Santa Rosa Cannabis Providers Donate $20,000 Worth of Medical Marjuana to Valley Fire Victims
NBC Bay Area ^ | Monday, Sep 28, 2015 | Rhea Mahbubani

Two Santa Rosa cannabis providers are coming to the rescue of Valley Fire victims.

Care by Design and AbsoluteXtracts have teamed up to donate $20,000 worth of medical marijuana products to Lake County residents who have prescriptions but lost access to their medicine because of the fire, the Press Democrat reported.

The companies issued a joint statement, saying: "This disaster happened in our own backyard. As a company that prides itself on putting patient needs first, we felt there was no better time to reach out and help our neighbors in their time of need."

Through Oct. 7, each victim – with a California-issued ID card and an address in Kelseyville, Middletown, Cobb or Hidden Valley Lake – can receive up to $200 worth of products.

Care by Design and AbsoluteXtracts are working in conjunction with local dispensaries to provide patients the cannabis they need. People must also have a valid prescription to California Member Services, Peace in Medicine or SPARC, according to the Press Democract.

The Valley Fire has scorched over 76,000 acres and is 97 percent contained as of Monday. Officials say it is California’s third most damaging blaze in terms of structures burned.

The terpene profiles alone beg for further study.

Myrcine is my favorite terpene in pot.

Limonene is the second.

Linolool is the third.

B-caryophylene.ay be the most medically signifigant, though.

Just how did they lose access to their legal pot prescriptions? They have to show proof of prescriptions to get this donated free stuff so why can’t they trot themselves down to the pharmacy with the same prescription? Guess you need to be high to understand it or it’s just more freebies.

You should allocate some of your effort towards making Lavender illegal too, seeing as how it has a relaxing effect.

The component in Lavender that is responsible for it’s relaxing effect, Linolool, is the same thing in pot that is responsible for it’s relaxing effect.

Aromatherapy should be a felony!

Substantial evidence from animal research and a growing number of studies in humans indicate that marijuana exposure during development can cause long-term or possibly permanent adverse changes in the brain.

No, he thinks the linolool in lavender is the same thing as the linolool in marijuana - and obviously he's right.

marijuana exposure during development can cause long-term or possibly permanent adverse changes in the brain.

Teens have reported for years that they can get pot more easily than cigarettes or beer ... not surprising, given that while sellers of legal drugs typically card for age (rather than risk losing their license to legally sell to adults), seller of illegal drugs never do.

So the better policy for preventing marijuana exposure during development is to legalize for adults.

Do you find what teens say is usually reliable?

Do you think that will make it harder for kids to get?

Teenagers are practically forced to try pot now. If it was legal, they'd all be forced to use it.

If the government is getting money from pot taxes, then they have a vested interest in making sure each generation uses it.

Big Business is taking over the pot business, and they will make the cartels look like muppets. All that money will be used to lobby the government, and give us a more left wing government.

There's no obvious motive for them to lie about this. Do you have better evidence to the contrary?

Yes, for the reason above, and the one I gave but you omitted: "while sellers of legal drugs typically card for age (rather than risk losing their license to legally sell to adults), seller of illegal drugs never do."

Teenagers are practically forced to try pot now.

What?! By whom?

If the government is getting money from pot taxes, then they have a vested interest in making sure each generation uses it.

Big Business is taking over the pot business, and they will make the cartels look like muppets.

How many people will they kill?

All that money will be used to lobby the government, and give us a more left wing government.

By that same token, we'd better ban alcohol and tobacco so government doesn't encourage their use and their lobbyists don't turn the government more left wing.

If you want to know about the phony “marijuana is medicine scam” get in touch with its bankroller, Soros.
Soros? Really? It sounds like you need to put the bong down, noob.

Your boy Soros has bankrolled marijuana ‘legalization’ movements in dozens of US states.

Any good pothead would surely know that.

Potheads have bad manners.

They can’t hide it even when they post.
