California Cannabis Corridor video, hosted by Vista City Council Member, takes viewers on tour of city’s successful recreational and medical cannabis industry

VISTA, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- A new GuideMe.Tours video premieres April 15 that takes a "behind-the-doors" look at five of Vista, California's successful cannabis dispensaries and the positive impact the new industry is making in the North County town. The California Cannabis Corridor™ is an informative and heartfelt look at how dispensary community is making an impact on peoples' lives.

The film features Vista Council Member Joe Green as the host and tour guide. A trailer for the film is available today at http://CCCTheMovie.com/.

Green was elected in 2016 and championed the citizens' initiative Measure Z which was passed by Vista voters in 2018 to allow legal cannabis dispensaries. Green believes the film is an important step towards dispelling any remaining myths about the safe and legal operation of cannabis dispensaries.

"Each of our 11 dispensaries is helping to revitalize several areas of our community, and are providing safe, reliable access to medical and recreational cannabis in comfortable and friendly environments. The industry has evolved into treating everything from insomnia, PTSD and other mental health conditions to relief from aching joints and gluten intolerance," says Green.

Prior to legalizing cannabis in 2018, the City of Vista spent more than $1 million per year combatting 21 illegal retail dispensaries. "Measure Z has been 100 percent effective in removing the illegal cannabis trade from our city while becoming a tremendous community benefit contrary to sceptics' concerns," adds Green.

The city estimates the dispensaries will generate $9 million in tax revenues in the 2023-24 fiscal year which will support programs for homeless relief, health clinics, community events and new parks.

The film captures Green's passionate personality as he interviews dispensary operators from Off The Charts, Tradecraft Farms, Coastal Cannabis, Wellgreens and Hello Cannabis.

Kiosk Industry Self Service News for February 2023

DENVER, Colo. /ScoopCloud/ -- It's President's Day. And the Kiosk Manufacturer Association news centers around dispensing machines/kiosks and in particular legal cannabis and naloxone. Terrapin just deployed some extraordinary robotics for "bagging" and delivering marijuana here in Colorado. See the intro video in the post. Facial recognition, 1100 products, big touchscreen and the users get to watch thru a glass panel. We have a nice video demonstrating that.

In the naloxone news: last year (and year before) there were zero dollars budgeted by state, local and federal agencies for kiosks that dispense naloxone and also fentanyl detection strips. So far in 2023? Almost $500M.

Featured Sponsor this month is Panasonic. We published a case study on Wendy's recent POS upgrade. Along with that we also included drive-thru headsets, drive-thru whitepaper and menu boards. Of note in the Shake Shack news the big phrase over and over is "drive thru." We see where Wendy's teamed up with Doordash & Roku to let users order from their TV [link to story]. We need to get an update on the facial ordering that Wendy's Japan deployed.

Scarlet Ravin’s White Fox Medicinals Invokes Traditional Herbal Healing with Traveling Storefront Medicine Wagon

LOS OJOS, N.M. /ScoopCloud/ -- Herbal health enthusiast Scarlet Ravin has enjoyed a supportive counterculture following since the 2007 launch of her White Fox Medicinals, a CBD infused topical line of health and beauty mixtures.

When she eventually left Colorado for California, her business expanded with bottling, branding, and wider distribution. Today however, White Fox Medicinals rests nestled in the northern mountains of New Mexico, with Ravin crafting and selling her soul healing remedies via the White Fox Medicine Wagon, a traveling storefront tribute to ancient and traditional practices.

While still available online, Ravin is going against the grain and seeking to nurture her local community with hands-on service that harkens earlier times and better days.

"While most business are moving into meta space, I feel compelled to create a business module that honors healing from a heart attuned space," explains White Fox Medicinals founder and creator, Scarlet Ravin. "The 1900's style gypsy medicine wagon is my antidote to being cancelled across social media. Medicine is love from the maker and connecting to the roots from which it came. Servicing my community, in person, with a traveling store, redeems what White Fox Medicine has always been about, which is plant based, spirit infused preventative care, that honors the earth and her animals."

From CBD infused body oils and soothing skin balms to crystal enhanced bath salts and scrubs to cosmically aligned herb teas, Ravin has expanded with novel therapeutics that reflect the locally grown sage made available from her New Mexico environment. The Los Ojos Sage Soap and Miracle Balm body potion are part of her newly launched 100% natural New Mexico desert restorative offerings.

"White Fox Medicine has been able to survive the pandemic because our clientele appreciates the value of herbal alchemy as a long-term recipe for multi-layered restoration," notes Ravin. "Now more than ever, with so much of our lives compromised and sacrificed in our post pandemic world, it is important to be able to access sustenance that still vibrates with the high

frequency essence of Mother Earth. I'm extremely excited to present the White Fox Medicine Wagon as a reminder of our early curative roots and power."

Scarlet Ravin has always enjoyed a special relationship with plants. Her deep love for plants and animals led her to leave behind chemical-based products and explore alternative cures. White Fox Medicine(tm) was born and through Scarlet's spiritual insight she found herself channeling formulas and potions that her customers came to love.

The cannabis community found her CBD imbued creations to be exceptional, with rave reviews from High Times, Weedmaps and Rolling Stone. As an international best-selling author, Scarlet enjoys public speaking while she allows higher wisdom to come through her. Her newest book "Psilocybin Transmissions" is a channeled book explaining the benefits of the sacred plant.

White Fox Medicinals are packaged in biophotonic glass packaging offering unique filtering to both protect and revitalize the contents while amazingly extending the shelf life. Animal totems grace each label as another layer that harkens the remembrance of ancient rituals. Everything is 100% organic and typically made on full moon evenings under the power of prayer before bottled.

As White Fox Medicine continues its mission to educate, heal and support wellness using ingredients straight from the earth, the Medicine Wagon is an important earmark of Scarlet Ravin's commitment to spread love across the planet, one road at a time.

The Flowery Hires Executive Team That Oversaw One Plant’s Exit

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- The Flowery, a Florida-based medical marijuana company and cannabis producer, announced today four new additions to its executive leadership team: Mike Smuts as Chief Operating Officer (COO), Brian Roberts as Director of Cultivation, Harry Rosenfeld as Chief Financial Officer (CFO), and Kevin Szymanski as Director of Supply Chain and Logistics.

These four executives were formerly part of the key group that oversaw One Plant's operations and ultimate sale to Cresco Labs for 213MM in 2021. This power move by The Flowery further reinforces the company's vision and commitment to become the standard for quality products and the State's sweetheart brand.

"Mike, Brian, Harry, and Kevin are accomplished and passionate industry veterans with exceptional track records of success that will accelerate the company's growth as a quality and culture leader in the Florida market. We couldn't be happier to have them on board. We have some very big plans brewing and we are building the absolute 'A' team to execute it," said The Flowery's CEO, Elad Kohen.

"I couldn't be more stoked (or grateful) to join a team whose driving force is rooted in high grade ganja and authentic cannabis culture as The Flowery," said Mike Smuts, COO. "The market has yet to see a company that truly delivers top shelf product as well as a cohesive and authentic experience in both their digital and brick and mortar client experience. Our commitment to quality over everything, genetics with real provenance, and our exclusive partnerships with the country's top brands will make the flowery the premier cannabis destination in the sunshine state."

With over 12 years of experience in cannabis vertical operations in single and multistate markets, Mike Smuts has learned a great deal. Among his accomplishments was establishing Denver's first downtown retail locations and establishing some of Florida's first MMTCs, which are now some of the top cannabis companies in the state. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services also appointed Mike to its Medical Marijuana Committee in 2019.

Roberts, another veteran in the cannabis industry, started his journey in 2004, learning everything he could about cultivation from several mentors and popular forums at the time. Along the way, Brian developed a deep passion, experience and the required technical attention to detail required to grow world class cultivars. In 2018, Brian made the move and joined the Florida medical program.

Rosenfeld brings 36 years of forensic accounting experience to the team. He has worked for both public and private companies. He played a key role in taking Burger King and Bluma Wellness public. Szymanski brings 30+ plus years of experience, having previously worked at companies including UPS, FedEx, Coca-Cola, among others. He was also part of the team that built One Plant Florida, now Cresco Labs. Having his expertise on board will help push The Flowery's processing to a world-class level. It will also allow the company to expand its delivery operation.

About The Flowery

The Flowery is a privately-owned Medical Cannabis Company, focused on cultivating only indoor, premium quality, small-batch cannabis and exotic cultivars. The Flowery aims to set a new standard for quality products, partnered with a collection of world-renowned cult brands and a customer experience rooted in the culture and lifestyle of cannabis and Florida.

Reefer Rabble Rouser Ed ‘NJWeedman’ Forchion to Present Oral Arguments in Federal Lawsuit Against New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy

TRENTON, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- Reefer rabble rouser Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion and his longtime attorney, John Vincent Saykanic, Esq. will get another day in court to fight the green fight on Wednesday, February 23, 2022 when oral arguments are presented per his cannabis related lawsuit directed at Governor Phil Murphy (Case 3:20-cv-16582-PGS-TJB FORCHION v. MURPHY at: http://njweedman.com/Federal_Cannabis_lawsuit.pdf).

The state is once again seeking dismissal of the case. Governor Murphy, represented by the Attorney General of New Jersey Gurbir S. Grewal, initially requested the dismissal last year to no avail. Honorable Peter G. Sheridan, U.S.D.J., United States District Court for the District of New Jersey will preside.

The case sets an unheralded precedent in the ongoing battlefield for representation with legalization in the booming cannabis industry. In a 40-page document, initially filed November 19, 2020 at the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Forchion declared "unconstitutional and invalid the application and implementation of the 'Constitutional Amendment to Legalize Marijuana,'" asserting that the Regulated Cannabis Act, as the amendment is referred to in the lawsuit, "deprives him of equal protection and due process under the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution as it subjects him to selective prosecution."

In addition, Forchion noted that voters were duped into believing that they were voting to legalize marijuana, while unwittingly sanctioning a cannabis industry which only grants legalization to a majority of Caucasian owned corporate entities while criminalizing individuals of color, who in effect will not be granted similar access to grow, sale and distribute.

Fast cut to 2022 and Forchion's assertions have become quite substantial. The state of New Jersey made national headlines just recently for their limited awarding of medicinal licenses to minority contractors. To date, reportedly, only one out of 56 medicinal licenses have been granted to a partially Black owned and operated business.

Ed Forchion, along with his attorney, John Vincent Saykanic, Esq., have a zealous history of fighting and documenting the inequities in the cannabis industry. They challenged the state of New Jersey before the United States Supreme Court regarding pertinent issues pertaining to reefer, racial discrimination, and religion back in March of 2016 when Forchion's legal team filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court (US Supreme Court Docket - 15-8533). They proceeded to present ten questions for review and response from the Court per the subject of race and religion, as it relates to cannabis. The filing marked a landmark stance in the marijuana movement though the case was eventually dismissed.

"Ed has always taken a somewhat radical stance in the fight for legalization and representation in the marijuana community. A visionary of sorts, his observations have tremendous legal merit. Considering the state's longtime racial disparity in marijuana arrests which have taken an unfair toll on its minority communities, this current filing against the governor is sure to set a benchmark as all eyes are currently on New Jersey," states Saykanic.

As Forchion, who recently appeared on MSNBC's "The Cross Connection with Tiffany Cross," explains, "I've been talking about reefer, race and reparations for decades now. Finally, the media, politicians and community leaders are echoing what I have been saying all along. When I created the hashtag '#SellWeedLikeImWhite,' I was taken to task. But here we are in 2022, and the now legalized cannabis industry is run by predominantly Caucasian owned corporations who are benefitting and stepping on the backs of legacy market vendors like myself."

"In short, the community that paved the road for legalization and paid the price with incarceration and felonies, are being locked out of the 'new' industry. My lawsuit boldly addressed these issues, and we are hoping to effect change. This next opportunity for us to present oral arguments in court is a huge victory in this ongoing battle," notes Forchion.

As cited in his lawsuit, Forchion has been vehemently retaliated against in the past by the State of New Jersey. In 2002, he was jailed for advocating the legalization of marijuana. Forchion was held at the Burlington County Jail from August 19, 2002, until late January 2003 when United States District Court Federal Judge Joseph E. Irenas, U.S.D.J., hearing his civil rights suit, agreed that the state had violated Forchion's First Amendment right to advocate marijuana's legalization and ordered him to be released.

In 2016, Forchion and his former partner, Debi Madaio, had their restaurant raided by Mercer County law enforcement authorities on marijuana dealing charges. Forchion was held without bail for over 400 days due to the retaliatory charge of witness tampering. He was acquitted by a jury and all charges were dismissed with no convictions.

Media, legislature, politicians and cannabis activists and supporters worldwide are continuing to take close heed of this case as it maneuvers the smoky realms of legalization.

Dynamic Bud Duo Ed ‘NJWeedman’ Forchion and Son Announce Exclusive Yohan Marley Club Residency at The Joint of Miami

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- King "Krefiii" Forchion, son of the legendary marijuana personality, Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion, is determined to make his dad proud while uplifting the culture in the cannabis community. The young cannapreneur, under the influence of NJWeedman, has announced the exclusive club residency of Yohan Marley (grandson of Bob Marley) at The Joint of Miami.

The Joint of Miami is a trendsetting, marijuana friendly art and music lounge located in the heart of the city's popular Wynwood Art District. Yohan Marley will ignite his reggae-tinged showcases and performances starting November 25, Thanksgiving Day, with bi-weekly engagements scheduled through to March 31, 2022.

The Joint of Miami (https://thejointofmiami.com/), is located at 2010 NW Miami CT.

As the son of Stephen Marley, Yohan's musical heritage ripples with his iconic reggae lineage. A descendent of reggae royalty, Yohan Marley has successfully merged contemporary sounds with genres from dancehall, African and world music to create his own impressive discography. At The Joint of Miami, Yohan will intermingle his full range of harmonious talents with a dynamic delivery of entertainment. His residency will include "AfroTecha" events and "A Night with Yohan Marley" dates. "AfroTecha" events will see Yohan curating evenings that present renowned DJ's and artists from around the world while "A Night with Yohan Marley" will find the musician either in full concert mode or hosting performances from his special invited guests.

"It's important to bring an event like this to Miami because Miami is a very distinctive place with innumerable culturally diverse African backgrounds," explains Yohan Marley. "Afrobeat is one of the biggest musical forces in the world. As an artist and producer of this music, my mission is to showcase it and I'm very excited that The Joint of Miami shares my passion and vision. My residency will be a dedicated place where not only Afro-Caribbeans, but all people can come and experience the ultimate love vibration of Jamaican dancehall music fused with Afrobeat fused with Afro House fused with Trini Soca and so much more!"

The Joint of Miami officially opened the Fourth of July weekend. As the first cannabis consumer friendly art and music lounge in Wynwood, the location boasts the work of visual artists from across the country as well as local Miami talent featured in the venue's indoor and outdoor gallery. Nightly entertainment runs the gamut of comedy, spoken word, reggae, hip hop, jazz and even a Grateful Dead cover band. With a full bar and a 'munchie' food truck on site, the venue is set up as a haven for cannabis fueled enjoyment.

King "Krefiii" Forchion is carving an impressive niche in Miami's competitive nightlife scene. Recent club bookings have included KRS-One, Raekwon & Ghostface, Keith Murray, rap diva Rah Digga and Prince Juddah. The Breakfast Club's DJ Envy will host a special event Saturday, December 11, and a series of art related activities are being planned for the return of the international art fair, Art Basel Miami as well.

Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion is finally reaping the benefit of decades of marijuana legalization activism. After a history riddled with court cases, jail time and DEA busts, the cult cannabis celebrity has passed on the spoils of his weed war struggles to his children. While King Forchion oversees The Joint of Miami, his daughters run his NJWeedman's Joint operations in Trenton, NJ.

Forchion on the other hand is busy vetting investors for the expansion of his brand. He stays busy speaking on panels and exploring cannabis consultation and franchise opportunities with the intention of branching out to additional locations across the country.

The Joint of Miami is serving as a beautiful oasis for Miami's cannabis loving community, offering an eclectic art and music haven for connoisseurs and supporters alike. For more information about The Joint of Miami, get lit at https://thejointofmiami.com/.

America’s Crypto Church giving away 1,500 pounds of cannabis to boost membership (where legal)

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- This isn't your normal church bake sale, more like "Baked Sale." Temple420.org tries a unique membership drive method. Hoping that people would gravitate towards their message of hope in the End Times and join the organization less than 100 people subscribed to their YouTube channel. The for-profit church has yet to sell many NFTs as hoped. Now, they are trying gifting cannabis to new members.

"Our Membership NFTs are on the ETH (Ethereum) ledger, the one the SEC has already pronounced is not a security unlike XRP, so the price of ETH to the US Dollar went up so quickly that our NFT prices were crazy high and that is not because we are a cannabis church," the congregation's leader Pastor Craig X said jokingly.

"We decided to lower the cost to $100 for one of our NFTs and to add more value we're including 10 individually packed ounces of cannabis hemp with the $100 membership. The retail price is $200 on the hemp alone, plus you get an NFT, the hottest digital asset on the market, so we think joining our congregation is a great idea and a good deal! Even if you resell the NFT you keep the hemp."

There are three levels of membership for the church each that comes with a different NFT image and a higher reward of cannabis to the new member. A simple search on YouTube will show many videos of church members burning cannabis in a prayerful ceremony like Native America smudging. The church leader says he learned to use cannabis in a medicinal and spiritual way from Havasupai Elder, Roland Manakaja, featured in High Times magazine, pop culture songs, books and spiritual videos.

With only two weeks left in Temple 420's seven weeks ministry they have decided to step up their game by making their NFT offer that comes with membership include the very sacrament they are burning online. Each day the Bible class starts with a prayer and the burning of cannabis hemp. "We are on Rumble and YouTube with our online non-traditional ministry teaching people not to hate each other whether or not they smoke cannabis. Although we think cannabis helps people get along and a bong."

The Pastor goes on to describe a few of his unique sermons. For example, in one 'service' there were two people dressed in street clothes drinking watching the news, "One night Mario and I drank a beer recording ourselves with 3 camera and lights watching the news like everyday Americans, however, we stopped and pointed out how both CNN and Fox News Corp have the same top investors and those investors are paying to divide us, everyday Americans. Meanwhile, God's love doesn't distinguish between the vaccinated and unvaccinated and neither do we. God doesn't distinguish between the races. In his eyes, He created the human race and that is what we teach."

The church believes the media is being used as propaganda against the American people to divide them. Whether it is late night entertainers like John Oliver claiming that natural immunity doesn't exist or Stephen Colbert doing a song and dance with needles promoting the mandates there seems to be a myriad of examples that support their belief. "News anchors and politicians have become salespeople for the pharmaceutical industry," claims the Pastor. "In the Book of Revelation Jesus wared against people using 'pharmakea' (where the modern word pharmacy comes from) to control the masses (Rev 18:23)." The church uses humor and videos clips to make their points in their videos.

Temple 420 tries to prove that the first two seals of Revelation have been opened and to prepare their followers for the Third Seal, The Rider on the Black Horse. Temple 420 says this seal brings judgement to the world with famine and inflation. In another episode "the Cholo and the White Guy," the two Bible teachers, sans beer, explain how crypto currency has helped them to beat rising prices. They also show samples of silver and gold. The show is mix between the spiritual and the financial with Temple 420 telling their followers to prepare for the Biblical Apocalypse by diversifying their assets. Hemp is an asset followers should have because it is food, fuel, fiber, medicine and the center of a spiritual life, so the church is giving 1,500 pounds to members that join by purchasing an NFT.

Mario Perez, operations director and editor of videos for Temple 420 says, "We bought the cannabis and designed the NFTs to get people excited about joining the Temple. This crazy low price for an NFT is more than reasonable, and we think it will only rise. The most expensive NFT is $420 and comes with two pounds of premium California organic hemp and 30 minutes of Biblical counseling from Pastor Craig X."

Temple 420, cannabis sanctuary, censored on social media after Joe Rogan posts Freedom speech to Twitter

LOS ANGELES, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The only known church Joe Rogan attended as an adult suddenly experienced censorship after he posted a Freedom video to Twitter. "Joe was at the physical Temple twice before attending the very first service with Eddie Bravo and Kevin Booth," said founder Craig X Rubin. "Having only 23 followers on YouTube we didn't expect to be censored. We're not sure if it has something to do with us mentioning Joe, or just a sign of the times."

Once, 15 years ago, Temple420.org was the fastest growing religious institution in the United States, yet when they were shut down not one group stood up to defend their rights despite Rubin pleading for help. "I explained that if others wouldn't help us that eventually their churches would be shut down too, which recently happened during the pandemic. Now, it seems that Joe Rogan is one of the few voices screaming for freedom in America."

"I am proud that such a leader for freedom attended my first ever sermon," finished Rubin. "I am not saying anything that others are not saying." Yet Temple420org is being censored. "I think if you can't buy or sell without permission that is the Biblical Mark of the Beast. Watching Mark Dice videos on YouTube is scary. Why are they censoring our temple?"

In 2006, a long-time pot activist, actor and recent Jewish convert to Christianity opened America's first pro-cannabis church in the US mainland, Temple 420. It was featured in films and magazines globally. Two weeks after opening a physical location Rubin was arrested but refused to stop practicing his religion that included selling medical cannabis. The police refused to arrest him again and the judge did not revoke his bail despite Temple 420 being, "featured on the front page of the newspaper," according to the prosecutor and the newspaper he held up in court.

The landlord was threatened, "Evict the Temple or lose your property," according to Rubin, known for selling bongs to Brad Pitt. He was eventually given nearly 20 years for selling 3 grams of marijuana to an undercover police officer who was legally able to use medical marijuana. "During the two weeks we were actually legally open our church was visited by many celebrities."

Rubin hinted that Hollywood attention may have led to the church being closed, "Within the first two weeks of being open A-lister, Esai Morales, attended a wedding. Doug Benson filmed 'Super High Me.' Eva Longoria, Ahmed Ahmed, Ron Jeremy and other B-rated celebs popped in too, probably because of our location on Hollywood's Walk of Fame."

Rubin spoke about the justice system, "I had to carry papers at all times just like now with vaccine passports. Years of prison and probation, which in my opinion is a violation of the 8th Amendment. I was not allowed to mention at trial the Bible, the Constitution, medical marijuana or pretty much anything."

After receiving permission from the judge to reopen, the Temple was shut down in less than a week. All charges were dropped; however, 2 years were added to Rubin's probation. The City of Los Angeles seized the pastor's life's savings for second time and his location passed to another medical marijuana club after he had spent 6 months fixing it up.

"This time (2021) we decided to only do a 7-week online ministry hoping to not be arrested." Now, hemp is legal there is less chance of that occurring, Rubin continued, "Marijuana/hemp cannabis is legal in California, but now Christian values are being censored. Temple 420's Operations Manager had his house raided in the middle of the night under questionable circumstances. We must be saying the truth, or they would not be attacking us."

GQ magazine and others reported on the Temple before the arrest. Few media personalities mentioned Temple 420 after the arrest or trial. Glenn Beck had Craig as a guest on CNN the day he was convicted. Alex Jones had him on Infowars to discuss, "How Weed Won the West." Mancow had the Bible teacher on his show, as did Heidi and Frank to discuss, "the bust."

Greg Gutfeld poked fun of the cannabis church on Fox News after the arrest. "No one watched his show at the time," said Rubin, "but I did. It hurt when he made fun of me. I met the comedian who was a guest on Gutfeld the following week. I have been simultaneously upset with Gutfeld and wanting to be on his show ever since. You would think religious media would have covered our church, but no, only one, Brad Greenberg. Not one Christian station reached out."

"Four years ago, I was in the Mercer County Jail in New Jersey, being legally lynched and now I'm in Miami opening a new operation. Although the war is not completely won, I finally have enough winning battles under my belt that I can puff and pass in some semblance of peace. Successful businesses, my own reality show and public respect and support, these are just a few of the things I have dreamed of, and now they are here," cites Forchion. "I'm hoping pot heads, weed lovers and marijuana supporters will join me this Fourth of July weekend for what promises to be a next level experience. The plan is to keep taking this dream higher and higher."

Marijunana Home Gardens To Conduct Seminars on How to Legally Grow Marijuana in Your Home – Legal in Arizona

TEMPE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- empe, Arizona-based, Marijuana Home Gardens announces it is conducting a series of seminars to teach Arizona residents how to legally and effectively grow marijuana in their residences.

Six months after the passage of the Smart and Safe Act (Arizona Proposition 207) that now allows Arizona residents to grow and harvest marijuana for personal use, amateur gardeners are excitedly seeking resources to grow high-value plants in their homes.

For that reason, and because of a lack of existing options in the marketplace, Marijuana Home Gardens created the Outdoor Grow Hut, a marijuana grow house kit, which has substantial advantages to growing indoors. This complete kit includes premium organic super soil, seeds from a third-party partner (www.marijuanaseedconnect.com), planter pots, and a watering system.

Their Outdoor Grow Hut provides a safe, electricity-free environment to maximize plant growth and minimize all equipment and maintenance costs.

With 5 years' experience in growing medicinal marijuana plants, company founder, Dante Anthony, is conducting a series of seminars, where he will be teaching gardeners the fine art of successful growing.

"While we offer optional gardening services that can get you from seed to smoke in 90 days, we found many people are interested in applying their horticultural skills towards growing on their own." says Dante. "It is a tricky process and I get flooded with questions all the time from passionate gardeners and thought it's time to help them get on the path to a constant crop."

The first seminar is being hosted by the Sun Lakes Garden Club at the Chapel Center in Chandler (9230 E. Sun Lakes Blvd) on Tuesday, June 15th at 10 AM. Visitors are welcome to attend and may be from any city with any level of experience.

Activist and Ganjapreneur Ed ‘NJWeedman’ Forchion Promotes ‘Puff & Paint’ Cannabis Creativity at The Joint of Miami

MIAMI, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Legendary marijuana activist and ganjapreneur Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion is continuing his legacy of promoting 'puff and paint' cannabis creativity. The opening of his new marijuana lounge in Miami, The Joint of Miami in the Wynwood Art District, will be an extension of his legacy in support of 'pot art.'

The Joint of Miami, alongside NJWeedman's Joint in Trenton, NJ now both boast beautiful new outdoor wall murals painted by graffiti art master, Ayumi Chisolm aka SANOizm. In addition, NJWeedman is hosting an art themed pre-opening "Puff & Paint" event at his Miami location from May 14th, 10:00 a.m. ET to June 11th, 10:00 p.m. ET. "Puff & Paint" at The Joint of Miami is inviting artists to blaze and paint while creating artwork for the interior walls of the weed lounge! Professional artists who are looking to participate can send examples of their artwork to art director Jazz Tarver at artdirector@thejointofmiami.com for consideration and invitation details. The Joint of Miami is located at 2010 NW Miami Ct. in Miami.

NJWeedman's longstanding love for weed art dates back to his first marijuana dispensary, The Liberty Bell Temple, (see https://youtu.be/-jWnvGd-N4M ) located in Hollywood, CA. In 2008, Ayumi Chisolm aka SANOizm painted an interior canvas and mural covering the ceiling plus the front windows of that now mythical location. SANOizm (SimpleArtNiceOutlinez, StylesAllwayzNumberOne, SmokeAnotherNiceOne) is an award winning multi-disciplined urban artist originally from Cleveland, Ohio. He began doing graffiti art in 1983 and now travels the world creating community aerosol art murals, illustration and designs. His mark on now three of NJWeedman's businesses are important contributions to the culture of cannabis creativity. Sano maintains a small art studio in Chinatown, Los Angeles where he prints his brand, Thieveland T-shirts.

"It was important for me to have Sano leave his artistic impression on both my Trenton and Miami locations. I consider his imprint a blessing to my businesses. He has artistically documented my marijuana legacy in a way that words could not capture. If a picture is worth a thousand words, the spirit of his images is worth 10,000 words. I think my favorite is his mural outside of NJWeedman's Joint in Trenton. It's called "The Battle of Trenton 2" and is an accurate depiction of how I won my fight against the prosecutor's office in Trenton for unfair charges filed against me (see https://nj1015.com/nj-weedman-promises-to-give-prosecutor-legal-ass-whooping-after-major-bust.")

"It's no secret that marijuana and hip hop art are like first cousins," adds Sano, an avid partaker of the herb. "It has been an amazing journey to illustrate the story of NJWeedman with my art. I deeply appreciate his patronage over the years and am excited to have my work adorn both locations in Trenton and now in Miami, particularly in the Wynwood Art District which is famous for Art Basel and street art. Our work is sometimes overlooked and underrated in the contemporary art world but is an important component of our culture."

A cult figure in the marijuana legalization community, Forchion has since become one of the most vocal and controversial members of the pro-pot movement. He is the founder of the Legalize Marijuana Party of New Jersey and has run previous campaigns for Governor, U.S. Senate, Congress, the State Legislature, and the Burlington County Board of Freeholders. After decades of public persecution, Ed Forchion is finally being acknowledged for his decades of activism. He has spoken on virtual panels at Stockton and Princeton University, was featured on NBC News in New York and he is slated to appear on an upcoming segment of Vice TV and ABC-TV Nightline.

While NJWeedman's Joint in Trenton, NJ is a bustling marijuana themed eatery and smoke shop with his partner, Debi Madaio, The Joint of Miami is an extension of the NJWeedman brand, offering a more inclusive cannabis experience. The Joint of Miami, located in the Wynwood Art District, will be an art and music marijuana lounge with 'members only' access. Slated to open midsummer, The Joint of Miami will be a franchise operation and NJWeedman is already fielding inquires in other cities.

Ganja Pioneer Ed ‘NJWeedman’ Forchion Commemorates 4/20 with New Jersey Celebration and Miami Expansion

TRENTON, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- While "Weed Day" 4/20/21 marks a luminous occasion for longtime marijuana activist and entrepreneur, Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion, in his home state of New Jersey, per the recent legalization of cannabis, the victory is somewhat bittersweet for him. The bitter is that his current "Citizen's Dispensary" operates as a black-market operation as he continues to battle for inclusion within the legal arena.

The sweet is, not only a huge in-store and online celebration party this 4/20, but also the announcement of his expansion, with a 420-themed lounge opening soon in Miami, Florida, entitled, The Joint of Miami. Onsite festivities for this 4/20 at NJWeedman's Joint, located at 322 E. State St. in Trenton, include vendors, live entertainment and food with online streaming across all the NJWeedman's Joint social media platforms and website.

A self-confessed weed smuggler from the early 90's, Forchion's 1997 arrest by the Camden County Drug Task Force and members of the local DEA would turn out to be just one of many over several decades. Never one to back done from authority, he achieved media notoriety when he was arrested for smoking marijuana in front of the entire New Jersey State Assembly in 2000 and garnered a national platform when he fired it up at the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, PA during the Republican National Convention. It was 10 years before the launch of Instagram and smoking weed publicly was still a criminal act, but there was no social media to make such radical deeds of civil disobedience go viral. Over 20 years later however, with marijuana finally legalized in over half of the United States, Forchion knows that his consistent battles on behalf of the plant are part of the steam engine behind cannabis now being heralded as a 'new' billion-dollar industry.

A cult figure in the marijuana legalization community, Forchion has since become one of the most vocal and controversial members of the pro-pot movement. He is the founder of the Legalize Marijuana Party of New Jersey and has run previous campaigns for Governor, U.S. Senate, Congress, the State Legislature, and the Burlington County Board of Freeholders. After decades of public persecution, Ed Forchion is finally being applauded for his decades of activism. Last month he spoke on virtual panels at Stockton and Princeton University, was featured on NBC News in New York and he is slated to appear on an upcoming segment of ABC-TV Nightline.

His many marijuana infused media stunts are well documented, including his attempt to legally change his name to NJWeedman.com, denied first by the courts in New Jersey in 2004 and in another case in California in 2011. His 2010 arrest in Mount Holly New Jersey, after a traffic stop where he was charged with possession with intent to distribute, with a jury ultimately serving a 12-0 verdict of acquittal, also added to his lore. His marijuana mansion parties in the Hollywood Hills between the years of 2009 and 2011; his Liberty Bell Temple dispensaries in Hollywood and his books, including his first title, "Public Enemy #420," published in 2010 all lend credence to NJWeedman's devotion for marijuana.

Police raids, DEA investigations, and state prosecutors have hounded Forchion coast to coast from New Jersey to Los Angeles and now back in New Jersey, but he has never missed a beat. His current reincarnation is NJWeedman's Joint, opened in 2015 with the support of his business partner, Debbi Madaio. The establishment was raided in 2016 by the local police and Forchion ultimately spent 447 days behind bars, only to later have a large portion of the charges dismissed by a judge.

While NJWeedman's Joint is a bustling marijuana themed eatery and smoke shop, The Joint of Miami will be an extension of the NJWeedman brand, offering a more inclusive cannabis experience. The Joint of Miami, located in the Wynwood Art District, will be a marijuana lounge with 'members only' access. Slated to open midsummer, The Joint of Miami will be a franchise operation and NJWeedman is already fielding inquires in other cities.

"I always dreamed this day would come," expresses Forchion. "I, like so many others, knew there was nothing criminal about this plant, yet we were treated like criminals. Now that it is legalized, our battle is with the politicians and corporations who want to shut out people like me, the brick layers of this industry. I tell everyone, I'm not getting off this 'cannabus.' I've been a ride or die soldier for years now and I'm not going anywhere."

"Back in mid-2000, I left New Jersey for Hollywood, CA. I was one of the early marijuana legalization pioneers out there, until the DEA made me leave. I came back to New Jersey, I saw what was going on and I conquered. My boast is that they can't get a jury of 12 to convict me. Now I'm headed to Miami and I'm super excited about the upcoming Florida expansion with the new lounge location. In fact, I envision 'Joint' locations around the country," notes Forchion.

Marijuana Home Gardens Announces its Outdoor Grow Hut Kit is Patent Pending – Legal in Arizona

TEMPE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tempe, Arizona-based, Marijuana Home Gardens announces it has filed for a patent on its turnkey Outdoor Marijuana Grow Hut Kit (USPTO application: US 63/163,586).

The passage of the Smart and Safe Act (Arizona Proposition 207) not only made the use of recreational marijuana legal in Arizona, but also, residents are now allowed to grow and harvest for personal use up to 12 marijuana plants per household.

A craft traditionally done indoors and in secret, the new law permits Arizona residents to come out of the shadows and grow high-value marijuana plants outdoors, which has substantial advantages to growing indoors.

With 5 years of experience in growing medicinal marijuana plants, company co-founder, Dante Schettino, has established a successful track record of not only growing outdoors, but all year long during extreme weather conditions from searing heat to freezing temperatures.

"Growing outdoors is tremendously cheaper, significantly safer, easier to maintain, and will result in larger yields," says co-founder Dante Schettino. "While there are plenty of indoor grow kits available for purchase in the marketplace, nobody has created an optimal system for growing outdoors."

For that reason, Schettino and his partners set out to create the Outdoor Grow Hut, a marijuana grow house that maximizes plant growth and minimizes all equipment and maintenance costs.

The Outdoor Grow Hut's patentable design presents a secure structure with limited visibility of the inside plants, but also allows a high degree of sunshine to reach the plants and provides natural air circulation.

The roof is convertible with an open design that permits maximum sunlight exposure during prime growing seasons and can be equipped with additional seasonal tops to protect plants from intense summer sun or trap heat for fall and winter plantings.

Arizona residents can purchase a complete Outdoor Grow Hut kit that includes premium organic super soil, seeds from a third party partner ( http://www.marijuanaseedconnect.com/ ), planter pots, and a watering system.

The company will deliver and install the structure, as well as plant the first seeds. The company also offers optional service contracts where skilled marijuana growers will come to its customers' homes on a weekly basis and cultivate the plants and treat the soil to ensure a constant crop.

"Similar to a pool cleaning service, we will come to your house and do all the gardening and you just sit back and enjoy the benefits," says Schettino.

Because marijuana legalization is a national trend, the company also provides complete Outdoor Grow Hut kits, less the premium organic super soil, for easy nation-wide shipping.

Registered Nurse and Ganga Mompreneur Debi Madaio Celebrates the Legacy of NJWeedman’s Joint Eatery During Women’s History Month

TRENTON, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- If the longtime marijuana activist Ed Forchion is the NJWeedman, then his business partner, Debi Madaio, is easily Trenton New Jersey's "First Lady of Weed." As the majority owner of NJWeedman's Joint, the popular marijuana-themed eatery located in the state's capital city, Madaio is defiantly acknowledging her legacy as a heroic ganga mompreneur during Women's History Month.

A registered nurse, cannabis activist, mother to two daughters and a special needs son, Madaio is not only the driving force behind NJWeedman's Joint but also NJWeedman himself! In celebration of Women's History Month, she has expanded her business with the opening of The Stash Spot, a specialty boutique smoke shop located inside The Joint and a new 'potcast,' "Joint Accounts," closing out Women's History Month on March 29, 2021 and streaming every following Monday at 3:00 p.m. ET across The Joint's social media platforms. "Joint Accounts" will feature the latest happenings in and around NJWeedman's Joint.

The pandemic has fostered all sorts of new innovations, and for Madaio, The Stash Spot and "Joint Account" both evolved as such. While NJWeedman's Joint luckily survived the shut-in as an essential business restaurant operation, smoke shops in New Jersey had to close. Madaio had the idea to move all her smoke shop items to the restaurant and still meet the needs of her cannabis clientele. The Stash Spot is the expansion of that service. With cannabis now finally legal in the state, offering a one stop shop for food and supplies is a convenience her customers greatly appreciate. The Stash Shop carries marijuana paraphernalia like pipes, rolling papers, marijuana themed convenience items, knick knacks and clothing.

Operating a small business while working full time as a registered nurse and caring for a special needs son has been challenging, to say the least. But Madaio has witnessed and survived additional trials as well. Located just across the street from the Trenton City Hall, The Joint had been operating successfully since 2015 and was garnering national accolades for its contribution to cannabis culture. It was during Women's History Month of March 2017 when NJWeedman's Joint first came under scrutiny per an undercover operation and raid that led to Ed Forchion's arrest and incarceration. Forchion's arrest garnered him 447 days in prison, leaving Madaio not only fighting for his release, but also for the survival of their business.

"While Ed was being held for those 447 days prior to trial under the New Jersey Bail Reform Act, we had to close the business in order to secure it. I basically robbed Peter to pay Paul to make sure the rent was paid. I had made Ed a promise that I would make sure the business and the building were still there when he got out of jail! That was one of his biggest fears, that he would get out of jail and ride by the building where The Joint used to be. I couldn't and wouldn't let that happen as Mercer County had taken enough from him already," notes Madaio.

Today, NJWeedman's Joint is once again a thriving watering hole for not only Trenton but also the surrounding communities, cities and states. Customers drive in from New York and Philadelphia on any given day, or drop in when visiting from not only around the country but the world, for their delectable menu of dishes named after marijuana inspired themes and famous celebrity stoners. Meals like the "Snoop's Dream," a fish and grits dish; Willie's Chillie; the Kevin Smith Impossible Burger; the "Pothead Sandwich," fried fish with a shrimp crab relish and sriracha sauce; and the "East Coast Cannabis Coalition," a turkey meatball dinner with marinara sauce and spaghetti are all the rage.

The restaurant's ambiance, created by Madaio, mirrors an actual marijuana grow room with curtains, tablecloths and chairs designed and fashioned after marijuana leaves. There are also live outdoor music performances and show offerings which are streamed online for a wider viewing audience.

Madaio has an undergraduate degree in criminal justice as well as in nursing. While currently still working long hours, she envisions the eatery as an outlet which will provide work and income closer to home and nearer her child. NJWeedman's Joint was once called 'the happiest place on earth' by Extraction Magazine and Madaio's mission is to keep those kinds of vibes flowing. The Stash Spot, NJWeedman's Joint and her new podcast, "The Joint Account," will continue in service to keep their customer's energy high and lifted.

"I'm looking forward to one day being done with all drama," expresses Madaio. "New Jersey has finally legalized our favorite plant, but now the battle for inclusion in the cannabis industry begins. We know that small businesses and entrepreneurs are getting edged out of this new legal, burgeoning billion-dollar industry. I'm hoping that in exchange for our commitment to good service that our customers won't allow that to happen to us here."

NJWeedman's Joint is located 322 E. State St. in Trenton, NJ. Debi Madaio can be reached at flamingo2b@hotmail.com and via the NJWeedman's Joint website at https://njweedmansjoint.com/home .

Marijuana Home Gardens Now Selling Outdoor Grow House Kits – Legal in Arizona

TEMPE, Ariz. /ScoopCloud/ -- Tempe, Arizona-based, Marijuana Home Gardens announces the production and sales of turnkey Outdoor Marijuana Grow House Kits and premium gardening services for those who suffer chronic pain or like to enjoy the use of recreational marijuana.

With the passage of the Smart and Safe Act (Arizona Proposition 207), the use of recreational marijuana is not only legal in Arizona, but also, residents are allowed to grow and harvest for personal use up to 12 marijuana plants per household. With a Prop 207-compliant outdoor marijuana grow house, Arizona residents can start growing their own marijuana garden today.

With a small, up-front investment, Marijuana Gardens will construct an attractive and secure outdoor grow house with all equipment and soils needed to grow marijuana plants. Furthermore, using seeds customers obtain through a third-party provider (www.marijuanaseedconnect.com), the company will plant its customers' first harvest.

With a 6 plant grow house at the residence and employing proper cultivation, customers can expect their marijuana grow house to produce between 50 to 70 ounces of marijuana each year. Double that for 12 plants.

"With marijuana selling for upwards of $250 per ounce, our customers can save a significant amount of money growing their own," says co-founder Dante Schettino.

Marijuana Home Gardens also offers optional service contracts where skilled marijuana growers will come to its customers' homes on a weekly basis and cultivate the plants and treat the soil to ensure a constant crop.

"This isn't your mother's vegetable garden where you jam some seeds in the ground and walk away," says Shettino. "If you don't have experience in growing marijuana you are going to waste a lot of time and money, not to mention risking a complete loss."

Marijuana Home Gardens provides premium organic soil and nutrients and combines it with expertise in cultivation to maximize growth. "Using highly popular auto flower seeds, we can take you from seed to smoke in 90 days," says Schettino.

Ed ‘NJWeedman’ Forchion Wages His Own War on Drugs – Sues the State of New Jersey Over ‘Bait and Switch’ Cannabis Regulation Laws

TRENTON, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- The 'war on drugs' has just taken a wicked left turn. On Friday, November 20, 2020, one of marijuana's staunchest supporters, Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion held an online press conference at his NJWeedman's Joint location, contesting New Jersey's recent legalization of cannabis. Forchion announced his federal lawsuit against New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, accusing the state of baiting New Jersey citizens into voting for the legalization of a corporate, Caucasian run cannabis industry, under the guise of legalizing marijuana.

Forchion notes that under the current developing legislation, marijuana will still be illegal and in fact, criminalized, in underserved communities.

View Case 3:20-cv-16582-PGS-TJB FORCHION v. MURPHY at: http://njweedman.com/Federal_Cannabis_lawsuit.pdf.

In a 40 plus page document, filed at the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, Forchion seeks to have the "Court declare unconstitutional and invalid the application and implementation of the 'Constitutional Amendment to Legalize Marijuana.'" Forchion asserts that the Regulated Cannabis Act, as the amendment is referred to in the lawsuit, "deprives him of equal protection and due process under the United States Constitution and subjects him to selective prosecution."

Forchion notes that the state unfairly allows Compassionate Use Medical Marijuana Act (CUMMA) dispensaries to possess large amounts of marijuana in violation of federal law while prosecuting individuals such as himself. Forchion, a long-time marijuana activist, has had numerous marijuana related prosecutions brought against him by the State of New Jersey, including a pending matter.

In addition, Forchion proposes that voters were duped into believing that they were voting to legalize marijuana, while unwittingly sanctioning a cannabis industry which only grants legalization to a majority of Caucasian owned corporate entities while criminalizing individuals of color, who in effect will not be granted similar market access.

"This new Caucasian corporate cannabis industry is a sham," apprizes Forchion. "Politicians are in cahoots with corporations to take over and control what is now a multi-billion-dollar industry while excluding the existing marijuana market. We are witnessing systematic discrimination. Only 'regulated cannabis' which is defined as the pot sold by dealers licensed by a new bureaucracy called the Cannabis Regulatory Commission will be allowed in the marketplace. But individuals possessing and selling marijuana - such as myself, will still be in violation of the law. The community that paved the road for legalization and paid the price with incarceration and felonies, are being locked out of the 'new' industry and will continue to be locked up."

"It's the cocaine vs. crack dilemma all over again," explains Forchion, "similar to the war on drugs when prison sentences were handed down to people of color for using crack cocaine, while individuals, who were most notably white, were hardly prosecuted for using powder cocaine. Our State Attorney General Gurbir Grewal is on record stating that the new amendment does not authorize 'unregulated marijuana.' New Jersey is subtly creating a distinction between 'marijuana' for the masses versus state 'regulated cannabis' for the establishment," cites Forchion.

New Jersey has come under mounting criticism since the recent passing of legalization. Politicians, community activists and the media have taken the state to task for attempting to push through a corporatized cannabis culture that doesn't seem to best serve its constituents. Headlines have drawn attention to the state's blatant interest in profits over compassion. In fact, lawmakers' first attempt at enabling legislation has been halted amid growing criticism. The number of licenses set aside for Black and Latino communities in the bill has been widely criticized and advocates have demanded more opportunities be extended for people with criminal records for low-level drug convictions.

Forchion, whose lawsuit positions him squarely amid the ongoing conflict, is no newcomer to battle. At cited in his lawsuit, he has been vehemently retaliated against in the past by the State of New Jersey. In 2002, he was jailed for advocating the legalization of marijuana. Forchion was held at the Burlington County Jail from August 19, 2002 until late January 2003 when United States District Court Federal Judge Joseph E. Irenas, U.S.D.J., hearing his civil rights suit, agreed that the state had violated Forchion's First Amendment right to advocate marijuana's legalization and ordered him released.

In 2016, Forchion and his partner, Debi Madaio, had their restaurant raided by Mercer County law enforcement authorities on marijuana dealing charges. Forchion was held without bail for over 400 days due to the retaliatory charge of witness tampering. He was acquitted by a jury and all charges were dismissed with no convictions.

Registered Nurse and Marijuana Mom Debi Madaio Launches Change.org Petition Requesting New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy Grant a Recreational Cannabis License to Her NJWeedman’s Joint Eatery

TRENTON, N.J. /ScoopCloud/ -- On Election Day, November 3, 2020, New Jersey became yet another state to legalize marijuana. With big corporate cannabis companies already moving to secure an edge in this new market, one small shop owner is hoping to make her voice heard and secure her piece of the pot pie. Debi Madaio, is the co-owner of NJWeedman's Joint, a popular marijuana-themed eatery, located in Trenton, N.J., across the street from Trenton City Hall.

Madaio has launched a Change.org petition, urging Governor Phil Murphy to grant her small business a recreational license so that she and her family will have inclusion in New Jersey's newly legalized marijuana industry. Madaio is a registered nurse, medical marijuana patient, activist and a mother to two daughters and a special needs son.

Her petition, "Demand Governor Phil Murphy Grant NJWeedman's Joint a Recreational Cannabis License!" can be signed at https://www.change.org/p/phil-murphy-demand-gov-phil-murphy-grant-njweedman-s-joint-a-recreational-cannabis-license .

With Senators Troy Singleton (D-Burlington) and Shirley Turner (D-Mercer) issuing a statement calling for amendments that would give women and minority business owners greater access to capital and allocate 25 percent of recreational cannabis sales tax revenue to 'impact zones,' Madaio is hoping to be seen and heard.

The current marijuana bill includes language assuring only 30 percent of new dispensary, processing and cultivation licenses go to entities controlled by women, minorities or disabled veterans. With a 70 percent windfall left to conglomerate corporate entities, basically many entrepreneurs like her will still be left behind.

NJWeedman's Joint has serviced Trenton, NJ and surrounding communities for five years now. The internationally heralded eatery offers great food, live entertainment and a safe environment to partake in the intake of cannabis. The restaurant's ambiance, created by Madaio, mirrors an actual marijuana grow room with curtains, tablecloths and chairs designed and fashioned after marijuana leaves. The business has been able to survive the pandemic due to delivery and take out servicing and their live outdoor music performances and shows are now also streamed online for a wider viewing audience.

State lawmakers are exploring legislation to help set up the parameters for the marijuana marketplace, and a new state commission, Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC), has been set to start creating regulations for the new industry.

"My partner and I have been early innovators here in New Jersey. We both knew this day would come and held steadfast with that vision. Yet we have been publicly vilified, terrorized and even raided for offering a compassionate refuge for pot lovers! Now that cannabis is finally being legalized, we are facing a new fight. Businesses like mine are in desperate danger of being overlooked by faulty legislation and overrun by political and corporate figures who plan to capitalize on this billion-dollar industry, leaving forerunners like us in the dust. So far, New Jersey does not have a tangible plan in place for small entrepreneurs like me and others," expresses Madaio.

"As the mom of a special needs son, I have sacrificed a lot to see this day," adds Madaio. "It's just not fair that corporate entities will be allowed to swoop in and benefit off of our blood, sweat and tears. Governor Phil Murphy is promising inclusion for the underserved. I want to make sure he fulfills his promise."

While marijuana continues to blossom as one the nation's fastest growing industries, Madaio has emerged as a compelling female figure in the expanding battle to legalize it. As the feminine force behind outspoken and controversial marijuana activist Ed "NJWeedman" Forchion, Madaio is typically not in the public eye. While Forchion has garnered international headlines for his aggressive activism in the fight for legalization, Madaio works full time as a registered nurse, balancing her time between overseeing NJWeedman's Joint and caring for the special needs of her son. While currently working long hours, she has always envisioned the eatery as an outlet which could provide work and income closer to home and nearer her youngest child.

NJWeedman's Joint is located 322 E. State St. in Trenton, N.J. Debi Madaio can be reached at flamingo2b@gmail.com and via the NJWeedman's Joint website at https://njweedmansjoint.com/home .

Super Bowl Champion Jeron Johnson has signed on as an Ambassador for CBD Move Free

BELLEVUE, Wash. /ScoopCloud/ -- Former Seahawk strong safety and Super Bowl XLVIII Champion Jeron Johnson has signed on as an Ambassador for CBD Move Free (https://cbdmovefree.com), a Washington State-based CBD company. "It is an honor to have Jeron onboard," states Jonas Roeser, CEO. "We look forward to his insight and support for our product refinement and educational outreach."

Johnson's backing is born of his personal experience. "Whether I am nursing an injury or preventing one," he says, "the Move Free products deliver for me. I have played for five NFL teams throughout my NFL career and have tried a number of products to soothe my injuries. And I have yet to come across an over-the-counter product that provides the reliable relief of the CBD Move Free products."

CBD Move Free's products consist of three CBD topical balms (of varying strength) that soothe pain; and a hemp-infused hand sanitizer. Each balm product is composed of full-spectrum CBD derived from hemp, and a number of other key ingredients. The three balms are delivered in roll-on containers and applied right on the skin. The three strengths are 500mg CBD, 1000mg CBD and a combo product featuring 500mg CBD and 150mg CBG (cannabigerol), an emerging ingredient related to CBD. Each balm product relaxes muscles and nerve cells, stimulates circulation, soothes pain, and eases inflammation -- while moisturizing the skin. The fourth product, a lemongrass hand sanitizer, is infused with 100mg of full spectrum hemp, under the brand Hemp Move Free.

Summarizing the company's mission, Roeser says, "Our aim was to create unique products that help you and your family move, enjoy, and achieve more."

Using the products couldn't be simpler, Roeser says. "To eliminate bacteria and moisturize your skin, our hand sanitizer is amazing; and to relieve tension, soreness, and inflammation, just apply one of our balms to targeted areas.

"Our company is partnered with our manufacturer and only uses third-party testing facilities to ensure top quality," Roeser continues. "Our products are sold in hundreds of locations nationwide. These range from doctors, drug stores, gyms and health and beauty stores, to premier golf clubs, and tennis facilities. Our products are also available through our website."

New Isolator XXX™ Column Delivers Increased SFC Purification Efficiency

PITTSBURGH, Pa. /ScoopCloud/ -- Thar Process Inc., global leader in the design and manufacture of advanced technologies for the extraction and purification of natural products, announces a new Isolator XXX(TM) phase for hemp/cannabis extract purification by supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC).

The Isolator(TM) series of column media (stationary phases) are specifically engineered for hemp/cannabis purification to allow Thar's customers to remediate their extracts from unwanted compounds such as pesticides/fungicides or THC; they work best when run on Isolator SFC(TM) series systems.

The novel Isolator XXX(TM) is a bonded silica-based stationary phase available in 10, 15 and 20 um sizes allowing for greater polar retention through a useful range of interaction mechanisms. Thar's Isolator SFC(TM) systems utilize dynamic axial compression (DAC) columns to allow for simple pack/re-packing of material - which allows users to switch applications daily if necessary.

Learn more: http://tharprocess.com/co2-extraction-and-purification-solutions/#IsolatorSFC

"We developed the Isolator XXX phase to help customers who were struggling with retention time variability, inadequate column lifetimes, long run times, and low retention of highly non-polar compounds like cannabinoids," explained Lalit Chordia, PhD., CEO of Thar Process. "With these new phases specifically designed for the interaction between hemp extract moving through a column in CO2 with only 2% ethanol as a co-solvent - we can dramatically reduce the operating costs associated with making compliant and non-detectable Broad Spectrum CBD oils."

To ensure high reproducibility, each Thar Isolator XXX(TM) column and batch is certified by a stringent QC process comparing both analytical and DAC columns from the same batch. This ensures the applicability of this new media for commonly used types of detection such as UV-VIS, ELSD and MS. In addition to the selectivity and particle performance benefits, a simplified set of running conditions was developed for use with the Isolator XXX(TM) system - allowing for universal training and support for customers around the world. Thar's new Isolator SFC(TM) customers can be found on 3 continents only 6 months after launching the Beta systems. The systems purify up to 3 kgs/day of extracts. Thar Process intends to publish significant data on the isolation of minor cannabinoids and other non-hemp natural product extracts in the coming months.

GV Apothecary Kicks Off the Holiday Season with a Donation Drive and Opening of their Second Location

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- GV Apothecary, a harm reduction and alternative wellness retailer, has announced that they will be opening their second location is as many months on Friday, November 29 at 1870 Altamont Avenue in Rotterdam.

GV Apothecary is a one of a kind alternative wellness and harm reduction retailer. They offer a wide range of third-party lab tested CBD products, hemp flower, kratom and tobacco harm reduction tools. They source their products from some of the most reputable farms and manufacturers in the world.

This is the second retail location that owner and founder, Mike Kruger has re-branded from the chain of GottaVape e-cigarette stores, which have been staples in the area since 2013. The re-brand is a merging of the two businesses Kruger owns and operates, and the change comes in the midst of Governor Andrew Cuomo's attack on the vapor industry.

"Although the circumstances of the transition aren't ideal, we are very excited to be offering a large variety of alternative wellness and harm reduction products all in one place," said Kruger, who also owns Eu4ia CBD, a local CBD product manufacturer. "At GottaVape we have been giving the community an alternative to tobacco that is at least 95% safer and we offer a wonderful, natural alternative to traditional medicine at Eu4ia. I am excited to be offering both product lines at the same place."

The first GV Apothecary was opened at 1321 Erie Blvd in Schenectady on October 24th of this year. Due to the overwhelming positive feedback he has received, Kruger has decided to move quickly opening their second location. "Our current customers are receiving the change very positively and we have seen several new faces over the past month that love our product line," said Kruger.

Both retail locations are kicking off the holiday shopping season with their annual donation drive. This year they are working with Street Soldiers 3 in Schenectady. GV Apothecary is taking donations Black Friday through the holiday season and they offer a discount to anyone who makes a donation. A list of items they are looking to collect can be found on their Facebook page.

GV Apothecary will be offering huge discounts at both locations throughout Black Friday and Small Business Saturday, along with raffles, giveaways, education sessions and refreshments.

Kruger is excited about everything GV Apothecary is celebrating this weekend: "We have a lot to celebrate this weekend. We are launching our new Rotterdam location, kicking off our donation drive for a great community organization, Street Soldiers 3, and we are starting the holiday season. I hope everyone comes by to drop off a donation that will go to great use and to check out our new model and learn about what we are doing with GV Apothecary."

Licensed Massage Therapist, Angelina Carlino will be at the 1870 Altamont Avenue location on Small Business Saturday from 10am-1pm offering chair massages.

GV Apothecary is currently open at 1321 Erie Blvd in Schenectady, Monday through Friday 11-7 and Saturday 10-5.

Hemp+Ville CBD Launches Franchise Opportunities at the CBD Expo November 14-16, 2019 in Orlando, FL

ORLANDO, Fla. /ScoopCloud/ -- Founded by Tony Barragan, Hemp+Ville CBD takes a different approach to the CBD Oil store. By focusing on health and wellness, Hemp+Ville CBD has become a leader in the Oxford, MS market as the destination for consultative, health-focused CBD Oil solution.

Hemp+Ville joins the CBD Expo November 14-16 in Orlando, Florida to announce their brand to interested franchise investors.

"I have witnessed first-hand the destruction that opiates have had on people's lives. My goal is to offer franchise opportunities to people who are as passionate about helping people as I am," offers Tony Barragan, founder of Hemp+Ville CBD.

Tony opened his first Hemp+Ville CBD store in Oxford, Mississippi in February 2019 after being introduced to the benefits of CBD Oil by a close friend who suffered from longstanding pain. Since then, Tony made it his life mission to break people's dependency on big pharma and to introduce the life-changing effects of CBD Oil. Based on the success of the Oxford Store, a second location has opened in South Haven, Mississippi and Hemp+Ville CBD is now offering franchise opportunities.

To grow through franchising, Tony sought the expertise of a recognized leader in franchising, the Franchise Innovation Group. Today, the Hemp+Ville CBD franchise system is positioned to help like-minded owners to grow and thrive by providing a seven-volume operations manual, a multi-phased franchisee training program, and a dedicated support team.

"When we build franchise systems, we are actually creating a business in a box with a support team at your side," explains John Batcheller, President & CEO of Franchise Innovation Group.

Georgetown Hemp Subscribes to ‘Seed to Sale’ Model

ROCKVILLE, Md. /ScoopCloud/ -- The CBD industry is exploding and with that surge comes a host of consumer questions and concerns about the safety and efficacy of products. That's where Georgetown Hemp comes in. On November 17 from noon to 6 p.m., it's hosting a grand opening of its new store at 11607 Nebel Street. People are encouraged to visit to find out what makes its business different.

CNN recently reported that 66 percent of CBD products found on shelves are labeled inaccurately. For example, if you have two CBD products that each boast 400 mg, the potency and clean factor of each could be wildly different. Not all CBD products are created equal. The quality of the product has to do with the environment in which it was grown and how it was grown. All Georgetown Hemp products are organically grown and processed.

Georgetown Hemp has traveled around the world to meet with farmers and receives first-hand, factual information about the products it sells. It places a high value on research and education.

"We understand that finding the right CBD product to fit an individual's need can be overwhelming, that's why we created a business model that's both customer-centric and industry focused," Daniel Simmonds, owner, Georgetown Hemp says.

Georgetown Hemp staff is a group of self-proclaimed "compliance geeks."

"We're experts in the industry and our main priority is product security and safety. sales flow naturally," Simmonds says. "We offer the 'Georgetown Hemp Seal of Approval' to ensure trustworthiness in the stores to where we distribute."

The company has a strict protocol vetting manufacturers and ensuring quality is followed from seed to sale. All products are tracked from seed to store by batch numbers and random batch testing is performed. Quality is always a priority.

The grand opening will have a host of people on hand to field questions and share information. They'll include farmers, an organic chemist, testing lab, manufacturer, co-packer, doctors, acupuncturists and more.

The end analysis is that when people purchase CBD from Georgetown Hemp, they're not only getting an exceptional product, but also great reassurance.

EPIC Launches Cannabis Site Pollution Liability (CSPL) Insurance Program

ALPHARETTA, Ga. /ScoopCloud/ -- Greyling Insurance Brokerage & Risk Consulting (Greyling), a division of EPIC Insurance Brokers & Consultants (EPIC), today announced the first nationwide Site Pollution Liability Insurance Program for the emerging cannabis industry.

Available in states where cannabis is legal for recreational and medical use, the new EPIC program is designed to provide coverage for a material gap in Commercial General Liability and Umbrella/Excess Liability policies for the cannabis industry, as these policies exclude losses resulting from pollution/pollutants on, at, under, or emanating from an insured location.

The EPIC/Greyling Cannabis Site Pollution Liability (CSPL) insurance program protects growers, processors and retail dispensaries from claims alleging third party bodily injury and property damage liability claims as well as corrective action costs (investigation/cleanup costs) at or from an insured site. The program is competitively priced, with minimum premiums for annual policies as low as $4,000.

Cannabis growers are exposed to pollution liability claims resulting from fertilizers and other chemicals used in the growing process (indoors or outdoors). Cannabis processors commonly use chemicals like ethanol to produce oils and concentrates and to extract CBD from the product and face exposure from these operations, as well.

Retail dispensaries face pollution exposure from building heating/cooling systems, building maintenance and other operations, and are increasingly required to provide evidence of pollution liability coverage to landlords. The EPIC/Greyling CSPL program is designed to provide valuable protection to all of these operations.

Key features of the program include:
* Automatic Additional Insured where required by written contract (e.g. lease of premises)
* Automatic Waiver of Subrogation
* Corrective Action Costs include those recommended by an Environmental Professional
* Coverage included for civil fines, penalties or assessments arising out of a Pollution Condition where allowable by law
* Natural Resource Damages included in definition of Property Damage
* Mitigation (emergency) Expense coverage for costs incurred within 7 days of a Pollution Incident
* Terrorism coverage automatically included
* Defense Expenses for third party bodily injury/ property damage liability claims and for corrective action costs
* Illicit abandonment included in definition of Pollution Incident
* Manuscript Cannabis endorsement with broad definition of cannabis products
* Low deductibles (starting at $5,000 each pollution incident)
* Fast quote turnaround
* Simple binding/policy issuance process
* Open to retail and wholesale agents and brokers.

GV Apothecary Announces the Launch of Their New Retail Model, Re-Branding a Former Schenectady Vape Shop

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. /ScoopCloud/ -- GV Apothecary, a harm reduction and alternative wellness retailer, has announced that their new retail concept is set to open on Thursday, October 24 at 11 a.m. at 1321 Erie Blvd in Schenectady. The unique storefront will feature a variety of CBD and hemp-based products, and other harm reduction and alternative wellness products.

It is the first retail location of its kind in Schenectady and will be located in a former vape shop that was also owned and operated by Mike Kruger, the owner of GV Apothecary. The change in business model comes as a result of Governor Andrew Cuomo's recent executive action to ban the sale of flavored e-liquid products in New York State.

"This is a model we have been considering for some time now," said Kruger, who is also the President of Eu4ia CBD, a local CBD product manufacturer. "We have been established in the local e-cigarette market for six years and we have been successful in helping our customers improve their lives through quitting smoking tobacco. We are dedicated to them and we are going to do what is necessary to continue to serve our loyal customers."

GottaVape was founded in 2013 in Schenectady County and was the first stand-alone retail outlet in the Capital District dedicated to e-cigarette products.

Kruger is enthusiastic about the opening of GV Apothecary: "We are very proud of this concept and we are extremely excited to bring both of our businesses together to offer the public a variety of wellness and harm reduction products under one roof."

GV Apothecary will be open for business Monday through Saturday. For more information about the October 24 launch, please contact Mike Kruger at 518-346-0500 or mike@gvapothecary.com.
