Modesto banned dispensaries from the city so now there’s like half a dozen ringing the city limits, the one I use to go to was half a block down from the city limit sign

It's the same with all the beach cities in the south bay, no stores in Hermosa, Manhattan, Redondo, or Torrance but the two blocks in between Western and the 110 on the border of Torrance and Carson has about a dozen of them.

They legally have to keep it going until 2019 but without funds it will be a shell of it's former self.


The wife is self employed and I don't get benefits (well, healthcare is offered, but not contributed to, so I can't get subsidies), needless to say we were paying 1000 dollars a month for healthcare for 4 of us. That was unsustainable and we moved the kids to CHIP a couple years ago.
I guess it's back to 1000 dollars a month, actually probably going to be higher now that the mandate has be killed. Cool.
We had the kids on a platinum plan because the are pre mature twins, so they get sick often. I guess we may have to drop them to a silver or bronze if they get kicked off.

They are generally ingested, but may have topical applications.

I mean you can drink tincture (and I have) but I wouldn't recommend it. Besides the taste, the dosing is a nightmare and it's not a particularly fun high. The dispensary I (briefly) worked for marketed them as a topical anesthetic.

I use it to help with my father's cancer, dosing isn't too much of an issue, you can't OD with CBD. It's also not about getting a "fun high". It helps with the pain and let's him eat.

Yeah, I could see them being good for that. CBD is a really good pain medicine and not really the same as "getting high" at all. Too much CBD mostly just makes people really groggy/sleepy which seems like a pretty fair trade off for not being in constant pain and a hell of a lot safer than opioids.

Weird. It would be easier to make an oil or ointment than a food grade tincture if that was the main use.

Tinctures are not really intended to be recreational. I take a tincture for medicinal purposes but when I wanna get high I smoke.

Yeah, no doubt he wants vouchers, one of the reasons he states for cutting taxes is "so families can have more money to send their kids to school."

Governor Baywatch looks like he spent a considerable part of his 30s and 40s lying to women about working in law enforcement. He definitely owns a stake in a vineyard, or at least tells people that about the box of Coppola wine that lives on his dining room floor.
God what a lovely Southern-California stereotype, meh traffic, meh paying taxes, he looks like Gray Davis on HGH.

quote:

Travis owned a small business helping people as a financial planner. He holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Cal State Long Beach, and has also studied at Cal State Los Angeles. Travis is a long time resident of Huntington Beach, where he has lived and surfed for almost 20 years.
It should end like Fast Times and talk about how he'll spend the tax windfall money hiring Van Halen for a party.:barf:

Been seeing a big billboard on the 80 east on the way to the bay bridge for some dispensary saying open to the public on 1/1. So somewhere they have their poo poo worked out. Part of me kinda wants to find the place and park across the street and just watch to see what happens.

E: I just realized that I never looked at the name or anything and have no idea where the place is. I guess I'll just watch the news to see what happens.

A couple of the items on that list were specifically targeted at low-income housing, which I thought was cool. CA should definitely look into doing more on the rent control and housing front, though. If they did, it'd be a no-brainer to live there.

I believe homes which are primarily heated through woodburning are excluded from no burn restrictions.
