"After six months of regulated medical marijuana sales in Michigan, the market remains overwhelmingly dominated by an illegal source of product.
Seven percent of the flower sold by licensed provisioning centers in the last six months has been grown by licensed businesses, according to data from the state’s tracking system obtained by MLive. The rest -- 25,106 pounds worth -- has been grown by caregivers.
...“The idea that they’re supplementing it -- that’s not what’s happening,” said Jason Pasko, chief operating officer of High Life Farms in Chesaning.
“They’re dominating the marketplace.”...

Professor Accused Of "Hostile Learning Environment" For Assigning Male Authors | Zero Hedge
"A 22-year old female University of Utah student reported her business professor to campus administrators for, among other things, assigning too many historical texts written by influential male economists of the past.

“I understand the importance of studying the work of those before us and the importance of context,” wrote the student in a complaint to the university’s bias reporting system, where she labeled the professor’s transgressions “derogatory,” “degrading,” and “intimidating,” thereby causing a “hostile learning environment.”
The report also accused the professor of frequent sexist language, but the bulk of the complaint centered on his assigned readings for the business course. (she can't even write one cogent sentence!
“I believe it to no longer be necessary when teaching the foundations of our country’s economic system and those who helped build [its] ideals to be presented in conjunction with their sexist beliefs that have already planted their roots within our global and local communities,” the student stated in her complaint, filed in December 2018 and recently obtained by The College Fix through a public records act request.
...The report does not cite the scholars assigned in the business course, although typical economists discussed in such a class might include Adam Smith, Milton Friedman and Friedrich Hayek.
The student continued: Many of these figures are of great importance. But at what cost do we continue to plant the seed of sexism in the minds of individuals? But especially in a course and college that is already deemed to be a ‘boys club’continuing those teachings, and those teachings being delivered by a professor of [his] character is dangerous.”
“As a top university in the nation, I believe we have a duty to lead by example. Pave a new path and right the wrongs of those before us..."

Seattle Doesn’t Want You To Have A Big House – Reason.com:
See the source image"In good news for people suffering from Seattle's high housing costs, the city is considering a plan to expand the number of backyard cottages, basement apartments, and "accessory dwelling units" allowed in some residential neighborhoods.
Yet at the same time, Seattle City Council members are considering a ban on building big homes.
...O'Brien first started this push in 2016, as a means to try and combat homelessness in Seattle.
His proposal would increase the maximum size limit for backyard and basement units to 1000 square feet, as well as increase the maximum number of occupants allowed from 8 to 12. 
It also would eliminate existing requirements that the owner reside in the building and that there be at least one street parking space available per unit..."

Trump Reacts To Mueller’s Statement On Russia Investigation | The Daily Caller:

Image result for flickr commons images robert muellerPresident Donald Trump declared the investigation into Russian conspiracy and obstruction of justice “case … closed” on Wednesday after special counsel Robert Mueller delivered a statement about the conclusion of the probe.
Mueller stated in a Department of Justice (DOJ) press conference on Wednesday that his office did not find evidence of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia, but reiterated that they did not reach a conclusion on obstruction of justice. Mueller appeared to leave that decision up to Congress, noting a longstanding DOJ regulation that prohibits charging a sitting president with a crime.

Why obstruction and cover-up charges smack of desperation | TheHill

Why obstruction and cover-up charges smack of desperation | TheHill:

Image result for flickr commons images president trumpIn the end, Trump wasn’t the liar on this major point; instead, his critics were the ones who were sorely mistaken. They accused the president of the worst sort of treachery but, according to Mueller, Trump was telling the truth all along when he said there was no collusion with Russia.
I’m no political expert but, to me as an Average Joe, the continued focus on supposed obstruction of a crime that wasn’t committed simply smacks of desperation.

Planned Parenthood’s false stat: ‘Thousands’ of women died every year before Roe

See the source imagePlanned Parenthood’s false stat: ‘Thousands’ of women died every year before Roe
“We face a real situation where Roe could be overturned. And we know what will happen, which is that women will die. 
Thousands of women died every year pre-Roe.”
— Leana Wen, president of Planned Parenthood, in an interview with WFAA of Dallas, March 6, 2019.
,,,A reader asked us to investigate this repeated claim by the president of Planned Parenthood — that “thousands of women” died every year from botched abortions before the Supreme Court in 1973 nullified antiabortion laws across the United States in Roe v. Wade.
This turned out to be an interesting inquiry...
By 1959, a leading researcher wrote: “Abortion is no longer a dangerous procedure. This applies not just to therapeutic abortions as performed in hospitals but also to so-called illegal abortions as done by physicians. In 1957, there were only 260 deaths in the whole country attributed to abortions of any kind. In New York City in 1921, there were 144 abortion deaths, in 1951 there were only 15.”
...“In the 1960s, the officially recorded number of deaths from illegal induced abortion was under 300 per year. 
While there were undoubtedly other unreported abortion deaths, it is unlikely that the actual number was over 1,000..."

"SALEM, Ore. (AP) — Oregon is awash in pot, glutted with so much legal weed that if growing were to stop today, it could take more than six years by one estimate to smoke or eat it all.
Now, the state is looking to curb production.
Five years after voters legalized recreational marijuana, lawmakers are moving to give the Oregon Liquor Control Commission more leeway to deny new pot-growing licenses based on supply and demand.
The bill, which passed the Senate and is now before the House, is aimed not just at reducing the huge surplus but at preventing diversion of unsold legal marijuana into the black market and forestalling a crackdown by federal prosecutors..."
