In response to an extreme low pressure system that has remained stationary over Wyoming (USA) for three days, the state governor has called for Wyomingans to deflate their automobile and bicycle tires.1 This will increase air pressure and send the low pressure system “at least to Utah, and possibly as far as California,” where, scientists believe, it will affect the effect of medicinal marijuana by “altering the observed and theoretical rates of diffusion of psychoactive particulates.”2
