my name is julie dooley. i m the co-creator and sole owner of julie s baked goods in denver, colorado. i m here today to pick up some fabulous organically grown trim that they would like turned into some organic edibles. let s see the strawberry pot. let s see. oh, my god. it s gorgeous. look at this. beautiful. we exclusively make healthy, organic, natural foods. it s a granola, roasted seed mix. we do a candy, my version of candy, which is called the nutty bite. i have celiac disease. it basically means i cannot tolerate gluten in any way shape or form, even on minute levels. however, i did have residual symptoms. what we found worked best is cannabis. how much longer until this is harvested? this will be harvested next week. we take off all of the extra leaves, then we re going to let the buds dry.
legal marijuana is new for everybody. two people died, the opposition yelled foul, the state listened, the industry reacted, experts were called, the rules were modified, and dixie finally passed their fire department inspection. the oil crisis was over. the regulators have been satisfied. the boxes have been checked. last night about 9:00 p.m., we started manufacturing oil. some day, the pot barons will look back on the summer of 2014. our nutty bite boiling away. gets to a certain temperature, and then it ll be poured. and they ll remember a watershed moment, a time of their personal wealth, social confrontation, and their political crisis. but today is another sunny day in colorado, and with it comes new opportunity. julie dooley will roll out another batch of nutty bites and hope her boutique business
scale, everything is exponentially larger. profits but also loss. oh, baby. i missed my girls. they re starting to come along. my first true plants that i ve owned 100%. that s pretty cool. so we re adding more moby dick and blue-green back here that will be put in the cycle shortly. this is venom og. coming along very nicely. the facility ultimately has to be given its final certificate of occupancy, the c.o. until we have that last signature, you can t be producing oils. and that subsequently is what s contributing to what i would call, you know, an oil crisis. we re anticipating being out of production for about five days. reality is probably going to be closer to 12. look at this thing. this is the bottling equipment too. does it work? we had the largest month of production, subsequently largest month of invoicing.
my name is lewis koski. i m the director of the colorado marijuana enforcement division. things are different in colorado. it s the dmv for weed. the biggest challenge to this policy is how unique it is. it s really unique around the world. along with that certainly comes the challenges of being first. when we first started, there were no best practices developed on how you re going to regulate something like this. marijuana enforcement, this is lewis. from a public perspective, one of the biggest concerns everyone has is adolescents and youth. you are clear for takeoff down runway 420. but if the high-rolling marijuana business has hit a bump, it s edibles. it s very different from smoking. it takes a lot longer through the body. some first-time adult users have said edibles have made them paranoid and hallucinatory.
absolutely, sweetheart. right now we re shut down with production. i m ready to pull my hair out. obviously, incredibly excited, but in the same respect, frustrating. after coming under criticism by government regulatory agencies, the marijuana edibles industry is about to stand up and fire back inside the majestic chambers of the colorado state house is where they join the fight. thank you, everybody. we are now going to move on to the next set of rules. that is edible retail marijuana products. good morning. my name is rachel o brien. i m an attorney and founding member of smart colorado. we formed to protect kids as amendment 64 is implemented in colorado. good morning. my name is bob. i m also here to protect the children. i guess i take offense to the fact that certain people in this room think the edibles companies in this town are not interested in protecting our children. i have two teenagers myself. the marijuana industry
