That’s the technical term for reclassifying it as a less dangerous drug, which would loosen some restrictions around it at the federal level. Currently, cannabis is a Schedule I drug, under the Controlled Substance Act, alongside drugs such as heroin and LSD. Rescheduling cannabis is a complicated process. Gruber shares five things you need to know about cannabis’ possible reclassification. For example, she asked, would you want to use cannabis for medical reasons, recreation or a mix of the two?

Eyes closed, she listened as the Mercato Partners cofounder Greg Warnock stepped into the living room of his houseboat. Before starting Mercato, Warnock bought a large stake in a chemical-distribution business and made his first few millions in the acquisition. For an aspiring investor in Silicon Slopes, Mercato Partners seemed the place to be. They say the complaints from female Mercato employees are emblematic of religious and social norms that place women in the home. Mercato Partners no longer promotes Savory Fund or Prelude on its website following an organizational shake-up.

TUPAC SHAKUR: The Authorized Biography, by Staci RobinsonLast month, after 27 years, a suspect was charged in the murder of Tupac Shakur. A firecracker and crusader as sharp as he was brusque, Tupac reached megastar status in 1996, when his fourth studio album, “All Eyez on Me,” went five times platinum. Often hailed as one of the greatest rappers of all time, he was a magnet for controversy during his life, and became a martyr for hip-hop militance after his death. Along with scores of interviews, the book is stuffed with photocopies of the rapper’s personal writings. As if tucked between the pages, these hand-scrawled poems, raps and musings provide windows into his mind.

But inside the walls at Ware, one of the state’s largest juvenile detention facilities, children have been trying to kill themselves with stunning regularity. In Louisiana, where brutal conditions prompted juvenile justice reform two decades ago, the system is again in crisis. Most Ware guards are Black, as well, though nearly all of its leaders are white, as are the local judge, sheriff and district attorney. “Of course, they still do.” In reports to the state, Ware’s nurses described carpet burns on children’s faces and head-to-toe bruises from restraints. In fact, of the four guards convicted of sexually assaulting children at Ware, Mr. Peace would be the only one imprisoned.
