THC WEEKLY NEWS by Jessica LeRoux - September 16, 2013

Hey Now, 

The Cheesecake Lady

I am guessing that you all have had enough bad news personally around CO, and that those of you paying attention know that with weeks to go no good news is coming out of MED or DOR, while I have plenty of accurate but sobering updates in this week's newsletter I would like to start the week on an UP note! 

Tomorrow Tuesday the 17th will be officially the 4th anniversary of becoming a legal LLC for Twirling Hippy Confections (to get technical Ive used the same name and logo since 2000). 

*If you are not concerned with the regs at the very least scroll down to see my bad-ass new Steal Your Fruit 150 Mg lighting bolted cheesecakes!  

We have a bunch of new products, and if you order by 4pm on Tuesday you will get a discount of 4% off of all orders of 30 units or more! 

help us celebrate years of committed service to the industry, order some of our new products, do a sale on your old stuff but one way or another lets make tomorrow a Twirling Tuesday for our Birthday friends!

on a personal note I will also be old, I am turning 40 over the weekend, so I really need the filthy largess of your huge and massive orders to console myself with male strippers and chocolate. For real!  

Must read regarding the MITs system http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2013/09/marijuana_recreational_pot_rules.php Here is some additional stuff I feel you all should know about this MITs system... 

#1 Franwell the company that "designed" our system is pretty much the Haliburton of tracking systems and they specialize in government/private sector projects. Franwell has been LATE on their last three projects that they have done for government interface programs. 
#2 This MITs system is required whether you are converting to recreational, seeking dual licensing or remaining Medical only. 
#3 The new rules for both medical and recreational REQUIRE not only purchasing the yet unfinished Franwell system, but you must have had an owner take a compliance class on using the system by December 31st. If the system is not operational by that date there is NO sales of cannabis recreational or MEDICAL allowed period as there is no backup, meaning there is NO other way to operate your business legally if the MITs system is down or not yet ready for activation. 
We absolutely MUST demand a price cap on this system, and a back up option for days when the system fails. enough is enough!

If you don't think that MITS bs is gonna be a big deal you haven't been reading the rules! here is a link, get started asap! 

The State Licensing Authority has finalized and adopted both sets of rules, which are available online at:  http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/Revenue-Main/XRM/1251633708470 (retail) and http://www.colorado.gov/cs/Satellite/Rev-MMJ/CBON/1251638236638 (medical).

Three takes on the flooding: 

Heavy Heavy Heart. News is confirming the rumors that Ive hoped were wrong. The man killed by rockslide in James Town reported to be Joey Howlett, former owner of the Merc. Joe was one of my very first commercial bakery accounts. I lived in Jamestown in 2000-2001 and I used to make the Merc's cakes every week for the weekend crowd. Joey was one of the 1st to believe in my work (even without the medicine!) and i will never forget Him or my gratitude to the Merc for giving me a foot in the door.

many of my clients and friends with grows reporting power outages and flooding. If we wanna see some legal weed available for retail sales in january, EVERYBODY in the industry who has a safe garden needs to take some clones that you are willing to give for free to those in the industry who have lost their girls.

Partying with the Frackers while the very communities that oppose drilling get hammered!
