Guardian article "urgent action needed on medical cannibis, peak bodies say"... I'm not up to date with all the evidence but last time I looked it was pretty sketchy for most indications, but "medical grounds" is the only legal avenue in a prohibition state...there is an alternative

Your semi-regular reminder that the full quote is "The customer is always right in matters of taste," and that it has long been cut off too short by dickhead customers who want free shit.

few ideas have damaged the average psyche more than ‘the customer is always right.’ it should be a little bit humiliating, being a customer. you should walk into any service transaction knowing that the other person, and not you, is in control over whether you get your treats
