    As you can see from this latest article in the Las Vegas Review-Journal this morning, there's probably no hope of passage this year.

    This is obv bad news in the short term, but I was surprised to see that Reid may have McConnell out of the way, which I think could be huge. I'm still optimistic about eventual legalization and regulation. Im less convinced this is going to be the cash cow the Vegas casinos think it will be.

    Until I hear the bill is 100% officially dead I will continue to assume this will occur soon and we are all doomed.

    It's a very controversial, caffeinated alcohol beverage which will probably be banned entirely soon because of deaths related to drinking it. Here's some more info about it:

    I think I hijacked my own thread, lol. But the loco controversy is an important topic, as well.

    LOL @ the Loco nonsense. I read an article on it the other day, it's common sense, you can die from alcohol poisoning from any liquor. Only reason people are dying is from stupidity, so therefore they probably didn't need to live anyways.

    Good. Its a horrible bill. The status quo is preferable to that monstrosity.
