State inspectors gave the nod in Tucson on Thursday to the state’s first commercial cannabis kitchen, Heavenly Harvest, where staff were making cannabis butter, stuffing ovens and mixing spices to bring their edibles to Green Halo dispensary patients as soon as possible.
“We expect to have a full line of edibles out by Saturday,” said Heather Manus, the registered nurse who manages the non-profit associated with the Green Halo dispensary. Both are at 7710 S. Wilmot Road, just off Interstate 10.
Although the former sub shop was already a commercial kitchen, there were additional considerations for handling cannabis, forcing the kitchens opening to lag behind the dispensary by nine days. The line of goodies will include the ubiquitous brownie, cookies, cakes, hard candies and suckers, chocolates, spices, salad oil, tinctures and hot sauce, all carefully dosed so you know what you’re getting. They will also stock Green Halo with non-psychoactive ointments for pain relief.
Manus was moved to near tears as the inspectors left Thursday, when she realized the approval was finally happening.
“I am so grateful that we have the opportunity to provide this type of meds,” she said later in the day.
Initially, the kitchen will supply edibles for The Green Halo, which is open daily from 10 a.m.-7 p.m. For a map, menu and other information, see TheGreenHalo.org.

Can I use my medical card from Nevada in Arizona?
How many people that are getting “medical” mrijuana actually need it?
mriijuana ? never heard of it.
What does it matter if someone really “needs” it or not? It’s none of your business what a free individual chooses to ingest. Talk about OCD Reefer Madness…
I found a great place like this on my hedonistic journey to Amsterdam in the nineties and my sweet tooth is SCREAMING for me to patronize this business! Too bad I can’t obtain a Medical Cannabis card. It also sucks that Amsterdam is so far away & so cold right now. 🙁
J.m.smith your a joke!! you will give anyone props just to get a little high for free.just like how you contacted a doc on how to get some pot because you couldn’t get anything good april 2011.now lets see how well of a reporter you are now and do your best to investigate kenneth Alan Sobel. You will see that ken is a dirt bag .I can’t belive the police chief will allow ken sobel to have a dispensary here in globe, Arizona the people here have started a pettion and have been able to get some much on this Kenneth Alan sobel .my goodness he even was nailed in October 2012 for driving on a fake license plate real good guy up standing. Any body that has given money to Kenneth sobel pls check California and Arizona courts.
Good catch on the Scottsdale charge, Miner … suspended license, suspended plates, no proof of insurance. Pretrial continued, so this story ain’t over yet. Nice.
Sorry, was no vehicle registration, not no proof of insurance, my apologies.
You wouldn’t be mixing up Sobel with his buddy Kittrell (purplemed), would you? He got gigged for false plates the day Sobel/ Halo on Freeway got busted in July.
