"Until recently, raids on clinics typically led to federal prosecutions, but Cooley's remarks and similar ones from Attorney General Jerry Brown signal a new approach "
So you are saying that local police were making busts too? Do we have evidence of that? The post talks about "Heavily armed officers in helmets, bulletproof vests and, oddly enough, Bermuda shorts..." but doesn't say if this is LAPD. #weed

Sandeep Abraham clarifies:
"...the LAPD, with support from the federal Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has undertaken multiple raids on legal marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles County.
These raids reached their zenith and sparked public outrage when, in late August, a task force of LAPD, DEA, and FBI agents raided two marijuana dispensaries in Los Angeles and Culver City as well as the owners’ houses. "

Number of Starbucks within walking distance of my apartment: 0. Though I think one of the "green-cross" businessesses near my apartment sells venti-size bags, so I smell a cross-marketing opportunity. #weed

I guess it *is* about you and how you feel in terms of the possiblility of changing someone. One can only help so much. At least this is my experience.

DJs never really strike me as someone with a talent worth making money over. Sorry if that offends anyone, but that's just my own personal feeling.
It's sad that he died of a drug overdose though, regardless of who he is.

A pair of Technic 1200s + a box of records no one else has + the ability to actually mix records (which is harder than it sounds) + impeccable taste and a sense of how to keep a party moving = DJ
It's not as easy as people think.

"What you need son isn't to go to Ikea and get the small plates and glasses like the Europeans use and run around on the treadmill every once in a while, what you need is for me to do is divide your stomach into a small upper pouch and a much larger, lower 'remnant' pouch and then re-arrange the small intestine to allow both pouches to stay connected to it ... yep, that's what you need alright."
