Marijuana Legalization On The East Coast: 50 Million People Creating Tax Revenue

When it was announced that the state of Colorado had topped $1 billion in cannabis sales for the year of 2016, it gave credence to the fact that Americans not only support marijuana legalization, but really enjoy consuming it as well. The news also settled the nerves of potential industry investors.

With uncertainty swirling around the Trump administration’s plans of how it will deal with the fledgling industry, it seems foolish for the Justice Department to hamper its ascendancy by prosecuting businesses that are sanctioned in “legal” states. Furthermore, Colorado generated $200 million in tax revenue in 2016. Meddling with that kind of money, which is already earmarked for education, figures to be tremendously unpopular with politicians. A billion dollars is a staggering figure. But let’s examine some other eye-opening population stats.

Tourism, of course, is responsible for a large portion of cannabis sales in Colorado; the state’s population stands at just under six million residents. The three most populous states which have enacted legal, adult recreational cannabis use are California, Oregon and Washington. California has about 39 million residents, Oregon has approximately four million and just over seven million people live in the state of Washington. So, in time, these states can expect similar results.

But these population figures are dwarfed by the untapped eastern US. Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland and Virginia make up the Northeast megalopolis, which boasts over 50 million residents.

The Northeast, in particular, represents a marketplace that can hardly be fathomed. In New York, Governor Andrew Cuomo still maintains that cannabis is a “gateway drug,” and, due to his Presidential aspirations, has firmly voiced his opposition to recreational use. (New York allows medical use, but its program is highly restrictive).


The states of New England are in the top ten of the highest number of cannabis users per capita in the nation, outdistancing the rate of use in California. But while the states that allow legal use have worked assiduously to create a workable system of commerce, the eastern US States have been resistant, even when medical laws have passed.

In Maine, voters passed recreational cannabis narrowly in November, but the measure still faces opposition from lawmakers. In fact, Maine Gov. Paul LePage has even remarked that voters “did not know what they were voting on.” The legislature has nine months to create a program for cannabis sales, but legislators are trying to delay implementation.

Massachusetts also passed recreational cannabis in 2016. Shops won’t open until 2018, but some lawmakers are seeking a tax rate above 37 percent—higher than Washington’s current rate—which critics believe would strengthen the black market for cannabis.

New Hampshire, with 70 percent of state residents in favor of changing marijuana laws, is looking closely at decriminalization. Currently in Vermont, a bill has been introduced that would legalize possession of up to 2 ounces or less and allow for the cultivation of up to two mature marijuana plants, and seven immature plants. But those arrested by police with more than specified amounts would still be subject to prosecution. Rhode Island is trying for the seventh time to pass recreational marijuana. It doesn’t want to lose ground to neighboring Massachusetts, where Rhode Island residents can travel over the border easily to purchase cannabis. Connecticut is also looking to legalize though passage is facing formidable opposition. But with the state facing a $1.7 billion projected budget deficit, the idea of regulating and taxing cannabis is gaining momentum.

The Northeast is arguably the most liberal-minded region of America. All of the states in the Northeastern Megalopolis supported Clinton, not Trump. Still, being a liberal doesn’t necessarily translate to rational views regarding cannabis—especially among lawmakers.

Better Than Nutella: Homemade Chocolate Nut Spread With Marijuana

Despite being raised with a fair bit of Southern European influence, I never tried Nutella until my late childhood. Once I did, I was hooked. When I grew into adulthood and it became acceptable to admit to eating it by the spoonful, I rejoiced.

These days I don’t keep it around because of how dangerous it is for any semblance of healthy living, but boy is it fun to have when you’ve had a few puffs of something good. Spiking the world’s favorite flavors with weed gives me as much glee as a heaping tablespoon of creamy cocoa spread, so let’s dive into the specifics!

Making a nut spread from scratch is a task for only those with the proper hardware. A Vitamix is a little out of my price range, but there’s two ways you can hack this at home, and save a bit of excess washing up after. Choose between powdered peanut butter for a less-caloric choice or a store bought nut butter to skip the most labor intensive and messy part of the affair. Either way you’re adding the same things to make it chocolate and lifting, and if you have the mechanical chops to make homemade nut butter, go for it!

Homemade Chocolate Nut Spread

Danielle Guercio 2016

Yield: 12oz prepared butter, estimated 7-8mg THC per tablespoon

  • 1 cup nut butter or peanut butter powder
  • 1 oz cannabis infused coconut oil*
  • ¼ c powdered sugar
  • ¼ c cocoa powder

If you’re using peanut butter powder, it’s had the fat completely removed. This means you can control how much oil you want to use to get it spreadable again, and can omit some of the sugar if you want to get even more healthy.

Simply mix dry ingredients and drizzle in the coconut oil. Then stir until completely mixed, it’s that simple. Pretty cool huh? You may need to add more oil, which can be either infused or not depending on your feels.

Mix the dry ingredients well so that they are ready to get saturated with the nut butter and cannabis oil.

If you’re using nut butters, In a microwave safe container, soften the nut butter in short bursts, don’t overheat. Combine with dry ingredients and cannabis oil. Store in clean jars up to a week in the fridge, 3 months in the freezer.

*Cannabis Infused Coconut Oil

Decarboxylate 3.5g of finely ground cannabis at 225 degrees for 20 minutes in a tightly sealed, oven safe container.

Put cannabis in lidded mason jar or vacuum sealed bag with cannabis and four ounces of coconut oil. Heat in water bath just under boiling for at least 1 hour. Strain and chill to use in recipes.

Spread on toast, croissants, pancakes, or any sweets, it will brighten up your morning and your afternoon too. Having a spoonful in coffee or on ice cream is also a dreamy way to medicate.

This nut butter also makes an excellent base for other baked goods like cookies and cakes, using nut butters can also help you use less shortening or butter for a slightly lighter version of your fav.

The Quality Of Government Marijuana Is So Bad It’s Hindering Research

The Quality Of Government Marijuana Is So Bad It’s Hindering Research

Before the scientific community can truly begin to examine the medicinal benefits of the marijuana, the federal government is going to need to step up its cultivation skills and provide researchers with government marijuana that doesn’t look like a pile of lawn clippings.

Earlier this week, Dr. Sue Sisley with the Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies (MAPS) posted a series of photos of the marijuana given to her by Uncle Sam to study the effects of cannabis medicine on veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Based on appearances alone, the weed is not even remotely similar to the commercial marijuana being sold in dispensaries across the nation – it’s pale and full of stems.

In fact, Dr. Sisley recently told PBS News Hour that the government’s so-called research cannabis, which is produced at the DEA’s only licensed cultivation facility at the University of Mississippi, might not actually be marijuana by today’s standards.

“It didn’t resemble cannabis. It didn’t smell like cannabis,” she said.

Pot experts, like Jake Browne, a cannabis critic for The Denver Post says the weed provided by the federal government for scientific purposes is “flat out, not a usable form of cannabis.”

“In two decades of smoking weed, I’ve never seen anything that looks like that,” Browne told the Washington Post. “People typically smoke the flower of the plant, but here you can clearly see stems and leaves in there as well, parts that should be discarded. Inhaling that would be like eating an apple, including the seeds inside it and the branch it grew on.”

Although the government claims the marijuana its grows under the supervision of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) comes with around 13 percent THC, laboratory testing by Dr. Sisley’s crew determined the herb really only contains around 8 percent – comparable to the pot being sold on the black market in the 1970s.

To put this into perspective, the average THC content of the marijuana sold in retail pot shops in places like Colorado is around 19 percent, with the higher end strains sometimes reaching more than 30 percent.

Because of this, researchers say the government’s weed is not a high enough quality to use in medical testing. Furthermore, the federal herb is not tested for dangerous molds and yeasts that can cause people to suffer serious, even life-threatening illnesses.

“There’s no telling how many subjects in past studies were exposed,” Sisley told PBS.

However, the federal government recently suggested that the quality issue was on the verge of an improvement.

“There has been some emerging interest from the research community for a wider variety of marijuana and marijuana products. … NIDA does plan on growing some additional marijuana this year and harvest some high THC material that will likely be above 13 percent THC,” a spokesperson for NIDA told the Post in an emailed statement.

Gossip: Kendall Jenner Betrayed By Friends; Selena Gomez Explains Her Addiction

Selena Gomez Explains Why She Needed to Go to Rehab

Last summer, Selena Gomez canceled more than 30 dates on her “Revival Tour” to seek treatment for her struggles with anxiety, panic attacks and depression stemming from her battle with Lupus. Now, she’s finally ready to explain why she chose to check into rehab.

In the her latest cover story for Vogue, the “It Ain’t Me” singer opens up about her mental health. Getting candid about her personal life, she reveals that — despite her legions of fans and having the most-followed account on Instagram — her “self-esteem was shot” last year.

“Tours are a really lonely place for me,” she shares. “I was depressed, anxious. I started to have panic attacks right before getting onstage, or right after leaving the stage. Basically I felt I wasn’t good enough, wasn’t capable. I felt I wasn’t giving my fans anything, and they could see it—which, I think, was a complete distortion.”

“At concerts I used to make the entire crowd raise up their pinkies and make a pinky promise never to allow anybody to make them feel that they weren’t good enough. Suddenly I have kids smoking and drinking at my shows, people in their 20s, 30s, and I’m looking into their eyes, and I don’t know what to say. I couldn’t say, ‘Everybody, let’s pinky-promise that you’re beautiful!’ It doesn’t work that way, and I know it because I’m dealing with the same sh*t they’re dealing with,” she continues, “What I wanted to say is that life is so stressful, and I get the desire to just escape it. But I wasn’t figuring my own stuff out, so I felt I had no wisdom to share. And so maybe I thought everybody out there was thinking, This is a waste of time.”

In August 2016, Gomez announced she was taking a hiatus to focus on her well-being. Soon after shuttering her tour, the 24-year-old admitted herself into a treatment facility outside of Nashville — where she gave up social media, surrendered her phone and underwent individual, group and equine therapy for 90 days.

These days, the former Disney Channel star continues to lay low, living out of an Airbnb somewhere in the Valley outside of Los Angeles.

“I think seventeen people have my phone number right now,” she admits. “Maybe two are famous.”

In fact, Gomez has even deleted Instagram off her phone. Though she’s still the most-followed person on the photo-sharing platform, she’s handed over the reigns to her assistant, who is the only person who knows the password to the account.

“As soon as I became the most followed person on Instagram, I sort of freaked out,” she admits. “It had become so consuming to me. It’s what I woke up to and went to sleep to. I was an addict, and it felt like I was seeing things I didn’t want to see, like it was putting things in my head that I didn’t want to care about. I always end up feeling like sh*t when I look at Instagram. Which is why I’m kind of under the radar, ghosting it a bit.”

As for her budding romance with The Weeknd, Gomez shares that she’s learning from her past relationships and keeping her mouth shut about her current boyfriend. She says, “Look, I love what I do, and I’m aware of how lucky I am, but—how can I say this without sounding weird? I just really can’t wait for people to forget about me.”

Kendall Jenner’s Home Burglarized, $200,000 in Jewelry Stolen

Kendall Jenner is the latest victim in a string of celebrities (Derek Fisher, Nicki Minaj, Nick Young) to have their homes burglarized.

According to TMZ, Kendall had more than $200,000 in jewelry stolen from her home on Wednesday.

Per TMZ:

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ, Kendall left her Hollywood Hills home Wednesday around noon and returned around 8 PM. We’re told she was hanging around the house for several hours, and noticed nothing amiss … that is, until she went into her bedroom just after 1 AM and realized some of her jewelry was missing. She called the cops, who responded quickly.

Our sources say there was no sign of forced entry, and so far no suspects.

Celebrity home burglaries are definitely on the rise in Los Angeles.

As it turns out, the theft wasn’t a random burglary — but an inside job.

Our law enforcement sources tell us what really went down. They say Kendall was having a party with a bunch of friends Wednesday night. At some point in the evening she heard an alarm warning that someone opened a door, but she thought nothing of it.

We’re told Kendall left at midnight, leaving her friends in the house. When she came back just after 1 AM she discovered her jewelry box was open, and that’s when she called the cops.

Our sources say there was absolutely no sign of forced entry and they are certain the thief knew exactly where Kendall kept her bling.

Puppies And Weed: Here’s Why Patrick Stewart Is Our Favorite Person Ever

Aside from being the man behind so many of our favorite characters — Professor X, Captain Picard, and next up, the Poop Emoji — Patrick Stewart is also a true treasure of a human.

He recently made public that he’s a regular user of medical marijuana, as we previously reported, using a cannabis spray to treat pain his hands. Before that, he was winning our hearts with charming anecdotes about his foreskin.

Now he’s blowing our minds on a whole new level. Meet Ginger, a pit bull Stewart is foster-caring for until the pups finds a new home. Or at least until Stewart falls so head over heels with this dog that he adopts her, himself.

He wrote on his first video of welcoming Ginger home one week ago: “Thanks to @ASPCA and @WagsandWalks, @madameozell and I are finally fostering our 1st pitbull! Meet Ginger. I’m in LOVE. #AdoptDontShop”

Since then, it’s been a non-stop lovefest. Watching these two together, you can really feel the chemistry:

Will he have the heart to hand this love machine over to a new owner someday? Or will Beef Stew and Ginger stay together forever? Only time and a ton more amazing social media posts of the two will tell.

Science Proves That Marijuana Users Are Cooler Than Drunks

Science Proves That Marijuana Users Are Cooler Than Drunks

We all know the stereotype of the belligerent drunk and of the peace-hugging, artistically inclined stoner. But it took a recent double-blind, placebo-controlled, within-subject trial to bestow on that perception the imprimatur of science. Turns out that marijuana users are cooler. We knew that.

Related Story: Can Marijuana Help Alcoholics Stop Drinking For Good?

The trial, conducted by researchers in the Netherlands and published in the July 2016 issue of Psychopharmacology, was simplicity itself: First, scientists assembled a task force of heavy drinkers and inveterate stoners. Next, they randomly intoxicated half the group with their drug of choice (i.e. booze or weed), and exposed them to a series of aggro-inducing activities—namely matching a list of words to violent images and playing a computer game with options for defensive and offensive play. A third group—the control—performed the same tasks, but didn’t get to take any drugs. Afterward, researchers reviewed the data and asked the subjects to rate how aggressive they felt.

In all cases, the subjects were more riled up, both in feeling and in action, at the end of the test. However, the drinkers as a group were more aggressive than the control, and the stoners less so.

It turns out that sometimes there are reasons that stereotypes become stereotypes.

Despite Anti-Marijuana Rhetoric, Jeff Sessions Isn’t Changing Anything

Despite Anti-Marijuana Rhetoric, Jeff Sessions Isn’t Changing Anything

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions created a lot of buzz on Wednesday by claiming marijuana use is “only slightly less awful” than heroin addiction. And yes, that statement defies scientific research and is clearly at odds with the Drug Enforcement Administration’s own understanding of cannabis.

But what didn’t capture many headlines or generate social media buzz was his comment about the Obama-era’s guidance regarding federal interference in state-sanctioned marijuana legalization laws:

“The Cole Memorandum set up some policies under President Obama’s Department of Justice about how cases should be selected in those states and what would be appropriate for federal prosecution, much of which I think is valid. I may have some different ideas myself in addition to that, but essentially we’re not able to go into a state and pick up the work that the police and sheriffs have been doing for decades.”

Sessions added that he “may have some different ideas myself in addition to that” but said that the Justice Department does not have the money, time or resources to assume enforcement responsibilities of marijuana prohibition. “We’re not able to go into a state and pick up the work that the police and sheriffs have been doing for decades,” he said.

So is Sessions speaking out of both sides of his mouth? What, exactly, does marijuana legalization stand in the Trump Administration?

The answer is nobody knows. And if somebody claims to know, they’re lying to you. But it is important to cling to facts instead of attempting to read the tea leaves or focusing on the trial balloons constantly being floated.

It is obvious that Sessions is vehemently opposed to legalizing marijuana and would prefer regressing back to an older era. In his speech Wednesday he also tossed in this antiquated notion:

 “We need to say as Nancy Reagan said, ‘Just Say No.’ Don’t do it!

Clearly, Americans have moved on from that kind of drug policy. Can Sessions take us back to the Reagan-era drug war days? It is possible. But as of now, there is no policy change.

What Is The Cole Memo?

On August 29, 2013, the Department of Justice published a memorandum which described a new set of priorities for federal prosecutors operating in states which had legalized the medical or other adult use of marijuana. The memorandum was published by James Cole, then the U.S. deputy attorney general. The memo directed prosecutors and law enforcement to focus their priorities on these eight areas:

  • Prevent distribution of marijuana to minors
  • Prevent marijuana revenue from funding criminal enterprises, gangs or cartels
  • Prevent marijuana from moving out of states where it is legal
  • Prevent use of state-legal marijuana sales as a cover for illegal activity
  • Prevent violence and use of firearms in growing or distributing marijuana
  • Prevent drugged driving or exacerbation of other adverse public health consequences associated with marijuana use
  • Prevent growing marijuana on public lands
  • Prevent marijuana possession or use on federal property

Sessions appeared to reaffirm that these priorities are ‘valid’ and that he has no immediate plans to scrap the guidelines.

Get Happy-Go-Lucky With This Cannabis Infused Irish Soda Bread

Get Happy-Go-Lucky With This Cannabis Infused Irish Soda Bread

Memories of Irish Soda Bread on St.Patrick’s Day were very basic. I remember a raisin stuffed gloppity gloop, and like most breads, I just wanted the crust. Soda bread gets busy from using regular old Baking Soda, very obvious connection. Soda driven bakes are known as quick breads, and are much more simple to put together than yeast breads. Irish Soda Bread comes from the daily bread making habits of the Irish home. This bread is fast to make, and tastes great enough to eat fast too.

Though I could throw everything in my bread machine and call it a day, since mine has a yeast-free setting, I’m not super into the shape it produces. As a throwback to the original preparation of the stuff, in a cast iron skillet on a wood stove or in a hearth, I finally got myself one of these cast iron jams. I think living with roommates was always a deterrent, these pans can’t be treated like any ol’ teflon jam.

The baking temperature is a little high on this recipe, so it’s normally dicey to put cannabis in there. But the upside to slightly overbaked edibles is a CBN high, which is a bit sleepier and more couch-locking. That makes this a great day off, sick day, snow day, or insomnia treat.

If you want to preserve the THC, first know you won’t be losing all of it, just enough to notice the slowdown. You can bake it at a lower temp (it will take forever), toss the whole thing inside an oven bag, or just spread the cannabutter on a weedless loaf after baking. I’m ok with a little CBN on a binge-TV day, so I’m rolling the dice on some of the lesser-desired cannabinoids.

Well Done Irish Soda Bread

Inspired by Stella Parks at Serious Eats and PBS bingeing

  • 3.5mg THC per slice, 2mg CBN(estimated)
  • 3 cups white flour
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 1 ½ tsp salt
  • Pinch of sugar
  • 2 Tbs cannabutter *
  • 1 1/4 tsp Baking Soda
Photos by Danielle Guercio

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl, either sift or incorporate well with a fork. Melt butter gently and stir into buttermilk, whip well to incorporate fully, you don’t want the oil to hit the flour by itself like with pastry.

Photos by Danielle Guercio

Add the wet ingredients into the dry, pouring in a drizzle while you fold into the flour. Keep mixing until the flour is all hydrated, stop there for best finished texture. The dough will be wet, sticky, springy, and you want to act fast so that the chemical reaction from the soda happens in the oven, not on the counter.

Photos by Danielle Guercio

Line a cast iron skillet with something non stick, scoop the dough into the skillet, no need to shape other than making a big cross to allow air to escape. Its recommended to wipe the knife in between cuts, I would say wipe the knife four times, two was not enough to get a clean cut, but since this is a very rustic bread, there’s really no need to overthink it.

Photos by Danielle Guercio

Bake for 45-58 minutes depending on your oven. I rotated a few times. This will get very deep brown, so if you don’t want things to get too crispy, cover for the first 20 minutes or turn the oven down for the last 15.


Photos by Danielle Guercio

Allow to cool for 15 minutes at the bare minimum, if you can stand it. Like most breads, the longer you let it cool the better it will taste, slice, and behave. I thought my loaf was too burnt but it sliced beautifully and tasted like restaurant bread. It’s really hard to get that char on yeast breads without taking it too far.

Photos by Danielle Guercio

*Cannabutter

Decarboxylate 3.5g of finely ground cannabis at 225 degrees for 20 minutes in a tightly sealed, oven safe container. Put cannabis in lidded mason jar or vacuum sealed bag with cannabis and one stick of butter. Heat in water bath just under boiling for at least 1 hour. Strain and chill to use in recipes.

Photos by Danielle Guercio

This was so easy to create that I felt like I literally slapped it together. The alkaline flavors light up your mouth like a good pretzel or bagel, and with a good scoop of Irish butter (unsalted!) you’ve got yourself a gourmet treat in one third of the time it takes to make a baguette or even basic white bread. Making it on the lighter side in strength means you can eat as much as you want, perfect for snacking all day on your next TV marathon.
