Pot smoking makes a comeback among teenagers

Did it ever go away?

Body Scanners at LAX

My high school graduation trip to Cabo would have been a lot different if I had to go through one of these. This example is every kid's worst nightmare:

"An 18-year-old flying with his mother was stopped before boarding a plane in Phoenix when the scanned images suggested that something was hidden in his groin area. Although officials asked him what was in his pants, the teen didn’t tell them, according to Trevino. Finally, police were called, searched the teen and found a pipe and foil-wrapped marijuana in his underwear."

Also, why are we spending a zillion dollars to prevent dumb 18 year olds from taking a nug on the plane? The TSA is silly.

Elephant Jokes

Last night I did an open mic at The Spot. It was ok. Topics included: putting Lewis in cat costumes, my Prius, and pot laced with PCP.

Vote No on Prop 16

I trust Laura's mom and I don't trust PG&E, so I am voting No on Prop 16 on Tuesday June 8.

I ate here last night.

We had the barbeque pork sandwiches, lettuce, beets, avocado salad, pig ear, and flat iron steak.

And the bacon chocolate crunch bar. And the special donuts.

Everything was tasty but so rich, heavy, and salty. I woke up in the middle of the night feeling sick.

Best part of the night: Mike bought the latest Cannibis Culture from the newsstand on Oakwood at Fairfax.

Medical Marijuana: now more illegal than ever

I understand that as marijuana moves (back?) into the culutural mainstream, and the number of dispensaries in Los Angeles explodes, a backlash is to be expected.

But declaring that 100% of the shops are operating illegally seems severe, not to mention impractical. Are there clear rules for how to operate one of these stores legally? Is there a transition period during shich shops can get up to code without fearing prosecution?
