New Member Database at The Green CrossPlease be understanding as we complete our switch over to a new member database and operating system with more state-mandated features that will allow us to comply with California's Medicinal and Adult Use Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA). Don’t hesitate to tell us what you like and dislike about this new system, and we will do our best to make it as simple and user-friendly as possible. As a result, our website is now mobile-friendly and there's no longer a need to use The Green Cross app. Forgot Your Password?Since changing over our delivery menu and sign-up form, we've received member emails about resetting your password. In order to reset your password if forgotten, please enter your email address on the login page and click 'Forgot Password.' You will then receive an email or text to the associated email address or cellphone number with a temporary password. You can then use this password to login to your account. Once inside, you will need to click 'Forgot Password' in order to create a new permanent password. We know change is never easy, but appreciate your patience with the new system. If any issues arise, please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected] and we will do our best to help you troubleshoot. CA Marijuana Regulation Moves Forward![]() Senate Bill No. 94, California's Medicinal and Adult Use Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MAUCRSA), was approved by Governor Brown on June 27, 2017. The bill repeals the Medical Cannabis Regulation and Safety Act (MCRSA) and incorporates certain provisions of the MCRSA in the licensing provisions of the Control, Regulate, and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (“AUMA” aka Proposition 64). To read the full bill text, please click here. In addition, we recommend keeping a look out for the release of California's emergency rules on cannabis, which are expected to be issued today. Donate to Hurricane Harvey Relief Efforts![]() As you're all aware, a devastating hurricane hit Texas this past week and a considerable rescue operation in effect along the coastline. Floodwaters continued to rise throughout the state's Gulf Coast, affecting some of the most populous cities in the state and leaving tens of thousands of people without shelter, food or electricity. The disastrous affects of this storm raged throughout the area, and many reputable charities are seeking donations to help victims of this mass devastation. For a comprehensive list of local and national humanitarian organizations to consider donating to, please read the following NY Times article: Where to Donate to Harvey Victims (and How to Avoid Scams) In addition, Mark Zuckerberg is currently matching contributions made to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy up to $1 million. Donations can be made directly on their Facebook page.

They have made the following statement about taking this drastic measure: "Instagram does not allow people or organizations to use the platform to advertise or sell marijuana, regardless of the seller’s state or country. This is primarily because most federal laws, including those of the United States, treat marijuana as either an illegal substance or highly regulated good. Our policy prohibits any marijuana seller, including dispensaries, from promoting their business by providing contact information like phone numbers, street addresses, or by using the “contact us” tab in Instagram Business Accounts. We do however allow marijuana advocacy content as long as it is not promoting the sale of the drug. Dispensaries can promote the use and federal legalization of marijuana provided that they do not also promote its sale or provide contact information to their store." It's truly unfortunate they have taken this stance, especially in states where medical and recreational cannabis are now legal. If in the unlikely event you know Mark Zuckerberg or have connections at Instagram and/or Facebook, please ask them to reconsider this policy and reinstate accounts for upstanding cannabis businesses like The Green Cross. *All Labor Day Specials only available at The Green Cross Storefront on Monday, September 4, while supplies last.
