James Talarico on Texas officially banning THC: “Texans aren’t going to stop smoking weed and eating edibles because politicians in Austin say so. We are now telling full-grown adults how to live their lives. This is the nanny state at its worst; this is big government at its worst."

LAST WORDS FOR JERRY GARCIA By Robert Hunter Not the same thing as the more widely published Elegy, which is magnificent and worth your time to look up if you haven't seen it. From a privately published collection of Hunter's elegies and funeral poems for friends and family

Go naked in the world, 
Wind for your cloak and coverlet.
Whom the Gods love best
they reward with early death,
gather them into the sun,
reflect them in moonlight,
crown them with comets,
anoint them with shooting stars

Go naked to the Throne of Stars,
go as the stars go,
arrayed in their own
incandescent light. 

Go and our hearts go with you.
Return to the sourceof the soul
by way of the Sacred River,
royal road to the sea
where all shall be music
and dreams shall be dreams
no more, but visions
of the World's foundation
scattered among the stars. 

Dust shall be dust
and the voice of dust
shall be music,
pleasing to God
who sent it forth
in search of melody
to crown His silence
with eternal song
