...think there's going to be any massive amount of distressed assets. I believe that at the moment the most interesting opportunities in real estate are outside the U.S., where the level of growth is significant--a multiple of maybe two or three times the growth rate in the U.S. And so we've been looking at and investing in various countries around the world--particularly the emerging markets...

Nevada sends its pot users - possessing any amount - into rehab or treatment and imposes a $600 fee. Federal law calls for a year in jail and $1,000 for anyone caught with any amount.
