If they try to tax weed like the do cigarettes the legal market is a nonstarter.

What’s the situation in Massachusetts? If it goes well there I think NY would be more likely to follow but given the nanny state liberals they have in the state house they will probably find a way to fuck it up.

I have no idea why it seems like every state that does this has to reinvent the wheel but I think it will come around. When Washington started it was months of sub-par weed for more than $20 a gram and the stores would run out all the time. Oregon was a little bit better but sort of the same. Now things have…

I like her but she didn’t know how to make her show political and still entertaining. I admired her for bringing on guests like Barbara Boxer and Gloria Steinem because it would be rad if network tv hosts ever had guests like that for a candid feminist discussion, but she wasn’t smart enough about politics to make it…

Before I actually watched RHONY I had a distaste for Bethenny Frankel based on tabloids and whatnot but now I don’t dislike her although she is intense as hell. She sold that stupid skinnygirl brand for over 100 million and that makes her a fucking genius. I also thought the picture of her in her daughter’s clothes…

They must only sell all this crap celebrity weed at dispensaries in California because they don’t have them here in Oregon (although everything sold here is supposed to be grown here). I don’t really see any of them taking off because besides it being a vanity project it’s just a fucking plant and it doesn’t really…

I really don’t know. I know the trend is away from mandatory minimum laws like that but marijuana’s was something you could basically get a ticket for as opposed to criminalized all over the west coast since at least the 90s. The idea of anyone being incarcerated for marijuana is frankly infuriatingly stupid and I’m…

It’s because the anti-pot crowd is completely incapable of making a reasonable argument for their position without lying. It’s a lot like the anti-choice movement in that way. Pot = precursor for schizophrenia is like the new fetal pain.

Actually it’s intended to clean people’s record to eliminate barriers to employment and housing. I doubt there are any people in Washington state prisons for marijuana offenses only.

I’m surprised it has taken them this long to do so because initiating that process was one of the very first parts of our legalization law to go into effect here in Oregon.

I can hardly think of a more depressing thought than watching your child suffer with cognitive and behavioral problems and having to wonder how much of that is because you were drinking. I am sure this will be unpopular with a lot of people but I think terminating an abortion in such circumstances should be gratis.…

The city of Boston really, really needs to hear this. I don’t know what it is but everyone seems to think if they don’t have the tv’s a significant portion of people will go to another bar that does because basically every single bar has them. Thank god I moved, that whole city is really nothing but a sports bar and a…

Comedy can touch a lot of subjects that may not be “politically correct” but certain jokes and humor around sensitive topics don’t go over when they are coming from straight old white dudes. None of these guys are funny and that’s what they are so pissed off about.

Beyond an immigration attorney I wonder if they need a constitutional lawyer.

Just want to point out that the building in the photo is around the corner from me in NW Portland.

Third wave is supposed to be more intersectional and not just about privileged white ladies being allowed to “have it all.”

As an Oregonian I am wondering what happens to the wells if they open the Oregon coast to offshore drilling when the huge, inevitable Cascade subduction zone earthquake happens.

This disgusting creep has had it coming for a very long time. I think it would be a powerful message for him to go to prison and hope it really happens. It should also be a reckoning for people who’ve worked with him anyway because there has never been any doubt about what he is.

That’s a nice idea but it would just invite people who are judgment proof to continue committing offences because you can’t squeeze blood from a rock. The reason employers are liable for the conduct of their employees is to make sure someone is able to compensate victims and to give employers an incentive to make sure…
