Plain Dealer Posts "Da Bomb" NEO Story of 2011: "Pot Sauce Williams, aiming to be the Heinz of medical marijuana BBQ sauces"Submitted by Norm Roulet on Fri, 02/04/2011 - 22:16.
I'm excited to see the Plain Dealer picked up the story of development of an MMJ BBQ Sauce by Greg Williams, of Cleveland's Hot Sauce Williams, and OrganaLabs, of Colorado. As was posted to Cleveland.com, today - Pot Sauce Williams, aiming to be the Heinz of medical marijuana BBQ sauces - great coverage by Evelyn Theiss and Diane Suchetka, who interviewed me for their story - some highlights: "We hope to make it the Heinz of medical marijuana sauces," said Norm Roulet, a Cleveland business consultant who got the idea off the ground - Heidi Morgan, co-owner with her husband, Ralph, of OrganaLabs in Denver, confirmed that the company developed and tested a recipe for Pot Sauce Williams - "There is a huge market for this," she said. "People are sick and tired of brownies - Especially, she said, people who have illnesses like MS, HIV, or other autoimmune disorders -- "They'll say, 'I don't want 100 milligrams of sugar when I eat this'"- So what's Pot Sauce Williams like? - Kohn, who has a referral for medical marijuana, loves it - "It packed just about the right size wallop you wanted," he said. "It made you merry. It gave you positive body sensations, good tingles, it was as good or better as any edible product I've tried - and I've tried a lot. It's da bomb" - "Their model is to have a number of sauces out, and they are looking at even doing some of their bakery products," Roulet said. "They have a sweet potato pie and a pecan pie - "One of the things they are looking at is creating some products to appeal to the urban marketplace" - "They are being innovative."

Hot Sauce Williams leads the way locally...
...but is Cleveland government ready to "go out of business by changing the laws regarding the criminalization" of Marijuana?
Ultimately, I doubt that the countless police, sheriffs, jails, lawyers, judges, drug testing centers, and rehab organizations would appreciate such a new industry "putting them out of business! While the ideas are extraordinary; and it does support the "URBAN FARMING FUTURE OF CLEVELAND" (after all the demos).... But I wonder how those legislators will deal with such an extraordinary change in our local region... Tax it, Tax it, Tax it!
Keep up your excellent efforts!
I miss Hot Sauce Williams visits over the years... used to be 'hot spot' stop for me & my baby's daddy many moons ago! Glad to see that they have endured the City of Cleveland challenges to rise to such a level of challenging the "norms" in Cleveland! Congrats on the POT SAUCE WILLIAMS brand and accomplishments to date! Best Wishes! Look forward to hearing tons more on this business in the future in a positive light!
Always Appreciative, "ANGELnWard14"

typical Cleveland-shoots-itself-in-the-face fashion, Fox 8 News
In typical Cleveland-shoots-itself-in-the-face fashion, Fox 8 News apparently followed the correct story in the Cleveland Plain Dealer with an attempted "expose" story of some misinformation within the Williams family about the development of this product (as mentioned in the PD article) - I got calls Sunday that Fox 8 ran a segment on their 10 PM news attempting to discredit this worthy initiative. I've since talked with a reporter and editor there and they are dropping the wrong line of investigation, and opening their minds to the future of Northeast Ohio's economy, which includes a vibrant cannabis economy.
To explain the significance of the cannabis economy to the editor of Fox 8 news (who seems to associate cannabis with "stoners"), I suggested she google "Hemp" and "Sherwin Williams" together, and I suggest you do the same. Sherwin Williams protested the outlawing of hemp in the 1930s, when they had hemp plantations in Texas to produce hemp oil for their paint. I'm sure they are still supportive of producing hemp oil in America, to produce healthier, more environmentally friendly paints.
To consider the significance of all this on our economy, Google "Pot Sauce Williams" and see that the simple, correct story in the PD about Greg Willaims being innovative in Cleveland has been picked up world-wide, by all sorts of important news and information services. When I talked to our chemist in Denver today, he said the PD story had generated lots of positive calls for them, and increased their search results in just one day.
THE FIRST RECOGNITION EVER OF CLEVELAND BECOMING A LEADER IN THIS NEW ECONOMY!
Congratulations Greg Williams.

Does it work? Does it taste good? Kohn's verdict on the test batches so far: "It packed just about the right size wallop you wanted. It made you merry. It gave you positive body sensations, good tingles, it was as good or better as any edible product I've tried - and I've tried a lot. It's da bomb."
There ya go, "da bomb."
