It was seen as a measure of progress when the California Police Chiefs -- long one of the major roadblocks in the way of marijuana reform in the state -- decided to introduce their own medical marijuana regulations this year, after years of opposing other efforts.
At first glance, the bill introduced by state Sen. Lou Correa (D-Santa Ana) isn't terrible: after all, the cops are allowing people to legally access cannabis, and even want to let children get their hands on the CBD-rich pot that can stop seizures. That's nice of them.
Less nice is a provision, first noticed by LA Weekly, that the cops are also proposing what appears to be an outright ban on "butane hash oil." In other words: no hash, no concentrates, and an end to dabbing, if California cops have their way.
Muni has a large impact on San Franciscans lives. The transportation agency has over 700,000 passenger boardings on an average weekday, but what does San Franciscans really think about the quality of service that they receive on board buses and trains?
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency sent an online survey to 285,000 Clipper Card holders between November and December 2013. The responses were split between users who claimed a San Francisco zip code and commuters who live outside of the city. Overall, Muni received a 3.12 average rating, with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest score.
It was a hot night in more ways than one.
