#psychedelics – “A California bill to legalize the possession of certain psychedelics and facilitated use of the substances is heading to the Senate floor under an accelerated process that is allowing it to skip further committee consideration.
The legislation from Sen. Scott Wiener (D) cleared the Appropriations Committee without a hearing after the chairman invoked a rule to send it to the floor because it would have a negligible fiscal impact, the sponsor told Marijuana Moment on Monday.”

#litigation – “In modern business, nearly every employee and executive has access to and uses a computer on a regular basis. In line with this, employers expect that work computers will be used solely for work, and that work email accounts are property of the employer, not the individual employee or officer.
However, a recent decision by the Court of Appeal of the State of California, Second Appellate District found that something more is required: Without a clear policy in place prohibiting the use of an employer’s email accounts for personal purposes and informing employees that their work email accounts are subject to review, an employer may be prohibited from doing so, and evidence collected in that manner may be inadmissible if a dispute arises.”
