• California should legalize psychedelics but learn from mistakes in marijuana regulation

  The decriminalization of psychedelics has become a mainstream policy issue.

There is a growing body of medical research showing psychedelic-assisted therapies can be tremendously effective at helping treat anxiety, severe depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse and mental illness.

  Eighteen months ago, I covered a large portion of my backyard with the seeds of white clover (Trifolium repens), also known as Dutch clover. This is the classic clover that grows in lawns and is erroneously considered to be a weed in some quarters. I am enormously pleased with my decision to grow clover even if initially I was skeptical. 
  I planted the seeds at the beginning of the fall since I knew clover seeds germinate best in cool weather. Yet, lo and behold, there was a heatwave immedi

  The smallest details of homelessness policy in California and other western states have been under the control of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals since April 2006, when the American Civil Liberties Union won a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles.

  I recently purchased a vanilla orchid from a local plant sale because the idea of growing one intrigued me. I’ve grown air plants (tillandsia) with some degree of success and have managed to keep a couple of carnivorous plants alive for several years, so I figured I was up to the challenge of growing orchids.
  Like a good gardener, I did a bit of research into orchids and their growth requirements and found out that, although their care is not complicated, it is different from what most hou

  An epistemic bubble is a network of information where some relevant information is missing – either because information is merely omitted or because some forces in the network are intentionally undermining dissenting opinion. For example, if you get all of your news from a single source, it’s very likely that there is a side to the debate that you’re not being exposed to. To some extent, we are all trapped in a bubble.

  Occupants of commercial real estate, also referred to as users or occupiers, fall into two categories: tenants or owners.
  Since both are tenants, I’ll draw a finer distinction, noting that one genre pays rent to an unrelated third party, the landlord, while the other pays rent to a related owner of the building.
  The most common in the second type is a real estate ownership structured as a limited liability company and the occupier a corporation.
