White House drug czar says medical marijuana is dying out

Walters, the nation’s drug policy director, says municipalities have refrained from handing out more permits for medical marijuana dispensaries in their communities. He adds that communities have also held back from opening more such medical marijuana clubs since the decision.

In addition to six rich colors made with wood-based paper, Richlite offers a honey brown made with hemp-based paper. The particular hemp plant used — abaca — is a close relative of the banana plant, not of marijuana. The company has been active in the residential market just since 2000, but Richlite has been widely used for food preparation tables in restaurants for more than 40 years. With engineered stone countertops, known to most consumers by trademarks such as Zodiaq, Silestone and CaesarStone, chemistry transforms a mineral with great characteristics at the micro scale into one that makes great countertops. Crystallized silicon oxide, or quartz, is hard, durable and readily available nearly everywhere on the planet, but not in pieces large enough to make a countertop (or even a floor tile). But when it is pulverized, mixed with a small amount of polyester binder, heated and compressed, it becomes a hard man-made material with a wonderful luminosity.
