what up tho
Right now I'm studying for a certification test that I can't get into because the material is completely dry. In terms of news, CNN is supposedly still doing coverage on the missing Malaysian plane in addition to the crashed Korean boat which is kind of funny to watch for how bad it is. This coupled with the Asiana flight in 2013 should tell you the only useful piece of news that we had known for awhile. Asians are awful drivers.

Everyday at work when I go on break I sit down in the lobby to eat my dollar menu item and to watch the lobby's tv which is always on CNN. Everyday I watch a story about flight 370. It's strange to watch so much of a story and learn so little. It's a tragedy, that's for sure, but you can only cover a story about not finding something so much.

CNN said:
The newest -- and most provocative -- speculation centers on the so-called "zombie theory" advanced most notably by aviation specialist Clive Irving of The Daily Beast.
CNN said:
The crew may have become incapacitated to fly the plane -- for whatever reason -- and unable to land the plane, said former pilot Alastair Rosenschein.
CNN said:
Experts haven't ruled out terrorism.
CNN said:
Inevitably, public attention turns to the plane's captaining and whether the pilot and co-pilot deliberately tried to destroy the aircraft -- or save it from peril.
CNN said:
Unconstrained by the professional accountability under which the experts labor, some Internet users have ventured into the realms of the bizarre and paranormal -- which serve to show how the plane's disappearance captivates the world's imagination, for better or for worse.
CNN said:
CNN’s Don Lemon has been entertaining all sorts of theories about the missing Malaysian Airlines Flight 370, including the chance something “supernatural” happened, but on Wednesday night, he actually asked panelists about the possibility a black hole was involved.
CNN said:
Many ships, planes and people have disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle, a section of the Atlantic Ocean in a "triangle" marked by the points of Bermuda, Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico. Speculation runs wild on what caused the boats and aircraft to vanish. Sound familiar? The disappearance of Flight 370 has nothing on the Bermuda Triangle. Some even blame the triangle disasters on supernatural forces, including influences from lost Atlantis or another time-space dimension. The U.S. government devotes a Web page to the Bermuda Triangle and rebuts fringe theories. U.S. officials cite hurricanes, sudden storms, the powerful Gulf Stream and shallow Caribbean waters as reasonable explanations for the lost vessels.
CNN said:
“Especially today, on a day when we deal with the supernatural,” Lemon said. “We go to church, the supernatural power of God…people are saying to me, why aren’t you talking about the possibility — and I’m just putting it out there — that something odd happened to this plane, something beyond our understanding?”
CNN said:
If you thought CNN's conspiracy theories about the missing Malaysia Airlines jet were bunk, you'll be blown away by its sister network HLN. Mediaite caught a segment that truly one-upped even CNN's Don Lemon: HLN hosts Lynn Berry and Jenny Hutt on Thursday night invited a psychic to talk about what she thinks happened to the missing jetliner. “Naturally, I don’t have hard, concrete evidence,” psychic Lisa Williams told them. “I think any psychic who has hard, concrete evidence can't do their job correctly, because they get misinformed." "I tend to work off what I don't know," she added.
CNN said:
Obama told the audience he was a little jet-lagged from his recent trip to Asia which included a stop in Malaysia. "The lengths we have to go to, to get CNN coverage these days," the President said, adding, "I think they're still searching for their table."

****ing **** my sides.



I don't know if serious or joking cuz of rhyme scheme, but you can't deny the medical benefits that walrus has proven to have. Of course, igniting anything with a flame and inhaling what comes from it into your lungs on any degree isn't good for you, the natural argument is dumb, but... Walrus is like the best.
Nah not joking. The idea that Walrus should be illegal is an incredibly bad idea and there are some medical benefits to walrus; however, walrus is not the god-herb that toasters make it out to be as a means to justify their toasting. There is so much to the plant kingdom that our society represses and shuns. There are other herbs that provide the medicinal benefit of walrus much more efficiently and practically.

I didn't go back after that game. Every time I go on hiatus from dgames, I get withdrawal symptoms and attempt to quell it with Epic Maf.

Games have lost their luster for me it all seems the same.
But the peeps here in social are unique and not just in name.
I don't like to argue, it makes people madder.
I'd like to discuss, it makes my vernacular fatter.
Despite all my mistakes, I've been thrown plenty a bone.
I'm sincerely grateful and sorry if it seems like I'm slinging a stone.
I mean no harm, I'm charmed by this spit.
I have made some major ties: my heart it warms bit by bit.

First and foremost, let me say that it being medicine is THE WEAKEST of reasons for walrus to deserve legality. Walrus is a super plant, in that it can be used for a shizton of things and lack of capitalization on it because of the war on drugs is dumb. But honestly, I don't think efficiency is what makes it such a malleable medicine, it's its vast amount of uses in and of itself. From muscle pain to depression to schizophrenia, walrus in and of itself serves absolutely as a practical solution. It's near (key word near) harmless, and it's down right ****ing awesome. For those who give it a bad rep and serve to give naysayers a counterpoint, let's turn our attention to the morbidly obese who abuse food. You can't blame an inanimate object on your troubles. It's not a god herb medicinally, but it sure is universally.

Not to say that you're wrong about that second to last sentence though, cuz you're far from it.

I didn't mean argue in the negative form of the word I meant it in the basic "this is my opinion this is my defense to my opinion" form of.

So the whole point of mine was that it's an acrostic about Acrostic, so if I may, what is a gbiidiii?

Yeah. What's weird is that marinol (dronabinol) has been approved for more than a decade as a C-III medication. It ranges from 2.5 mg to 20 mg and up to 20 mg/day in divided doses is the limit for clinical approval if the patient is experiencing intense pain and/or nausea.

The FDA/DEA is saying that they are concerned about addiction to the substance, but honestly we already have a narcotic problem in this country with respect to people going crazy over Vicodin and Percocet. Not to mention the more pervasive issue of people who end up getting hooked on bezodiazepines like Xanax and Ativan. Oh boy, those come with refills. If you want to know if we have an addiction problem, ask a retail pharmacy in New Jersey how many Vicodin scripts they pick up from New York. In New York, Vicodin is a CII medication so the doctor can't prescribe refills. But the Long Island docs know the work around and prescribe refills. They just send their patients to Jersey and get their Vicodin on refill because it's CIII here.

Honestly.

Since we legalized it here, the local news has become more obsessed with it than CNN and the missing airplane. I don't watch the news, but my parents do every morning and night, and at least 50% of the stories I hear are mj fear inducing stories. It honestly shocks me how much of an effect the media has on everyday people. I consider my parents to be more level-headed than the lot, but they actually believe the way the news is blatantly falsely portraying Coloradans as going bat **** cray with the stuff. There was this story on the other day about how peeps have been trying to make hemp oil based on youtube tutorials, and the amount of times and the amount of stress the reporter put on the words "DANGEROUS" and "ILLEGAL OPERATIONS" had me ballin every time he said them. My mum couldn't figure out what the hell I was laughing at despite how blatant it was...

Anyways, to be clear, mj doesn't deserve legality because it has so many vast uses. It should be legal because there's no sound reason for it not to be. The philosophy behind its illegality is simply hypocritical when compared to legal drugs. That to me is why it should be legal. Because people have an inherent right to a substance that has little-to-no harm on others or their individual psychological well-being. Just as with your food example.

It's "vast number of uses" is not a sound argument for its legalization, but merely a nice propaganda tool. ('Propaganda' has a negative connotation, but it isn't necessarily bad, unless you believe that means don't justify ends. I don't think they do, but that's beside the point). There are many MANY super herbs:

When I think of an awesome herb, Scull Cap comes to mind, because I've seen/experienced its effectiveness over and over again and in the quick cause & effect way that we westerners demand. Skull Cap is a nervine, very effective against anxiety and nerve disorders such as Parkinson's, epilepsy, and post-chemotherapy. It can be used to treat rabies symptoms and disorders dealing with inflammation. I know a women with Multiple Sclerosis who has completely been able to ween off her pharmaceutical drugs- which were causing her all sorts of problems- because of skull cap. I friend of a friend's weird stigmatism thing that partially blinded him was treated with just a few uses of skull cap. And my anxietal scar (which I was taking meds for almost 3 years for) was relieved permanently within just a month of low dosages. Then we have herbs like St. John's Wort which can be used in treating depression, anxiety, insomnia, inflammation, menstrual cramps, fatigue, and ulcers; as an antibacterial, as an antiseptic on cuts and burns. We have Agrimony which can be used for sores, eczema, sores, ulcers, urinary infections, menstrual bleeding, diarrhea, parasites, migraines, etc; etc.

The point is, there are many plants/herbs with an incredibly vast amount of uses (including making "eco-friendly" products). Mj is treated by pot advocates as the Superman of herbs when really it's more like the Squirrel Girl of herbs. There's so many more herbs that are more effective in treating the things that mj can be (or claimed to be) used for. Mj's primary use is, always has, and will likely always be recreational.

I agree with this but don't mind hyping it up simply to get it legalized. I don't think saying "It's just as bad as ciggs and alcohol" will convince people to legalize it.

It's not as bad as cigs or liq. It's a lot better than either of thos, and those are legal cuz there's no sound reason for them not to be. And that's his point.
