***Cannabis Vaporizer Top Five Research for Dispensaries
High Times recently tested over 100 vaporizers and came out with their top five list for flower and concentrate vaporizers. In the article, they stated that flower vaporizers outsell concentrate vaporizers. I have included the top five of each. Interesting to note that Atmos & Cloud is not included, which are some of the brands most people think of.

***Edibles Safety Sheet Handout for Dispensaries
I created an edibles safety handout sheet for your dispensary, which will be necessary for you to give out to your patients to make sure, we do not have any negative consequences from uneducated edibles consumers.
****Division and Southern Nevada Advertisement Rules All In One Document
I put the Division and Southern Nevada advertisement rule requirements in one document to assist your MME.
*** Medical Marijuana Desk Reference Signal Bay Must Buy Resource
The Medical Marijauan Desk Reference was generously given to me by Signal Bay to review and it will be a great resource for your budtenders and managers. When a client comes into your dispensary and states that they have a certain medical condition, you can look it up and have medical research to back up cannabis as a treatment option. I have also found it in invaluable for doing research for articles that I write for Vegas Cannabis Magazine, Senior Voice, and Elevate.
***MJ Freeway Free Webinars
MJ Freeway has a lot of free webinars that include a multiplicity of topics from women in cannabis, compliance, and 280E tax suggestions.
***Cultivation Eye Wear
This cultivation eye wear company also includes prescription eyewear. You can also look “fly” when walking around your bright HID lights.
***MJ Charts Helps You Determine Demand & Price for Cannabis
MJ Charts aggregates from multiple websites specific cannabis ingestion products and strains so you can make sure you are cultivating and dispensing what the market wants. The majority of cannabis tourists to Las Vegas are going to be from Southern California. By searching Los Angeles, the most popular products are OG & Fruit flavored flower strains, “Shatter” being the most popular concentrate, and capsules, THC tinctures, and edibles (60-89 mg). The top 4 strains are Reserva Privada OG, Alien OG, OG Kush, and Diablo OG in Los Angeles.
This could be an incredible tool for MMEs in Nevada trying to gauge what they are growing, producing, or should be on their shelf at their dispensary.
***Hempcon Article in Review Journal & Editorial Response
We must continue to fight against injustice on the cannabis community as MMEs. A plant that someone can grow in their backyard and that has a multitude of medical benefits cannot continue to be illegal federally for long.

**** Medical Marijuana: From Theory to Practical Application May 5th Drug War Propaganda Notes
On Tuesday, May 5th there was a training that was supposed to be a balanced presentation to law enforcement and medical professionals. It was far from that, causing many people to walk out because of the ridiculousness of it all. Below is a copy of my notes from that seminar for a laugh or two.
Training Notes:
***Budtender Dispensary Training How To Use Cannabis
This is a really good basic informational sheet from American’s for Safe Access to be used as part of your budtender education.
***Elevate & Vegas Cannabis Magazine Please Purchase Advertisement And Support Cannabis Media
Please support these cannabis magazines with your advertisement dollars. They are both instrumental in the Nevada marijuana community by informing patients, future patients, and out of town guests who are cannabis patients. They also normalize cannabis consumption for the Nevada community and the world. It is going to take a good 6 months of continued advertisement for your brand to really resonate with consumers.
***Oaksterdam Training June 12-15th Las Vegas
I have gone through the Oaksterdam training and it is one of the best that I have been through. I would highly recommend it if you have the time or money to invest for your staff or yourself. There is also a job fair there on June 14th for those who may be interested.
***Reggae in the Desert June 13th – Largest Cannabis Friendly Party in Vegas!
Reggae in the Desert is one of the largest ongoing cannabis friendly events and a great place to buy a booth to market you cannabis service, product, or brand to the community.
****July 21st-23rd Champs Conference
If you need to purchase items for sale for your Las Vegas dispensary, this is one of the best places to do so. It is also loads of fun and a chance to find out what the newest products out there for cannabis are.
***ASD Market Week Convention August 2-5th – Smoking Accessories & Free Marketing Education
This Las Vegas Convention Center features a large smoke shop area and has multiple free marketing classes for MMEs. It is free to attend if you register ahead of time as a buyer.
***Organic Dab Cup November 20th-22nd
One of the most fun and enjoyable experiences as a consumer of cannabis is to go to a cannabis cup event in your city or for tourists to visit here to attend a cup. We have had the Red Dragon Brothers Cup, the Secret Cup, and the BUS Cup in Las Vegas as private events in the past. These have to be attended as private events due to public consumption of cannabis being illegal.
