  1. In the USA, Canada & elsewhere around the world cannabis laws have been relaxed or even changed over the past few years. Organizations in the USA, like NORML & ASA (Americans For Safe Access) for example are leading the way for the plant to be mainstream as state & federal governments continue changing laws which I believe are (and always have been archaic and wrong). 
     

    What are your thoughts on Cannabis prohibition?

  2. These people are the American Taliban. And fortunately for us they’re incredibly stupid & willfully ignorant. Let’s hope lawmakers uphold the law instead of ignoring it. If the people who stormed The Capitol building were darker, there’d have been a whole ‘nuther outcome. The way rethuglicans & trumpublicans are acting with their “unity” BS is funny when you think of the energy they put into Benghazi & Clinton’s BJ. Rand Paul doesn’t even want to have an impeachment trial in the Senate, along with 45 other Senators🤬

    Because normally the president isn't a complete corrupt idiot. However, I think Michael Moore said Clinton issued some pardons that were questionable.

    Good answer. And most Presidents aren’t orange sleazebag criminals either. “Questionable pardons” still ain’t on Orange Judas’ level of crime. I’d rather we have a hundred Clinton’s than even a 1/2 a stump. 

  4. BLOTUS basically shot himself in the foot with this seditious act. He’s a pariah. NYC’s Mayor will cancel various contracts with the trump org which brings in $17 million yearly. Douche bank cut him off too. The PGA ending its relationship with BLOTUS’ golf courses. He’s basically toast. 

    Even cut from his cameo in Home Alone. 
     

    ....only his idiot base will love him now

    Anti-parasitic drug kills COVID-19 in lab

    1 hour ago

    An anti-parasitic drug available throughout the world has been found to kill COVID-19 in the lab within 48 hours.

    A Monash University-led study has shown a single dose of the drug Ivermectin could stop the SARS-CoV-2 virus growing in cell culture.

    "We found that even a single dose could essentially remove all viral RNA (effectively removed all genetic material of the virus) by 48 hours and that even at 24 hours there was a really significant reduction in it," Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute's Dr Kylie Wagstaff said on Friday.

    While it's not known how Ivermectin works on the virus, the drug likely stops the virus dampening the host cells' ability to clear it.

    The next step is for scientists to determine the correct human dosage, to make sure the level used in vitro is safe for humans.

    "In times when we're having a global pandemic and there isn't an approved treatment, if we had a compound that was already available around the world then that might help people sooner," Dr Wagstaff said.

    "Realistically it's going to be a while before a vaccine is broadly available."

    Before Ivermectin can be used to combat coronavirus, funding is needed to get it to pre-clinical testing and clinical trials.

    Ivermectin is an FDA-approved anti-parasitic drug also shown to be effective in vitro against viruses including HIV, dengue and influenza.

    The study is the joint work of Monash Biomedicine Discovery Institute and the Peter Doherty Institute of Infection and Immunity.

    The study findings have been published in Antiviral Research.

    Sounds promising. I’ve also read about those who have fully recovered from COVID-19 have antibodies that could be harvested and the plasma used to assist patients’ immune response. Let’s hope these treatments work! 🙏🏻

    I've heard officials throw out dates like July, August. There is no way a virus this contagious just goes away and we go back to normal any time soon. They've spoken about a return of it in winter. If that happens, this all starts over again. Hopefully, everybody does it right if we have round 2. 

    These churches that insist on having mass gatherings is so irresponsible. Actually, that is not a strong enough word. It is flat out dangerous and will lead to deaths and sickness. I don't understand why they must all gather. We all want to get out of our houses but they are using church as a convenient excuse. They should feel the wrath of everybody since they will infect others leading to us being isolated even longer.

    This is their mentality (or lack thereof):

     
    I call them “Evilgelicals”.

    This is disgusting. I worked for DoD-Navy as a civilian in the early 1980s. The Navy culture is close and a Good Capitan will always do his utmost to protect his crew. Captain Crozier was a Good Capitan. I respect the heck out of him. He prolly knew what was gonna happen. Proves yet again, BLOTUS is a bad prezident.

    It's difficult to be optimistic but for me it's the only way to cope :lol:. That's why I thought in February that Corona was a flu and we shouldn't overreact. I hope I'm not so wrong this time!!!!!

    It’s okay to be wrong sometimes. That’s how we learn. I’m wrong a lot, but try to learn from my mistakes. Too bad some countries don’t learn from their mistakes and keep repeating them over and over. 
     

    Stay safe. 🙏🏻

    Every person on the front lines- janitors, grocery store workers, doctors, nurses, any one in health care, should have their pay doubled or tripled and given free healthcare. 

    I hate when I hear people on TV say this is not a time to place blame but it is. Trump was told point blank this was going to happen, the virus was bad, highly contagious and there would be a major disruption to life. What does he do in return- doesn't protect the citizens he is sworn to protect. Instead, he lies, says the flu is worse, says it is a hoax, says cases will be zero within weeks, canceled (although prior to the virus) Obama's pandemic response team, CONTINUES to lie, spread misinformation, BRAG about his ratings, yell at and call reporters childish, elementary level names, traffic in divisiveness, tells Governors who are fighting for their citizens who are dying and sick to be nice or else, and the list goes on and on. Meanwhile, people are dying, sick, losing their jobs, security, minds. This has to be the biggest scandal, tragedy in American history aside from the Civil War. Yet our expectations are sooooooooo low for Trump, ANYTHING he does that is remotely human is praised to the heavens. 

    So many states, mostly run by Republicans, were either late in calling for their states to be shut down or flat out refusing to do so because they want to impress Trump. Meanwhile, the rest of us, under most Democratic Governors, have been shut in where and the results are so far positive. However, If those Republican Gov states do not shut down soon, the rest of us will have to be shut down longer because of this.They are prolonging this for all of us. 

    Typing this all out is surreal. I have read and reread it and it is hard to process this is real. I never imagined we would have a leader, or should I say "leader", who has acted like this in a time of such tragedy and suffering the likes of which no one alive has experienced. The entire Republican party is complicit. Fingers crossed they are wiped out of most offices come election time because if they are not, lessons will never get learned. 

     

    Totally agree. I have heard people around here (but not me!) think “tRump is doing the best he can for our country....” NO. NO HE’S  NOT!  

    This is what too much evangelicalism there is and not enough common sense and sheep-less thinking.
