i suspect most folks in the industry are earning at the bottom end, and there are one or two rock stars who earn that top end… so unless you're making less than, say, 50k a year, you're probably not in the wrong profession.

it will be interesting to see how this one plays out
especially if it gets a lot of media attention (which I hope it does)
as Ohio is a Medical Marijuana state…with no clear rules on cultivation for patients
Problem is the mandatory minimums in that state….Judges are not allowed to use discretion

wasn't expecting this…but I bring you the
pot burger from Carls Jr
On Saturday, Carl's Jr. will debut the CBD-infused "Rocky Mountain High: CheeseBurger Delight" at a single location in Denver. The CBD burger will be available for $4.20 during the one-day test, fittingly held on April 20, a weed-filled celebration for many Americans.

As part of effort to study “a variety of pain-management issues and strategies for players,” the National Football League and the NFL Player’s Association have agreed to form two new joint medical committees, with a particular focus on marijuana as a pain management tool.
hehe…they are having two joint committees to see if Pot is good for the players
do you think the first committee will use sativa and the second indica?

how many players have been suspended for weed? and now they want to study it with the possible outcome of it being prescribed to players?
nice work, NFL.

so in this happy time of legalization/decriminalization across the country
I do think the states and feds need to revisit all those lives that were destroyed for minor possession and and expunge their records
If you were arrested in the 90s for possession…you may have only served a little time, but you are punished for life
got caught underage drinking…slap on the wrist and you can become a supreme court judge
I'm glad to see Illinois is making an effort here
Illinois posed to legalize marijuana sales, expunge criminal records for pot crimeswith sweeping legislation that would also automatically expunge the criminal records of people convicted of minor pot possession.I hope more states follow this

Hell yeah Nevada…
Was pissed off at Governor Steve Sisolak for his veto of the Nat'l Pop Vote…but he get's a thumbs up for this
Nevada: Governor Signs Measure Sealing Past Marijuana Convictions
Sisolak also signed into law a bill that makes it easier to seal a past low-level marijuana conviction by permitting a person to request a court to seal criminal records tied to any offense that is decriminalized.
Kinda missed this part when I was touting his Felon voting rights action

Illinois becomes 11th state legalize recreational marijuana
and
Legalization in Illinois also means that nearly 800,000 people with criminal records for purchasing or possessing 30 grams of marijuana or less may have those records expunged

The CDC announced Friday that THC vape products have been linked to a majority of patients with vaping-related lung injuries, citing to data from 1 local and 1 national study.
finally a little more info on this after 12 have died…but The CDC and health officials still cannot identify a definite product or source
umm that's not giving me a lot of confidence they know what is going on…
I'm in favor of major regulation on product safety. the black market is as big as it's ever been with all this legalization which we assumed was going to shrink it. and there is little to no regard to safety in the black market

It's almost certainly Vitamin E (and other oils) added to black market vaping products, purchased mostly off the street (and at least one in a cannabis shop).
2 weeks ago they identified 5 of the 6 deaths as black market, the last one an Oregon dispensary. I doubt the next 6 have changed the pattern much.

vitamin E has been found in many, but not all, of the vapes used by those affected with this condition.
cyanide via pesticides is another form of nastiness that has been detected. turning anything into an aerosol and inhaling it is a bad idea, so while a few ingredients like vitamin E or pesticides are
really bad, there is nothing that is "good"…
i have a marijuana vaping thingy (i'm in WA, everyone has one) and i wasn't a huge fan even before this lung disease thing hit the news. on the plus side it's really fast/convenient and it doesn't stink up your breath like a joint - useful in many social settings. on the downside, it doesn't taste nearly as nice as a J and the effect is different… i call it the "THC sledgehammer". it's not unlike the difference between craft beer/wine vs. doing shots of vodka - both will get you to the same destination but i know which ride i prefer. my device has been shelved since the news broke, and i doubt i'll ever pick it up again.

I still a little surprised they have not found a smoking gun now we are at 20 deaths and illness in almost every state
I don't think I've heard of any international incidents?
And I want to restate, these things have been in wide spread use for at least 4 or 5 years
I'm talking in the millions of users
So it's strange how this summer an epidemic spreads across the country like this
and pretty much banning it everywhere (while that many people die daily from guns)
US health officials are still uncertain what exactly is causing the new disease, but have urged Americans to stay away from THC and marijuana vapes
Recent research has suggest that it may be 'toxic fumes' in the e-liquid juices that sickening people, rather than a result of oils in them getting into the lungs, as previously believed.
'I wish we had more answers about the specific products causing these illnesses,' said Dr Schuchat.
Personally, never really vape
joints or sick edibles
