month I have a special "something" for all of the meat eaters
out there—you know who you are. . . . :-)  This has to be the easiest
most delicious steak recipe I have ever had.   My husband Jerry
made this for us once with baked potatoes and green beans.  It
was better than a steak house... then a few hours later... we were
passed out, it was killer!!!

THIS MONTH’S BUD: TRAINWRECK p h oto : e d r o s e nt h a l

Why is it called Trainwreck? Because this super strong pure sativa (mostly Colombian x Mexican sativa with a little Afghani) comes on
crazy strong? Is it because of the rumor that this light green, long leaved, delicious plant was first grown in Humboldt County near the
site of an old trainwreck? I say yes to both. For at least fifteen years, this plant with the strong head effects and the smell of pine and
skunk has been a favorite of patients and growers everywhere. Trainwreck is easy to grow indoors and out, although if you grow it out-
doors, make sure you have plenty of room because this plant gets hella (I say “hella” because the strain is from Northern California) tall.
It gives a good yield for a sativa, but, being an almost pure sativa, it definitely takes a while to finish. Mostly available as a clone, but a
few seed companies have managed to create a pretty good version as well. —editor@westcoastcannabis. com
