Win-win for the corrupt state politicians. Either they get to say The People voted down legal weed, or their rich buddies corner a lucrative market.

Yeah, around the country states have been figuring out just how to legalize weed, with some rich fucks absolutely steering some of the amendment/legal language to make sure there's a Big Weed and they're in charge of the conglomerate. Even in the looser areas, there's going to be a lot of consolidation in the near future. The market basically did a "good" capitalism and the weed got so cheap that it's putting some dispensaries out of business. On the other hand, that's partly because rich fucks are throwing in bajillions at a loss (like sports gambling companies) so that they'll be the only one left standing and do a "bad capitalism" to jack up the prices.

Here's a less-funny-but-still-good breakdown of the baseball fight, with a focus on what actually happened post-punch.

There was a lot of good stuff I didn't know about post punch. Tim Anderson was basically tackled and held up by teammates twice to keep him out, random players got lightly hurt, and Ramirez was on 2nd base at the end like he wasn't going to get kicked out. Also, Anderson got suspended for 6 games and Ramirez only got 3.

Speaking of Japan and weed, a college (American) football team has recently had a scandal where the school found 200mg of "stimulants" and... 20mg of weed... in a player's room. The news hasn't made clear what the stimulants are (they're just saying 覚醒剤 in Japanese), but it could be anything from meth to cocaine to adderall, which is straight up illegal in Japan. The school didn't immediately contact the police, who only got involved two weeks after the school found the drugs, and the story has blown up in Japanese media. Pretty much every news program covered it in some way, up until the anniversaries of the bombings and a recent typhoon pushed it out of the news cycle.

The stimulant was probably adderall, 200 mg is like 10-20 pills so not even a full month.

Yeah Japan does not care if Adderall is prescribed, and yet the bastards had the nerve to look at me weird when I didn't have my meds and had impulse control issues.
