Here's a fascinating hypothetical situation. Say I've gotten off a 15-hour flight to Los Angeles, and am suffering terribly, just terribly, from jet lag and insomnia. As a non-citizen, would I be able to locate a caring physician able to recommend a soothing balm for my restless ills?

no, you need to be a legal resident of CA

the late great, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 17:44 (thirteen years ago)

That sounds inconvenient.

pink, fleshy, and gleeful (sic), Wednesday, 12 June 2013 17:51 (thirteen years ago)

Soon, you can look forward to being seriously jet-lagged and sleepless in Seattle.

Aimless, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 18:05 (thirteen years ago)

maybe you can locate a caring ilxor

the late great, Wednesday, 12 June 2013 18:18 (thirteen years ago)

Would that such a Samaritan might exist.

sorry didn't see the link. but yeah i was flipping through and saw him on anderson cooper and he laid out his new positions. i don't know if this is a big deal or not in turns of changing public opinion.

Interesting rumor, don't know how much truth there is to it:

i heard that camel has factories of pot just waiting to be sold, they already know exactly how to make camel joints and have the prototypes and marketing and everything. i heard that marlboro, on the other hand, is lobbying hard against it

Some of this might hinge on the Nixon Effect, where a politician with a proved record of reactionary conservatism can get away with talk of legalization, while a politician constantly attacked as super-liberal fears giving more ammunition to her opponents.

Aimless, Friday, 6 September 2013 17:34 (twelve years ago)

otoh, Feinstein can just fuck right off for supporting endless idiotic prohibition.

Aimless, Friday, 6 September 2013 17:36 (twelve years ago)

when has Feinstein ever been "super liberal"

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 6 September 2013 17:38 (twelve years ago)

I mean okay gun control (wildly successful there, FiDi) but that's kind of it. abortion too I guess.

what's up ugly girls? (Shakey Mo Collier), Friday, 6 September 2013 17:38 (twelve years ago)

I never said she was super liberal, but only "constantly attacked as super-liberal".

Not cannabis specifically, but a good report on the general lunacy of US mandatory first-time-drug-offender laws and their enormous cost to society and to taxpayers:
