Canadians can officially smoke weed begining October 17, 2018

After a Senate vote of 52 to 29 for Bill C-45, the Cannabis Act yesterday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau presently declared today precisely what date Canadians will begin having the capacity to lawfully have the capacity to illuminate and appreciate recreational weed.

The declaration date came amid Question Period today.

Talking in french, Trudeau said the official legitimization date will be October 17, 2018.

In spite of the fact that the declaration date was initially anticipated to be in September, Trudeau said that the additional month was asked for by a portion of the “huge” areas – especially Quebec to guarantee that directions are set up when Canadians can legitimately illuminate.

Usage was initially assessed to happen inside a scope of 8 to 12 weeks.

“Cannabis for non-medicinal utilize isn’t legitimate yet. The law still remains the law,” cautioned Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould at a public interview Wednesday morning, before the Prime Minister’s declaration.

“It’s been too simple for our children to get pot – and for culprits to harvest the benefits. Today, we change that. Our arrangement to authorize and control pot just passed the Senate. #PromiseKept,” Trudeau tweeted Tuesday after the Senate voted on the Cannabis Act.

The cannabis charge itself has been in the Senate since November 28.

What does 710 mean for Cannabis users, similar to 420

710 is the stoner term used to portray and commend maryjane concentrates, like how 420 is utilized. For quite a while 420 was utilized to depict and commend all types of cannabis, however at some point reasonably as of late somebody chose that maryjane concentrates required their own particular occasion and numerical term, and 710 was picked. 710 was picked in light of the fact that in the event that you flip around the number, it spells ‘OIL’ which is a term frequently utilized when alluding to cannabis concentrates like wax, break, and so on.

What Are Dabs?

I really composed a whole article on this subject, however basically, spots are concentrated types of pot (hash). The most well-known structures are made with a dissolvable like butane or CO2, yet there are different methods for making spots. To peruse my article that is helpfully titled ‘what are spots’ snap this connection here.

Who ‘Developed 710’?

Likewise with most things in weed culture, there’s no real way to know for beyond any doubt who authored the term 710 and connected it to weed concentrates. There are no uncertainty many, numerous individuals out there that claim that they were the ones that began it, or know the individual that did. Such things are about difficult to demonstrate, so as opposed to try and attempt, we will simply say that somebody, at some point in the last bunch of years began utilizing the expression and it stuck.

At the point when Did ‘710’ Become A Stoner Holiday?

Once more, such things are difficult to demonstrate. Nonetheless, I didn’t begin finding out about 710 festivals and it being alluded to as a stoner occasion until 2013. Does that imply that that is the point at which it begun? I question it. I’m certain there are individuals that have been commending it longer than that. On the off chance that somebody has been celebrating on 7/10 before that, vibe allowed to state so in the remarks (which I’m certain there will be many!)

How Much Security Does Your Cannabis Dispensary Need?

How Much Security Does Your Cannabis Dispensary Need?

This week, the tides shifted dramatically in the way that cannabis is bought and sold, especially in California where recreational cannabis will make the state a leader in cannabis sales worldwide. Before recreational legalization, medical dispensaries required cannabis consumers to show a cannabis card that required an evaluative process on patient needs. This added a bit of a “buffer” on who was coming through the doors of dispensaries, but now that recreational cannabis is legal, anyone (of age) can now buy cannabis. Inventory will increase, cash holdings will increase, and the number of people accessing legal cannabis for the first time will naturally evolve to a larger customer base. As a result of growth in the cannabis businesses, and in the cannabis dispensaries, how much security does a dispensary need, and what are the ways that a dispensary can increase security as they increase business?

 

Thoughtfully Covered Points of Entry

It’s important that you are able to keep all points of entry and exit within your establishment secure with both threat detection (i.e. security systems and weapons detection) as well as guards. While security is a tough game, you don’t want to set a tough tone between your security guard and cannabis consumer. Work with your security staff to ensure that they embrace and understand the customer experience you are developing in-store. Since they are the first point of contact, ensure that they are helping consumers feel welcome and invited, yet are able to maintain a zero-tolerance stance on any customer activities that could present a perceived threat to your dispensary, staff and other customers.

Transportation Is No Amateur Game

If your cannabis dispensary is using a regular driver and a regular vehicle to transport your cannabis and your dispensary’s cash, you could be putting so much at risk. We can never underestimate that certain people or groups want to take advantage of firms who experience economic growth, especially when that growth hasn’t been supported by infrastructure. Cannabis and cash transportation should be a significant part of your security budget, to ensure that nothing, especially the safety of people, is jeopardized through the operational procedures of running your cannabis dispensary. There is a growing availability of cannabis transportation companies who are matching dispensary security needs with security technology and advanced transport like armored vehicles.

Conducting a Cyber-Security Check

As last year demonstrated with the MJ Freeway database being hacked, cannabis dispensaries need to ensure that their servers are secure and that protection of client personal and financial information is iron-clad. Dispensaries can’t afford to let their retail operations be vulnerable to hackers or Ransomware that can cost companies into the thousands. Ensure that as you ramp up the digital activities that are going on in your business, that the information infrastructure is being built to support it and maintain the security of your client information, point-of-sale system, inventory manager and all digital activities.

Tightening Up Employee Theft Prevention

Up to 90% of losses reported by dispensaries are due to employee theft. No business can afford such a loss. More product equals more chances of discrepancies in checks and balances. When you make significant changes to your retail structure, you also have to get your employees and budtenders on board on how these changes are accounted for. Some ways that you can tighten up the way your budtenders are handling cash and cannabis to prevent employee theft include:

  • Undergoing due diligence in employee hiring, including conducting background checks
  • Set clear employee expectations in terms of the way that cash and product is tracked
  • Discourage “heavy-handedness”
  • Do not allow employees to sell to themselves
  • Limit the amount of discounting that employees can do for friends and family
  • Use your POS and inventory management software to do daily checks on inventory and sales

Bring Budtender’s Security Literacy Up to Snuff

As Marijuana Retail Report has discussed before, investing in your employee’s learning and development will translate into them taking care of your business. Employees who are treated well treat their employers well. In a fast-growing business, staying on top of training and development is key. This includes ensuring that all your staff is well versed in safety procedures, how to detect threats, how to respond to threats, and how to ensure the safety of all the people involved in cannabis. Talk to some of the cannabis security companies in your area about how they can be involved in increasing your staff literacy on security and come up with a customized training program that enhances your security strategy.

You Can Never Be Too Careful

Cannabis is growing so fast, and it’s important to ensure that we don’t get complacent in areas that should actually have more attention, like safety and security. The beginning of the new year is an excellent time to reflect on the security measures you have in place while recognizing that you can always do better to ensure the safety of your cash, product, and people.

NEWSLos Angeles Finally Cracking Down On Unlicensed Marijuana Businesses

Los Angeles County officials weigh mass medical marijuana raids

Los Angeles police are investigating several unlicensed marijuana shops they believe are engaging in criminal activity.

During a news conference, LAPD Deputy Chief John Sherman said he believes there are hundreds of those businesses operating around L.A.

“We have several hundred, probably somewhere in the neighborhood of 200 to 300, of what we believe are these unlawful and illegal establishments operating throughout the city,” he said.

Authorities said a marijuana business on Laurel Canyon and Van Nuys boulevards in Pacoima has been a trouble spot for years. Police arrested three people during a raid at the shop last week, including a convicted felon who was in possession of a weapon.

“A person was operating as a security guard. That person was unlicensed. That person was armed. We recovered three firearms out of that location,” Sherman said.

Police have identified 18 businesses in the city that they suspect are associated with criminal activity.

Officials said unlawful pot operations contribute to crime in the surrounding communities.
