Happy Wednesday, dear readers!

Halloween is coming up soon, and as we all know, there is nothing scarier than workers’ compensation! OOOOOOO … penalties… liens… OOOoooOOOooo!

Spooky, indeed, dear readers.

BUT, before you go a trickin’ and a treatin’ you may want to swing by Walnut Creek on Friday, October 30, 2015.

The California Self-Insurers Association is hosting its Fall Conference at the Walnut Creek Marriott and your humble blogger will be in attendance (now is your chance to finally vent about all the puns you’ve been forced to endure in your e-mail in box).

I’ve attended this one a few times in the past and it never disappoints – the speakers are always experienced with the substantive material and talented in their delivery; the subjects are current and interesting; and the bloggers in attendance are always as humble as humble goes.

Phil Millhollon, CSIA Executive President, says that one of the topics attendees can expect to be thoroughly discussed will be on an issue that’s been growing like a “weed” in California and the United States… medicinal marijuana (see what I did there? The kids call Marijuana “weed,” so…)

Marijuana has been a growing issue in California – federally illegal, but allowable on the state-side in certain circumstances.  Reimburseable under workers’ compensation or no?

If you’re going to be around, please stop by and say hello.
