Once again, an activity which is legal under California law is ruled illegal under federal law. Even when the “perpetrator” is a California resident.
The L.A. Times, in a somewhat melodramatic tone, writes “Dying woman loses medical marijuana appeal“.
It’s decisions like these which remind me: the original settlers of the 13 colonies were a peachy bunch who were so conservative and rigid that they were basically driven out of England as being intolerable prigs.

The L.A. Times has an op-ed piece offering a cost/benefit analysis of global warming. It’s pro-warming, surprisingly. I cannot say that I agree with everything being said, but I always enjoy alternate viewpoints (to those I hear all the time) which get the gears turning between my ears.

I like this L.A. Times article about Amboy, California. Mostly for the photo gallery that accompanies it.
This is a side of California that I love, the sparse, beaten, abandoned, desert side of it. The part which seems like it belongs in Nevada.
