COVER FEATURE
JAZMIN HUPP
CEO, Women Grow
KRYSTAL & CHELSEA
“I love the real meaning of feminism and I am Co-Owners, Yummi Karma
angry the word has been f***d with by people
who don’t believe that women and men “We love being women and we love selling
products for women.”
should be equal.”
THE INVIGORATING ENTREPRENEUR - Jazmin Hupp is the dynamic
CEO of Women Grow, a professional networking organization
that invites women into the legal cannabis industry. They operate
monthly meetings in 44 cities in the United States and Canada,
after only eighteen months of being in operation. Jazmin played
an integral part in the early branding and marketing pushes for
Women Grow that has made the organization such a success today.
Special Thanks to CBCB Berkeley & 420Nurses Los Angeles for providing photo shoot locations.
REMARKABLE WOMEN
Her entrepreneurial background is in media, tech and retail. Jazmin
has been a founding member of six startups and explained that half
of them had failed. She even offered up some sound advice to young
entrepreneurs, “You should look for other entrepreneurs who have
failed previously. They will be better at what they do based on having
had something that didn’t work out in the past.”
IN CANNABIS
Jazmin has been a cannabis user since the age of sixteen; she grew
up in a cannabis culture where using it was safe, and weed became an
alternative to alcohol for her. She is the daughter of a jazz musician –
hence Jazmin with a ‘z’. After growing up in Southern Oregon, she went
on to college in New York and quickly realized the cannabis was not a
readily available option for most people.
In honor of Women’s History Month, Edibles List Magazine would like to
present you some of the most Remarkable Women in Cannabis.
PIONEERS PAVING THE WAY
When we first decided to do an issue
dedicated to women, I never realized what
I would come to learn about this industry.
Currently, the perception is that the marijuana
industry is male dominated; however, after
getting to know the women behind our
business, I found that is simply not the case.
Cannabis is one of those rare things that
does not discriminate and is all inclusive.
More and more women are flocking to our
industry and I am so thrilled to see how
many strong, driven and truly noteworthy
females have found their way into the
world of cannabis. I for one, would never in
a million years have thought that I would
end up here. The overwhelming consensus
of the women we featured, is that: we did
not choose cannabis, cannabis chose us.
I also did not think that women would feel
as though it is an asset to be a female in
weed versus other industries, and very few
women reported actually having negative
experiences in this industry. I wish I could say

the same. One of the first cannabis events
attended, after leaving the fashion industry,
was CannaCon in Seattle. I was unpleasantly
catcalled on the showfloor in front of other
vendors by a man who was a bit miffed
because I would not give him my number.
Now, a year later it is rare to see that behavior.
Thankfully, the industry has grow up in a year.
In honor of Women’s History Month and
We Love Cannabis Year (Okay, I made that
up , guilty!) Edibles List Magazine would
like to present these Remarkable Women
in Cannabis. Though it is no surprise that
women have such an affinity to marijuana
seeing as the plant itself that produces the
flower in which we smoke, vape, eat, etc.
is in fact a female. There are many more
amazing ladies in the weed world, but we
could not list them all. Here are a few that
we are sincerely inspired to know. I cannot
wait to see who makes the list next year
and remember ladies in the wise words of
We had a great conversation about being the CEO of a female
company, she even joked about how she is probably the person who
gets hit on the least in this industry, due to her job. On a more serious
note, she shed light on some of the issues that significantly hinder
women from entering the industry, including the policies surrounding
child protective services. She went on to explain that she has made
the choice to not have children in order to continue her work without
having to live in fear that her kids will be taken. Jazmin touched upon
something that truly affects women in this industry and is continuing to
keep women out which is simply unacceptable.
KYMBER WARD
Beyonce, ‘We have to step up and take
the lead!’
Kymber is the Director of Sales and a Staff
Editor for Edibles Magazine. Pre-cannabis
she was an International account executive
for a high end dress company as well as the
licensing coordinator for a premium denim
company. Kymber came into the cannabis
industry just over a year ago and she won’t be
leaving any time soon. Though her motives
for entering this industry were financial
promise, it only took one patient story to
change it all for her. Now, she works to further
cannabis awareness and hemp education
through building strategic partnerships in the
cannabis indusry.

I have to tell you, this woman is a treasure trove of advice and knowledge
especially when it comes to entrepreneurship. She explained the
art of effective communication, “There is a performance aspect to
how I communicate, but that is because I value clear and effective
communication. So, anytime you are communicating with someone
you are performing in someway.”
Jazmin was clearly meant to be an entrepreneur and leader. She has
always had a hard time accepting things that are unfair. Her wisdom
goes beyond her years and it probably has something to do with the
failures she has had to overcome. She persevered and came out on
top with Women Grow.
THE DYNAMIC DUO - Krystal and Chelsea Kitahara are the sister-duo
behind this year’s Best Savory Edibles Winner, Yummi Karma. YK is a
marijuana infused edible company specializing in products marketed
to women including tinctures, chips, sauces and topicals. The Kitahara
sisters were entrepreneurs from the start. “Way back in the day, we were
the Cleaner Sisters. I would charge a dollar to vacuum, and would pay
(younger sister) Chelsea to do it for ten cents,” explained Krystal.
That business spirit only grew from there. The girls tried several small
business ventures, even taking on the organic orange juice market during
college. Krystal believed in the honor system, and left a refrigerated cart
of unpasteurized juice for her classmates. “I was pleasantly surprised
that everyone paid. I learned that having a quality product was important,
and the customers would follow,” Krystal said.
That philosophy is what fostered the growth of Yummi Karma. The
sisters were active in the cannabis industry, and wanted to develop
products that they saw lacking at their favorite collectives. “Basically
anything that appealed to women. It seemed like everything was made
for guys and we wanted to change that,” Chelsea explained.
That’s exactly what they did, but it wasn’t easy. “The paradigms have
shifted in the last two years. Being women in the cannabis industry wasn’t
as accepted when we first started out. I would walk into a collective and
the buyer would assume I was just a rep -- not the owner. Now, we get a
lot more respect,” Krystal said.
Respect has grown between the sisters too. Through the hard work and
success of Yummi Karma, Krystal and Chelsea have learned that they
balance each other out, especially in stressful situations. Chelsea said
it best. “We’re like yin and yang. Krystal has strengths where I have
weaknesses, and vice-versa. It all works out in the end.”
While outgoing Krystal serves a more public role in the company,
Chelsea, with a business degree from the University of Oregon, handles
more of the back-office operational duties. Even though it is long hours,
and never-ending meetings, the sisters enjoy the ride. “Being able to
navigate through this process without massive amounts of red tape is
freedom for an entreprenuer. We have been able to test things. We make
a small batch, sell them to a few dispensaries, see how the move and
then go from there.”
I have had the pleasure of working with these two ladies for quite some
time now and I have to admit their Drift Away tincture is something that
stays in my makeup bag and goes everywhere with me. They are truly
strong women, whose products are both tasty and effective.

CANNABIS AND THE MODERN WOMAN
PAUL FIMBRES
STAFF EDITOR
Anyone with a bit of common sense knows
that cannabis isn’t limited to any one gender.
Both men and women can benefit from the
medicinal, therapeutic and recreational
benefits that the plant is capable of providing.
However, much of the conversation around
cannabis in modern culture has revolved
around male-centric or unisex concerns.
The truth is there are a number of ways in
which women uniquely benefit. This article is
a look at opportunities and situations where,
if you are a woman with these female-centric
concerns, you can potentially find new
opportunities or solutions for yourself.
REASONS TO CONSUME
Menstrual cramps can be a debilitating
problem for some women. The related pain
and duration of incidence can be enough
to impair their ability to work and engage
in day-to-day functions. As with any illness,
society’s primary goal for patients is pain
relief and improving function in society. In
addition to its long-standing reputation as
a general cramp pain reliever that female
cannabis-consumers worldwide can attest
to, efforts are being made into creating
menstrual-cramp specific cannabis-based
treatments. In addition to the standard ways
to relieve menstrual cramps using marijuana
products, there are also efforts at targeted
products like suppositories, such as the
Foria Relief pill, which offers 60mg of THC
and 10mg of CBD per dose (this is 6x the
recommended dosage in most medical
states, and such a product should only
be used by those with experience and a
tolerance).
Both men and women can experience eating
disorders, and we encourage anybody
who fears they may have one to contact a
medical professional directly. However, for
those women looking to tilt their appetite a
bit in one direction or another, cannabis can
be just the thing they’re looking for. Cannabis
usage has been tied to healthier body mass,
as people who consume are more likely to
fall into their respective medical body mass
index (BMI).
REASONS TO BE IN THE INDUSTRY
The burgeoning cannabis industry is one that
still seems to be driven by small business
owners, a category where women and
minorities are more likely to be represented
and given a fair shake, and in growing
numbers. In industries where monolithic
businesses are allowed to thrive- see the
beer industry, for example- power tends to
coagulate into the hands of a few powerful
and extremely wealthy men.
Thanks to the decentralized and young
nature of this industry, the cannabis industry
is one where women-owned businesses
are managing to make a lot of headway.
Considering that cannabis is already a billion
dollar a year industry and growing, right now
is the perfect time for women to get in and
make their mark.
Researchers from Washington State
University found results that prove more
women should be smoking more cannabis.
While looking to find out the effectiveness
of the plant’s pain-healing qualities over
time, the university found that women are 30
percent more susceptible to the pain-healing
effects of weed than their male counterparts.
They also found that this just builds up their
tolerance. After conducting experiments on
female rats who have a menstrual cycle
similar to that of women, the researchers
found that compared to males, females
needed to up their dose of THC after only
10 days of cannabis exposure. Since women
get higher, they build a higher (pun intended)
tolerance to it. Thus, the mystery behind why
your stoner girlfriend can out smoke you is
finally solved.

to people to open up by the dump or by the railroad tracks and then
clean up those areas. In Sacramento, we opened right next to an
abandoned lot that was full of trash. We had it cleaned up within a
week; we worked hard to give back to the whole community. We had
a program at the dispensary where you donate your time or skill in
trade for medicine. That was how we were able to offer so many free
classes,” she proclaimed.

We discussed some of the biggest differences between business in
the beginning versus the industry we live in today, “Sometimes it’s
disheartening to go to the business expos and hear the business
people talking down about people who use cannabis, they are just in
it for the money. It is also sad to see some of the marginalized people
who were able to come into the industry in the beginning are now
being pushed out,” said Aundre.
AUNDRE SPECIALE
BRITTANY CONFER
MORIAH BARNHART
Director of Public Relations/Communications, Foria
“I am just happy to be out here helping
women.”
“You are the leader of your team. Educate
and empower yourself.”
THE SENSUAL ENTHUSIAST - Brittany Confer helped launch Foria
alongside with Matthew Gerson in May 2014. She went to Penn State
and received a degree in Communications. After that she lived in Miami
for a few years, but ultimately ended up at a boutique public relations
agency in Beverly Hills. One day Matthew walked in and began talking
about cannabis, Brittany was immediately drawn to the project. Shortly
thereafter, Brittany left her company and called Matthew to let him
know, the very next day she started working at Foria.
THE MAINSTREAM CANNAMOM - Moriah Barnhart has been
giving her daughter CBD to treat a brain tumor since 2013. She knew
from the beginning that there were far too many children suffering
because their parents did not know that cannabis might be a way to
help. She explained that it was her own child’s diagnosis that made
her see that there were so many other parents out there dealing with
the same thing.
She explained that the statistic that there are currently 26 drugs
approved by the FDA for male sexual pleasure, however, there was
not a single one on the market for women. This notion drives Brittany
and she explained, “For the first time I was not looking up at the clock
wondering if it was 5 o’clock yet. From the very beginning, I was inspired
to do anything that involves cannabis and increasing the quality of life
for people. It’s been great!”
Moriah founded CannaMoms in 2014, the first and only organization
that caters to helping children who need cannabis as a medicine.
According to Moriah, CannaMoms began as a community and
support system that transformed to informal lobbying. Moriah
explained her motives behind founding CannaMoms, “I saw needs
I had in my journey and all I could think about were the children. I
wanted to make sure that no other parent would have to watch their
children suffer because they didn’t know [cannabis could help].”
Clearly, Brittany found her calling and a home in an industry. She was
one of the first in-house PR teams for a cannabis company. Foria
Pleasure has quite possibly been the best marketing campaign in
the industry; now Foria Relief has already reached over 200 press
hits since their launch last month. Brittany and I went into a long
conversation about how Foria’s success is really helping the industry,
Once upon a time when you searched for cannabis and sex, it was
really hard to find some without “XXX” attached to it, and there was
absolutely no educational material on female sexual health. Now
because of Foria, when you search those terms you find a multitude of
webpages discussing cannabis and female sexual health.

She also goes on to explain how she has used CannaMoms as a
non-offensive way to bridge the gap between the cannabis industry
and the mainstream. CannaMoms is a 501(c)(3) (pending), which has
a board consisting of attorneys, physicians, politically connected
and highly credentialed individuals. She knew that if CannaMoms
was not set up correctly, they would never penetrate the minds of
the mainstream individuals they are trying to reach.
She described how she had to carve out her own place in the
industry since there was nowhere that parents really fit in. She
began working with Women Grow, which has become a resource
by networking with other woman who have helped them in their
quest to break the stigma of cannabis as a medicine for children.
Moriah believes that in the early stages of the industry women were
disregarded until some of the women based organizations began
popping up. “There is something empowering about empowering
other women,” said Moriah.
Lastly, Moriah had some wise words for parents interested in
cannabis as a medicine for their children, “Educate and empower
yourself. We are taught to not question authority, but this is the first
time in history where parent’s feelings and rights are coming before
science. Trust yourself in that you know what’s best for your child.”

She explained to me that Foria is all about “increasing pleasure and
diminishing pain, naturally”. Though a man created Foria, Matthew is
very serious about helping and empowering women and Brittany has
been a one helluvah of a soldier in that mission. She explained that
she is extremely grateful to Matthew for bringing her into the company.
Foria is literally changing the way that the mainstream media views our
industry. Brittany explained to me that, “Being a woman in our industry,
at this point in time, has been an advantage because the media has
been so female focused lately. Media is hungry for stories in the
industry and we [Foria] is happy to give it to them. It is through what we
are doing and organizations like Women Grow that will inevitably help
empower women to take over the industry.”

Aundre is one of the original few still standing that braved the new
world in order to create the cannabis industry we know today. If you
are interested in learning more information about Aundre or her
collectives please go to:
CBCBBerkeley.com
PhytologieOakland.com
AbatinSacramento.com
Director, CBCB Berkeley
Director, Phytologie Oakland
Director, Abatin Wellness Center Sacramento
“Be fearless, choose love. Don’t discount
love, volunteering and community activism
because that will help get you support, it’s
incredibly powerful.”
THE COMPASSIONATE CAREGIVER - Aundre Speciale, Director of
CBCB Berkeley, Phtyologie Oakland and Abatin Wellness Center in
Sacramento, is one of the best souls I have had the pleasure of coming
into contact with. She embodies one of the founding pillars of our
industry, compassion.
Back in the early 90’s, Aundre’s neighbor in Venice, California, was
none other than the Hemperor himself, Jack Herer. Around the same
time that The Emperor Wears No Clothes was being written, Herer was in
the process of opening The Hemp Booth at Venice Beach, responsible
for educating vistors about the benefits of hemp and cannabis. Aundre
described the time Jack asked her to help him work the booth, “He
asked if I wanted to work his hemp booth, I literally had to ask what
hemp was. He explained that it was pot and my answer was ‘Hell yeah!’”
From then on, Aundre was a permanent fixture in the Herer entourage.
She lived and toured on the hemp bus along with him Captain Ed,
the other hemp godfather and several loyalists to the cause. She
explained that the bus toured around, mostly in California, to educate
people about cannabis as a food, fuel, fiber, fun and medicine. “This
was some time in the early 90s at the height of the “Just Say No!” and
D.A.R.E. campaigns and pot, weed and marijuana were all dirty words,”
explained Aundre. She went on to say that because of this uncertain
time, they never knew what kind of situation they would be walking
into at the next stop. “Sometimes we would be met with protestors,
and other times we were met with rally’s in Jack’s honor,” she said.
When her time with the hemp campaign ended, she still remained
active among the cannabis activism scene. She served on the board of
Marijuana Policy Project and was a founding member of Americans for
Safe Access. She also spent time raising her family, until 2004 when
she went full force back into the industry. She desired to create a place
that she would want to go. A safe access point where the fundamental
idea of compassionate caregiving was stretched further than what
most were doing.
Aundre opened up several dispensaries with a focus on working
with the patients to give back to the community. Ultimately, she
opened a fully female run dispensary in Sacramento for less than a
$10,000 investment; however, she did things completely different
than the typical dispensary. “We opened a community center
next door that offered over 200 classes available to the entire
community for free. These classes ranged from CPR classes to
Veteran support groups, even free haircuts and meals,” said Aundre.
She explained to me that the Choose Love Business Plan, consists of
choosing love and compassion. When she began creating her style
of collective, she kept the community in mind. “I used to give advice
BRIANNA “BRI” P.
Executive Assistant, Remedy Plus
“Never allow anyone to limit you, don’t
accept ‘No’ as an answer & always trust your
instincts.”
THE DEFIANT PATIENT - Brianna works as an Executive Assistant and
right hand - to Abdul, the owner of Remedy Plus, an edible company
specializing in gummies. In fact, Bri and Abdul knew each other from the
“real world” before cannabis. They were co-workers in an admissions
office for a college. In fact, when Abdul began Remedy, he tried to get
Bri on his team, but she just was not comfortable with the industry yet.
Midway through Bri’s undergraduate studies, she had to put her
education and career on hold to become a full-time patient. She was
diagnosed with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) along with an
autoimmune disease. Several diagnoses later, not only did doctors
find a pituitary tumor, they found a tumor on the left cerebellum.
After her diagnosis, Bri went through several surgeries. Naturally, Bri
was put on a pharmaceutical regiment that left her sick and unable to
have a functioning life, so she decided to take herself off the medicine.
Four months later, she went in to see her doctor. She described the
scenario to me, “My doctor ordered an MRI and told me that I had
responded to medicine because my tumor had shrunk. I kind of
laughed and told her for the first time that I hadn’t taken my medicine
in four months and that I had been smoking cannabis every night. We
then proceeded to get into a full-blown argument and she told me

I was playing Russian roulette with my life, and that I was gambling on
something with no medical benefits or research.”
Bri is a powerhouse, I happen to know she just recently underwent another
brain surgery. Within two days, was emailing and carrying on as if it were
business as usual. Bri is one of those people that has truly overcome trials
and tribulations while utilizing cannabis. She went on to tell me she cannot
really smoke anymore because coughing bothers her head, so Remedy
Plus gummies are getting her through.

team made sure that Bhang paid all taxes and advised them to take
all existing “regulations” and go above them. For instance, “We triple
test our products; first, at the time of extraction we test in-house for
potency and contaminants. Then it goes to a 3rd party lab to be tested
again for potency. Then we infuse the product and take one sample
from each batch and send it back to the lab to be tested for potency
and contaminants as well. This is where the industry is going.”
In addition, to being involved in all aspects of the business, Lexi is
raising two young girls who are fully aware of what it is their mother
and father do. “We have raised them in an environment where
cannabis is known as a medicine and not a drug. They understand that
although not all people share this same view it isn’t something they
need to fear. We operate from a set of morals and ethics rather than
any failed, fear mongering, prohibitionist policies,” explained Lexi.

husband “Chief,” are the licensees of Bhang Chocolate for California, and
have been working with the company since its infancy in 2010. Bhang
offers high quality infused products.
She explained that cannabis is all that she has ever done. She grew up
in Orange County and cannabis was something that her family was very
open to. She then moved on to dispensaries. Shanna has owned, operated
and consulted for between 16-18 dispensaries throughout her career.
Shanna first came across Bhang when then Sales Representative, now
Washington state licensee, Jon Paul, walked into her dispensary with a
brilliantly packaged edible. At the time, edibles were not on par to what
we are used to now, and Shanna instantly gravitated to the company.
They began working together, and Shanna began using her connections
to introduce Bhang to the masses. By 2011, Shanna and her husband
teamed up with Scott Van Rixel, Owner of Bhang, to handle distribution
in California. In 2012, the Queen and her Chief, officially became a part of
the Bhang family, as licensees. This meant that they would take over all
distribution and production for all of California.
When I asked why she uses cannabis, Shanna mentioned that she has
severe anxiety and insomnia, so sometimes she will vape indica to help;
however, she had some valid remarks about that question, “I don’t really
think there should have to be a reason as to why someone medicates. I
don’t medicate during the day for the most part, especially with edibles, but
take me to a BBQ where I can relax and sure, I’ll nibble on a chocolate bar or
smoke. I do prefer to vape though, I think it is the cleanest way to smoke and
more discreet. Basically if the time is right, I don’t think I need a reason use it.”
Shanna brought up a really great point, this is a plant, we shouldn’t have to
be ashamed or need to have a reason to use it when we do. Now that we have
states that are legal for adult use, and as long as people abide by the laws, they
should not be made to feel as though they need a reason to use cannabis.
Bhang is one of the “corporate” companies in the cannabis industry and
Shanna explained that the decision to setup a corporate structure was vital
the success of Bhang today.
“Bhang is from the people; I was born and raised into the industry. Her legal

THE TALENTED TECHIE - From Yogi to tech mogul Meghan Larson
vows to be the absolute best at what she does. Meghan and her
partner founded Adistry, the premier cannabis marketing network.
Meghan’s background is in marketing for art studios and various
creative organizations. She met her business partner who was
looking to take on Weedmaps and other finders when they realized
there was no one offering a great platform for digital marketing in
the cannabis industry; thus, Adistry was born.
Adistry is an advertising platform that offers the industry a solution
for all cannabis marketing needs. It was also the very first video ad
server for the cannabis industry. They offer a full spectrum of services
including ad design and campaign management to publishing ads
across their extensive publisher networks which include events,
magazines, and websites.
Meghan found her niche in the market and was able to carve out a
whole new section for her to belong in. She is not a baker of delicious
edibles nor is she a collective owner; instead, she is the head of a
canna-tech company. I was intrigued to know what it was like from
her perspective of not only being a woman in the industry, but the
female face of a tech company. Meghan’s answer was perfect:
“I have always been taught by my father to never think women were
different. Man, woman, or Martian I want to the best.”
According to Meghan, this industry has been overwhelmingly
welcoming to women. Right now the market may be perceived as
predominantly comprised of white males ranging from 21-40 years
old. However, this does not necessarily lend itself to creativity, which
leads me to believe is precisely the reason as to why there is an
influx of feminine energy coming into this business.
Meghan says it best – “We are all the troublemaker pioneers and
we are all in this together”. The weed industry is on the precipice of
change, so men and women alike are accepted and welcomed in
the pot universe.

THE GLORIOUS GROWER - Alexa “Lexi” Davis is one of the owners of
Emerald Family Farms (EFF), a company representing Master Gardeners,
Breeders, Healers, and small batch private reserve farmers, that has
become one of the fastest growing cooperatives of farms in the Emerald
Triangle. They produce a wide range of products from CO2 oil, shatter,
disposable pens, edibles and of course some of the best organic flower
on the market. Emerald Family Farms has a network of subsidiary brands
that they help bring to market and offer a safe haven for smaller farmers.
Emerald Family Farms, like its name suggests, is a family striving to bring
everyone to their fullest potential. They enjoy bringing smaller famers
into their network and sourcing the absolute best products the market
has to offer. They are also adamant about keeping the pioneers such
as third and fourth generation cultivators with invaluable knowledge in
the industry.
Both Lexi and her husband Isaiah, were born and raised in Humboldt
County and have always had a true sense of the roots of this cannabis
industry. Less than a year ago Lexi and Isaiah teamed up with four other
like-minded individuals to create a wholly organic cooperative, which now
provides top-quality pesticide and chemical free medicine for patients.
Emerald Family Farms is comprised of six active partners who not only
oversee, but are involved in every aspect of the day-to-day operations of
the company. Although too busy to give themselves official job titles at
the moment, Lexi serves in a broad management capacity, meaning on
any given day one can find her facilitating communication between the
managing partners, streamlining production in the warehouse, working
with testing laboratories, handling sales, social media, and marketing.
Lexi and Isaiah have been active in lobbying efforts for local cannabis
farmers. “We set it [Emerald Family Farms] up because Isaiah and Patrick
Murphy, another partner at EFF, were policy Co-Chairs of California
Cannabis Voice Humboldt (CCVH) and were instrumental in drafting the
medical cannabis land use ordinance for Humboldt County.” The ordinance
passed unanimously and Humboldt County became the first and only
county to regulate medical cannabis under current California laws. The
idea was to attempt to bring farmers into compliance and get Humboldt
County’s stricter cultivation guidelines grandfathered in before state
licenses come into play. “Our passions switched, it was no longer about
risk versus reward; it was about what was right and wrong. We had a moral
obligation to protect the 15,000 or so small farms in Humboldt and create
equal access for small farms into the market place.” Emerald Family Farms
was formed from a set of values including, equal access, safe working
environments, responsible agriculture, and protecting the small farmers.
The partners at Emerald Family Farms are passionate about giving
back to both our industry and their community. Lexi explains that they
recently set up a question and answer type workshop with their lawyers
and advisors for some of the smaller farms and companies, in order to
answer questions about compliance and what to do when things go legal
recreationally in the future. The meeting was attended by 55 people and
was a spinoff from the farmer compliance workshops that CCVH started
As a mother working in the cannabis industry, Lexi had some
enlightening advice for mothers who may be afraid of being in the
public eye, associated with the cannabis world, “I worked for
Child Protective Services for years before I had children, and
now in this industry, I have a deeper understanding of what they
are looking for when they are coming in. It is a matter of child
endangerment from many different aspects of this industry for
them. We are open and transparent with our children, but our
home is our safe haven and we keep them away from all the
risks involved with a cannabis business in regards to any minors.”
“I am so humbled by the fact that this industry is finally breaking
down walls that should have been gone long before. This industry at
the core of my culture and life since the beginning, and although we
have just broken the tip off the iceberg, there is no stopping us now.”

MJ SANSOUCI
Co-Founder, Strictly Edibles
“I remember some clubs that we definitely put
back because I was female vendor, but we won
them over anyway!”
THE TEAM PLAYER - MJ and her husband started Strictly Edibles,
an edible company based in the Bay Area, after having a next-door
neighbor who was unable to smoke after getting sick and it was
drastically impacting his life. “We realized there was a real need for
people to medicate without smoking. They need a cleaner way to
get it into their system,” said MJ.
She explained to me that their company is one big team. Her and her
husband are Strictly Edibles all the way! Everything they do is in an
effort to benefit the company. She told me that having a company
with her husband is not only “challenging but rewarding.” MJ was
actually born on 4/20, so it is evident that she was meant to be in the
industry. Her background consists of growing pot, waiting tables,
being a Veterinarian Assistant and making t-shirts; however, she
found a home in cannabis.
Strictly Edibles Collective offers some of the best edibles I have ever
had. The Tomi Cakes and doughnuts are not only award winning,
but absolutely delicious. We have known MJ and Strictly edibles for
a while and we have been fortunate to watch them grow. They have
fantastic products that come from a great team.

ZEN POTION
Zen Potion - Niruana Cannabis Tea - 77mg
Zen Potion is a new cannabis infused coffee and tea line of edibles.
The first thing we noticed was the ridiculously gorgeous packaging.
Zen Potion has great branding with pyramid-like triangular boxes
that are extremely visually appealing. It felt like I was committing an
act of vandalism opening it. Upon breaking it open, a fancy teabag
appeared full of fragrant herbs. Additionally, inside the packaging,
Zen Potion includes a thoughtful Buddhist quote. On average,
cannabis infused tea bags consist of dosing that ranges anywhere
from 2.5 to 20mg. Zen Potion set a new bar with a whopping 77mg
for a cup of tea! They also offer a 7.5mg hibiscus tea and a 50mg
black chai tea, in addition to infused coffee K-cups.
The tea has an earthy, vrey herbal taste, full of flavor and aroma.
We suggest adding organic honey or maple syrup and/or almond
milk to your liking. The teabag is strong enough for two cups of
tea. We would recommend making at least two cups, or brewing
one cup and then brewing a less strong cup with the used tea bag
afterwards. The tea definitely does its job. It leaves with you a great
body high, that might be a little heavy on the eyes, but amazing for
sweet dreams, with no fuzzy weed hangover. We recommend this
one to tea lovers, patients looking for a healthy way to consume
their medicine, or anyone in need of a ‘staycation.’ (Just be sure to
pre-stock the house with snacks - there won’t be any driving).
BOSS LADY EDIBLES
A new trend in the infusion market is cannabis bath bhombs.
What better way to get your meds than directly through the skin?
Boss Lady’s bath bhombs are large balls that dissolve into your
bath water, creating an infused bath dream escape from pain. We
highly recommend trying out their bath bhombs. Not only are they
medicated with cannabis, they have healing essential oils and just
a hint of menthol for topical pain relief that is unmatched.
Bath Bhombs & Cookies and Cream 1000mg Bar
Their chocolate bars are 1000mg and will hit you like a truck. Proceed
with extreme CAUTION. This, ladies and gentlemen is 1000mg. if
you know that you can tolerate the whole bar, congratulations!
This will last most patients a few days. Fortunately, the label is
very clearly written. So if you eat the whole bar, you didn’t read it.
White chocolate isn’t everyone’s favorite, but because it is such a
high-dose edible, you don’t need to eat very much to get the job
done. There wasn’t a detectable medicine or awkward taste at all.
I personally give it a high score for taste. We really like this candy
bar and it definitely does the trick! Plus, there is an added benefit,
they are cost effective! Since they are so high-dose, you can buy
one and eat it over time. Just refrigerate and break pieces off as
you desire to, and enjoy!
HEAVENLY SWEET MEDIBLES
Heavenly Baked - Maui Wowie Krispie Bar - (Sativa 147mg)
24
The Heavenly Baked Maui Wowie Krispie Bar by Heavenly Sweet
Medibles is a far cry from your average infused rice crispy treat.
While super yummy, it’s not low calorie! The recommended dosage
is 3-4 bites to get started, depending on your tolerance you might
need more to feel the effects on this one. While you can taste the
medication, it definitely left a chill, relaxed feeling. This particular bar
has a Sativa infusion, so while all edibles take on a “body high” type
feeling (because the THC is absorbed through the lower G.I. tract),
you may notice that it still leaves you functional rather than couch
locked like a Hybrid or Indica edible would. We recommend this one
to anyone with a sweet tooth who isn’t fond of the gummie candies or
items that need to be refrigerated. Beyond the extra points on being
strain specific (we love Maui Wowie!), Heavenly Sweet Medibles
takes their Maui Wowie Krispie Bar presentation to the next level.
In addition to the sensual flavors of coconut, marshmallow, and
toasted macadamia nuts, the krispie bar is covered and dipped in
white chocolate, then drizzled with dark chocolate, and then topped
with more toasted macadamia nuts. Who needs a fruity cocktail on
the beach when you can take this staycation with you anywhere.

KARIN CLARKE
President - KC Business Solutions ,
Cornerstone Membership Sales Director SW/SoCal, Women Grow
Sales Representative, Making You Better Brands (Xternal)
“It is incredibly advantageous to be a woman
in this industry. Don’t take ‘no’ for an answer.”
THE SOBER CANNA-SALESWOMAN - Karin came into the industry
by way of payment solutions for cannabis companies including point
of sale banking at dispensaries. She has an extensive background in
Sales and Sales Training and for her it was a no brainer to step into the
cannabis industry.
She uses no/low THC products, as she has been sober for 28 years
and does not like the feeling of being high. Low THC products do
however; help with her arthritis and anxiety. She also uses cannabis
topicals to significantly improve her quality of life. She has not taken
pharmaceuticals for her pain in almost 3 years and attributes that to
cannabis. You can read more about her story in our February 2016
issue (see Issue #21).
When I asked her how she likes being a woman in the industry her
answer was short and simple, “Awesome, it’s inspiring to be here. I
think being a woman and being educated about cannabis and the
endocannabinoid system has an affect on how people perceive you
in the industry.”
She also explained how the industry has room for everyone. Right now,
there are two very distinct types of women in the industry. There are
the professionals and those who embrace the “sex sells” idea. Karin
noted, “I am not a fan of exploiting women to sell anything.” Although
there is a place here for both, it would be nice to see a bridge in the gap.
Here is some great advice from Karin to someone looking to get into
the industry:
“Jump in and get educated! This plant provides medicine as well as
getting high. For me, I am on the medicine side of things. I think there
is room for everyone. Most importantly, do not judge. Do not judge
cannabis as a plant and do not judge the people using it for whatever
reason they need. I was one of those people who judged for a long time
and I missed out on so much.”
Karin also owns KC Business Solutions, which provides corporate
background checks, payroll and payment solutions, as well as business
consulting and training for the cannabis industry.

TANGANYIKA ‘TANGY’
CEO/Founder, Jayn Green
Author, The Canna Print
“Women are powerful. Use your power for good.”
THE FEARLESS FIGHTER - Tanganyika aka Tangy has appeared
in our magazine previously (see Issue No. 18) as a part of our
Veterans issue. Tangy is a USMC veteran, who has dedicated
her life to advocating for cannabis. She began her career in
cannabis as the Executive Assistant at TKO Edibles. She loved
working for the company, but bigger things were in her future.
She has a cannabis brand called Jayn Green that features a full line
of self care products including beard oil, beard balm and body butter.
The products all stemmed from someone sitting next to her at a 420
College with a terrible smelling salve on. She felt that there had to be
a better way, so she began making her own topicals that not only
worked but had an amazing scent for pleasure as well.
Activism is a vital part of this industry, and Tangy is absolutely involved.
Recently, she spoke at the NAACP about adding diversity into the
industry. She explained to me that she feels that minorities should not
be left behind in this industry and that she is worried that is beginning
to happen. Her goal is to help educate minorities about the benefits of
cannabis, “There are so many entrepreneurial opportunities, and we
can really use our intellect to shine here.”
Tangy is a fighter; she went through two tours in Iraq while in the
military. She notes that this industry’s fight is long from over and how
important it is that we stay inclusive to everyone. It shouldn’t matter
who you are or what your background is, if you have something to offer
our community accepts you. She even told me her favorite aspects of
the industry, “I love this industry. I love the grind of it. I love the passion
of the people. I love helping people.”
Tangy is the co-producer of the cannabis documentary The Secret
Life of Trimmers, and she just published an eBook starter guide for
Cannaprenuers called, The Canna Print. It is a complete guide about
how to get started in the industry, how to get involved in a non-legal
state, where to find funding options, how you can become an investor
in the industry, 50+ benefits of cannabis and so much more.

MACKENZIE MEDICINALS
Topical Tincture Healing Oil
Mackenzie Medicinals Topical Oil is cannabis oil blended with other essential
oils to further enhance the healing properties of cannabis. The base is organic
coconut oil, and the bottle contains 450mg of THC. In addition to cannabis
infused oil, this fine little topical tincture includes Copaiba - oil from the
Amazon is a wound healer and anti-inflammatory, Emu oil - heals burns and is
a transdermal, and Tamanu - from the South Pacific which is an anti-neuralgic
and an antibacterial. According to the owners of Mackenzie Medicinals,
patients have reported that it has helped them with pain from arthritis to
fibromyalgia, as well helping to heal skin infections, burns and rashes.
I have inadvertently carried the spray in a jacket I always wear. In fact,
I walked into something - I am kind of clumsy - and had a giant bruise on
my hip while out with friends one night. Since I happened to have the
topical healing oil in my pocket, and within fifteen minutes after using
it, the throbbing from the bruise was gone. It is no wonder they won first
place for Best Topical Tincture in the 2015 Best of Edibles List Awards.
It is smooth when sprayed on and leaves the skin feeling moisturized. For more
information about Mackenzie Medicinals visit: mackenziemedicinals.com
Amongst the many chews available on the market, Veda Chews sets
themselves apart with an unparallelled medical product. We really enjoyed
these mini chocolate caramel chews. The products they have available are
Gold CBD, Silver CBD, Indica, Hybrid, Sativa, and Mega Hybrid. With their
products ranging from 40mg to 210mg they have taken the guesswork out
of dosing with each package separated and individually packaged into 4
doses. It helps that they are individually sealed in a pharmaceutical-grade
tray ensuring you eat one at a time.
VEDA CHEWS
Chocolate Caramel Chews & Topical Roll-On Balm
The THC flavor is strong, though they’re small, so it’s easy to digest. The
recommended wait time for additional dosing is approximately 1 hour, to
which I impatiently ate another about 40 mins in. Great body and head high,
long-lasting with no hangover feeling. The high is light but noticeable and
gives you some nice warm-fuzzies, and maybe a few extra laughs. What we
really love about this product is the fact that it’s Non-GMO, Sugar-Free and
Vegan. I’ve finally found what I’m looking for! - a truly healthy edible.
In addition to the chews, they also offer a Veda Balm, a CBD topical product
with 60mg THC and 60mg CBD (in the small roll-on), the large balm has
exactly twice as much medicine, infused with 180mg THC and 180mg CBD.
BHANG CHOCOLATES
Bhang Chocolate Bars & Vape Pens
Bhang is one of the most renowned brands in our young industry. Scott Van
Rixel, the CEO and his team of licensees have turned a chocolate bar into
an international sensation. Scott came into the industry with a great brand
and amazing product (with fantastic packaging) and teamed up with the right
people, and now the brand is in six states and has an international presence.
At this point I am sure many of you have heard of Bhang, if not tried their
products, but for anyone who has not tried one of their chocolates or someone
looking for a safe and consistent edible to start with, Bhang would be it. If you
are new to edibles, I would suggest trying the ice chocolate bar. It is peppermint
milk chocolate using a hybrid CO2 infusion. Bhang’s chocolate is made using
fairly traded Venezuelan criollo cacao and only the finest natural ingredients. In
this specific bar, the flavor of cannabis is virtually undetectable and the flavor
brings me back to when I was little and would eat the mint chocolates left on
the pillows at a hotel. However, do note that this bar is 180mg, so start go and
go slow. The bar is scored out in 45mg pieces, therefore, you can portion it out
depending on your tolerance.
28
Additionally, I tasted the fire chocolate, cookies & cream, cherries & cream and
CBD caramel bars. I liked the fire chocolate because it is has a kick to it that
actually creeps up on you. The textured packaging is eye catching and
sleek. They even include barcodes, complete nutrition facts, along with
all pertinent information.
The Bhang vaporizer cartridges are smooth and clean tasting. I tried the
550mg All Natural Purple Diesel. It was great tasting and incredibly effective.
The company offers a few lines of cartridge, the Bhang Black Private Reserve
series (testing at 70%), the Pure Oil (testing at 50-60%) and the All Natural (2030%) lines as well. They also have the Bhang Perfecto, a discreet disposable
pen filled with the All Natural oil.

SUNNI DAZE EDIBLES
Medicated Pies & Mini Pies - 35mg & 100mg
Sunni Daze Edibles offers a line of medicated pies that are
available in Key Lime, Chocolate Silk, Banana Cream, and
Fluffernutter flavors. Their pies come in minis as well and
are made by a professional baker with nearly a decade of
experience in the cannabis industry. The medicated pies are
infused with a cold water hash infusion and come in both
35mg and 100mg options. Sunni Daze Edibles is run by a
professional baker, they want their product to feel tailor
made for each individual. There is a flavor for everyone.
Our favorites were the Key Lime and Fluffernutter pies. The
cannabis taste is not overpowering, and the consistency of
the pies are just as they mentioned fluffy and delicious, but
not too sweet. Straying away from the norm of cookies and
brownies, Sunni Daze Edibles leaves a taste in your mouth
that you will surely remember.
“That is a huge factor for me, if it doesn’t taste good I don’t
want to eat it. I also feel that the dosage I have allotted for the
pies at 35mg or 100mg is strong enough for an experienced
cannabis consumer as well as a good entry level for a first
time user. I chose pies because I felt that I had never seen it
done before. I love key lime pie, it’s a nostalgic dessert for me
and I really like making it too. Why not make it medicated?
Twice as nice!,” said the creator of Sunni Daze Edibles.
The inspiration behind Dhamma Edibles is to provide a healthy,
nearly 100% organic alternative to consuming medical cannabis
in an edible form with Vegan and Paleo options. There are several
exceptional brands out there, that are making movements in the
edible industry. However, many products being provided are
saturated in high fats, gluten, and artificial sugars. Which then
limits the span of consumerism to a specific patient prototype.
The goal is to start a health initiative that reaches all patients far
and wide.
DHAMMA EDIBLES
Cinnful Bites, Coconut Cups, & Brownie Bites - 200mg
Their 200mg award-winning organic Cinnful Bites package
contains four mini cinnamon rolls and are a patient favorite.
Toast them or microwave them at home and drizzle the paleo,
vegan icing on yourself for a warm and delicious treat that
makes you feel good about what you ate. They also have
200mg coconut cups, brownie bites, and infused croutons (that
also come in a 400mg bag). Dhamma’s aim is to introduce
grain-free, gluten-free, low-sugar, and starch-free products
that are healthy but delicious. Dhamma avoids anything GMO,
non-organic, refined and processed, so that their edibles are
not contributing to additional health ailments. They take gentle
care with the ingredients that they put into their products as well
as the kind of cannabis. They lab test all of their products
to ensure accurate doses to achieve pain-relief and comfort
for our patients.
BUTTER BABY!
Cannabis Infused O.G. Butter - 894mg
If you’re looking for straight infused cannabutter that you can
just cook with, then Butter Baby!’s O.G. Butter is the product
you’re looking for. They won first place for Best CannaButter
in our 2015 Best of Edibles List Awards. Sometimes it’s
easier or more cost effective to buy your own infused butter
and then make infused snacks or meals over and over again.
The 4 ounce jar (1 cup) is infused with 894mg of THC. Most
edibles on the market are sweet or sugary, you can take
Butter Baby!’s cannabutter and spread just a little on toast for
a stoney wake and bake, or you can use a quarter cup (or
a half cup depending on your recipe size and tolerance) and
make some infused mashed potatoes or mac and cheese.
The possibilities are only limited to your imagination.
What we love about Butter Baby! is that they use only
organic and pesticide-free buds, with a triple step filtration
process, and they are lab tested. We greatly appreciate their
contribution of a clean, pure product to the edible market.

to make it their industry and embrace the values of social impact
companies. Simply put, an Industry that recognizes and respects
all stakeholders; vendors, customers, owners and employees and
is committed to being environmentally sound and sustainable.
She commented on the fact that until we see cannabis go federally
legal, there is so much opportunity for small businesses and
women. It is apparent that our industry is maturing quickly and the
importance of understanding business is going to be a vital part of
having a successful company in the cannabis market. Sheri is truly
a woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. She wants
to help this industry blossom under women. She has lived in the
man’s world and knows its downfalls and foibles. It is time to leave
it behind. She hopes to see the cannabis industry be led by women
who embrace the social impact.

“Being around females in the industry is great. It’s not
just stoners out here!”
THE RENAISSANCE WOMAN - Though this industry was born
out of the grassroots movement, there is a growing fear that big
business will come in and shut out all the little guys. It is no secret
that the cannabis industry is the hottest market for investment right
now. However, whom should they invest in? How should vendors
work with investors? What deals are good deals? How should
cannabis entrepreneurs (or wannabes) proceed, raise money, grow
their businesses? These questions are precisely ones that Sheri
Orlowitz, of Artemis Holdings Group, can help answer.
Sheri represents the “other side” of the industry, but she is using
her standing in business, law and the political realm to help further
the cannabis industry domestically and internationally. Due to her
reputation and integrity, she is able to get in front of the politicians
and CEOs of large corporations and non-profits and explain the
benefits to those who may otherwise be uncomfortable with the
thought of legalizing cannabis. Currently, she is working with the
Greek government to approve a GMP facility to cultivate, process
and export medical cannabis to the EU, which will inevitably lead
Greece into an economic upswing.
Sheri’s background is in entrepreneurship and has had of
several successful careers. She was an actress for eight years,
a commodities trader, a lawyer for the DOJ – she actually dealt
with asset forfeiture, the set of laws that allows the Feds to seize
your assets - without being proven guilty - if suspected to come
from the sale of illegal drugs - like heroin, meth or even cannabis.
Additionally, she has developed real estate, raised close to $100
million for her ventures, and orchestrated leveraged buyouts of ten
manufacturing companies that she operated as CEO and CFO.
Business and finance are going to become an important part of the
industry explained Sheri, “If cannabis businesses, dispensaries,
and cultivators–are going to be successful they need to ensure they
excel legally, financially, and operationally, that is what she wants
to help do. Margins are good, they forgive a lot right now, but I am
beginning to see the landscape strewn with failed businesses. So,
it’s starting to happen and in this industry it can happen fast.”
She went on to explain the importance of GMPs (Good
Manufacturing Practices) especially at the infused products level.
These are used in the pharmaceutical industry and she feels they
need to be adopted into ours. She explained this gap is exactly the
reason she came into the industry; she felt she could lend some
of her expertise gained in 20 years of presiding over and ensuring
quality and consistency in manufacturing companies to the
cannabis industry.
Manufacturing is uber male dominated, but Sheri explained that
she steeled herself for the industry and received the respect it was
not easy, it was not pleasant, it is not the future. The cannabis
industry does not need to parallel; women have the opportunity

husband Rocky formed the company in 2009, after not being able
to find a reliable and consistent edible manufacturer. Rocky was
really the reason why they began. He could not find an edible he liked
until they found an older woman making infused olive oil. Slowly but
surely, Jenny found herself making at least a cake a day for Rocky and
other family members. Shortly thereafter they found themselves at a
dispensary trying to sell their edibles.
Jenny explained that she received some amazing branding advice
when she first began. At first Goodies by MaGooch was Fresh Baked
or something in the like, but a dispensary owner looked and them and
pointed out five other companies with fresh or baked in the name. It
was then they realized they needed to create a brand to differentiate
themselves from the competition.
Pre-Cannabis Jenny was a bookkeeper and Rocky was a carpenter in
the union, both were pretty good jobs but she explained that neither
were as rewarding as their lives now. Now, they are able to truly help
people. Jenny explained to me that they actually sponsor patients here
and there. They are passionate about giving back to the people who
are truly the foundation of the industry, the patients.

THE FREEDOM FIGHTER - Kandice Hawes founded Orange
County NORML in 2003 after losing her financial aid due to a
possession charge. In the twelve years since then, OC NORML
has become one of the most accomplished chapters in the
NORML organization, even earning the Outstanding Chapter of
the Year Award at the 2012 National NORML Convention.
OC NORML has been instrumental in organizing the Medical
Cannabis Conference for Seniors in Laguna Woods and the
Know Your Rights Expo at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Kandice Hawes was named High Times Freedom Fighter of the
month in November 2012, and was also named one of Orange
County’s 100 most influential people by the Orange County
Register in 2014.
Kandice Hawes recently served as the Principal Officer of
the Committee to Support Medical Marijuana Ballot Initiative
Political Action Committee. The PAC qualified a voter initiative to
replace the ban on medical marijuana collectives in Santa Ana
and received 54% of the vote in November 2014.
Kandice is currently a full time student at California State
University Fullerton studying Political Science and Public
Administration and is the Treasurer of CSUF Students for
Sensible Drug Policy.
Ms. Hawes is also currently a co-host on HempRadio, a weekly
pod cast on podomatic network and serves as the Treasurer for

CEO, Alaska Cannabis Club
President and Director, Go GREENE
“Reaching your full potential begins with setting
big, detailed, audacious goals - goals that you
commit to. Whether you achieve the goals you
set or not is irrelevant.”
THE PUBLIC POWERHOUSE - Charlene Egbe, better known as
Charlo Greene, is a broadcast journalist and media expert turned
activist and businesswoman who has perpetuated the ongoing
conversations surrounding legalization and diversity in the
cannabis community.
In September 2014, she solidified her spot as a cannabis activist
when she realized her job as a journalist had led her to her calling,
cannabis. She could not help herself; she had to tell the world
her truth. It was then that she punctuated her on-air report about
the Alaska Cannabis Club, with the bombshell that she was the
club’s founder and owner, proudly declared her activism and
signed off for the last time with, “F*ck it, I quit.” Charlo explained
to me how surreal it was discussing a cannabis club that no one
had any idea she was the owner of.
Immediately following her exit, Charlo successfully led the charge
in Alaska’s 2014 effort to legalize recreational marijuana, securing
Alaska’s place as the third state in the nation (and first Republicanled state) to legalize usage for adults. Through her newly
launched socially conscious organization Go GREENE, Charlo
is joining forces with nationwide grassroots activism campaigns
that seek to change the way the world thinks about cannabis.
Charlo currently belongs to the Minority Cannabis Business
Association, and serves as the only non-medical doctor on
the Board of Advisors for MD Herb - a leading online medical
marijuana resource. Additionally, Charlo also serves as CEO of
the Alaska Cannabis Club (akcannabisclub.com), Alaska’s first
and only legal marijuana resource.

ALISON ETTEL
CEO & Co-Founder, TreatWell
CHACHA VAVOOM
Owner & Founder, The 420Nurses
“When you break it down, girls have a home
in this industry in any way, shape or form.”
THE PROMOTIONAL GENIUS - Vanessa “ChaCha VaVoom”
Sahagun has turned an organization with only a handful of members
into an internationally known conglomerate. Women all over the
world are flocking to the 420Nurses as a way for them to bridge the
gap between their every day lives and cannabis. The 420Nurses is a
marketing company created by women for women providing services
including promotional modeling, online promotions, print distribution,
social networking and activism.
The 420Nurses have been severely misjudged in our industry. There are
people who feel as though the 420Nurses just perpetuate the cycle of
objectifying women, but what most people do not realize is that these
girls are professionals. Although some people do not agree with what Ms.
VaVoom (as she is most known as) created, it is a platform that allows
women to come together and find a home within the cannabis industry.
She has created a safe haven for women to express themselves within
the industry. She said it best; “We want[ed] to bring more of a home to
these girls where they’re not going to feel alone. It’s more of a family
where we are able to grow.”
Vanessa explained that the 420Nurses began out of necessity,
“Promotional modeling and cannabis were a part of my life. To me
promotional modeling and being in this industry is huge.” It all started
with promotional models wearing cannabis clothing and sparking
conversations about pot at various events. The 420Nurses are unique
in the fact that they do not distribute or sell cannabis - they just smoke
a lot of it!
In addition to promotional modeling, the 420Nurses can be seen
advocating and collecting signatures for CCHI. ChaCha and her crew
have been collecting signatures and assisting in legalization efforts for
years. Many are too quick to judge this woman and this organization.
ChaCha explained that 420Nurses is not geared toward sexualizing
women. It is about empowering women to feel comfortable with cannabis.
“Being an entrepreneur is part of who I am,
and I am out to change an industry!”
THE CANNA-PET LOVER - Alison Ettel is the CEO of TreatWell, a
cannabis company specializing in high quality, non-psychoactive
medicine. They offer a full line of pet and human tinctures. She came
from a very professional background and switched into the cannabis
industry after using cannabis for the very first time during her recovery
after a coma from meningitis. It took her months to recover, but she
remembers distinctly what cannabis did for her: “The fog cleared from
my brain. I started getting an appetite back, I could walk…and I could just
feel this connectivity starting,” she explained.
Alison is not some “dumb stoner”; in fact, she has an extremely
extensive background. She holds a few masters degrees and has
worked on Wall Street, and a think tank and in software – until meningitis
took over and she found her true calling, cannabis. She started out
because she wanted to raise the bar in the industry. She did not trust
the consistency or quality of the medicine and knew there had to be a
better way. She began by educating herself, took classes and consulted
with doctors, researchers and some of the best alchemists around.
While learning about cannabis she had an interesting revelation, “The
more I learned about the plant, the more I became fascinated by it. The
potential for the plant is almost limitless,” exclaimed Alison.
The founders began by working with humans and then gradually
progressed into the pet side. Alison is a huge pet lover; on the side
she is a dog walker, pet sitter and bakes organic treats for some of
the shops in San Francisco. There was not a lot of information out
there for TreatWell in the beginning when it came to pets and cannabis.
Now, Alison is considered one of the leading experts on the topic. The
beginning formulations were trial and error when pets had run out of
any other option, but they seemed to hit the nail on the head fairly
quickly, based on some of their outcomes and cases.
Alison is well educated and explained to me that 75% of her customer
base is women, so she has not had a hard time connecting with the
industry at all, despite being a female. She also went on to explain,
“People initially underestimate me a lot in this industry. But I talk the
talk and I have the knowledge and data to back it up, so people quickly
realize that I know what I am talking about.”
Vanessa Sahagun is a truly genuine person. She has created a platform
where women can express themselves and choose how they represent
themselves and the industry. Not everything the 420Nurses do are done
while scantily clad. These ladies have filled a niche in the market and
have done it extremely well.
She also touched on a subject that I found interesting, “I think there
is a clash of old world and new world in the cannabis industry. One
of our advantages is that we have many years of anecdotal data and
we are able to use this in conjunction with the research and scientific
data, which is very powerful. We provide a piece of the puzzle that
the doctors and vets are seeking in addition to what they read in the
research studies.”

meDIBLE rECIPES:
A great late winter starter, I love different spices during colder weather.
Here is an Indian Inspired clean eating dish.
Medicated Curried
Chicken Salad
Keeping with the slightly “non-western” flare, check out these Greek Lamb Kabobs.
Ingredients:
Ingredients
3 cups of shredded or diced cooked chicken
1 small apple, diced
1½ cup of infused mayo (I prefer to make my own paleo mayo)
3-diced chives
1 tablespoon of curry powder
¼ cup slivered almonds
Sea salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. You can serve the salad on its own or put on top of lettuce cups, cucumber slices,
endives, etc.
420 Homemade Paleo Mayo
Instructions
Flying High Infused Greek Lamb Kabobs
1 lb cubed lamb stew meat
1 bell pepper, cut into 1-inch pieces. I prefer
orange or yellow
2 zucchinis, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
Juice of 2 lemons or limes
½ teaspoon of dried oregano
½ teaspoon of sea salt
¼-1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
¼ cup of canna infused extra virgin olive oil
Instructions:
Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Place in alternating fashion the meats and veggies on a skewer In a small mixing bowl, mix
all the dry ingredients with the lemon or lime juice Brush this mixture onto the skewers and allow to marinate for 10 minutes.
Place the skewers on the grill or in a pan and cook for approx. 3-4 minutes per side and drizzle with a little canna infused extra
virgin olive oil just prior to serving.
Ingredients:
2 Egg Yolks
2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon of yellow mustard
1 teaspoon of sea salt
¼ -1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper depending on
preference
½ teaspoon of onion powder
2 cups of canna olive oil
In a food processor or using a hand-held food mixer add all the ingredients
above with the exception of the canna olive oil and start to mix. Add the
olive oil as slowly as possible. Some food processors have a drip valve or
tool that you can use. Make sure the machine mixer does not get too hot.
Stop mixing and adding olive oil once desired consistency is obtained. If the
mixture turns to watery add another tablespoon of vinegar and another
egg yolk and slowly blend it into the mix once the desired consistency is
achieved.
Cannabis Infused Tahini Vanilla Truffles
54
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons raw tahini
4 tablespoons canna coconut butter or coconut cream
1 tablespoon unsweetened shredded coconut
1-2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup
¼ tablespoon-cinnamon
Pinch of Sea Salt
½ teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons of sesame seeds for coating
Instructions:
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients with the exception of the
sesame seeds until smooth. Take the mixture and form 1-inch
balls or hockey puck shapes and coat with sesame seeds. If you
want some extra sweetness, coat in shredded coconut.
In staying with our quasi-Near East theme, this dessert is
sesame seed based which is great if you have a nut allergy!

DANA DWIGHT
Owner & Creator,
Forbidden Leaf Hemp Seed Oil, Lotion & Soap Co.
“Who better to defend a female plant than a
woman?”
THE HEMP GODDESS - Dana Dwight began working with hemp
seedoilin2004.Hermotherwasdiagnosedwithterminallungcancer
and they used hemp seed oil as a nutritional supplement to help
with the nausea and pain. After her mother passed, she continued
using hemp seed oil for inflammation diseases like psoriasis.
She explained that Forbidden Leaf specializes in cold pressed
hemp seed oil, which is much different than other companies as
most of them use refined oil, according to Dana. Apparently cold
pressed oil retains all of the vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Forbidden Leaf offers a complete hemp seed oil skin care line and
are planning to enter into the THC infused line shortly.
Dana’s first time using cannabis was at the age of twelve. She
stopped smoking for a while and then picked cannabis back
up after being diagnosed with cancer. She explained that it is
important to “reach out to others and to never give up.” Her mother
was truly the inspiration behind what she does and although
she has passed, Dana wants to continue her legacy of being so
involved with this plant.
Dana and I discussed how more and more females are banning
together and that it is creating a greater power for us. As she said,
“I think it is time for women to have a voice. Times are a changing
and we are bing heard.”
She rose a great point about where she hopes to see the industry
go. “I’d like to see the hemp industry come back to America. We
need to bring awareness to the other aspect of cannabis, which
is hemp.”
Too often we come across people that believe since we have
legal cannabis in some states, the war is over. However, this is a
single battle and we have so many yet to come including tackling
the idea of children and cannabis or the fact that people are still
serving life sentences and the tight restrictions around growing
hemp. The war is far from over and we need everyone’s help to
fight it.

KEIKO BEATIE
A Woman of Many Hats
“I really feel that being a woman in this
industry is powerful and that we have the
capability to connect on a much deeper level,
than say the men do – I am a sativa girl!”
THE CANNABIS GODMOTHER - Keiko Beatie is one of those
unsung heroes. She does not own a ginormous company nor
does she create edibles, but the words cannabis and Keiko
have become synonymous. Keiko first came into the industry
because she saw the need to help the patients through
activism, education and spreading awareness. Keiko has so
many great tidbits of advice; if you don’t know her, you need to.
She explained to me that she has been utilizing cannabis in
health for years. According to her, “I always knew that cannabis
was a medicine and through my studies of holistic and
Ayurveda medicines, I knew that plant matter had something
that connected more with the body’s tissues. I knew that we
have endocanabinoid systems and there are cannabinoids
within the cannabis plant. I also knew that if we flooded the
body with good enzymes from a plant, then we would have a
chance to have it be whole and well again.” What means so
much to her is sharing with those in need about how the plant
may assist in better health and alleviating serious ailments and
diseases. Keiko feels honored to have had many success in
fighting cancer, epilepsy, PTSD and many other health issues.
Keiko is involved in several outreach programs and
organizations. She is one of those people that embody the
spirit of the industry. She is always there to lend a helping hand
or ear. Pre-cannabis she worked in the surf and music industry
curating film, art and music for major surf film festivals,
museums and events throughout the world. She is inspired by
music, art and film and worked with such groups as Van Halen
and The Police, the last film she worked was the surf film, A
Deeper Shade of Blue.
She explained how she has reacted to anyone who feels like
she cannot do something because she is a woman, “If anyone
has thrown any shade, I ignore it. It can be challenging, but I try
to let go of anybody who puts any blockages towards women.
I feel that we are all human beings and it doesn’t matter if you
are a man or woman. I think all of us as a team should be able
to move forward and assist the out-reach for cannabis.”
Keiko goes on to describe what it has been like to be a woman
in the cannabis industry and why it is way may be able to
connect more deeply than men; “I love the women in this
industry, because we are all around a female flowered plant
and we are all stimulated by the compassion it has to offer as
well as what it offers to us as individuals. I love men, I gave
birth to one - but I do feel that women connecting, women
respecting each other and reaching out is much more of
a strong force than us working against each other. This is a
female plant, so the energy it has to offer us is so powerful.”

With a varied and diverse background, Keiko consults with
delivery services and had created a successful collective
in Southern California with a partner. Her background is
in Ayurvedic, Chinese and Holistic medicines. She has
knowledge in midwifery, acupuncture, herbology and
rebirthing and was the third person in the US to have a baby
born underwater. Keiko is a Vegetarian Chef and worked in
a top Orange County and Santa Cruz Vegetarian restaurants.
Keiko also assisted in creating the first cannabis TV Network,
the US Weed Channel, is the Co-Host at Hemp Radio and has
done on camera reporting for Cannabis Financial Network
and other outlets. She also works with Women Grow OC and
is a board member for OC Norml. Keiko is a writer for Edibles
Magazine and other cannabis publications, is a producer for
the new film, The Secret Life of Trimmers and founder of West
Coast Cannabis Film Festival.
Lastly, Keiko had some amazing advice for young
entrepreneurs, “Believe in yourself. Know what you want to
do, see your goal and reach out to others. You have nothing to
lose. It just takes one step and don’t let anyone’s ‘no’ falter you
because you know what, there could be 10 yes’s right behind
there. Be true to yourself. Be true to others. And always feel
that through this plant we can grow a lot of love and positivity.”
She has a goal and personal mantra for the community and
industry “Acceptance and legalization through education,
outreach and partnership.”

President & Pioneer, Julie’s Natural Edibles
“Don’t be afraid! Being a women is great!”
THE PIONEERING PARENT - Julie Dooley is not your stereotypical
“stoner”. She is the President of Julie’s Natural Edibles, which was
founded in 2008. She was diagnosed with Celiac disease and
cannabis was the only medicine she would use as a therapy. She
began by making butter with her Co-Creator Kate and it grew into
so much more.
Julie’s background is in science. She went to college for Human
Genetics and she actually joked about her degree, “The only thing
I did with that, was have babies.” She has three children that she
could not help but gloat over. Julie then went on to explain that she
simply got bored and began working at the University of Denver
as the Budgeting Director. There she learned how to manage
millions of dollars for a large entity.
Julie and I discussed the importance of working together to
further the industry. She explained that in Colorado the large
edible manufacturers decided a long time ago that they were not
competitors. The big players decided to ban together in an edibles
council of sorts in order to be sounding boards for one another
and conquer the ever-changing reforms together. According to
Julie, “You have to work together to stop regulations before it
happens. You can save yourself thousands.”
Julie is an incredible self-made businesswoman. She explained
to me that she continues to educate herself on everything. After
deciding to make granola she had to learn how to scale that recipe
to accommodate thousands of orders.
Clearly, she is a proud mama. She spoke about her “wonderful
children” and how her children help to keep her feet on the
ground. I asked her what it has been like to go from housewife
to international cannabis expert, “I know a little bit more than
other people. It is very humbling to be a part of this industry. We’re
creating it. My kids have benefited by watching mom go from an
idea to a company. They have a deep respect for cannabis and me.“
To finish off she gave me some extremely valuable advice for new
entrepreneurs:
1.”Take heart regarding the things you don’t know or understand. I
knew nothing about marketing. Looking back I should have hired
an expert in the field instead of assigning a friend to ‘help out’ and
of course, always think of the future and try and plan out with a 2
year plan and a 4 year plan etc.”
2. “Don’t make a decision when you are fearful. Wait until you
are calm and confident before you make a jump. I didn’t think
about a risk, I didn’t have fear, I did not think about anything past
tomorrow....”
3. “You have to get rid of ego and work together”
4. “Work with people that you can trust. You don’t necessarily
need to like them, but you need to respect them. Before you take
a leap into this industry, get some solid people in your life, and
listen to them.”

INCREDIBLES COLORADO
TM
Not Just Award-Winning.
High-quality, consistent,
& great tasting, too!
GUM-E BITE SIZE BITS
It might just be a Pavlov response,
but every time I see “E” on Incredibles’
packaging, I am eager to examine its
contents. I really do love the re-sealable
packaging. Sometimes I like to take my
time and get to know my edibles a little
better. So it is nice to have that option of
sealing in the freshness. The packaging is
very clearly labeled.
gummies are actually made from scratch.
That’s right! No spraying here.
The entire package contains 100mg of
THC, each gummie being 6.6mg-8.3mg,
perfect dosing for medical or recreational
purposes. Now we all know there are a ton
of infused gummie candy companies out
there, but what we love about Incredible,
besides being one of the original edible
companies in Colorado, is that these
I have to say, the gummies tasted
incredible! They didn’t have that weird
aftertaste that I normally get with
gummies (usually because of the type of
oil or concentrate used). As far as I could
tell, the potency seemed spot on. The
entire package is filled with tangerine,
grape and cherry flavored gummies.
I ate two and waited an hour, then took two
more. Shortly after, all was right with the
world. My pain and spasms settled down.
I no longer cared about what was going on
with the primaries. And somehow, I was
still able to get some things done.
BLACK CHERRY BAR
If you like fruit in your chocolate like I do,
this is the candy bar for you. The black
cherry chocolate bar by Incredibles is
absolutely delicious. The 1:1 ratio of CBD to
THC makes this bar ideal for daytime use.
Incredibles really set themselves apart
from their competition by offering THCinfused products containing homemade,
in-house hash oil, butter and bubble
hash. They fully decarboxylate the oil and
test every batch. By creating everything
in-house, they have more control of the
process from start to finish ensuring
consistent and quality products.
Upon first bite, I was introduced to the
taste of rich dark chocolate, and dried
cherries. My initial thought was how could
this possibly be medicated, because it was
so delicious. It didn’t take long to realize
58
58
that it was indeed medicated. After about
a half hour, I felt a calm over my body.
The combination of THC with CBD works
really well for me. With that combination,
my body feels heavily medicated, while
my head stays clear. If you suffer from
occasional low blood pressure. However, I
would advise a word of caution. For me,
the combination tends to lower my blood
pressure as I run normally low already.
It really hasn’t been a problem for me,
because I’m sitting all day. But if I were
able to stand, I would be concerned about
losing my balance, or falling and hurting
myself. Other than that little caution,
I really like this product. It seems like
edibles taste so much better from when I
started medicating some years ago.
I have never had a product from Incredibles
that I did not like. So unless you detest fruit
n my opinion, these treats are among the
best in the gummy category. And knowing
that I have sealed in the freshness for
tomorrow, makes it even better.

ulie’s Natural Edibles offers a full line of both medical and recreational,
premium and healthy cannabis infused edibles in Colorado. All of their
products are gluten, refined sugar, pesticide and non-GMO free. This
makes me feel less gluttonous, considering I ate all five of the Nutty Bites, in one
fail swoop.
L
et me tell you about these Nutty Bites, they are small clusters of almonds
and sunflower seeds tossed together in a maple syrup blend with a hint of
cinnamon. If I had to give these an award I think it would simply read; “Julie’s
Natural Edibles - Nutty Bites - You Win!” These are by far the best edibles I have ever
tasted. There is little to no detection of cannabis and it does not weigh you down
after consumption. They are guilt-free... almost anyway. I do suggest that everyone
tries these gooey squares of splendor; I would however, strongly advise that one not
eat the entire tube, in one sitting. The high was extremely mellow and the desired
effect would have been reached after one square. I believe I would have been able to
function on them fine at anytime of day. Since I ate five, I slept really, really well but
did not wake up feeling groggy.
MARQAHA
marQaha is a very old Arabic word that refers to the “bliss” felt while
drinking coffee, it has also come to mean “someone or something
impossible to hate”. They
offer handcrafted drinks,
RADIPISCING
ELITedibles and
other medicinal products to dispensaries that bring a feeling of bliss,
in Colorado.
Their full line of products include the flasQ, a 20oz infused drink in
several flavors and strain specific options. MIST!, their sublingual
spray. tinQture, a sublingual oral tincture. Along with a 12oz drink
and capsules.
The sativa agave tincture is simply divine. The agave Take Flight
tincture is both sweet and smooth. You can use it in a cup of tea or
even just drop it under your tongue. It is delicious and I found myself
going back for more every so often. Watch out though, the entire
bottle contains 600mg.
The sativa MIST! - as you know, I do like my sativas - is really uplifting
and discreet. It comes in a 100mg, childproof spray bottle. It is allnatural, gluten-free, vegan, caffeine free, low glycemic and lab tested.
MIST! is the perfect discreet daytime medicating option.

ulie’s also offers three other great options if you are in need of a healthy snack
or breakfast, perfect for daytime medicating; fresh granola, granola bars and
roasted seed mix. I particularly enjoyed the roasted seed mix because it is a
blend of raw pumpkin and sunflower seeds, grown without pesticides that they slow
roast the seeds with their strain specific cannabutter and sea salt. These are a great
option instead of munching on a bag of chips.

MEGHAN FARMER
CONTRIBUTOR
TRY 5
MILLIGRAMS
As Oregon became the third state in the nation to legalize recreational
cannabis for adults 21 and over, concern began to grow amongst
members of the community of the potential safety and public
health risks associated with edibles. While the legislative and
regulatory process began in early 2015, misinformation and over
sensationalized media articles were misdirecting the public. There
emerged those amongst the Oregon cannabis industry who wanted
to help change this public misconception and help educate the
public on how to consume edibles in a safe and responsible way.
One of these people, was David McNicoll, owner of cannabis-infused
cupcake company, Dave’s Space Cakes, he became involved in state
politics and helped educate legislators about edible-cannabis products.
Having realized the benefits of edible cannabis over the past 9 years
as a member of the Oregon Medical Marijuana Program, McNicoll
made it his mission to further his educational efforts and better inform
the public about the advantages of consuming edible cannabis,
by explaining what edibles are, and how to properly understand
dosage for people new to ingesting edible cannabinoid products.
The end result was the formation of OREC, the Oregon Responsible
Edibles Council. Starting from the ground up, McNicoll reached out
to other Oregon edible-makers on the grassroots level, and gathered
support from within the industry, eventually growing OREC into a nonprofit trade association consisting of over 20 member businesses of
Oregon’s edible cannabis industry. McNicoll, Chair of OREC, formed
the group to also help bring Oregon small businesses together. “The
legalization process presents a tremendous opportunity for small
Oregonian edible companies”, said McNicoll. “We want Oregon
businesses to band together so we can help establish a strong localbased edible market and help each others businesses succeed.”
The members of OREC believe the best way to inform the public and
hopefully dispel any misinformation about edible marijuana is through
education. The first educational campaign created by the group, “Try
5”, encourages first-time users of edible products to begin with no
more than 5mg of THC. OREC’s campaign hopes to reduce cases
of accidental over-ingestion; and will launch in Oregon in conjunction
with the expansion of the Limited Marijuana Retail Product definition
to include edibles from Senate Bill 1511-16, projected to go into
effect sometime in the spring of 2016. The mission of the “Try 5”
campaign is to teach consumers how to consume edibles cautiously
when ingesting them for the first time and begin the conversation
about the importance of proper dosage. The campaign launch will
involve posters and printed handout cards which will be given to
state-licensed dispensaries as collateral items for their customers.
Stephanie Calderon, Edible Buyer for TJ’s Organic Provisions, a
dispensary and OREC member-business in Eugene, OR, is excited to
display the “Try 5” poster. “OREC is a valuable resource to train budtenders
and dispensary staff when it comes to edible education for the public”,
said Calderon. “Education is the key to helping your customer understand
that starting low will allow for a more positive first time edible experience.”
Keep an eye out for future public education campaigns from
OREC concerning parental education, tips for proper at-home
storage that will help keep products out of the hands of children
and a fact-based & effective youth prevention program. OREC
is an advocate for child resistant containers and packaging
requirements that will help prevent accidental exposure of edible
marijuana and hopefully dispel any fear of child consumption.

OPHELIA CHONG
Founding & Managing Partner, Stock Pot Images
“I really feel that being a woman in this industry
is powerful and that we have the capability to
connect on a much deeper level, than say the
men do – I am a sativa girl!”
THE POTENT PHOTOGRAPHER - A little over a year ago Ophelia Chong, a
Photography teacher at The Art Center in Pasadena, was taking a shower
and realized that there were no stock agencies specializing in cannabis
imagery. That is precisely the moment that Stock Pot Images was born. A
month after her revelation, she was funded and the LLC was established.
Ophelia explained to me that the standard stock image sites like Getty
only offer limited and stereotypical images, “Anything you see on Getty
are stereotypical images of what prohibition has done their view of the
cannabis user, what they would label as “stoners”. It has nothing to do
with our community and doesn’t even look real. Stock Pot only
photographs real users and real communities. You can’t fake out a
cannabis user, they want authenticity.”
“The name just came from stock photography and pot pictures, so Stock
Pot just came out of the blue. Plus, you can’t tell its cannabis right away. It
is not as direct as “weed porn” or “weed pics” it has a little more of a playful
tone with cannabis,” Ophelia noted about the name of her company.
Her background is in Photography and has been a creative director
specializing in book and magazine design for over two decades. She earned
a Photography BFA from the Art Center and is an instructor at her alma mater
in the photo dept. since 2010. Before the cannabis industry, she worked for
film companies and film festivals and moved into print and design after that.
She explained that she got into the industry because of a family member
who has a terminal illness and began using cannabis to help alleviate some
of the symptoms. She also told me that she is not really a smoker but will
vape from time to time but she jokingly admitted she mostly does edibles
because she likes to snack.
When we discussed what it is like for her as a female in the industry, she
said, “I think it’s easier to be a woman. There is less competition. People
don’t want to go into it because it’s illegal and they have a misconception of
what it is.” She also told me she loves the women in the industry because
we are all quick to help one another and have not “reached the bi**hy factor”
yet.
She also stated that as opposed to other industries, men and women are
on more of an even playing field; it’s not so much about women as it is that
there are difficulties for people in general. In the ever-changing market we
live in, large companies are in fear of being shut down – this is something
non-discriminant to women or men.
Ophelia is also the founder of Asian Americans for the Cannabis Education
along with Monica Lo and Tiffany Wu. This is a group of Asian Americans
that want to educate other Asians about cannabis. Ophelia explained to
me that statistics show the two largest groups against cannabis legislation

MEGAN GRAHAM
Owner, GEMM Farms
“The women get it, the boys are just
beginning to.”
THE CARING CBD SPECIALIST - Meghan Graham is the Owner
of GEMM Farms, a hemp CBD Company based in Oregon. She
explained how she go into the industry “My mother-in-law has
always been a medical marijuana patient since the inception of
the OMMP. In the beginning, she had little luck finding a reliable
and consistent grower. So, in August 2010, when I was 8 months
pregnant with twins, we got our first clones and she assigned us
as her official growers. It was until 2013, that we decided we’d like
to make a business out of it and thus, GEMM Farms was born.”
Her husband had to have a complete knee replacement in 2014
and they did not want him to have to take opiates, so they went to
a local clinic and learned how to make topicals. They shared it with
her mother-in-law and other patients. They received such amazing
feedback that they new they were on to something and continued
to push forward.
She described her passion and what drove her into the industry,
“We keep it really close to helping the patients. My patients are my
influence. How can I best help them? Let’s grow some great weed.
Let’s make them brownies and topicals!”
Her explanation of what it was like to be a woman in the beginning
versus now was pretty spot, “At first it was kind of like knocking
on the door of a boys club. Now, as it’s progressed everything has
changed, it’s welcoming. We are beginning to find like-minded
people and it has been very rewarding.” Megan also went on to
explain how she feels that if the women in this industry continue
to support one another they will go far because they have business
skills as well as the nurturing side of being a woman.

HOW SWEET IT IS...
CANNABIS EDIBLES AND SWEETENERS
RACHEL ZEMSER
STAFF EDITOR
Lets face it, we all love sugar!
Not only does it taste great, but
it’s incredibly functional providing
bulk and structure to baked goods,
confections and a multitude of
other food products. Sugar is
amazing—except that we all
need to limit our intake. Sugar
leads to diabetes, obesity, and
cavities, amongst a ton of other
health problems. Unfortunately,
this wonderful delicious functional
ingredient can only be consumed
in small amounts.
The cannabis infused food product
industry is growing rapidly but due
to the gray legalities of state and
federal regulations, the “Edible”
creators are relegated to creating
their products in commercial
kitchens and are limited to making
simple products like candy, baked
goods and chocolate bars. Sugar
based products are fairly safe,
shelf stable and appeal to the
masses. Just a spoonful of sugar
to help the medicine go down!
70
There are many sugar substitutes
out there that can help the
nutritional profile of your product
but most have drawbacks. High
intensity sweeteners like Stevia
and monk fruit may not have
any calories, but they also don’t
have any bulk or functional
capabilities. Have you ever tried
to make a cake out of Stevia—not
possible! There are also sugar
alcohols out there like Sorbitol,
Xylitol and Erythritol, which are
commonly found in gum and
sugar-free candy. Consumers
need to be careful when eating
products that contain sugar
alcohol. If you have ever eaten
a whole chocolate bar made
with sorbitol, you know why—it
can cause grumbly stomachs
and gas in sensitive consumers.
There are two new exciting sweet
ingredients on the market that can
help you, the edibles formulator,
control sugar in your products but
still provide the bulk you need to
create those products! You may
have seen the word Chicory
Root Fiber, Inulin or the scarier
sounding
“Oligiosaccharide”
on labels of food products that
have a nice dose of fiber. All of
these ingredients are in the same
family of “prebiotics”. Prebiotics
are a category of functional fiber
ingredients that stimulate the
growth and activity of beneficial
“good” bacteria in the colon. Most
prebiotics come in both syrup and
powder form and have less than
3% glucose. The powder form is
typically around 95% fiber and
the syrup, which is a blend of
the powder and water- is around
70%. They both have a light sweet
taste (about 50-60% of sucrose).
Prebiotics essentially can be
used to replace all or part of the
sugar in your formula with fiber.
Your carbohydrate content can
stay the same, but your grams
of sugar are now grams of fiber
and your product will have a
lower glycemic index. You can
call it “dietary fiber” on your label
and educate your consumer on
the benefits of prebiotics in their
food. The company Vita Fiber
(bioneutra.ca) sells prebiotic fiber
in retail sized containers or in 25
KG containers. It can be used
in candy, granola, beverages,
trail mix and anything that could
have or would have contained
sugar. Manufacturers take notelike with all fiber products, some
consumers may be sensitive to
large quantities consumed in one
sitting. Make sure your portion
sizes have no more than 5 or 6
grams of “dietary fiber” per serving.
The second ingredient worth
exploring is a bit more complex
and difficult to procure and it has
some development restrictions.
Allulose is a brand new sugar
replacement on the market that
virtually no one is using… yet!
Allulose is a very low calorie
(0.39 calories per gram) sugar
that tastes exactly like sugar,
because it is! It official sugar
name is D-Psicose, and it is one
of the many different sugars that
exists in nature in very small
quantities. It was first identified
in wheat and has since been
found in corn, figs and raisins.
It is a monosaccharide (simple
sugar) that is recognized as a
carbohydrate and absorbed by the
body but is not metabolized, so it
is essentially calorie free and has
no impact on blood glucose levels.
Allulose is not yet available in
supermarkets but manufacturers
can order it directly and use it in
moderate amounts in their food
product creations. Allulose has
received Generally Recognized
as Safe (GRAS) status from the
FDA. There are two companies
that sell allulose- Tate &Lyle and
a non-GMO version from The
Anderson Global Group.
Prebiotic fibers and D-Psicose
are both great ways to reduce
sugar, increase fiber and help
consumers manage their glucose
response. Unlike high intensity
sweeteners like monk fruit and
stevia, which must be used in
combination with maltodextrins,
these two ingredients already
have bulking capacity and can
provide the function you need
without the calories or sugar.

Going back to the dawn of human
civilization, childbirth has been
a historically deadly and painful
activity. Even today, in the era
of powerful modern medicine, a
standard pregnancy epidural is
little more than an injection of
morphine. The ancient Egyptians
has something a bit more natural
for their child birthing medicinessalves made from cannabis.
These concoctions, noted for
their ability to induce contractions
and relieve pain, were literally
involved with and aided in
the birth of modern human
History is full of moments
where cannabis was used for
pain relief. Perhaps the most
high-profile case of a figure in
history using cannabis to treat
an ailment is the nineteenth
century monarch Queen Victoria.
Although obviously something of
a misnomer, she is sometimes
referred to as “the first medical
marijuana
patient”.

Victoria was noted to use the
plant as a way of soothing her
menstrual cramps, marking a
uniquely feminine foray into the
realm of medical marijuana.

Looking back at world history, it
can often seem like all the most
famous events are dominated
by men. Women were often
unfairly relegated to positions
of homemaking and childrearing, limiting their impact
on the geopolitical landscape.
Even in the world of cannabis,
figureheads have historically
trended towards male figuresCheech and Chong, Willie
Nelson, Bob Marley, Snoop
Dogg, and many more have
all played the roles of famous
stoners in the 20th century.
However, things in marijuana
culture haven’t been quite the
“boy’s club” that one would
assume at first. As it turns out,
there are a number of cases in
the advancement of cannabis as
a medicinal and recreational tool
where women either beat men to
the punch, or discovered entirely
new fields of benefit and purpose.

be used by various cultures for
similar reasons throughout the

AH WARNER
Founder & CEO, Cannabis Basics
“Women work as a community and in general we’re
not threatened by one another. We have a collaborative
mindset that most guys just don’t have.”
THE LEADING LOBBYIST- In 1994 Ah Warner, Founder and CEO of Cannabis
Basics, a lifestyle brand based in Washington walked into Fremont Hemp
Company and found Jack Herer’s book, The Emperor Wears No Clothes. It
was then her life changed and Cannabis Basics was born in 1995 as a result.
Her degree from the University of Washington is a Bachelors in Women
Studies with an emphasis on sex studies, so she has a pretty solid education
and learned a long time ago that “If the boys don’t want to play nice, I just
ignore it and go my own path,” Warner explained. Additionally, in May of
2013, Ah founded Women of Weed, a private social club, and is a guiding
member of both NORML Women of Washington and MJBA Women’s
Alliance supporting education and activism around cannabis and ensuring
that women have several seats at every table.

She also started the International Cannabis Health and Beauty Aids
Alliance. “It is not a standards and ethics group, but more of a think tank
and support group for people who do what I do, that make these narrowly
defined products,” said Ah.
THE MEDIA MAVEN - B. Le Grand, our “Fearless Leader,” as I like to call her,
is the genius behind EdiblesList.com and Edibles Magazine. She founded
the company in 2010, while living in San Diego. The Edibles List was created
out of need, as most companies are. The Edibles List was born after B moved
from San Francisco to San Diego and noticed that the cannabis markets
were completely different between the two cities. In San Francisco, a patient
could get edibles and product from a reliable source. “In San Diego however,
shops would open and close. If you wanted to get your meds you’d have to
wait four hours for a creepy dude to show up at your house, with a backpack
full of pot. I walked into a dispensary and their edible selection consisted of a
spoon dipped in chocolate,” explained B.
Edibles List began as a submission form to collect data on all edible vendors
out there and what they carry. It has since grown to be the number one
source for finding cannabis infused products. In 2013, Edibles Magazine, the
first and only magazine dedicated to edibles, topicals, tinctures and vapes,
launched in California, Colorado and Washington, simultaneously. Today,
the magazine has expanded to Oregon, Arizona, Nevada and Hawaii, with
subscribers nationwide.
B graduated high school early and left Hawaii to pursue something bigger.
In 2002, at the age of 16, she moved to San Francisco. There, she went
to school for advertising and began her career in multimedia and online
marketing. She worked for an interior design firm that gave her all the tools
she needed to succeed. She’s had her own web design and marketing firm,
Designs By Bo, for 14 years, and was the Creative Director and Editor-in-Chief
at Runway Magazine from 2011-2012.
B reiterated some solid advice she said her dad always gave her, and that we
have all probably heard before: “Fake it until you make it! Once you make it,
you wont have to fake it anymore.” She’s has been on her own and working
for herself since she was 16. It takes a certain kind of person to uproot
themselves at such an early age and embark on a new journey, but what
was the alternative, “Stay in paradise with my friends and never leave?” Now
that you mention it, that doesn’t sound so bad. Does it?
She spoke about how together we can impact the future. “If we can dispel
the lies surrounding cannabis, since so many people don’t understand all
of the lies that originally criminalized cannabis - then at some point, our kids
and further generations will not know what it’s like for cannabis to be an
illegal plant, with a demonized persona. We are at a turning point in history,
we are at the end of prohibition on cannabis,” said B.
In addition to running one of the best companies in our industry, she
is the lead singer, guitarist and keyboardist for her band, Le Grand, a
cross between Adele and 50s doo-wop. I happen to have some insider
knowledge on this woman, and I know what she has done to keep her
company thriving and in an upward trajectory. It is important to note
that B is without a doubt one of the most hardworking people I know.
She has a solid, business savvy, mind with a compassionate and giving
way about her, and she genuinely fights for the patients and the plant.
Va p e s
On January 22, 2015, Ah and her co-author Kari Boiter, were able to
introduce the Cannabis Health and Body Aid bills into both the House and
Senate, with bipartisan sponsorship on both. Due to her lobbying efforts,
she got every legislator samples of her product and the bills were ultimately
signed on June 30th, and were enacted July 1st. With Ah’s bill they were
able to define cannabis health and beauty aids (or “CHABA”, as Ah likes
to say) as anything less than .3%, for topical use only and non-intoxicating.
They have also opened the marketplace to sell to mainstream locations
and cannabis health and beauty aids were removed from the Washington
State Controlled Substances Act. This is the first time in history that anything
related to cannabis was removed out of the CSA in Washington State and
the first time something has been done like this in the country.
“You can’t just put a toe in, you have to dive in and learn
about the plant. Learn everything you can and then share
that knowledge because at the end of the day we are all
working together, toward the same goal.”

Since the 90’s, Ah has been a cannabis activist. She told me about a photo
of her two-year-old running around the capital while they working on the
1997 hemp initiative. However, she explained that she never really embraced
the label activist until recently. She was watching what was happening in
her state’s legislation and realized that there were changes that needed to
be made. “I looked into the future, I saw what I needed and what I wanted
for my company. I knew I did not want to be in the adult-use stores and saw
the writing on the wall that they were doing away with the medical industry.
So, I reached out to Sen. Jeanne Kohl-Welles, showed her my products and
from that moment forward she was behind me. She knew what I was asking
for, and what I wanted was to get my products defined differently than the
intoxicating cannabis products,” explained Ah.
