I wish WI would lighten up and enjoy life--but with Republicans and Walker in charge --that is only a pipe dream

How much pot can lawmakers receive as a gift? Oregon Democrat has some advice

SALEM — Hours before marijuana's date with legal destiny Wednesday, one of the lawmakers who helped shape Oregon's looming recreational market offered some friendly advice to colleagues who often find themselves offered gifts from enthusiastic or grateful constituents.

Learn how much a sack of good pot costs — so you don't run afoul of state ethics rules.

"In case someone offers u a gift of cannabis tomorrow, here are the rules," Rep. Ann Lininger, D-Portland, told her fellow Democrats on Tuesday, according to a text message obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive. (Text messages, to be clear, are not treated like emails under the Legislature's public records rules and can be deleted instantaneously.)

"Legislators are subject to $50 gift limit per giver," the text message continues. "An oz of top-quality MJ could sell for $125. If a legislator chooses to accept any gifts, I suggest he or she except well below an 1 oz from any giver and avoid receiving/possessing more than 1 oz total. Just so u know."

employers are not forced to change how they test. Testing for residue and testing for impairment. My question is where do all these people work where they don't get tested. I sit behind a computer all day and nothing I do is a safety thing and I am subject to random testing.
