Living Wage <br />While we are not required by law, our store adheres to compensation policies that are <br />consistent with Orange County's "living wage" rates for staff and employees. Rates specified for 2017 <br />are a minimum of $14.48 per hour. Our current pay rate exceeds these standards. We will ensure that <br />new, continued, extended or otherwise amended employment contracts will incorporate the living <br />wage in effect at the time of the contract change. We intend to provide good wages to our staff, and <br />we make every effort to maintain positive relations with our staff and keep them working with us as <br />long as possible. We also believe in promoting from within if that talent is available. We feel this is <br />what makes our store an exciting and fruitful place to work. <br />Educational Awareness Program <br />420 Central has implemented an educational awareness program that explains the benefits <br />and potential abuses of cannabis. Upon the request of any patient or caregiver member, we provide <br />information and/or referrals to substance abuse disorder education, prevention, and treatment <br />programs. As part of our patient -education program, we also intend to begin providing every new <br />patient or caregiver at our dispensary facility a Patient Handbook that includes information about the <br />benefits of using medical cannabis as well as information about safe use and potential abuse. During <br />each new patient/caregiver's initial orientation, we will provide an overview of the information in the <br />Patient Handbook to ensure comprehension. Both the handbook and the orientation will include <br />information directing patients/caregivers to staff points -of -contact at our facility so that they may ask <br />specific questions about medical cannabis, and if requested, can be directed to additional information <br />about substance abuse disorder education, prevention, and treatment programs. <br />In addition, we will provide regularly scheduled educational opportunities for our members, <br />including seminars and workgroups on a range of topics. Some of the topics we will provide <br />educational training on include Responsible Use, Home Cultivation., Methods of. Ingestion, Nutrition, <br />and other topics of interest to our patient members and staff. <br />Reduced Pricing Plan <br />420 Central offers a reduced pricing plan for qualified low-income patients and military <br />veterans, as well as a program offering complimentary medicine to qualified patients. We honor our <br />seniors, military veterans, and SSI patients with regular discounts on their fees for medicine and <br />services. We offer a 20% discount on all 420 Central products to these groups of patients. We believe <br />in helping our patients that are less fortunate. <br />Packaging, Labeling and Warning Requirements <br />420 Central currently adheres to all California Medical Marijuana Regulation Safety Act <br />requirements for packaging and labeling the medical cannabis and medical cannabis products we <br />provide to patients. We are highly committed to using packaging and labeling that best promotes safe <br />
