I first saw him in some film whose name I can't remember in the early 80s. What a remarkable life.

Considering the fact that they bypassed testing for a lot of other legal meds and focussed on four (partly) illicit drugs, I would not be in the least bit surprised.

Quite frankly, it feels like targeted harassment of medicinal cannabis users. Probably by design.

I'm your constituent. I will be working to ensure you are out of a job at the end of your term.

That will be precisely why they did it.

Since they clearly cannot lead, they must now get out of the way.

It's a bit like the Democrats are playing the role of the Washington Generals, the team that "plays" against the Harlem Globetrotters. They're just there for token opposition, not any real challenge.

The status quo is fine for rich people, irrespective of political outlook.
