A special note to Canadians here at the Summit. Fonda Betts shares some valuable insights that everyone from everywhere around the world will find interesting, however, we invited her for an extra purpose with Canadians in mind. As CEO of Green Leaf Medical Clinic, she helps Canadians to get access into Health Canada's MMAR (Medical Marijuana) program. If you are in Canada then getting the required doctor's signature is extremely difficult (hence why Matt Mernagh has been suing the Federal Government for the benefit of all Canadians). We would recommend that you stop wasting time trying to get your license yourself (it is exceedingly difficult), and that you just contact her for help. Check out Fonda's two main websites, GreenLeafMC.ca & MedicalMarijuana.ca, and of course enjoy her interview below.

Read the article "Joy of Cannabis Collecting"
This is a great feature length (long) article that wonderfully combines several topics and perspectives all rolled into one flowing article. It is educational, informative, and even entertaining. Much like a connoisseur of fine wines, you will learn to understand & appreciate the various kinds of cannabis available, and become familiar with the diverse effects different strains provide you, both in terms of medicinal benefits & recreational high vs stone. If you grow (legally) you'll get inspirations and suggestions on strains to try. If you wish you could grow, but don't due to legal restrictions, you may want to consider collecting "Souvenir Seeds" which may be a more rewarding hobby than collecting sports trading cards, stamps, or other collectibles... particularly if you are gathering the varieties you hope to one day be able to sprout. This article may inspire you to become a cannabis collector, whether that be only with seeds, or by having an assortment of jars filled with delectable collectible buds that would be far more satisfying than any wine cellar hoarding various wines.

Jamen Shively - Following Great-Grand-Pappy's Footsteps - DiegoPellicer.com
Now that marijuana is becoming legal, inch by inch, is it any surprise that business people are eyeing this opening frontier like those in the past looked at gold-bearing streams? Now the glistening nuggets sparkle with THC, not metal. But Mr. Shively is not just another prospector, as he also has cannabis running in his blood, and it's not just from the bong rips that inspired him with this whole business venture. His great-grandfather was one of the world's largest hemp growers back in the 19th century, and Jamen is looking to step back into the family business. This time though he's going high end, intending to position his not-so-humble weed similarly to "a fine cognac, a fine brandy, a fine cigar." Honestly, the idea of someday tasting his merchandise has made it to our bucket-list, particularly after listening to how he describes the experience a customer could expect just walking into one of his exquisite retail locations. He successfully whet our appetites as he revealed more about his visionary plans with us, as well as sharing the legal journey he is currently on working towards the official launch, which hopefully will happen at the end of this year. We wish for this former Microsoft executive to be successful opening the Windows for us all to taste the finest of great cannabis, and hope that in his budding business that he never sees a blue screen of death.

Fonda Betts - Helping People Use Medical Marijuana - GreenLeafMC.ca
Fonda is head of a medical clinic helping Canadians to enroll in the Federal Medical Marijuana program so that they may have safe and legal access to this medicine, which for most people in Canada is exceptionally difficult to get the required signature in order to be granted access into the program. Towards the end of the interview we discuss how Canadians can successfully be admitted into the program, but before we deal with this topic that would only be of interest to fellow Canadians, we delve into how Cannabis may help all people with diverse medical conditions. Cannabis may help a tremendous amount of people, people like YOU, with anything from serious illnesses to trivial tiny aches and pains. She even touches upon how cannabis can aid in meditation and mindful pursuits. She provides valuable insights for listeners world wide, but there is a special message pertinent to Canadians attempting to get their MMAR legal access towards the end of the interview.
