March 12, 2015 meeting notes


We met at the Cheney Library and had 22 members present; we welcomed Joyce as a new member.


 Our speaker was Chris Youngs from Pure Joy Family farm, which is a marijuana growing business in Cheney Industrial Park.  He emphasized that this is a family run business and they want to be a good community partner.  The taxes collected on their product are earmarked for health benefits including addiction treatment and are to be returned to the communities that allow growers to operate.  They have an agricultural rating; their edibles are produced in an inspected kitchen and they only sell plants on a wholesale basis.  The THC content of their products is confirmed by independent lab tests and all plants are registered and tracked and currently they are required to deliver directly to retailers.  They have state of the art security and growing systems.
