Good letter to the editor in the Utah Tribune on medical marijuana.

Loretta Nall points us to a story on a new program in Alabama where the schools will pay kids to rat on each other. As Loretta points out, there's a lot of room for abuse in that scheme between teenagers who might want to get back at someone they don't like and make a little pocket change besides.

Ricky Williams is back in the news. He says he quit football to keep his failed drug test secret, which I find a bit silly considering he has no problem admitting he is still consuming cannabis regularly.

And there's a new game in town. The hot new Christmas gift in Canada this year is a board game that lets players run their own "B.C. Bud" marijuana farm.
