Medical Marijuana Dr. Oz Says Medical Marijuana Could Help Solve Opioid Addiction https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomangell/2017/09/19/dr-oz-says-medical-marijuana-could-help-solve-opioid-addiction/#227cd0054219 "Opponents of legalizing marijuana have long claimed that it is a "gateway drug" that leads to use of other substances. But one of the country's most famous physicians says the opposite might be true. "The real story is the hypocrisy around medical marijuana," Mehmet Oz -- better known as Dr. Oz -- said in an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday morning. "People think it's a gateway drug to narcotics. It may be the exit drug to get us out of the narcotic epidemic."
Oz has raised the profile of this issue, but it's been obvious for at least a decade to anyone who seriously looked at the data. Cannabis is more effective for some types of pain (particularly neuropathy) than opioids, and seems to act synergisticly with opioids -- allowing many pain patients to reduce or even eliminate their opioid use. And all, of course, without the addiction and overdose potential of opioids. Medically it's a no-brainer. America's drug policies are almost entirely irrational and unscientific.

This year, in my state. Politicians are not allowed to put out any information or to tell you what party they are affiliated with !? How crazy is that? You don't find out until you go to the voting booth!! Sounds like the Republicans are behind this kind of film flam.

You don't get to know the political party of local candidates, I don't think, but it shouldn't be that way as I want to always vote the straight democratic ticket

TRUMP shows his true colors again by giving credit to China (in his words) of "Taking Advantage Of Other Countries" He is now The King of the Dog Eat Dog philosophy that is destroying the human race. When it should be God Feed God ,as Jesus and all the good people the earth has ever known, have been trying to tell us for centuries to do, if we want to save ourselves from these never ending conflicts that are consuming us.

ROTFL LOL
Funny thoughts come to mind when seeing that, I'm afraid my thoughts were roaming a bit more around the presidential love of McDonalds and toilets, and the recent passing of the asteroid...sorry if TMI
What is going on with the president getting so bored he walks out of meetings and walks out on dignitaries?!

Black Lung Disease (Coal Mining)
Working Around Diesel Engines...
"People regularly exposed to diesel exhaust fumes at work can be up to 40 per cent more likely to develop lung cancer.Research shows that, in Britain, more than 650 people a year die of lung or bladder cancer caused by diesel fumes at work. Across Europe, it’s estimated that there are 5,700 new diesel cancer cases registered each year."

Is politics still a thing? Now that dignity, honor, integrity, honesty, credibility, morality and ethics don't matter anymore, do people still argue about sides?

Good article on diesel vehicles. Drove one for 18 years and remembering thinking that the black dust on everything was probably going into my lungs. You can really see and smell the black dust, riding behind a bus...if it's stopped and then starts...that cloud of black particulate is everywhere!!
Why even the first 3 letter of DIEsel are ominous...

YES, I worked for 9 years before retiring, moving trailers around for a large company. I was constantly exposed to passive diesel smoke. We had dozens of diesel truck tractors coming and going all of the time, and I was driving a diesel tractor myself. I always parked my car in the trailer lot. When I got off work and cleaned my windshield off with glass cleaner and a white paper towel, there was black carbon diesel soot all over the towel. I believe that a lot of skin cancers can be attributed to gas and DIEsel emissions.

The Second Amendment was adopted into the United States Constitution on December 15, 1791, along with the other amendments in the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment and the Bill of Rights were introduced into the United States Constitution by James Madison.
The most advanced weapon at that time would probably have been either the Kentucky long rifle, capable of firing two or three .60 balls per minute out to an accurate range of 300 yards, or the 6-pound field gun, which could fire a variety of projectiles 1500 yards, usually one shot every two minutes.
