Brian Blanel ead Cultivator ‘Brian Blanchard was born in Paterson, New Jersey on October 27, 1950. He resides at He is a graduate of Mountain Lakes High School and atten 10 1972. Brian has been active in the title insurance industry for over 35 years and is currently a freelance insurance underwriter. However, his true passion has always been gardening. After a lifetime of hobby gardening and four (4) years of research, Brian and his wife embarked on a hydroponic project three (3) years ago. That project is known as “Arthur & Friends” and is now a program of North West New Jersey Community Action Program (NORWESCAP). Arthur & Friends operates under two different not-for-profit corporations. Brian played an instrumental role in securing Arthur & Friends’ community support and grant opportunities which enables the group to be successfulGreenleaf Compassion Center Brian oversees three greenhouses for Arthur & Friends, each of which grows leafy green produce. He single handedly designed and built each hydroponic system. In order to satisfy demand for local produce, Arthur & Friends operates all year on a “production line” model Every week, they seed into and harvest from each of the greenhouses, Two of the greenhouses are staffed by disabled adults and the third is a "prisoner re-entry program” staffed by ex- offenders. Arthur & Friends operates hydroponic systems for several reasons. Growing without dirt avoids issues of soil bor insects and pathogens. Regular monitoring insures constant nutrient and ph levels yielding consistent high quality produce. The controlled environment allows growth at a greater density than "dirt farming’ (thus taking maximum advantage of available light). Hydroponic systems lend themselves to "production line” models where seasonal variations of light and temperature can be overcome. The unchanging aspects of the growing system allow the ability to clearly sce the effect of any innovations introduced providing an excellent experimental backdrop. As Lead Cultivator, Brian will be responsible for designing, building, and operating GCC’s grow operation. His firsthand skill with agricultural practices, coupled with his non-profit business experience, make Brian a considerable asset to the GCC team.

Criterion 4 Measure 1: GCC will fully comply with healthcare patient record privacy standards by never releasing any personal data that could lead to the identification of an individual patient. GCC believes one of the biggest deficiencies in the industry isa lack of relevant, comprehensive information about the actual operation of a medical marijuana business. GCC intends to address, this deficiency by integrating all aspects of business operations under a single, user-friendly ‘computer management system. GCC has researched a number of companies in the industry that have designed software systems exclusively for the medical marijuana industry and found only aa? that has a reliable and technologically forward-thinking HIPAA compliant point of sale (POS) system that meets our high standards. More information EE GCC will maintain a unified and biometrically secure HIPAA compliant registry of medical ‘marijuana patients, Measure 2: GCC will provide each patient with a variety of source material (samples of which are provided below) regarding the various methods of ingestion (vaporizer, smoking, eating, tincture, tea and marijuana compress) of medical marijuana accompanied by any validated research studies on the health effects of each. These materials may include a take home DVD, printed information and brochures as well as direct training and consultation from GCC staff, ‘The DVD will also be available for viewing on site. GCC will also compile list of outside individuals and entities that provide similar instruction and will offer counseling on these topics by psychologists if the patient requests it during our registration questioning. All opinions regarding health side effects of ingesting medical marijuana will be presented so that the patient can make an informed decision. A comprehensive listing of web sites covering these topics will bbe made available to patients and caregivers alike. GCC endorses active participation in advocacy, public policy-making and social promotion of the medical marijuana movement. GCC wil establish a patient advocacy resource center to ‘enable patients and family members to gain more knowledge of medical marijuana and provide advocacy tools to help promote public awareness of the benefits of medical marijuana. GCC will also provide an on-site reading library, which will offer free educational literature on ‘medical marijuana, pain and stress management and holistic approaches to health and wellness. GCC will consult research studies by such recognized authors as Raphael Mechoulam, PhD-- the father of our modem understanding of the nervous system and cannabinoids system—and many of his successors to develop an easy to understand approach to explaining the effects of THC and other cannabinoids on the body. GCC will also provide education materials and will create an awareness program regarding drug abuse and addiction and how to find help and support for drug addiction (e.g., calling 1-800-662- HELP to reach a free referral helpline from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration). 2reenleaf Compassion Center 1 Sample Education Material USING MARIJUANA MEDICINALLY We hope you find this information useful and of benefit. Please feel free to contact us with your feedback; it may be useful to another patient. When using medical marijuana, every individual will experience different effects, just as is tue ‘with any medication. Temper your use and consider marijuana another medicine that may serve to alleviate some of your symptoms and may enhance other aspects. How it works for you and the manner in which itis of benefit is what is important. Tell your doctor that you use medical marijuana and make sure this fact is entered into your medical records. Patient/Physician Confidentiality and HIPAA are your safeguards. | Smoking Marijuana ‘The most expedient method of using medical marijuana is to smoke or vaporize. The effects are ‘more controllable and easier to gauge in these forms. Always smoke the female buds and only use medicine that is organically grown and free of molds, chemicals, pesticides, and additives. If} {you use a water pipe (or any pipe), keep it clean by soaking it in alcohol and salt. If inhaling [smoke is a concern, use a vaporizer. Moderation appears to be a key to successful relief. Use a small amount at first, 1-3 puffs, wait before inhaling more, Onset is fairly quick and can happen instantly to 5 minutes. Wait then use more if necessary to achieve desired relief. Ingesting Marijuana | Another method of using medical marijuana is ingestion, which can be an effective approach. However, cooking marijuana produces a significantly stronger effect. Use caution when you eat! It can be baked directly into foods or made into butter that is used to prepare foods. You must be aware that it takes considerably longer to experience the effects. Ingesting marijuana may cause uneasiness, which might lead to nausea, Another feeling may be of weight or heaviness, or ethaps even grogginess. It is appropriate to allow time to rest in order to assess how you will respond. Use cold water or slow breathing if this occurs. Don't panic. Just relax and it will end Remember that every batch of baked goods will vary with the potency of the marijuana that is used and how it is prepared. Care should be taken to provide the appropriate dosage as effects |can extend up to six hours. Proper arrangements should be made to insure an appropriate patient ‘environment throughout the full six hours Suggested amount of marijuana for medicinal use per person: Weight of Person [Amount of Marijuana per Person’ Under 125 pounds [1/6 teaspoon 126 to 180 pounds 1/4 teaspoon [181 to 225 pounds [1 teaspoon 226 to 280 pounds 172 teaspoon 294+ pounds [Tlevel teaspoon. 23Greenleaf Compassion Center ‘Teas: Preparation and Use ‘Teas can be made from water. Since the useful properties contained in marijuana are oil soluble, is preferable to use a liquid that contains some fat or oil (milk, soy milk, sced oil, nut oil, or | rice milk), although hot water will have some mild effectiveness. Let the tea steep for 1-2 hours | land add a tsp. of butter. The effects might be strong so begin by leaving the leaf in for a short | period of time, increasing as needed. i Tinctures | To prepare a tincture, use five (5) parts fresh marijuana to one (1) part vodka. If you are using dried marijuana, as is usually the case, use ten (10) parts marijuana to one (1) part vodka. An easy way to do this if you don't have measuring equipment, is to fill whatever container you are sing (glass is preferable as you don't want to leech any residues from metal containers) two | thirds full with marijuana, then fill the container with vodka and let stand for a week or more. Afterward, strain the solution. If you use a larger portion of marijuana, the resulting tincture will be more potent. | Using as a Compress | | Make the preparation as you would tea made with water, or the tincture made with vodka. | Thoroughily soak a compress in the mixture and apply directly to affected area. Allow the [compress to remain for at least a half hour. Compresses are often used to alleviate the pain caused from bursitis and arthritis or sore and aching joints. Vaporizing ‘Smoking is injurious to health. Marijuana is known to contain many health-enhancing compounds and to be helpful for a number of medical conditions. Burning plant materials, however, produces health-damaging toxins, which is why using a vaporizer for your marijuana is a sound alternative. When you use a vaporizer you are heating the marijuana to the temperature needed for the plant | 10 release its essential oils ~ and no further. No combustion takes place and you inhale a vapor, lor mist, instead of smoke. Plants release their active ingredients ata variety of temperatures, for marijuana the optimum temperature is 180°C to 200°C. However there are at least 250 variations cf marijuana plants that release heath-enhancing compounds when heated, so vaporizers can be used for more than marijuana! | All vaporizers work by heating your marijuana of choice; however, there are three ways this can /be achieved: Conduction simply involves placing the marijuana on a metal plate that is heated to release the essential oils. The first vaporizers used this method and some of these are still in use today. It is quite a crude method and, if the temperature is not finely controlled, the contact ‘between hot metal and plant material can lead to combustion and inhalation of smoke. In [convection vaporizers, the plant material never comes into contact with the heating element 24Greenleaf Compassion Center instead air is passed over or through the element before passing through the marijuana. The manner in which the air is drawn through the element varies from the simple ‘draw’, in which the user ‘pulls’ the air over a glass coated heating element and through the marijuana as the user inhales, to the forced air system where air is actively blown across the element and through the marijuana. Most marijuana vaporizers in use today use the convection method. Geting the st fom your Veporiar Don’t grind your marijuana too finely. You're looking for smallish lumps. Spread your ground marijuana evenly in the vaporizer chamber. |> Don’t be impatient! Allow around three to four minutes for the vapor to form, |> Ifyour vaporizer doesn’t have an automatic switch-off mechanism, remember to turn it off > when you're done. Inhaling vapor feels very different to inhaling smoke — you'll likely think you haven’t had enough and take too much on the first couple of occasions. Vaporizing is much more efficient than smoking — so in the long-term you will use less marijuana for greater effect. /Marinol: What is it? ‘This synthetic petrochemical analog is only one ofthe over 400 components found in the whole | | marijuana plant. Some patients said this costly synthetic form aids in the relief of nausea. Itis said to take up to an hour to be made available for use by the body. Marinol has potential for ‘overdose and must be used under the supervision of a physician. | Side Effects of Using Marijuans Marijuana use has been recorded to date for thousands of years, and there has never been one death attributed to the overdose of marijuana. However, there are some effects that sometimes ‘occur that should be known so you can more effectively use medical marijuana. > Uncasiness: Often marijuana has a soothing and comforting effect. Sometimes patients will ‘experience feelings of anxiety instead of or in conjunction with a sense of heightened awareness. Should this anxiousness occur, there are several approaches you can take to try and resolve it. Try to use marijuana when you are in a comfortable and secure environment. Lie down and relax. If you are with a friend or caregiver then ask your friend to keep eye contact with you, Request that they call you back to focus on the eyes, do not let your gave wander, stay focused on the eyes. | > Hunger: Often marijuana will induce hunger. If this is not an effect that particularly appeals to you, then drink a glass of water or juice. Try to eat nourishing food. > Thirst: Persistent thirst is a common side effect. Drink plenty of water, which is something that should be done every day. Add fruit juices or marijuana teas and try to avoid drinks that | dehydrate the body like coffee and soft drinks. > Drowsiness: The same warning that applies to any medication that causes drowsiness also applies to some varieties of marijuana. If you feel tired then rest. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery or anything that might endanger your well being or that of anyone else. 25Greenleaf Compassion Center “Insomnia: Some patients found that they cannot. sleep after using medical 1 marijuana or that the mind is active. Should this occur, try reducing your dosage and avoid using the medicine | prior to going to bed. Try using an indica dominant strain. | Short-Term Memory Loss: Some patients find it difficult to carry out complicated tasks or | conversations, keeping track of details or learning new information. Schedule your time so | that you can benefit from the use of marijuana and not be hindered. Long-term memory will not be affected. Red Eyes: This effect will not hurt you. Wear sunglasses or use a saline solution if you fee! it is absolutely necessary. idiness: Many people find that things which normally do not seem funny become quite amusing when they use marijuana. Most people enjoy this effect. A good laugh helps the | healing power of your body and mind. If you must go to the bank or deal with other situations where humor would be inappropriate in your judgment, schedule your time so that | you don't have to deal with them when you are taking your medicine. Do not worry, this will pass. ‘SAFE SMOKING TECHNIQUES ] | There are many methods and techniques to smoking medical marijuana.

Water pipes can be used to cool the temperature of inhaled plant matter. Vaporizers can be used as a smokeless alternative and also provide a uniquely “clear” | psychoactive effect. A blend of herbs that soothe the lungs can be rolled and smoked with marijuana, Some recommend smoking blend made up of the following 4 herbs: damiana, coltsfoot, mullein, and peppermint. We do not recommend rolling marijuana with tobacco. | 26Greenleaf Compassion Center Measure 5: GCC’s Medical Advisory Board shall advise GCC on all aspects of its business, which shall include serving as a forum for the exchange of ideas regarding medical marijuana and its effect on patients as well as a forum to address issues raised by the community.

This can make it difficult to determine whether or not medications or other pain treatments are effective. Utilizing pain scales can be an effective tool to overcome this barrier. GCC will utilize several pain scales to document the pain a patient is experiencing: > Numerical rating: Will be based on a scale from zero (0) to ten (10). This scale assigns a ‘measurable number to the patient's pain level. Zero represents no pain while 10 represents the worst imaginable pain. Wong-Baker: This scale is represented by faces with expressions. This scale follows the same guideline as the numerical scale, Zeto (0) is represented by a smiley face, while ten (10) is represented as a distraught, crying face. This scale will be utilized when rating pain in children, or for adults with mild cognitive impairments. > Verbal rating scales: This scale uses words to describe pain as opposed to a numerical-based scale. In other words, the person in pain describes the intensity of pain and how they feel GCC will develop a verbal rating scale based on the McGill Pain Questionnaire to record the information received from the patient. > Observer scales: This scale will be used when a patient is unable to communicate their pain level effectively. An observation-based scale offers objective measurements for pain, such as facial expression, muscle tone, blood pressure and heart rate. GCC will use the FLAC scale. v These scales will make pain measurable, and tell us whether a patient's pain is mild, moderate or severe. We will also be able to set baselines and trends for patient’s pain, making it easier to find appropriate treatments and document the patients self assessment of pain. If patient's pain rating decreases after they take a certain medication, then clearly that medication was effective. If there was no change, or if the number increased, then we will know it is time to try another strain or method Use of Pain Scale When asking a patient to rate his or her pain, GCC will communicate the need to be honest and not to exaggerate the pain. GCC understands that the more accurately a patient describes his or her pain, the better GCC will be able to help a patient control his or her pain. We have found that pain scales can also be an effective communication tool at home. We will encourage patients to teach the scales to their families and document their pain while away from GCC so we may be able to accurately gauge the pain level on a continual basis. 41‘eenleaf Compassion Center Pain Measurement — New Patient and Continu: {GCC will document a new patient's pain upon commencement of new patient registration. GCC will continue to document and monitor each patient’s pain throughout his or her treatment with GCC, and will do so at least every three (3) months. Log Books GCC will us a complete and fully-secure dispensary management system, to track and analyze patient data, including but not limited to patient outcome, utilization and trends. Using! GCC shall have the ability to create custom reports for use by the patient/caregiver, the patient’s primary care physician and GCC. Individual patient reports shall document the patient’s treatment and shall serve as a running “log book” of the effectiveness of the treatment plan. Such reports shall be made available to each patient as requested during treatment for educational and informational purposes. Reviewing the log book will help the patient/caregiver keep track of the strains used and their effects and to make adjustments as needed to obtain the best results possible. ll also enable GCC to create general reports compiling information from all patients (excluding all confidential and protected information) to enable-GCC to track and analyze general patient outcome, utilization and trends. GCC’s Medical Advisory Board may review these reports to determine best practices and methods to treat specific qualifying conditions as more information is compiled and analyzed and the medicinal marijuana program evolves. 2Greenleaf Compassion Center Vv.
