Morgan English was sitting on the fire escape in her apartment, smoking weed, when she felt a pull toward a stationary bicycle. So she walked across the street to the gym. For the first time in her life, she said, exercise didn’t feel like punishment. latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…
“It wasn’t about ‘How many miles can I bike? How much resistance can I put on? Can I do this for an hour?’” she says. “It was just joyful. Like I was just moving my body and I was doing it for myself … and it truly unlocked a whole new world for me.” latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…
After that, English started clandestinely smoking weed in her car before exercise classes, certain her classmates could smell it on her. latimes.com/lifestyle/stor…

The petroleum industry argues the consequences of those policies and the state’s dependence on a small number of oil refineries drives up gasoline costs.
