D Security E Employee training and qualifications F Waste Disposal Who needs a Marijuana Handler Permit? Each licensee, employee, or agent of a marijuana establishment who sells, cultivates, manufactures, tests, or transports marijuana or marijuana product, or who checks the identification of a consumer of visitor, must obtain a marijuana handler permit card from AMCO before being licensed or beginning employment at a marijuana establishment, per 3 AAC Marijuana handler permits are valid for three years from the date of issue Marijuana Handlers Need to Know (course curriculum includes the following): AS 17.37, AS17.38, and 3 AAC 306 The effects of consumption of marijuana and marijuana products. How to identify a person impaired by consumption of marijuana. How to determine valid identification. How to intervene to prevent unlawful marijuana consumption. The penalty for an unlawful act by a licensee, an employee or an agent of a marijuana establishment. 4

6 Understanding the product. The effects of consumption of marijuana and marijuana products: THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) acts on specific brain cell receptors that ordinarily react to natural THC-like chemicals in the brain. These natural chemicals play a role in normal brain development and function. CBD (cannabidiol) is a cannabinoid that does not affect the mind or behavior. It may be useful in reducing pain and inflammation, controlling epileptic seizures, and possibly even treating mental illness and addictions. Resource *Drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuana-medicine 06/15/2016 Marijuana over-activates parts of the brain that contain the highest number of these receptors. This causes the "high" that users feel. Other effects include: altered senses (for example, seeing brighter colors) altered sense of time changes in mood impaired body movement difficulty with thinking and problem-solving Long-term effects Marijuana also affects brain development. Marijuana s effects on these abilities may last a long time or even be permanent. For example, a study showed that people who started smoking marijuana heavily in their teens and had an ongoing cannabis use disorder lost an average of eight IQ points between ages 13 and 38. The lost mental abilities did not fully return in those who quit marijuana as adults. Those who started smoking marijuana as adults did not show notable IQ declines. 3 Resource *Drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/marijuanaimpaired memory 6/15/2016 5
