Thoughts from Kansas

You will notice that it lacks definiteness; that it lacks purpose; that it lacks coherence; that it lacks a subject to talk about; that it is loose and wabbly; that it wanders around; that it loses itself early and does not find itself any more. --Mark Twain

    Headlines you don't see elsewhere

    Category: Policy and Politics
    Posted on: July 11, 2008 1:39 PM, by Josh Rosenau

    One of the joys of Bay Area living is the unusual headlines in the paper. To whit: Alameda County pot clinics can now sell hashish:

    The main changes to the ordinance, however, involve proposals that came during the ordinance's two-year review.

    The one change will allow licensed dispensaries in unincorporated Alameda County to carry hashish, more commonly called hash, a more concentrated and potent form of cannabis. No dispensary, however, can carry more than 1.5 pounds of the product at a given time. Some medical marijuana users prefer hashish due to its potency and variety of ways it may be used.

    The other main change outlaws those dispensaries from carrying any food made with marijuana. That proposal, from the county's department of environmental health, was due to the county's concern about knowing the origins of ingredients in the food.

    It is not believed any of the dispensaries sell marijuana-laced food.

    These concerns don't tend to pop up elsewhere in the country.
