After twiddling our thumbs on Twitter for a couple of weeks, we’re now turning our fuzzy focus toward Facebook. You can find the page by searching FB for “California Pot News,” and because we’re friendly folks we’ll confirm your friend requests as soon as humanly possible.

You can find discussion on those subjects (and more) as well on our Web site’s user forums.
