Pot nation gains new territory, but cashing in requires patience by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine March 2, 2015, 8:21 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Pot is now legal in Alaska, but entrepreneurs with dreams of chasing the potential marijuana bonanza must wait while lawmakers shape the rules of what will be a strictly regulated market. Alaska's new state law legalizing recreational marijuana use officially went into effect Tuesday after passing as part of a ballot initiative last November. It is a historic change for the state, which joins Colorado, Washington and Oregon as legalizing recreational pot. With the new law, Alaskan residents over the age of 21 are now free to carry up to an ounce of marijuana and grow as many as six marijuana plants at home. Marijuana retail stores will eventually be able to open after officials complete details about permitting. Meanwhile, Thursday marked the beginning of legal recreational pot in Washington, D.C., after residents voted to allow personal use in November. But that ballot measure – which some members of Congress have threatened to overturn – did not cover sales of marijuana, so residents must either grow their own pot or have it given to them for free. Stores can not legally sell pot. But some enterprising entrepreneurs are reportedly already seeing a boon to ancillary businesses, including sales of indoor gardening equipment and legal smoking paraphernalia. Much like Colorado and Washington — both of which officially legalized recreational marijuana sales last year — Alaska's marijuana legislation includes a requirement that officials create rules for its recreational pot market. But Alaskans will likely have to wait until sometime next year before they can walk into a store and legally buy marijuana. State lawmakers have nine months to draft those rules, and the state will not begin accepting applications from prospective growers and sellers until February 2016. (Oregon also passed a law to create a legal recreational marijuana market, which will also open next year. Legalized possession of recreational pot will go into effect there in July.) The Coalition for Responsible Cannabis Legislation helped push for the passage of Alaska's legal marijuana market and is now working with lawmakers to help shape the rules. The Coalition also plans to give advice to prospective business-owners. Brandon Emmett, the Coalition's executive director, told Fortune the group is looking to steer potential pot entrepreneurs "in the proper direction and keep them informed enough so they can succeed when the regulations are finalized." It comes as no surprise that people would be interested in setting up shop within the legal cannabis industry after it kicks off in Alaska. The legal cannabis industry grew 74%, to $2.7 billion, in the U.S. last year, according to research from marijuana-focused venture capital firm The ArcView Group. In Alaska, the legal marijuana market will reach $55 million in sales next year and potentially double in size by 2020, according to a report the Marijuana Policy Group put out ahead of November's elections. Emmett is convinced that entrepreneurs will be very interested in cashing in on the so-called "green rush." He doesn't want people to start pouring resources into business before they have the proper approvals, only to wind up out of luck if they cannot secure licensing or zoning. Emmett and the Coalition also want the eventual legal pot market to be inclusive of up-and-coming entrepreneurs, not just wealth business-owners who are already flush with capital. For that reason, Emmett tells prospective business-owners to work on securing funding, and shoring up their business plan, even before the market's regulations are in place. "Be flexible in your business plan," he said. "Make sure that you're not under-capitalized." The Coalition is in contact with legislators on both state and local levels to advocate for rules that are friendly to business-owners while incentivizing entrepreneurs and customers to move from the black market. Earlier this week, Alaska Governor Bill Walker filed to create a marijuana control board that would operate within the state's Commerce Department, similar to the existing Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. The Coalition is hopeful that it will be represented on the marijuana board, which will help define the laws for Alaska's legal marijuana market, Emmett said. Walker's bill also included a provision that would require all licensed marijuana growers and retailers to be Alaskan residents for at least one year prior to applying for a license. Among other pressing issues the board will need to address, Emmett said, is how the state will define the types of business licenses it hands out. Growers, retailers, and processors who extract concentrated oils and other marijuana byproducts will need to be covered in some way. The board will also need to consider rules for packaging cannabis and related products to keep them out of the hands of minors, as well the amount of THC — the psychoactive component in marijuana — allowed in edible marijuana products. "There's quite a lot of the nitty-gritty that still has to be hammered out in these nine months, because we're basically going from zero to 60 in no time flat," Emmett said.
Fortune 5: The most potent pot economies in the world by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine February 18, 2015, 10:36 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons The liberalization of cannabis laws has been one of the biggest and most surprising business stories of the past decade. Over the past 10 years, several states in the U.S. have legalized medical marijuana, while four—Washington, Oregon, Colorado, and Alaska—have legalized recreational use. Meanwhile, poll data shows that a majority of Americans support outright legalization for the first time. As of January, 23 states and the District of Columbia have laws that allow marijuana use of some kind, and we can expect to see additional ballot measures addressing the issue in the years to come. The legal changes have been a boon for legitimate businesses, which are scrambling to get a piece of the more than $40 billion U.S. consumers spend per year on the drug, according to an estimate from the Rand Corporation. These companies must tread lightly since cannabis remains illegal on the federal level and in most countries around the world. At the same time, many analysts believe that the pot industry is ripe for consolidation as more legal barriers come down. After all, the weed market would benefit from economies of scale, and the company that successfully captures the public's imagination with the right branding could be a nationwide player. David Sealy, an analyst with The Boston Company, argues that Big Tobacco companies are well positioned to use their experience selling cigarettes and dealing with zealous regulators to create a cannabis oligopoly. But any empire builder worth his salt won't be satisfied just with the U.S. market. The rest of the world is also rethinking marijuana prohibition, with countries like Uruguay allowing a legal and regulated cannabis industry to form this year. Here are the biggest pot economies in the world, according to data compiled by the Rand Corporation. Rand ranks these countries not by total size of the market for cannabis, but by the percentage of GDP devoted to cannabis in each country, as this measure gives us a better idea of the depth of popularity of the drug in each country. You'll notice the U.S. doesn't make the cut. While Americans spend more on pot than any other developed country, the U.S. also has the largest economy in the world. When you compare American pot purchases to its massive economy, we only spend 0.14% of our total income on the drug, good for 14th place.
Apple's ban on marijuana social networking app goes up in smoke by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine February 13, 2015, 4:24 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Apple has lightened up on restrictions that once banned cannabis-focused social networking apps from its App Store. The tech giant reversed course Thursday night by making MassRoots, a social network for cannabis lovers, available on the iOS App Store a little over three months after banning the site's app. MassRoots first became available through the App Store in 2013, but Apple decided to pull the app last month due to conflicts with company guidelines banning "apps that encourage excessive consumption of alcohol or illegal substances." To avoid running afoul of that App Store rule, MassRoots agreed to add a geo-restricting function that only makes the app available in the 23 states that have legalized medical marijuana, the social network said Friday in a blog post. That tweak apparently swayed Apple, as the app was once again available for download from the App Store as of Friday. (MacRumors noted last night that it was possible to bypass the geo-restrictions by signing up for a MassRoots account through the company's website before logging into the app, though MassRoots founder Isaac Dietrich later said his site was working to close that loophole by Friday.) With the return of MassRoots to the App Store, iOS users are once again free to use their Apple devices to access a social network that connects them with nearly a quarter-million of their fellow pot enthusiasts. The site is similar to Instagram and Twitter in that people can find other marijuana users in their area, and follow them, while posting their own messages, pictures and videos. Apple's AAPL decision also comes after MassRoots mounted a public campaign looking to convince the company to change its policies on marijuana-themed software. The social network said Friday that thousands of users sent Apple emails asking it to lift the ban on MassRoots. The app's creators also sent Apple CEO Tim Cook a letter co-signed by the National Cannabis Industry Association as well as by pot-focused investment firm ArcView Group and a few dozen marijuana businesses. The letter suggested that "strong regulations are more effective than prohibitionist policies." In Friday's blog post, MassRoots' creators thanked the app's users and Apple while also promising strict compliance with Apple guidelines and government regulations. "We do not take this task lightly," the company said. Apple did not respond to Fortune's request for comment, but a cursory search of the App Store reveals a wide selection of marijuana-focused apps. These include apps for Yelp-like services such as Leafly and WeedMaps, which help users find pot dispensaries and review specific cannabis strains, while cannabis culture magazines High Times and Cannabis Now both have their own apps as well. The App Store even caters to marijuana gamers, with mobile games that let users grow and sell their own virtual weed crops. MassRoots also isn't the only company whose app looks to connect marijuana users. Earlier this month, Time reported that visitors to the App Store can download a dating app called High There! that is designed like Tinder, but which caters only to love-seekers who are also cannabis-friendly. Despite the crowded market for marijuana-related apps, Apple's decision is a big one for MassRoots. MassRoots remained available to Android users despite the temporary Apple ban, but Apple has more than a 40% share of the U.S. smartphone market, so the company's decision to ban the social network effectively cut off MassRoots from a large number of potential users. The app claims roughly 250,000 users, and Dietrich says there is no other marijuana-focused social networking site with more than 10,000. Dietrich told Fortune that MassRoots closed a fundraising round of about $1.4 million in January, for a valuation of $25 million. While the site is not yet seeing any revenue, Dietrich said MassRoots is currently lining up advertisers and he expects the company could start seeing roughly $1 million in monthly revenue within two years. Clearing this obstacle with Apple — not to mention the resulting publicity — could pave the way for more investors to get involved, and Dietrich said he expects to open a second funding round next week. He's not yet sure of the upcoming round's ultimate value, but he expects it to easily exceed the first round of fundraising based on Apple's willingness to host MassRoots' app as well as the growing willingness among investors to put money into the cannabis industry. Recently, PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel's Founders Fund joined a $75 million funding round for Privateer Holdings, which owns Leafly and other cannabis-related brands. "We feel there's significant upside to our valuation," Dietrich said.
Potheads finally have their dating app by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine February 6, 2015, 11:37 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com. By Kevin McSpadden, TIME Attention love-seeking stoners. A Denver company has come up with a dating app that you need in your life. It's called High There! and designed like Tinder: users create profiles and swipe through the photos of potential dates, except this version is clearly aimed at fans of ganja. "I hated dating on other sites and apps because as soon as the idea of my cannabis consumption came up—date over. I actually walked out of a date (after paying of course) and said to myself, that's it," CEO Todd Mitchem told the Fast Company blog Co.Exist The app takes the Tinder model one step further by actually optimizing possible matches according to consumption preferences. Are you a lazy stoner? Do you prefer to use a vaporizer? These preferences will be taken into consideration to find an ideal fit. Right now, High There! is only available in states that have fully legalized cannabis or have medicinal marijuana laws.
U.S. Surgeon General warms to medical marijuana by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine February 4, 2015, 7:50 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy expressed optimism about the medical benefits of marijuana use in a Wednesday television interview. Speaking on CBS This Morning, Murthy said there is some promising research about medical uses of the drug, which is legal in some states but still banned on the federal level. "We have some preliminary data showing that for certain medical conditions and symptoms, that marijuana can be helpful," Murthy told CBS. "I think that we have to use that data to drive policymaking." Murthy added that more research is needed "to see what the science tells us about the efficacy of marijuana," but he said more data should be on the way thanks to the growing list of states passing laws to legalize medical marijuana. The Surgeon General's statements follow what seems to be growing acceptance in the federal government of medical marijuana. In December, Congress passed a spending measure that included a provision to effectively end the federal ban on medical marijuana in states where it is legal. At the moment, 23 states allow the use of medical marijuana, despite the fact that federal laws still classify marijuana as a Schedule 1 drug — the most dangerous level, which also includes heroin and ecstasy. Four states have passed laws legalizing recreational pot along with Washington, D.C. At a Senate confirmation hearing last year, some politicians asked Murthy to clarify his stance on marijuana legalization. The physician said at the time that, much like other drugs, he would not recommend that anyone use marijuana. "I don't think it's a good habit to use marijuana," he said. Still, there is some precedent of U.S. Surgeon Generals showing open minds when it comes to medical marijuana's potential benefits. Regina Benjamin, who served in the post from 2009 to 2013, acknowledged that the drug could have medicinal uses. But she felt more research was necessary. Former U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who occupied the job in the early 1990's, said in 2010 that she supported legalization and added that marijuana is not addictive. UPDATE: Murthy later added clarification in a statement issued by the Department of Health and Human Services on the Surgeon General's behalf, according to The Huffington Post. In the statement, Murthy said that marijuana policy "should be driven by science." He goes on to add: "While clinical trials for certain components of marijuana appear promising for some medical conditions, neither the FDA nor the Institute of Medicine have found smoked marijuana to meet the standards for safe and effective medicine for any condition to date."
Report predicts 18 states will legalize pot by 2020 by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine January 26, 2015, 6:56 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Time. The article below was originally published at Time.com Katy Steinmetz, TIME A new report predicts that 18 U.S. states will have legalized recreational marijuana in the next five years, a huge increase from the four states that currently have or are in the process of creating legal markets for pot. The report, set to be released in February from ArcView Market Research, a firm that pairs investors with marijuana-related businesses, was sponsored by marijuana industry groups and has a pro-legalization tone. But their prediction is not simply self-serving optimism. The map below shows the states where ArcView's researchers believe recreational pot shops will open their doors: This chart appears in the executive summary of Arcview Market Research's Marijuana Markets report, 3rd Edition. The map has a lot of overlap with the places where the Marijuana Policy Project, the group that helped launch legal weed in Colorado, already has workers on the ground in preparation for legalization votes over the next two years. Yet MPP is a bit more cautious in its outlook: the group believes 12 states could join Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Alaska in allowing recreational pot by 2017. Unlike ArcView (whose executive director sits on MPP's board), they're not banking on legalization taking root in Montana, New Jersey or Connecticut over the next few years, according to spokesperson Morgan Fox. He says they're concentrating current efforts in Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, and Nevada. They see Texas — yes, Texas — as an outside possibility. In the report, Arcview claims that "2014 will be remembered as a year when … a sense of inevitability about national legalization became conventional wisdom among elected officials and the general public." But the issue and the mood of the electorate are far from settled. In November, Gallup released a poll showing that a majority of Americans favor legalization. But it's a slim majority of 51%, down from 58% in 2013, with many conservatives still balking at the idea. As with so many other political issues, the speed at which states legalize marijuana is going to be affected by the rate at which donors are willing to pour money into elections and lobbying. In 2014, casino magnate Sheldon Adelson proved that there is a Republican with deep pockets willing to spend big to fight against legalization. In Florida's midterm election, voters considered an amendment to legalize medical marijuana, and Adelson shelled out at least $5.5 million to defeat the measure. It failed by a 2% margin, just shy of the 60% required to pass. Meanwhile, legalization advocates have lost stalwart funders like Peter Lewis, the chairman of Progressive Insurance who died in 2013. By one estimate, he had spent $40 on legalization efforts since the 1980s. His allies have been scrambling to fill the funding hole left by Lewis. In Florida, the effort to legalize medical marijuana was largely bankrolled by one man, personal injury lawyer John Morgan, who was behind about $4 million in funds. He has vowed to try again in 2016, but legalization advocates fighting for reform in other states can't necessarily count on his support. MPP's Mason Tvert says that while money is obviously important for their cause, "there's no one individual who is going to be responsible for passing these measures." Two other factors will be key to determining if the above map proves accurate: whether the federal government continues to keep its distance from state experiments with legalization (which remain illegal under federal law), and whether states with existing legal markets encounter any major problems. In Colorado, for example, parties are gearing up for a political fight over edibles, which have led to children who accidentally ingested them being hospitalized. One of those groups is Smart Colorado, which includes parents concerned about the pace at which marijuana laws have been liberalized. "We're looking out for public safety and our kids," founder Gina Carbone told TIME in an earlier interview about edibles regulations, "not just expanding this huge market." According to the new report, legal weed yielded $2.7 billion in retail and wholesale sales in 2014. Tvert says there's also the possibility of an "unexpected event" that could thwart or boost their cause, such as an endorsement from a major, mainstream celebrity or a high-profile incident that could set the movement back. "A big part of this is really optics," he says.
7 celebrities looking to cash in on the cannabis industry's 'Green Rush' by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine January 26, 2015, 3:02 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons While the alcohol industry has long had celebrities like Sean "Diddy" Combs and Bethenny Frankel endorsing brands, we're just starting to see marijuana brands endorsed by musicians, actors and, well . . . Bethenny Frankel again. Entrepreneurs across the U.S. are flocking to the burgeoning cannabis industry as more and more states pass legislation legalizing the sale of marijuana in some form. That proliferation of pot-related businesses means that business-owners are scrambling for ways to make their brand stand out in the minds of consumers. Cue the celebrities, who have been popping up across the marijuana industry recently with product endorsements as well as their own pot-related brands. When you think of celebrities and pot, a host of well-known weed advocates likely spring to mind. Music icon Willie Nelson is an outspoken supporter of marijuana legalization who often throws his support behind political candidates with similar views. Meanwhile, actress and co-host of The View Whoopi Goldberg penned a column last year that details her love of her vaporizer pen — a tool for inhaling weed and other herbs — and comedian Sarah Silverman even showed off her own "vape" pen on the red carpet before attending last year's Emmy awards. In other words, there seems to be no shortage of celebrities who would surprise no one by jumping into the legal pot business. Here's a look at several famous names who are already looking to cash in on the "green rush":
Founders Fund joins $75 million investment in cannabis company by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine January 8, 2015, 9:34 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Let's make one thing clear: Brendan Kennedy, co-founder of cannabis company Privateer Holdings, does not like images of pot leaves. Branding-wise, he believes the marijuana industry is its own worst enemy. "Everything is named 'canna-something' or 'mari-something,' with a green and black logo and pot leaves," he says. Cannabis will be a mainstream product, he insists, but it has to lose the cheesy subculture clichés first. That explains why Kennedy looks at home wearing a grey suit (no tie) in the downtown Manhattan headquarters of Privateer's newest subsidiary, Marley Natural. The room is indistinguishable from the office of any other startup, with exposed brick walls and rows of uncluttered West Elm tables. I suppose I expected beaded curtains and five-foot bongs, but the only evidence that the space is occupied by a marijuana seller is a single portrait of Bob Marley, the company's namesake, in the entryway. Today the company moves one step closer to legitimacy, securing a large round of institutional funding, a first for the industry. Founders Fund, the investment firm created by Peter Thiel, has joined a Series B round of funding worth $75 million for Privateer Holdings. More than $50 million of the round has closed so far, including a $15 million convertible note from February of last year. The entire round will officially close in a few weeks, Kennedy says. Founder's Fund has not disclosed the exact amount of its investment beyond "multi-millions" of dollars. The funding from Founder's Fund is a significant milestone for Privateer, which, in addition to Marley Natural, operates Tilray, a mail-order service for medical marijuana in Canada, and Leafly, a sort of Yelp for dispensaries. Large investment firms have been wary to do business with marijuana companies, even in states like Colorado where the drug is legal, because it remains illegal in the eyes of the federal government. When Privateer Holdings got its start in 2011, Kennedy pitched 500 investors over the course of two years. It was a struggle to scrape together a $7 million Series A round of funding from high net worth individuals and family offices. Four years later, investors are more open-minded. The first investor Kennedy ever met, who passed on the deal in 2010, decided to joined Privateer's Series B. Founders Fund, an early investor in Facebook FB , Airbnb, and SpaceX, became comfortable making a marijuana investment after a year and a half of diligence on Privateer, partner Geoff Lewis says. When he first became interested in the category, he realized how few real opportunities there were. The entrepreneurs fell into two categories, he says: either they've been in the industry for a long time, which means they were operating illegally at some point, or they have a gold rush mentality, looking to make a quick buck. Privateer impressed him with the way it navigated the complex legal environment, and the fact that it delivered everything Kennedy has said it would. Both Tilray, which has 100 employees and shipped 35,000 packages last year, and Leafly, which has four million monthly unique visitors, expect to turn a profit in 2015. But those companies serve medicinal marijuana customers; Marley Natural is Privateer's entree into recreational use. Kennedy is keenly aware that the branding of legal recreational cannabis will have an impact on how mainstream his industry becomes. Partnering with the family of Bob Marley was "such an obvious move," he says. The announcement alone garnered two billion media impressions, and the attention allowed Marley Natural to recruit talent and form new partnerships. Not to mention the instant brand recognition. "It takes time to build a brand," Kennedy says. "We skipped five to ten years with that announcement." With today's announcement, Privateer becomes the most well-funded company in a burgeoning industry predicted to be worth $35 billion. With the addition of a brand name institutional investor like Founders Fund, Kennedy is hoping his toughest customers—banks and investors—will take notice.

High stakes: How this marijuana company gained buzz in a budding market by Tom Huddleston, Jr. @FortuneMagazine December 26, 2014, 9:00 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Entrepreneur. The article below was originally published at Entrepreneur.com. By Joe Robinson, Entrepreneur.com The bed was a mattress on the floor, the night tables two cardboard boxes. It wasn't exactly what Ata Gonzalez and his wife had envisioned. Just a couple of years earlier, they had made millions in the Florida real-estate market, only to lose it all in a music venture that completely drained their savings. They traveled to California to stake a claim in an even more adventurous business: the burgeoning medical marijuana trade. "I was a step away from being homeless," recalls Gonzalez, who lived on cheese sandwiches as he waited for his first cannabis harvest at the farm he was renting. "The pressure was intense. My wife gave birth a month before harvest. I don't know how I didn't have a heart attack. You hear all these stories that people would come and steal your crops." It seemed preposterous. Gonzalez had never grown anything, let alone handled large-scale farming. Yet he had done his homework. For the better part of a year, he made trips to California to learn how to grow cannabis and sell it to dispensaries. He joined a collective and learned how to cultivate, cure and trim the crop. Despite the challenges, the first harvest of their fledgling company, G FarmaLabs, was a success and found buyers. So Gonzalez decided to expand output by planting at another farm, then another. Then, and only then, did he upgrade his bedroom furniture, preferring to put all earnings back into the company. Five years after that first grow, Anaheim, Calif.-based G FarmaLabs is one of the leading companies in the cannabis space, with 40 employees including in-house scientists, and has an expanding array of some 50 products, ranging from vape pens to 20 flavors of infused chocolate edibles. Gonzalez has his sights set on a cannabis empire. His Liquid Gold Delights Mint Meltaways were named "Best Edible" at the 2014 Southern California Medical Cannabis Cup, and his Liquid Gold Chocolate Bars won the Kush Cup at the Kush medical marijuana expo in Anaheim. The chocolates are decorated and packaged in sophisticated designs that would rival those of any deluxe confectioner. "We see a lot of hippie products in the market," says Gonzalez. "We want to step it up, lead the pack. We see ourselves as a national brand, a world brand. We're trying to create a Coca-Cola, not just a product available in California." But growing a cannabis business comes with hurdles not faced by the average venture. Medical marijuana is legal only in 23 states and the District of Columbia, and recreational weed is legal in Colorado, Washington and, as of November, Alaska, Oregon and the District of Columbia. Each state has its own rules, making a central manufacturing system difficult. And then there's the banking problem. Since marijuana is still on the federal books as a Schedule 1 narcotic (categorized as dangerous as heroin), banks are wary of working with businesses that touch the plant. "Not being able to bank, how does somebody lend you money?" Gonzalez asks. "You're forced to pay a lot of things in cash." Since launching the business, he has had to employ armed guards. Indeed, the vagaries of cannabis laws and politics have made for risky business. Gonzalez spent $100,000 to open a dispensary in the Eagle Rock neighborhood of Los Angeles, but it was closed by local authorities in a backlash to dispensary proliferation. A second shop lasted only three months before Gonzalez decided retailing wasn't for him. He lost $200,000 on his dispensary ventures. "Every month in the dispensary business was like a year," he says. "You never knew if you were going to have a store the next morning." But laws have solidified since then, Gonzalez says, and he has ambitious plans, including new edible products and a crowdfunding website that will help other cannabis entrepreneurs get off the ground. How far G FarmaLabs goes depends on the Department of Justice changing its classification of marijuana and the end of prohibition nationwide, for which Gonzalez is a public advocate. "When that happens, there are literally billions of dollars drooling over being in this business," he says. Until then, the watchwords are patience, persistence and cardboard furniture.

I've had this PSU for a couple of years now and have found it very useful. I don't need more than 0.1v accuracy. It has current limiting capability and I plan to use this to simulate a solar cell output, there is also an open/close switch on the output. Nice, simple clear output, all in all very good.
A superb unit and great value. Stability is first rate - has been powering an experimental circuit all day taking greatly varying currents and the output voltage has remained rock solid. Output on/off switch is a very useful addition.
I use this equipment for running 'O' gauge model railways - some of them 'vintage' Hornby which require 20v AC. The unit copes well and has never let me down - others with similar interests use them very successfully. The unit lets us know if someone is running a 'rogue' item drawing more current than it should! Good value for money.
Nicely constructed with a clear LCD. Setting of voltage is a little vague and current setting isn't retained when switched off but when set works very well.
I use the power supply for various home projects, it works very well, no problems so far. The current limiter is a very usefull feature it saves things being "cooked" if you get your wiring wrong. Also great for charging nicads or nimh batterys.
Excellent piece of kit - I use it as a power supply for 'O' gauge vintage electric trains!
This is a great little power supply with wide ranges and clear indication. The display is backlit and enables the user to set the values without the unit outputting. However, it cannot supply below 1 volt. It has an easily accessible power switch on the back and includes a carry handle. All in all, a very accurate and quality product, but could be designed a bit better.
Excellent delivery - within 24 hours of placing order. The unit is smaller than I expected. A professional looking piece of kit. Very easy to use. I particularly like the output on/ off switch. Very useful. At the special price, anyone looking for a bench power supply could not do better than this.
These units certainly look the part and take up a small bench surface footprint. Two fit side by side very well. It would be better if they course and fine voltage and current controls so they could be set more easily to within one tenth of a volt or a fraction of an amp. The two units I bought are only two serial numbers apart but the LEDs that illuminate the screen have noticably different brightness which spoils their look when both are on side by side. Each comes with 1m long black and red connecting leads with insulated crock clips on one end and banana plugs on the other. They also have a 2m mains lead. The mains ON/OFF switch is on the back panel and a steel tab with a 6mm hole is provided so they can be secured to the bench in locations where they may be stolen. I got mine in the January Sale 2011 which was a real bonus.
This is absolutely top notch; a beautifully compact, and functional, bench power supply.

chefjimbob - 1999 Saturn SL - Body & Interior - 2/1/2011
2/1/2011 BenderPlace the keys in the ignition, turn the keys to accessory mode (key-on/engine off), and make sure the wiper motor switch is in the off position. Turn the ignition switch to the off position and remove the keys. The wiper arms are now in their parked position, although may not be properly aligned.
Access the bottom of the compromised wiper blade arm. You may have to open the hood or remove the wiper arm cowling (refer to the owners manual for the removal of the cowling on your specific vehicle if required).
Locate the retaining nut at the bottom of the wiper arm assembly. Some models will have a protective plastic cap covering the nut. Other vehicles may have a hinged cover that is part of the wiper arm itself. Pry the cap off with a straight-edge screwdriver or unsnap the hinged cover by prying it up from the bottom of the wiper arm with the screwdriver to reveal the retaining nut.
Hold the wiper arm stable with one hand and remove the nut with the ratchet and a socket with the other.
Wiggle the wiper arm gently with one hand while gently prying the base of the arm off of the splined wiper arm stud. The stud has small splines that hold the wiper arm in the correct position unless otherwise compromised. The wiper arm will feel secured to the stud, but the combination of wiggling (gently) and prying with the screwdriver will work to remove the arm.
Place the wiper arm back onto the splined wiper arm stud by positioning it in the off position. Some vehicles may have a wiper arm stop that the arm rests against in the off position. If so, make sure the wiper arm is resting against the wiper arm stop when replacing it on the stud.
Replace the retaining nut and tighten with the ratchet and socket. Repeat this procedure for the other wiper arm if desired.
Use two sets of pliers to bend the wiper arm back into position if the wiper arm has been bent. Hold the wiper arm with one set of pliers to anchor it and use the other set to bend it so the wiper is perpendicular to the windshield. If the arm is bent too badly, replacing the wiper arm may be a more viable option.

Short-Term Loans
What are Short-Term Loans?
Short-term loans are intended to help eligible students with temporary cash flow problems pay the amount due for their *current* tuition and fees (it is not available for any past due balances). The loans are awarded for the minimum amount of tuition and fees each semester. The loans are posted to the student account in order to make the first payment in the fall or spring or the entire payment in a summer semester.
How to Get a Short-Term Loan
Students must meet the following criteria in order to qualify for a loan:
- No outstanding blocks (Service Indicators preventing the student from receiving a Short-Term Loan).
- No outstanding loans (Service Indicator showing loan default status).
- Students who have previously defaulted on a short-term loan that has been sent to a collection agency are not eligible to receive short-term loans.
Students can get short-term loans online through their MyUNT portal by following these steps:
- Log on to my.unt.edu using your EUID and password.
- On the left-hand side menu, click on "Finances"
- Click on"Enroll in Payment Plan"
- Click on the "Short Term Loan" tab.
- Read carefully, then click "Continue Processing Loan."
- Read the terms of the loan carefully and print them if you like, then click the check box stating "I accept the terms of the Short Term Loan & Installment Plan."
- To finalize, click "Accept Terms and Proceed with Loan" and you will be taken to a screen stating the amount of your short-term loan.
- If you wish to see your new payment schedule, click the "Account Inquiry" tab at the top. Then, click the "Charges Due" tab to review your due dates and print or record them for reference.
Students can apply for short-term loans in person:
Students can also apply for short-term loans in person at Student Accounting on the Denton campus, located in Room 105 of the Eagle Student Services Center and at the UNT Dallas Campus (located on 7300 University Hill Blvd., Dallas, Texas 75241).
Repayment Arrangements
Students will automatically be placed on the UNT Installment Plan when obtaining a short-term loan for the fall or spring semesters. Short-term loans can be issued to pay the first installment amount if a student's anticipated aid is not enough to cover the first installment amount. Short-term loans are issued for the first installment amount minus any anticipated aid amount.

Jimmy Kimmel's 'Kimmel School of Perfect Acting' Is the Best/Worst Oscars Advice Ever [VIDEO]
After the 2015 Oscars last night (Feb. 22), Jimmy Kimmel introduced us to "The Kimmel School of Perfect Acting" and our lives haven't been the same since.
After the 2015 Oscars last night (Feb. 22), Jimmy Kimmel introduced us to "The Kimmel School of Perfect Acting" and our lives haven't been the same since.
Jimmy Kimmel brought up an interesting point during his show last night (Nov. 25): where are all the Thanksgiving carols!?
Directioners, One Direction's appearance on 'Jimmy Kimmel' last night (Nov. 20) was so epic that we almost don't even know where to begin.
It's time for our favorite thing, like ever: The latest installment of celebrities reading mean tweets on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'! This edition include stars such as Britney Spears, Lena Dunham and Chloe Grace Moretz.
As we get closer and closer to the release of '1989,' Taylor Swift is busy making the rounds, popping by 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' for two epic performances and more.
There's nothing we love more than a good prank, especially when that prank involves a super cute celeb like Ansel Elgort surprising one of his super fans.
Even with a successful television show and numerous albums to her name, Selena Gomez still gets excited about the little things. At least that's what she implied when she raved about her mini-fridge last night.
The tweets may have been hilariously cruel, but the stars took them all in stride -- especially Michael Strahan, who read one tweet about the gap in his teeth with a pretty giant grin.
Jimmy Kimmel wrote some 'Friends' fan fiction -- and convinced Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow to act it out with him.
Nanu nanu! Jimmy Kimmel paid tribute to the late Robin Williams by wearing rainbow suspenders under his tuxedo at the 2014 Emmys.

Ted, Re-reading my response to your first message, I fear I might have been a little harsh on you. Probably because I felt defensive about being accused of being a newbie! Anyway, I apologize for the tone of my message. I really do appreciate your attempt to help and I do think your website can be a valuable aid to both newbies and more experienced researchers. I too get frustrated at times. One of my pet peeves is when someone takes a couple of months or so to respond to an e-mail, and then doesn't quote any of the original exchange so I can't tell what the heck they are talking about. I get about 30 genealogy e-mails a day, and it's hard to go back and search through hundreds of them to find out who is being discussed in a message like: "Cousin Jim died last January". I have also seen many queries of the type that you discuss on your webpage. I really should have included more information in mine on here, but because for me the Fifield/Fiefield surname is so rare, I thought I could take a shortcut. I doubt that anything I mentioned in my previous message is valuable enough to post on your website or original enough that I should be cited as the source, but you are welcome to use anything you want. Thanks again and good luck with your searches! Notify Administrator about this message?

Unfinished business? After 10 years of concerts?
Yes, and plenty of it. The Schubertiade at the 92d Street Y, an annual series of concerts that ended last year, put forth many triumphs: not least, its own survival against worsening odds. Yet it was largely a story of unfinished business, from the cosmic level to the personal.
The cosmic angle is gone, and there is nothing to be done. But some personal disappointment should be partly redeemed this evening, when the German baritone and Schubert specialist Hermann Prey sings a program of Schubert's last songs at the Y, with James Levine at the piano. The program includes the posthumously collected song cycle ''Schwanengesang,'' which Mr. Prey and Mr. Levine were to have performed last year before Mr. Prey had to cancel.
In conception, the Schubertiade could hardly have been more cosmic: an attempt to present all of Schubert's music in chronological order, ending in the bicentennial year of the composer's birth, 1997. In practice, it did not even come close.
Wholesale changes in the Y's administration eroded commitment to the project over the years, and after three seasons it was interrupted and scaled down to series featuring bodies of Schubert's work related by genre or theme. Still, it persisted, limping gamely or striding proudly ahead, with Mr. Prey, the originator of the idea, providing moral as well as musical support.
Then came the finale last April, with Mr. Prey, in all his autumnal glory, scheduled to sing the three Schubert song cycles and to see the project to its end, just as, in 1988, he had promised he would. But none of it happened. Mr. Prey canceled his entire participation in the event because of exhaustion.
''It was so terrible for me,'' Mr. Prey, now 68, said the other day in an apartment near Lincoln Center borrowed from the tenor Placido Domingo. ''That should have been the climax, to do the three cycles here.
''I guess I overdid it a little. I did six evenings of Schubert, for the Schubert year, in Suntory Hall in Tokyo, 2,300 people sold out, in 12 days. It was about nine and a half hours of Schubert lieder in front of running cameras for television and video. I did these programs before, but never so compactly. The exhaustion was not a question of voice or physical condition. I was tired in my head. I couldn't think.''
Slim consolation for New York, but Mr. Prey did, at least, have the satisfaction of seeing a parallel project in Vienna run to completion last year. Beginning earlier and proceeding at a more deliberate pace, the Vienna Schubertiade covered considerably more ground.
''It was not 100 percent complete, but most of it,'' Mr. Prey said. ''It was easier in Vienna. We had churches and all these places where Schubert lived, and it was very nice.''
As for the rest, unfinished business is not something that seems to haunt Mr. Prey in the waning days of his career. He has had a long, full life in opera as well as in song, and he remains busy with concerts and master classes. The only roles he still performs on the opera stage are the ridiculous pedant Beckmesser in Wagner's ''Meistersinger,'' to which his nuanced portrayal has always lent a certain underlying dignity, and the beleaguered Music Master in Strauss's ''Ariadne auf Naxos.'' He plans to perform Beckmesser on his 70th birthday, next year, in Munich.
''I'm a stage horse,'' he said. ''I like to be on the stage, and I miss it.''
He especially misses the role of the carefree bird catcher Papageno in Mozart's ''Zauberflote.'' ''Papageno was my greatest part, because it was really me,'' he said. ''Like Papageno says, 'I live for eating, drinking.' ''
Mr. Prey says he intends to perform songs -- ''my Schubert lieder and my Brahms and my Wolf'' -- as long as he can. For years now, virtually every review of his singing has noted wear in the voice; nearly as universal is the observation that Mr. Prey, who has always been a sensitive and intelligent singer, manages to minimize the damage and even turn it to his advantage in portraying, for example, vulnerability.
''At the moment I am still in the position that I can do anything I want with my voice, sometimes better than before,'' Mr. Prey said. ''And I have 40 years of experience. This is a very unusual combination. Most singing artists, if they know what to do, it's too late. I don't know why, but in the last three or four years, everything is simpler, more relaxed.''
Mr. Prey owns up to no regrets. Oh, he might have liked to sing the title role of Tchaikovsky's ''Eugene Onegin,'' a good part for him, in Russian. He might not have let slip an important opportunity to sing Wolfram in Wagner's ''Tannhauser'' at the Metropolitan Opera.
''You can't have everything,'' he said. ''But I still have ambition.''
At least one fascinating departure may still lie ahead, and in an unexpected quarter. ''My hope is that somebody would write a piece -- a stage play or musical comedy or something like that -- for me, the way Frank Loesser wrote that wonderful piece 'The Most Happy Fella,' '' Mr. Prey said. ''Of course, it wouldn't be about a Sicilian, like Tony. It would have to be about someone from Berlin, like me.''
He has long flirted with more populist forms of music. ''They ask me from time to time to play the old guy in operettas,'' he said. But as a German, he is wary of some Austrian roles. He feels comfortable mostly in Viennese styles, and he has recently been performing Schrammel music, song in a folkish style accompanied by a quartet of instrumentalists.
When will New Yorkers next hear him? ''I have no plans at all,'' he said. ''Because of this cancellation, everybody's frightened: 'Can we take him? Isn't he too old?' ''
Maybe his next appearance will be on Broadway, singing the hit tune ''Ich bin ein Berliner,'' from the new musical by . . . composers out there?

There's been some interesting debate recently around the proposal of Assembly Bill 85 by Rep. Joe Sanfelippo (R-West Allis) to reduce the pay and clarify the scope of the Milwaukee County Board. Opponents of the reform have cited in their defense everything from "local control" to "checks and balances" and warning of a complete meltdown of democracy as we know it. From reading a recent op-ed in the Journal Sentinel by two county supervisors, one would think even George Washington had a soft spot in his heart for the Milwaukee County Board!
The one thing that seems to be missing from all the rhetoric and debate is an objective look about how effective our current form of county governance really is.
My wife and I are those coveted "educated young professionals" you often hear about in the news. I'm an information technology professional in the health care industry, and my wife has a post-graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and works for Milwaukee Public Schools. Despite having multiple opportunities in other cities, we've chosen to live in Milwaukee and raise our four children here because we've always felt Milwaukee's quality of life was something special.
However, we've become more and more concerned as the continued dysfunction of the County Board - the governance body that oversees many of those quality-of-life services - is starting to have a negative effect on things such as our parks, museums, transit system and, most important, public safety. For over a decade now, we've waited patiently for the promises of "reform" to materialize from Milwaukee County government.
Every election cycle, we've heard about it, as I'm sure you have. Reform is coming! On the nightly news, we are told, "It's a new day in Milwaukee County government!" and that change is (once again) just around the corner.
Just one more report from the "long-range strategic planning committee to study the feasibility of long-range strategic planning committees" and we could finally get down to tackling the problems facing our parks, transit system, mental health services and public safety! You know, the real issues that families such as mine expect our county government to be fixing.
And then another election would roll around, and bus fares go up while routes are cut. Our parks deteriorate a little more. More people die while in county custody.
This dysfunction with the County Board really hit home for me last fall when County Executive Chris Abele put his "parks patrol" plan forward. As someone who spends a lot of time in our county parks with my family, I was happy to hear about municipal governments cooperating with the county to make our parks safer. It would have saved tax dollars and put police officers who would be able to respond to service calls more quickly in charge of safety for our 144 county parks. It was a good example of regional cooperation to boot.
For the County Board and Sheriff David A. Clarke Jr., however, it also had the unfortunate side effect of taking away some of their control over the parks. A corresponding budget cut meant the sheriff might have to choose between employing deputies or keeping his stable of parade ponies stocked. In defense of the status quo, they patched up their differences, became sudden allies and killed the proposal that had the support of nearly every municipality in Milwaukee County.
Or take the example of the barren strip of land formerly known as the Park East Freeway. Despite the county-owned portions being available for development during the single largest construction boom in a generation and a number of developments proposed, mature trees remain the only residents there - a telling sign in itself. But how can any developer build a housing or entertainment complex there when they have to negotiate with 18 or 19 supervisors who each have his or her own agenda?
It's for reasons like this and others that I've decided to support the legislation proposed by Sanfelippo. As a Democrat, I might not agree with him on many other issues, but this isn't about being a Democrat or a Republican. It's about putting Milwaukee County in a position to deliver the services we all pay for in the most effective manner possible. For over a decade, we've waited patiently on the promises of self-reform to materialize from the County Board, and it just hasn't happened.
That's why I believe now is the time to act in order to implement a smarter, more effective and more cost-efficient government. Meaningful reform is critical in protecting and enhancing the quality-of-life services that make this a great place to live and are key in helping attract and retain those "educated young professionals" who will help our region prosper for generations to come.
Dan Cody is board president of The Park People of Milwaukee County.

How does a person decide a life's career? Andrew Martinssen said, "I always wanted to do something, not just have a job." His father, who is a pastor in Los Angeles, Calif., gave him a few words to think about it. "When you have to do it you'll learn to like it."
Martinssen had it in mind to become a professional pianist. Then in an accident he broke his left elbow. Professional pianist? Maybe not.
