California leads the way in at least four categories I can think of off the top of my head: Looming bankruptcy, the number of governors nicknamed "Moonbeam," the number of law-free federal circuit judges, and pot. I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege as to whether any of those things is related to any other.
As to pot, recreational use, though pushed hard in the 2010 elections, took a beating, losing by nearly 700,000 votes, or 7%. Thus, pot remains legal under California law only for allegedly (but not actually) well-regulated "medicinal" purposes.
I think someone currently looking for what must have been a large but not very reliable barge must have missed the memo.
