Our May 10 Meeting will be the final night for Officer and Board nominations, with voting in June. Each year, half of the Director seats are open for reelection.

Mike and John will be leaving the Board. Charles Marek will be stepping down from the Vice President position to become a member of the Board and Frank Hepner has been nominated for Vice President.

THE DOCK L INE
A P R I L M E E T I N G H I G H L I G H T S Dave Hash introduced AFS Maryland’s Drew Reich, Regional Sales Manager and Dr. Marilyn Corder, Clinical Director of Oceans Dispensary. Of the 102 filings for medical marijuana dispensa-ries, many did not file follow up papers therefore only 45 will be open in the foreseea-ble future. Drew provided an overview of cannabis. There are two types of Cannabis, Sativa-which is invigorating and Indica-which is calming. Hybrids are also being devel-oped. Two chemicals are im-portant in the production of medical marijuana, Canna-bidiol (CBD) and Tetrahydro-

cannabinol (THC). THC is the psychoactive chemical that provides the “high” that recreational users seek. CBD is the second largest volume of plant extract with medical benefits, from treating migraine and motion sickness to IBS and Parkinson's. CBDs are non-psychoactive with limited side effects. The medical formulas are customized for each patient’s specific condition and treatment involves titering to achieve the desired af-fect. Medical marijuana is also being researched in the treatment of PTSD.
Dr. Corder shared a personal story about how she gained insight into the benefits of herbal medicine. She is a geneticist and pediatrician and believes we need to do a better job with pain management without the use of opioids. She is excited about the prospect of the medical marijuana field.
For those who believe they could benefit from this treatment they would first need to go online to the Mary-land Medical Cannabis Commission and receive an ID number. Patients then go to their regular doctor for documentation and if that doctor is certified they will receive documentation. If not they would be directed to a certified doctor (licensed by the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission). After receiving their ID number and documentation patients would go to the dispensary for a consultation with Dr. Corder. Once provided, patient allotments are closely tracked by the system. State cards need to be renewed every 2 yrs. Products cannot be consumed on the premises and by law can only be consumed at home.
As a security protocol, initial consultations are by appointment only. The Oceans Dispensary hours will start out as Thursday-Sunday, 11-7. It is a cash only service. When questioned about security it was explained that the vault is in the middle of the space with a 1000 lb. safe, Garda will pick up the cash. There will be 32 cameras inside and out. Additional questions were raised about the location– zoning requirements limited where they could be; and the products-edibles are not allowed to be purchased so most of the product is in the form of creams, patches, lotions, balms, inhaler, concentrates and ingredients to make edibles.

With a great sense of loss we acknowledge the April 5th passing
of Sharon Cadden. She and her husband Bob were long-time
members who, amongst other things, helped with preparing and
mailing the Dock Line. Recently she was very involved in acquir-
ing tea cups for the May 20th Just BQuz Children’s Mad Hatter
Tea Party. Though her smile and helpfulness will be greatly
missed, she is now with her dear Bob. We understand there will
be a service for her at St Matthews Church sometime in May.
