Letter from the Publisher

Welcome to the Summer Issue of Cannabis by the Sea Magazine!

Over the past 4 years of working on Cannabis by the Sea, we have had the great pleasure of meeting some interesting, knowledgeable, and brave people who have been generous enough to share their stories with us. In this issue you will meet just this sort of person, Monna Sanner. Monna is the CEO of Oceans Dispensary & Lounge in Lompoc, California. The only legal consumption lounge on the California Central Coast. The first time I met Monna I was immediately taken by her energy and enthusiasm. She has a fiercely creative mind and a desire to share the cannabis experience, in all its forms, with everyone she comes in contact with.

Monna is now, once again, in the fight of her life and she still exhibits an energy that is unparalleled. At the risk of sounding patronizing, I find myself jealous of her bravery. If all of us could use even just a bit of the bravery she has, imagine where we could all be?!

The healing path that Monna is taking is a personal choice and is not for everybody, but it is a shining example of how this amazing plant can help us if used properly.

As summer slowly (and I stress slowly) arrives here on the Central Coast of California I am hoping your days are full of happiness, lots of laughter, and the best of all health, wherever you are!

As always, thank you for your support of Cannabis by the Sea magazine . . . just by reading, you are supporting. We look forward to continuing to introduce you to more amazing people, and, of course, providing you with more information on this amazing plant that we call cannabis.

Keep in touch!
