The Morning Rant: Minimalist Edition
Many cannabis growers, retailers and manufacturers have struggled to make the transition from a provisional, temporary license to a permanent one renewed on an annual basis — a process that requires a costly, complicated and time-consuming review of the negative environmental effects involved in a business and a plan for reducing those harms. As a result, about 82% of the state’s cannabis licensees still held provisional licenses as of April, according to the governor’s office. The funds, including $22 million earmarked for L.A., would help cities hire experts and staff to assist businesses in completing the environmental studies and transitioning the licenses to "help legitimate businesses succeed," Ting said. The grant program is endorsed by Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, who said in a letter to legislators that the money is “essential in supporting a well-regulated, equitable, and sustainable cannabis market."
So the state is gong to choose some businesses and provide assistance navigating the insanity that is the regulatory state in California. Instead of simply streamlining the regulations, or even better just getting rid of them, they are going to spend taxpayer money on their pet businesses! It is a wonderful glimpse into the chaotic and mushy thinking of the 21st century bureaucrat. "We made this situation as bad as it is, so we are going to spend your money to make it slightly less bad but possibly even worse." I was in California recently, and let me assure you, its problems have nothing to do with marijuana storefronts. Bums, filth, obscene regulatory schemes, ridiculous taxes, an out-of-control legislature and an even worse administration. But maybe marijuana is the salvation of California. Everybody can get stoned and maybe they won't notice the decay of what once was the greatest economic engine in the country.

>>>Like I say, look at the excess mortality, all causes. The spike is impressive. For sure, some of it is due to the social reaction, but not the majority, especially in the early days.
Do we even know the excess mortality? I get that there was very clear short-term excess mortality from Covid in the first half of 2020. Do we know how much the net was for the year?
I'd like to see a running graph of deaths in the preceeding 12 months. A series of them--all deaths, then non-accidental/injury deaths, etc.

You're missing the point. If the regulatory burden was light on everyone, then how would politicians build up their dependent client base?

Streamlining and/or eliminating cumbersom regulations offers none of the above.

The state government legalized a product with a guaranteed demand, and then taxed and regulated it to the point that people still prefer to get it on the black market like they always did.

It's the perfect example of the command economy.
These idiots can't take a simple agrarian product for which there is a known, steady demand, and manage it. No one could, of course. But if you can't predict the price of pot and the impact of your tax on that demand and how much you'll sell--maybe managing the economy isn't your thing.

As a result, about 82% of the state's cannabis licensees still held provisional licenses as of April, according to the governor's office.
++++
So this right here is hilarious. From the "California Cannabis Portal" (an official CA state website):
More than 10,000 cannabis operators, from Shasta Lake to the City of San Diego, hold state licenses in the largest cannabis market in the country.
So let's assume "more than" means the number rounds up to 11,000. 82% of that figure is 9,020, so let's call it 9,100 provisional licensees. The state is spending around $11k *each* to help them navigate the bureaucracy.
The last reported full-year cannabis tax revenue was $522 million, while most licensees are provisional. And to fix that problem, they're spending around 20% of the total take to help them navigate the system.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you "systemic insanity."

I quit growing when it got legalized here - just not worth the effort for the return when the tax man gets involved. It's harder work than people think, and you have to have a pretty damned big operation to work in those margins profitably.
Now, here in CO, we had quite a few such operations already running, because many rural counties had a "see no evil" approach to it for *decades* before legalization. For instance, in the (blood-red) area I grew up, it was our second biggest industry behind construction, and sometimes number one. Our Sheriff's department was very open about the fact that they were not prosecuting pot growers.
IOW, large, legal grow-ops were able to (mostly) meet the demand here. I expect that CA has much less of the marijuana agricultural know-how and infrastructure (we invented a lot of it here), serving a much larger market.

Leaning out the passenger side door he noticed another gentleman trying to steal his catalytic converter. Taking prompt action, the man in the truck shot and wounded the thief. What happened next is that the vicitm tied the would be thief to the hitch on his truck and drove around the parking lot before cutting the alleged miscreant loose and shooting him again.
This happened in Snohomish County, north of Seattle. The shooter has been charged with 2nd degree murder.

The failure was inevitable. States like California and Oklahoma thought "Ooh what a great revenue stream, we can grab a big chunk of it!" But even when it was a criminal offense, there was plenty of supply and plenty of sellers. What they have done is to take away all of the criminal penalties, and replaced them with technical tax law violations and testing requirements. Did they think that the previous sellers and suppliers were just going to go away? Did they think that the people who weren't scared at all by criminal penalties were going to be cowed by some technical paperwork requirements? Just as with alcohol, legal suppliers needed to be able to compete with off the books suppliers on quality and price. If the State takes away those 2 avenues, then the legal suppliers have no chance of capturing the market.

I do think MS/HS athletes use performance enhancers MORE than the pros and college ones, because at that point they're being tested for substances.
but what we DON'T know is how use of things like adderall and other PEDs during youth affects your health in adulthood. my feeling is, it has quite an effect!
I think it was MLB that did a deep dive into this, and found a crazy high percentage of baseball pros had "ADHD" and required adderall for it. that's just one
I have personally experienced pressure for my daughter to take: adderall for performance ("just talk to Dr So-andSo"), asthma inhalers for performance, low-dose BPs to remove periods (which harm performance) and coach-recommended "supplements" for "energy."
who the heck knows what all this does to athletes down the road

This is another example of the failure of federalism and the so-called "American Experiment." When federalized under the auspices of the CIA, government-sponsored drug dealing was wildly effective.
Expertise counts, and experts should be concentrated where they can do the most good. They should be concentrated in the Federal Government, which should morph into an actual top-level governing body in this country. If they can draw expertise from the whole country and across all divisions, their plans can be implemented more effectively, more cheaply and with greater success.

this is a topic I was talking about with friends recently. All of us who are a bit older remember when it was very rare to hear of anyone who had seizures - I know one kids dad who had epilepsy, but other than that you never saw it. Now I have two nephews who have had to take some drugs for unexplained seizures, and in today's under 40 crowd, it's almost common, even though nobody talks about it much. Why has what was once rare become so common, and in younger, not older people?

The Army retained the 175mm and 8 in (203mm) up into the early 90's. Then they dropped the 175s and 8in (some may yet be in the reserves/NG...not sure) in order to go with a common caliber. Weight was an issue. For every 8 in round, you could carry two 155s.
Interestingly, only 1 8inch battalion made it into Desert Storm and they were from the Arkansas/Tenn NG. Great guys and I have a ton of stories about them We made them General Support to the 1st Brit Armored Division and the Brits loved them.
