Changes to the medical marijuana law are headed to Mississippi Gov. Reeves’ desk. Here’s what they are.

The Legislature has approved changes to Mississippi’s cannabis law that will limit the information available to the public about businesses’ citation records and will attempt to crack down on inconsistencies from the agencies tasked with running the new medical marijuana program. The bill, first filed in the House, was amended by a Senate committee and the full Senate before the House passed it…

I said earlier that I'd decided to not restart therapy. The more I thought about it, the more it was a case of me just wanting someone to talk to and, quite frankly, I'm not sure I want to go to therapy for that.

So now I'm contemplating something even more radical: occasional employment that requires me to leave the house. Bowing the inevitable, I'm looking into getting a worker's permit for medical marijuana. For as long as I've smoked, I've never developed a good head for how pot mojo works beyond sativa and indica. Even worse, one of the bigger issues of middle age that's buggering me is I don't seem to be able to learn anything anymore. Not even trivia, stuff just slips right through.

But it's something to do, and frankly, that's what it all boils down to. I can't do the news blog anymore and I'm not feeling either the guitar or the harmonica these days. Furthermore, my savings are getting tight and while I don't need money, it's getting to the point where I'm having to seriously consider things.

What if I want to buy more than weed? My iPhone's 12 years old and doesn't really keep a charge anymore, but I'd probably have to cut out books if I bought a new one, much less more pot. And while I can borrow all the money I need to get buy, I really don't want to. I want to buy some Big Finish audios. I might want to buy some games.

And I need to figure out something to do with the rest of my life once Momma's gone. I hate having to get a job but sitting around on my ass ain't getting me anywhere but sick as shit.

How US states are actually divided

by trampolinebears 

Think of a map that divides the states into two different sets: rainy states vs. dry states, ones that like cats vs. ones that like dogs, states that allow marijuana vs. states that don't. Each of these maps illustrates a single way that states can be different from each other.

But what happens if you look at multiple divisions at once?

Is the rainy/dry divide similar to the dog/cat divide? (No)

Is the landlocked/coastal divide related to the amount of forest cover? (Somewhat)

Is the Barbie/Oppenheimer divide related to whether teachers can spank students? (Yes, surprisingly)

What happens if you draw all those divisions on the map at the same time? Are there any trends that stand out?

For this map, I looked at 80 different ways of dividing the states.

The two states that were most different from each other turned out to be California and Mississippi, so they get placed on opposite ends of the spectrum.

All other states are ranked based on how often they agree with California vs. how often they agree with Mississippi.

The result is this map, showing the California-to-Mississippi-ness of all 50 states.

So what does the California-Mississippi axis actually mean? Does it correlate to anything meaningful?

I think we can use it to learn more about what actually divides America.

It turns out the CA-MS axis correlates very well to many different divisions. Some of them are what you'd expect (political party, cost of living, religious belief) but some of them might be more surprising. Taken together, I think this helps illustrate how the states are actually divided.

Chilling video shows a Mississippi teenager calmly walking through her home to gun down her mom — then sending loving texts to lure her stepdad there, and shooting him, too, according to prosecutors.

Carly Gregg, 15, is currently on trial for allegedly killing her high school teacher mom, Ashley Smylie, and then shooting her stepdad, Heath Smylie, in their Brandon, Miss., home back in March after they learned of her “secret life” with drugs.

Alarming surveillance video shown to the court on Tuesday showed the baby-faced teen awkwardly shuffling around the home — allegedly clutching a gun behind her back shortly before she opened fire.

Gregg, wearing a Nirvana band shirt, was filmed disappearing off camera into her mother’s bedroom just seconds before three shots rang out – followed by Smylie’s piercing screams, according to the clip obtained by Law & Crime.

The teen then returned to the kitchen roughly 10 seconds later, still allegedly clutching the weapon behind her back.

Prosecutors said Gregg faced the camera the whole time in a bid to hide the weapon, which was later identified as a .357 Magnum handgun.

Once she was back in view of the camera, Gregg could be seen grabbing her mom’s phone off the kitchen counter and calmly taking a seat on a stool as her two dogs stood beside her.  

Prosecutors allege Gregg then casually fired off several texts – including one to her stepdad to lure him to the home.  

“When will you be home honey?” the text sent to Heath allegedly read.

When Heath returned to the home a short time later, Gregg allegedly shot him in the shoulder before he was able to wrestle the gun away from her, the court heard.

Prosecutors said the teen had also allegedly texted a friend asking her to come over because there was an “emergency.”

“Have you ever seen a dead body? My mom is in there,” the friend claimed Gregg asked her when she arrived at the home.

Gregg allegedly carried out the shootings just hours after a friend had apparently tipped off her mom – who worked as a math teacher at her daughter’s Northwest Rankin High School — about the teen’s marijuana use. 

When the pair returned home from school that day, the mom started searching Gregg’s room and discovered a stash of vape pens, the court heard.   

“From the testimony of a friend, he was so worried about Carly’s use of smoking marijuana, so worried about her being high, and so worried about her having these burner phones, that [Carly’s] mom didn’t know about, that he felt compelled to tell Miss Ashley Smylie that day,” Rankin County Assistant District Attorney Kathryn Newman said earlier in the trial.

Psychiatrist Dr. Andrew Clark testified that the teen was facing a mental health crisis the day off the shooting.

He said the teen was having significant mood swings, hearing voices and having dissociative problems, which were made worse by her medications.

“And then, her mother finds out she’s smoking marijuana,” Clark told the court. “For Carly, in particular, she so cared about her mother’s approval, so for her, this was a crisis.”

Meanwhile, Gregg’s stepfather testified Tuesday that the teen – who he described as a “sweet little girl” — had no recollection of the shooting.

“I never seen anybody like that, even in movies, she was not herself and I do not believe she even recognized me,” Heath said, adding that he and Gregg still talk daily and their relationship is “good.”

Gregg has been charged with murder, attempted murder and tampering with evidence.

She turned down a plea deal and is pursuing an insanity defense.

The teen faces up to life in prison for the murder charge, plus 30 years to life for the other charges if convicted.

Obituary: The son who soared: Jeff Buckley

Date: June 6, 1997

From: The Guardian (London, England)

Publisher: Guardian News & Media

Document Type: Obituary

Byline: ADAM SWEETING

FEW ROCK business careers began more tantalisingly than that of Jeff Buckley, who has drowned in the Mississippi river, aged 30 (his body was found on Wednesday this week). In 1991, record producer Hal Willner, known for assembling imaginative, star-studded tributes to Charles Mingus and Kurt Weill, put together a tribute concert for Jeff's father, Tim Buckley, at St Ann's Church, Brooklyn, New York. Tim had died of a heroin overdose in 1975, aged 28, but his early death ignited a slow-burning musical legend. It was founded on his recorded legacy in which soul, blues and jazz influences mingled freely, the process stirred by his arrestingly elastic vocal style.

His son Jeff, born in California during Tim's brief marriage to Panama-born Mary Guibert, had always been ambivalent about his father. Tim left Mary when Jeff was six months old, and his son was brought up by his mother and stepfather during a peripatetic childhood. 'We moved so often I had to put all my stuff in paper bags,' Jeff recalled. 'My childhood was pretty much marijuana and rock 'n' roll.'His decision to participate in Willner's tribute event launched Buckley Junior as a new phenomenon on the New York music scene, and simultaneously affirmed his quasi-mythic credentials, particularly when he performed his father's song Once I Was. 'It bothered me that I hadn't been to his funeral, that I've never been able to tell him anything,' said Jeff. 'I used that show to pay my last respects.'

Thus launched in public, Buckley was rescued from a string of odd jobs by joining the avant-garde combo Gods & Monsters, which featured Pere Ubu's ex-bassist Tony Maimone and Captain Beefheart's erstwhile guitarist Gary Lucas. But it was more a loose group of individuals than a real band and Buckley quit in early 1992 to pursue a solo career.

He began performing at small Manhattan clubs, particularly the Cafe Sin-e, where record company executives and A&R men were soon arriving by the limo-full, waving chequebooks. 'I went into those cafes because I really felt I had to go to an impossibly intimate setting where there's no escape, where there's no hiding yourself,' he explained.

Buckley's remarkable voice (his most obvious inheritance from his father) and movie-star looks left nobody in doubt that he was a star in the making, though the eclecticism of his shows confused some listeners. Buckley would pluck songs out of the air as the mood took him. It might be something by Van Morrison, the Hollies or Big Star, or a tune made famous by Nina Simone or Mahalia Jackson.

With a hippie-esque suspicion of large corporations, he turned down several deals before signing with Columbia at the end of 1992, apparently because he knew and trusted the label's A&R man Steve Berkowitz. The company previewed their new acquisition with a live EP, Live At Sin-e, following which Buckley travelled upstate to Bearsville to start work on his debut album, Grace.

The disc was released in 1994 to instant critical adulation. The sleeve pictured Buckley clutching a microphone and looking poetically dishevelled, while the music inside was a cornucopia of rockers, ballads, hymns and even a bold rendition of Benjamin Britten's Corpus Christi Carol, by no means standard rock 'n' roll fare. His voice was wild, passionate and sensual. If his music was hard to describe in a soundbite, it was bursting with hidden depths and infinite potential. Grace won Buckley the Best New Artist award from Rolling Stone magazine in 1995.

Buckley's inquisitiveness and musical ambition earned him acceptance across a broad spectrum of fellow performers. Elvis Costello brought him over in 1995 to perform at London's Meltdown Festival, where he easily held his own among string quartets and jazz ensembles, and last year he featured on Patti Smith's comeback album, Gone Again. He was also a fan of Eastern music, particularly the Islamic devotional Qawwali songs of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.

Buckley had been in Memphis since February, recording new material. He decided to go swimming in the Mississippi, fully clothed and carrying his guitar, but was apparently pulled under by the wash from a passing tug.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit says the federal ban on marijuana users owning guns is unconstitutional. "Our history and tradition may support some limits on an intoxicated person's right to carry a weapon, but it does not justify disarming a sober citizen based exclusively on his past drug usage," a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit wrote in its decision.

"The opinion overturns the conviction of a Mississippi man, Patrick D. Daniels of Gulfport, who had two guns found in his car during a traffic stop last year and acknowledged using marijuana regularly but wasn't accused of driving under the influence," notes the A.P.

List 5 facts about a favorite sim of yours, and send this to 10 simblrs whose sims you adore ♥♥♥

oh heck yes lets goooo!!!!

five fun facts about cassie baby!!

they are from a small town in mississippi called seneca, but he grew up moving between mississippi and louisiana his entire life. as you can imagine, they have a terribly thick, slow-drawl southern accent.

he's secretly the biggest geek ever. they're embarrassed about it, but they're actually REALLY good at playing video games, especially platformers, and in their free time when he's not working or sleeping, they binge-watch anime like it's nothing. they've seen a bajillion different series, and he's caught up on ALL of them. his favorite anime is death note, and his favorite video game is spyro the dragon :').

they can't eat or sleep without smoking marijuana, and his physical dependency is to the point where they don't even feel high when they smoke anymore, they just feel a little less uncomfortable. in caspian's own words, weed is his social bandaid. makes him feel like less of an alien when they're talking to other people.

when she was alive, caspian was a huge momma's kid. they would tell their mom anything and everything; every day after school he would sit outside on their porch, telling her every single thing about his day. seeing as they were an extremely shy child who had difficulty interacting with their peers, he took great comfort in being around their mother, the only person he felt truly understood them. they still look back fondly on the memories of sitting out by the hot sun, detailing their every waking thought to his mom.

their zodiac sign is: cancer sun, capricorn moon, taurus rising, scorpio mercury, libra venus, scorpio mars 🌟

How Much Weed Quantity Should You Consume? A Visual Guide on Weed Measurements and Prices

Cannabis has its own new growing market where different consumers have different demands of either consuming a gram or an ounce of weed. Naturally, to this different quantity, the weed prices are also different. While the universal understanding of weed measurements is completely different, it becomes difficult for a beginner to buy the correct measurement weed from the dispensary.

Consumers start buying by the gram, but it is not the same for every person. Buying weed without knowing the correct way of measurement can make a big hole in your pocket. You are aware of the gram measurement, but many scratches their head when it comes to a quarter and an ounce of weed.

This will be your ultimate guide to weed measurements and prices, saving you money and making you aware of how much you need.
