United Beyond Cannabis United Beyond Cannabis June is Pride Month, a time to commemorate members of the LGBTQ+ community for their efforts and sacrifices for constantly pushing for progress in the face of adversity. At the Apothecarium, we believe that it is our duty to be an ally to members of the LGBTQ+ community. Cannabis has been an aid for members of the LGBTQ+ long before it has been medically legal. Our goal is to help all patients, regardless of their beliefs and orientations, to help them find the best solutions for their ailments.

The Apothecarium is excited to have our flagship location now open in Maplewood, New Jersey. Banana Daddy Indica New Grand Daddy Purp x Banana Hammock R1 Like its name suggests, Banana Daddy packs a sweet banana berry flavor that’s accented by a touch of spicy bubblegum and diesel. Kind Tree The aroma takes a heavier turn, with deep diesel and sweet fruity berries all wrapped up with a spicy overtone. Strains Giraffe Berries Hybrid This impressive and rare strain features heavily frosted buds and with plentiful red hairs. Flavorful and earthy, Giraffe Berries is a great combination of balanced effects and enjoyable aromas. MK Ultra Indica G13 Haze x OG Kush Pheno MK Ultra is a “heavy” Indica cannabis strain. It is named after Project MK Ultra – the CIA conducted mind manipulating experiments on civilians and government officials during the 1950’s.

Not all cannabis products give that psychoactive feeling often associated with cannabis. Various products such as localized topicals do not have psychoactive effects. Additionally, CBD can counteract the psychoactive effects THC can potentially Patient FAQ produce. Lastly, THC consumed at a patient’s therapeutic level can produce medical benefits but These are some of the more common questions no psychoactive feeling. we get from experienced patients: I feel like cannabis makes me lazy and slow. ? Is that true? Millions of patients each day use cannabis to help them. Each person has various reactions to consuming cannabis based on their unique endocannabinoid system. Therefore, it is not fair to assume that effects of cannabis are the same for each person. Can you overdose on cannabis? It is impossible to overdose on cannabis. However, it is possible to overmedicate on cannabis. Overmedicating is when a patient consumes too much cannabis for their therapeutic level. Symptoms of overmedicating are anxiety, confusion, and perspiration. Thus, it’s always critical to track your dosage and take it slow to start.

It takes practice and won’t be perfect right away. Here’s our step-by-step guide on how to roll a joint. 1. Grind up your cannabis. What You Need: 2. Create a filter. The filter goes at the end of the joint. Its purpose is to improve airflow, stops the grinded up cannabis from being inhaled and Cannabis helps avoid burning your fingers. The Apothecarium sells filters, but if A grinder you don’t have them on hand, an index card is a good substitute. Fold the Papers filter in a zig zag pattern for several folds and then roll up the rest of the Filters (index card would suffice) paper. The filter should be around 1cm long. Place the filter at the end of the joint. Be sure to have the sticky/adhesive side of the paper facing you. This part will be used to fully seal the joint later. 3. Fill the joint with cannabis. With the grinded up flower, begin to sprinkle into the joint paper. Around 0.5g of cannabis is a good starting point. 4. Roll the joint. Pinch the papers into a taco shape and then move your fingers back and forth to start forming the cannabis into a shape of a cylinder. 5. Seal the joint. Once the cannabis starts to get packed into the cylinder shape, you can then seal the joint. Tuck the non-adhesive side of the paper on top of the compacted flower and begin to roll it towards the adhesive side. Lick the adhesive side and pin it to the non-adhesive side. 6. Seal the open end of the joint. With a pencil or something with a point, lightly pack the open end (non-filter end) of the joint and twist the top of the joint to seal off the joint so flower doesn’t fall out. Congratulations! You have now rolled a joint. Cooking with KINDNESS Sour Cream and Onion Nachos (via Bong Appetit) What You’ll Need: Directions: - 3 tbs of butter 1. Combine the butter and onions.

INTRODUcTION The initiative process, a product of the Progressive and Populist reform efforts,1 is so attractive in theory that it seems almost unholy to challenge its continuing vitality. Conceived as a way to circumvent a legislature under the control of monied interests and the railroads, the initiative process demonstrated the Progressive ideology that the people needed a vehicle to "directly battle against the corporations' organized interests and influential lobbyists."' While the theoretical underpinnings of the initiative process may be attractive, the reality of the initiative process, in its evolvement, is singularly unattractive.

  • Statement of Eric M. Goepel Founder, Veterans Cannabis Coalition Before the United States House of Reprsentatives Committee on Small Business
    STATEMENT OF ERIC M. GOEPEL FOUNDER, VETERANS CANNABIS COALITION BEFORE THE UNITED STATES HOUSE OF REPRSENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON SMALL BUSINESS “UNLOCKING POTENTIAL: SMALL BUSINESS IN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY” WASHINGTON, D.C. JUNE 19, 2019 Veterans Cannabis Coalition 1405 S Fern St. #478, Arlington, VA 22202 www.veteranscannacoalition.org Chairman Velazquez, Ranking Member Chabot, and Members of the House Committee on Small Business, The Veterans Cannabis Coalition would like to thank you for the opportunity to address the Committee on veterans and cannabis issues currently under consideration. We would especially like to thank the Committee for its foresight in tackling some of the many issues that have arisen as citizens grapple with the conflict between federal and state laws regarding cannabis. Introduction The Veterans Cannabis Coalition works to end federal cannabis prohibition and drive research and development of cannabis-based medications through the Department of Veterans Affairs. We help to organize and facilitate the work of other veteran advocates, we educate the public and elected officials about cannabis and veterans policy and research, and we advocate for specific solutions. I co-founded VCC with a fellow Iraq War veteran and advocate, Bill Ferguson. We live in a community that has been wracked by suicide and overdose for years and we saw the disconnect between what people said was working for them, what the healthcare system was giving them, flawed federal law that criminalized people for self-care, and Congressional priorities.

  • Appendices Appendix A: Types of Democracies
    APPENDICES APPENDIX A: TYPES OF DEMOCRaCIES Advocacy Democracy Robert Dahl (1970: 149) once suggested that every elected official should have a citizens’ advisory council, members of which would be chosen by lot. A similar proposal for citizens’ advisory commissions has been spelled out in more detail (Dalton, Bürklin, Drummond 2001, Dalton, Scarrow, Cain 2003: 10–11) in order to forge advocacy democracy, which would broaden what now exists at the local level when citizens are notified of hearings regarding housing developments in their neighborhoods and then attend to give their views before planning commissions. Anticipatory Democracy As coined by Alvin Toffler inFuture Shock (1970), the idea is for policy-making based on credible predictions that are accepted by the public (cf. Bezold 1978). The public should accept expert forecasts while voting, but there is no procedural innovation involved beyond having more public education and more public input. Cellular Democracy Neighborhood councils were set up in American cit- ies during the 1970s so that small communities in big cities could deter- mine policies for each part of town. With that concept in mind, the idea arose to divide a country into districts of about 500 persons, and then ten to twenty districts would form a level 2 council and so forth up to the state level (Foldvary 2002). Such a scheme was favored by Thomas Jefferson, who proposed having small wards as the ideal democratic unit (cf. Young 1996). Some proponents believe that cellular democracy could be the foundation for global democracy. © The Author(s) 2019 317 M.

  • During the Darkest Days of AIDS, Cannabis Was Often the Only Respite a World AIDS Day Special Feature Article by Betsy Pisik for WM Policy ​ ​
    “We were dying and marijuana was all we had.” During the Darkest Days of AIDS, Cannabis was Often the Only Respite A World AIDS Day Special Feature Article by Betsy Pisik for WM Policy ​ ​ Mention “the 1980s” to most anyone and their recollection might range from the New Right to MTV. The decade introduced us to England’s Lady Diana Spencer and her transformation into a global icon, ET, Madonna, Roseanne, the Cosby Family, the Carrington Dynasty and yuppies. Marked by consumerism, materialism and conservatism, the decade was epitomized by the presidency of Ronald Reagan. The 1980s also came to be known for the mysterious disease targetting healthy gay men with surgical precision. The AIDS epidemic officially began on July 3, 1981, when the New York Times ​ reported on a “Rare Cancer Seen in 41 Homosexuals.” (The New York Native, an oLGBTQ weekly ​ ​ publication reported on this mysterious medical issue in May, making it the first news media outlet to cover AIDS.) Around the same time in California, post-hippie interest in cannabis as medicine was emerging in earnest, laying the groundwork for the Golden State to become, decades later, the capital of the legal cannabis industry. San Francisco became Ground Zero for both. The City on the Bay, particularly the Castro, a formerly working class neighborhood in Eureka Valley, had became a haven for Gay men. And the city’s eclectic counter culture vibe--reflected in neighborhoods like Haight-Ashbury, the Mission and North Beach--were known to be more than “cannabis friendly.” A “Gay Cancer” and a Plant In “gayborhoods” like the Castro, as well as Christopher Street in New York City, Chicago’s BoysTown and DuPont Circle in the nation’s capital among others, panic set in.
