No psychoactive mushrooms in California? Clearly someone wants to seem reasonable prior to running for president. We see you.

Can you say "Conflict of Interest?" This story is everywhere. JAMA didn't dig deep enough when asking about disclosures. Now the report that supports the reason for Measure 110 is utterly discredited. Credits to Jeff Eager for rooting this out.

Sign of the times. What happened?

––– 良くない –––

At one time, I served in the forces of a powerful Daimyo. As a devoted samurai, I served the realm and performed many deeds of valor.

Then one day, dark clouds rolled over the land. I was given a task I could not perform. It was a misinformed task that I felt would only bring harm and sorrow. With deep regret, I had no choice but to leave the Daimyo and my fellow samurai.

I am now a ronin, masterless, but free to roam the lands, to help and enlighten others, and to relieve suffering when I can.

I wander the Pacific Northwest, in the mountains, in the valleys, along the rivers and the coast. And I see things in the world that are excellent (sugoi) and things that are not so good (yokunai).
