Issue: March 13, 2014
Hi everybody,
In recent years, voter attitudes about marijuana have consistently
leaned more toward increased legalization. But here's a fun fact:
Medical marijuana was briefly legal in Nevada in the late 1970s and
'80s. Our intrepid news editor Dennis Myers dives into the history.
Also in this week's issue, our theater critic, Jessica Santina,
reviews The Lyons, a black comedy at Bruka Theatre, and our movie
critic, Bob Grimm, reviews the new 300 sequel. One of them liked what
they saw; the other did not. Take a look inside to find out who was
happy and who was Grimm.
And our wise and wiseass columnist Bruce van Dyke offers his take on
the current crisis in the Ukraine.
As always, be sure to pick up a newsprint copy of the paper for
exclusive columns, cartoons and rolling paper.
Thanks for reading! If not for you, we'd have nothing but stems and seeds.
