Dear Green Cross Members, Friends & Family,
As of 8 am this morning, The Green Cross is open for business again. Last night, Mayor Breed announced that cannabis businesses are considered essential and gave us the green light to reopen today with our normal hours of operation - 8 am to 10 pm daily, seven days a week. We want to assure you we still take the COVID-19 health crisis very seriously, and have already put new procedures into effect for the safety and health of our staff, members and community. The San Francisco Office of Cannabis has put the following guidelines in place for cannabis businesses, which we are strictly adhering to:
We hope you can understand why these measures are important and necessary right now. Thank you in advance for your understanding during this difficult time. Warm Regards, Kevin Reed Founder & President The Green Cross Dear Green Cross Members, Friends & Family,
We regret to inform you The Green Cross has made the difficult decision to close our doors and temporarily discontinue services until further notice, effective at 3 PM today. Mayor Breed is expected to announce a "shelter in place" order for all residents of San Francisco, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Marin, Contra Costa and Alameda counties at 1 PM today. The order will go into effect at midnight tonight from now until April 7. This order is made an effort to impede the spread of COVID-19 in our Bay Area communities. For more information on the order, please view the San Francisco Chronicle article outlining the newly announced restrictions here. We are still unclear whether The Green Cross will be allowed to remain open during this time and provide medicine to our valued members. If we are able to open our doors again, we will continue to communicate via email to our valued members. Please continue to stay home, practice social distancing, and take all necessary precautions during these challenging and unprecedented times. We take the health and safety of our members and community very seriously, and while we're disappointed to temporarily close, we will be back bigger and stronger than ever as soon as we can. Thank you in advance for understanding. Be kind to one another - we'll all get through this together. One love! Warm Regards, Kevin Reed Founder & President The Green Cross Dear Green Cross Members, Friends & Family, Firstly, we want all our valued members to know we take the Coronavirus (COVID-19) very seriously, and are taking many precautions to protect our members and staff alike. Please keep reading for more details on what measures we've put in place to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 in our community. Going forward, you are no longer required to purchase an ounce of a single strain in order to take advantage of the 10% off discount on this item. You can now mix and match strains, as long as they total 1 oz., in order to get the 10% off discount. After much deliberation and in light of recent Coronavirus developments, The Green Cross is forced to reevaluate our 4/20 plans in an effort to avoid large crowds. Unfortunately, we've canceled our food truck plans for that day. We will, however, still offer amazing door prizes, which we'll announce in our April newsletter. Stay tuned for more details. Thank you for understanding.  Here are the air purification machines The Green Cross has installed to protect you:

Here’s what we know about cannabis and this novel coronavirus. Stop sharing joints, blunts, and bongs while coronavirus is spreading. The puff-and-pass customs surrounding cannabis are among the greatest pleasures of the plant. But passing around a joint is is a good way to spread any virus, including COVID-19. For now, stick to your own supply and offer a friendly elbow bump.

Alabama is one of just 17 states where medical marijuana is illegal, part of a dwindling coalition of holdout states in the Southeast and Midwest. But a new bill in the state Senate could potentially change that. SB 165, which would create the compassion act, would pave the way for the state to legalize certain forms of medical marijuana, and create programs to grow, administer and tax it. But even if the bill, sponsored by state Sen. Tim Melson, R-Florence, passes, you shouldn’t expect to see anyone legally smoking weed in the state.

The dirty little secret of the California cannabis industry is that no one’s making as much money as they thought they would. A recent Office of the Controller’s cannabis report shows that after peaking in the second quarter of 2018, local sales went down — eventually plunging back down to pre-recreational-use levels — for the next three fiscal quarters.

No one wants to be stuck desperately scouring the beach for a dealer, only to spend $50 on a couple grams of shake. It’s a task that’s becoming slightly easier with countries around the world loosening their cannabis laws. Both Canada and Uruguay have fully legalized recreational weed, along with several U.S. states. And destinations like Amsterdam and Jamaica, known for their cannabis culture, welcome pot tourists..

Those are just a few of cannabis legalization Proposition 64’s impacts after two years of commercial sales. Passed in 2016, Prop 64 earmarks all cannabis tax revenue—less regulatory costs—for public health, the environment, and public safety. On Jan. 14, Gov. Gavin Newsom announced cannabis tax revenue social allocations totaling $332.8 million for the coming fiscal year 2020-2021.Read more » Why smoking weed feels different as you age Throughout my 20s, I tried weed only a handful of times. I experimented with different strains, from indica to sativa and different forms, from joints to edibles. All of them would send me into a paranoid thought-loop. Then, at age 29, I tried a low-THC strain, knowing it might be less likely to cause anxiety. It actually didn't make me anxious at all. A few weeks later, a friend offered me a few puffs of a very high-THC strain, which I expected would send me back into my old thought patterns — but it actually just made me feel happy and creatively inspired.
