Buyers Beware: California Pot Sold Jan. l Could be `t'ainted -Ci (OMcul
The pot could contain pesticides, molds and other contaminants.
That legal weed you'll be able to buy in California on New Year's Day may not be as green as it seems.
Any marijuana sold when recreational sales become legal Jan. I in the nation's most populous state will have been grown
without regulatory controls that will eventually be in place. Pot could contain pesticides, molds and other contaminants
"Buyer beware," cautioned Donald Land, a University of California, Davis, chemistry professor who is the chief
scientific consultant at Steep Hill Labs Inc., which tests marijuana in several states. Earlier this year, Land oversaw
testing that found 93 percent of samples collected by KNf3C'- I'V from 15 dispensaries in four Southern California
counties tested positive for pesticides. That may come as a surprise for consumers who tend to trust what's on store shelves
because of federal regulations by the U.S. Agriculture Department or the U.S. hcxod and Drug Admin. "Unfortunately,
that's not true of cannabis," Land said. "They wrongly assume it's been tested for safety."
Stiffer regulations and testing requirements are being phased in next year, but growers and sellers have asix-
N�
month grace period to sell existing inventory grown under the loosely regulated medical marijuana program in place two
decades. With only a year to a develop a complex bureaucratic infrastructure of regulations, taxes and licensing for
recreational marijuana, state officials recognized it wasn't realistic or fair to require inventory grown or manufactured
under existing rules to suddenly meet testing standards.
Shops will have six months to sell the current crop of cannabis before their inventory has to pass tests Any pot harvested
or manufactured after Jan. I, however, will be subject to testing for potency and contaminants with a high public health
risk. Stricter limits will be phased in by the start of 2019.
Meanwhile, any pot that hasn't been tested will need to be labeled, said Alex Traverso, Bureau of Cannabis Control
spokesman. "That's one of the biggest reasons for regulation: to establish rules that protect public safety and improve the
quality of the product," Traverso said- "When people see a sticker that says 'Not tested,' at least they know and they can
ch(x)se whether they want to purchase that or not." That means there will probably be a lot of labels required when
everything from joints to cookies and oils go on sale. Land estimated that less than 5 percent of medical marijuana the
only pot legal to sell before 2018 -- is now tested.
As the industry emerges from the shadows, growers, manufacturers, shops and related businesses have to navigate a maze of
regulations that are still taking shape across state and local jurisdictions as sales are about to begin.
Juan Hidalgo, agricultural commissioner for Santa Cruz County, said pesticides are a top concern, and he wants to know
what is being applied and whether workers on site are protected. harmers who spray their own pesticides have to get it
certificate from the commissioner that requires passing a test and taking refresher courses every three years.
"A lot of these folks, up until now, they haven't been aware of what those requirements are and the proper use of
pesticides," Hidalgo said. "That's something we're hoping we can change in the coming weeks." The incentive will
be that entire crops or batches will have to he destroyed if unacceptable levels of contaminants are discovered.
Several years ago, Steep Hill tested concentrates at a cannabis contest and found traces of solvents from extracting hash oil
used in edibles and other products in all but three of 135 samples, Land said. "At first they were mad because they
couldn't sell their stuff the way they wanted to," Land said. But eventually, manufacturers figured out how to more
safely produce their products, and two years later all 140 samples the lab tested passed. tie thinks a similar thing will
happen with pesticides as testing becomes mandatory and the industry adapts. (Initially, though, it could mean lower
yields.)
Mike Winderman, manager of The Green Easy in Los Angeles, supports the idea of eliminating pesticides, but also thinks
the issue has been overhyped when the vast majority of crops that people eat are grown with pesticides and even organic
crops could be subject to pesticides drifting from nearby farms- "I think it's a little funny that this year everybody's caring
about pesticides," he said. "People have been smoking weed 30, 40, 50 years, and it's never been an issue."
Like many shops, Winderman's products are tested for potency, but not pesticides. Prices are dropping for the current crop
because they have a limited shelf life due to the regulatory controls that will eventually go into place. Winderman said he
wouldn't be surprised to find shops snapping up inventory now to avoid taxes that will take effect Jan. I and because some
popular products may not be available if small producers who don't want to pay registration fees drop out of the industry.
Robert Watson, assistant manager of Dutchman's Flat in San Francisco's Dog Patch neighborhood, said it isn't an issue
because his dispensary always tested for pesticides and will continue to do so if it is allowed to sell recreational pot. "It's
something we believe in," Watson said. "I think most patients out there wouldn't get medicine that isn't tested ")

Get a pencil: California marijuana -tracking; system not used
C lifornia's legal pot economy was supposed to operate under the umbrella of a %asl computerized %%stent to track
marijuana from seed to storefronts, ensuring that plants are follosted throughout the supply chain and don't drift
into the black market.
But recreational cannabis sales began this week without t he computer system in use for pot businesse%. Instead,
they are being asked to document sales and transfers of pol manuall%. using paper invoices or shipping maidle%1s.
That raises the potential that an unknown amount of %iced mill umilinuc slipping into the illicit market, a% it ha, for
yes rs.
For the moment, "you are looking at pieces of paper and self-reporling. A lot of these regulations are not being;
enforced right now," said Jerred Kiloh, a Los Angeles dispensary owner who heads the United Cannabis Itusin, v,
Association, an industry group -
The state Department of Hood and Agriculture, which is over%ccing the tracking system, said in a statement it %.a.
"implemented" Tuesday. However, it conceded that growers and sellers are not required to use it yet and training
on how- to input data will be necessary before it becomes mandatory, apparently later in the year.
The slow rollout of the tracking system is just one sign of the daunting task fat nng the nation's most populous State as it
attempts to transform its long-standing medicinal and illegal marijuana markets into a multibillion -dollar regulated
system.
Not since the end of Prohibition in 1933 has such an expansive illegal economy been reshaped into it legal one.
So far, it's been an unsteady start.
Business licenses issued to growers, distributors and sellers are temporary and will need to be redone or extended
later this year. 1lluch of the state is blacked out from recreational .ales because of the scarcity of licenses and
because some local governments banned commercial pot acti%ity.
"There are a lot ofthings inside the law that are transitional. I don't think it's as rigid as peopir want it tv sound." hiloh
said. Another risk is that some consumers might stay in the black market to avoid sticker shock front heli" taxes. And
there are concerns that a new distribution system will flail to get cannabis to shek es once cut rent stockpiles run ou(.
possibly in weeks.
Cathy Bliss at Mankind C ot')perativc in San Diego said the store did not have as much pot in stuck its it would hate likk•d
Charles Boldwyn, chief compliance officer ol'Show6row in Santa Ana, which opened to customers Monday, said the
relatively small number of licenses issued so far could create a bottleneck, cutting off pot from stores selling it.
"Ilx biggest hurdle we see, right out of the gate, is that starting today our access to product k limited." Bolih%yn said
The tracking system is part of the state's maze of rules and regulations intended to govern f lit emerging $7 billion
pot economy, the nation's largest. They range front where cannabis can be grown and smoked to emironntental
safeguards for streams near marijuana fields.
According to state law, the tracking system will provide "data points for the different stages of commercial
activity, including, but not limited to, cultivation, harvest, processing, distribution. in%entory and sale." It's also
intended to help the state keep track of taxes.
According; to the state. businesses holding annual licenses will be required use the tracking; system. hot those issued so liar
to growers and retailers have been temporary and they "are not required" to use the sy stent.
The expanded legal sales could offer a rich payoff for the ,title treasury. California expects to pull in SI hillion annually ill
taxes within several years.

Oregon pot shops caught selling to underage buyers
his: //www.scattletinies.con;,/nation-world/oregon-pot-shops-caught-set li ng•to-undcragc-
buyers/?utm source=RSS&utm medium=Referral&utm campai n=RSS seattle-news
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Nearly 20 percent of state-licensed marijuana retailers in a recent undercover oper ation sold
pert to underage buyers, according* to Oregon authorities.
1 he Oregon Liquor Control Commission told The Orcgcrnian/Orcg,onLi�e in a story on Saturday that 16 or86 shops
r'
ivana to people younger than 21 during; the December decoy visits.
Oregon Liquor Control Commission Executive Director Steve Marks says the results are unacceptable
"Oregonians who voted for legalizing recreational marijuana implicitly told the cannabis industry to abide by public
safety Iowa," Marks said in a statement. "Cinfly they're not."
The agency said Portland area shops had the worst results, while none of the central ( )rcgon stores sold to underage
visitors.
The agency issued citations to the shops that broke the law in a process that could result in fees or a temporary swpcnsion
of their licenses.
Anna Schrab, owner of AmeriCannaRX in Portland, was among the shops the state said sold to an underage customer, a
wsult she called "embarrassing."
She said she fired the employee who did the transaction and is buying a device that scans the identification of buyers.
She also said she's offering employees a bonus if they catch underage buyers.
Dan Morse owns a marijuana store in Portland that wasn't visited by inspectors in December.
I le said the underage sales were likely the result of a lack of training; for employees.
"It's a matter of training and making sure people are doing their jobs trying to catch people coming in who are underage,"
he said.
Mark Pettinger, a liquor commission spokesman, said more decoy operations are planned and the agency intends to visit
every licensed marijuana store in the state annually.

Rocky Mountain I.ow: The Downside of legalized Nlari.juana
When Colorado legalized recreational marijuana in 2014, many people worried. I he opposition cants prom a wide range
of Organizations —including grassrtots groups, law enforcement agencies and the Catholic Church. Three years later, the
results are in.
"It has changed society tremendously, and not for the Rood," %aid Deacon Ernest Martinez of Ilan cr, a police
command officer for the Denver Police Department for 35 years. "Every statistical study has seen an increase in
marijuana use," he said. "There has been an increase in youths going to rehab for addiction to marijuana. There
have been increases in car accidents. 'There has been an increase in fatalities related to marijuana. There has been
an increase in workplace incidences related to marijuana and a decrease in productivil}.And there has been an
increase in robberies."
The Trump administration signaled that it shares the doubts regarding the merits of marijuana legalisation. On .Ian. 4
three days after California followed Colorado's lead in legalizing recreational consumption --Attorney General Jett'
Sessions issued a memo announcing that the federal government was revoking the Obama administration's policy of nut
enforcing federal laws against marijuana in stags that have decriminalized it.
"This return to the rule of law is also a return of trust and local control to federal prosecutors who kno%% %% ht. re
and how to deploy Justice Department resources most effectively to reduce violent crime, stem the tide of 1 he drug,
crisis, and dismantle criminal gangs," the memo stated.
How It Changed Colorado. E. Christian Brugger, senior research scholar and fellow of ethics at the Culture of Lite
Foundation, saw the changes firsthand as a father of five children when lic lived in Colorado. "There hay been nothing
a(x)d for Colorado, except for maybe the increased tar revenue. But e%en then, it is a mixed bag.
Many people have moved to Colorado to exploit legalized marijuana — so housing prices have incrca,cd There is more
tiattic downtown. You can find marijuana dispensaries all over the place, especially in the poorer part~ of tgmn. It
is becoming part of the state's subculture," said Brugger. The smell of marijuana is ubiyuitnu% iu t he %tate no" —
so much so that there has been a marked increase in complaints to the police about the .null.
For those who own ski resorts, the emergence of marijuana smokers has been troubling, according to Brugger. "They
have rules about not letting you on the slopes if you have been snicking pot --but it's not always easy to tell," he said.
Anecdotally, many families from Colorado now drive to Utah to ski because it is deemed safer and more family -friendly.
Com erscly, Colorado has seen an increase in "marijuana tourism" — people mo% ing in just to smoke pot.
How Marijuana Got Legalized. The fight to legalize marijuana has pitted relati,#ely poor grassroots groups who
oppose it against wealthy individuals who support it. Marijuana is currently legal for recreational use in Washington,
Oregon, Alaska and Colorado. It will heconw legal next year in Nevada, Massachusetts. Califi►rnia and Maine. EtTorts to
legalize pot were stopped this year in Rhodc Island and Vermont.
"The push to legalize marijuana started with George Soros; Daniel Lewis, the heir of the co-founder of Progressive
insurance; Sean Parker, the founder of Napster and first president of Facebook; and John Sperling, the founder of the
University of Phoenix. All have given massive funding to the efforts to legalize," said Kevin Sabet, co-fi►under of
SMART Approaches to Marijuana, a group opposed to the legalization of marijuana.
"The people who fought for it in Colorado were single people, not families," said Brugger. "Pot -smoking young
people pushed it through a progressive legislature and argued that there would be more taxes for education. But
the only benefit now seems to be for those who make money from it and those who smoke it."
According to Deacon Martinez, members of an Eastern European drug maria have moved into Colorado to groN
marijuana illegally. "People will rent houses and grow between 400 and 1,000 plants," said Deacon Martinez.
*'They divert power illegally and reconstruct the air-conditioning units. There is not a two -block area in metro
Denver that does not have houses growing it illegally —without the state and local licenses that they need."
According to the constitutional amendment in Colorado, an}one can groiN up to six plants in his or her ossn hone.
"But how do you enforce that?" said Deacon Martinez.
The Reality of Addiction. Dr. Jeff Berger is the medical director for Guest House, a rehabilitation center for priests who
suffer from alcoholism and other addictions. lie has been treating addicts ('or 34 years."We know that, generally, if you
give medical marijuana to anyone, 9%, will become addicted to it," said Berger. "What happeus in addiction is: It's a
disease process which ruins a person's life and everyone around them. What 1 struggle with is: Why would anyone
prescribe a medicine that has a 9% addiction rate?"
Berger notes that the marijuana that is grown now is far different Irom that produced in the 1960s. "TI IC is the chemical
in marijuana which causes addiction," he said. "in the 1960s. pot had a 41% THC content. Today it is grown at 11%. It has
been grown to 31 %."
A study published in rhe New England .lanrnal of MeJirinr in 2014 by Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National
Institute on Drug Abuse at the National Institutes of Health, found that the addiction rate for adolescents was 17% and
25% to 50% for daily users. The study also found cognitive impairment, with lower IQ among those who were
frequent users in adolescence.
"The effects of a drug on individual health are determined not only by its pharmacologic properties but also by its
availability and social acceptability. In this respect, legal drugs offer a sobering perspective, accounting for the greatest
burden ot'disease associated with drugs, not because they are more dangerous than illegal drugs but because their legal
status allows for more widespread exposure," wrote Dr. Volkow in her conclusion.
Nlariluana has been linked to increased depression, anxiety, psychosis and suicide attempts. "flow people feel
about their lives after using pot for a few years tends to score lower," said Berger.
How to Respond as Catholics The Bible dues not speak about marijuana at all. I lowever, Scripture has plenty to say
about the problem of drinking too much.
"Sacred Scripture says a lot about drunkenness. St. Paul characterizes the behavior and actions of those who drink too
much as inconsistent with the Gospel," said Brugger. "Jesus speaks about what happens when the Master comes back and
finds his servants drunk and beating the other slaves. Drunkenness is the opposite of watchfulness."
Because marijuana, like alcohol, clouds mental faculties, it means that people who smoke pot can become unable to
address anything spiritual. "You are willing yourself to get to a condition where you are unable to attend to the
voice of the Lord. You just won't have a vibrant prayer life," said Bragger.
In a 2014 address to participants of the International Drug Enforcement Conference. Pope Francis denounced all fortns of
drug use, although he didn't cite marijuana specifically. "Let me state this in the clearest terms possible: The problem of
drug use is not solved with drugs!" he stated. "Drug addiction is an evil, and with evil, there can be no yielding or
compromise." Added the Holy Father, "Attempts, however limited, to legalize so-called `recreational drugs,' are not
only highly questionable from a legislative standpoint, but they fail to produce the desired effects."
Helping Those Addicted. Deacon Martinez believes that in states where niarijuana is on the increase —as it is in states
that have legalized it — Catholics will have to attend to those who have fallen into addiction. "Part of our call is to reach
out to the peripheries, to those who are susceptible to addiction and mural relativism," said Deacon Martinez. "We need to
catechize, but we are barely at the beginning."
in his parish of Notre Dame in Denver, Deacon Martinez has given talks about drug use during Respect Life Month.
"1 talk about how we haAc to respect our bodies as temples of the I loly Spirit and how we should not hurt ourselves. I try
to n►eet people where they are at. After these homilies, several parishioners called me to talk about their addictions. "
When people compare marijuana to alcohol, some argue that prohibiting it is worse and recall the Prohibition in the U.S.
in 1920s. But opponents of put do not buy this argument. "Alcohol is tolerated, but it is not great for society.
Remember that alcohol had been accepted in society for thousands of years before its prohibition. Rlarijuana has
been used by only a fraction of the population in society," said Sabet. "With regards to marijuana, let's not let the
horse out of the stable. Legalized marijuana means massive commercialization, and time will show that it is an
unmitigated public disaster."

Colorado politicians ignore major pot problems
Gov. John Hickenlooper, D -Colo., and Sen. Cory Gardner, R -Colo., don't ~rein to care much about the toll recreational
marijuana imposes on Colorado. Each reacted with righteom indignation to the Trump administration's decision to rescind
the Obama administration's lax pot policies. "It's not a black market anymore. It's not a criminal acti% ity, and we would
hate for the state to go backwards," I lickenlooper said Thursday, expressing concern about the potential for nx►re fcdrral
enforcement against our state's illegal marijuana indusny.
Gardner asserted his duty Thursday to protect the state's "right" to sanction, host, and profit from an industry
drat flagrantly violates federal law to the detriment of traffic safety, federal lands, children, and neighboring states
that are burdened by Colorado put.
Neser mind that even the Obama policy emphasized a need for federal enforcement against drugged driving,
damage to kids and neighboring states, and the presence of cartels and pot on federal land. Somehow, Colorado
has a right to avoid these federal enforcement measures even the Obama administration %anted. Colorado
politicians need to stop pandering and start leading, which means telling the truth ahout the se.ereh negative
consequences of big commercial pot.
Ilickenlooper, Gardner, and other politicians tell us everything is rosy, but that's not what we hear from educators,
cops, social workers, doctors, drug counselors, parents, and others in the trenches of the world's first anNthing goes
marijuana free-for-all. It is not what we see in the streets.
It' l Iickenlooper and Gardner cared to lead on this issue, they would tell the world about the rate of pot -involved traffic
fatalities that began soaring in their state in direct correlation with the emergence of legal recreational pot and Rig
Marijuana. They would talk about Colorado's status as a national leader in the growth of homelessness, which all
major homeless shelter operators attribute to commercialized, recreational pot.
The% would talk about the difficulty in keeping marijuana from crossing borders into states that don't alloy. it.
They would spread the words of classroom educators and resource officers who sai put consumption among teens
is out of control.
honest leaders would talk about illegal grow operations invading neighborhoods and public lands. They would
stop selling false, positive impressions about a failed policy for the sake of "respecting the will of voters" who made
a mistake. They would not follow public perception but would lead it in a truthful direction.
Ilickenluoper says legalization has eliminated illegal put in Colorado, which is laughable to men and women who
enforce the law and talk to us. Id Paso County Sheriff' Bill Flder speaks of more than 550 illegal rural home -grow
operations in EI Paso County alone.
Mayor John Suthers — Colorado's furmer U.S. attorney, attorney general, district prosecutor and state director of
corrections — speaks of hundreds of illegal pot operations in Colorado Springs he hopes to raid. We could go on
with countless accounts of leading law enforcers who describe illegal pot activity that exceeds limits of
departmental budgets and personnel.
That's the small stuff, relative to the massive black market Colorado's legalization attracts to federal property.
Da%e Condit, deputy forest and grassland supervisor for the Pike -San Isabel and Cimarron-Cumanche National
Grasslands, recently accompanied Porest Service officers on the raid of a Mexican cartel's major grow operation west of
Colorado Springs. It was among at least 17 busts of Bartel operations in the past 18 months. Ile describes the type of
operation mostly based in Mexico, before legalization made Colorado more attractive. Condit said the agency lacks
resources to make a dent in the additional cartel activity in the region's two national forests.
"It was eye opening to put on the carnoutlage and sneak through the wootis a14 in the morning," Condit told The Gazette's
editorial board Friday. "I had no idea the scope of these plantations. "these are huge farm, hidden in the national forests.
The cartels de-limb the trees, so there is some green left on them. Of her trees are cut dm%n. 'I hey fertilize t he
plants extensively, and not all these fertilizers and chemicals are legal in this area.
"This is different than anything we have experienced in the past. These massive plantations are not the work of
someone moving in from out ol'state who's going to grow a few plants or even try to grow a bunch of plants and sell
thein. These are massive supported pintations, with massive amounts of irrigation. The cartels create their own
little reservoirs for water. 'These operations are guarded with armed processors. They have little buildings on site.
The suspects we have captured on these grows have all been Mexican nationals."
Condit said the black market invading Colorado's national forests has grown so targe the entire budget for the
Pike and San Isabel forests would not cover the costs of removing and remediating cartel grows in the forests he
helps supervise.
"There's a massive amount of resource damage that has to be mitigated," Condit said. "You've goo facilities and
structures that have to be deconstructed. We would need to bring in air support to get materials out of there. There are tens
of thousands of plants that have to be destroyed."
Condit hopes the Colorado Legislature will channel a portion of marijuana proceeds to the forest Service to help pay for
closure and reclamation of cartel operations. "For every plantation we find, there are many more," Condit said.
Authorities captured only two cartel suspects in the raid Condit witnessed. and others escaped by foot into the woods.
"'Phis operation had a huge stockpile of food. Hundreds and hundreds of giant cans (offood), and slacks ol'tortillas two or
three people could not consume: in months." Condit said. "So it appeared they were planning to bring in a large crew for
the harvest. I wouldn't have thought you could hide something like that in our woods, but you can."
Officers seized a marijuana stash and plants worth all estimated $35 million that morning. Merely destroying the plants
presented a significant expense.
"Whether you're a recreational shooter, a weekend camper, or you're going to walk your dog in the woods, you
should be concerned," Condit said. "Some of these people have guns. If you stumble into $35 million worth of
illegal plants, I'd be concerned. We are concerned for our own personnel."
