Greetings ~

Welcome to The Edibles Magazine Awards Issue. It was an honor and a pleasure to interview Greg Sestero for this month’s feature. He’s most well known for playing Mark in “The Room” (considered the worst movie ever made) and for writing "The Disaster Artist," which tells the story of making that infamous film. He wrote his newest movie, “Best F(r)iends” while high on sativa Cheeba Chews and we’ve got the scoop on what that process was like, as well as a movie crossword puzzle, cannabis characters in film list, movie themed recipes, an especially insightful Crazy Rich Asians review and more. “Best F(r)iends” is a movie you need to watch if you’re into The Room. The basketball scene seems like an homage/inside joke for all the fans. Watch it high on edibles for a deeper experience.

There’s also counterfeit cannabis labels to beware of and Hawaii might soon be the nation’s dankest destinations for cannabis tourism with some cool new laws the island wants to implement for visitors.

Ever since iO West and Meltdown closed, I haven’t had a readily available theater to shoot in, so it was great to use The Pack in Hollywood for our Greg Sestero interview and photoshoot. It’s a big part of the Hollywood Fringe Festival each year. Movies and cannabis always go well together. “Baked Potatoes: A Pot Smoker’s Guide to Movies and Home Video” was one of the funniest books I read in college.

Kevin Smith has a new online show called “Hollyweed” and marijuana gets more normalized onscreen all the time. Many performers are in the news right now for a variety of reasons, some pretty scandalous.

Asia Argento, Ben Affleck, James Gunn, and who knows who else by the time this

Issue No. 48 I Page 10

is published. I saw Deadpool 2 and Three Identical Strangers and really enjoyed both a whole bunch, for different reasons.

Seeing documentaries in the actual cinema while high on edibles is my new favorite movie going experience.

We will be travelling to Kauai and Oklahoma this month for some cannaeducation expos and are pretty curious to see what’s going on in these other states.

The Greenwood Cultural Center in Tulsa will be home to the state’s 1st cannabis business conference. I hung out in that area as a teenager because it was home to Tulsa’s contemporary art scene. Should be interesting. We also have all of our awrd winners announced in this issue.

Los Angeles is getting closer and closer to full legalization as more licenses are being applied for. Once LA is full swing into actual legalized recreational cannabis with manufacturing, distribution, and retail happening - we may just see a Utopia like never before. Here’s hoping it gets done right and by the right people. Dangerous posers always seem to be creeping in and getting greedy. Beware and take care.

Summer is over but Halloween is right around the corner. Smoke weed and see some movies. If you get the munchies, feed yourself and have fun.

As always, smile at your budtender, tip your delivery driver, and know your dose.

“Truth is not obliged to stick to possibilities.”

COVER STORY

Greg Sestero Author of The Disaster Artist Writes New Movie High on Sativa Cheeba Chew It was an honor and a pleasure to chat with Greg Sestero in this special issue. I’ve been a fan of The Room (considered by many to be the worst movie ever made) for quite a few years and loved The Disaster Artist. It’s the only audio book I’ve ever bought on iTunes and I stayed up all night listening to it at the San Diego Comic Con 2015. Sestero's most well known role is as Mark, the best friend to Tommy Wiseau's character Johnny. Greg and Tommy’s friendship was brought to the big screen last year in the award winning movie, “The Disaster Artist”, and they were portrayed

by Dave and James Franco. We sat down with Greg at The Pack Theater on Santa Monica Blvd to talk about his newest movie, “Best F(r) iends: Volumes 1 and 2”, and the influence that cannabis infused edibles had on his creative writing process.

Edibles Magazine: Greg, for any Edibles Magazine readers who aren’t totally aware of who you are, how would you describe your career so far?

Greg Sestero: Mine is one of the most unorthodox paths taken in the history of Hollywood. In 2003 I made a movie, “The Room”, that was considered the worst movie ever made with no chance to succeed, made by my very close friend Tommy Wiseau who was someone who wasn’t given a part in Hollywood for years and so he decided he would make a movie and finance it all by himself. He put up a billboard

for five years and he did a lot of things that had never been done before and were looked at as being insane. And then a few years later people started seeing it and really responding to it, and it was all audience response with absolutely no studio behind it and it was really just built up by the people. By 2010 it had become this international cult phenomenon, and I was just kind of really trying to do my own thing and get away from it, and it wasn’t even really a part of my life at that time, but it almost really gave me another chance and that’s when I decided to write the book, “The Disaster Artist”.

My goal with the book was to tell a story about something that was so bad, that would then be turned into a movie that was so good it would win awards. Again, Tommy originally intended to make a movie that would be great enough to launch him, but it actually wound up being so bad. And then I tried to take that and turn it into something great, and here we are in 2017 a movie is made about “The Disaster Artist” that won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar.

So the path and experience I’ve

COVER STORY Tommy can play himself and then I’ll do my part. And Tommy said: (Greg Sestero doing a perfectly spot-on Tommy Wiseau impression) “That’s good idea let’s do it,” And the publisher is like: No, So I thought, okay I’ll play Tommy. It was something that I knew was very personal and to me it was more about connecting to an audience listening to the book, I wanted to tell the story and I’m really happy that I did because a lot of people from all over the world have walked up and said, “You kept me company on a long road trip for twelve hours…”, and I feel like that is really a great way to connect with a reader.

I really enjoy the voice acting aspect because you don’t need to worry about being on camera or what you look like.

You can really just bring these characters to life in a different way and I really enjoyed it.

had in Hollywood for the last twenty years is that there’s always a positive to be found within a negative and what I’ve learned is that you don’t need to let one circumstance define you, there’s always a way to work around it and if you stay true to who you are and what your passion is, and stay focused on that you can work your way out of a lot of trouble.

Another thing that’s really funny is - They (the publishers) wanted to do an audio book but they didn’t want me to narrate it, they wanted to get a professional narrator and I remember saying, “Okay, there’s nobody that knows Tommy the way that I do and I’m not gonna give that up. It’s like, if you guys wanna do an audiobook either I’m going to do it or it’s not going to happen.” I started to get very ambitious though and was thinking:

EM: How did you feel about Dave Franco’s portrayal of you in The Disaster Artist?

GS: I really liked it and Dave is such a great guy. It’s funny because as I got to know James (Franco), I really connected to James in a different way but as I got to know Dave I felt like Dave and I were very close and James, well he connected to Tommy in a different way. So the relationship, and James is obviously - well he’s not Tommy but he can understand him and he can relate to him so I think the dynamic was great. And Dave, he just really got it and said: “Hey I wanted to become an actor too and I came to LA and do these movies that I think are gonna go somewhere and they’re just really bad..”, so he got it. And I found him really easy to talk to. I loved that he didn’t really know The Room when he came onboard. He watched it by himself in a hotel room and was like, “My

fans from all over the world and they still come up and they love to talk about it. James Franco actually auditioned for the same role, at the same time. We had some overlap.

EM: Wait, that’s amazing. So you beat James Franco out for the role of Young André Toulon in Retro Puppet Master?

GS: Well, if you want to look at it that way…

brother wants to make a movie about this thing?”

EM: And you were once in a Puppet Master film?

GS: Yes, “Retro Puppet Master”. The very first thing I did, I booked it on Vine Street, only my fourth audition in LA, 600 actors and it was right before Christmas time so everyone was trying to get in this movie and I got it because I could do a French accent, or so I thought. People were coming up to me later and they were saying, “Nice German accent.” But we shot it in Romania and again, it was my first speaking role and I thought “Man, this is going to be huge.”

And then you watch it and little by little you think, “Well, back to the drawing board.”

But it was a great experience and there are some very, very passionate Puppet Master

GS: Yeah and I’m kind of a newcomer to the world of edibles, it was only a few years ago that I was going through a very stressful time and so I tried a THC infused edible and I started laughing at absolutely everything and it was a really unbelievable experience. I saw things differently and it was exactly what I needed. And then I tried a sativa edible and that was when things really started to get weird. I think I took a little too much and it was on the night of the Super Bowl. So I’m watching the Super Bowl and I started eating everything, I was eating all of these Skittles and for some reason Skittles, when you’ve had an edible, are the greatest thing ever. It got really strange, I stood up to watch the game, and so I’m

EM: Oh I want to look at it that way!

What initially lead to this interview was a statement you’d made online, that you were on edibles when you were first inspired and had the idea for this new project “Best F(r) iends”?

standing very close to the TV and I’m watching the game and I guess my girlfriend was watching me and said, “What are you doing?” I watched the whole game standing in front of the TV. This was the 2015 Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks and The New England Patriots, and I started getting these visions and I knew what was gonna happen in the game and it even got to where I knew what the score was gonna be and I even knew New England was gonna win 28-24. I already knew the outcome as I was watching it and it was so strange. When the game was over I kept watching and looking on the TV and still trying to find the game on and searching for it, it was just such a bizarre night. So I took a bit of a break, and then I did a sativa edible again, and I was watching "Breaking Bad" and it took me two whole hours to eat dinner because I was just really enjoying every bite and I was also watching “The Jinx” on my laptop and just going back and forth between the two and I started to get really creative, What I noticed was, all the judgement I would normally have when I was working on writing something went out the window.

Because a lot of times when you’re writing something you get halfway through and then think, “Well who’s gonna wanna see this? Why does this story matter and why when this character gets to this point, why doesn’t he just go to the police?” The story is over. You think through your story so much, you start to judge it, and that’s why a lot of things never get done. You start to not believe in what your doing. On that night so many things came to me, all these ideas and I thought about all these movies I loved, all these pieces, the friendship I had with Tommy and I started to

think about this road trip years ago when he thought I was trying to kill him. And I just jumped into that and started writing and it just worked. The story, I stopped trying to think of an outline and having things make sense and just went for it, and once I got the ball rolling and went for it, it all just flowed and I had fun experiencing the story as it was coming. I didn’t try and overanalyze it. It put me in the right zone to where I was able to get through the story, see it, feel it and come up with an ending that I really believed in. When I finished it I really believed in it and wanted to make it. Something about the looseness. A lot of people refer to it as a kind of a David Lynch kind of film and the vibe is very surreal. It pulled me out of being in my head and just allowed me to flow.

EM: Do you remember what the edibles were?

GS: Yes. A chocolate, sativa Cheeba chew.

EM: Oh nice, they’re very good. And they’re still

COVER STORY

GS: Tommy’s character is named Harvey and he’s a mortician, so we actually shot a lot in this real life morgue. And his backstory is kind of clouded, he was involved somehow with The Black Dahlia who was murdered close to here years ago. And he was inspired to become a mortician after that. And in one scene he has a dead clown on the slab and he’s tending to him and it’s really weird scene, Then later there’s a dream sequence in which the clown wakes up and starts to attack him (Tommy’s character), and starts to choke him and it’s one of my favorite moments because when I watch it because when you see it with a real audience in a movie theater you hear a gasp of, “What?” And every time it’s worth it to have made this movie just to have been there with an audience experiencing that scene because it’s so strange.

Which brings us back to his new movie, "BEST F(R)IENDS" - Inspired by True Events, a Sestero Pictures Production.

He’s right. Best F(r)iends is very strange.

Greg went on to tell us: “One of the best compliments I’ve had about the movie was, someone told me that after they watched it they felt drunk and stoned and they weren’t even on anything.”

He mentioned that he'd been told that it reminds people of a David Lynch movie and it’s easy to understand why it would.

It’s dark and surreal, similar in tone to a sort of Lynch-esque vibe. As soon as Tommy speaks, which is just a few minutes into the film, he says: “Welcome to my paradise. I’m very sorry to hear about your family. I cannot teach you ninja karate but I can give you a job.”

He’s referencing Greg’s extra clever cardboard panhandling sign and the lines are delivered as only Wiseau can.

He’s well cast in this and Sestero wrote the role specifically for him to play.

An overly friendly but totally creepy mortician doing business out of a run down garage is a good part for Tommy.

In The Room he plays a successful San Francisco banker despite looking and sounding like a Romanian death metal bass player. It’s well shot, looks and sounds like a real movie and is genuinely suspenseful. Like he said, Greg Sestero and Tommy Wiseau took a lot of road trips together in real life and on one of those trips, Wiseau became convinced Greg wanted to kill him. Those memories combined with Sestero’s Cheeba Chew fueled writing frenzy led him to create what some people are calling the spiritual sequel to The Room. It’s a creepy and funny, highly watchable film and it’s a mustsee for fans of The Room and/or The Disaster Artist. I watched it high and had a great time. Greg Sestero is one of the most laid back dudes I’ve ever met and he was even cooler than I expected. He’s got a bestselling book that was adapted into an award winning movie and now has a two part film he wrote. Volume One will be online and on digital at the end of September and part 2 is coming in January 2019. Critics are saying good things about BF1 and audiences are loving it. It’s great to see someone take such a weirdly unconventional and unexpected, surrealistic journey and come out doing so well. Most people couldn’t spin the situation into gold quite the way he has. As Mark said in The Room, "People Are Very Strange These Days." Good for Greg Sestero, a guy like him deserves it.

EMERALD CORNER

CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES Emerald Magazine

Three weeks have passed since the Carr Fire started.

The blaze is currently considered the biggest in the history of the United States scorching Shasta and Trinity Counties in California. Authorities have determined that sparks from a flat tire ignited dry vegetation that turned into a seemingly uncontrollable inferno. Entire forest areas and towns have been reduced to ash along the two counties.

Current updates estimate the situation will be contained by September, but the damage so far has been unimaginably devastating. The city of Redding was first to conduct evacuations when the fire jumped Sacramento River and burned most of the area followed by Summit City, Keswick, Lewiston, and French Gulch.

From July 25 until the next day, the fire destroyed more than 20,000 acres of land. A fire whirl in Redding was one of the freakish features of the conflagration.

Fire crews have built containment lines with great difficulty. An unnamed contract firefighter was the first fatality. Three firefighters from Marin County also sustained severe burns. Firefighter Jeremy Stoke however was not so lucky and was the second one to lose his life fighting the blaze. On July 28, Melody Bledsoe was not able to evacuate their Redding home and died with her two grandchildren Emily and James Roberts Jr. The next day the fire claimed another victim, a PG&E employee. Cal Fire heavy equipment operator Andrew Brake was killed in a traffic accident August 9th along Highway 99 in Tehama County. Draper City Battalion Chief Matthew Burchett of Draper City Fire Department is the latest fatality when he succumbed to injuries while working on the Mendocino Fire near Pillsbury, California.

Latest update from Cal Fire has reported 207,162 acres scorched with 65 percent of the fire contained.

As for property damage, 1,077 residences have been destroyed, 22 commercial structures, 500 outbuildings, with 113 still threatened.These numbers are not final though. More than four-thousand fire personnel are now involved along with hundreds of fire engines.

CANNABIS FARMS SAVED FROM FLAMES BUT SUFFER PRODUCTION DELAYS The Golden State is also the agricultural mammoth of the U.S., followed by Iowa and Nebraska. With more than 200 different crops grown, it has the highest economic production among the states. Aside from grains, cattle, fruits, and vegetables, California is also the biggest contributor to the cannabis industry in the U.S.

Cannabis farmers are among those threatened by the fire. Last year, Rolling Stone reported 30 to 40 percent of cannabis farmers have been affected. The worst seems yet to come for the industry that has only began to pick up the pace for legal recreational cannabis. It looks as if nature itself is a bigger threat than anti-cannabis politicians and other groups with their thumbs down for the cannabis market.

With its nearly 40 million population, more than a million patients rely on cannabis for their medical needs. The state has about one third of the North American market. Since the legalization of recreational use, Business Insider predicts sales of up to 5.1 billion dollars by 2019.

Mendocino Clone Company has been growing for 24 years and has a new nursery operating in Mendocino County for just two years. The Ranch fire started July 27 just across the valley from their location to the southwest. It burned to the south and spent the last 2 weeks burning its way around the farm to the East.

It started about 3 miles away, approached about 1/2 mile away and has spent the last 10 days about 1.5 miles away burning behind the ridge above a house.

Personnel did not elect to leave as the winds were favorable and they figured they had about 8 hours of observing the behavior of the fire before it became a threat to them. Everything had been loaded and ready to be moved if the situation worsened. Luckily, fire did not reach them, and they did not lose product or mother plants but have lost nearly 2 weeks of production because employees could not cross the police barricade to come to work as they are in an evacuation zone. Many labor hours were wasted while preparing to evacuate. Lost revenue and labor costs are estimated at $20,000 to $30,000.

Heartrock Farm, east of Potter Valley was fortunate as well not to be reached by the fire. When the blaze jumped the 60 break above the farm, personnel decided to leave and return in the morning. Cal Fire trucks and volunteers were present to keep the flames from reaching the farm. The situation was put under control and it was saved.

The two farms are part of Mendocino Generations headed by President and Director Chiah Rodiques.

This alliance of 60 farms has been contributing to the growth of the cannabis industry for years. Following this experience, they are now more vigilant, working together to prevent fires from happening.

The situation has caused labor and production delays for farmers in affected areas. With legal regulatory problems plaguing cannabis, it remains to be seen if farmers can catch up to the growing demand which they are running behind schedule for the next year.

How International Trump Tariffs Will Impact The Cannabis Industry Paul Pot

Wherever you look these days, thanks to state by state passage of medical and adult use, the cannabis industry in the US and Canada is beginning to bloom. But there is a big potential bump in the road ahead and its Trump's punitive tariff war with China. There will be at least three areas of the industry that will be impacted.

Fulfilling a campaign promise to "level the playing field," Trump has attacked the trade deficit between the two countries with sizeable tariffs. He levied $34 billion worth in July and China was quick to retaliate with an equal dose of tariffs on US goods. It can only escalate from here. The first round has brought as much as 25% tariffs on some goods. Businesses impacted then have to decide if they can pass the added cost onto consumers or eat that cost and lower their profits. It's easy to guess how that's going to go.

The biggest impact of these tariffs will be passed along in the cost of vaporizers, vape pens, the batteries they use, the pre-filled cartridges they require, plus filters and other elements. Profit margins are low on these products, usually between 10 and 15%. Any alternative sources besides China are few and far between. The tariff costs will have to be passed on to the consumers.

That is expected to have an effect on the "entire cannabis consumption market - including medical and recreational marijuana," according to product industry spokesman Arnaud Dumas de Rauly co-CEO of The Blink Group. He recently testified at public government hearings about the proposed tariffs. "It's not just consumers who will feel the impact" he advised. "Higher prices mean decreasing sales and shrinking tax revenues and 25% of sales come from cannabis vaping product."

Ancillary products will also be affected. In Washington state shop owners will be paying more for the glass jars they use to package their buds for consumers.

Marijuana Business Daily has suggested another place of impact that will be felt will be the cost of packaging materials imported from China.

Growers aren't exempt either. Their costs will rise if if lighting equipment from China is also hit with the punishing tariffs.The cost of equipment used in extraction in the making of cannabis concentrates will go up with the added cost to Chinese steel and aluminum.

The third area that could feel a big bad impact would be the stock market. There are at least three marijuana related stocks that could be impacted. One is Scott's Miracle Gro. Their subsidiary, Hawthorne Gardening brings in about 11% of the gross revenue. A big slice of that comes from lighting supplies and products for hydroponic growing. They recently bought a supplier that buys and re-brands Chinese-made products. If they are hit by the tariffs, then Scott's Miracle-Gro must decide if they or their customers will feel the pinch.

LED light producers could be in line for a hit. Although most pot farmers still prefer high pressure sodium lights, public companies like CREE are leading this nascent branch of pot production and would feel the heat if tariffs strike.

Santa Ana, California based Kush Bottles could also be in a tight spot. They are a popular supplier and source for much of the packaging and branding materials for the cannabis industry. Much of their resources are from China. Any price increase for them would likely be passed right through to consumers.

All in all the impact of the new and proposed tariffs could have a measurable negative impact on the marijuana industry and consumers. Can the Trump plan affect industry and consumer wallets? Yes it can. Some consumers can tighten their belts but for medical marijuana patients, there could be tough choices ahead.

Meanwhile Trump is tweeting, "Tariffs are the greatest!'

Canadian Cannabis Investors May Get Lifetime Bans From Entering the U.S. B. Le Grand

Investors, executives and professionals Canada, the border between the two places is still connected to cannabis industry are avoiding federal jurisdiction patrolled by federal border guards. travel to U.S. for fear of a lifetime ban.

Cannabis will be federally legal in Canada in less than two months, October 17. But Canadians working in the cannabis industry are starting to run into big problems at the U.S. border.

Over 30,000 people cross the U.S.-Canadian border in Blaine, Washington, every day.

For the most part, it's a trouble-free painless experience, but recently for some Canadian business people, things seemed to have changed.

Sam Znaimer is a Vancouver, a Canadianbased venture capitalist who put more than $100,000 into legal American cannabis companies. Just a few months ago in May, he attempted to drive across the border, and was flagged for a secondary inspection prompting a four hour interrogation.

"To my shock and horror, I was told that I was deemed to be inadmissible to the United States because I was assisting and abetting in the illicit trafficking of drugs," Znaimer said.

"They never asked whether I had consumed marijuana, the only thing that they're interested in is that I've been an investor in U.S.-based cannabis companies."

"I was shocked. I couldn't believe that anyone as peripherally involved with these companies as an investor could possibly be deemed to be assisting and abetting. It is a huge regulatory overreach," Znaimer said.

Len Saunders is an immigration lawyer based in Blaine, Washington. He says some of his clients are being denied entry to the U.S. — some even receiving lifetime bans — for their business associations with cannabis.

Saunders says his clients are being told by U.S. border guards that even a loose association — like being an angel investor — could land them a lifetime ban from the United States.

"They're being told that they're barred, either based upon reason to believe that they're involved with the drug-trafficking industry — which is marijuana — or based upon living off the avails of drug money, because they're getting paid by their Canadian companies."

The U.S. Department of Customs and Border Protection notes that "marijuana remains federally prohibited in the United States," that it's "officers are thoroughly trained on admissibility factors" and that their determinations "are made on a case-by-case basis ...based on the facts and circumstances known to the officer at the time."

Saunders said it was previously unheard of to see a business traveller denied entry. Now, he says, many Canadian business executives have decided to not travel to the U.S. for business purposes and to stay in Canada.

Barinder Rasode, the CEO of the National Institute for Cannabis Health and Education, says fears of a lifetime ban from the U.S. are leading some business people to take extreme measures. "[They are] wiping their phone clean or only communicating in certain apps so they can delete the app, or even shipping their phone ahead to their destination … these are realities we're not used to as Canadians."

Terry Lake, B.C.'s former minister of health, is now Vice President at a Canadian cannabis company. He says he plans to lobby the federal government about the issue.

"I think we'll really have to press for some discussions with the federal government to try to intervene on behalf of anyone not just directly involved in the cannabis industry, but let's say you make lighting systems that happen to be used in greenhouses. The ability to do our Despite the fact marijuana is legal in business is going to be severely impaired if we Washington state, and will soon be legal in cannot cross that border," Lake said.

"I'm getting calls almost daily from individuals in the marijuana industry in Canada who are concerned about either themselves or their employees entering the United States for business," Saunders said.

Scarface’s Sugar Cookies with Guava & Lime Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1 1/2 cup cannabis infused butter 1 cup sugar 1 large egg 1 1/2 teaspoons light rum 2 teaspoons finely grated lime zest 5 tablespoons guava preserves or jam

Instructions: Combine the flour, salt and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl and set aside. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cannabis butter at medium speed for about 1 minute.

Gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until it is pale and fluffy, an additional 3 to 4 minutes.

Add the egg and continue to beat 1 more minute. Stir in the rum and lime zest. Add the flour mixture to the creamed butter all at once then stir with a wooden spoon or spatula for a couple of turns. Return the bowl to the stand and mix on the lowest speed until the flour is just incorporated, do not over-mix.

Using a small teaspoon or narrow end of a pestle, make a small indentation in the center of each cookie. Chill shaped cookies until firm, 5 minutes, while you prepare the guava filling. In a small saucepan, melt guava preserves over low heat, 5 minutes, stirring constantly until smooth. Strain preserves into a bowl. Place about 1/4 teaspoon of melted guava in the center of each cookie, do not overfill. Bake the cookies until the edges are lightly golden, though the tops will still be pale, 15 to 18 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully remove the cookies and lay out on a cooling rack.

Shape the dough into 2 equal discs, and cover each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate until very firm, at least 2 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or non-stick liner. Place one portion of dough between 2 pieces of parchment or wax paper (keep remaining dough chilled) and roll out to about 1/2-inch thick. Repeat with remaining dough.

Return the rolled discs to the refrigerator between layers of parchment and chill until firm again, 15 to 20 minutes. Using a round cookie cutter (about 1 1/2-inch wide) or other desired shape, cut out the cookies and place on the lined baking sheet. Re-roll scraps once to cut more shapes.

Place the potatoes on a baking sheet. Rub them with the infused oil and bake for 1 hour, making sure they're sufficiently cooked through. Make sure the cannabis butter is room temp. Place in a large mixing bowl and add the bacon bits and sour cream. Remove the potatoes from the oven. Lower the heat to 350 degrees F. With a sharp knife, cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides into the mixing bowl, being careful not to tear the shell. Leave a small rim of potato intact for support. Lay the hollowed out potato shells on a baking sheet. Smash the potatoes into the butter, bacon and sour cream. Add the cheese, milk, seasoned salt, green onions and black pepper to taste and mix together well. Fill the potato shells with the filling. I like to fill the shells so they look abundant and heaping. Top each potato with a little more grated cheese and canna-butter and put them back in the oven until the potato is warmed through, 15 to 20 minutes.

PRODUCT REVIEWS Original K’s CBD Infused Toothpicks Jack Paradise

Original K’s CBD Infused Toothpicks are a new product I was very excited to try. I’ve been chewing on toothpicks ever since I quit smoking cigarettes years ago.

It’s a great way to supplant a dangerous habit with a harmless one that actually aids a bit in dental health and satisfies that routine pot-meal oral fixation you’ve grown so accustomed to over the years. These particular chewing sticks are even more impressive that the tea tree variety I’ve been using because they’re infused with CBD. High quality white birch toothpicks infused with cannabidiol from hemp and sweetened with natural stevia. They’re sugarfree, THC free, individually wrapped and flavored with natural peppermint. Each pick has 8 mg of CBD

and every packet comes with 6 toothpicks total, giving you 48 mg of CBD in the most basic and discreet delivery system around.

These sticks chew well and last a nice while. The peppermint flavor is released pretty intensely if you bite hard enough but won’t overwhelm you if you’d rather not go there. It’s a nice relaxing way to have some CBD and leaves your breath tasting great. White Birch is one of the more eco-friendly and easily sustainable woods to grow so you don’t need to feel guilty about that. A relaxingly simple way to keep your teeth clean after a meal or to freshen your breath following a heavy smoke sesh, they’re lightweight and super compactable and easy to transport. These minty little wooden treats are innovative and also as traditional as it gets. If you’re trying to quit smoking these might be just what you need to seal the deal. Also great for driving and for at the movies when you eat all that popcorn.

Cumulus Candies - Sour Pineapple Sugar Shatter

Edibles Magazine Issue 48

Jakki Hernandez

With a tagline like, “Suck Me” I knew I was going to be a fan of Cumulus Candies, and then I tried the reinvented cannabis treat and realized, everyone should, “suck on these”. Edibles have truly come a long way from the shatter infused jolly ranchers of yesterday.

Cumulus Candies somehow manage to squeeze consistent good vibes and great flavor in each of their shatter infused hard candies. The square shape and small size of these micro dosed edibles was very appealing to me since they are small but last a good while in your mouth. The flavor is what makes you want to keep coming back, a powdery sour coating covers a nice lightly sweet candy, giving you that sweet and sour punch that wakes up your taste buds.

Let’s talk about the effect, at times edibles can be too heavy and more for a good night in bed, Cumulus

candies on the other hand would be better for taking during the day when being active and social is the plan. At a comfortable microdose at just 5 mg ea, the candies left me feeling very focused with a mellow mind high, and a calming sensation in my nerves that resulted a very relaxed body. Recently, I have become a huge fan of micro-dosing, although my tolerance is very high when it comes to the amount of THC that takes away my pain I have learned that 5 mg is great for my anxiety. The sour pineapple candies were perfect for popping in my mouth on those days where I just needed to take the edge off while still completing my daily tasks. The sweet and sour taste from the pineapple was refreshing and delicious with absolutely no cannabis flavor to be found. The bag of Cumulus Candies was a great addition to my purse and I would recommend these for any outing where cannabis discretion is in the forecast. There are plenty in the bag to share and since the dose is so low it will be a comfortable entry point into edibles and how a low dose THC feels. Remember friends when it comes to edibles, the golden rule is; start low and go slow.

The Original Jack Herer™ Flower Daisy Dahlia

Dan was kind enough to invite the Edibles Magazine staff to a Herer Group party in Santa Cruz during the National Cannabis Industry Association conference and there was a lot of fresh flower there at a beautifully set up rollyour-own joint station with papers, pipes, grinders, and about one full pound of nicely trimmed, beautiful buds of Jack Herer™ flower.

We rolled joint after joint of the fluffy stuff. It was malleable inside the papers with nothing sharp or prickly poking anywhere at any point.

Some of that’s from care of the crop but starting out with product this gorgeous and soft goes a long way. The smell was absolutely wonderful and the cheesiest we’ve come across. It was like a sharp cheddar/nacho scent that was potently fragrant in the best of cheesy ways.

Aromatic enough that you’ll want to store it as properly as possible or people will really think you’re a cheese smuggler and the rawmilk and unpasteurized kind is illegal so be careful. This was a sativa-high that was a fresh, funkily energized and hazily frenetic as any I’ve experienced. We were “Jacked”, get it? We smoked and smoked and couldn’t stop talking about weed, terpenes, music, cannabinoids, growing culture, beaches, bigfoot and aliens.. It was live-wire style chat fest but we barely ever got off the couch. Love, love, loved this bud and can’t recommend it enough.

Can You Spot The Pot?

Cannacals TM By:

Edibles Magazine Issue 48

The Original Jack Herer™ brand by Herer Group is known throughout the world of cannabis for promoting clear headed creativity in sativa style, yet retaining the flavorful resins of an indica.

Jack Herer, sometimes called the "Emperor of Hemp", was an American cannabis rights activist, legendary grower and the author of ‘The Emperor Wears No Clothes’. JH Combines a Haze hybrid with a Northern Lights number 5 and Shiva Skunk. The Dutch company Sensi Seeds created Jack Herer in the Netherlands in the mid-nineties hoping to capture both the cerebral elevation associated with a sativas and the heavy duty resin production of an indica.

Now JH is back in its purest form, brought to us all by Jack’s son Dan Herer and Herer Group.

Sublime Mars J-1 Sativa Vape Cartridge Tommy Knowledge

“Sublime” is defined as: “of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe”, and any solid that turns into a vapor without going through the liquid phase can be said to sublime or "sublimate."

There’s some fun with words that all totally fits with this particular product. Sublime has been making very cool cartridges for some time now, and they have a brand new line that’s their best yet - STRATA. STRATA is available in 4 different flavor strains and each is inspired by a separate planet/Roman God that best reflects the plant profile. They go like this: Mars - Sativa, Mercury - Sativa Hybrid , Venus - Indica, and Neptune Indica Hybrid. I’m reviewing Mars here. Mars was the god of war, an agricultural guardian, and second in importance only to Jupiter. He’s known as “Ares” in Greek mythology and in both DC and Marvel Comics, where you’ll usually find him fighting Wonder Woman or Thor. Seems like he gets a bad rap considering he’s the deity most closely associated with crops, agricultural and harvests - sounds like a cannabis god to me.

The stratosphere is the layer of the earth's atmosphere above the troposphere, extending 32 miles above the earth's surface (the lower boundary of the mesosphere). So, it’s a higher level, or - the next level. And these vapes can and will take you there. Pesticide-free, sunkissed cannabis from farms in California’s Emerald Triangle is used to make oils with state-of-theart extraction machines which keep the whole process temperature controlled to stay true to the strain’s natural profile. A cold ethanol extraction method is used that concentrates desired plant oils and leaves all else. Then they reintroduce fullspectrum terpenes for intensely enhanced flavor and refine the oil. No added industrial terpenes or harmful solvents are used. J1 is a cross between two legendary sativas, Skunk #1 and Jack Herer, and is known for its creative, clear-headed buzz.

30 full spectrum, complex terpenes are reintro’d with oil that is 75% THC. Golden concentrate in a gold and glass cart with a matching central pole make this among the classiest of the cartridges and the frosted glass tip is next level indeed. This is a potent and deliciously uplifting experience that feels good going all day. Creative, energized and high - a great way to feel while you get things done.

Today I had the great pleasure of trying out the disposable Vape pen by Humble Extracts. The Pen contains a sour diesel extract. For a disposable, this pen is very well constructed. It has a solid base, and a classy glass tip. Even though it is disposable, it comes with a charging cable.

This is the first disposable Vape pen I’ve seen with a charge port. This is great for me, because I don’t use a Vape pen often. I’m very partial to my flowers. But due to pretty extreme spasticity, this is something that I have to have as part of my arsenal when I’m out and about.

A while ago, I had issues using vaporizers. As a quadriplegic, my lungs are compromised.

Gizeh King Size Slim Papers + Tips Jack Paradise

The Gizeh King Size Slim rolling papers are most definitely my favorite new wraps.

We scored a bunch of these in Mexico while we were at the cannabis conference down there. They make a variety of cool rolling paper products and filters and everything is top notch. The best of the best is their King Size Slim Papers with Pre-Perforated Filter Tips. Gizeh’s been the top manufacturer of European rolling papers for close to 100 years now and it’s immediately easy to understand why when you roll one up, especially once you light it. Smooth and slow burning extra fine papers that rolls as easy as a tiny tortilla, there’s barely any taste or smell at all outside of whatever it really is you’re smoking. That’s exactly as it should be and there’s been far too many times in my life when the smell of burning paper overpowered the sweet aroma of the ganja I’d been hoping to enjoy. We can all thank Gizeh for saving us from suffering those tragic circumstances any longer.

The size of the King Slim papers is perfect and if all goes right you should end up with a nice tight jay that’s just the size of a cigarette.

The pre-perforated cardboard filters are just the right size for a full crutch. You get 34 leaves and 34 flex tips, so each packet allows you to roll 34 smokes if you don’t mess any up. The folding packet has a handy magnetic seal that makes safe storage and transport easier and keeps your papers protected. We rolled some nice joints using freshly ground Cherry Thai cannabis and Gizeh King Slims before seeing the late night screening of Crazy Rich Asians and it was an outstanding combination. Get some Gizeh papers ASAP and roll your own. They burn beautifully and fit perfectly in any standard size doob tube if you plan on taking your handiwork to go.

California Cannabis License Imposter?

Daisy Dahlia

The word counterfeit can be: an adjective - made in exact imitation of something valuable or important with the intention to deceive or defraud, a noun - a fraudulent imitation of something else; a forgery, or a verb - imitate fraudulently, but all 3 have a very similar idea. Forgeries and counterfeits usually are thought of as being of money, or art, or documents. Now it seems that cannabis licenses might be getting fraudulently used by the wrong people. Maybe it’s an honest mistake?

Perhaps the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Decide for yourself.

Sonoma Pacific Distribution sent around 600 units of a product called HoneyButter Rosin to at least seventeen different dispensaries that displayed labels with Ground Level’s name and license number. Ronnie Cabral is the Hughie Stonefish founder of Ground Level, which does business as Atlas Extracts, and he had never heard of HoneyButter Rosin, He’d also never had any finalized professional dealings with Sonoma Pacific Distribution. Sonoma Pacific Distribution had talked to him about a distribution arrangement, since both companies are based in Santa Rosa, but it had only been talk. The distributor was using Cabral’s state business information on labels for products made by different company. The mislabeling meant Atlas Extracts might have been held liable by state regulators if the product had been found to be illegal or contaminated. The mislabeled HoneyButter Rosin products were recalled from the stores, and the incident was reported to both the California Department of Public Health and the Bureau of Cannabis Control.

Stacy Hostetter, an attorney for Sonoma Pacific Distribution, said “There were discussions about copackaging for some products, and there was evidently a misunderstanding about the ability to co-package, and the product went out.” Hostetter also mentioned that the HoneyButter recall was initiated August 15th and is “mostly complete.”

All of California’s cannabis companies’ names and license numbers are posted online by the Bureau of Cannabis Control and departments of Public Health and Food and Agriculture. Cabral told Mj Biz Daily, “I don’t know how that can be safeguarded, or how we as operators can protect ourselves and our license number from something like that when we have to put it on every product that we sell.” “It’s like tattooing your Social Security number on your forehead and telling everyone to keep it a secret.” How can we all protect ourselves or better regulate against this kind of thing.

The future will tell.

The problem is, it is not the Dr. Sanjay Gupta you’re thinking of, the famous CNN Chief Medical Correspondent and medical marijuana advocate, who produced “Weed,” the mainstream documentary series.

In a tweet on August 13, CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta responded to the initial news stories that broke about the “Dr. Gupta’s” new product line, Dr. Gupta tweeted, “Guys, you know this isn’t true. I haven’t partnered with anyone and have never endorsed any products.

Perhaps you are doing good work, but you are absolutely misrepresenting my involvement.

First I ever heard of this was from this tweet.

Please correct.”

In comments to Hemp Industry Daily, Tree of Knowledge chair Michael Caridi “scoffed” at the idea the Dr. Gupta’s product line was intentionally ambiguous about which Dr. Gupta was endorsing the product.

Edibles Magazine Issue 48

“The way (consumers) are going to tell them apart is, they’re going to go to doctors in the pain association and hear about it there,” Caridi told the outlet. In the initial press release on the Dr. Gupta’s product line, the Tree of Instead, the Dr. Sanjay Gupta who licensed Knowledge did not draw a clear distinction his name is the president of the American between the two doctors or outright state that Pain Association and the director of a show their Dr. Gupta was not the famous CNN called “Health Time TV.” reporter.

“We are extremely excited that Dr. Gupta has selected TOK to work with to create a new product line under his name. We see this as an extraordinary partnership where we can combine our expertise in creating premium quality products with Dr. Gupta’s worldwide name recognition,” said Tree of Knowledge CEO Jean-Paul Gaillard in the August announcement.

The story gets weirder, as the CNN Dr. Sanjay Gupta replied to Tree of Knowledge’s tweets announcing the the line.

The Canadian company tweeted, “Tree Of Knowledge International is partnering

It it yet to be seen if the CNN Dr. Sanjay Gupta will pursue further action or if the “Dr. Gupta’s” products will make it clear on their labeling which Dr. Gupta is endorsing the products.

While the initial trademark issue is developing under Canadian law, if the products get released to the United States later this year as planned, the issue would then be fair game in the US legal system. In many cases, just because someone has the name, doesn’t necessarily mean they own the trademark and right to use it. It seems odd that they would declare this not an intentional confusion, but then intentional tweet at the wrong Dr. Gupta.

HIGH MOVIE REVIEW TEXT HERE

Crazy Rich Asians Movie Review B. Le Grand

The movie was released to theaters August 15th, 2018, which for me ironically was the same day I had a court date for a small claims trial, where I countersued a graphic designer for being Anti-Asian and making racist remarks about our February 2017 Lunar New Year Issue, saying it was “too Asian” and “too tacky”. Those comments ended our working relationship forever. I unfortunately ended up getting an old caucasian male judge who had no sympathy for blatant racism and white washing.

So it was refreshing and groundbreaking for this movie to be released with such fanfare, and representation. Earlier this summer Black Panther made waves in the entertainment industry providing representation to the black community.

DJ Reid mentioned in his Blerd movie review that he had never seen an entire movie audience of black people. This was a similar experience.

I remember when I saw the first previews for Crazy Rich Asians in the movie theaters. I thought to myself, “Wow, this must a super targeted indie film going to indie theatersonly.” Boy, was I wrong. Apparently, the film turned down a lucrative upfront payday by Netflix with a trilogy contract, but the makers of the film opted in favor for a traditional Hollywood premiere with theatrical release, because they felt that what the Asian community deserved.

If anyone is wondering why inclusion and representation matters, let us remind you of the poor Hollywood casting choices made causing backlash in films like Ghost in the Shell where Scarlet Johansson plays a Japanese anime robot, or Aloha where Emma Stone plays a Chinese-Hawaiian mixed girl, or The Descendants where George Clooney plays a Hawaii, or when Cloud Atlas put the entire cast in Yellow-face, or when Disney mushed all Polynesian cultures into one for Moana. Shall I continue?

Crazy Rich Asians is notably the first contemporary big studio Hollywood film in 25 years to feature an all Asian cast. The last one was in 1993, The Joy Luck Club, which actually did feature a white male supporting character.

Honorable mentions are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which also starred Michelle Yeoh showing off her kickass martial arts skills, and Memoirs of a Geisha, both of which are set hundreds of years in the past and not with contemporary characters and story lines.

Being half-Chinese and growing up in the nineties in Hawaii, I remember seeing The Joy Luck Club at 8 years old, and thinking it was the first movie on the big screen I had seen that I could relate to their characters and it actually explained a lot to me about the history of my own Chinese culture.

Other than that one movie, we never had Asian

representation in entertainment. There was of course Bruce Lee, who was mostly an action star and famous in China before America, and then his son Brandon Lee, who ultimately died from what some would say was the tragic family curse. There’s also famous actors Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Kelly Yu and Lucy Liu - who all made their names as martial arts action stars. I think the point is in my last sentence. Asians are stereotypically cast as Kung Fu masters and seem to be not thought as “useable” for any other role.

Crazy Rich Asians proves that not only can Asians lead a film, people will come out to see a good movie, if it’s a good movie. I saw the movie at L.A. Live’s Regal Cinema Theaters, on a Tuesday night, which is their half-off movie night. While it didn’t seem like a busy night for the movies, this particular theater was fully packed with Asian bargain-seeker movie-goers. There were a few noticeable white couples, but mostly every person in that audience was Asian of some kind.

Throughout the movie, you could see on people’s faces and by their tear wiping gestures that this was truly a moving moment in movie history. There were scenes that shouldn’t have been emotional to the viewer and people were shedding tears, myself included.

At the heart of the movie, is a Cinderella story. Boy meets girl, girl doesn’t know he’s basically Asian royalty, and now girl must confront the challenges of a culture she doesn’t know anything about, that is rooted in centuries of tradition. It could have almost been a white girl cast as the lead, as they show the differences in identity when you’re Asian and American born and opposed to having been born in Asia and grown up with that culture. The author of the book, Kevin Kwan, had been approached in 2013 by a studio that said they would fund the movie, if they rewrote the lead as a caucasian white woman.

Obviously he turned it down.

The storyline tackles the intricacies of being treated differently in your own culture. As if one doesn’t face enough scrutiny as a minority in America, when you go to the motherland, you’re treated like a foreigner there as well, treating you as if unwelcomed. I can

HIGH MOVIE REVIEW (cont'd)

Crazy Rich Asians Continued from PG 55

relate to these scenarios directly, as my mother was an immigrant that came to America to escape a life of martial law and communism where she was from. My grandmother had stories of having to swim through dead bodies in a sea stained red by blood, to get to the boat, filled with more dead bodies, as a 5 year old with her family escaping to Taiwan from the Chinese war.

My grandparents immigrated after their children did, so I was lucky enough to have the memories of making dumplings as a family together. My Chinese grandparents didn’t speak any English so I had to learn broken Chinese to communicate with them, and everytime I would speak Chinese they would tell me how American my accent sounded. But even in my own Chinese family, I am half-white, and even being Americanborn like my cousins, I’m still looked at as different.

Not only does Crazy Rich Asians accurately tackle Chinese culture, and the guilt and judgment that takes place within their own families, it shatters any stereotype or mold that Hughiearen’t Stonefish Asians marketable in a Romantic Comedy. I actually can’t remember the last time I paid to see a rom-com in the theaters. I usually try to spare my boyfriend and we’ll stream on Amazon or Netflix some rom-com that had been released earlier this year, and we’ll save the movies like superhero films for the big screen.

There was something very special about this film, and it was beyond a great cast, good acting, it really had a great storyline that expanded beyond just a boy meets girl, and happy ending.

They say the best movies are based on books, and this one comes in a 3 part series. We hope that they will get greenlight for the next two studio releases, and we hope this sets a new precedent on casting with representation. They also say there are no bad actors, just bad casting.

Henry Golding plays handsome and charming, so believably well in his first movie role. Constance Wu plays a perfect “banana,” a term used in the film to reference her as “yellow on the outside and white on the inside.” Awkwafina plays the comic relief so well, I feel like everyone has a friend like her in their group they can relate to.

I don’t want to give too many spoilers, but its funny, it’s moving, it’s believable and takes place in a modern day setting that feels real to the viewer. It is just one culture tackled, and hopefully so many more to come. It feels like a special time in history for films like Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians to be made. In Crazy Rich Asians, you could replace Asians with black, Greeks, latino, white, etc. and it would still be relatable because the story is about identity, knowing who you are, tradition, approval from your family and following your heart.

I read and heard other press interviews about the movie before I saw it, and the best way it’s been put but John Chu the director himself, by the end of the movie you don’t even notice you’re watching a film about Asians, you’re watching a great story.

That’s why you should see it, it’s a great film, it’s making history, and you get to see the 1% of the 1% of the opulence in Asia.

US NEWS

DEA Wants More Pot Grown, Less Opioids

Paul Pot

According to Forbes Magazine, the DEA wants to increase the amount of cannabis permitted for research in the US while decreasing the amount of opioids being produced.

The DEA, never known as a friend to the cannabis industry is apparently responding to the growing chorus of support for medical cannabis and even recreational use. They have authorized an increase of more than five times their 2018 quota, jumping from about 1,000 pounds a year being grown for research to about 5400 pounds of the plant in 2019. Production of CBD related planting will remain at 2018 levels.

Simultaneously the DEA is also pressing to reduce opioid production in the US, targeting oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine, fentanyl and others. "We've lost too many lives to the opioid epidemic and families and communities suffer tragic consequences every day", according to DEA Acting Administrator Uttam Dhillon in a press release. By reducing production he also believes fewer of these drugs will be available for abuse and access to "proper drugs" will be advanced.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions, long-time anti-pot activist also stated "the opioid crisis we are facing is the worst crisis in American History". But his solution is aimed only at slowing opioid abuse and not being an advocate for cannabis as a replacement solution.

So where would this new cannabis production take place?

That remains a question. Most of the cannabis produced for medical research in the US comes from a single source at the University of Mississippi. Scientists have complained for years that this has been limiting and the quality is poor.

The Obama administration attempted to remedy this by accepting applications from more than a dozen locations, ready to produce, but the Sessions team has not acted on any of them. Sessions had stated last October that he was looking into this. In April he said something would happen "soon" but still no action has been taken.

Perhaps this new edict is a sign that something could be happening. NORML Political Director Justin Strekel had a more direct solution."It's time Congress look at the 28,000 plus peer-reviewed studies currently hosted on the National Institute of Health's online database and reform federal law by removing marijuana from the the controlled substance act altogether".

These new DEA quotas were just published on the Federal Register (www.federalregister.com) and the public now has 30 days to review, post comments and perhaps stimulate amendments.
