The House Oversight and Accountability Committee moved forward with a bill that would expand federal employment opportunities for people who used cannabis at some point in their lives.The Cannabis Users’ Restoration of Eligibility Act passed the committee in a 30-14 vote. It would allow federal agencies to consider applicants with a prior history of cannabis use when they are making employment and security clearance decisions. NORML, the nation’s oldest cannabis reform organization, praised the move by Congress. “Applicants for federal employment and security clearances should not be unfairly disqualified solely for their past cannabis use,” NORML’s Political Director Morgan Fox said. “While it is disappointing that the committee did not see fit to stop federal agencies from discriminating against those responsible adults and patients who are current consumers of cannabis, this legislation will nonetheless open up new opportunities to millions of Americans, increase the talent pool ...

For this week’s Women in Business issue, we reached out to the ladies of the cannabis industry to see what Mary Jane Rathbun, more famously known as Brownie Mary, means to them. While Brownie Mary was most famously an activist providing thousands of brownies for San Francisco’s AIDS community in the 1980s and 1990s, it is important not to disenfranchise the fact she was one of the early female entrepreneurs of the game, too. After decades as a waitress, she started selling brownies in the 1970s to make an extra buck. She would go on to help a lot of people, too, but for the sake of this piece we were celebrating the business side of things. These days, Lauren McNaughton is the director of brand marketing for Kiva and Lost Farms. In a past life, she helped build one of the largest infused baked goods companies California will ever see, Korova.

I can’t quite recall the time of year. I was able to get on the guest list through my then boyfriend and I took my sisters with me. We stood in the VIP section – an entire giant roped off area with only the three of us. People kept trying to get us kicked out or offer us money to come stand with us. It was hysterical. We were dancing and singing and having an amazing time.Spoon is seriously the best live show. I normally don’t care much about light shows because I’m too busy trying not to have a panic attack from them, but theirs was truly cool to witness. All their songs are catchy as hell and they are so dialed in. It was the last really good time I got to have with both my sisters together and I’ll never forget it.Lydia Loveless Digs Spoon: Lydia Loveless’ Nothing’s Gon...
