I hope he tried the "didn't inhale line."

Oddly enough there doesn't seem to be much of a medical mj movement here.

Clinton or Graham? Graham left in 1993. He said they knew about bin Ladin then and were tracking him but I don't think aq was all that formed yet.

Graham I support unconditionally. You're the happiest LT sock I have met, and I have to assume he has a role in that. as to AQ, wait for it..... I blame the Clintons.

On a related topic, I've had several clients come to me recently asking about getting into business with med pot growers/dispensers. It's legal here under state law but illegal under fed. We've decided from an ethical and PR standpoint not to get involved, which really sucks, but I don't think there is much of an option (from the ethical standpoint at least).

Quite so. What is the sacrifice and suffering of a single individual, or many individuals, compared with the reward of an Efficient Market (praise be upon its name) in all things forever, world without end amen.

That was the real objection to death panels--if some old person wants to spend our money extending a bed-ridden, semi-conscious existence for a few more weeks, the market says they should be allowed to.

I'll take that as a "more", since you read the first sentence. Who gets to count that one?

Law students don't usually make law review articles worse, except in the sense that they make them longer.

Early line is the 4th Cir overturns the Va district court decision 3-0, right?
