Besides therapy, she’s talking a lot to high school students just like her, only a year ago.
”Instead of sitting here feeling sorry for myself I want to get out there and help others because I wish someone would have helped me. I wish someone would’ve pulled me out of the car, but we all make decisions and we live with them, all of us live with them everyday of our lives,” said Hill.
Medicinal Pot Not Affecting Mexican Drug Wars
The bloody battles continue south of the borders.
Fifteen years after voters approved Proposition 215, permitting medicinal marijuana use, strong varieties like those produced in Northern California’s so-called Emerald Triangle dominate the market. Weaker Mexican pot, once the weed of choice for the 1950s Beat generation and the 1960s flower children, is less popular, according to drug policy experts and law enforcement officials.
But overall, sales of Mexican marijuana continue to earn that nation’s violent drug cartels as much as $2 billion a year.
No Criminal Charges Against Le Normandie Owners
How about civil charges?
The Monterey County District Attorney’s Office told The Pine Cone that it has dropped its criminal investigation into Christine and Francis Richard over allegations — by people in at least three California counties — the French couple solicited loans from them but didn’t pay them back.
In February 2010, The Pine Cone interviewed numerous former customers of the Richards who said the couple asked them for loans — as much as $15,000, according to one patron.
But after giving them money, the customers alleged the Richards never repaid them, even after making promises to do so. Several more people contacted The Pine Cone after the article was published and made similar allegations.
Seaside Woman Drives Into Insurance Office
And the office does not have a drive-through option.
A woman driving a Subaru SUV crashed straight through the front wall of a Pacific Grove insurance office Wednesday afternoon but miraculously managed to avoid killing or seriously injuring anyone.
At about 1:30 p.m., Galina Griffiths of Seaside was heading West on Lighthouse Avenue when she attempted to park her Subaru Forester in a diagonal parking space in front of the Tom McKinney State Farm Insurance office at 716 Lighthouse Ave.
It’s not clear what caused the Subaru to travel into the office, but Figueroa said some drivers use their left foot to brake while using their right foot to control the accelerator.

Pot Shop In Contempt?
Assistant City Manager Fred Cohn said the city filed notice Tuesday requesting the court ask MyCaregiver “to explain why it should not be held in contempt.”
Friday’s search, he said, turned up marijuana and documents indicating marijuana transactions were taking place at the co-op at 554 Lighthouse Ave.
Attorney Richard Rosen, who represents MyCaregiver co-founder Jhonrico Carr-Nshimba, said the city brought the contempt action “based on small technicalities about zoning and business licenses. It is completely ignoring the big issue, which is why is it legal everywhere else in California except Monterey?”
Peter B’s Patio Scene Of Robbery
Police said the two were approached shortly before 6 p.m. as they sat in the patio of Peter B’s restaurant, 1 Portola Plaza, by a man who threatened them with a knife and demanded their wallets, then ran.

Police said they conducted a lengthy investigation with the help of a private investigator of the suspected theft of jewelry, cash and credit card information from the woman at the Pacific Grove senior community.

Pot Users Depressed Over Loss Of Pot Pusher
Sometimes it seems that the “medicine” is used primarily to treat the effects from the lack of “medicine”.
On Friday night, a woman was spotted going inside MyCaregiver and admits this isn’t her first time.
“I do have a medical marijuana card,” says client. “I probably go here once every week.”
The woman didn’t want Central Coast News to use her name, but said for the past year, she bought medical marijuana at the dispensary to treat anxiety and depression.
Lighthouse Avenue Pot Pushers Plucked
Fred Cohn gets his man.
Cohn said Carr-Nshimba and at least one other MyCaregiver employee were on the premises at 554 Lighthouse Ave. when city code compliance coordinator David Wright and a police escort arrived, but refused to allow entry. After police forced their way inside, it took about an hour to search the premises, according to Cohn. There were no arrests.
The city sued MyCaregiver and Carr-Nshimba in February 2010, arguing that the operation violated the city’s zoning laws because they do not specifically accommodate medical marijuana facilities.
Judge Robert O’Farrell granted a temporary injunction against the operation last year, agreeing with the city that Carr-Nshimba had not been forthright on his business application by describing it as a “health care cooperative,” and said he would be distributing “herbal remedies.”
