California law legalized the recreational use of marijuana, but counties and cities can establish their own rules, particularly regarding how it is grown.

“To say there are no other crops that a farmer could grow in Half Moon Bay is ridiculous,” said Virginia Turezyn, who works at a business advisory firm and is running for city council on the same ballot as Measure GG. “They could grow Brussels sprouts. They can grow other stuff. . . . Everybody thinks [cannabis] is a cure-all and a panacea, but I’ve read tons of research that highlights tons of negative implications for the community, for crime, for youth and for the stench.”

Set the oven at 150C/gas mark 2. Line a baking sheet, measuring approximately 40cm x 28cm, with baking parchment. Put the plain flour in a mixing bowl, then add the rolled oats, 5g of sea salt, the sesame, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, then stir in the groundnut oil and 150ml of boiling water. Bring the ingredients together with your hands to form a ball of seed-freckled dough, then transfer to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

While the Crepe Shack’s menu is extensive (30-plus crepe variations, including "Private Selection," hence foie and caviar), I found the simpler, more traditional fillings easier to eat and thus more enjoyable. Maybe because I lived in France for a spell, the classic "Parisienne" ($9.95) stuffed with Black Foest ham, Gruyère and Swiss cheeses, and honey dijon mustard was a slam-dunk in the nostalgia department.

Travis Dickinson, the former executive chef at Clover, and Justin Curtis, the former front-of-the-house manager at Clover, teamed up to open a fast-casual but gourmet walk-up counter taco shop in downtown Spokane. The setting is fun and approachable, with a Day-of-the-Dead-style logo and murals. Tacos are served on 5-inch corn tortillas that are made in-house. Salsas and sauces – such as salsa verde, guacamole and a pumpkin seed salsa – are also made in-house. So are the tortilla chips, aguas frescas and horchata. Tacos include pork cheek carnitas, al pastor, lamb birria, carne asada, chicken, mushroom, chorizo, rockfish and (my favorite) octopus. Karina’s Bowl, named for Dickinson’s wife, features a choice of taco meat, beans, rice, guacamole, queso fresco, crema, pico de gallo and chips or tortillas. Margaritas are a specialty. So is the Watermelon Man, with tequila, lime, cider vinegar, watermelon, simple syrup and tajin, a chile-lime seasoning. 10 N. Post St. (509) 474-9618. cochinitotaqueria.com.

“We go to insane extremes,” said John Young of Jericho of his fellow growers. “It’s very addictive. It’s probably worse than nicotine.”

According to figures from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, sunflower seeds also contain substantial amounts of zinc and vitamin E. Both may help to protect skin cells.

“We cannot listen to the hypocrites or fearmongers who stand up here and tell the whole city that John . . . and myself and our families are drug dealers,” said Hollister, who is 42 and has two young children. “Drug dealers are the very trash that we are trying to keep out of our community, out of cannabis and away from children.”

Your liver is supposed to keep cleaning out toxins from your body to keep you healthy. If your liver fails, you may not live very long without a transplant. Therefore, it is important that you do everything to promote a healthy liver. Research has shown that zinc deficiency is a symptom in liver disease. Consuming watermelon seeds in the form of a tea is an excellent way to promote the liver health. You can also eat them as a snack. Since watermelon seeds contain large amounts of Zinc, they are perfect for the liver. Zinc protects the liver while also cleaning it of toxins. Antioxidants contained in watermelon seeds also promote liver health.
