Medical Marijuana Laws Are Moving Pot Into Mainstream

Don't tell me this is not related to Vineland:

LOS ANGELES -- With little notice and even less controversy, marijuana  
is now available as a medical treatment in California to almost anyone  
who tells a willing physician he would feel better if he smoked.

Pot is now retailed over the counter in hundreds of storefronts across  
Los Angeles and is credited with reviving a section of downtown  
Oakland, where an entrepreneur sells out classes offering "quality  
training for the cannabis industry." The tabloid LA Journal of  
Education for Medical Marijuana is fat with ads for Magic Purple,  
Strawberry Cough and other offerings in more than 400 "dispensaries"  
operating in the city. . .
