Marijuana
may be now legal now in Washington State, but there are rules. Officials there
released the new rules for selling pot last week. Last year, both Washington
and Colorado legalized marijuana for recreational use. And as other states
consider legalization, Washington's new regulations, if successful, could
become a template.
Randy
Simmons oversaw the drafting of the new rules. He described the process for
qualifying for a license by saying “that there’ll be three different types of
licenses: growers, processors and retailers.” Retailers will be limited the
number of stores to 334 stores. All these stores will then end up in a lottery
process.

After years of jokes, Ultimate Frisbee
players say they're finally getting some respect. For those who do not know the
game it is played seven-on-seven and teams score by catching the disc in an end
zone - kind of like football. And players make their own foul calls. Officials
only step in when an argument can't be resolved.
This year, for the first time ever, the
sport received provisional recognition from the International Olympic
Committee, and Ryland Barton that this weekend its national championship will
be broadcast live on ESPN3.

is wide speculation that Hunnam left under criticism from the extremely

Hollywood Reporter now with
Charlie Hunnam dropping out it is crunch time to find the next male lead and
start filming for the expected 2015 release date.
