Medical Marijuana’s Latest Investors?
The Federal Government + Pfizer
On April 1st, the House voted to “federally decriminalize”
cannabis in a 220-204 vote with bipartisan
support. The bill claims it “will prevent federal agencies
from denying federal workers security clearances for
cannabis use, and will allow the Veterans' Administration
to recommend medical marijuana to veterans
living with posttraumatic stress disorder, expunges
the record of people convicted of nonviolent cannabis
offenses, plus gains revenue by authorizing a sales tax
on marijuana sales.”
Over the past year, the federal government has gotten
a lot of criticism for subsidizing private companies for
electric cars and vaccine manufacturing, generating
private profit from public funding. If Pfizer received
$10 billion of our tax dollars for the vaccine, then profited
over $32 billion in 2021, why aren’t the American
taxpayers entitled to a return on investment?
The long-awaited federal change for cannabis reform
turns out to be timely for Pfizer with so much cash
on hand. In December 2021, Pfizer announced a $6.7
billion investment into medical marijuana, through
their acquisition of Area Pharmaceuticals Inc. The two
publicly traded companies agreed Pfizer would acquire
all outstanding shares of Arena in an all cash-transaction
at $100/share.
"The proposed acquisition of Arena complements
our capabilities and expertise in Inflammation and
Immunology, a Pfizer innovation engine developing
potential therapies for patients with debilitating immuno-inflammatory
diseases with a need for more effective
treatment options," commented Mike Gladstone,
global president of inflammation and immunology at
Pfizer.
Arena president and CEO of Amit D. Munshi stated,
“Arena’s potentially best in class S1P molecule
and our contribution to addressing unmet needs in
immune-mediated inflammatory diseases. Pfizer’s
capabilities will accelerate our mission to deliver our
important medicines to patients. We believe this transaction
represents the best next step for both patients
and shareholders.”
Historically, Pfizer is rooted in the medical marijuana
market. Its subsidiary Parke Davis was a leading American
distributor of medicinal cannabis in the early
1900s. In 2015, Forbes reported:
Parke Davis even worked with Eli Lilly to create its
own plant strain called Cannabis Americana, which
was a domesticated indica strain. Parke Davis was once
the largest drug company in America, but is now a
subsidiary of Pfizer…
No stranger to recreational drugs, Parke Davis originally
sold various forms of cocaine before it was illegal
and was also the patent holder for the drug PCP and
the developer of ketamine, another drug used for recreational
purposes. According to a spokesman at Pfizer,
the company is no longer involved in any cannabis
research and hasn't been for years.
Six years and $6.7 billion later, the company is now
leading cannabis research. While Pfizer studies cannabinoids
for autoimmune conditions, they have also
spent our tax dollars on an injection that causes them
- namely immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia, autoimmune
liver diseases, Guillain-Barré syndrome, IgA
nephropathy, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus
erythematosus, according to an NIH study released in
April 2022. Perhaps medical marijuana will help relieve
the side-effects that Pfizer tried to hide until 2076,
which would appear on-brand for the global giant considering
their release of heart medication for youth as
well as ongoing development for hair growth drugs.
If Pfizer can develop treatments for myocarditis and
alopecia which are linked to its own vaccines, why
wouldn’t they look to cannabis for the reported autoimmune
issues? The law?

Despite its longstanding classification prohibiting use,
the federal government has funded medical marijuana
studies by the billions since 2017, explicitly in HIV and
immunocompromised research. Researchers tend to
prefer synthetic cannabinoids because they are more
efficiently produced and easily controlled compared to
natural growth. So while our tax dollars have already
been funding GMO marijuana, possessing it medically
or recreationally in its natural form has been a felony
for citizens - until the bipartisan win for the April 1st
bill.
Whether Pfizer’s investment was a predetermined
move guided by the legislation that followed - or vice
versa - Americans have been confronted with unprecedented
government/pharmaceutical collusion over the
past 2 years. Government’s involvement in medicine
has taken the form of mandates, incentives, coercion,
job security, and of course, propaganda. A FOIA filed
by The Blaze revealed that the Biden Administration
paid hundreds of media companies millions of our tax
dollars to advertise COVID-19 vaccines, like ABC,
CBS, NBC, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, the Washington
Post, the New York Post, the Los Angeles Times, and
so on. Considering how collaboration among government
and big pharma has been directing the media,
could medical marijuana be their next poster child?
While it doesn’t look like we will be forced to subsidize
Pfizer joints and mandated to smoke them like their
vaccine and boosters, cannabis users have displayed
clear mistrust in Pfizer’s cannabis pursuit. In a poll of
500 smokers, only 4% said they would smoke a joint
manufactured by Pfizer, with 12% saying they would
take a Pfizer cannabis product in a medical situation as
recommended by a doctor.
State by state, we have seen what the medicalization
and recreationalization of marijuana looks like in various
models. Because each state is unique in its laws,
no single company has been able to swoop in and take
over the market. Despite varying taxes and restrictions,
production and sales in America’s current cannabis
trade have been regionally based because they had
to be, keeping farmers in reasonable control of their
business.
Nationally however, we are on the brink of witnessing
what the industrialization of marijuana will look like.
And yet again in the sphere of medical problems and
innovations, Pfizer appears to be leading the way.

pot, but North America has largely surpassed
the Netherlands as far as public accessibility
to recreational marijuana. While
Dutch law recognizes a “tolerance policy”
toward marijuana, it is still not legal, and
the gray areas between a licensed cannabis
coffee shop and legacy market has brought
the industry to be dominated by organized
crime. Amsterdam’s mayor is also dedicated
to outlawing use of cannabis coffee
shops to tourists to curtail crime.
Marijuana is decriminalized in Spain,
where medical access is regulated and recreational
users can join a Cannabis Social
Club. Luxemburg has legalized growing
and using cannabis, though not commerce.
France is piloting a free medical cannabis
program for cancer patients, while Switzerland
conducts scientific and economic
studies about the market and recreational
use. Italy and Malta continue to work on
decriminalization policies to combat the
black market. Still, can we really expect the
Old World to “catch up” to ours in today’s
volatile climate of invasion and war?
It’s 2022, and you still can’t legally purchase recreational marijuana
anywhere in Europe. While global medical measures
steadily expand following North America’s example, recreational
legislation continues to lag, leaving Europeans with a
growing grab-bag of “quasi-legalization” measures.
We all used to think of Amsterdam as the global hot spot for
According to Germany, yes. The coalition
that replaced Chancellor Angela Merkel
in December 2021 announced a plan to
legalize cannabis in November 2021. Since
medical cannabis was legalized in Germany
in 2017, the nation secured the largest
cannabis market in Europe. It is unclear
whether recreational legislation will permit
domestic cultivation, or that all use will
continue to be regulated by the government.
The University of Düsseldorf projects
over a $5.3 billion increase for annual
tax revenue with the recreationalization
of cannabis, as well as an estimated 27,000
jobs to manage the industry.
With Germany set to become the first European
country with a legal and regulated
market, could North America have a cutting
edge on exports? We have seen what
happens to states like Maine where canna-
J13

bis has surpassed the blueberry as its most lucrative cash
crop - what is the likelihood of revenue expanding to the
international market?
The US cannabis market continues to grow and break its
own records. By 4/20/21, Americans spent $112 million in
cannabis retail sales for the year. By 4/20/22, that revenue
increased by 38.1%, reaching $154.4 million. Still, we are not
the cannabis king of the world trade.
Thanks to the US’s continual failure to align federal policies with the will
of the states, Canadian companies currently dominate the global cannabis
market. The US’s federal restrictions forbid cannabis companies in
our stock exchange from dealing with the plant directly. This snag keeps
investment opportunities out of the pockets of American farmers and entrepreneurs,
and instead funds mega-corporations like Anheuser Busch for marijuana-infused beverage partnerships,
or biotech firms like the 22nd Century Group, which contracts out the genetic modification of the plant.
Tech companies are also included in the US exchange, such as NASDAQ’s Akerna, which connects data points
across the global cannabis supply chain. As of now, outlets like dispensaries and edible manufacturers are not
viable to be publicly traded.
Germany’s plan for recreational legalization intends to welcome US and Canadian cannabis companies into the
European market, but with a learning curve of international regulation.
“In Europe, businesses have to comply with the highest possible pharmaceutical standards, including good
manufacturing practices (GMP),” explained Curaleaf International CEO Antonio Costanzo. “It is not the case in
the United States and Canada, where their standards are lower than the pharmaceutical ones and specific for the
cannabis industry. Curaleaf International has already complied with the European regulation because it devel-
J16

oped it with EMMAC. Currently, we have cultivation
facilities in Portugal, two pharmaceutical labs in Spain,
and the United Kingdom that comply with European
standards. In this way, we can sell our products across
Europe, including the UK, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland.”
While Costanzo names Germany as Europe’s current
largest cannabis market followed by Italy and the UK,
due to differing policies, medical patients experience
limited options.
“The product that we can provide to European patients
depends on domestic regulation,” Costanzo stated.
“Today, the only available products are flowers and
extracts. However, we think to provide more product
formulations soon, including tablets, creams, gel, and
vaping devices. But, at the same time, we need an evolution
on the regulatory front in certain countries.”
Widespread distribution is a game that Curaleaf
dominates in the US, with investment partnerships
from North Dakota to New Jersey, not to mention 15
dispensaries in Florida alone. While small farmers
and cannabis retailers may not like the prospects of
a centralized cannabis market, the world seems to be
moving in that direction - fast.
projects legal sales to reach about $50 billion worldwide
by the year 2025 and $57 billion by the year 2027,
with the US & Canada generating about $46.5 billion
of sales. The largest growth rate is anticipated with a
projected $2 billion across world markets in 2027 with
67% of the market covered by recreational sales, and
the remaining 33% in medical.
“We shouldn’t forget that cannabis has been illegal for
over 70 years in the world,” Curaleaf ’s Constanzo also
stated. “I think that the stigma on cannabis is getting
removed, and its perception is also changing thanks to
medical cannabis development.”
As perceptions change, so does the market. Over the
past decade, millions of Americans have witnessed
the shift of the cannabis trade from our back-alleys
into retail stores with tax codes. And over the next five
years, we can plan on seeing what that looks like for
the rest of the planet as well.
In 2020, global cannabis sales increased by 48% since
2019, reaching nearly $21.3 billion, and are only continuing
to grow. The BDSA’s global cannabis forecast

Who, What & Why
Are MOTACOIN

drive popular legacy coins like Bitcoin and Peercoin.
In my original article on the subject back in
2019 I wrote the following:
“Think of MotaCoin as the Bitcoin of the cannabis
industry, but better. Better because its safe, secure,
and peer-to-peer. Better because, unlike Bitcoin’s
overly inflated fees, MotaCoin’s transaction fees are
less than one millionth of a penny. Better, most of
all, because it was actually designed to be what a
cryptocurrency is supposed to be - currency. Too
many cryptocurrencies have become assets to be
traded and speculated on rather than what they
truly are - a giant middle finger to the current
financial monopolies.”
MotaCoin was created, first and foremost, to solve a problem.
The financial burden on cannabis dispensaries and related
businesses has become a massive problem. Banks are
either unable or unwilling to provide banking and digital
payment processing services to honest licensed canna-businesses,
creating a very inconvenient - and frankly
dangerous - “cash only” situation on the ground for otherwise
upstanding people and entrepreneurs. At its core,
MotaCoin is a decentralized digital currency also known as
cryptocurrency. For anyone who is unfamiliar with “crypto”,
it’s really pretty simple. It isn’t “magical internet money”,
although it can admittedly feel like that sometimes. It’s
created by a set of rules called a protocol. Each coin can
have a slightly different set of rules, or even slight variations
of existing sets of rules. MotaCoin has basically done
both. They have solved issues with security AND accessibility
in a unique combination of those sets of rules that
Turns out I was right. The MotaCoin team have
countered one of the biggest complaints hurled
at cryptocurrency: functionality. Can it be USED?
Well, Mota sure can; and IS. In fact, it's already
being used in a number of shops and dispensaries
and even at events like the 2019 Mota Cup! Besides
that, they’ve solved issues of scalability and accessibility
that have plagued other crypto projects.
Remember those sets of rules? Well, MotaCoin
uses a hybrid mining protocol that combines Proof
of Work (POW) and Proof of Stake (POS). Proof
of Work protocols require a lot of computational
power to solve “blocks'' and add them to the blockchain
and Proof of Stake protocols simply require
users to hold, or stake, coins on the blockchain.
The new hybrid consensus used by MotaCoin
greatly increases the integrity and reliability of the
blockchain by adding in critical safeguards to
block against double spending attacks. The network
is ultra secure and lightning fast, providing
users an easier and safer way to make transactions
without the need to collect personal information.
I know it can sound like another language sometimes
but the important things to take away are
that it's here to stay, its ultra-secure, and when it
comes to spending it, it's no different than
making an online purchase with a digital credit
card or sending a Venmo with the scan of a QR
code - only decentralized, faster, and infinitely
more secure then either. MotaCoin is definitely
making waves, not only in the cannabis industry
but in the crypto space as well - and it shows.
In the short few years that have passed since I was

introduced to this amazing project, the team has made some critical moves and met some impressive milestones.
With that in mind, let's catch up on everything new and exciting that’s been going on!
What’s New With MOTACOIN
Coinbase.com is now tracking MotaCoin's market analytics which gives them
access to some cool functions they offer, such as their how-to-buy tutorials
The team has clearly been busy, despite that nearly global shutdown we’re collectively trying to forget (might
need some stronger indicas for that!). The MotaCoin crew has been making strides these past few years nevertheless,
and the results are pretty impressive to say the least.
Just as one example, MotaCoin was listed on BlockchainFinancial.com, an online exchange and crypto enthusiast
all-in-one stop, and on 4/20, 2020 MOTA was integrated into their “AutoCash System”, making it possible to
send, receive, tip, trade and even utilize MotaCoin directly on the Blockchain Financial ecosystem. More importantly
however, it accomplished the huge step of allowing end users to convert MotaCoin to any local fiat currency
supported, including US dollars, without the need - or interference - of the big banks.
After that, the team saw a domino effect begin to take place with more and more interest in the project. In October
of that same year, MotaCoin was listed on FreiExchange.com. This move had the added benefit of making
FreiExchange a sort of canna-crypto hub as it supports PotCoin, a partner team, as well. Being more open to
these cannabis projects has made Frei the main trading platform for MOTA. Just a short month later, MotaCoin
began being fully tracked on CoinMarketCap.com, the world's most-referenced and trusted price-tracking website
for crypto assets. In fact, CMC is the very first app I used to track coins when I initially got into cryptocurrency,
before I ever made my first trade. This development was huge because it greatly added to the coins’ branding
and profile, making it much more of a project to really be taken seriously by others. Sure enough, only a few
weeks after being tracked by CoinMarketCap, Coinbase got in on the action and started tracking MOTA’s market
analytics as well, opening users up to some cool functions they offer like short form tutorials such as “How to
Buy MotaCoin”. Even if you barely know anything about crypto, it’s likely you’ve heard about Coinbase. That’s
J24

how well known they are in the ever expanding crypto space. Coinbase is the first exchange I ever used and even
though it's not the only one I use anymore, I still trade on their platform to this day. MotaCoin showing up on
Coinbase’s radar definitely bodes well for the amazing momentum the team has been building!
What else has been App-ening?
In between being integrated into BlockchainFinancial and listed on a cascade of exchanges and tracking services,
the MotaCoin team hit a HUGE milestone. Although the Android wallet was published in the Google App Store
back in mid-2018, it only created access to MotaCoin for roughly half of all potential users. All that changed on
May 2nd, 2020, when the iOS wallet dropped in the iPhone App Store. It was critical to finish developing both
the Android & iOS Wallets to enable full scale retail adoption. Now everybody has the ability to use MOTA with
state of the art mobile wallets featuring strong security with the latest encryption & ease of use with a slick design.
The team, of course, hasn’t stopped there. I told you, they’ve been BUSY! In September of 2021 they introduced
their Rasberry Pi wallet. Besides making the coin more accessible, particularly to Raspberry Pi enthusiasts, it
also allows for the creation of what’s called a “Stake-Box” which stakes your MOTA on the low power consuming
Raspberry Pi 2/3/4! With all the (misguided and misunderstood) talk about cryptocurrency and energy consumption,
the RasPi wallet is the perfect solution for a green future, specifically highlighting power efficiency
and energy conservation. In a crucial step of this ongoing process, the MotaCoin team has been
granted Apple & Microsoft Developer/Publisher accounts, used to cryptographically sign the MotaCoin desktop
wallet executables, which allows for the Windows, Mac & Linux operating systems to recognize MotaCoin
wallets as being published through verified means. This is a very important detail that a lot of projects tend to
overlook. Now with all that under their belt, the project can shift gears to focus on what it was meant to do - increasing
adoption as far and wide as possible in the cannabis industry.
New Places To Learn About and Use MOTA
MotaCoin has already been accepted as payment in several businesses across the industry for some time, most
notably at 4 dispensary locations - 3 storefronts in Maine, including Humble Family Farms and a wide spread
delivery service in sunny Orange County, California! They have also been accepted for purchases at online headshops
like Heady Treasures and Huffy Puffy. Now, as of summer, 2021, MotaCoin can be spent at Bell Smoke
Shop and New Edge Smoke & Vape, both in Massachusetts. What is really cool about the new locations is an
innovative idea the project team came up with. The informative MOTA Poster at these locations ALSO acts as a
“faucet”.
A crypto faucet is a way for users to get small amounts of free crypto. Free money! Faucets have been around for
a long time. The original bitcoin faucets used to give you 5 BTC every time you clicked it (a max of once ever
couple of hours). Can you imagine that! Of course it was pretty worthless then but anyone collecting from those
faucets back then is very happy today! Faucets, by their very nature, are typically digital and online but the MotaCoin
team has come up with a very cool physical solution to the classic faucet. The MOTA poster has a paper
wallet on it, which is programmatically filled with MOTA so that people who interact with the poster can
download the appropriate mobile wallet and scan the QR to transfer the balance. Simple as that. If it’s not enough
that you can mint new MOTA simply by holding it (staking), the team is coming up with ways to literally GIVE
you free coin. The faucet refills every 5 hours. You’re welcome Massachusetts!
MotaCoin in the Media
I really enjoyed my introduction to the project and the team back when I covered the MotaCup for Greenleaf
Magazine in the Dec 2019 issue. It was a fun article to write and a great team to work with. Since then, I’m glad
to report that they have been making a bit more buzz.

to report that they have been making a bit more
buzz.
In January of 2021, Data Driven Investor on Medium
released an article called, “Marijuana —Has the Investment
Boat Sailed?” in which the author discussed
several aspects of investing in and funding in the wider
cannabis industry. Included was a brief look at the
various cryptocurrencies currently in the space, and on
MotaCoin specifically, had this to say:
“There is still room for a cannabis focused cryptocurrency
to carve out a lucrative niche in this market but
they must sign one or more of the big MSO to gain
credibility. Potcoin and MotaCoin in our opinion are
in the best position to do that.”
Considering the two new locations to sign on later
that summer, as well as the increased accessibility
and greener mining with Raspberry Pi, I’d say they
were spot on. Towards the end of 2021, Hodlershub
(“HODL” is a slang term in the crypto world based on
a typo of the word ‘hold’), another online Crypto-enthusiast
hang-out published an interview with Jahvinci,
the founder of MotaCoin. It’s a great read and very
informative but one part in particular kind of jumped
out at me as why this team is having such great success.
You know the super cool “faucet” posters I mentioned
before. Well there’s more to them than that! When
asked what makes his canna-crypto project unique,
Jahvinci replied:
“MotaCoin is the only cannabis crypto project that
offers donations as incentives
through our Business Recruitment Fund. Up to 25,000
MotaCoin are donated to
each new business or licensed pharmacy/dispensary
that uses MotaCoin and
puts up a MotaCoin poster in their store, as well as
stocking MotaCoin brochures
near the point of sale terminal. All of which is sent to
the business cost-free.“
Investor Observer has written a number of pieces on
MotaCoin as they follow the project's rise. They seem
to be fairly impressed because in their latest release just
a few days ago on July 10,2022 titled “What's Next for
Bullish Rated MotaCoin (MOTA)?” they gave MOTA
a bullish rating despite the fact that the crypto market
more broadly has been rather bearish during the
prolonged dip that started last holiday season. Even
though MOTA, and the market more generally are still
down, Investor Observer is recommending MotaCoin
“for both short-term investors looking to ride a rally
and longer-term investors trying to buy the dip.”
It’s safe to say that team MotaCoin is making some
major waves. If you haven’t heard of them till now, it's
time to start paying attention and even get involved.
You can jump in anywhere from using MOTA to buy
beautifully curated buds (from licensed dispensaries)
to accepting MOTA at your cannabis related business.
At the VERY least, you could try visiting one of the
new locations to check out the innovative posters and
claim your free MOTA. Once you open that door, the
possibilities are nearly endless!

Talk about a killer business plan! Giving back is built
in from grassroots up. I think that, although they are a
cryptocurrency, the MOTA team has really managed to
capture the spirit of the counterculture they set out to
serve. It seems to be paying off because people are
beginning to pay closer attention.Even people well
outside the everyday cannabis world.
MotaCoin being listed on FreiExchange.com was a nice step forward as
this exchange also PotCoin & CannabisCoin, making it a hub of sorts of
cannabis related crypto’s. FreiExchange.com is currently the main trading
hub for MotaCoin.

"microBIOMETER® is a 20-minute on-site soil test to determine
microbial biomass and fungal to bacterial ratio. This lab grade soil
test is simple to perform with rapid results. It’s faster, less expensive
and more accurate than sending your soil to labs because microbes
start dying once they are removed from the earth." Having a soil
tester, whether indoors or outdoors, is essential to making sure
your plants are going to, and are growing at their highest potential
and health. Whether you are growing Cannabis, Vegetables or
Flowers, this is an amazing product that will absolutely aid in creating a successful garden. Having healthy fungal
and bacterial ratios in your soil is so important. Out in nature, the fungi and bacteria work harmoniously
with the roots of the plants as a somewhat exchange program. The fungi and bacteria breakdown sediments and
compost, allowing them to become more bioavailable for the plants to uptake through their roots. In return,
the plants provide carbon dioxide for the microbes to eat. Use the movie "Avatar" and a visual reference. And if
the root system of the plant is happy and healthy, the upper part of the plant, will thrive as well. "As Above, So
Below."
Soil tests can be expensive, and a bit of a hassle. The microBIOMETER puts an end to that. It is easy to
use and will automatically log your results in their app. As stated on MicroBIOMETER's website, " Soil microbes
secrete a substance that binds non-living soil particles to each other and to themselves. Our patented
method extracts the microbes from the bound soil particles which then settle to the bottom. The soil-colored
microbes remain suspended in the fluid and are sampled. The sample is placed on a testcard which is scanned
using a smartphone (iPhone or Android). Our smartphone application measures the color intensity of the
microbes as compared to a color comparator surround on the testcard. The results were validated using a computerized
analysis of numerous microscopic images
of microBIOMETER® extracts from many different
soils. We found a 95% correlation with the area of
the microbes in these images and the results reported
for microbial biomass and fungal to bacterial
ratios using microBIOMETER."
The microBIOMETER tells you:
The higher the microbial biomass, the more nutrients available
to your plant naturally, decreasing or eliminating the need for
chemical fertilizers.
Microbes, especially fungi, are building soil structure
which prevents erosion.
If microbial biomass decreases after applying chemical fertilizer,
you have used too much.
F:B ratio of rhizosome soil will tell you if arbuscular
mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have colonized your plant making it
more resistant to drought and pests.
An increase in the F:B ratio indicates the green manure you
used is optimal.
Soil organic carbon is mainly the bodies of dead microbes, so
if you are not increasing your microbes you are not building
soil health or sequestering carbon.
A rapid increase in MB indicates the effectiveness of cover
crops and amendments.

GREEN-ROOMS:
Like Farmer Like Sons Catering
By: ChefMD
Green-Rooms:
Like a scene from ‘Almost Famous’, I find myself backstage in the Greenroom. Musicians, artists and a
halo of smoke midway between the floor and the ceiling like some type of cannabis purgatory. Drinks pouring,
beers opening, people in every direction with variations of intensity as crew and management delegate orders,
reminders and admiration to the revolving cast of friends, photographers and randoms that pass through the
green room ‘pre-show.’
I find myself politely jockeying for a corner of the room out of the way, yet somehow central, working-tightly
and quickly. I unpack an oversized Pelican cooler, filled with the bands catering:
a seemingly disordered amalgamation of items, all in different stages of completion. (The trick is to prep the
food & assemble onsite, without losing any of the foods integrity)
The energy in the air is more than electric and the clients are more than eclectic. This isn’t a regular
catering gig, not an anniversary or a Bar Mitzvah: This is “The Green Room” and ‘Green’ is the operative word.
It’s Summer, it’s festivals and we are serving “Elevated Appetizers” for rock Stars and Celebrities, and when I say
“Elevated” I mean “infused.”
What could be better? Backstage with your favorite bands, having a couple of ‘wobbly Pops’ and eating
high-end-infused appetizers?
Dear Diary: “How did I get
this job?!”
As that thought
passes through my head, I
quickly get back to work.
On the Menu:
Herb Rubbed-Prosciutto
wrapped pork tenderloin,
over an infused
-roasted garlic crostini:
Finished with an infused
Apple Compote. (This is
one of my favorites, super
versatile).
I am using 1oz of
“Garlic Breath Strain” made
into an oil & mounted with
roasted garlic oil, (equal
parts).
For the apple compote,
I am folding in a
tincture I made from 1oz
of “strawberry diesel cookies”
by Children of The Soil
(Biddeford, ME) its indoor
& the seeds by ‘Oni Seeds.’

Procedure:
Prep: as mentioned assembly without losing the foods integrity. Prep-Prep-Prep. Make your oil and tincture
prior (obviously) herb rub your pork tenderloin, season it, then wrap tightly with thin slices of prosciutto.
Pan-Sear the prosciutto pork, browning all sides and letting it rest at mid-rare. (it will carry over to medium)
once cooled down slice into ¼ inch medallions ad reserve.
Crostini: Slice a French baguette into ¼ inch slices as well, oil, salt, pepper and roast at 375 degrees until golden
and moisture free. (Reserve until assembly).
Roasted Garlic Oil: Roast off your garlic cloves in vegetable oil (slowly) until the garlic cloves are golden and soft
to the touch. Cool the oil and strain. Once cooled down, mount this garlic oil with your cannabis infused oil
50/50 equal parts. Reserve the oil in a squeeze bottle, for the crostini.
Apple Compote:
The apple compote is finely diced Jonagold Apples, red onions, thyme, rosemary, allspice, apple cider
vinegar and salted butter.
In a large sauté pan, sauté ¼ cup of diced red onion, (small dice) with a touch of oil, add in the apples,
salt, pepper. Add 1 tsp of cider vinegar, 1 tsp ground allspice, mix together. (there should be liquid from apples
releasing moisture). Add a ¼ stick of salted butter and reduce the compote mixture, the liquid will cook out and
thicken, take off the heat and add a pinch of chopped rosemary and thyme. Transfer to a tray and cool down.
Once cooled down transfer to a bowl and fold in ¼ cup of the “strawberry diesel cookie tincture”. Reserve until
assembly time refrigerated.
Having prepped and assembled all my products, it’s simply a matter of finding a space in this green room
where I can slap on some gloves and start making magic. As I cut through the lingering smog and claim my
corner; my pink Pelican cooler is catching the eyes of the artists, as they contemplate what goodies I might be
unveiling: or is “this tattooed, big bearded man just a homeless guy who looks like he really has his shit together?
has he somehow gotten by security?
A small crowd gathers about as I start to unpack, the artist and musicians suddenly are as excited as I am
to be there. As I start to rattle off my Elevator pitch:
“This is a Herb roasted prosciutto wrapped Pork Tenderloin, over a roasted garlic infused crostini,
topped with an infused Apple Compote, finished with micro greens. Its sweet, its salty, its earthy and you’re going
to love it.”
The excitement builds as I start the assembly-Roasted Garlic Crostini, hit with a drizzle of the garlic
breath infused oil, salt; then a medallion of the prosciutto pork (1/4 inch thick) on top of crostini. Next your
apple compote with herbs and diesel tincture. Just a dollop and garnish with micro greens. Release the doves and
the crowd goes wild.
I usually get 20 orders per tenderloin and we serve this app at room temperature. This is a great appetizer
and you change out the toppings and fold in your oils or tinctures with a number of ingredients, this dish travels
well and has a ‘High” impact.
The next time you’re catering a Green Room or if you're just trying to make your family gatherings more
interesting, try ‘Elevating” your appetizers.
