Has anyone had any success buying marijuana related stock? Seems like there is some money to be made there.

I have a serious aversion to penny stocks so I'm glad I didn't get caught in the hype over those stocks.
I did however invest in the pharmy company that makes the marijuana based medicine they give to kids for seizures. It trades on the Nasdaq, GW pharmaceuticals. Got in at around 60 and sold most when it hit 100. Kept the rest as it seemed a decent long term company.
Research paid off on this one.

Interesting to hear Representative Blumenauer on Jammin' 107.5 encouraging 18 - 21 year-olds to vote yes on Measure 91.
While I'm impressed he'd go to those lengths, if they'd read it they'd know that their age group wouldn't see any legal/criminal differences from the way things are now.
But hey, you don't have to vote solely based on self-interest, right? And by the time retail is in stores (no licenses issued until 2016), they'll probably be of age, anyway.

This doesn't necessarily belong here but sentencing reform in CA is pretty fucking cool too.

Congressional oversight will kill the DC rule.
It's rarely been done but I'm pretty sure the small government republitards will squash this quickly.

Wait so that stuff was illegal?

I can't wait to see Republicans explain themselves there.
