Humbled by an ongoing market correction and subsequent cash crunch, many cannabis companies faced a tough year ahead — even without a global pandemic to contend with. Throughout the terrible lows of 2020, though, there were unexpected flickers of optimism. As this infamous year winds to a close, the industry will head into 2021 propelled by titanic shifts in the perception of cannabis in the U.S. and unprecedented political tailwinds.

Gavin Newsom announced that the state’s current secretary of state, Alex Padilla, will fill the vacancy left by Sen. Kamala Harris, who will be sworn in as Vice President Harris on Jan. 20, 2021. The appointment bodes well for cannabis law reform on both the national and state level. Sen. Padilla is expected to offer at least equal support for legalization as Harris—if not more. As senator, Harris sponsored the broadest bill yet to end marijuana prohibition, the MORE Act. That bill would delete the type of marijuana crimes she once prosecuted as San Francisco District Attorney, and later as California State Attorney General. Read more » Congressional Ban On Mailing E-Cigarettes Appears To Cover Marijuana Vapes The House and Senate passed a large-scale spending bill on Monday that includes a provision to restrict how electronic cigarettes can be sold online and shipped—and it could have an impact on the marijuana industry, too. The text of the proposal uses an expansive definition of what qualifies as an “electronic nicotine delivery system” that seems to include products that don’t even contain nicotine.

Gavin Newsom’s senior adviser on cannabis business said Thursday. The rate of legal sales has increased this year, and in the third quarter the state fetched $306.7 million in excise, cultivation and sales taxes, bringing the overall year-to-date total to $777 million, said Nicole Elliot, who delivered the keynote during a virtual regional cannabis conference sponsored by the North Bay Business Journal.

The new order takes effect Saturday, and its restrictions will be implemented only if any of five specific California regions see ICU bed capacities drop below 15% – a threshold not yet met by the five regions.

Cheers, Kevin Reed Founder & President The Green Cross Dear Green Cross Members, Friends & Family,

Here at The Green Cross, we have taken many precautions to provide you with a safe member experience. We follow all established CDC and SF Health Department guidelines to ensure your health and safety. We put together the following Social Distancing Protocols at the start of the pandemic and will continue to follow them closely for the foreseeable future. Please feel free to email us directly should you have any specific concerns you'd like us to address. If you have any symptoms of illness or have had contact with someone diagnosed with COVID-19, we kindly request that you remain home for the safety and wellbeing of fellow members, our staff and the community as a whole. We look forward to seeing you at The Green Cross soon. Stay safe.

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 number 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.

But thanks to an exemption from Supervisor Rafael Mandelman, the law will not apply to cannabis smoking, and pot smokers can still fire up inside their units. Cannabis users were particularly opposed to the ban because smoking cannabis in public is illegal, and they would have been left with no legal place to burn one. Mandelman’s broad exemption for all cannabis smokers was approved by the board by an 8-3 vote, and with the amendment in place, Yee’s indoor smoking ban then passed with a 10-1 vote.

According to Law360, the city’s Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a delay of the new tax until the end of 2021. The tax was slated to go into effect in January 2021. The new tariff, approved by voters in 2018, is a sales tax on all marijuana products at 2.5% on gross receipts up to $1 million and at a 5% rate on receipts beyond $1 million. Read more » U.N. Reclassifies Cannabis as a Less Dangerous Drug A United Nations commission voted on Wednesday to remove cannabis for medicinal purposes from a category of the world’s most dangerous drugs, a highly anticipated and long-delayed decision that could clear the way for an expansion of marijuana research and medical use. The vote by the Commission for Narcotic Drugs, which is based in Vienna and includes 53 member states, considered a series of recommendations from the World Health Organization on reclassifying cannabis and its derivatives. But attention centered on a key recommendation to remove cannabis from Schedule IV of the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs — where it was listed alongside dangerous and highly addictive opioids like heroin.

Scientists from the Lambert Initiative have shown that a medically active component of cannabis does not impact driving ability and moderate THC intoxication lasts a few hours, with implications for drug-driving laws and managing medical cannabis. A landmark study on how cannabis affects driving ability has shown that cannabidiol (CBD), a cannabis component now widely used for medical purposes, does not impair driving, while moderate amounts of the main intoxicating component tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) produce mild driving impairment lasting up to four hours.

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.
