Thank you to all our amazing members who took the time to vote for us - we couldn't have done it without you!  The Green Cross has been cultivating a small herb garden in the front of our storefront over the summer. As Winter approaches and temperatures start dropping, we need to make use of these herbs. We welcome all members and neighbors to help yourself to clippings of these herbs. You are welcome to grab clippings at your convenience. Enjoy fresh herbs on us!  Safety Alert! As we discussed in last month's newsletter, there has been an increase in car break-ins in San Francisco as of late. In almost all cases, the items stolen are laptops, tablets or other high-end technology devices. Thieves are using technology to select their targets by looking for WiFi and Bluetooth signals broadcasted from these devices. Once they identify a vehicle with a laptop, they’ll follow the signal until the vehicle is left unattended. All it takes is a few seconds and the thieves are gone with their loot. When parking in San Francisco or near The Green Cross, please be mindful of this. Do not leave valuables in your vehicle or assume your laptop is safe in your trunk. All it takes is for a thief to smash in your windows and hit the trunk release lever to access your trunk. For more details on these break-ins, please check out the following articles: Burglars Really Do Use Bluetooth Scanners to Find Laptops and Phones How Easy Is It to Steal a Hidden Laptop From a Car? We hope this information will help you avoid becoming a victim of a needless theft.  We still need your help! As we mentioned previously, there is a national coin shortage happening in the U.S. right now as a result of the pandemic. Due to this shortage, The Green Cross has a very limited supply of coins and we're finding it extremely challenging to provide proper change to our members. As a cash-only business, we rely heavily on coins to complete member transactions. If you have any extra coins, we are more than happy to exchange them for paper bills. We would greatly appreciate it if you would bring them by our storefront location at your convenience. Our staff can assist you with counting the coins and translating them to the equivalent dollar amounts. In the event you have a large amount of coins to exchange, there might be short processing delays. However, we have a state-of-the-art counting machine ready to go to minimize extended wait times. If you're short on time, you're more than welcome to drop off your coins and we'll give you store credit or make a cash payment available for pick-up on your next visit. Thank you to everyone for your help on this!   We now offer discounts for purchasing flower in bulk. You can receive discounts for purchasing these bulk flower amounts: 1/4 oz.

In a video chat hosted by Green Enterprise last week, Schumer discussed his cannabis reform bill, which would federally deschedule the plant, reinvest tax revenue into communities most impacted by the drug war and fund efforts to expunge prior marijuana records. Read more » Why The 2020 Election Could Change Everything For The Cannabis Industry It’s clear that this election cycle represents the best chance for the cannabis industry to finally turn the corner with lawmakers. Assuming current polls about Joe Biden’s lead over Donald Trump holds true, it appears that Biden may just win the election. Of course, there are plenty of ifs, ands and buts here because, as everyone knows, Trump is throwing every complaint and conspiracy theory into the works in the hopes of convincing fence-sitters to help him get re-elected. Read more » Kamala Harris Promises To Decriminalize Marijuana and Expunge Records Tonight's vice presidential debate yielded little clarity, with Sen. Kamala Harris (D–Calif.) and Vice President Mike Pence skirting question after question. One exception: Harris's promise that a Biden-Harris administration would decriminalize marijuana. "We will decriminalize marijuana and we will expunge the records of those who have been convicted of marijuana," she said. The position is likely the strongest any major-party candidate for president or vice president has taken to date on the issue in such a prominent venue. Read more » Cannabis may help or hinder virus damage — or both, early studies find The COVID-19 pandemic began to make news over six months ago. And it wasn’t long before questions began to arise around cannabis use and the new virus. There were concerns over whether cannabis could increase infection rates, warnings against smoking, claims from brands that it could cure or prevent the illness, and debates over whether dispensaries should be considered “essential.” While we still don’t have answers to all our questions about cannabis and coronavirus, the past six months have brought more insight through scientific studies. These new studies shed some light on cannabis’ potential, but are still in very early phases — in animal and lab studies — rather than the human clinical trials that would more conclusively answer these questions.

 With car thefts on the rise in San Francisco, we want to take a moment to remind our members to be extremely careful when leaving your vehicle unattended. Don't leave valuables in plain sight or fail to lock your vehicle upon exiting.  We want to remind all our members to get a flu shot this year. Experts are saying the 2020 flu shot is more important than ever, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. A combination of both viruses, or one after the other, may mean bad news for your health, respiratory health and overall ability to recover. Experts are not sure what having both could mean for your health, so please err on the side of caution and get your influenza shot as soon as possible. For more information on the importance of getting a flu shot this year, please check out the following resources: 2020 Flu Shot Strategy: Get Yours Early In The Season Key Facts About Seasonal Flu Vaccine  We want to assure you that The Green Cross still takes COVID-19 very seriously, and values the safety and wellbeing of our members, staff and community as a whole. We put together the following Social Distancing Protocols at the start of the pandemic. We still follow these protocols very closely and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. In addition, we would like to remind you that The Green Cross sells PPE essentials, such as hand sanitizer, disposable masks, and protective goggles. Please check out the Other Accessories category on our Online Menu for a full list of available products. Stay up to date on COVID-19 and get the local resources you need here.  Help yourself and the planet by watching the movie What The Health, now available on Netflix! What the Health is the groundbreaking follow-up film from the creators of the award-winning documentary Cowspiracy. The film exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick. What The Health is a surprising, and at times hilarious, investigative documentary that will be an eye-opener for everyone concerned about our nation’s health and how big business influences it.

Read more » House Approves Marijuana Banking Protections For Third Time As Part Of New COVID Bill For the third time in just over a year, the House of Representatives has approved legislation that would protect banks that service state-legal marijuana businesses from being penalized by federal regulators. The text of the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act was included in a wide-ranging coronavirus relief bill that members approved on the floor on Thursday. This is the second time the House inserted the cannabis banking language in COVID-centric legislation that cleared the chamber after having previously passed it as a standalone bill. While the scope of the latest pandemic relief proposal was generally scaled back in an attempt to make it more palatable to the GOP-controlled Senate, the marijuana provisions remained intact. Read more » Cannabis industry may get tax break in 2021A voter-approved tax on cannabis sales in San Francisco is set to go into effect next year, but one supervisor has proposed giving the industry a break. Supervisor Rafael Mandelman introduced legislation last week that would postpone imposing The City’s cannabis tax until after the 2021 tax year. “Now is no time to be imposing a new tax on small businesses,” Mandelman said in a statement to the San Francisco Examiner. “By deferring the Cannabis Business Tax by one year, we can help stabilize these businesses and provide time for the state to adjust its tax structure and for the Biden Administration (we hope) to update federal policies.” Read more » We wish you all have a fantastic Friday and upcoming weekend!

Sincerely, Kevin Reed Founder & President The Green Cross  Dear Green Cross Members, Friends & Family, With Labor Day Weekend approaching, Fall just around the corner, and school starting up again, we're all adjusting to a new normal. We know many of you are learning to navigate distanced learning, or manage demanding work schedules while caring for children or family members as the pandemic surges on. It's been a stressful year for everyone, with many disappointing turns. The good news is that we're all in this together, and with every passing day, we grow closer to putting this all behind us. Here at The Green Cross, we remain hopeful and look forward to continuing to serve our valued community during these difficult times. Cannabis has so many amazing healing properties with relaxation benefits, which we all need more than ever right now. If you're looking for a way to unwind at the end of a stressful day, cannabis is the way to go. We have many exciting new products hitting the shelves this month. Our top notch staff members are more than happy to make recommendations on products that would help alleviate anxiety and bring calmness to your busy lives. We truly appreciate each and every one of you, and we thank you for your ongoing patronage and patience with us over the past several months. Keep reading for more details on how you can take advantage of price drops, specials and incoming products. We hope to see you at The Green Cross soon!  We still need your help! As we mentioned in an email on August 14, there is a national coin shortage happening in the U.S. right now as a result of the pandemic. Due to this shortage, The Green Cross has a very limited supply of coins and we're finding it extremely challenging to provide proper change to our members. As a cash-only business, we rely heavily on coins to complete member transactions. If you have any extra coins, we are more than happy to exchange them for paper bills. We would greatly appreciate it if you would bring them by our storefront location at your convenience. Our staff can assist you with counting the coins and translating them to the equivalent dollar amounts. In the event you have a large amount of coins to exchange, there might be short processing delays. However, we have a state-of-the-art counting machine ready to go to minimize extended wait times. If you're short on time, you're more than welcome to drop off your coins and we'll give you store credit or make a cash payment available for pick-up on your next visit.

The forthcoming vote would mark the first time since the passage of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, which placed cannabis in the same category as heroin as a Schedule I controlled substance, that a Congressional chamber has voted to remove marijuana from its prohibitive classification. “Passage of The MORE Act is essential in order to truly right the wrongs of federal marijuana criminalization, and to once and for all allow the majority of states that have legalized cannabis for either medical or adult-use to embrace these policies free from the threat of undue federal prosecution or interference,” NORML Deputy Director Paul Armentano said.

A push to regulate CBD in food, via a last-minute amendment to an unrelated bill, died despite promising negotiations with Governor Gavin Newsom’s administration, its sponsor told Cannabis Wire, while AB 1872, a budget bill that would provide “tax certainty” for 2021, is headed to Newsom’s desk.

Sincerely, Kevin Reed Founder & President The Green Cross  Dear Green Cross Members, Friends & Family,
We need your help! As you may have heard, there is a national coin shortage happening in the U.S. right now as a result of the pandemic. Due to this shortage, The Green Cross has a very limited supply of coins and we're finding it extremely challenging to provide proper change to our members. As a cash-only business, we rely heavily on coins to complete member transactions. If you have any extra coins, we are more than happy to exchange them for paper bills. We would be greatly appreciative if you would bring them by our storefront location at your convenience. Our staff can assist you with counting out the coins and translating them to the equivalent dollar amounts. Thank you in advance for your assistance with this. Have a wonderful weekend and we hope to see you at The Green Cross soon! Sincerely, Kevin Reed Founder & President The Green Cross |
