Cannabis-infused cookies, tinctures and candies have been especially hit hard, with approximately one-third of its product removed from store shelves.

Other problems revealed (albeit on a smaller scale) by state-licensed testing firms are finding too-high levels of solvents, pesticides and bacteria, including salmonella and E. coli.

Within just eight weeks of testing, some 2,000 samples failed out of more than 11,000 Our L.A. marijuana product attorneys understand that in some of those instances, the product had to be destroyed, but a lot of the problems arose from issues with labeling, which are able to be fixed. Just for example, if a label on a container indicates a product has a potency level different than what’s on the label, the product can simply be relabeled and then move to market.

The state has argued that the stringent testing is accomplishing its intended purpose – identifying marijuana products like munchies, concentrates and buds that will be in some way not safe for smoking or eating.

These mandated state testing is new, and a spokesman for the bureau said some bumps along the way were anticipated and it would take time to go smoothly. Companies were given until the start of July to sell off all their stock that didn’t meet the state’s new testing standards.

However, as our marijuana business attorneys in Los Angeles are aware, a number of companies believe the testing standards simply go too far and present a burden that is unnecessarily costly. Some industry advocates which have been sharply critical of government regulations that force both cannabis farmers and producers to hit the nail on the small, arbitrary head with TCH levels, (the chemical in marijuana that causes one to experience a high). State standards require the concentration of this chemical to be within 10 percent of the amount on the label. But marijuana company executives say their products failed the tests even when they were the tiniest bit outside of range.

Some marijuana firms have taken to applying pressure on lawmakers, urging formation of a process by which companies could appeal lab results. That’s because even when the laboratory concedes a mistake, they still have no way to officially reverse the rating, which would allow growers and manufacturers to preserve the product – and not lose the investment they’ve made. No laboratory is going to be 100 percent perfect. Our cannabis lawyers believe that if mistakes are made, it’s only fair there is an avenue for recourse.

In September, a marijuana testing company lobbied with state regulators to expand their rules to allow a test the officials say can reveal a wide range of harmful elements like yeast and mold that aren’t currently on the list of harmful substances for which firms test.

The firm noted instances were mold was discovered on marijuana samples that passed state testing standards. They argue the state needs a bigger net to catch more things. The state Department of Health has said there are no verified reports of marijuana consumption that can be traced back to contaminants like mold or bacteria, though there were three anonymous complaints.

The company has seen examples where mold was on cannabis but the sample passed state tests.

Mislabeling failures accounted for approximately 65 percent of all product failures. Even distribution of THC in products in top priorities. Most of the buds that were tested – 90 percent – made it to market. However, the rejection rate for concentrates like waxes and oils was almost double. Many companies say it isn’t necessarily the quality testing about which they take issue, but rather the costs, which they say is severely straining their coffers as tests are not only expensive but inconsistent and slow-moving. Even a small outdoor marijuana farm in marijuana can expect to shell out as much as $10,000.

Bud Businesses Can’t Ignore Legal Snares, Sept. 28, 2018

The officer has the driver stand on a single leg, walk a straight line, recite the alphabet (starting with G), conduct an eyeball analysis. If the driver doesn’t perform as well as they should, the officer will come to court to testify about why they believe the driver wasn’t fit to drive. Criminal defense lawyers have long challenged these tactics, but they have still proven generally useful in drunk driving cases.

However, marijuana defense lawyers are increasingly successful at arguing that such tests aren’t an adequate indicator of whether someone is too impaired by cannabis to drive. There is little to no science to show that these standardized measures are effective in testing the sobriety of someone believed to be high on weed as opposed to drunk on alcohol.

Recently, a defense attorney took one such case to the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, arguing these tests shouldn’t be allowed as evidence in cases where someone is accused of marijuana DUI. She argued that where science has proven itself reliable, it should be allowed in as evidence. However, there has not yet been enough testing on marijuana impairment to know if these measures are in fact correlative indicators of marijuana intoxication.

NPR reported there is much at stake here because police in these cases often have very few alternatives. There is no existing roadside toxicology test that can definitively prove whether someone is too high to be driving the way a blood test or breathalyzer can show for sure that someone is far too drunk to be behind the wheel. Although there are a few states that have imposed a minimum level of THC in the body as indicative of impairment, so far, the scientific consensus is that this isn’t an accurate means of determining impairment because marijuana is fat soluble. That means traces of the main ingredient remain in the bloodstream long after a person has sobered up. So in essence, all a blood test does is tells you the person has consumed the drug some point in the past. But what is not clear from that result is whether the person consumed the drug an hour ago or a week ago.

Other evidence may be questionable too. For example, officers will often note that a drunk driver had the smell of alcohol on his breath. But again with marijuana, we know the smell of burnt marijuana can linger for days after it’s consumed, so that is not necessarily an accurate indicator either.

Prosecutors, though, insist that field sobriety testing is an accurate method of concluding whether someone is high.

In the past, police could usually just find that a driver possessed marijuana and arrest them for that to get them off the road, even if they didn’t have enough evidence to prove the driver was actually impaired. Now, that’s not an option in a growing number of states, including California.

Some have proposed not necessarily scrapping field sobriety tests, but rather finding more effective ones that pertain directly to marijuana DUI, as its effect on the body differs greatly from that of alcohol, for which field sobriety tests were designed.

SB 65 Would Ban Marijuana Use While Driving, Jan. 28, 2017, California Marijuana Lawyer Blog

Specifically, California’s state Treasurer John Chiang formulated a group of 16 bankers, marijuana industry leaders and elected officials to define the problem as it relates to banking and work on hammering out some type of solution. Meanwhile, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) penned a correspondence with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, asking for rules and guidance for banks and dealing with cannabis businesses.

The majority of banks, financial institutions and credit unions won’t work with the cannabis industry – even those who work in businesses that are ancillary to the industry, such as product testers or product suppliers. Growers and distributors function almost entirely on cash-based models. Meanwhile, California’s first recreational marijuana businesses are slated to open sometime in 2018, per the recently-approved Proposition 64, which legalized marijuana use for and distribution to adults over the age of 21. The state now has one year to work out some kind of banking services model that is going to be workable in the legal framework. The big issue, of course, is the federal law that outlaws marijuana for any purpose. It doesn’t appear federal officials are likely to budge on this issue anytime soon, as the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration has steadfastly refused to reclassify marijuana from its Schedule I status – maintaining it in the same danger class as heroin.

Because of this designation, banks, credit card companies and others won’t touch these ventures with a 100-foot pole, fearing they will be penalized for money laundering under federal statutes.

In 2013, the so-called “Cole Memo,” written by U.S. Deputy Attorney General James Cole, does give some insight into how financial institutions can work with marijuana businesses and still stay on the right side of the law. Still, that hasn’t resulted in large numbers of banks knocking down doors to work with providers of marijuana, despite the huge profits the industry is expected to rake in. It’s anticipated the industry will generate $8 billion during the first year it gets off the ground in 2018. That includes $7 million in profits, and the rest for state taxes.

All of this presents some safety and security concerns for new businesses. They are going to be dealing in a lot of cash, which is going to make them vulnerable to to the possibility of theft or robbery. It’s also possible that money laundering could become an issue at these companies, too, even those who want to do it the right way. Current laws will have them in some potentially tight legal spots. Our L.A. marijuana business attorneys recommend any individual or entity considering wading into the fray consult with an experienced lawyer first.

Although local officials are trying to get the federal government’s attention and movement on this, it’s unlikely we’ll see any major change or push in favor of marijuana businesses. Although marijuana is increasingly becoming a non-partisan issue, Republicans tend to view it less favorably than those on the left.

No federal officials attended Chiang’s most recent meeting, despite several being extended an invitation.

Report: Teens Now Find it Tougher Than Ever to Find Marijuana, Jan. 8, 2017, L.A. Marijuana Lawyer Blog

Yet there are many people who are desperately ill and in need of the drug as medicine. This has created an underground medical marijuana scene, a snapshot of which was recently seen in a new documentary series called Viceland. Dealers reportedly give away tens of thousands of pounds of cannabis every year in an effort to help relief physical pain and suffering of those in need.

Similar to the arguments against legalization in the U.S., those against allowing medical marijuana in the U.K. argue that the drug is tough to dose, has been linked to mental health problems and serves as a “gateway” drug.

One of the documentary’s primary subjects is a single father named Paul who suffers from serious headaches after a stroke 10 years ago. He illegally procures cannabis in order to help treat his symptoms – and it’s the only drug so far that has seemed to help. Although he is aware that he is putting his family in jeopardy, he described his migraines as debilitating. Without his medicine, he says, he’s unable to work or attend to his family’s needs. Ultimately, he wants to be the best father he can be.

Another subject of the piece, a dealer, doles out more than $20,000 worth of cannabis oil to help those grappling with severe and chronic pain. He creates the oil using leaves that have been discarded by cultivators. This process has so far resulted in in two explosions.

Both subjects talk about organizing a grassroots effort to organize for real change on this front.

Possession of marijuana is illegal in most countries per the International Opium Convention, a treaty that was signed in 1925. Still, just as in the U.S. some nations either don’t enforce it or openly violate it. Every country has its own caveats, so it’s really important if you’re traveling to educate yourself about the laws and the potential risks you take if you do choose to consume cannabis somewhere other than the U.S.

Supporters of legalization find there is generally tolerance in Mexico, Canada, Chile, Columbia, Jamaica, Germany and the Netherlands. But don’t expect to be able to smoke the drug out in public. A lot of countries have their own caveats. For example, some, like the U.S., consider it as illegal as heroin, but either don’t enforce it or don’t enforce it everywhere. Other countries, like the Netherlands and Uruguay, allow recreational use of the drug.

Traveling with marijuana, depending on where you are, is very risky, and could result in arrest, deportation or prison. It is illegal in the U.S., federal law prohibits possession, use or sale of marijuana, and carrying the drug across state lines can have serious consequences. Further, if you are entering a state that prohibits marijuana, you’re going to be subject to all the applicable laws and penalties of that state. And it’s not just marijuana. Paraphernalia, such as pipes, bongs and grinders can also put you at risk of arrest.

Our marijuana lawyers are here to help you fight these kinds of charges. We know that the patchwork of laws – in California, in the greater U.S. and globally – can be confusing and ever-changing. We will fight to ensure your rights are protected.

Study: Medical Marijuana Laws Linked to More Older Worker Participation, Nov. 16, 2016, California Marijuana Lawyer Blog

To be clear: The American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecologists state in no uncertain terms to abstain from both alcohol and marijuana. But we all know that many doctors have excused the occasional single glass of Cabernet later in pregnancy. Could having a few puffs of a joint soon be seen in the same way?

A recent report indicates that research on the effects of marijuana during pregnancy aren’t as concrete as some health care professionals may have let on. This certainly doesn’t mean we’re encouraging mothers-to-be to rush to their nearest dispensary to cure their nausea or other pregnancy symptoms. However, the research should come as an important reminder that there is much we still do not know.

The newest study, conducted by researchers at Washington University in the St. Louis School of Medicine, explored what the collective research on the issue has said so far. Study authors analyzed nearly three dozen pre-existing studies on use of cannabis during pregnancy. What they concluded is that, after controlling for tobacco, there wasn’t any link between a mother’s use of marijuana and negative outcomes for the babies. That included instances of preterm delivery and low birth weight.

Researchers do concede this does not conclusively prove medical marijuana is safe for pregnancy. However, they are encouraging public health officials and doctors to consider perhaps pivoting some of their efforts at prenatal health away from marijuana and instead look to substances we know for sure are harmful and also heavily used – namely, tobacco and alcohol.

There has been some criticism of the research, which was published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology. For example, some say the studies relied on by these researchers weren’t thorough enough to have accounted for all the possible side effects that marijuana during pregnancy might cause. Further, the study is limited to neonatal outcomes. It doesn’t delve into the effects that marijuana might have later in the child’s life.

Still, this is not to say women should be doomed to suffer with no relief from annoying and sometimes serious, debilitating ailments. Given that some women report pregnancy is the worst they have ever felt, there is certainly a demand to help them find a safe form of relief. Of course, anytime the side effects of certain substances are unknown, unless there are major benefits, doctors don’t advise using it. But while this newest study shouldn’t be taken as a green light for pregnant women to start using marijuana, there is evidence to suggest that marijuana, which is increasingly recognized as legitimate medicine, should be further studied for the way in which its properties could benefit pregnant women.

Medical Marijuana May be Best Solution to Painkiller Epidemic, Sept. 3, 3016, Los Angeles Marijuana Lawyer

At this time, approximately 1 in every 8 adults in the U.S. is smoking marijuana. That’s about 13 percent, and it’s almost double the number who answered in similarly in the affirmative just three years ago. In 2013, it was 7 percent of U.S. adults who reported being current marijuana users.

Overall, 43 percent of Americans say they have tried marijuana at some point, though the percentage of experimentation and regular use varied by respondents’ religion and age.

This is, of course, despite the fact that marijuana remains illegal under federal law. As it now stands, four states have legalized the drug for recreational purposes and half have some variation of medicinal marijuana law on the books.

Perhaps the news of increased marijuana use isn’t all that surprising, given that we now live in a world where both U.S. presidential candidates say they support laws that make marijuana available for medicinal use. Both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have said they will defer to states for purposes of policy-making on the issues of both recreational and medicinal use of marijuana.

But it’s sort of a chicken-or-the-egg issue: Are marijuana users more likely to avail themselves of marijuana now that it’s legal or are state lawmakers more willing to change marijuana policy because an increasing number of Americans now use the drug?

Part of it almost certainly has to do with the fact that as marijuana policy has loosened, more research on the drug has given credence to claims of its legitimacy as a form of medicine.

And it does seem that at least in Western states, which have been more progressive on the issue and have reduced restrictions on marijuana, are substantially more likely to have residents who cop to smoking marijuana than those in other parts of the country. Surveys have indicated that most Americans have supported legalization of marijuana since 2013.

At this time, approximately 4 in 10 (43 percent) adults say they have tried marijuana at some point in their lives. That’s a slight uptick from the 38 percent in 2013. Compare that to 1969, when 4 percent of adults admitted trying the drug.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the group most likely to experiment with the drug were young adults.

One in five adults under age 30 admit to trying it, which is almost double the rate that was noted in older adults. Among weekly church attendants. only 2 percent admitted to having ever tried it. Of those who attend church less frequently, only 7 percent admit to trying it. Among those who seldom or never attend religious services, that figure rises to 14 percent.

It should be noted that neither income nor education seemed to have much impact on whether a person was more likely or not to try the drug. Those who live in homes with an income of $30,000 or less were slightly more likely to report they currently use it, but not much.

As it now stands, we have nine states slated to vote this fall on whether to approve the recreational use and sale of marijuana. That means 2016 is likely to mark a significant legal shift. It would mean a total of nine states (up from four) could allow recreational use while another four would open the doors to medicinal use of the drug.

Survey: Republican Support for Marijuana Grows, August 6, 2016, California Marijuana Lawyer Blog

The company, Care By Design, is back in business, making its cannabis oil-infused products. Police likely didn’t expect the backlash when they raided the facility, which is run by a prominent, well-connected professional.

Authorities initially arrested Operator Dennis Hunter on charges of spearheading a meth lab-type operation. His bail was set at an eye-popping $5 million. The next day, hundreds of people gathered in front of the Sonoma County courthouse to protest the arrest. Local officials were hounded with a letter-writing campaign. A long-time, respected politician stepped in with his support. City officials then began weighing in.

Soon after, the district attorney in Sonoma County released a statement saying that she supported lawful medical cannabis production, and she was looking carefully at whether any laws were violated that endangered the environment or public safety. Forty-eight hours later, Hunter was released.

Our L.A. marijuana arrest lawyers know that in the end, this essentially wound up being a code enforcement action that involved 100 police officers. The dispensary agreed to make a number of adjustments to the operation in order to ensure compliance with industrial codes.

This incident is also indicative of the shift not just in public attitudes regarding marijuana, but also in the attitudes of prosecutors. State and federal attorneys were often eager to pursue large-scale cannabis operations for any possible offense they could find. This is not to say the risk is entirely eliminated; after all, marijuana remains a Schedule I narcotic, illegal under federal law, and this prosecutor only took the position she did after a public outpouring of support for the defendant.

Of course, laws shouldn’t be enforced according to who you know or how good your lawyer is, but sometimes, that’s the unfortunate reality of it, as we saw here. Maybe the charges against Hunter would have been ultimately dropped anyway, but the swiftness with which it happened speaks to the power of public opinion.

Care By Design released a statement saying it was working closely with investigators to resolve whatever code violations had been identified and to resume operations with full transparency. The statement noted that for some CBD patients, access to their products is “truly a matter of life or death.”

The raid had been led by the Santa Rosa Police Department, which seized financial paperwork, computers and thousands in cash before arresting the owner.

The company has been in business for years, and services tens of thousands of patients across California. It operates in a large commercial facility – for which it apparently did not have a proper permit – and extracts cannabis oil from raw plants using a process that involves pressured carbon dioxide.

Initially, Hunter’s bail was set at $5 million, reportedly because he once fled from police and was on the lam for four years, ending in 2002. That case, in which he was accused of growing 12,000 marijuana plants in Humboldt County, ended in a federal prison sentence. He opened CBD after his release. Now, it appears he is free to continue operating.

Marijuana Possession Arrests Up in NYC, Despite Decriminalization, June 14, 2016, Los Angeles Marijuana Lawyer Blog

Newsome said a change in the law is essential because of the utter failure of the so-called War on Drugs.

At a conference in Oakland, sponsored by the National Cannabis Industry Assn., approximately 2,000 entrepreneurs and industry activists nodded as Newsome described the existing drug policies in California and the U.S. as essentially a war on the poor and on minorities.

“It’s got to end,” Newsome said.

Newsome is eyeing a 2018 bid for governor. He said California has the advantage now that it didn’t have when it became the first state to legalize the drug for medicinal purposes back in 1996: Examples. As it stands, Colorado, Washington, Alaska and Oregon have all approved marijuana for recreational growers and users, with certain restrictions. We can look to see what has worked in those states – and what has not. And beyond that, Newsome said, “You are seeing that the sky is not falling.”

That’s a dig at those who act as if so many ills will befall California if voters approve recreational marijuana. For example, one of the top concerns voiced is that it will result in widespread teen use of the drug. But research has proven that is not the case. In fact, Colorado’s Department of Health recently released a survey of high school students statewide that showed marijuana use among youth had actually dropped – from 22 percent in 2011 (the year before recreational marijuana was approved and three years before it actually became available) to 21.2 percent in 2016.

In California, an initiative to approve recreational marijuana is close to being qualified. That much is expected. But will it pass? Newsome said it’s definitely not a sure thing. He warned supporters not to become complacent.

Newsome noted that while the movement has received substantial financial help from Facebook President Sean Parker, he isn’t going to be able to fund the entire campaign. Industry insiders and supporters need to step it up because, Newsome said, “There is a lot at stake.”

The measure to which he is specifically referring is the Adult Use of Marijuana Act, which is expected to be on the November 8th ballot. It was crafted on the basis of recommendations issued by the Newsome-created Blue Ribbon Commission on Marijuana Policy. The measure calls for:

• Allowing adults over age 21 to possess, transport and use up to 1 ounce of cannabis for purposes of recreation;
• Allow individuals to grow up to six plants.

The measure is supported by the Marijuana Policy Project, the Drug Policy Alliance and the California Cannabis Industry Assn. It is opposed by a number of law enforcement groups, including the California Police Chiefs Assn.

Cannabis Tech Development Keeping Pace, June 11, 2016, Los Angeles Marijuana Lawyer Blog

The measure was introduced by Assemblyman Jim Wood, the Democrat from Heraldsburg who pointed to a study by the University of California San Francisco indicating secondhand smoke from marijuana could result in damage to the cardiovascular system, similar to what has been identified with tobacco.

Although landlords already have the authority to prohibit smoking cigarettes or other tobacco products on their properties, this development is troubling for the fact that it involves medicine. Tobacco is not typically used for its medicinal properties. In fact, it has proven a massive public health threat. On the other hand, despite the fact marijuana is considered a Schedule I narcotic by the federal government, it has many known medicinal benefits.

Still, Wood called the smoking of the drug a “nuisance.” He said those who live in multifamily units should not be exposed to unwanted or toxic secondhand smoke.

Tenants would still be free to consume the drug in edible, pill or liquid form. The concern is the health risk the smoke causes to third parties.

It is known that secondhand tobacco smoke can be harmful to those nearby who breathe it in. Researchers at the UCSF Division of Cardiology say that dangerous chemicals are created any time dried plant material is burned. The effect of that on humans, researchers say, is that arteries may be impeded from carrying an adequate level of blood to the body systems. Worse, marijuana may have longer-lasting effects than even tobacco.

The landlord-tenant relationship can be a tenuous one as far as marijuana is concerned.

Landlords are generally allowed to evict tenants for engaging in illegal activity on site. Obviously in states where all marijuana is illegal, landlords have a great deal of power in these situations. But even in states like California that allow medical marijuana or others where recreational marijuana is allowed, landlords may still have the upper hand. That’s because cultivation/ possession/ use of marijuana remains a crime under federal law. Until that changes, landlords have the ability to write prohibition of the drug into the lease – regardless of what one’s prescription says.

Some landlords have been cautious about implementing these rules with regard to medical marijuana patients because they may fear an anti-discrimination lawsuit. But again, as long as the drug remains illegal at the federal level, cases accusing landlords of failure to provide reasonable accommodation for those with disability may not get far. This is especially true for taxpayer-subsidized housing, such as Section 8.

The same sort of principle would apply to marijuana cultivation on rented property.

Beyond that, enforcement of such rules will largely depend on the language contained in the lease. Generally, leases cannot be re-written mid-term. So if there isn’t a “No Smoking” clause already in the lease and this proposal becomes law, landlords may have a tough time initiating such a rule for those already living there. However, new leases could easily be subject to new rules.

The bill, AB 2300, was approved by the Assembly by a vote of 74-0 and will now be subject to scrutiny by the state senate.
