Published in the Sacramento Bee
After he was laid off as a supervisor for a fiber optics company, John Stenner started growing his own marijuana two years ago because he couldn't afford to buy medical pot he uses for pain.
Now proud of his home-grown "Grape Ape" and "Blue Dream" pot strains, he turned out Saturday at a unique seminar on how to get into the legal cannabis business.
He showed up at the Medical Cannabis Sacramento Seminar for three hours of classes on marijuana laws, pot dispensary operations, taxation rules and some tips on how to make nice with the police.
The crowd that filled a small classroom for the $125 seminar included people who grow for themselves and want to become medical cultivators. Others looked to pot as an opportunity for relief from the down economy.
The forum, sponsored by a medical marijuana advocacy group, Crusaders for Patients Rights, drew the likes of Eric Weber, an El Dorado County tomato, cucumber and peach farmer who hopes to turn to a new cash crop.
And there was Don Puglisi, an ex-San Diego County real estate broker who moved to Shingle Springs after the mortgage crisis because "the recession took my business away from me."
Lanette Davis, whose family operates Canna Care medical cannabis dispensary, and lawyer David K. Brock reviewed marijuana case law and guidelines from the state attorney general's office.
They answered questions from Stenner, 42, of Sacramento on how to get a seller's permit – and pay sales tax – and on the rules for transporting weed to the market.
Brock said anyone growing or transporting pot should carry documentation on medical users they serve. And Davis cautioned: "Use common sense. I personally wouldn't have 70 pounds of marijuana in my truck driving down the street. I just wouldn't."
She told a man inquiring about a business license to open a dispensary in Sacramento about the city's moratorium against new pot shops. The city, with 39 registered dispensaries, is considering capping the number at 12 and imposing strict requirements on their operations.
Davis advised would-be medical pot entrepreneurs to follow the law. She suggested that those opening marijuana businesses invite their friendly neighborhood narcotics officers to visit.
"If you're doing everything right and you're proud of it, bring them over," she said.
Stenner, who said he bought books on growing pot, combed the Internet and ultimately learned "by trial and error," said he'll look elsewhere if he can't open a dispensary in Sacramento or in the county.
He said losing his job "forced me to look at another way" to make a living. Having learned to grow his own pot, he said, "I need to make a legal business out of it."
Weber, who treats himself with marijuana for knee surgeries and broken discs from all-terrain vehicle and surfing mishaps, began growing for himself and three others.
He wants to provide pot to dispensaries – or sell it on the open market if California votes in November to legalize marijuana for adults over 21.
"People are going to need good cannabis," he said.

Medical Marijuana Inc Forms Medical Products Division and Research Committee to Examine Medical and Health Benefits of Cannabis-Based Products
LOS ANGELES, CA, Mar. 17, 2010 (Marketwire) --
LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/17/10 -- Medical Marijuana Inc (PINKSHEETS: MJNA) is pleased to announce that Stuart W. Titus, PhD has been selected to head the Medical Marijuana Inc Search Committee to formulate a full-scale Medical Products Division. This Division's focus is to research and develop the medicinal, health and wellness benefits of a variety of cannabis-based products.
Medical Marijuana Inc plans to explore the development of proprietary products into the pharmacological marketplace. The company plans to institute medically based research to eventually formulate medical products that will withstand the FDA approval process. Though this is a futuristic goal and the medical approval process is a lengthy one, various stages of progress on medicinal properties will be made public over time.
Other products that are perhaps less "medical" in nature will also be considered by the Division for public marketing. Progress reports will also be regularly made on the development of products that may foster health and wellness benefits. All products require certain studies be formally conducted in order to make claims of any benefit so derived and the Company's Medical Products Division will be so charged with evaluation and study.
"I am very pleased to be on the cutting edge of research into the numerous derivatives of a widely used product that is gathering acceptance by the public, certain State and even Federal Legislators. We feel there is significant opportunity to work with medical and pharmaceutical interests to bring forth products that may well establish a new paradigm in medicine. Our division will hopefully add one piece to the full scope of the business with Medical Marijuana Inc," said Dr. Titus at company headquarters this afternoon.

Nevadans for Sensible Marijuana Laws
The initiative sponsored by Nevadans for Sensible Marijuana Laws proposes to the voters of Nevada “An Initiative to Establish a Regulated Market for Marijuana.” This initiative seeks statutory changes to the Nevada Revised Statutes in order to establish a system to regulate marijuana in a manner similar to alcohol.
Message from Medical Marijuana, Inc. Owner Bruce Perlowin
The first Medical Marijuana, Inc. Educational Symposium and Expo in the Los Angeles Convention Center surpassed our wildest expectations (well not really – I am pretty wild (in a good way) when it comes to marketing) with people attending from 12 states and 3 countries. The attendance was over 200 people with about 60 tickets being sold (lots of celebrities and pioneers in the medical marijuana movement were our guest at this ground breaking event). The media which was also invited showed up in force and we did about 6 interviews over the weekend with 3 video cameras rolling that captured the entire event (stay tuned for video clips coming soon to a website near you). The expert speakers were awesome, well received and people in the audience were fully engaged in taking notes the entire time.
When we had the licensing agreements for local Center partners ready to hand out – over 35 attendees took copies of them – and we are following up with those potential local Center partnerships this week. Products were sold at the event demonstrating another profit center for MJNA, the Centers and future Expos - and basically the event surpassed our greatest hopes – it was an incredible success – especially in light of the fact we only promoted it for 7 to 10 days before the event took place.
Stay tuned for news of the next Seminars in a city near you. They are planned in multiple cities simultaneously, on most weekends throughout 2010 and beyond.
Our next events are scheduled for Las Vegas, Nevada on February 27th and 28th and in Orlando, Florida on March 27th and 28th.

Medical Marijuana Inc. Endorses President Obama’s Signing of a Federal Law Removing Restrictions on the Use of Medical Marijuana in the Nation
LOS ANGELES, CA — (Marketwire) — 12/21/09 — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: MJNA) endorsed today the unprecedented act of President Obama signing into federal law the removal of restrictions on the use of medical marijuana in the nation’s capitol, which underscores MJNA’s foresight in becoming the first US public company to emerge, providing solutions to this revolutionary growth industry.
On Thursday, December 10th, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a $1.1 trillion omnibus spending measure which included a measure that provides federal funding for the District of Columbia’s medical marijuana program. This was quickly followed in an unusual Sunday vote of the Senate. Although the District’s citizens had overwhelmingly approved the use of medical marijuana in a referendum in 1998, it had been languishing due to restrictions placed on it by Congress. A House-Senate conference committee agreed to remove a handful of controversial, long-standing riders from the D.C. budget, including language that had effectively banned medical marijuana use (the so-called “Barr Amendment”).
In acknowledgement of this ground breaking enactment and in furtherance of its continuing vision, Medical Marijuana Inc is pleased to announce the Nationwide Launch of its Educational Seminar series beginning Jan 16 & 17, 2010 in Los Angeles, CA. Tickets can be acquired via http://MedicalMarijuanaInc.com
Don’t miss MMI's educational seminars with great speakers who are industry leaders and insiders. A wide range of topics will be addressed in a formal but fun and entertaining way. Topics include legalization, decriminalization, compliance solutions, business models, opportunities, medicinal benefits, debunking marijuana myths, simple home gardening techniques, green agricultural technologies and much more.

ABOUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA INC
Medical Marijuana Inc recognizes the vast and unequaled opportunities that exist in the rapidly expanding medical marijuana industry. The scientific recognition of marijuana as a powerful medicine, and as an effective, non-narcotic pain reliever, has brought legalized marijuana use to the forefront of mainstream discussion thus opening the door for safe and lucrative investment opportunities.
The growing amount of states that have legalized the use of medical marijuana have yet to establish a system for the legalized commercial production and sale of the medicine. It is likely that other states will follow California’s basic lead as the Golden State more specifically defines the regulations and protocols that are shaping the supply-side of the legal medical marijuana sector.

The growing amount of states that have legalized the use of medical marijuana have yet to establish a system for the legalized commercial production and sale of the medicine. It is likely that other states will follow California’s basic lead as the Golden State more specifically defines the regulations and protocols that are shaping the supply-side of the legal medical marijuana sector.

Medical Marijuana Inc Completes First Income Producing Educational Seminars
Medical Marijuana Inc (PINKSHEETS: MJNA) completed its initial two day weekend Educational Seminar held Saturday and Sunday November 7 and 8 in Ukiah, CA.
Attendees arrived from Oregon, Arizona, and California, including San Francisco and Mendocino County, which is ground zero in the Medical Marijuana debate.
Noted speakers included attorney and hemp expert Don Wirtshafter, Editor of Mendocino Country Journal, Richard Johnson, Airoponics cultivation expert Wayne Zallen, trademark and patent consultant John Blue, MJNA – CEO Bruce Perlowin, and other speakers in various categories in the medical marijuana industry.
The Educational Seminar was well received and recorded on video for future webinar ventures. “This signals the beginning of a new revenue stream as MJNA continues the weekend seminar series in Ukiah — the county seat of Mendocino County — until the end of the year — with an even broader forum on the Medical Marijuana industry, which goes above and beyond the traditional curriculum offered in this arena,” said Bruce Perlowin, the CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc.
Medical Marijuana Inc.’s educational seminar series continues this weekend at The Discovery Inn located at 1340 State St in Ukiah, CA, beginning at 10 am on Saturday and Sunday, November 14 and 15 and will continue every weekend until year’s end excluding the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday weeks. Included in this schedule is free Informational Seminars every Tuesday and Thursday night at 7 pm — also at The Discovery Inn.
Attendees will be lectured by scheduled speakers including noted Oakland NORML attorney James Silva, who was in attendance at the oral argument and will elaborate on the pending “Kelly” decision. “Kelly,” in layman’s terms, is a potential ordinance changing the California “plant limitation” a landmark case to be decided in the near future.
Mendocino Country Journal editor Richard Johnson will follow Mr. Silva and engage in a dialogue of topics which will also include the latest and most pertinent California city, county and state ordinances and court cases. MJNA takes pride in staying on the leading edge of consulting, which begins with city council and court decisions, particularly in “ground zero,” Mendocino County.
Cultivation modules will include airoponics, an alternative to outdoor grows, and a potentially integral aspect of Medical Marijuana cultivation as it is accomplished in a closed environment. Traditional hydroponics and outdoor grow modules are also featured at these events.
Business protocol modules will include Marketing, Accounting and Tax Compliance, a detailed view of MJNA’s Tax Remittance Card and Closed Loop Inventory Management Control System, Trademarks and Patents and Barter and their relevance to Medical Marijuana, Extended Caregiver Models for Prop 215 compliance, and Peripheral Industries from Cannabis Kitchens to Cannabis Magazines.

ABOUT MEDICAL MARIJUANA INC
Medical Marijuana Inc is the first public company to recognize the vast and unequaled opportunities that exist in the rapidly expanding medical marijuana industry. The scientific recognition of marijuana as a powerful medicine, and as an effective, non-narcotic pain reliever, has brought legalized marijuana use to the forefront of mainstream discussion thus opening the door for safe and lucrative investment opportunities.
Tax Collection
The Stored Value Platform System will provide verifiable solutions to manage the difficult task of revenue and taxation collection. The “Point of Sale” (POS) system will recognize the dispensary’s tax ID number, state and local tax rates and then provide “Automated Clearing House” (ACH) settlement of the taxes to the proper financial institutions. The customers of the dispensary are issued a plastic debit card or medical revenue card. The ease of access to certifiably secure transactions lessens the risk of loss at each level of the transaction.
Internal Management
All collectives/dispensaries in the U.S. are cash businesses. This presents a number of challenges. Dispensary owners risk employee theft and possible competition for sales with unsupervised employees. Our stored value card also eliminates the risks of carrying cash. For the investor looking to open more than one dispensary, this card allows him the ease of mind of knowing all transactions are accounted for in all of his locations.
Solutions
Medical Marijuana, Inc. is developing a suite of solutions to deliver an efficient and secure infrastructure for the Medical Marijuana Industry that will provide the tools to industry operators to effectively manage their businesses with the confidence that they are in full compliance.
