The DEA has raided 4 marijuana dispensaries in Seattle despite the new law in Washington that made it legal.  Butane hash oil is on the market and its being sold at marijuana dispensaries.  Its used to extract the THC from the plants. Spanish train derailment.  Man in Australia got banned from gyms because he was taking photos of people in the gym and shaming them on Facebook.  Neuroscientists arrested for killing his wife with cyanide.  CIA effort to study the impact of climate change on national security.  Discussion of synonyms for Townsquare.

  1. They took the cell phones because they don’t want people recording the raids and putting it on youtube.

  2. To me, Town Square sounds a little bit too much like Townhall.com, which is like ground zero for all the conservative bloggers on the internet. You don’t really want to be associated with that.

    Actually, for a while I had the theory that Cenk intentionally chose something that sounded like Townhall to leach away some of their audience.

  3. I live in Washington. According to Washington State Law, marijuana is legal for recreational / personal use. As for distribution, there is a provision in the law to create a business license for distribution a la liquor stores. However… and that’s a big however… the State has NOT created this license yet! Any dispensary currently operating in the State of Washington are doing so outside of the law. Washington has until December 1, 2013 to create the license system. That is still 4 months away, which is likely why the Feds came in, *technically* Obama was abiding by State’s Rights.

  4. FYI The guy that started TED talks did a video on THNKR recently talking about how the French Revolution was caused by a volcano, where the ash in the stratosphere reduced crop yield and caused the poverty in France. So… before we dust our stratosphere, maybe we should plant more crops, etc? Just saying.

  5. Isn’t putting particles in the air going to hurt our ability to use solar power and increase our dependence on fossil fuels?

    Also, isn’t “Science will solve it” the argument Cenk gave about the overpopulation problem?

  6. If you’re going to do dumb shit, go ahead, just don’t take chances when you have hundreds of lives in your hands.

  7. you look at the weed in WA from wrong perspective. It is not issue of being conservative or progressive. USA is a puritanical country and that is the reason that things like legal drugs are an issue. As is sexting and such. And it is not that they don’t do those things themselves. Its that they don’t want it be done openly, thats all.

    1. Jealous that she will never go out with you. If you have nothing good to say, don’t say nothing at all.

    2. I like it. It reminds of the sexy/nerdy girl in those late-night B-movies.. she’ll whip off her glasses and shake her hair loose, and all of a sudden all the guys are turning to look at her.

    1. I totally disagree. Ben at least keeps the conversation moving, it would be exceptionally boring if there was nothing to argue against or points to address because everyone is in total agreement.

  8. You should do some research. As in google it. What the fuck, you sound like Fox News. Google: What is BHO?
