Austin Jenkins from NPR interviewed me for a story broadcast on KPLU about the new medical marijuana “60 day supply” limits set by the Washington State Department of Health as per the Legislature’s direction to do so. Unfortunately, the DOH erred on the conservative side, and patients will likely suffer and continue to be arrested. The fifteen plant limit is too low for anyone but the best pot grower (certainly it strains the seriously ill patients who much grown their own medicine, or risk being taken advantage of by unscrupulous street dealers), and the twenty-four ounce dried pot limit is too low for those who ingest their medicine orally, rather than more traditional means, such as Vaporization or smoking.

Fortunately for me, Austin (being the good producer that he is) used the good quote I gave him, and none of the dorky stuff. Check out the Cannabis Defense Coalition for more information about helping patients who have been arrested and are facing trial!

Just a cool picture of the Cosmobile on Deschutes Parkway (about halfway between my Condo and the Governor’s Mansion (as the crow flies), taken at long exposure (8 Seconds, 9MM Focal Length, and with the Aperture at 2.2.  Thought I’d share.

At the Target store this morning, I noticed an entire section of nostalic reproduction rock concert T-Shirts.

I thought this was weird, and made a quick post to BrightKite which joked “reproduction concert shirts, why buy inside when you wait thirty-seven years, and get it cheaper !”

There were shirts from AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, the Who, and Led Zeppelin. Party, Rock N Roll!

Here’s a picture of my new haircut, courtesy of the hard work of my oh-so fabulous stylist, Eric Pollard of Olympia’s Jamie Lee and Company.
