It's called, simply, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ridecabin.com/\">Cabin\u003c/a>. It's an overnight service — like a red-eye — designed for people who love going places, but hate being in transit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last weekend, I gave it a try. My goal was to spend all day Sunday enjoying beautiful, warm, sunny Southern California, then get to work in Northern California by 8 a.m. Monday — feeling well rested, not a train wreck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part one went smoothly: I had a bike ride along the beach with a buddy, a hearty Persian dinner, and even caught that new movie \u003cem>Dunkirk\u003c/em> (not for the faint of heart).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part 2 starts at 11 p.m., when I board my Cabin in Santa Monica. The ground floor has table seating, kind of like the dining car in a train. The upper level, however, is like nothing I've ever seen before. On each side of the walkway, there are beds — several across, and stacked in two like bunk beds, only built into the bus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11610136\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11610136\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/aarti-bus-pod2-11a7d59fbde913e39b49382f4c2b9d794512a10c-800x599.jpg\" alt=\"NPR's Aarti Shahani tries one of the sleeping pods aboard a Cabin bus traveling from Santa Monica to San Francisco.\" width=\"800\" height=\"599\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/aarti-bus-pod2-11a7d59fbde913e39b49382f4c2b9d794512a10c-800x599.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/aarti-bus-pod2-11a7d59fbde913e39b49382f4c2b9d794512a10c-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/aarti-bus-pod2-11a7d59fbde913e39b49382f4c2b9d794512a10c-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/aarti-bus-pod2-11a7d59fbde913e39b49382f4c2b9d794512a10c-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/aarti-bus-pod2-11a7d59fbde913e39b49382f4c2b9d794512a10c-520x390.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/08/aarti-bus-pod2-11a7d59fbde913e39b49382f4c2b9d794512a10c.jpg 829w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">NPR's Aarti Shahani tries one of the sleeping pods aboard a Cabin bus traveling from Santa Monica to San Francisco. \u003ccite>(Ashkan Soltani)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>They're called pods, and crawling into one is jarring.

And he pointed out that some of the tax dollars generated by legal marijuana sales will go toward cracking down on illicit operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials said they are encouraging marijuana businesses to follow the rules and become part of the regulated system, while also planning how to go after those that remain in the black market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are developing a formal complaint system that will allow anyone to report illegal grows or other concerns, and then we will forward those potential issues to the appropriate (law enforcement) agencies,” said Rebecca Forée, a spokeswoman for the state’s cannabis cultivation licensing office within the Department of Food and Agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"v72XkWtzInTP1DkhWg9YprnrfWehqw0u\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lori Ajax, chief of the state’s Bureau of Cannabis Control, said her agency is trying to entice marijuana businesses to go legit by crafting rules that aren’t too difficult for them to live by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s making sure those people who want to be in the regulated market, that we have made a path for them.

But, “at the end of the day, a lot of businesses in general may stay outside of the regulated market.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means that despite the passage of Proposition 64, California cops will still have plenty of work going after illicit cannabis operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’re going to see robust enforcement efforts to prevent California from becoming the staging area for drug trafficking nationwide,” said John Lovell, a lobbyist for the California Narcotics Officers' Association, which opposed the ballot measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokesman for the Proposition 64 campaign said the measure wasn’t intended to abolish all criminalization of marijuana but instead to allow opportunities for “operators who want to be responsible and compliant.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one ever promised to completely eliminate the black market—that’s like promising security cameras will completely eliminate shoplifting—but it will be significantly reduced,” spokesman Jason Kinney said by email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the state’s estimates of marijuana supply and demand are unreliable because the legal marketplace created by Proposition 64 won’t begin to roll out until next year. And he pointed out that some of the tax dollars generated by legal marijuana sales will go toward cracking down on illicit operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials said they are encouraging marijuana businesses to follow the rules and become part of the regulated system, while also planning how to go after those that remain in the black market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are developing a formal complaint system that will allow anyone to report illegal grows or other concerns, and then we will forward those potential issues to the appropriate (law enforcement) agencies,” said Rebecca Forée, a spokeswoman for the state’s cannabis cultivation licensing office within the Department of Food and Agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lori Ajax, chief of the state’s Bureau of Cannabis Control, said her agency is trying to entice marijuana businesses to go legit by crafting rules that aren’t too difficult for them to live by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s making sure those people who want to be in the regulated market, that we have made a path for them.

"content": "\u003cp>Way back at the start of the Trump presidency, the president created a stir with his first calls to leaders of U.S. allies. It was reported that he had \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/no-gday-mate-on-call-with-australian-pm-trump-badgers-and-brags/2017/02/01/88a3bfb0-e8bf-11e6-80c2-30e57e57e05d_story.html?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.e8657796c39d\">angrily cut off a call\u003c/a> with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and, in a call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, threatened to send military personnel to Mexico to deal with “bad hombres” (the Mexican government disputed this).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, new details of the conversations have emerged, via \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/you-cannot-say-that-to-the-press-trump-urged-mexican-president-to-end-his-public-defiance-on-border-wall-transcript-reveals/2017/08/03/0c2c0a4e-7610-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html?pushid=598322434f04072800000003&tid=notifi_push_breaking-news&utm_term=.8070e31224c8\">transcripts obtained by the Washington Post\u003c/a>, and the excerpts printed by the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> show a president cajoling and heatedly arguing with the two foreign leaders. The transcripts do not stray from the initial reporting on the calls — as in January, they show a president fixated on immigration and trying to burnish his image — but they provide some new insights into the president’s pugilistic demeanor in dealing with even nations that have good relations with the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is, for now, being reticent about the leaked transcripts. National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton told NPR that he “can’t confirm or deny the authenticity of allegedly leaked classified documents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saying his border wall is the “least important” topic\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transcripts say that Trump told Peña Nieto that the border wall is “\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/politics/australia-mexico-transcripts/?utm_term=.8e82c7ee7629\">the least important thing\u003c/a> we are talking about, but politically this might be the most important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a startling admission from a president who at rallies led his supporters in chants of “build the wall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the wall was important to his base; while it has not been popular nationally — a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/02/24/most-americans-continue-to-oppose-u-s-border-wall-doubt-mexico-would-pay-for-it/\">February poll\u003c/a> from the Pew Research Center found that 62 percent of Americans oppose such a wall — it polled well among conservative Republicans in that poll, with 80 percent approving.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Asking Peña Nieto to stop talking about the wall\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump repeatedly assured his supporters that Mexico would pay for the border wall. Peña Nieto disagreed; on Jan. 25, the Mexican president told his nation in a televised address that they “would not pay” for the wall, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-trailguide-updates-mexican-president-rejects-trump-s-1485404143-htmlstory.html\">according to the L.A. Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the call with Peña Nieto on Jan. 27, Trump asked him to knock it off: “If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also said that he had to push for Mexico to pay for the wall because he had promised it for so long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to have Mexico pay for the wall — I have to,” he said. “I have been talking about it for a two-year period.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other quotes reported by the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> indicate that Trump was vague about how exactly the funding of the border wall would work. He said that the funding for it “will work out in the formula somehow” and that it would “come out in the wash,” according to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the wall itself, Peña Nieto stood firm. “My position has been and will continue to be very firm, saying that Mexico cannot pay for the wall,” he said. However, the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> also writes that he eventually relented on talking about the wall, agreeing to “stop talking about the wall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Jan. 27 statement, the White House had acknowledged the two presidents’ clashing opinions on the topic of the wall: “With respect to payment for the border wall, both presidents recognize their clear and very public differences of positions on this issue but have agreed to work these differences out as part of a comprehensive discussion on all aspects of the bilateral relationship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Calling New Hampshire a “drug-infested den”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump bemoaned America’s drug problem to Peña Nieto, then cited it as a reason for what he believed to be his success in New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a massive drug problem where kids are becoming addicted to drugs because the drugs are being sold for less money than candy,” he said. “I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Hampshire is one of the epicenters of the current U.S. drug crisis. In 2015, New Hampshire had the second-highest rate of drug overdose deaths in the nation, at 34.3 per 100,000 people, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/statedeaths.html\">according to the CDC\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump did not win New Hampshire in the general election. Hillary Clinton did. He did, however, win it in the Republican primaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heroin does come into the U.S. across the U.S.-Mexico border; as \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/sep/13/donald-trump/trump-right-heroin-coming-through-southern-border/\">Politifact noted in September\u003c/a>, Mexico is the source for a substantial portion of the heroin entering the U.S. In 2012, 45 percent of the heroin coming into the U.S. came from Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting furious with Malcolm Turnbull\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, it was reported that Trump and Turnbull had argued about an Obama-era deal to accept refugees. The Obama administration \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-38837263\">had agreed to accept\u003c/a> around 1,200 refugees being held on islands near Australia, and Australia would accept refugees from Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump vehemently pushed against the deal, according to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is going to kill me,” he said to Turnbull. “I am the world’s greatest person that does not want to let people into the country. And now I am agreeing to take 2,000 people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believed that the refugees could be dangerous, and even potential terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guarantee you they are bad. That is why they are in prison right now. They are not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people,” he said. (The \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> surmised that “local milk people” may be a reference to dairy farmers.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president later added that the refugees might “become the Boston bomber in five years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the Trump administration has seemed to be sticking with the deal. In April, during a visit to Australia, Vice President Mike Pence said that the administration — albeit unenthusiastically — would accept the refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“President Trump has made it clear that we’ll honor the agreement — that doesn’t mean we admire the agreement,” \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/story/2017/04/22/mike-pence-australia-refugee-deal-237476\">he said\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

It was reported that he had \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/no-gday-mate-on-call-with-australian-pm-trump-badgers-and-brags/2017/02/01/88a3bfb0-e8bf-11e6-80c2-30e57e57e05d_story.html?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.e8657796c39d\">angrily cut off a call\u003c/a> with Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and, in a call with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, threatened to send military personnel to Mexico to deal with “bad hombres” (the Mexican government disputed this).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, new details of the conversations have emerged, via \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/you-cannot-say-that-to-the-press-trump-urged-mexican-president-to-end-his-public-defiance-on-border-wall-transcript-reveals/2017/08/03/0c2c0a4e-7610-11e7-8f39-eeb7d3a2d304_story.html?pushid=598322434f04072800000003&tid=notifi_push_breaking-news&utm_term=.8070e31224c8\">transcripts obtained by the Washington Post\u003c/a>, and the excerpts printed by the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> show a president cajoling and heatedly arguing with the two foreign leaders. The transcripts do not stray from the initial reporting on the calls — as in January, they show a president fixated on immigration and trying to burnish his image — but they provide some new insights into the president’s pugilistic demeanor in dealing with even nations that have good relations with the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration is, for now, being reticent about the leaked transcripts. National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton told NPR that he “can’t confirm or deny the authenticity of allegedly leaked classified documents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are highlights:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Saying his border wall is the “least important” topic\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Peña Nieto disagreed; on Jan. 25, the Mexican president told his nation in a televised address that they “would not pay” for the wall, \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/politics/washington/la-na-trailguide-updates-mexican-president-rejects-trump-s-1485404143-htmlstory.html\">according to the L.A. Times\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the call with Peña Nieto on Jan. 27, Trump asked him to knock it off: “If you are going to say that Mexico is not going to pay for the wall, then I do not want to meet with you guys anymore because I cannot live with that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also said that he had to push for Mexico to pay for the wall because he had promised it for so long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have to have Mexico pay for the wall — I have to,” he said. “I have been talking about it for a two-year period.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other quotes reported by the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> indicate that Trump was vague about how exactly the funding of the border wall would work. He said that the funding for it “will work out in the formula somehow” and that it would “come out in the wash,” according to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the wall itself, Peña Nieto stood firm. “My position has been and will continue to be very firm, saying that Mexico cannot pay for the wall,” he said. However, the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> also writes that he eventually relented on talking about the wall, agreeing to “stop talking about the wall.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a Jan. 27 statement, the White House had acknowledged the two presidents’ clashing opinions on the topic of the wall: “With respect to payment for the border wall, both presidents recognize their clear and very public differences of positions on this issue but have agreed to work these differences out as part of a comprehensive discussion on all aspects of the bilateral relationship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Calling New Hampshire a “drug-infested den”\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump bemoaned America’s drug problem to Peña Nieto, then cited it as a reason for what he believed to be his success in New Hampshire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a massive drug problem where kids are becoming addicted to drugs because the drugs are being sold for less money than candy,” he said. “I won New Hampshire because New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New Hampshire is one of the epicenters of the current U.S. drug crisis. In 2015, New Hampshire had the second-highest rate of drug overdose deaths in the nation, at 34.3 per 100,000 people, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/data/statedeaths.html\">according to the CDC\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump did not win New Hampshire in the general election. Hillary Clinton did. He did, however, win it in the Republican primaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heroin does come into the U.S. across the U.S.-Mexico border; as \u003ca href=\"http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/sep/13/donald-trump/trump-right-heroin-coming-through-southern-border/\">Politifact noted in September\u003c/a>, Mexico is the source for a substantial portion of the heroin entering the U.S. In 2012, 45 percent of the heroin coming into the U.S. came from Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Getting furious with Malcolm Turnbull\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, it was reported that Trump and Turnbull had argued about an Obama-era deal to accept refugees. The Obama administration \u003ca href=\"http://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-38837263\">had agreed to accept\u003c/a> around 1,200 refugees being held on islands near Australia, and Australia would accept refugees from Central America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump vehemently pushed against the deal, according to the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is going to kill me,” he said to Turnbull. “I am the world’s greatest person that does not want to let people into the country. And now I am agreeing to take 2,000 people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He believed that the refugees could be dangerous, and even potential terrorists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I guarantee you they are bad. That is why they are in prison right now. They are not going to be wonderful people who go on to work for the local milk people,” he said. (The \u003cem>Post\u003c/em> surmised that “local milk people” may be a reference to dairy farmers.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president later added that the refugees might “become the Boston bomber in five years.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, the Trump administration has seemed to be sticking with the deal. In April, during a visit to Australia, Vice President Mike Pence said that the administration — albeit unenthusiastically — would accept the refugees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
