By Marty, on August 30th, 2017 I’ve mentioned that Nevada managed to get cannabis and alcohol entangled, and the fight continues.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal explains the issues here:
Alcohol distributors have appealed to the Nevada Supreme Court to overturn a judge’s decision to not uphold an injunction that would have stopped the Tax Department from giving licenses to entities other […]
By Marty, on August 26th, 2017 The ferry boat that got entangled is out for a few weeks, leaving just one on the PT/Whidbey route. This messes up a lot of recreational travel plans as the state doesn’t have any spare ferries in the summer. That will take a bite out of the tourism money around here.
The other a day […]
By Marty, on August 25th, 2017 Jeff Sessions sent letters to the governors of Washington, Colorado, Oregon, and Alaska (the four legal marijuana states) critiquing their states’ marijuana laws and programs. The intent of the letters was to plant a stake in the ground concerning the DOJ’s position on the matter.
You can find the letters from Sessions, and the responses […]
By Marty, on August 12th, 2017 I just saw the trees move. For about two weeks we’ve been in smoke from wildfires up north, but the breeze is forecast to come up today. Personally, I’ve had trouble with burning eyes.
I went into the hospital for the installation of a few stents in my iliac arteries, the ones that feed the […]

The DEA arrests everyone at a raid site, including women and children. The […]
By Marty, on August 6th, 2017 Most guesses are that California produces five to ten times the amount it consumes. That surplus is exported to the illegal states where the price is much higher. It’s always been illegal at the federal level to pass pot across state lines, in January it will be illegal at the state level to export it […]
By Marty, on August 5th, 2017 This is the preferred time of year for that time-honored cultural tradition in the Emerald Triangle in Northern California: The Pot Raids. Since legal growing begins in January in the state, the Counties have issued permits to many growers, and are processing more. The Sheriff will honor these permits, as well as incomplete paperwork still […]
