Today on the show we welcome Genine Coleman!We discuss documenting the Legacy of California Cannabis.Proposition 64, the California cannabis legalization ballot initiative passed in 2016, created cannabis-specific taxes. A portion of these cannabis tax revenues are used to fund cannabis research initiatives through California's public universities. On April 25th, 2023 the California Department of Cannabis Control awarded $2.7 million dollars to a group of academic researchers, scientists, and community based organizations to develop a multidisciplinary, community-based participatory research (CBPR) study that will identify, document, and help to preserve the history, value, and diversity of California's legacy cannabis genetics and the communities that steward them.Genine Coleman is the founder and Executive Director of Origins Council, a nonprofit education, research and policy advocacy organization that serves some 800 members of California's legacy cannabis growing regions. Origins Council is dedicated to sustainable rural economic development within legacy cannabis producing regions and establishing nationally and internationally recognized, legally defensible, standards-based, geographic indication systems for cannabis. A former grower, Genine has over 20 years of cannabis cultivation experience. In 2012, she stopped cultivating cannabis to take up cannabis patient and policy advocacy. She is the co-founder of the Mendocino Appellations Project, which is now a regionally sponsored project of Origins Council, and serves on the Board of Directors for the 420 Archive which is devoted to collecting, preserving and sharing the history of cannabis culture and prohibition in the United States. Genine is also a founding board member of the Mendocino Cannabis Alliance, formed in 2019. From 2017–2020, she served on the Board of Directors of the California Growers Association.

“Here's the thing, though. If you're the kind of person who really masters things quick, and you like that challenge, then this [cannabis] space is perfect. If you really like repetitiveness, and you don't like change, then you really don't want to enter the cannabis space at all, period. Because it will change. It perpetually changes.” -  Skip MotsenbockerIn this episode, Shayda Torabi welcomes Skip Motsenbocker of Pacific Stone to paint a clearer picture of the Californian market, taxation, and regulations.

As the most profitable MSO in the combined company delivers the strongest financial. Of any MSO, absolute congratulations to Kim rivers and team over at true leave and the Steve white and team over at harvest health. This is major and I'm super pumped to see how this company continues to control its own fate.Uh, more on. And, and down the road, I'm sure we'll be talking about truly, just as much as we have been. Uh, I love this for Kim and team. I'm super excited. Rapid dose therapeutics that his doc on the CSC receives their cannabis sales license from health Canada. Okay. A little more, uh, re real estate focus news here.As of today, I, I P R that's innovative industrial properties. The only REIT that is cannabis focused on the night. Owns 75 properties in bear with me, Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington.Uh, it's funny. They released a press release and it's more than. Just reminding everybody how dominant they truly are. I, I PR coming out with a little flecks of their own today, uh, Cresco labs, C B LBF decides to exit several third-party distribution agreements to focus more on distribution of their wholly owned brands and increase their profitability profitability in California.So Cresco labs, continuing to strengthen their bottom line. They are the leading whole. Uh, company in the cannabis space, in the U S uh, looking to increase their brand awareness. Planet 13 that's PLN NHF completes the acquisition of Florida licensed for 55 million to operate it as a medical marijuana treatment center.Friends. We all know that this will not stay a medical marijuana treatment center, uh, until, I mean, as long as Florida is medicinally focused, it will. Uh, but once it does go adult use and. Uh, I would imagine this will shift toward more of their Vegas approach bank of America, securities downgrade, CGC to neutral lowers the price target to $22 Canadian.However, an interesting article on benzinga.com/cannabis. Looking at the canopy chart, they may have finally hit the bottom and could see a reversal. As many cannabis companies can not catch a break. Uh, it continues to not hit a lower, low below the 1335 level, which indicates the downward trend might be over.Now. It is Friday and I'm always excited to bring on my good friend, Aaron Thomas, to talk a little bit more about the cannabis industry as a whole and the cannabis culture as a whole. How are you doing, man? How was your week? I am doing well. What's up Elliot? What's up singer nation. Uh, happy Friday. Yeah, like I said, it's been quite the week guys, if you haven't, if you didn't know, I've been quite busy, uh, producing Benzinga healthcare conference, it was a two day event.Two tracks. Filled with a bunch of healthcare companies presenting, uh, you know, their company case, their slide decks telling us why they're a good investment option. So if you haven't seen that, check it out on Benzingers YouTube, go over there and check that out. Um, so with some news, let's get into it.Uh, let's start it off with some kind of fun news, you know, so dogs, uh, in California,Are the dogs in California. Aaron, are we sure? Hold on. I, so I might have a athlete. Just cut this out. Wait, what? I'm going to have Ashley cut this out four minutes. I kinda messed up. I'm sorry, but why don't you just intro yourself again? Okay. Yeah, we'll cut. We'll cut you out until, uh, you intro yourself again.So Aaron, what's up from that point and then whenever you start again. Yeah. Cause we can leave in the, uh, cannabis or the healthcare conference stuff and then we can go from there. Cool. Yeah. Whenever that, whatever you need. All right, here we go. All right. Let's get into some cultural news to start it off.Dogs are increasingly getting. From cannabis edibles. It, I know it's crazy. So while the excess cannabis consumption by canines is not new cases are growing as more and more states legalize the drug and it, you and you and its use, sorry, becomes more widespread. According to the American society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, the groups poison hotline suggest that more and more states have legalized directly or recreational marijuana reports of marijuana toxicity in dogs have.Grown interesting guys. So basically just lock up your lockup, your edibles, you know, make sure your marijuana is in a safe location because obviously we don't want our little guys to, you know, be in any health issue or have any health issues or any what? I mean I'm, I'm so curious. Did it go from one to three?Or like one to like 300 I'm I'm so curious. It's like, you know, I don't think edibles are just lying on the sidewalk cause people like edibles and not just going to leave white around here's the numbers. So between 2017 and 2020, the national call volume for cannabis ingestion rose from 1,436 to 3,923.All right. It also sounds like people are feeding their dogs animals. So y'all, don't do that. Let's, let's stay away from that for sure. Moving on in moreover in some, uh, federal cannabis news, uh, federal cannabis, cannabis legalization, bill approved income. So the house judiciary committee approved a bill to federally legalized marijuana.It's not yet clear if other panels will waive jurisdiction like they did last Congress, or if it has more steps to go before reaching the floor this time. Uh, we will see, I mean, whenever I hear the words, federal legalization, I mean, I think this is the second time in this, not this year, but in the past year, um, you know, I'm, I'm encouraged that we continue to see the fight for this.Um, we'll see it, but I, I think what Chuck Schumer, what Corey Booker want, uh, is a social equity bill is a. Um, a decriminalization bill is a bill to get people out of jail for non-violent, um, acts when it comes to marijuana. Um, until, I mean, ideally something like the Federalist federalisation bill would, um, federal legalization bill would include that, but we'll see if it gets passed.I don't know. I, my, my hope is tempered, but it is still. Definitely. So Schumer also said that he's had a few conversations with the white house about marijuana and that he plans to lobby president Biden heavily to drop his anti legalization stance. So we'll see, we'll see, we'll keep up with the developments there.Uh, see what's going on. Obviously we're hoping for the best here, because it would be great for the next. Yeah. So it would, uh, you know, it's interesting though, MSOE is, are fine. You know, they're, they're absolutely fine with delayed legalization, uh, so that they can continue to roll up and produce more M and a news, uh, and get more brands under their belts.The more they can roll up right now, the better for them once legalization hits. Uh, cause then there'll be able to be able to compete with large tobacco, large alcohol. Uh, other large CPG players, uh, who will come into the space. So MSLs are in no rush for federal legalization, even if they are outwardly.Right. All right. And with my last bit of some cultural news, uh, this one, I'm sure you guys will see it eventually as it'll probably reach your airwaves at some point, but $10 million of cash. 500,000 marijuana plants seized in bay. Area's largest. Bust. So in San Leandro, California, Alameda county Sheriff's detectives say an 18 month investigation has resulted in the seizure of upwards of $10 million in cash.Up to 500,000 marijuana plants, six tons of processed marijuana valued at $42 million and a cache of weapons. The bus marks the largest ever illegal growing operation in the bay area and among the largest ever in this. Sergeant Kelly said the cultivation operation was a sophisticated and the Sheriff's office says the marijuana quality was the best they have her seat.So, I mean, Hey well, if a sheriff says that it must be true. Exactly. But I will say that's a great, great, great news for the legal marijuana scene. You know, I think. Uh, earlier this year, we saw a billion dollar bust, uh, in terms of, uh, 9 billion, sorry, um, a several hundred million dollar bust for cannabis in the black market, but more busts like this create less of a black and gray market for the legal cannabis industry, which creates more opportunity.For the legal cannabis industry. So that's awesome. And I love that the Sheriff's office came out and said that this is high quality, illegal cannabis. That's fantastic. Yeah. I mean, if anything, if I was going to get, you know, rated by the Sheriff's office and they told me my marijuana was terrible. Yeah. I, I would be like, yeah, you can go ahead and take it.Nah, maybe that's how they need to do to bust illegal cannabis grows. But that's hysterical. Aaron great stuff today, man. I mean a lot of legalization news will continue to monitor that as we, as we move towards Q4 here or what is Q4 happy to for y'all? Um, I forgot it was October for a second, but. Thanks as always for listening to us another great week of cannabis daily.We had some killer news today. Congrats again, to truly even harvest health for completing their acquisition. Erin, always a pleasure. My friend, you have a wonderful weekend. I'll see you on Monday.
