I don't smoke, but I ate a pot brownie once. I should have just had a bite...
As long as you didn't inhale it, you should be fine.

November 30, 2022, 11:26:29 AMState officials expressed concern that Vanguard, a strong supporter of environmental, social, and governance investing, could use its control over the utility companies to pressure decisions, such as investments in green energy over fossil fuels, that could ultimately drive up electricity costs for consumers.
The Republican AGs argued that since Vanguard has expressed commitment to net-zero emissions, it is no longer a "passive" investor but instead attempting to push an agenda and exercise control over energy providers.
Americans should prepare for blackouts and higher energy prices.

The Flea Trap / Smoking Marijuana More Harmful to Lungs Than Cigarettes: Study
November 30, 2022, 11:20:05 AMThe study, published Tuesday in the peer-reviewed journal Radiology, found marijuana may be linked to an increased risk of emphysema over smoking tobacco alone.
The results come as states continue to legalize the drug and health experts, who are increasingly concerned with its impact on lung health, call for more research.
"It's no surprise to me," said Dr. David Kaminsky, a pulmonologist and professor of medicine at the University of Vermont, who is unaffiliated with the study. "A burning leaf is a burning leaf ... the lung doesn't know the difference if it's tobacco or marijuana."
Emphysema is a condition where the lungs' air sacs are damaged until they eventually rupture, according to the Mayo Clinic. It can cause a long-term cough, shortness of breath and wheezing, and it's irreversible once it develops.
The study looked at chest scans from 56 marijuana smokers, 33 tobacco-only smokers, and 57 nonsmokers taken from 2005 to 2020 in Canada.
Researchers found emphysema was more common in marijuana smokers than those who didn't smoke at all, and more common in marijuana smokers who were 50 and older than those who only smoked tobacco. They also found a certain subtype of emphysema that affects the outermost parts of the lung, called paraseptal emphysema, was more common in marijuana smokers compared to tobacco-only smokers, regardless of age.
The scans showed more instances of airway inflammation among marijuana smokers compared to people who smoked cigarettes only or not at all.
The average quantity of marijuana smoked by participants was about 1.85 grams per day, though less than half of the smokers specified their daily use. The study only included tobacco smokers who were 50 and older and smoked at least one pack per day for 25 years.
Due to the some of the study's limitations, health experts say it's difficult to directly compare tobacco and marijuana risks. Fifty out of the 56 marijuana smokers also smoked tobacco, and study authors did not account for the participants' other health conditions.
However, experts say the study does ring alarm bells and suggests smoking marijuana may not be totally risk-free. They argue it's important to continue researching the risks and benefits of inhaling marijuana as more states begin to legalize the drug.
"There's definitely a concern that we're going to see another generation of lung disease related to these behaviors," said Dr. Albert Rizzo, chief medical officer of the American Lung Association.

It's like this place has become a safe haven from demented forums / posters.

I never got involved with it. Some of those odd people have made their way here over the years. They were kind enough to share their insecurities with us.

I don't give two fucks about North America's horseshit no choice politics. However, I read the Republicans got 4,000,000 more votes than the Democrats in the midterms.
And despite that fact have you heard us republicans crying about some majority wins complex like the scum on the left does whenever the electoral college does not install their preferred candidate?
The GOP was gracious in defeat.

November 29, 2022, 06:47:11 PMOn one hand, approving oil drilling in Venezuela seemingly takes away from American oil companies, whose drilling and the revenue it generates would benefit the U.S. On the other hand, if Biden wants to stop oil drilling because of climate change, why is drilling in Venezuela acceptable? Why is it that President Biden would rather let U.S. companies drill for oil in Venezuela than here in the US? Does Biden think there's some benefit to the climate to drill oil in Venezuela and not here?

November 29, 2022, 06:40:27 PMCOVID lockdowns in China have clogged supply chains in the manufacturing stalwart, extending pandemic-era bottlenecks that have contributed to inflation. Meanwhile, the zero-COVID policy has stagnated the Chinese economy, hurting spending among Chinese customers and in turn pummeling U.S companies that depend on it.
