        Sava, they're planning to open up marijuana operations to license most anyone in Colorado. Maybe you should be establishing residency out there, cuz you know Illinois will take forever to do the same, and will doubtless be horribly corrupt in the process.

        Live the dream.

          I would love to.

          Sadly, I don't do well when left to my own devices.

            How Magic Mushrooms Really 'Expand the Mind'

            In the study, the researchers scanned the brains of 15 people before and after they received an injection of psilocybin, the hallucinogen found in magic mushrooms. This pattern of brain activity is similar to that seen in people who are dreaming, the researchers said. "I was fascinated to see similarities between the pattern of brain activity in a psychedelic state and the pattern of brain activity during dream sleep," study researcher Robin Carhart-Harris, of Imperial College London in the United Kingdom, said in a statement. In contrast, the activity in brain areas involved in "high-level" thinking (such as self-consciousness) were less coordinated under psilocybin, the study found.

              Only 4% had tried pot? Far more had in my home town.

                    Washington state update:

                    Washington state's new recreational marijuana shops will open next week for the first time to legally sell marijuana to adults. But there's a problem: They're low on weed.

                    "Supply is going to be tight as this market launches," said Brian Smith, communications director for the state Liquor Control Board --the agency charged with regulating the nascent retail marijuana market. "This is an emerging market that doesn't exist anywhere in the world. It's a lot different than Colorado. And just like Colorado did when it first opened up, it had some shortages, but Washington's supply system is very robust and in a little bit of time all those suppliers will be feeding into the retail chain and there will be a lot."

                    The LCB will issue the first retail marijuana business licenses on Monday to about 20 outlets, Smith said. That gives the new pot shops about 24 hours to enter their cannabis inventory into the state's seed-to-sale marijuana tracking system so they can open for business on Tuesday.
