that was of course saturday night live having some fun with colorado's new pot law just this week that state made headlines for granting the world's first recreation recreational marijuana retail license i should say the world's first certainly america's first pot shops in colorado will be opening their doors this january washington state will follow their lead starting sales the spring the move is leading to a so called green rush business people from very different backgrounds hoping that make a killing off the budding industry sicilia sieverts and is a former paralegal she is the owner of a secret it's a company that produces cannabis infused soda angel swanson is a real estate agent also the owner of the cannabis foundation and molly poi's set as a pastry chef who develops recipes for recreational and medical use ladies it's good to see all of you and i hear you and your angel you you've been described as the poster child for  cannabis a mother of seven who grew up with a strong bias against illegal drugs what led to to rethinking your position on family circumstances we had in february my husband actually asked me of that year that we first opened if i wanted to open he thought it would be a gold rush and i and i absolutely not but we had a child we have a one of our daughters who has always had digestive issues who was head scholarship into college and we discovered that she wasn't taking your medication she was actually eating marijuana least cookies to help her appetite and for the first time i'd ever seen her put on some weight and i asked her i said well that medicine you're taking from the doctor is working is what's going on and i lost it i mean i really lost it and i spent a lot of time researching why this extremely intelligent child should not be doing what she was doing and frankly i couldn't find anything i couldn't find any real substantive answers that say to her don't do this all i could find was why she should and so i began the journey of changing my mind twenty one states in the district of columbia that have laws legalizing marijuana in some shape form or fashion colorado with washington state so for the only states that have made it legal for recreational use molly again you started a business out there what are some of the other businesses what are some of the other businesses that are starting to pop up with regards to par well in seattle there's quite a variety of different businesses that are going to be applying for their license for recreational marijuana but you know for example it is going to be doing so does and different types of topical creams that will help people with their pain for me because i'm a recently graduated from the court on blue paris and i decided because i have a daughter who survived a stem cell transplant that i wanted to help people who a new deficiency disorders and people who are in pain to help them by being able to create pastries and chocolates that are edibles that will help them  through their difficult times as the business community still for there has it there's a been fairly well yes i am a new transplant to seattle i moved here just about five months ago and people are very welcoming here and they're very receptive broad minded and understand that cannabis has benefits for people in pain and distance no benefits and that's why i those who are not quite in the industry who are on that there we need so much more participation when you realtors we need then we need c p a s we need just the ride right i mean we have staffing issues we have all the issues that a re gular business would have but we don't have access to a lot of those services you know a successful entrepreneur in this country all those are the ones that the big take risk is this too big of the risk depends on what kind of risk you want to take you my business i started out taking customers from my label company some of them with their names some of them don't  there's ways to work around that i looked at the customers that i wanted to use to provide my sodas they were willing to help me out by providing the sodas for me i'm going to work with other customers  just necessarily in colorado or washington state well my hope is and it is my belief that nationally it is in our best interest to fully legalized cannabis and for people that are suffering to be able to use it as a medicine to their own benefit with the assistance of a doctor if they need be or that people that want to recreate instead of alcohol if they would like to enjoy marijuana or cannabis that they should be able to do that it's certainly very on many levels it's very safe and  you do not have the same levels of domestic violence with people who consume marijuana or cannabis as you do with problematic consumption of alcohol so i personally hey it's all their lives and i can see behind me her you can i hope you can't that's mannus secret so to us and that's probably a soda in there behind me somewhere in that door right there you know i think if you everybody wants to they c probably i'm not the person knows how to find out except on the internet and it is nana secret there's two s s nana's secret dot com just you know that and we'll find out what's behind these doors here in just a second let alone the fact that so you can get to these stores i got there i want to get there too because i really interested in nan a secret sort of sister something about cannabis and i'm going to find out here just a second from the professor of the came up with this idea i think her name is celia and i think she's got some advising help right now from a person that came up with the old toby stream oh by the way imo i will will people some are going to you know that and we're about to hear from cecilia and matthew and  children with epilepsy i should say hopefully children we're looking forward inviting some mothers from across the country to bring their children out here to learn about products that we're going to be working on for them  more well we we know that there's none psychoactive compounds that the cannabis plant produces such as c b d that there's no discernible high there's no munch child's developing brain just the c b d they need to suppress the peripheral nervous system and disallow the the seizure from from happening and so now we're finding there's demon inflammation memory improved memory vision hearing and anti cancer chemicals or drugs that the plants produce and it's very very exciting we're starting separate the chemicals that cause the high in the stone effects from the biggest really useful chemicals that's in a nutshell the importance of the future of this alternative medicine the safer alternative non lethal form of the turn of medicine the product that matthew brought to me earlier today to try because i do make my own medicine because i have epilepsy so i tested it today for myself and maybe i use a little bit too much because it did make my head not felt quite as well but compared to the medicine that i have been making the best thing i can say about it was it had no psychoactive  and so far i've had a very good day i haven't had any termers that i normally have when i first get up in the morning and so tomorrow i will try the medicine again with half the dosage and i'll continue to try matthew's medicine throughout the next week with different doesn't just announced until i get the correct dosage and then i will continue with his medicine probably up until the i v in may so i have with a cookies before it took longer to effect to me but the with the carbonation and all the it seems that it's a kick in right away and also the people with the kidney problems and bladder problems for some reason when it's bonding with water soluble like the glycerin which is one of the one of the ways that you can infuse cannabis for sodas it seems to be very very beneficial in or really exciting to think that i get old the old toby strain with the negative side effects bred out could be incorporated into it into a soda because there's many different medical if you if you need appy to appetite stimulating substances or stuff to help you sleep we're all of us in medical cannabis or are trying to trying to pin down the chemicals that have individualized effects and very very close to many of these so that i'm hoping my single tree enhancement will greatly help because if we can breed a strain that has an individual effect it will be able to reverse engineer it and find out the exact chemicals because it's not about it's not like opes c b c a now we know it makes you sleep c b d now we know it makes you hungry or t h c now we know it makes confuses and it's really not that simple that's like saying your brain works by of serotonin only or something there's hundreds of chemicals in the brain and there's a hundred chemicals in the cannabis that react to your body's physiology and so but if we can get a map of this  chemical key that this chemical factory that we call cannabis is producing by creating a strain that is one hundred percent more hungry effect with the other effects spread out not a percent more maybe more confused and more paranoid it as a different trait it's throwing you off like let's say the paranoid effect has to do with potency or the confusing effect is connected with the yield of the plan so maybe there's a big giant yield plan but it makes you really confused and so every time you breed for yield or potency your breeding to make it more paranoid or confused you're bringing in the in these negative side effects inadvertently because we don't know the genetic trait groups that are connected to the medical effectiveness of the player yet we have an i mean the first one the just some patient and the first one even identify these as i'm retired confused paranoid and intensely majority antidepressant so anyway it's kind of exciting to have a soda pop that you can drink that effect in for m s parkinson's a demon lupus we're hoping for me what's the most exciting part but so a soda pop that a lot of that's available to a lot of patients that way it's nobody runs out you can always get it and that  that's the next hurdle i want a better treatment for epilepsy i think there has to be something better than c b d and something that what we and mainly we want to be don't want people getting stoned we don't want to intoxicated we don't want to be breathing you know especially like children or you know we those parts of the brain need to be developed properly without they don't need to develop their brains being paranoid still chemical composition in there this medically effective at that level and we don't know yet but that's what i'm hoping for it's pretty exciting let me put it this way if you see old toby nana's sodas right man his secret sodas you see there the secret o toby that means it's working that the patient trials are coming back it's if if if you don't see it then you know we try yeah we yeah it just didn't pass our personal research study this time but we're still working yeah it's pretty good you know there's no vocals for what it is i mean it's a good cd but three people have heard it and no one's going to hear it if it was shoved down one hundred two hundred million people throw to the radio every single day maybe five hundred thousand people would buy it or five hundred thousand or something right but it has to be promoted and that's not my job i don't know how i do that to begin promoting a cd i don't know how to make soda pop i don't know how to have a soda company or a dispensary anything but i do have a strain that's very very medically effective in very very low doses where the t h c we can even i don't know maybe if we have to extract some g c and make it really you know a child or  then when it gets a hundred eighty almost to two to two hundred degrees i'll turn it off and let it cool and then turn it back on history for seventy two hours hundred eighty degrees yes oh absolutely whole plant material yes if you are specific and right now i'm working on versions of strain specifically for extraction but right now it's two you could have a strain that has a certain effect and extract it now it's changed every time it's going to change it and so if you're doing that on purpose for specific medical effect yes by all means but just indiscriminately  restoration was one patient this i can't really name names it sounds like a bunch of b s when you start talking about other people's patient trials but i personally know that their organs are rejuvenating so when they had just the glands or dabs and stuff like that i mean nobody else in cannabis is having the success it's something in the whole plan especially with the with the toby for sure i mean you could actually extract he could probably i'll go so far as to say it will screw it up but a good way you could almost make c o two traction with the toby set that aside and then take what's left over and make your glycerin with it and it's going to be help and seizures and really good treatment for parkinson's and inflammation in them as in everything maybe we should do that this re infuse a little bit of t h c just enough to make it medically effective but or a little bit of that oil back into it you know but yeah absolutely and so we know if you know what you're doing yes i but people the reason they say that is because they know that if you do a good oil extra on it first then you're measuring out a measured amount you know oh now we know it's seventy five my milligrams per twelve ounces of cac or something that's what they want they want you know because so many people you can take and it's forty five bucks a pound or something for a leaf and you can just wash it and sell cannabis tea or something is not met and it's literally like what's left over from bob last or something and people try this medical useful get some high and they're not mad at this point five five bucks on it he didn't taste bad but that's kind of everyone's doing that they're just washing leaves or whatever but if you take the oil that infuse it in you know you get hundred milligram of medicine or your gummy bear whatever sodas or anything that's pretty much why they said that because know and i've had tests come back to as little as point one t h c per at with hope what even were it but it was very weak and everyone said best ever so the something else happening there's the entourage helper chemicals that the plan is producing in the toby it's beyond anything that you'd actually get out in i think maybe take the oil out of toby and it didn't help my memory at all i didn't yeah i didn't it wasn't beneficial medically better if you know what i mean be just didn't get to the lot for me to get high off it but you know it didn't really help my memory either you know it's there's a lot more questions and answers is kind of that's and you're on the same path so it's there's no friction there's no conflict whatsoever we just keep doing what you keep doing what you're doing every day i keep doing what i'm every day i do every day and all the sudden patients are going to have really good medication a safer treatment for a more effective treatment for that's what we really were really looking for a more effective anti inflammatory more effective sleep aid more effective for antidepressant finding any of those dispensers you can email me at so again a secret dot com or you can give me a call my phone numbers on the screen some matthew gordon out there that's got ten thousand e mails like what the heck i don't even smoke pot but it's m a t h e w g o r d o n four twenty g mail well he probably smoked pot of it's for twenty g mail there's two of  had nothing to do with the name of the album the name of the songs or the cover but it's actually good music specially in your grow room or way you trim in or make it better or tinctures or whatever it's really good music you just have playing on a loop so you go to amazon dot com matthew gordon jazz it's a jazz album and it's for ninety nine to download and i downloaded it it is rated for to have stars out of five so far  twenty first century news gave it a high rating so yeah there it is right there so you go to amazon and you can check out for free like thirty seconds of each song has five songs it's forty minutes and  i enjoy the heck out of it i mean i played on it but it's i like it you know i like my own strains and i like my own songs but it's got to be relevant you know just go ahead you listen to it and see if you like it he likes  background here it was that links there that's it right there and i think we've got a playing actually they can watch it and a lot happened after you were on national television in a censure on probably could national right now yes thank you very right so you just the inflammation is gone the seizures reduced the visions better the hearing the memory the pain it's associated with inflammation without the without the stoned intoxicating thank you very much matthew really thanks either thanks for being on all the life and we'll probably get talking again more people want to know more about this it's going to get bigger and bigger right there was of course saturday night live having some fun with colorado's new pot law just this week that state made headlines for granting the world's first recreate recreational marijuana retail

for recreational and medical use ladies it's good to see all of you and i hate you and your intro you've been described as the poster child for  cannabis a mother of seven who grew up with a strong

she wasn't taking your medication she was actually eating marijuana least cookies to help her appetite and for the first time i'd ever seen her put on some weight and i asked her i said well that medicine you're taking from the doctor is working great and she gives me the smirk that you know mom will pick up and if i'm stopping i realize that i haven't i didn't buy the medicine for her from from her prescription for quite a while and so she owned up you know this is this is what's going on and i lost it i mean i really lost it and i spent a lot of time researching why this extremely

here just about five months ago and people are very welcoming here and they're very receptive broad minded and understand that cannabis has benefits for people in pain and the dishonorable benefits and  that's why i believe we have a start law and and i'm sorry no business is here it depends on the businesses you're talking about now some are very open if it's a cannabis based industry we're all very much from a very large family  but those who are not quite in the industry who are on that there we need so much more participation when you realtors we need bankers we need c p a s we need just the ride right i mean we have staffing issues we have all the issues that a regular business would have but we don't have access to a lot of those services you know a successful entrepreneur in this

instead of alcohol if they would like to enjoy marijuana or cannabis that they should be able to do that it's certainly very on many levels it's very safe and you do not have the same levels of domestic violence with people who consume marijuana or cannabis as you do with problematic  way it's here in the northwest where all the lives you can be all the life where you're at you can watch us roll over world if you want seal community media dot com you can even catch the sun by the way you tube you can look up sea g i think we got there right it's a tough one and then yeah it really is a tough one because roger starting off with it you know not only are you out there just starting off with it we are too i didn't know any more than you did and now america's only open daily cannabis market open seven days a week from eleven to seven we are a bunch of patients and providers essentially that are just protecting a free enterprise that we all have helped create invested in the volved in the market in other markets as well not all just cannabis related but what this has a lot to do with is are the rights of us and why we're forming a political party is essentially to bring awareness to what we're doing and to try to bring education as well to the general public so people are informed therefore they can make decisions for themselves based on real factual evidence not he said she said so we're just trying to educate ourselves as we go along and this is a journey and adventure for all of us and more or less a duty that a whole bunch of us feel that it's not necessarily what we ever saw ourselves doing individually or as a group but here we are and it is what it is real quick is the anything what's been going on the meetings what's been happening is this what we're doing is we've got a fine group of men and women that are involved and invested not just financially but you know there's a lot of people there's a lot of women in particular i'd like to thank and and send a shout out to all the ladies that are part of what we're all doing and i'd like to mention a group called wow who is kind of associated with normal and a place called delta nine in seattle there are exceptional group of women i think  featured in a local magazine called northwest leaf i recommend checking them out if you're interested to find out what a woman's view is and how a woman feels about our industry women in general you know i think there needs to be a podium for an area a place for them to preach from and speak from as well and their voice needs to be heard and we want all the patients and providers and we think everybody should get along and that at heart we all do get along and we're only talk to not get along so if we on learn that we might be ok really and as a nationwide program as well right right yeah  normal i mean normal is a pretty big sensible washington and you have participated in in medical experiments and and medical related patient and provider programs trying to figure out you know working with strains and patients and in other colleges as well but here we're in washington and i like to talk about you know medical you could be and should be in charge of the medicinal whereas another college in our state w s u could be in charge of recreational and economically m m j as a commodity sooner than later be traded in chicago through chicago as a commodity just like everything else traded on nasdaq openly you know shares share shareholders there's nothing wrong with that being a business there's something wrong with people being treated like a business as long as we're taking care of and taking care of each other there's no reason why we can't be structured in organized and the market galaxy as well as another location they've got and white center we all you know i'm representing i'm talking speaking for members of the market the market people that work there the owners of the property they're all personal friends they're all great people they're all heroes of mine blazing a trail for patients and providers all i'm doing in the political party that we're forming and i'd like to mention chris kelly who's going to be on next week he's a personal friend of mine he's a great guy the great guy in the cannabis industry working with children and  and vets with p t s d so my advocacy group in the past has worked with adults more terminal and debilitating type aids and cancer patients and and chris his background is more or less in working with children and vets so together i think we we are force to be reckoned with and all we're all we are real people and we're just trying to make a living we're just trying to live peacefully and take care of ourselves and each other and if we have to form a political party to get our voice heard to be seen and heard i guess we're it is what it is and we're doing what we need to do how does northwest canvass market for them in this i mean tell you the truth i'd like to send another shout out to a friend of ours kevin who works at the market who has brought a lot of us together kevin about a year and a half ago has creek has crumbs he almost died he has given up everything in his life to protect his wife and his two daughters he wants to live as well bunch of us just want to be left alone and if we have to fight for that right then we'll be heard and will be seen kevin is proud of bunch of us together he works at the market a bunch of other people work at the market men and women and then the vendors that they've brought in almost selectively sometimes maybe choosing or reaching out to those that they need within the community kevin brought a couple of a few of us more than a few of us in to the market for specific reasons and i think that we have to protect the free enterprise that we've helped create and it's it's a war being waged against the people unfortunately from all kinds of angles all kinds of views and we could talk politically about that forever but economically m m j as a commodity and treated as a business you know cargo ships full of marijuana your way just legalizing marijuana and basically stating publicly they're going to it's going to be a dollar gram that's what i'm talking about that's what we're talking about as a group that's what we're talking about look ahead to the future it isn't necessarily about delivery or or concentrate says it different for medicine they're going to categorize and classify something that we take from from cannabis and increase the potency to a level where it's so highly effective that it treats just about anything with no negative side effects no l d fifty rating that means no lethal overdose i can't overdose on marijuana there's a joke in the industry how how much marijuana did the take to kill a lab rat two point two pounds dropped on it from twenty feet about the cannabis most north west campus market where's it located it is in seattle seattle washington for a near the exact address i hope it's on the screen i'm not sure hopefully of the phone number and maybe websites up there what we got right here and maybe we can bring up the location here real fast let's see if we can and let's see if he has patient info patient providers contact so let's who are you go here it says twenty three twenty nine rainier avenue south that sounds
