Transitioning from Medical to Recreational WHAT CANNABIS RETAILERS NEED to KNOW CONTENTS
Transitioning from Medical to Recreational WHAT CANNABIS RETAILERS NEED TO KNOW CONTENTS Transitioning from Medical to Recreational 5 Understanding Seed-to-Sale Tracking 10 How to be successful in the new recreational landscape 15 2 Recreational cannabis has taken the country by storm. In just a few years, it’s gone from being an illicit substance to a recreational one, sold and regulated in a similar way to alcohol. It’s now legal to sell flower, edibles, and other cannabis products for recreational use in Alaska, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington. Soon, recreational markets will open in California, Massachusetts, Maine, and other states. Transitioning from a medical retailer to a recreational retailer presents an attractive business opportunity because of the significant increase in new customers – and revenue. Unfortunately, this isn’t a straightforward transition… CANNABIS LEGALIZATION STATUS • It can be challenging and expensive to obtain a recreational license. Medical cannabis broadly legalized • There are ever-changing regulations Cannabis legalized for recreational use you must comply with. No broad laws legalizing cannabis • And there are expenses you didn’t have to consider before. as of August 2017 At Green Bits, we’ve seen this transition happen in Alaska, Colorado, Nevada, and Oregon. We’ve been on the frontlines and helped hundreds of customers make the transition from medical to recreational. For this eBook, we talked to a host of store owners and managers who have been through the transition. We’ve learned how tough the transition can be, and which changes you’re likely to see. We’re here to prepare you as your state undergoes a market transition that will change how cannabis is bought and sold forever. -
The Myth of Medical Marijuana
DRUG FREE AUSTRALIA The ACT Medical Cannabis Conundrum Why legislate an inferior product? 1. The Greens Bill is premised on an ignorance of the currently legal status of medical cannabis 2. The Greens ‘medical’ Bill has not been requested by the medical establishment 3. The Greens Bill ignores 74% of addicted teens in Colorado sourcing cannabis from medical marijuana patients 4. The Greens Bill does not recognise that it is legislating trafficable quantities of cannabis 5. The Greens Bill, perhaps unwittingly, aligns with drug legalisation strategies worldwide 6. The Greens Bill ignores the heavily evidenced harms of crude cannabis to users and their community 7. The Greens Bill will proliferate recreational cannabis use, which most Australians condemn Central Issues & Compiled Evidence DRUG FREE AUSTRALIA Executive Summary - Seven Central Issues for ACT Legislators 1. The Greens Bill is premised on an ignorance of the currently legal status of medical cannabis ‘Medical Marijuana’, (which is a misnomer) has been legally used in Australia since the mid-1990s, when the THC capsule developed in the US called Marinol was imported into Australia under TGA Special Access for 100 patients. Marinol can be imported today under the same arrangement. Alternatively, the whole-leaf extract of cannabis, called Sativex, was approved by the Australian TGA in 2012 for MS spasticity. Both medications are pharmaceutically standardised in terms of dosage, strength and purity, which crude cannabis products are not. Both medications can be used for maladies where clinical trials have previously shown promise – nausea, AIDS wasting, chronic pain and MS spasticity. A third pharmaceutical medicine which is high in CBD, Epidiolex, is currently being tested in the US and could be tested here under similar arrangements – CBD is the element within cannabis believed to be responsible for the relief of severe seizures in epilepsy-like syndromes for some sufferers, including children. -
