Medical Marijuana

A bipartisan proposal seeking a middle ground in the debate over medical marijuana. Hemp regulation hit the Florida Legislature this week.

On Monday, Democratic Rep. Andrew Learned of Brandon. Republican Rep. Spencer Roach of Fort Myers introduced HB 679, which they described in an accompanying press note as the “first major update” to Florida’s medical statutes since voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional amendment five years ago.

“We are working to deliver significant cost savings for patients, make the program more user-friendly and at the same time ensure safety for both patients and our children,” Learned said.

The bill, which bears some similarity to failed proposals Roach filed last Legislative Session, would, among other things, close “loopholes” related to synthetic marijuana and the largely hemp-derived delta-8 type of THC.

The bill would lengthen the terms of medical marijuana licenses and the time between required doctor appointments, which combined would cut an estimated 60% of the cost of participation in the state’s medical-marijuana program.

It would also remove doctor appointments for medical marijuana license recertification under specific guidelines, ban related advertising that markets to children, end the practice of “flipping” medical marijuana treatment center licenses for monetary gain and create new testing regimens to increase the safety of products, the transparency of state regulations and the efficacy of roadside impaired-driver testing.

For the plant itself, the bill would significantly tighten regulation of hemp extract products and add language clarifying such products intended for smoking or eating, including delta-8 flowers, oil and edibles, may not be sold to people under 21. It would also add strictures limiting the THC potency of synthetic marijuana. Hemp extracts to what is allowable under the U.S.S. Department of Agriculture’s rules for domestic hemp production.

Hemp is legally defined as a cannabis plant with less than 0.3% delta-9 THC, the psychoactive chemical that provides a “high.” Marijuana is a cannabis plant with a higher than 0.3% concentration.

Delta-8, most frequently synthesized from hemp extracts, has a different chemical structure than its delta-9 cousin and produces a less euphoric effect on users. Its legality and relative value, however, is questionable, particularly because it’s far less regulated.

The federal government has increasingly targeted the drug, including warnings from the FDA in September, and 16 states so far have banned or restricted delta-8 sales.

For doctors and those operating medical marijuana treatment centers, the bill’s passage would usher a host of significant changes. The bill would triple from two to six hours the length of the $500 course physicians must complete for being licensed or having their license renewed to prescribe medical marijuana.

Under the bill, doctors and treatment centers would still be permitted to advertise online, provided all advertising is approved by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, isn’t a pop-up ad, and doesn’t have content that “specifically targets” minors. They would also be able to have signage at their place of business, as long as the signage doesn’t contain “wording or images commonly associated with marketing targeted toward children or which promote the recreational use of marijuana.”

However, they would be prohibited from publicly advertising their practices or businesses in public, including radio, TV, and public spaces.

While a patient’s medical marijuana license must still come through an in-person examination, the bill would allow license renewals to occur remotely through telehealth as long as it’s with the same physician who conducted the initial certification.

The bill would increase the period between evaluations of medical marijuana patients from at least once every 30 weeks to at least once every 34 weeks. It would also double the length of time qualified medical marijuana patients. Caregivers are licensed by the state from one to two years.

Further, the bill would disallow state license renewals of medical marijuana treatment centers that have not begun to “cultivate, process and dispense marijuana by the date on which the medical marijuana treatment center is required to renew its license.”

It would also outlaw treatment centers or individuals with 5% or more of the voting share of a center from employing or having an economic interest in a doctor’s practice or marijuana testing lab and ban testing labs and their officers, directors, and employees from having “direct or indirect” economic interests or financial relationships with medical marijuana treatment centers.

Treatment centers would still be able to contract with a lab to provide testing services.

The bill would also create a new oversight body: a “Medical Marijuana Testing Advisory Council,” which would operate under the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The 18-member group - of which the Governor would appoint the majority - would be charged with providing advice and expertise on marijuana testing policies and standards, as well as an annual report recommending ways to prevent marijuana-related traffic infractions and accidents, the application of drug-free workplace policies and testing standards to ensure marijuana products are safe.

Fast Medical Marijuana Card

Article content LOS ANGELES - Jerred Kiloh’s eyes narrowed as he checked his mirror again. The black Chevy SUV with tinted windows was still behind him.

Article content It had been hanging off Kiloh’s bumper ever since he nosed out of the parking lot behind his medical-marijuana dispensary with $40,131.88 in cash in the trunk of his hatchback.

AP Exclusive: Paying pot taxes means cash, the freeway, fear Back to video

Kiloh was unarmed, on his way to City Hall to make a monthly tax payment, and managing only stop-and-start progress in the midday traffic. He was afraid of one thing above all else: getting robbed.

That fear is a constant part of doing business in California’s flourishing medical cannabis industry, in which transactions are conducted mostly in cash, sometimes in stunningly large amounts.

“The thing I need the least right now is to have to go through any sort of money disappearing,” Kiloh said.

On Jan. 1, recreational pot will become legal in California, creating what could be the world’s largest legitimate marijuana economy. It comes more than two decades after the state gave its blessing to medical cannabis.

Article content But the emerging marketplace with a projected $7 billion value has a potentially crippling flaw: Many people who work in it can’t use a bank. Banks don’t want the risks of doing business with companies whose product remains illegal under federal law.

So while the sneaker shop next door to Kiloh’s storefront on Ventura Boulevard can send a check to City Hall to cover its taxes, or wire the money from a laptop, Kiloh has to make a stress-filled, 15-mile (24-kilometre) freeway drive each month to downtown Los Angeles.

California is to marijuana what Iowa is to corn, and what Kentucky is to bourbon - the nation’s bud basket, its heartland for production. The transformation of such a vast illegal economy into a legal one hasn’t been witnessed since the end of Prohibition in 1933.

Article content The state expects to collect $1 billion in new tax revenue annually from pot within a few years. In L.A. - which is already estimated to have anywhere from 1,000 to 1,700 medical marijuana dispensaries, only about 200 of which paid city taxes in 2016 - the take is projected at $50 million next year alone.

However, governments will almost certainly miss out on money without an easy, secure way for businesses to pay. With no bank records, it will be harder to regulators to track funds and identify shady operators. And those who operate by the book will be undercut by those who don’t.

Without banks, “everyone loses,” said Nicole Howell Neubert, a marijuana industry lawyer.

Kiloh, a 40-year-old with a greying mohawk and a degree in economics, counts 15 years in the pot industry as a seller and cultivator and is a partner and business manager at a San Francisco dispensary and the owner of the one in Los Angeles.

Article content In the absence of a bank, Kiloh has become his own.

Twist and turn through a warren of rooms inside his shop, go through a door with a keypad lock, and you will come to a closet-like space that contains twin steel vaults, standing head-high. The walls around them are reinforced with steel.

Overhead, more than 50 cameras scan his offices and hallways and keep watch outside the building as well. An armed guard stands at the door to the sales floor.

On a typical day, $15,000 can change hands in his dispensary, where a steady stream of customers pick from shelves stocked with 700 products, from fragrant buds and perfectly rolled joints to cannabis-infused lip balm and potent concentrates known as “shatter” that look like thin sheets of amber glass.

Article content For Kiloh, the cash is a daily hassle. It needs to be counted repeatedly to safeguard against loss. State and local taxes must be set aside and stored, sometimes for a month or more. When vendors show up, they get paid in cash, too.

“When now everyone makes payments through their cellphone, it’s tough to see that I’m left to the archaic version of counting money,” he said.

With all the cash on hand - he grossed $4 million last year - crime is a gnawing fear. His dispensary on a bustling commercial strip has been robbed twice - once by thieves breaking in through the roof.

The Los Angeles Police Department did not immediately respond to a request for statistics on crimes against marijuana dispensaries, and many cases are believed to go unreported anyway, since many businesses are loath to go to the police.

Article content Last year, though, a dispensary owner shot and wounded two armed men during a holdup in the Los Angeles suburbs. And a security guard at a dispensary was killed in an attempted robbery in Aurora, Colorado, another one of the nine states to legalize recreational pot.

To keep criminals guessing, Kiloh avoids arriving at the same time each day and staggers the times he leaves. He goes in. Out different doors. He keeps an eye on cars parked around his shop.

Once a month, Kiloh telephones to make arrangements to drop off his tax payment at the city Finance Department, which gets 6 per cent of his gross revenue. They want to know he’s coming - it’s dangerous for them, too. The agency has seen bags of cash from pot businesses as large as $300,000 come through the door.

Article content His journey to the tax office starts at a windowless back room at his shop, where stacks of $20 bills flip through the counting machine at his desk with the whir-slap-whir-slap of a weed-whacker.

He and his staff then wrap the bills into neat $2,000 bundles and wedge them into a long cardboard box, which is then covered in plain paper and stuffed into a shoulder bag that goes into the trunk.

From the moment he pulls out of his parking lot, he is watching, assessing.

“I find myself looking in my rear-view mirror hundreds of more times than I usually would in just normal traffic, making sure that I’m not being followed,” Kiloh said.

“That’s what a lot of this industry has been about: Just stay under the radar, and that’s your best defence. That’s your best kind of safety.”

Article content It was on Kiloh’s drive to City Hall in late June that he noticed the ominous-looking Chevy. He watched it intently, taking note of the man behind the wheel - glasses, mid-40s to 50s - as he leaned into the accelerator.

Eventually, the Chevy disappeared, but Kiloh wasn’t home free yet.

Exiting the freeway, he tried to enter a parking lot near City Hall but was turned away, forcing him farther down the block.

Once inside a garage, he looped around until he found a spot near a stairwell. Lifting his satchel from his trunk, he scurried toward the door.

“I try to not stay in confined places like an elevator, so I’d rather take the standard stairs, plus the standard stairs have video cameras,” he said.

The steps opened to a sun-soaked plaza teeming with people. With the cash over his shoulder, he made his way briskly toward City Hall, his head swiveling.

“It’s tough when people make eye contact with you,” he said. “There is always the fear of what do they know?”

Kiloh spotted a police officer walking across the plaza - an instant source of comfort.

Finally at the granite-faced tower, Kiloh darted up the steps and slipped behind a pair of glass-and-wood doors. He emerged about 20 minutes later, his tax bill paid, and drew in a slow, deep breath.

“You just feel the relief,” he said, “to know that I don’t have to look over my shoulder

How To Get A Medical Marijuana Card

If you want to become a medical marijuana patient in Pennsylvania, you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

During the early days of the pandemic, Pennsylvania’s medical marijuana program began temporarily allowing registered physicians to certify new patients and recertify existing ones, by doing a remote consultation over video conferencing or with a phone call. (Pre-pandemic, patients had to be certified for a medical marijuana card by meeting in person with a registered doctor.)

Now, that change, among others, is permanent. Gov. Wolf signed House Bill 1024 into law last month, which “permanently allows for remote consultations,” according to a statement from Pennsylvania Department of Health deputy press secretary Maggi Barton.

The bill also made other changes including what conditions qualify and how dispensaries can operate, Barton said.

So, how do you go about getting certified for medical marijuana in Pennsylvania now, and what is the process like? Here is what you need to know:

What conditions qualify for medical marijuana in Pennsylvania?

You have to have at least one of about two dozen qualifying medical conditions to participate in the Commonwealth’s medical marijuana program. According to the state, those conditions are:

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Anxiety disorders

Autism

Cancer, including remission therapy

Damage to the nervous tissue of the central nervous system (brain-spinal cord) with objective neurological indication of intractable spasticity, and other associated neuropathies

Dyskinetic and spastic movement disorders

Epilepsy

HIV / AIDS

Huntington’s disease

Inflammatory bowel disease

Intractable seizures

Multiple sclerosis

Neurodegenerative diseases

Neuropathies

Opioid use disorder for which conventional therapeutic interventions are contraindicated or ineffective, or for which adjunctive therapy is indicated in combination with primary therapeutic interventions

Parkinson’s disease

Post-traumatic stress disorder

Severe chronic or intractable pain of neuropathic origin or severe chronic or intractable pain

Sickle cell anemia

Tourette syndrome

You’ll need documentation of your diagnosis, which will be reviewed and evaluated by a physician. You can get records through your health-care providers’ online portal or by contacting with them directly.

“A copy of their last office note, an after-visit summary, [or] a printout list of their diagnoses” would be helpful, Jennifer Minkovich, a Philadelphia-area physician who offers remote consultations, said last year. “Really, anything from their health-care provider that simply states their name and diagnosis would be sufficient.”

How to register online for Pennsylvania’s program

If you qualify, you can register for the medical marijuana program online through the state health department’s Medical Marijuana Registry.

You’ll need to provide your name, address, and contact information, and must have a state-issued driver’s license or identification card. Your address needs to be exactly as it appears on your state ID.

“Be meticulous,” Minkovich said.

How to get a remote consultation

There isn’t an official list of registered doctors who are offering remote consultations. The state health department, however, provides a list of Pennsylvania physicians who are registered with the program.

“New patients should look at the list on our website and find a registered physician, and then call to determine if a remote consultation is available,” former state health department press secretary Nate Wardle said last year.

Consultations are generally not covered by insurance, so you will have to pay for it out of pocket. If you’re a new patient, it will usually cost between $125 and $199, and take about 15 to 30 minutes.

Some organizations hold certification events, where they do individual consultations with a batch of patients on a particular day.

» READ MORE: Can I be evicted for using medical marijuana?

The Pittsburgh-based All Life Advanced Care Centers, for example, has an online form where patients can sign up for a consultation and become certified, if they qualify, president Carla Mader said last year. That group began doing consultations remotely with physicians in late March 2020, and helps patients through the registration process.

What is a remote consultation like?

Remote consultations are “not much different than traditional office visits” for a medical marijuana certification, Minkovich said - they’re just by phone or video.

The consultation is just a discussion; “a physical exam is not required,” she said.

The practitioner will typically ask about your medical history, give you an overview of the state’s medical marijuana program, and tell you what to expect when visiting a dispensary.

How to get your card after being certified

Once certified, you can log into your Medical Marijuana Registry account and pay for your medical marijuana card. The fee is $50; if you’re on a program like Medicaid and WIC, you could get that refunded. You should get your card in the mail within seven to 10 days.

Getting marijuana from an approved dispensary

Once you get your medical marijuana card, you can make a purchase at a dispensary. You can find one near you on the state health department’s website.

Pennsylvania dispensaries are operating differently now than before the pandemic, and some of those changes have become permanent. You can pickup curbside. Buy up to a 90-day supply of cannabis at a time. (Previously, dispensaries needed to do their business indoors and could only sell a 30-day supply).

You Can Now Get Medical Marijuana While Vacationing In Hawaii: The Cannabis Visiting Patient Program

Vacationing in Hawaii just got a lot cooler - not that it wasn’t already.

Earlier this week, Hawaii’s Department of Health announced a new 10-minute, online process that allows for out-of-state cannabis users to get medical marijuana in the island. So, if you’re a patient who qualifies for medical marijuana somewhere else in the U.S. - continental and territories, all you’ll need to do to receive a temporary medical marijuana card is fill out an online application up to 60 days in advance of your trip, and pay a $49.50 fee.

Once you arrive in Hawaii, you’ll be able to use this electronic registration card, known as the 329-V card, to purchase marijuana in all licensed medical cannabis retailers over a period of 60 consecutive days. Today, patients from Washington, D.C., 32 U.S. states where medical marijuana is legal, and four U.S. territories, can apply for a temporary medical marijuana card in Hawaii - although I’ve heard a few among these 32 states might not allow their patients to do so.

Patients will only be able to apply twice per year.

Interestingly, purchase limits are unusually high, at 4 ounces, or 113 grams of cannabis, every 15 days. For reference, 2017 figures out of Statistics Canada reveled the average Canadian cannabis consumer used a little bit more than 20 grams of weed in a year.

‘Vital For Patients’

The Hawaii Educational Association for Therapeutic Healthcare (HEALTH), the state’s trade association for licensed dispensaries, supported this new Department of Health initiative. When prompted about the issue, HEALTH executive director Pedro Haro told me, “Hawaii’s new Visiting Patient Program is an important milestone in providing qualified out-out-state patients with safe access to the state’s world-class licensed medical cannabis dispensaries. Approved visiting patients no longer need to be anxious about if they’ll be able to legally obtain their medical cannabis medication in Hawaii and instead can focus on enjoying their experience in the Aloha state.”

Adding to these comments, Morgan Fox, media relations director of the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) said, “Reciprocity for medical cannabis programs is absolutely vital for patients, and a great benefit for providers. Lack of access to their medicine can severely limit the places that patients can travel, and there is no reason that they should not be able to live a normal life while traveling in a state where medical cannabis is legal. Economically, this is good for dispensaries in a given state, but also for all the businesses that patients may shop at while visiting those states. Hawaii, being a tourist destination, will now be able to accommodate medical cannabis patients from the other states where their medicine is legal.”

By means of conclusion, Tom Angell, publisher of Marijuana Moment and Forbes contributor said, “Medical cannabis patients shouldn’t have to go without their medicine while on vacation or on business trips,” qualifying the decision as a “commonsense move.” In his view, expanding medical cannabis programs to include reciprocity consideratios “is just one way we’re seeing states moving to expand existing programs. Others include adding new qualifying conditions or allowing new forms of consumption.”

The small print: To be eligible, visiting patients need a valid medical registration card from a U.S. state or territory and a valid government-issued photo ID from the same state. Finally, patients applying for the temporary card must use cannabis for one or more of the qualifying conditions recognized by Hawaii.

Finding Trusted Medical Marijuana Doctors

A lot of people have a problem finding a qualified. Compassionate marijuana doctor. Nowadays, because of the increasing success of medical marijuana within the USA, a lot of marijuana card registration services have been opened. They claim to have all the licenses, which make their card valid in any medical marijuana dispensary of a specific state. But how do you check such statements? This is the exact issue, which keeps marijuana patients awake at night.

Nevertheless, there are modes to verify if a marijuana card enterprise is truly licensed. It could take certain efforts and time, and perhaps a slight study from the side of the patient, but in case everything is processed properly, the result will be precise. They would just want to obtain their medical marijuana card from a group or doctor that is properly licensed. Of course, patients won’t think much about the study and stuff, probably. Nobody wants to go through troubles. There are lots of matters, which should be considered, and this article won’t mention all of them. In such a case, the relatives of the patient can do all the things. However, a marijuana card is a significant document, which permits patients using marijuana legally for their medical conditions, not being prosecuted. Hence, if it is issued at a marijuana dispensary or company that lacks the license, you spent your time and money in vain.

The simplest and fastest way is to ask neighbors, colleagues, relatives, and friends about marijuana card services that possess marijuana licenses, whether a medical marijuana dispensary, clinic, doctor, etc. If any of them have ever referred to marijuana services and were happy with them, the solution is evident. But what if they never referred to marijuana card facilities. Have never visited a marijuana dispensary? Now, this is where all the dirty work begins.

The primary thing you should do is to contact the chosen service. Perhaps, the very first thing people are interested in is if the service supplies marijuana card recommendations over the phone. If they tell you “Yes, we actually do,” just cross it out of your list, because licensed marijuana card service would never offer over-the-phone recommendation. If you hear “no” on the other end, your research goes on.

The second matter you should inquire is the company’s license number. If it’s “no,” start researching another service. However, if you get the number, don’t forget to check it with the state registry. Now, speaking of the doctors working for a marijuana dispensary, company, etc. - their names and degrees would be perfect, because this data is enough to check that they are those, who they say they are.

Perhaps, the last of the main issue, which should be considered, is inquiring the company if it could recommend more marijuana than permitted by the regulations of your state. If you get a positive answer, just hang up, or leave the company’s facility if you visited it. There are lots of cheaters out in the industry. Everyone wants to bite their piece. If the first company you research doesn’t pass your “test,” you should repeat all the process with other researched marijuana card services. There are trusted marijuana doctors and you shouldn’t lose heart, since the better you search the faster you find one. However, there are still lawful specialists in the area of marijuana card facilities. Thus, even if you’ve experienced several failures while looking for a good specialist, you shouldn’t stop looking for one.

Medical Marijuana

Marijuana has been used as a medical treatment for many centuries. We have been hearing more about so-called medicinal marijuana because of the recent United States Supreme Court ruling that essentially concluded that state laws permitting medicinal marijuana must bow to federal law prohibiting marijuana. This is quite a sea change from earlier in the last century, when marijuana was listed by the United States Pharmacopeia (the organization which sets the quality standards for approved drugs in the United States) until the 1940s, just a few years before Robert Mitchum got busted. By that time, there was quite a bit of resistance toward the increasing recreational use of marijuana.

Marijuana refers to the dried flower, leaves, stems and seeds of the Cannabis sativa plant. Not only do these components of the plant contain the compounds responsible for the mind-altering effects that recreational users seek, but they also contain components with pain-relieving properties.

These chemical components are referred to as cannabinoids. These cannabinoids have many distinct pharmacologic properties, including pain-relieving, anti-oxidative, anti-nausea and anti-inflammatory, in addition to modulation of certain tumor growth.

When smoked or taken orally, some of these cannabinoids attach to receptors in the brain. These receptors are mostly concentrated in the areas of the brain that control body movement, memory and nausea/vomiting. The cannabinoids can also make a person very hungry.

While cannabis may be ingested orally, this delivery route has greatly different pharmacokinetics compared with inhalation. In addition, the onset of action is delayed, dose titration is made more difficult, and the time the drug remains is the body is much longer. Interestingly, cannabinoids may also be incorporated into a topical treatment which is absorbed through the skin -- this was used for arthritis in the early 20th century, but it was the least efficient mode of delivery.

Those suffering pain used marijuana rather extensively in the 1800s, and the analgesic effects of cannabinoids have been proven in several studies. One study showed that one of the cannabinoids, THC, appears to work as well as codeine in treating pain in cancer patients. In addition, cannabinoids appear to increase the effects of opiate pain medications, allowing for the provision of pain relief at lower dosages.

Pharmaceutical companies are currently directing research that will utilize what we have learned from cannabinoids in order to produce better pain control.

As mentioned earlier, the United States government does not agree with those who advocate the legitimate use of marijuana. Specifically, the federal law currently classifies marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug: a dangerous drug with no recognized medical use. It follows that a patient or a doctor may land in jail if they are found in possession of this drug.

Another precaution to keep in mind involves the potential health risks. These include:

Impairment of thinking. Reduced balance and coordination. Increased risk of cardiac disease. Increased risk of pulmonary disease/infections. Hallucinations. Withdrawal symptoms.

Finally, although we live in a world in which we are constantly reminded of the superiority of things organic and found in nature, it does not mean things organic and found in nature cannot kill us. Some studies show marijuana smoke contains up to 70 percent more carcinogenic hydrocarbons than does smoke from tobacco. Smokers need to be aware of the risks of lung cancer, particularly because true connoisseurs of what they deem nature's beneficial weed tend to inhale deeply and hold that breath for a longer period of time compared to those nasty tobacco users. This increases the lung exposure to cancer-causing components of marijuana.

An On-demand Alcohol Delivery Company Just Raised $4.5 Million

You can get almost anything on-demand: Weed, cars, massage therapists. Now booze is just the latest thing Silicon Valley believes consumers want to order via app.

Meet Saucey. Its drivers bring you the booze you just ordered on the company's smartphone app.

Since launching in Los Angeles in May 2014, Saucey has been bringing booze-on-demand to customers in the LA area, San Francisco and San Diego. It delivers everything from a six-pack of Budweiser to a bottle of Pinot or a handle of Jameson, and even supplies like margarita mix and Tabasco sauce.

Now it has $4.5 million in new investment to help quench people's thirst in more American cities, including Chicago, which began deliveries Tuesday. Dallas, you're next.

Saucey is only the latest example of Silicon Valley's race to deliver everything possible at the push of a button. Sometimes called the "concierge" or "on-demand" economy, and popularized by the success of ride-sharing giant Uber, venture capitalists continue pouring money into startups promising to deliver a dizzying array of more products and services.

After increasing their investments in on-demand startups by sixfold last year, venture capitalists are on pace to out-do themselves, according to CB Insights. The venture capital research firm has projected that investment this year in on-demand companies is on pace to more than double the $4.12 billion invested last year.

Beyond ride-sharing companies like Uber, Lyft and Sidecar, that pool of cash has funded startups that make consumption as convenient as humanly possible. There are now on-demand apps for doctors, lawyers, in-home caregivers and even barbers. There are companies specializing in bringing you medical marijuana within a half hour. In fact, Uber even experimented with quickly deploying kittens.

Doctors, hair weaves and razors are coming to you

Sidecar rolls out medical marijuana delivery in SF

On-demand apps are riding a huge wave of investments

On-demand cleaning startup Homejoy shuts up shop

But to really get a sense of just how much Silicon Valley believes there's a business in delivering booze to people's homes, consider this: Saucey has competitors. As in, more than one.

There's Drizly, which already operates in 15 cities. And there's also Thirstie and MiniBar.

However, the number of competitors in the space isn't slowing Saucey's growth, says CEO Chris Vaughn.

He won't say how many drinks his network of more than 450 drivers have delivered or how much revenue his company has generated. But Vaughn says that his company's revenue has grown more than 25 percent every month since it launched last year.

And because demand has been so strong, says Vaughn, the independent liquor stores from which Saucey's drivers pick up alcohol have also benefited. Saucey sales represent 40 percent of one liquor store's bottomline while another store has opened a dedicated warehouse just to store extra booze for bound for Saucey customers.

"So many of our users are cooking dinner then halfway through they want a bottle of wine. It's an impulsive thing," said Vaughn. "Nobody ever says I want beer next Friday. They say, 'I want it now.'"

Come Aboard The Cannabus: More Seniors Taking Trips To Get Weed

The retired librarian's doctor gave him a shot for the pain, but it hasn't worked well, and his wife said the opioid he's on doesn't always work, either.

A lot of other riders expressed reluctance about opioids, worried that they'll feel unmotivated. The group takes the "active" description of their senior community seriously: There are horse trails, pools and tennis.

Lustig hopes cannabis will help. Asked what neighbors will think, he jokes, "I don't give a damn.

"If I can help them lift something because my back is OK again, I think they would even help pay for the trip."

On board, the festive atmosphere is punctuated by the buzz of neighbors getting to know each other. One woman looks over a long handwritten shopping list. She's gathered neighbors' requests, and the list is four pages long. Others hand iPhones across the aisle, showing off photos of grandkids and great-grandkids. Many laugh and share stories, learning that they have at least one thing in common: If they've tried the drug before, it was a grandson who introduced them to it.

The shuttle riders carry long lists of dispensary requests for friends.

"My grandson gave me a block of this chocolate," says a woman with an old Hollywood style coif and a sensible knit vest, a glasses chain around her neck. She asks that her name not be used, saying her children would be mortified. "I couldn't see straight for hours. It made me feel so weird, but I hear that there is some you can get that won't get you high. I'm interested in that. I've got arthritis."

Arthritis, pain, insomnia, lack of appetite: All problems familiar to seniors and problems medical marijuana may address. As a result, seniors are one of the fastest-growing demographics to show interest in weed, a study showed.

Kandice Hawes, who was checking people in with the clipboard, is a longtime legalization advocate hired by Bud and Bloom. She said that since she's been coordinating the senior shuttle, she's seen a shift in attitudes, especially after marijuana became legal in all forms in California in January. Seniors, she finds, are particularly curious. "We usually have a happy bunch who want to learn something new and to try out new things," she said.

Scientific studies are still limited due to the Schedule I classification of the drug, which means it's illegal on the federal level and is considered to be of no medical value. However, the evidence is starting to show otherwise. The seniors on board the "cannabus" -- many new to the drug, many like the Lustigs -- want to find out whether it will work for them.

Weed has already fixed a huge health issue for Christy Diller, who is going to be 80 in a few months. She's been using it for a couple of years.

Christy Diller, right, says marijuana brownies help her sleep and relieve her arthritis pain.

"I've got rheumatoid arthritis really bad. That's why I'm taking the marijuana," Diller said. She eats a marijuana brownie every night, about two hours before she goes to bed. Before marijuana, she'd get about only two hours of sleep a night. "I was like a walking zombie, and that was almost every day." Now, with her brownies, she gets a full night's rest.

Today, she's on the bus to buy mint lozenges. She bought some a few months ago, on another shuttle ride, and found that they helped when the brownies weren't enough. Some friends have given her a hard time about using marijuana, but she doesn't care what they think.

"I think it is great. I think older people that have a lot of pain should use the marijuana, you know. When nothing else helps, then use it," Diller said. "For me, nothing else helped me anymore, so I used the marijuana. It got a little better. It didn't get much better, but it got better. So I can at least get some steps already, and I can walk. I could not even walk before."

Christy Diller browses at the medical marijuana shop.

The bus passes through an industrial area and pulls up alongside a set of nondescript concrete buildings. The only thing distinguishing the Bud and Bloom dispensary is a bright green cross in the window and a large man in black, with the air of a bouncer, standing at the door for security.

Inside, the seniors must show an ID and fill out city-required paperwork. At a desk that resembles the check-in area at a doctor's office, they have to state whether they are there for medical or recreational purposes. "If you have a doctor's recommendation, you get a 10% discount here," the clerk tells Diller. "And if you are over 55, you also get a seniors discount."

Part of the group goes to the back of the building, where there is an information fair. Vendors sell weed wares and services. The Lustigs seem intrigued by a mixture that goes in your morning coffee, and they get a massage from a woman who rubs cannabis oil onto their backs.

Donald Wright, who describes himself as the senior brand ambassador for a cannabis product, explains it to some of the seniors.

Christina Espiritu, founder of the 420 Foodie Club, speaks with a group of seniors as they eat sandwiches in metal folding chairs. "How many of you have ever cooked with marijuana?" Espiritu asks. A few hands shoot up.

"Do you remember what you made?" she asks.

"Brownies, of course," shouts a woman, laughing, at the front.

"Did you like them?" Espiritu asks.

"No, they tasted like dirt," the woman responds.

"Well, we can teach you about how you can make marijuana into butter. I promise that tastes a lot better," the instructor tells the class.

Anne Lustig gets a massage with cannabis oil.

Other seniors ask about creams on display. "These do different things for different times of day," says a man with a million-dollar smile who looks like he should work at a high-end cosmetics counter. "The bliss from this is very uplifting, meant for a mood enhancement. It is quite energetic at times, but it is meant to elevate your mood and make you feel good. The other is great for sleep. Even Time magazine wrote about it. There's satisfaction guaranteed."

One woman waits to check out by a display of medical cannabis potato chips.

In the store, a group looks around what could pass for a posh hotel spa rather than a hippie-era head shop. On displays of modern furniture and glass cabinets are cannabis products in every imaginable variety: weed popcorn, potato chips, mints, gummies, lip gloss and the more traditional glass bongs and rolled joints. "These are a little fancier than what we used in the '60s," one man tells his wife as they look over bongs.

Bongs for sale at the dispensary "are a little fancier than what we used in the '60s," one man said.

Clerks and an on-site pharmacist are ready to answer any questions.

"I do have the oil," a clerk tells the Lustigs. "It would work really well for your back pain. But that's only if you have someone who can assist you."

John Lustig pats the hand of his wife of 64 years with a mischievous grin, and she nods that she will help. "How do you know how much to apply?" he asks the clerk.

"It's very personal. You will have to test the waters," the clerk replies. "The thing about our topicals is, it's not intoxicating."

John and Anne Lustig learn about cannabis lotions at the dispensary.

"Do you have your exit bag?" a nearby clerk asks as Diller checks out. An exit bag is a secure envelope required by state law for all dispensary purchases.

"Oh, you have to bring that every time?" she asks.

"You have to bring them back every time. It is just the law. It's a dollar."

"Oh, dear. A dollar is a dollar for we seniors," Diller says.

One of the drawbacks of marijuana as medicine: It can be expensive. Diller's tiny box of mints costs $24.49. The clerk blames taxes, and since marijuana is illegal at the federal level, it's not something Medicaid or insurance covers, even with a doctor;s recommendation.

Though disappointed about the expense, Diller still thinks the benefits are worth it. "For me, it's a miracle," she says. "Although the cream can smell pretty bad. I went to my daughter one time. She said, 'You smell horrible. What do you have on?' I said 'marijuana.' My daughter laughed and said 'whatever works.' "

A few weeks after their shopping trip, Anne Lustig said they aren't completely sold on marijuana. Before she uses it, she wants to do more research. "Honestly, I haven't given it a chance yet," she said, though she rubbed some of the liquid on her husband's back. "I do think that may have helped, at least a little bit.

Medical Pot Applicans Face 'hoop Jumping'

Yet now that the state has enacted a medicinal cannabis law and in August began distributing applications for would-be patients, the Chicago woman is still deciding whether to go through that process or simply continue to use the drug outside of the new legal channel.

She's particularly concerned about having to submit her fingerprints to the state - Illinois is the only state that requires that of medical marijuana applicants - along with documentation of her Social Security disability insurance, proof of age and residency and a recent photo.

She's never had to submit such information for the narcotics prescribed to her in the past, she noted.

"Boy, this is a lot of hoop-jumping to go through," said Falco, 49.

Almost nine months after Illinois' medical marijuana law took effect, the state is set to begin accepting applications in September for prospective patients. Yet while officials have touted the Illinois law as being the strictest around, others criticize the application process as being onerous and intrusive.

Individual physicians, meanwhile, are also trying to determine their own comfort level with recommending a drug that federal law still prohibits and puts in the same class as heroin.

With applications now available online, advocates say those who want to use medical marijuana should make appointments to get examined by a physician to be certified as having one of the 38 medical conditions that qualify - or they should find a new doctor.

Illinois law requires patients to get a recommendation from a doctor with whom they have a "bona fide physician-patient relationship." That means, state officials say, that even if the patient is new to a doctor, that physician must be assessing or treating the patient's disease.

Patients and doctors "do not need a prior relationship, as long as the doctor reviews the patient's records," said Bob Morgan, coordinator of the state's medical marijuana program. "It's intended so the physician has personal knowledge of the patient's condition."

At least 100,000 people in Illinois have one of the qualifying conditions to get medical pot, officials estimate, and they expect thousands or tens of thousands of people to apply for medical marijuana identification cards in the first year. Once qualified, patients may buy pot from one of up to 60 dispensaries allowed statewide, which will be supplied by up to 21 cultivation centers.

Though grow centers and stores aren't expected to open until early next year, the state will be taking patient applications from Sept. 2 through the end of the year. The law requires that the state respond within 30 days of receiving a completed application.

If the Illinois Department of Public Health denies the application, it will notify the applicant as to why, Morgan said. Applicants may appeal the ruling to an administrative law judge.

In addition to providing extensive documentation of their doctors' recommendation, the main hurdle applicants must clear is a criminal background check. Anyone with a felony conviction for a violent crime, drug dealing or drug possession may be denied. Exceptions may be made on a case-by-case basis if the applicant can prove the drug possession was related to a qualifying medical condition.

Caregiver applications are also available. Caregivers must be at least 21 years old. Must also submit fingerprints for criminal background checks.

Fingerprints must be submitted electronically through private vendors that participate in the state-certified Live Scan system, already in use to check concealed gun permit applicants and certain state-licensed workers. Live Scan sends the prints to the Illinois State Police, which runs them through the Automated Fingerprint Identification System and forwards them to the FBI for a nationwide background check.

Such requirements are among many that might make the application procedure challenging, and might make some patients and doctors avoid the issue altogether, advocates say.

No other states require criminal background checks to get medical marijuana, advocates said, but sponsors of the new law said they had to include such precautions to get enough votes to pass the bill.

The process is new to doctors as well as patients, said Dr. William McDade, president of the Illinois State Medical Society.

Some doctors will want to avoid the paperwork or the risk they might perceive from recommending a drug that they are prohibited from prescribing under federal law, he said.

A significant burden for doctors will be that, before recommending a patient for medical pot, they must review all medical records for the patient spanning the prior year, McDade said. That could be difficult if a patient sees multiple doctors, which wouldn't be unusual for someone with a serious condition such as HIV, lupus, Crohn's disease or muscular dystrophy.

Some of the qualifying medical conditions, like fibromyalgia and spinal cord injury, are general enough that they may be prone to abuse by patients seeking marijuana to get high rather than for treatment, McDade said.

Doctors should also warn patients that driving a motor vehicle, even hours after consuming marijuana, may be dangerous. And while patients may come in seeking the drug based on what they've seen in the media or online, he said, they may not be aware of the risks, such as lung damage from smoking.

To educate doctors on the issue, McDade's group will hold webinars on the subject in upcoming weeks.

"It's a fine thing for those patients it benefits," McDade said. "But we have to be very cautious about ...
