Dreamy Sweet Cream Cannabutter ice cream offers another way to get frosty this summer BY SAMANTHA WOHLFEIL

A

s the hottest days of summer get here, few things are as satisfying as a scoop of nice, cold ice cream. Add cannabutter into the mix and, you’ve got some extra special frozen edible goodness.

Here’s the best part: Turns out, it’s actually insanely easy to make your own ice cream without an ice cream maker. All it takes is a mixer or a whisk and a few simple ingredients.

This recipe will land you a healthy stash of adults-only classic vanilla ice cream that is super easy to customize by adding in your favorite cookies, cereal or fruit filling.

But first thing’s first. You’ll need to make some cannabutter. This infused butter recipe will give you far more than you need for the ice cream, so store the rest in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer and use it as needed for other baking adventures.

CANNABUTTER

1 cup salted butter (two sticks) 1/8 ounce (3.5 grams) cannabis flower (cheap is definitely fine)

Preheat the oven to 245 degrees. Break up the buds and put the pieces on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes. Fair warning: This process is very smelly.

Once cool, grind or finely cut up the weed, and add it to a slow cooker with two sticks of butter. Heat on low for two to three hours, making sure not to burn the butter.

Strain through a cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer into a container for storage and you’re done.

CANNABIS ICE CREAM 2 1 3 1

cups heavy whipping cream 14-ounce can sweetened condensed milk tablespoons cannabutter, melted teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Crushed cookies Your favorite cereal Jam or fruit filling Whip the heavy cream in a large cool bowl until stiff peaks form.

Mix the sweetened condensed milk, cannabutter and vanilla extract together in another bowl, then gently fold the mixture into the whipped cream with a spatula.

Spread the mix in a 9-inch-by-5-inch loaf pan, cover tightly and freeze. If you want to add mix-ins, stir those in after the mixture has been in the freezer for a little while.

Freeze for at least five or six hours, then scoop and enjoy.

Remember that the potency of homemade edibles is hard to predict, so it’s better to start with a small serving and keep in mind it sometimes takes more than an hour for edibles to kick in. n

A type of psychedelic mushroom found in Washington and Oregon.

A Time to Trip A What’s behind the recent push to decriminalize psychedelic mushrooms in Western states?

BY JOSH KELETY

6 GREEN ZONE QUARTERLY SUMMER 2019

re psychedelic mushrooms the next frontier for state-based drug policy reform in the United States? Activists in the West lobbying for decriminalization or legalization of mushrooms and other natural psychedelics certainly think so.

On the federal level, psilocybin mushrooms, as they’re formally titled, are classified as a Schedule I narcotic on par with heroin and meth. But over the last few months, both Denver and Oakland have effectively decriminalized psilocybin mushrooms through both a ballot initiative and city council-approved resolution respectively. In Oregon, meanwhile, activists are campaigning to pass Initiative Petition 12, which would legalize psilocybin mushrooms for regulated therapeutic use by licensed providers.

Activists chalk up the recent string of successes to a variety of factors: New academic research illustrating the medicinal benefits of psilocybin mushrooms for treating medical conditions like addiction and depression; shifting attitudes on the criminalization of drugs in general; and liberals in highly progressive cities becoming bolder in the current polarized political era under President Donald Trump.

This isn’t to say that there’s widespread mass appeal for decriminalizing psychedelic mushrooms on par with support for marijuana policy reform efforts. The Denver ballot measure that made possession, consumption or production of mushrooms by people 21 or older a low priority for law enforcement in Denver passed by less than 2,000 votes. But in liberal bastions where voters are vehemently opposed to the dated war on drugs, such measures have a good shot, some activists say.

“The political climate in the U.S. is primed for passing these measures in the sense that the left has shifted further left, the right has shifted further right,” says Carlos Plazola, board chair of Decriminalize Nature Oakland, the organization that successfully lobbied the City Council to pass a resolution effectively decriminalizing all natural psychedelics. “The left is taking a strong stance on things it feels strongly about.”

Despite psilocybin mushrooms’ illegality at the federal level, institutions like John Hopkins University, New York University, and the University of California Los Angeles have been pursuing research on the potential medicinal benefits of psilocybin, adding to an existing body of research. Studies from both John Hokpins and New York University that were published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology in 2016 found that psilocybin — the psychedelic compound in mushrooms — significantly decreased depression and anxiety among cancer patients for up to six months after a single large dosage of the compound. Similarly, a 2014 John Hopkins study indicated that psilocybin can help longtime smokers quit and avoid relapse.

“There’s been a renaissance of research around psilocybin,” says Armando Gudino, California policy manager for the Drug Policy Alliance, a national organization that advocates for the decriminalization of drugs. “Just in the last 10 years there’s been well over a dozen psilocybin studies that have been completed and are ongoing.”

“The arguments are certainly there in terms of the research on PTSD, depression, fighting the opioid epidemic,” Plazola adds.

Regulatory changes at the federal level have also made it easier for researchers to study mushrooms. Last October, the federal Food and Drug Administration granted psilocybin therapy for treatment-resistant depression a “Breakthrough Therapy” designation, meaning that the agency recognizes its clinical value and can help expedite future research, development and review.

So in the aftermath of political success in Denver and Oakland, activists in Oregon are emboldened and energized. To some extent, so are those in Washington, where members of the psychedelic community are beginning to reach out to officials in cities like Seattle, and Port Townsend regarding decriminalization of mushrooms.

“Attitudes are changing across the country with regard to psychedelic therapy,” says Tom Eckert, one of two chief petitioners for Oregon’s psilocybin mushroom initiative. “We would like to see psilocybin therapy made available to those who are suffering and could benefit.”

“Denver and Oakland have really paved the way,” says Gudino with the Drug Policy Alliance. “At least [in] showing us two different ways that this can be achieved.” n

‘Latest and Greatest’ What you need to know about the latest tech in vaping

BY WILSON CRISCIONE

I

f you’re looking for the most convenient way to consume cannabis, you’re most likely looking for a vape pen.

Vape pens are sleek, discreet, and don’t require any grinding, packing or baking to get a good high. In a matter of seconds, you can simply pull it out of your pocket, press a button and inhale. That explains why weed stores every year are selling more and more batteries and cartridges (which are filled with the good stuff) for vape pens.

Jake Whiteman, an assistant manager for Cinder, says customers want something that they can use on the go.

“It’s becoming a lot more popular,” he says. “These and prerolled joints, stuff like that, anything you can do while active is really strong right now.”

As vape pens become more popular, the technology keeps improving. And picking out a vape pen can feel a little bit like picking out a new phone. They all accomplish the same goal, but they all

have different features depending on what you’re using it for. Thankfully, Whiteman gave us a rundown of what’s available in the world of vaping.

The most basic batteries screw onto a cartridge, and they’re slim so they look pretty much like a pen. With these, you still have to press a button to get a draw. At Cinder, these batteries will run you about $20.

But those are far from the newest technology in vaping. Newer batteries will come with a MAGNETIC ADAPTER that connects to the cartridges. The actual battery is magnetic as well, so when you slip the cartridge inside it will stay without having to be screwed on.

Why is this important? It’s all about the AUTO-DRAW. You don’t have to press a button to get a hit. You just start inhaling and it activates. Plus, it gives off a subtle vibration that customers seem to like.

But as Whiteman notes, the batteries are a bit more expensive than the standard batteries. And you usually have to buy more expensive cartridges as well.

All of this, however, is leading up to what Whiteman says is the “newest and latest and greatest” in vape technology. That would be PAX PODS. If you buy one of their batteries, you can download an app to sync up to your phone. From your phone, you can adjust the temperature and make sure nobody else can take a hit off of it if you don’t want them to. You can also manage the vapor and flavor output.

Whiteman was skeptical of these at first because the cartridges are even more expensive for PAX. But he was won over by the fact that half-gram cartridges will last just as long as gram cartridges, since it hits so much harder and lasts longer.

“It’s about as fancy as you can find,” Whiteman says. n

Everybody Wants Some!!

School for Stoners A selection of weed-friendly college movies that will send you back to school in a blaze of glory BY NATHAN WEINBENDER

S

ummer break is always over before you’re ready. To prepare you for that dreaded trek back to your university campus, we’re suggesting some college comedies that are pretty good on their own, but would certainly benefit from a toke or two.

We’re skipping the obvious choices like Animal House, Revenge of the Nerds and Old School, focusing instead on buried treasures and cult classics. All titles are available to rent on digital platforms unless otherwise noted.

BACK TO SCHOOL (1986)

Rodney Dangerfield never landed a better star vehicle than this broad comedy, playing a wildly successful big-and-tall clothing manufacturer who, as the title suggests, re-enrolls in college well into his 60s. The twist here: It’s the same university his nerdy son is attending, and he not only becomes the big man on campus and successfully woos his literature professor but helps his kid score on the diving team.

10 GREEN ZONE QUARTERLY SUMMER 2019

EVERYBODY WANTS SOME!! (2016)

Richard Linklater channels the tone of his own cult classic Dazed and Confused, this time traveling back to 1980 to study the antics of a Texas college baseball team in the days before school starts. There’s no conventional plot to speak of; it instead takes the form of a shaggy hangout movie wherein much beer is consumed, even more weed is smoked, and very little baseball is played.

HOW HIGH (2001)

There was a time when Hollywood was positioning Method Man and Redman as the next great comedy duo, putting them not only in a short-lived sitcom on Fox and this throwback to ’80s college capers. The rappers star as slackers who smoke some magical weed that lands them at Harvard, and fish-out-of-water antics ensue. It’s probably only funny if you’re also high, but the movie obviously made a mark: A “sequel” starring Lil Yachty and DC Young Fly aired on MTV earlier this year.

ORANGE COUNTY (2002)

A clerical error gets an aspiring writer (Colin Hanks) denied from his dream college, and he sets out to correct things. This is an underrated anarchic farce, much smarter and funnier than it has any right to be. It also boasts one of the best supporting casts of any 2000s comedy: Catherine O’Hara, John Lithgow, Chevy Chase, Kevin Kline, Harold Ramis, Lily Tomlin, Ben Stiller, and a scene-stealing turn from Jack Black as Hanks’ stoner brother. Streaming on Amazon Prime.

REASONS WHY Locally-owned businesses are good for our economy They create more local jobs Local beer, wine and spirits add character to our community

REAL GENIUS (1985)

Although it flopped in theaters, Martha Coolidge’s high-tech campus comedy has since earned a well-deserved cult following. It’s set at a university for science prodigies, where a meek freshman and a mischievous junior (Val Kilmer at the top of his game) develop a laser that threatens to be turned into a military-grade weapon. A smart mix of WarGames and Animal House, and dig that ’80s fashion.

They use fresh, quality ingredients and ...

Local tastes delicious.

SCHOOL DAZE (1988)

Spike Lee’s second film, released just a year before Do the Right Thing blew him up, is a trenchant examination of campus politics at a historically black college. In between the very real discussions of race and class are obvious breaks from reality, when the characters launch headlong into colorful musical numbers. As is the case with most of Spike’s joints, it’s as lively as it is messy but is still quite relevant. n

Pesticide Pot It’s illegal to use many pesticides on marijuana — but the state isn’t yet testing it

I

BY DANIEL WALTERS

f you must consume pesticides, as a general rule, it’s better to eat them than to smoke them. Eat food covered in pesticides, and you have the liver to filter them out, and your stomach lining and intestines to help absorb them. But smoke marijuana soaked in highly toxic pesticides?

That’s almost as bad as injecting it directly into your bloodstream, argues Jeffrey Raber, co-founder of the California-based Werc Shop marijuana testing lab. A 2013 peer-reviewed study he co-authored found that nearly 70 percent of contaminates end up floating inside the marijuana smoke you’re inhaling.

And that, his team writes in the Journal of Toxicology, may “pose a significant toxicological threat in the absence of adequate regulatory frameworks.”

In Washington state, marijuana growers are banned from using most pesticides. At least, they’re supposed to be. The problem is there isn’t any actual regime for testing marijuana for pesticide levels.

“We currently do not test for pesticides, but it’s coming,” says Brian Smith, spokesman for the Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board.

It’s the consequence, he says, of being one of the pioneers in the recreational marijuana market.

Pesticides on your food is one thing. Pesticides on your pot is something different entirely.

12 GREEN ZONE QUARTERLY SUMMER 2019

“There weren’t any labs in the states that were testing for any of the stuff,” Smith says. “For testing for pesticide, you need some very expensive equipment.”

Most pesticides used for agriculture are regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, and pesticide levels in food are enforced by the Food and Drug Administration. But marijuana is still illegal at the federal level.

For now, Smith says, the state only tests products that are associated with specific complaints. And sometimes the people sending in the complaints may have an ulterior motive.

“Often, they’re from competitors,” Smith says.

In 2016, the Platinum Panda pens from Grow Op Farms in Spokane Valley were recalled for having higher than acceptable pesticide levels. There have been 12 recalls of marijuana crops since December of 2016, according to the LCB — and eight of those are just in 2019.

Pesticides in marijuana, Smith says, have been around for as long as pesticides were existing. That goes for both legal and illegal drugs. According to Business Insider, 90 percent of illegal grow farms raided in California last year contained traces of extremely toxic pesticides.

Meanwhile, other states with legal marijuana implemented

specific testing regimes. But some of those states have struggled with the scale of the challenge. A recent audit from the Oregon Secretary of State criticized the state’s testing system, noting the lack of ways to prevent growers from scamming the system by fibbing about which samples they’d submitted for testing. When Colorado’s mandatory testing regimen was introduced last year, growers grumbled about weathering the additional cost — while a coalition calling itself “#WhatsInMyWeed” complained that the tests aren’t expansive enough to detect many pesticides.

“We think it’s time to get in line with other states,” Smith says. “We think testing for pesticides would add some uniformity across the industry.”

One sector of the industry has been particularly active in pushing for mandatory testing in Washington: advocates for medical marijuana. According to the Stranger, one such advocate, John Kingsbury, wrote a letter to the LCB, arguing that the testing failures were so high that he estimated a full third of legal marijuana in the state was contaminated by illegal levels of pesticides.

There’s an irony: When it comes to pesticide controls, medical marijuana is actually more regulated than recreational marijuana. The state Department of Health requires medical marijuana to be tested for pesticides. And that’s had the impact of distorting the marketplace, Smith says.

For most marijuana retailers, it’s not worth the hassle or risk to get their marijuana tested in order to be able to legally sell medical marijuana.

“A lot of producers don’t want to go through the extra step and run the risk of failing,” Smith says.

Smith says the testing requirement is coming, but will probably have to wait until at least 2020.

“This is going to require a lot of work with the industry and the labs to prepare for this,” Smith says. “This is going to have a major business impact.” n

Under the Microscope WSU researchers study chemical differences in cannabis strains BY RILEY UTLEY

T

he names of strains often hint at their aroma or potency — Sour Diesel, White Cookies, Valley Fire, for instance — but up until now, there was not a solid scientific foundation for what makes each one unique.

That’s starting to change.

Mark Lange, a professor at the Institute of Biological Chemistry at Washington State University, and his research team have just published their research that will help develop a better understanding of different types of cannabis through analysis of their chemical makeup.

With the legalization of marijuana, it has become more important to develop a scientific understanding of what makes these products different so consumers can make informed decisions, Lange says.

“I realized that there are so many challenges in this industry and I got interested in finding out more about the things they don’t measure,” Lange says. “Then it became obvious that there are a lot of things they can’t measure and look at, and that is what sparked this project.”

Lange and his team primarily focused on measuring cannabinoids, which are groups of closely related compounds in cannabis, and terpenoids, which are a class of natural products. “[Terpenoids] are extremely diverse,” Lange says. “There’s probably 50,000 or so known terpenoids that have been isolated and characterized. Depending on their size and chemical makeup, they can be really small and volatile … and those are the ones you can smell and in this particular study are what we focused on.”

An incentive for this study was finding out how terpenoids affect different strains of cannabis. They looked at nine different ones over the course of the study: Blackberry Kush, Black Lime, Canna Tsu, Mama Thai, Valley Fire, Cherry Chem, Terple, Sour Diesel and White Cookies.

“The decision of the strains we were looking at was based off trying to capture the diversity. So, we looked at strains that are high and low in THC, strains that had CBD in them, which is something people are now starting to put in a lot of differ-

14 GREEN ZONE QUARTERLY SUMMER 2019

ent formulations, and then we also looked at some that had a purely defined origin,” Lange says. “Through this we were able to completely differentiate all the different strains.”

It took years to figure out how to do this study legally. All of the lab work had to be done without any association to WSU. This placed a huge hurdle in front of Lange and his team because everything from the physical lab all the way down to the beakers could not have anything to do with the university, forcing them to do all their experimenting externally.

In the end the project was funded by private individuals, and the lab work was done in Oregon.

However, as they worked, regulations changed and they were able to get some hands-on work done for the project through cloned DNA of the plant.

The research consisted of chemical analysis of both compound classes as well as genes and their structures, Lange says.

This analysis allowed them to look at how a plant grows and develops from seed to end product as well as how cannabinoids and terpenoids develop in the plant. In the future the hope is that this research will allow for better regulation of the plants.

Ultimately this research was able to show the chemical makeup of cannabis and will allow people to see and understand the difference in the strains they are purchasing.

“I would hope that when reading this people will agree with our outcome — that we need to put the industry on a more solid scientific foundation,” Lange says. “If you go to a dispensary and buy product, you should be confident that what the budtender is giving you is what they say it is.” n
