Minorities for Medical Marijuana

Dr. Lance McCarthy works as a board advisor for Minorities for Medical Marijuana, Inc. M4MM is a non profit organization with its corporate office based in Orlando Florida. It was established to focus on on providing advocacy, outreach, research, and training as it relates to the business, social reform, public policy, and health /wellness in the cannabis industry.  They actively connect people to opportunities in the marijuana industry for minorities.  The difficulty in the industry has always been the lack of access to capital, even when one has the skill set and is able to work in the industry.  M4MM is backed by many corporate donors as it facilitates progress and change, but disparities in the legal system and other challenges reveal how we need to make more inroads to open doors.  Government support happens on the state level, not federal, but many states give extra benefits to those who have a social equity or minority partner in their application.   Knowing the playing field and catting through the red tape help reveal opportunities that many do not know exist.  That is where M4MM clears the smoke.

NORML Deputy Director, Ellen Komp

Ellen Komp is Deputy Director, California NORML (state chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws). Ellen Komp is a longtime marijuana reform activist and author. She began in Los Angeles where she helped plan hemp rallies and volunteered for LA NORML and various initiative campaigns, including Prop. 215, which legalized medical marijuana in California in 1996. Ellen was an editor on Jack Herer’s book “The Emperor Wears No Clothes” and has published her own book, “Tokin’ Women: A 4000-Year Herstory.” She is currently deputy director of California NORML and she blogs at TokinWoman.blogspot.com.

Since its inception in 1970, NORML has been at the forefront in the world of cannabis and the call for legislative repeal.   Ellen walks us through the history of this once fringe, and now iconic organization.  When you listen to the changes and growth of NORML, you hear a piece of American history and how the cannabis industry grew from the underground to become a multi-billion dollar enterprise that funds government coffers in dozens of states.  Now that cannabis is respected and the focus of great medical research, legalization continues to grow.   As old restrictions are lifted, one might wonder if NORML will outlive its pioneering usefulness.  Quite the contrary, NORML continues the fight to move public toward legalizing legalizing the responsible use of marijuana by adults.  NORML still leads the way as it works for consumer access to high quality marijuana that is safe, convenient and affordable.  There is a long road ahead, but NORML not only knows how to travel the road, they helped pave it.

A Review of Vaping

Andrew Kline addresses the important of vaping.  After some surprising deaths and many injuries, a while ago, investigations into vaping ensued, legal questions arose and some states banned it altogether.  Many of the deaths and injuries resulted from the illicit market, but legitimate practices are understandably under scrutiny and reform.  Producer concern were for people to have the opportunity to purchase regulated, tested, reliable products, and to weed out the bad actors in the illegal market.  Research also shows that, when vaping cannabis, it must be done at a temperature that doesn’t change the molecular structure of the cannabinoids.  The critical issue of vaping drew the coordinated concern of research, law and production to immediately seek solutions.

Rio Anderson (Lady Sativa Farms) & Johnny Casali (Huckleberry Hills Farms), legacy Humboldt County growers – 2 of the “Humboldt High 5”

A look back to the Emerald Cup event in Santa Rosa, California.  W420 Lifestyles correspondent, Rich Walcoff, was on the field at the event, where he met with Rio & John, legacy Humboldt County growers with decades of experience.  They share their stories from then to now from the convention floor amid the cannabis convergence.

Rio Anderson reviews how growers have gone from the shadows, to marketing and telling people about what they do.  It is our legacy growers who are bringing their endemic values into to modern market that they welcome.  These values include, living close to the Earth, family heritage and small farms with regenerative agriculture.  Our pioneers feel that it is part of their duty to share something that was unique and beautiful and to preserve it as we go from the underground and into the bright light of modernization.

Johnny Casali reveals how, as much as things have changed, they have also remained the same.  Still, Johnny bears grave testimony of how eight years of his life were spent behind bars, merely for cultivating cannabis.   From his experiences, Johnny reminds us of the importance of community, family and friends.  This supersedes the quest for profit and blind ambition.  Experienced, down home growers are the roots of this plant business, and it is they who are instilling the core of what we need to move forward.

CBD in England

Jibril Farah is a pharmacist based in London who discovered e of the benefits of cannabis for people who were in treatment.  He tells us about CBD products in England, which became legal in 2019.  Marijuana became permissible with a prescription.  However, England did not readily have marijuana dispensaries so consumers had to have their prescriptions sent to The Netherlands, from where it would be shipped.  This added import fees to the cost.   Doctors were also nervous about prescribing cannabis because of potential legal repercussions if any problems were to result from its use.  These stories show reflect upon the universal problems that arise as we are in the transition of legalization.

Scientific Etraction Methods

When the George Floyd riots exploded in the United States, many cannabis dispensaries were vandalized and overrun by angry mobs bent on destruction of property.
Several of the SF Bay Area’s dispensaries were sought out, targeted, and invaded by angry mobs that stole millions of dollars in inventory – namely because of what they had created (ironically for peaceful, medicinal, and recreational reasons). This is a major reason why dispensaries refuse to disclose their operational locations even though they all have invested quite a bit in building security,

In this conversation, you will hear from Brad Robertson (Guild Extracts) and Big Red (Apex Extracts).

Brad Robertson has been on the forefront of cannabis cultivation and extraction processes for more than a decade. With one of the first cannabis plant tissue culture labs in California, Brad has been leading the way in genetic storage and mass micro-propagation techniques along with advanced extraction processes. Along the way, Brad founded two award-winning California licensed cannabis companies, Guild Extracts and Cali Labs. Through research and development in these companies, they have perfected and patented extraction, isolation and purification techniques for many compounds found in the cannabis plant including cannabinoids that contain their carboxyl group, decarboxylized cannabinoids as well as terpene extraction and isolation. Being on the forefront of cannabinoid purifications has given Brad and his team a unique place in the cannabis market. Being able to produce pure cannabinoids though their patented processes that require less solvent and energy than other processors has really made his team one of the leading cannabis companies in the industry. Guild Extracts produces award-winning cannabis concentrates including THCA Crystalline, high-terpene extracts (HTE), oil cartridges, shatter, and sauce ( www.guildextracts.com ). Cali Labs was founded as a medical plant tissue culture company on the forefront of cannabis cultivation and extraction processes.

Medical Practice Changes amid the Pandemic?

Dr. Jordan Tishler joins us to talk about the field of medicine and how it has changed with in the COVID era.  Live audio/video communication on computers facilitates interpersonal communication with a media rich boom that transverses distances great and small amid the sequestering of the the pandemic.  Telemedicine has participated in the boom and doctors meet with patients home Zoom in from their homes.  From this, doctors can see patients and how they live in their homes.  This can often give vital clues to aide in diagnostics and advice.  It also enables greater doctor/patient interaction for the aged and the non-ambulatory who do not travel well.  Doctors believe that many of these new found tools will remain after that restriction of the coronavirus have passed.  Dr. Tishler watched the practice of medicine change with cannabis, and now he is watching adapt with technology.
