  • It’s a shame that studies on marijuana and its effects on users were blocked and considered taboo subjects for so long. The reason we have these types of conflicting messaging about the safety/danger of marijuana use, is because there has not been enough research or longitudinal studies in those regards.

    Can you become addicted to marijuana? Maybe. Does marijuana cause cancer? Maybe. Does it cause this or that or the other thing? Maybe.

    For now we have to make assumptions. If you’re worried about getting addicted, you should probably stay away. If you’re worried about it being a carcinogen, you should probablt stay away. We’re probably a long ways away from having conclusive evidence to show either way.


  • Hot tip for anyone looking to save a little money and have an ad free experience on Kindle.

    I bought the Kindle with ads, saved like, $30 I think? Anyway, if you buy a Kindle with ads, set it all up and use it for a bit, contact Amazon support and say how you didn’t realize that it came with ads and that the ads are very intrusive or some other BS like that. They’ll tell you that you can pay a one time fee (once again, I think it was $30) to remove them. Just say something about how that’s awfully expensive , and keep saying how much you really love the device, but you think you’re going to return it because of the ads. The second you say you’d like to start the return process, they’ll panic and just say that, “good news, we’ve decided to remove the ads for you for free”.

    Obviously being nice and not an asshole is the way to go. Actually just don’t be an asshole to any support person. They don’t get paid enough to get treated like shit.
