THE SHAKEDOWN - june
What’s New for YOU---R wallet
You might want to reserve a hotel room
near the Gateway Center in Collinsville,
Illinois for The St. Louis Cannabis Expo
is happening July 23-24 (in Illinois) if you
are serious about retiring rich. The cash
crop to cash in on is marijuana and if you
want to line your account right quick, there
are advisers at this Expo to help you on the
path to riches.
One of the current roadblocks is that
marijuana is still a cash-only biz, at least
until Uncle Sam gets with the plan. Of
course, cash is still a useable form of
currency, but a bit of a hassle for mailing
your mortgage. We have high hopes that
our federal decision makers will soon see
the light. Find out more about the canna-biz

Why it’s critical to buy from a licensed
dispensary
out of your mouth.
Hayneedle has a CVault; a container that
keeps your marijuana fresh. No air or light
gets in, keeping your medicine completely
free of contaminants. Made of 18/10
food-grade stainless steel construction,
it comes in multiple sizes, the largest is
4.75 inches diameter by 2.5 inches tall and
usually costs only $35, it was on sale for
$22 over Memorial Day Weekend. Added
perk: Hayneedle has a lot of hydroponic
mini garden supplies that won’t break your
bank account. Many can sit on your kitchen
counter quite nicely.
Kitchen catalog suppliers are in on the
4-2-0 with supplies you’ll need to prepare,
grind, dry, dab, vape, smoke and store
your medical marijuana (or your Jamaican
Blue Mountain Coffee or Spanish Saffron)
properly. And, of course, many look like
high-tech, stainless steel complex medical
devices requiring specialized training and
a pantry all their own so the waffle iron
doesn’t feel inferior. High Times will be

One thing Oklahoma may have gotten
right by waiting to enter the Medical
Cannabis game is that it gave Oklahoma
the opportunity to learn from the mistakes
of others. One error in judgment some
are doomed to repeat is ‘cheaping out’
buying junk rather than buying the good
stuff. Trying to save a few bucks can turn
into a total loss if you are buying from a
disreputable vendor.
California is suffering the effects of
dispensaries that refuse to go through the
process of proper licensing, inspections and
regulations and therefore have been selling
product contaminated with chemicals such
as malathion, myclobutanil and bifenazate,
all of which can lead to scary health issues
if consumed, organ failure being one of
them. Blindness being another. Off-brand
medical marijuana is not like generic
medication; you will get what you pay for.
Take a lesson from California’s playbook
and always buy from a trustworthy licensed
dispensary.
Ready, Steady, GROW!
Growing your own Medical Cannabis can
put lots of (both kinds) of green back in
your pocket if you are willing to invest a little
time, effort and money into growing your
own personal stash. There are local folks
who want to help you do it on the cheap
and they are willing to impart their snippets
of knowledge your way.
