LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Greetings my friends,
This is truly a crazy time to be alive and part
of history. The president’s impeachment
just ended in an acquittal. It looks like
“Space Force” is going to be an actual
branch of the military and Elon Musk is
building Tesla pickup trucks that look like
stainless steel versions of the armored
mobile transport vehicle from “Aliens.”
Also, in the Miss Universe pageant in
Atlanta, Miss Canada wore a bright green
cannabis themed showgirl costume and
it became a pretty big sensation. Alyssa
Boston is her name and we’ve featured her
as this month’s special cover story, it’s The
Edibles Magazine Beauty Issue.
We recently watched “Long Shot” starring
Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron. As with
every Seth Rogen movie involving cannabis
and other recreational substances, all of
the references were spot on accurate. CBD
oil, blunts, Molly/MDMA, and more were all
referenced both correctly and believably. I
don’t know if Charlize Theron has taken
Molly before, but she’s very convincing in
the movie. She probably has. Gwyneth
Paltrow says she’s taken MDMA before
in the first episode of The Goop Lab, her
new quasi-non-fiction program on Netflix.
There’s a full review of the episode in this
issue alongside the new season of Shrill on
Hulu. Spoiler alert: Shrill is better. It would
probably be a lot more interesting to watch
a show where Gwyneth Paltrow takes
MDMA with Charlize Theron. To make it
really good they should invite Aidy Bryant
and Seth Rogen. Meanwhile in Oklahoma,
the Sooner State and my home state,
hundreds of medical marijuana supporters
descended on Oklahoma’s state Capitol in
Oklahoma City recently to warn lawmakers
not to infringe on their legal right to grow,
consume and sell cannabis. The advocates
were upset about several bills filed by state
lawmakers that would increase restrictions
on the production and consumption of
medical cannabis. Proposed bills could
potentially ban cannabis advertising on
billboards, prevent future dispensaries from
being located near churches and give cities
and towns more leeway to regulate medical
cannabis businesses. Oklahoma is a pretty
wild market right now so it’ll be incredibly
interesting to see how all of this unfolds there.
I’ll be sure to keep you updated.
The Beauty Issue also features a beauty
themed crossword puzzle, a list of the
top 7 cannabis beauty products, news,
politics and product reviews. There’s also
a new legal column for The Pot Brothers
at Law. Enjoy the Beauty Issue!
As always, smile at your budtender, tip
your delivery driver, and know your dose.
“Truth is not obliged to stick to
possibilities.”

Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange,
and has a market capitalization of $1.2
billion, as of January 2020, making it one of
the largest cannabis companies in the world.
EuroLife Brands Inc. (EURPH) has finalized

Canadian Canna Beef Stew
2 ¼ pounds cubed beef stew meat
1 onion, chopped
4 potatoes, peeled and cut into
bite-size pieces
4 carrots, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
1 turnip, peeled and cut into bite-size pieces
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup cannabis infused olive oil
1 clove garlic, chopped
2 cups beef stock
Instructions
Cut any excess fat from the beef, reserving
about 2 tablespoons of fat. Place the fat into
a large pot over low heat, and cook, stirring
occasionally, until the liquid fat renders out,
about 15 minutes. Remove and discard any
solid bits that remain. Place the beef into
the hot melted beef fat, and brown on all
sides over medium heat, stirring often, about
10 minutes. Cook until nearly all the beef
juices have evaporated and begun to brown.
Stir in the onion, and cook and stir until the
onion starts to become translucent, about 2
minutes. Stir in potatoes, carrots, and turnip,
and sprinkle on the flour in several batches,
cooking and stirring to coat the ingredients
with flour. Stir in the garlic, and cook and stir
the meat and vegetables for about 2 minutes
to remove any raw flour taste.
In a saucepan over medium-low heat, mix
the beef stock and vegetable stock together,
and heat until hot but not boiling. Pour the
stock mixture, Irish stout beer, barley, thyme,
bay leaves, salt, and pepper over the beef
and vegetables and stir to dissolve any brown

MedMen Tries To File For
Bankruptcy, But Can't, Then
CEO Adam Bierman Resigns
B. Le Grand
Multi-state operator and the epitome of
corporate cannabis, MedMen Enterprises’
hardships have become evident. Being a
public company and as large as they are,
it has become public knowledge that they
are behind on this payments to debtors and
vendors. MedMen sent out several letters at
the end of January attempting to negotiate
the debt with vendors, even offering stock as
payment.
MedMen was recently parodied on the
popular show “South Park,” where they were
portrayed as another big business company
that behaves like a jerk. Aggressively
expanding too quickly in an industry that
hasn’t worked out it’s kinks yet is part of
the larger industry woes contributing to
Medmen’s demise. The cannabis industry
continues to go through regulatory changes,
and MedMen’s biggest market, California
is suffering rather than thriving, due to
quadruple taxation, and an impenetrable
illicit market.
MedMen has engaged FTI Consulting to
manage its outstanding balances to vendors
and partners. Former MedMen CEO Adam
Bierman told CNN Business in January
prior to resigning, “We absolutely paused
on making [accounts payable] payments
as we went through the restructuring so
that, with FTI’s help, we could organize
the manner in which we were going to pay
off our … balances as is common in any
restructuring.”
In an effort to get out of the red, MedMen cut
hundreds of jobs, sold off stores and licenses
they considered non-core assets, they’re
attempting to rework financing agreements,
as well as attempting to renegotiate vendor
payment terms.
“As part of the restructuring, the company
has been actively working with its vendor
partners on modifying payment terms, which
EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
INDUSTRY NEWS
in some cases include stock consideration,”
MedMen Chief Financial Officer Zeeshan
Hyder, said in an emailed statement to
CNN Business. “Like other retailers, the
company is in constant communication with
its vendors and is working towards solutions
that are in the best interest of both parties.”
“For the most part, the product
manufacturers that we’re dealing with have
been very supportive,” Bierman said. “The
same way that we are very supportive as
adult-use programs launch and evolve on a
state by state basis — where these product
manufacturers, they’re not perfect either.”
Bierman referenced how MedMen has been
patient as product manufacturers have
had to adapt to new regulations. MedMen
and other companies, he said, are trying to
navigate industry-wide turbulence.
Morgan Paxhia, co-founder of Poseidon
Asset Management, a cannabis investment
firm said, “You can’t do that to companies;
it’ll destroy them,” adding that taking
restricted stock on the Canadian exchanges
with no likely immediate liquidity won’t
solve vendors’ near-term cash needs. “This
is not like a General Electric share.” He
said asking for such arrangements puts
pressure on smaller brands that might not
have the ability or deep resources to weather
challenging times.
Complicating matters further is that because
cannabis is still illegal on a federal level,
MedMen can’t actually file for bankruptcy
protections.
Edibles Magazine™ Issue 61
In addition to owing vendors hundreds of
thousands of dollars for months on end,
they are attempting to extend the maturity
date of a $78 million secured term loan.

before. I use a couple of CBD creams,
lots of skin products and hair products
that contain hemp. For me it was always
just a personal choice. I don’t think my
passion is represented by whether I use
it or not. People always ask, and it always
reminds me of, that ever since I was little
I’ve advocated for mental illness because
my uncle suffers from schizophrenia, so
just because I don’t suffer from a mental
illness doesn’t mean that I can’t advocate
for it. Right? That’s how I look at it. It’s
the same thing, I advocate for the greater
good. For the people who need this either
as a medical benefit or from an economic
standpoint, a benefit for our country, I think
it’s a positive thing that we are leading
the world in, right now, and that’s where
this passion came from. There’s been a
stigma that surrounded cannabis since the
1920s based off of racism pretty much, so
people, especially in an older generations,
are just under this stigma, and that’s why
I wanted to be an advocate for it, because
since I don’t use it, people who are against
it are more inclined to listen to me than
someone who is a heavy user and that
they’d just think are biased. So it’s opened
up a whole new mindset of people who see
it now as worth looking into. I know my
parents have been against it their entire
life. And ever since I’ve been doing all this
stuff, we can’t believe how open minded my
mom is now, she’s all interested in it, she’s
learned way more about it, she’s all excited
about my career in the industry so it’s come
along way because she was very against at
in the beginning.
EM: What did she think of the costume?
AB: She was really worried about me being
able to cross the border or not. Because
I live on the border of Detroit, Michigan,
right? So she’s like, “What if they think
you’re the weed girl and always have weed
on you and so you can’t cross the border?”
EM: That’s so funny. What is it any trouble
getting across the border with, the…
AB: The costume? No. We actually showed
the guys at the border and they were
laughing. We showed them all the photos
and they were like, “That’s so cool.”
EM: How long did it take to make that? And
what is it made out of?
AB: I honestly don’t know what it’s made
out of. It’s a lot of so many different things,
there’s feathers, felt pieces, cardboard, lots
of sparkles obviously, everything green. We

from Miss Universe. The designer, he’s
from Vegas and he’s done a couple of the
previous Miss Canada costumes before
and I know he did Miss Haiti as well. So
he’s pretty busy. I don’t know how many
hours it took but I know he worked really
hard on it. Neftali is his name, he lives in
Vegas and is a great costume designer.
EM: It really feels like it’s going to be one
of the most remembered costumes in
the history of the Miss Universe Pageant.
AB: I’ve heard a lot of those compliments.
It’s pretty exciting. At Miss Universe you
only have one chance. Every girl who
ever competes there can only compete
once her entire life, so we kinda wanted
to make a big impact. There’s ninety
girls, all who are deserving of the

LEGAL CORNER
Stigma of
the Stoner
Mark D. Wasserman, Esq.
If someone called me a stoner 25 years
ago, it would have offended me because
I was a law student studying my ass off
and was in no way lazy. The word stoner
automatically came with the connotation
of being lazy or a loser, or worse a lazy
loser.
Today, I wear it like a badge of honor. Gawd
damn right I’m a stoner, a successful
stoner! Over 60% of the country is in
favor of cannabis (either medicinal and/
or adult use) and the time has come to
break the stigma of the stoner.
The argument has long been made,
“my nephew smokes pot all day and is
just lazy” or “that friend of yours is a
pothead loser”. Well, I am here to tell
you that your nephew is just lazy and
happens to smoke cannabis and your
friend is a loser who happens to smoke
cannabis. It is NOT the cannabis that
makes someone lazy or unsuccessful, it
is that person and their own will, drive,
determination or lack thereof.
The Pot Brothers at Law have been at the
forefront of trying to break the stigma.
Issue 61 I Page 16 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
LEGAL CORNER
We are the only attorneys (that we are
aware of) out there on social media
openly using cannabis in all forms.
We toke joints, blunts, vapes, dabs,
bongs and use edibles, tinctures, oils
and rubs. We have been encouraging
and challenging other professionals to
come out of the green closet to further
show the world that cannabis users
come in all forms and are extremely
successful.
I know doctors, lawyers, judges,
politicians, teachers and so many
others who use cannabis but refuse to
go public. They even hide it from their
families and are afraid to speak to their
children about it. You can be certain
of one thing if you do not educate your
children at home about cannabis (and
anything for that matter) they will learn
it from Johnny and it will be a different
version of the truth.
The negative stigma continues to
interfere with a parent’s decision to
properly educate their children. Once
we can breakthrough the nonsense that
a cannabis user must be a loser and
lazy, we can get to the core fact that
most stoners are successful.
I remember when we would sneak off to
grab a few hits from a pipe, then douse
our eyes with Visine (to remove the red
eyes), pop a breath mint and spray so
much cologne that we stunk like French
whores, all in a combined effort to hide
the fact that we just toked up.
Today, my eyes are red, so what. I
smell like cannabis, so what. Usually
when I walk into a store or restaurant
I am complimented on the way I smell,
which quickly turns into a smoke sesh
outside with some new friends.

New Mexico's New
Cannabis Laws
Bishop Henry
A democratic backed bill to legalize
recreational marijuana businesses
across the state of New Mexico is going
under its first public review by lawmakers
in early Februar y. The legislative
committee will meet on the Senate floor
to discuss the bill which has received a
lot of interest because it not only would
subsidize medical marijuana but it will
also expunge past cannabis convictions.
This bill, which was written by
Democratic Senator Gerald Ortiz y Pino,
would subsidize medical cannabis for
low-income patients, expunge past pot
convictions, and would override local
governments who have been reluctant to
allow the Cannabis industry to come to
their cities. The hope is that forcing local
governments to accept new businesses
will help eliminate the cannabis black
market that currently exists.
Edibles Magazine™ Issue 61
New Mexico established its medical
marijuana program in 2007. Under this
new bill, recreational dispensaries will
need to make medical cannabis available
to those patients who qualify under
specified medical conditions. The list
of medical conditions includes: Cancer,
post-traumatic stress, and chronic pain.
18 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
This legislation is in response to rising
prices and limited availability of medical
marijuana. No states currently mandate
medical cannabis sales according to the
National Organization for the Reform of
Marijuana Laws.
Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham
signed legislation into law decriminalizing
the possession of personal use amounts of
cannabis which took effect on July 1, 2019.
New Mexico has been trying to maintain
control of the Cannabis industry. Last
year, a bill that would have involved
state-run cannabis stores won House
approval before dying on the Senate floor
without a second look. Talks began again
this year as Republicans are backing
legalization efforts.
The current initiative before the lawmakers
closely follows recommendations of a
legalization policy task force. The bill, if
passed, would reserve tax revenue from
cannabis sales for law enforcement and
public anti-intoxicated driving education.
This bill, however, goes against the task
force’s recommendation of allowing small
quantities of home grown marijuana.
Currently, any amount of home grown
weed in New Mexico carries a felony
penalty. Medical cannabis patients have
been able to cultivate weed since former
Governor Bill Richardson signed the bill
into law in April 2007.
New Mexico was the first state to ever pass
cannabis use for medical laws in 1978.
Known as the Controlled Substances
Therapeutic Research Act. It allowed the
use of cannabis for medical purposes
through an FDA approved program.

For the Pastry:
1½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup cold cannabis butter, cubed
¼ cup, cold cannabis coconut oil, cubed,

1 large egg yolk
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Filtered ice water
For the Filling:
½ cup packed light brown sugar
½ cup corn or brine rice syrup

2 tablespoons very soft butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of kosher salt
1/3 cup currants, sultana raisins,

Make the Pastry:
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt.
Use a pastry blender to cut in the canna butter
and infused coconut oil until the mixture is in
very fine crumbs. In a 1-cup measuring cup,
24 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
use a small whisk or fork to combine the
egg yolk, lemon juice and enough ice water
to come to 1/3 cup. Gradually drizzle over
the flour mixture, stirring briskly with a
fork until the pastry holds together. You
may need to add a little more ice water to
gather up the last of the dry bits. Press
into a disc, and wrap and chill until firm.
Let stand at room temperature to soften a
little before rolling.
Make the Filling:
Preheat the oven to 450°. In a medium
bowl, mix together the sugar, syrup,
egg, butter, vanilla, lemon juice and salt
until smooth. On a floured surface, roll
out pastry to a 4-inch thickness. Using
a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12
circles, rerolling scraps if necessary.
Fit into muffin cups. Divide the currants
among the pastry shells. Spoon the filling
over the currants until three-quarters full.
Bake in the bottom third of the oven for
about 12 minutes, or until filling is puffed
and bubbly and pastry is golden. Let
stand on a rack for a minute; immediately
run a metal spatula around the tarts to
loosen. Carefully slide the spatula under
the tarts and lift out to cool on a rack. The
baker gets to eat all the tarts that break
in transit, or give them as a reward to
favourite people. You can freeze them for
a month, or store them in the fridge for
up to a week. Warm the canna tarts up to

 VETERANS CORNER
Massachusetts Lawmakers
Hear the Case to Ban Pot
Billboards and Expanding
Medical Marijuana Safe
Access for Veterans
Bishop Henry
The Massachusetts Legislature’s Joint
Committee on Cannabis Policy met in January
to hear arguments on two issues: expanding
medical access for veterans and banning
cannabis related billboards. Veterans from
several branches of the military were on hand
to speak to the committee members in favor
of expanding VA benefits to include medical
cannabis. The bill to expand veteran rights
was filed by Representative Michael Soter,
a Republican from Bellingham. Lawmakers
also heard testimony on a separate bill which
was filed by Democrat Senator Diana DiZoglio.
This bill wants to prevent billboards going up
too close to where children are exposed to
their message.
Speaking in favor of expanding VA benefits
was Iraq Army Veteran, Stephen Mandile, who
appeared with his Service Dog. Mandile was
injured in 2005 and was prescribed opioids
to treat his pain. He unfortunately became
addicted and began to withdraw from his family
and even attempted suicide. Representative
Soter says the veterans in Massachusetts,
according to a Department of Social Health
Edibles Magazine™ Issue 61
Report, are three times more likely to die of
an opioid overdose, which is higher than the
National average.
According to militarytimes.com in 2015, VA
officials reported they had seen a 55 percent Shaleen Title, of the Cannabis Control
increase in opioid use disorders among Committee, told the members that the bill
veterans following combat operations in Iraq made sense and addressed concerns she’d
28 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
and Afghanistan, and in 2016, the VA treated
roughly 68,000 veterans for opioid addiction.
Between 2010 and 2016, 6,485 veterans in the
VA health care system died of opioid-related
causes.
“Cannabis helps me in ways that 57
medications that the Department of VA Affairs
had me trying.” Mandile told committee
members, “…[Marijuana] helped me achieve
healing in my mind, body, and soul.”
The bill would allow for Veterans to submit
VA disability documents in lieu of Doctor
certifications. Doctor certifications must be
renewed every year and can cost up to $150.
Medical cannabis is not taxed and is more
readily available and it comes in a greater
variety than recreational cannabis.
Ellen Taylor Brown, an Air Force veteran said
veterans were desperate for help with buying
cannabis. She said she spent an entire day
waiting in line with hundreds of other veterans
at a company that offered one-time free
medical marijuana certifications. “Everybody
says ‘thank you’ to a veteran,” Brown said.
“But you, right here, have a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity to directly impact those veterans
for the better.”
VETERANS CORNER
EDIBLES DISTRIBUTION
heard from veterans. She cited that a similar
system works in Illinois. FULFILLMENT & SALES
Opposed to the bill were medical marijuana
participants who argued that access should be
expanded for all patients, not just veterans.
Dr. Jordan Tishler, a physician who specializes in
cannabis, submitted written testimony arguing
that the bill would side-step medical supervision
and undermine veterans’ health by eliminating
important protections against potential harm
and overuse. Tishler wrote, “Any current illness
is an ongoing process subject to evolution and
development worthy of care and guidance from
medical professionals.”
The Committee on Cannabis Control also
heard arguments about a bill that was filed by
Democrat Senator Diana DiZoglio. She said
she filed the bill after hearing that a billboard
for Weedmaps was placed above a school bus
stop in Haverhill, Massachusetts. According to
DiZoglio, the billboard showed a young woman
looking for dispensaries on her phone. Current
state regulations restrict Cannabis companies
from advertising on billboards unless they
“reasonably expect” at least 85% of the intended
audience is over 21 years old. However, these
rules only apply to licensed companies, not to
websites like Weedmaps. “The intent of the
legislature was there…to make sure children
were protected from invasive advertisements,”
Senator DiZoglio said.
Hilary King, a cannabis consultant, testified
against the ban saying that the current rules are
sufficient to protect kids. King says that enacting
more restrictions on cannabis and not on other
adult businesses like lottery, tobacco, alcohol,
and strip clubs is “unjustifiable reefer-madness
stigma.” A reference to the paranoia raised by
the 1936 propaganda film “Reefer Madness”
which raised outrageous claims on the effects
of Cannabis.
The Joint Committee on Cannabis Policy did
not say when it would vote on the two bills but
if approved the measures would go before the 310.601.7299

Goop Takes Shrooms
& Shrill Does Dabs
Patrick Ian Moore
Both Gwyneth Paltrow and Aidy Bryant are about
as mainstream as you can really get these days.
Paltrow is an Academy Award winning actress
who’s known for being good at accents and
has been in almost as many Marvel Cinematic
Universe movies as Robert Downey Junior. She’s
taken seriously as a singer, is genuinely funny
and always looks comfortable doing live sketch
comedy on Saturday Night Live. They even used
to play her weird karaoke duet with Huey Lewis on
the easy listening stations. Aidy Bryant has been
on SNL for eight seasons now and has her own hit
show on Hulu. She’s doing a lot of innovative work,
breaking barriers and inspiring many people but
she’s still been on a weekly NBC-Universal show
for almost a decade. Shrill is probably too edgy for
NBC but it’s still produced by Lorne Michaels and
Warner Brothers. That’s
what actually makes it
all the more cool to see
them taking micro and
macro doses of psilocybin
magic mushrooms and
casually smoking weed
in season one. It was
the first time we even
remembered hearing
the term “microdose” or
“psilocybin” on television
at all. And psilocybin is the focus of the first episode
of The Goop Lab on Netflix. Goop, the other thing
that Gwyneth Paltrow does when she isn’t making
movies or guest hosting SNL. Goop has become
famous for making unsubstantiated health claims
and promoting pseudoscience, sort of like Doctor
Oz, except with Gwyneth Paltrow getting stung by
bees on purpose, going on a lot of cleanses and
only eating kale. They also sell expensive vagina
scented candles and keep everyone talking about
Edibles Magazine™ Issue 61
Gwyneth Paltrow.. and now Goop is a show. In
the first episode of the series, they explore the
topic of psychedelic hallucinogens as a medicinal
psychotherapy aid. It’s an interesting concept and
they investigate the subject by going to Jamaica
and tripping together with some spiritual/clinical
“experts” who guide them on their journey. It
sounds more intriguing than it is to watch. Each
person goes into an emotional rabbit hole facing
36 EdiblesList.com I EdiblesMagazine.com
past traumas and they all sort of discuss things in
what seems like a “Dianetics” style of way while
their therapists remind the viewing audience that
it’s bad to get hallucinogens on the street and take
them at parties. It was actually more interesting
watching Gwyneth Paltrow not remember she
was in Spider-Man while she was on Jon Favreau’s
cooking show making vegetarian stew. Part of the
problem might be that the Goop staff isn’t as fun to
watch as their boss. Listening to Paltrow mention
she took MDMA in Mexico once is as entertaining
as watching the rest of the staff doing shrooms
in Jamaica. That’s indicative of something
pretty specific. Not totally sure if I’ll be checking
out more episodes of The Goop Lab or not.
Speaking of fun to watch, “Shrill” is back for
a second season on
Hulu and this time they
do dabs. “Broad City”
mentioned dabbing once
but it never showed them
doing any onscreen. Shrill
goes there in the fourth
episode, “Freak”, when
Fran visits a dispensary
while on a date with
herself and later sings
a karaoke cover of
“Shallow” from A Star is Born after she wanders
into a bar eating a burrito. Fran was the character
who initially took mushrooms last season and
now she’s dabbing. The budtender uses a butane
torch and glass piece and Fran makes a crack
smoking joke in what is a very believable scene.
Some of the viewing audience might have no idea
what she's supposed to be doing. Coincidentally,
Aidy Bryant’s character Annie goes to a very
“Goop-like” conference called WAHAM, “Women
are Having a Moment”. The leader of WAHAM is
hilariously played by Vanessa Bayer. Goop kind
of seems like "Vice" but for yoga moms. Shrill
also has a character vaping from an oversized
modular battery and I'm pretty sure it's another
first. So Goop and Shrill, for better or worse, are
both mainstreaming some pretty far out stuff, just
with varying degrees of self awareness. We'll see
what this leads to.

work harder to “educate regulators about the
difficulties of doing business in states such
as California with heavy regulatory burdens
and high taxes, which leads to inflated prices
and drives consumers to seek out cheaper
products on the illicit market,” and “executives
from marijuana companies and their staffs
also might help to educate consumers about
the safety of licensed products as well as the
benefits of shopping at legal stores – such as
product safety,” with the report itself stating
“is important for manufacturers to do their
due diligence, invest in research and source
suitable materials for their products.”
Smith also said that a lot of marijuana products
are not regulated or minimally regulated at
the federal level and “in the absence of (U.S.
Food and Drug Administration) regulation,
it’s incumbent upon industry actors to ensure
they’re utilizing material that’s considered
safe for consumption.”
And with that, I urge YOU to only buy from
legal, licensed stores and DO NOT be afraid

One of the benefits of the regulation of the types of

Integral Dena, LLC Will
Be The Second Dispensary
To Open In Pasadena
Crix Lee
After being denied by the City of
Pasadena’s Planning Commission
and subsequent appeal to the City
Council in 2019, Integral Dena, LLC
was approved as the city’s second
retail cannabis storefront last
Monday in a 5-0 vote, making them
the second dispensary permitted to
open within the city.
The approval came with a handful of
drama, ranging from the company
illegally currying favor with council
members, including Integral Dena,
LLC donating $8,800 to Councilman
John Kennedy’s holiday party back
in 2018 but it was determined that
he was not required to recuse
himself from the vote as “charitable
payments made to a third-party
at an official’s request, otherwise
known as “behested payments,” do
not amount to a financial conflict of
interest,” and Integral reps meeting
with “multiple members of City
Council and City staff members.
A continued and heated debate
over property lines from anti-
cannabis proponent councilman
Tyron Hampton, cannabis company
SweetFlower Pasadena (in direct
contention with Integral Dena, LLC
over said permit), and consultant
Martin Truitt, all argued the
projected storefront location

existing residential zone," law.
After an hour, all arguments on
the matter were quickly negated by
Mayor Terry Tornek, who said “We
can keep going around and around
on this, and you’re not buying
it. This is an unusual situation.
We have a single building in a
split-zone.”
When the vote was called, two
members recusing themselves: the
aforementioned Hampton, stating
“The facts aren’t clear enough
for me,” and Councilman Steve
Madison, a partner with the law
firm Quinn Emanuel (who represent
cannabis company MedMen, one
of six companies competing for
approval to sell in Pasadena), who
followed the advice of the City
Attorney’s Office.
Before Integral Dena, LLC can pop
the champagne, they still have four
more permits to get before they can
open, with City officials being made
aware there could be a plethora of
lawsuits and appeals from both
sides. And despite it all, Integral
founder Armen Yemenidjian is
ready to fight. “It’s my job to be
nervous. If I wasn’t nervous, maybe

properly, and that’s all I strive to do.”
