California mulls cannabis tax

A member of California's state assembly is introducing legislation to do just that: make California the first state to tax and regulate recreational marijuana.

Only problem is 9/10 times they are from the U.K :lol: The American approach when, for example the waitress can't understand you, is to just to repeat and yell louder in English. Works great in Franc...

Jacqui Smith- how annoying is she? She just gets on my norks. I've recently moved to the Midlands temporarily with work, and am not far from her constituency (bit annoyed about that actually, as I don't know any local tradesman!

I bought myself a Christmas present of a Lenovo ( IBM ) S10 IdeaPad netbook. I went with the smaller 80 gig HD, it is all I need for installed programs. I did make up the difference with a 500 gig USB powered HD for data. It has been a sweet little machine. At 2.5 pounds my old bones don't mind car...

Maybe its more to do with tone of voice, like with dogs? you know, you can slag off a dog and tell them how stupid they are etc etc, but if your tone of voice is the sam...
