Miami Beach Bans


Smoking Cannabis
in Public

Lynn Young
Since the decriminalization of hemp in Miami,
many minor Marijuana charges have been
dropped or will no longer be prosecuted. Though
hemp has been decriminalized, public officials
have taken to banning the use of cannabis and
hemp in public, since hemp and cannabis are
practically indistinguishable. The city has opted
to make smoking cannabis in public a criminal
offense rather than using a civil citation system,
which could result in the arrests of more youth
and people of color. The ACLU, among other
organizations, opposed the new law because of its
criminal charges, claiming it should be akin to a
traffic ticket.
According to Miami Beach Times, “Under the city's
new law, anyone observed smoking cannabis,
hemp, or marijuana on a public right-of-way is
subject to a fine of up to $500 and up to 60 days in
county jail.” Before this the Miami Beach police had
no real precedent for dealing with public cannabis
consumption. Citing a specific incident, "During
Columbus Day weekend, we had an individual
that chose to stand on top of a police vehicle while
openly consuming marijuana," Miami Beach Capt.
Daniel Morgalo stated. "So had that individual not
been doing that — had he not been standing on top
of the police vehicle and breaking other laws — we
would not have a mechanism in place at this point
to deal with this specific type of behavior."
With Miami being such a party destination, it will
be interesting to see how it unfolds (and whether
or not they’d actually be able to enforce them) and
how tourists will react to the new laws.

EVENT RECAP

Edibles Magazine
at The Los Angeles
Comic Con

Patrick Ian Moore


This was the third year in a row The Edibles Magazine
team had a booth and did a panel at The Los Angeles
Comic Book Convention. This year we were once again
selling rolling trays, silicone and glass pipes and bongs,
cannabis themed baseball hats and it was better than
ever. We had a full staff this year so doing our special
Cannabis panel was easier than in years past. Returning
panel guests from last year included rapper Ta Smallz
and artist Richard Bell, and we welcomed first time
guest Brett Carreras to The Edibles Magazine panel.
Brett is the creator of The Virginia Comic Con and is one
of the nation’s leading experts on comic books and it was
great having him there.It was also great having Edibles
Magazine creator B. Le Grand back on the panel this
year. We discussed a lot of cannabis in pop culture topics
and and realized there are no hip-hop songs about CBD.
There are more people who attend our panel every year
so it’s nice to be experiencing exponential growth that
way. LACC is one of the biggest events we attend with
over 100,000 guests coming every year, so it’s extra cool
being the only cannabis company there. This year we
brought Speed Weed with us so if people really wanted
to order cannabis or infused products they could go
through them and pick them up right off site. We even
had some special LA Comic Con promotions that
featured products by The Mystery Baking Company and
Budease. It was a pretty special service to be offering.
We’re already getting excited about next year and
hopefully we can find some other comic cons to set
up our booth at between now and then.Watching all of
the mind-blowing costumes is the highlight every time.
You never know what character might walk by next,
might be Batman or it might be Mario, but regardless
of who there’s a strong chance they might want to
buy a Deadpool bong or a Family Guy rolling tray and
that’s why we go back and have so much fun every year.
Hopefully we’ll see you there some day.

HIGH MOVIE REVIEW (cont'd)

Crazy Rich Asians


Continued from PG 55
relate to these scenarios directly, as my mother was an
immigrant that came to America to escape a life of martial law
and communism where she was from. My grandmother had
stories of having to swim through dead bodies in a sea stained
red by blood, to get to the boat, filled with more dead bodies,
as a 5 year old with her family escaping to Taiwan from the
Chinese war.
My grandparents immigrated after their children did, so I was
lucky enough to have the memories of making dumplings as
a family together. My Chinese grandparents didn’t speak any
English so I had to learn broken Chinese to communicate with
them, and everytime I would speak Chinese they would tell
me how American my accent sounded. But even in my own
Chinese family, I am half-white, and even being American-
born like my cousins, I’m still looked at as different.
Not only does Crazy Rich Asians accurately tackle Chinese
culture, and the guilt and judgment that takes place within
their own families, it shatters any stereotype or mold that
Hughiearen’t

marketable in a Romantic Comedy. I actually
can’t remember the last time I paid to see a rom-com in the
theaters. I usually try to spare my boyfriend and we’ll stream
on Amazon or Netflix some rom-com that had been released
earlier this year, and we’ll save the movies like superhero films
for the big screen.
There was something very special about this film, and it was
beyond a great cast, good acting, it really had a great storyline
that expanded beyond just a boy meets girl, and happy ending.
They say the best movies are based on books, and this one
comes in a 3 part series. We hope that they will get greenlight
for the next two studio releases, and we hope this sets a new
precedent on casting with representation. They also say there
are no bad actors, just bad casting.
Henry Golding plays handsome and charming, so believably
well in his first movie role. Constance Wu plays a perfect
“banana,” a term used in the film to reference her as “yellow
on the outside and white on the inside.” Awkwafina plays the
comic relief so well, I feel like everyone has a friend like her in
their group they can relate to.
I don’t want to give too many spoilers, but its funny, it’s
moving, it’s believable and takes place in a modern day setting
that feels real to the viewer. It is just one culture tackled, and
hopefully so many more to come. It feels like a special time in
history for films like Black Panther and Crazy Rich Asians to
be made. In Crazy Rich Asians, you could replace Asians with
black, Greeks, latino, white, etc. and it would still be relatable
because the story is about identity, knowing who you are,
tradition, approval from your family and following your heart.
I read and heard other press interviews about the movie before
I saw it, and the best way it’s been put but John Chu the director
himself, by the end of the movie you don’t even notice you’re
watching a film about Asians, you’re watching a great story.
That’s why you should see it, it’s a great film, it’s making
history, and you get to see the 1% of the 1% of the opulence
in Asia.
