I just despise fake science, such as Planty has filled this thread with. Unfortunately science education has been circling in the bowl for decades & most people don't have even the most basic comprehension of scientific method, hence propoganda masquerading as science apparently works.

You're tweeking my conscience there. I worked in computer design for 37 years, all the way from "mainframes" with ferrite core memory through the PC age to the mobile devices. The computers that are my work product basicly count money, and make online commerce possible. The result is the internet that we have, and nobody planned it, it just developed on it's own. But if the truth be known, there are lots of people making lots of money online, and if that were not true, there would not be a worldwide network with public access. So I share the blame with several thousand other computer engineers worldwide.

The internet isn't to blame for failure in the education system. Scientific method is not that hard to understand or explain. The general lack of such understanding creates the market for such fake science. If the internet didn't exist, we would still get the same bullcrap, from newspapers & TV.

Constellation Breaks Pot Taboo, Opens Door for Mainstream Brands

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')img]https://i3.aroq.com/3/constellation_0.jpg[/img]

Beer and weed could be a good mix for companies that sell both.

The decision by Corona beer seller Constellation Brands Inc. to buy a minority stake in a Canadian pot company marked the first major foray of an alcohol brand into the nascent weed industry. With the taboo now broken, other purveyors of beer, wine and spirits may look for similar opportunities in the expanding world of legal pot.

Brewers and distillers such as Molson Coors Brewing Co., Anheuser-Busch InBev NV, Diageo Plc and Pernod Ricard SA may already be examining the marijuana space, according to beverage-industry analysts. Constellation’s move only intensifies the competitive pressure.

“There’s a threat on the horizon that if they don’t get into the game, they’re going to be left behind,” said Jason Zandberg, an analyst at PI Financial in Vancouver.

Marijuana users ---stop giving your babies marijuana---it can be fatal for babies

Your average consumer of the devil's lettuce doesn't have good judgment, so I'm not surprised that they killed their child.

Heavy marijuana use linked to weird new neurological disease called Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. Too much marijuana use apparently causes damage to the area of the brain around the hypothalamus. People with this brain disease can't stop convulsive vomiting and screaming, i.e. "scromiting."

People who smoke too much pot showing up in hospitals "scromiting."

Researchers are warning that constant and long-term use of marijuana can lead to “scromiting,” a term used to describe people compulsively screaming and vomiting at the same time.

Roneet Lev, director of operations at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego, told the NBC affiliate there that he personally sees at least one patient a day with the condition.

The only known cure for Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome is to stop smoking marijuana.


Mr. Natural never warned us that pot causes convulsive vomiting and screaming

Peter!

How are you this wonderful day?

You must know some people who smoke pot regularly there in California? In fact, I think you used to personally smoke quite a bit of pot before you quit.

Do you personally know anyone who has smoked too much pot and started screaming and vomiting uncontrollably, i.e. "scromiting"? Are people up there in Humboldt Country being warned about this new disease called Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome, or has news about this problem not reached your area yet?

Doctors are trying to get the word out about this now: cannabis-smokers-warned-over-terrifying-new-disease

Cheers!
